    It was 8:34 PM. Ash and Phil were in a forest clearing, training their assigned pokemon, while Gary and Brock scouted the area for any Team Rocket field agents and Misty kept an eye on the sky for any Team Rocket balloons or blimps.
"Electrode, rollout!" commanded Ash.
"Magcargo, counter with rock slide!" ordered Phil.
Electrode rolled forward, gaining speed and was just about to crash into Magcargo when it slid to the side and began to levitate several nearby rocks and drop them on the rolling Electrode. Electrode was stopped in it path, and severely hurt, but it fought back.
"Electrode, thunderbolt!" commanded Ash.
Electrode crarged up an electro-static field around itself, and unleashed it in a bolt of electric energy, which struck Magcargo. Being a fire and rock type, Magcargo was immune to the electric attack.
"Magcargo, flamethrower!" shouted Phil.
Magcargo opened its mouth and blew a stream of fire at Electrode, but the electric type managed to roll out of the way.
"Try another rollout, Electrode!" said Ash.
Elecrode rolled towards Magcargo.
"Dodge it!" shouted Phil.
But it was no use. Magcargo was struck. Electrode turned around and rolled into Magcargo again.
"Screech, Electrode!" commanded Ash.
Electrode opened it mouth and let out a blood curdling screech. Magcargo howled in pain and curled up on the ground trying to block out the noise. Ash saw an opening for an attack.
"Electrode, use an thunderbolt, but aim for the lava part of the body, and try not to hit the rocks!" shouted Ash.
Electrode charged up more static electricity and struck Magcargo, knocking it out.
"Good battle, Ash. It looks like power overcame power. Though usually I prefer strategy." said Phil.
"With these pokemon, it's hard to develop a good strategy." said Ash.
"Thats all too true." said Phil quietly.
Misty stepped out of the darkness quietly, brandishing her PP9, and holding a pokeball.
"Be quiet. There's a Team Rocket balloon above." she said.
Ash glanced up and saw the notorious trademark Meowth balloon. He quickly grabbed two pokeballs;  Bulbasaur and Chikorita while recalling his tired Electrode. Phil pulled Charizard's pokeball off of his belt and motioned for Flareon, who was over under a tree to get ready. Above, a rope ladder fell from the balloon and five individuals climbed down. Ash instantly noticed the first two to be no other than Jessie and James. The other three were Grunts, armed with revolvers. Phil took cover behind a rock, while Ash and Misty ducked behind a tree.
"Allright, twerps. We know you're all nearby, so there's no use in hiding." said James.
Phil rolled out from behind his hiding spot and shot four rounds from his pistol. One shot slammed into the ground, another flew harmlessly through the air. One hit a grunt in the hand, knocking away his gun and another sailed through the air and hit the large balloon, puncturing it. Flareon unleashed a flamethrower that distracted the grunts, while Ash and Misty fired their guns at the balloon, making more holes, allowing the air to escape quicker.
Brock and Gary ran out of the forest with Onix and Gary's assigned Raichu.
"Thunderbolt, Raichu!" shouthed Gary. Raichu let out an electric shock that stunned the grunts.
Onix slithered up to the three Gunts and constricted them with its rocky body, disabling them from moving.
Jessie and James called out their four Pokemon, and ordered them to attack. Ash released his two pokemon.
Chikorita, Bulbasaur! Use razor leaf!" ordered Ash.
The two grass types unleashed volleys of razor shap leaves at James's pokemon.
"Use a continuous thundershock, Raichu!" shouted Gary.
Raichu shocked Jessie's Arbok untill it fainted and Phil's Charizard, who was just released, fried her Wobbufett to a crisp with a fire spin.
"Go, Staryu! Shuriken!" commanded Misty, releasing her powerful water type.
Staryu spun through the air at high speeds and slamed into Victreebell, making a long gash on its bell.
"Flareon, flamethrower!" commanded Phil.
Flareon shot a stream of fire at James' Weezing, knocking it out.
"Chikorita, Bulbasaur, use a vine whip on those two!" commanded Ash, pointing at Jessie and James.
The two grass pokemon extended their vines and constricted Jessie and James.
"Let us go, twerps!" shouted Jessie.
"You're all held back, your pokemon are defeated and you're all disarmed. What are you going to do? Breathe on us to death?" taunted Misty.
"Shut up, you scrawny little brat!" yelled James.
Misty's confident facial expression quickly turned to one of anger.
"Scrawny?! Staryu, water gun at his face!" shouted Misty.
James squealed and got a face full of water from one of Staryu's limbs.
The grunts constricted by Brock's Onix couldn't help but laugh at the sight.
"Shut up you imbeciles!" Jessie shrieked at the grunts.
"So, what do we do with them, Gary?" asked Ash.
"I'm not sure." said Gary.
"Send them to HQ, is what I say." said Phil.
"Okay, I'll make contact." said Brock.
Brock reached into his cargo pants and pulled out a cellular phone and dialed in the number for HQ.

