Part 3

Few hours later, Ash and co were almost crossed over Olivander city’s boarders when a feminine voice stopped them.

“Wait!”

All: Huh?!

Mi: It’s Nurse Joy!

As: What could she want?

Br: What else? She has come for me! Finally my love was

accepted by THE most beautiful, adorable, understanding

Nurse Joy!

Mi: He’s total insane….

N.Joy: I have been looking all over for you.

Suddenly, Brock fell on one knee, as he placed his hands around hers.

Br: And I have been looking for you all my life!

N.Joy: He he…

Br: How about me and I I I-!!!

Nurse Joy was caught off guard by Brock’s actions and at that moment didn’t know what to do or say to him.

Misty showed up and grabbed his ear, pulling him away.

Ash came near to Nurse Joy.

Ash: Why were you looking for us?

N.Joy: A Pidgey mail came for you and it’s said urgent outside, so

I’m making sure you get it quickly.

Ash: Thanks Nurse Joy.

N.Joy: Goodbye.

Mi: What is it, Ash?

Ash: It’s a letter from Prof. Oak.

Br: What does it say?

Ash tears the parcel and unfolds the letter, as all four silently read it, even though, Pikachu can’t read!

Ash: It says we have to go to Goldenrod city and take the magnet

train for Saffron city, where his college will meet us at the

city’s Pokecenter.

He say’s is urgent.

Mi: We can’t say no if is urgent, can we?

Br: It will take us a few days to reach Goldenrod.

“Not necessarily!”

A Meowth air balloon appeared into the sky above their heads. Three figures were in the basket.

Ash: God, why me?

Prepare for trouble!

Make it double!

To protect our world from division!

Unite the people in our nation!

Jessie!

James!

Team Rocket blasts at the speed of light!

Surrender your pokemon or we knock out your lights!

Meow, that’s right!

Br: Aren’t you fed up of chasing us around for all these years?

Je: To be honest…NO!

Ja: No, not until we capture Pikachu!

Ash: Pikachu, give it your best shot…

Mi: Ash, wait! We could use their balloon and reach Goldenrod

city less than a day.

Br: But how?

Ash stepped forward and took off his hat as if he’s surrendering from a fatal defeat.

Ash: Team Rocket, I admire your power and I always thought that

your cunning and disguises are becoming far superior.
I’m not a match for or obstacle to your great goal.

Here, take Pikachu and let me be.

He said as he picked up Pikachu in his hands and lifted him up.

Mi: Ash, no!

Br: This isn’t the way, man!

Je: It looks rather suspicious. We didn’t do anything yet.

Ja: Still how many chances have we getting our hands on Pikachu?

Me: One in a zillion. I could use my Pik-arm just in case we’re

being tricked, meow.

Ja: Good idea, Meowth.

Je: Goody, goody, we’ve Pikachu and do you know what it means?

Ja: Credit of recognition!

Je: Lots of cash!

Me: Food! Come here, Pikachu!

An electronic claw stretched out, grabbed Pikachu from Ash and brought it upwards the basket.

T.R: WE’VE GOT PIKACHU!

Me: Hey, what is Pikachu holding?

Ja: It looks like a pokeball.

Je: Thanks, twerp, for giving us a pokeball! Pokeball go!

Jessie threw the pokeball at Pikachu, but he hit it with his tail. It bounced up again, revealing a red light, which slowly formed into a pokemon.

“Hou hou!”

Je: It’s Noctowl!

Me: Is it a bonus gift?

Ash: Hardly. Noctowl, use Hypnosis!

T.R: WHAT?!

Noctowl’s eyes and body reddened from its psychic attack, which can hypnotize its opponent to sleep. And it did just that.

All three T.R members fell into a deep sleep.

Ash: Good job, Noctowl. Now pull the balloon down here from

those ropes!

Noctowl obeyed Ash’s commands and Pikachu jumped in his arms

“Pika pikapi!” (We tricked them Ash!)

“Hou hou!” (What numbskulls!)

Ash: Yeah, we’re a great team. Now, lets lay them next to those

trees and then we’re off.

Mi: Very sneaky of you, Ash. But still T.R isn’t hard to foul.

Br: At least they weren’t empty-handed.

Ash: Yeah.

All: Hahahaha!

They laughed as they flew away with T.R’s air balloon.

Jessie, James and Meowth were still sleeping soundly under the apple trees.

A ‘thank you’ note was placed on Meowth’s lap.
