Chapter Six: The Battle 



         I looked over at Matthew and said,“I’ll take Arbok.”
         He nodded and called for his Sandshrew to focus on Wheezing. 
         “Dartanion! Use tackle attack!” I called. He came within inches of 
hitting Arbok, but the attack was dodged.
         Under Jessie’s command, he coiled his tail around Dartanion, nearly 
crushing him.
         “Bite him!” I screamed. Dartanion bit him as soon as he could move his 
jaw. Arbok lost his grip on Dart and fell backwards. Dart tackled him, winning 
the battle for us.
         Matthew’s Sandshrew had wrestled Wheezing to the ground and filled the 
holes in his body with sand. 
         Suddenly, we heard sirens outside.Apparently Jessie and James didn’t, 
since they were still standing there. 
         “Bulbasaur! Grab them now!” Matthew screamed.
         Jessie and James were trapped and Flash was tying them up with rope to 
replace Bulbasaur’s vines, when the police walked in.
         “I’m proud of you kids. You’ve done a good deed today…” Officer Jenny 
went to continue, but was interrupted when Meowth started dragging the bags of 
pokéballs into the balloon. 
         “Sunbeam, steal his charm! Flash, Dart, rip open the bags!”
         My plan had worked. Meowth was lost without his ‘precious’ charm. Now 
the police could take away Team Rocket, and the pokéballs could be returned to 
the students.