    Mark Patterson was sitting at his desk when the phone rang. He picked up the reciever.
"Yes? Oh, hello. You captured five Team Rocket agents? Good work, I'll have a transport go to the forest we sent you two." said Mark, and he hung up the phone.
Mark pressed a button on his desk and a monitor dropped from a panel in the ceiling. The face of Jack Young appeared.
"Yes sir?" asked Jack.
"The group you are protecting have managed to capture five Team Rocket agents. Go and get them, then bring them back to HQ for interrogation." said Mark.
"Roger." said Jack, and the moniter flickered off and raised back up into the ceiling.

    Ash, Misty and Brock were still in the clearing, salvaging equipment  from the fallen ballon, which contained Meowth, who was too frightened to move.
"Meowth! Please don't hurt me!" whimpered Meowth, his paws up in the air and shivering.
"We aren't going to do anything to you." said Misty.
"Just tell us what all of this equipment is, and what it's for." said Ash.
"Well that grey case has some stolen pokemon. And that briefcase has some powerful guns in it. Everything else is either equipment for repairing the balloon, or are food supplies." Meowth replied shakily.
"Good. Meowth, would you like to come with us?" asked Misty.
"It's not like you have many choices. We're not going to let you find your way back to Team Rocket, and If we send you to HQ, they'll just run tests on you or something because you can talk." said Brock.
"Fine. I'll come with you guys. But none of you ain't putting me in no pokeball." said Meowth proudly.
"Okay. But you better work on that grammar. That was a triple negative." said Misty.
The sound of chopper blades spinning could be heard off in the distance.
"Sounds like the cavalry has come. Misty, you stay back and watch Meowth. Me and Ash will go and help Gary and Phil get the Rockets onto the copter." said Brock.
"Okay." replied Misty.
Ash ran off towards where Phil and Gary were, keeping all of the Rockets restrained. Within a few minutes, the choper landed and out stepped Jack, holding a fully loaded MP5 in one hand and five pairs of handcuffs in the other. Following him were two other adult agents, each carrying an AK-47.
"Okay. Release the two leaders." said Jack.
"Okay, guys, release the vine whip." said Ash.
Bulbasaur and Chikorita retracted their vines, releasing Jessie and James.
Jack quickly walked over to them and snapped the handcuffs on their wrists. The other agents directed them into the chopper as Onix released his consriction on the grunts and Jack handcuffed them. Then they were lead to the chopper by Jack.
"Nice seeing you all again. Good luck with your assignment." said Jack.
One of the two agents closed the door to the chopper and soon it took off into the night sky again.
"Well that was an experience." said Brock.
"We'll have to be on our guard. There may be other Team Rocket troops around. And if they have automatic weapons, then we don't stand a chance with revolvers and pistols." said Gary.
"Maybe not. But Meowth told us there are powerful pistols and stolen pokemon in the balloon." said Misty.
"A Meowth?" questioned Phil skeptically.
"It can speak english perfectly for some reason. It's always with Jessie and James, but this time it's coming with us." said Ash.
"Well, what are we going to do with that balloon. Any team rocket blimps or airships will spot it easilly." said Gary.
"We could burn the balloon part and keep the spare one in case we need to make a quick escape." said Phil.
"But that balloon is notoriously slow and is really easy to spot when it's in the air. Wouldn't it be quicker to escape by flying on our pokemon or running. We could also call for backup from HQ to send a helicopter." said Misty.
"Why don't we hide the balloon part and sabotage the engine." said Gary.
"Okay. I'll get all of the stuff thats left in the balloon, and we can find another place to set up camp." said Ash.
    Within fifteen minutes, the Team Rocket balloon was emptied of its contents and set in the middle of the clearing for a 'Fireworks display'.
"Allright. Why don't we use Team Rockets own weapons to destroy their own balloon." suggested Phil.
Ash opened the large briefcase which contained a 12 guage shotgun and two Magsec 4 millitary pistols. Gary grabbed the shotgun and Ash and Phil took the two magsecs. Gary pumped the shotgun and Ash and Phil loaded the two pistols and set them to the 3 round burst function. They all stood a good distance away from the balloon and aimed at the engine.
"Allright. On one. Three. Two. One!" shouted Gary.
Gary unleashed a blast of shotgun fire, and it tore into the engine while Ash and Phil fired away at it with the millitary pistols. The fuel tank erupted it a blast of flames and the balloon was incinerated.
"Now that was better than any new years fireworks." said Misty.
"Speaking of fire, we better put it out before it causes damage or attracts attention." said Brock.
"Go, Staryu! Use water gun!" yelled Misty.
"Go, Totodile! Put out the flame!" shouted Ash.
The two pokemon each blasted a large stream of water at the smouldering pieces of scrap metal and doused the flames.
"We should get moving." said Gary.
Ash flicked the saftey on on his magsec and Phil did the same and Misty carried Gary's shotgun while he and Brock gathered the supplies. In a few minutes, they had all of their 'luggage' wrapped up in the old balloon and all of their pokemon back in their pokeballs, save Pikachu and Meowth who were walking along side. In a few seconds, they had disapeared into the darkness.

End note: Allright! Action and a long chapter! This story's moving along quite quickly. I think for the next episode, an assigned pokemon will evolve, so stay tuned for Chapter Four: Ragnarok.
