When I came to the first thing I felt was the chill in the air. James was always a cover hog. I .found myself reaching for the stolen covers, but fell over. My hands and ankles were tied; from the sounds I was in a car, van or something but it was moving. How did I get here? I raked my brain to figure it out. I remember a bright light, head lights, being run off the road. Growley tried but was attacked by a stronger pokemon and was knocked out. Everything after was fuzzy. Then there was a groan from a girl, there was someone else, maybe she could help me figure out what was going on. "Who's there" I said, I barly reconized my voice as it was so dry.

"Jessie?" the girl asked confused. How did she know me? Come to think about it I heard her voice before too. "Jessie what kind of scheem are ya'll up to this time?"

"Me? I'm not up to anything I woke up here clueless just like you" I said annoyed that the twerpet was the one I was with, but crawled over to her my eyes had adjusted to the dark for the most part. Her hair had grown to her mid back since our last run in. "Here let's try to get these ropes untied." I said hushed, I didn't want whoever was driving to know we were awake. Misty nodded as we positioned ourselves back to back.

"What do you think they want with us? I don't hear any of my pokemon and they were all out at the time. They wanted us not Pokemon." she had a point whatever this creep or creeps wanted it had to do with us. I then heard talking we crawled over to the sound. The vehicle was one of those vans with no windows whatsoever in the back there was no escaping let.

"C'mon John can't I mess with them just a little." one asked, as if he was asking to play with an older kids new toy.

"No, Wayne this is an assignment. The boss is collecting talented ex-rockets, their our bait." this ones voice was much deeper and sounded ratter annoyed

"The little ones not a rocket, what she got to do with anything." his wining reminded me of James'.

"Supposingly she and her boyfriend have great potental and foiled many of the teams plans before all they need to do now is put them threw the machine. What are you suddenly so board for I thought you were mooing to that Botch about his girlfriends birthmarks and what all you did to her." I felt a ping of sympathy for Cassidy but I had better things to worry about, like escaping. I was completely lost. John seemed like the leader and the driver. Wayne just seem like a pervert; what did he do to Cassidy? What is this machine they were talking about and why did they think I would come back the team after the way they treated James and I. Better yet why do they think the twerps will join? Misty seemed to be pondering the same thing.

---------------------------------------------------

I didn't want to put this on her so soon, but Jessie and the twerp girl wouldn't have long they would be on their way to Headquarters soon enough. If we wanted revenge on the team now was our chance if we waited they would just get more powerful and so forth. They already had many powerful people join agents their will including a few Jennys and Joys. They targeted Samuel Oak too but he seemed to know about the attack and went into hiding or underground. We had tried to sabotage what we could, which wasn't much after screwing up the kidnapping of Professor Ivy, they put us on strictly tearing down security of pokemon supply shops and the rare Pokemon center and if we screwed that up it'll be our necks.

"I'm going with you." she said really softly; it was the first thing she had said in two weeks. The bruising on her wrists was still very dark at least it better than blue and purple like it was when they found her. The bruises were only a reminder of how our team, our family had betrayed us. Clyde did nothing to Wayne for his attack on Cassie and I got severely punished for taking matters into my own hands; it was an injustice if there ever was one. He said if I did anything like that again he would turn Cassidy and I into guinea pigs for the super nerds latest inventions. Because of this Wayne wants to tempt me with taunting e-mails of what he did to her. They just made my blood boil; I would like to kill the bastard, if I was given the chance. My violent thoughts were interupeted by Cassidy's voice, "we have to stop them, even if it means working with Jessie and James."

"Alright but if it gets too dangerous I'm leaving you at a pokemon center... I just can't loose you again" I said bringing her into a embrace.

"We should get going." she whispered into my chest. Leaving I lit a cigeritte which she took from me. Shocked I was about to protest; she didn't smoke, but she took it in her mouth and inhaled, then pasted it back to me. She didn't cough and weeze this time but seemed a little less tense. "So where are we meeting James and the kid."

"Aysonburg" she didn't speak again until we got to our hotel. "Baby, I want you to stay here, clubs are dangerous and..." she put her finger over my lips

"you be carful then" she said standing on her tip toes to kiss me. We had been close long before we joined the team, but it wasn't until we were on the white squad on our way to the black squad that we started sleeping together. Though we tried to keep it under wraps, rumers went around anyway. It had been a long time since she felt up to anything much less this, for this reason I was late leaving for the game corner.

------------------------------------

"It's almost ten, he's not coming, we're just sitting around here like fools." I said from the bar stool, James seemed to think differently though

"he'll be here, I know he will. Have a little faith why don't you." I wanted to but worry seamed to be crushing what little I had left. Sure enough a man in a sun hat with kaki shorts and a green and yellow shirt, came in at five till ten.

"Sorry I'm late" he said not looking up he had a cigarette in his mouth. "Uhm we should probably get a table drinks on me." It was then the mystery man showed his face, Biff from team rocket. I should've known Team Rocket was responsible for Misty's disappearance.

"Your Biff, What have you done with our friends." I shouted the club was so loud my shouting was only noticed by the two of them.

"Now listen here twerp I have nothing to do with Jessie's kidnapping or your little girlfriend's and for the last time the name is Butch!" I was a little taking back by his anger, but it seemed like I had only been the last straw, like it had been building up for a long time.

"Butch, where's Cassidy." James said calmly. His voice displaying distrust as well.

"She's at the hotel, we had a pretty rough year for us. I'll explain that as we go. First off Giovanni retired a year after you and Jessie left the new person in charge is a mad scientist who had invented a machine that bends the wills of people. Remember the time when we used Drowse’s brainwaves to steal others pokemon, same concept but it's a stronger connection and acts more like a switch, if you were a saint before you could very well become the next anti-Christ, and to think these were the laughing stocks of the team in our hay day. When I heard Giovanni was putting crazy Clyde in charge and Bonkers Bonnie as his second in command, I thought the old fart lost his marbles. Then came his opening assembly, supposedly they tested it on stupid grunts and trainers they bribed most went crazy or died. For their demonstration however, they brought in a Jenny. She was kicking and yelling that we weren't going to get away with it; after three rockets forced her into what looked like a giant electric chair, they strapped her in and pulled a lever. The lights flickered and her screams filled the air. When it was done she was pledging her allegiance to the team. Lately they have targeted old rockets, who have quiet or Giovanni fired. You and the girls are on the list; their planning on putting them through machine you too if your not careful. Cassidy and I were agents it from the beginning, but after hearing about another rocket being killed for saying that the machine wasn't what Giovanni had in mind when he said we would rule the world. The rocket had spoke out in the assembly. Clyde then pulled out a gun and shot him right there. Calling him useless. He regroup Cass and I were demoted along with serveal others. So several people became brain washed, includeing a few Joys and Jennys. Mewoth heard they were going after you and Jessie and...they put him through too. As agenist it as we were we knew we wouldn't be allowed to just quit." Butch paused to light another cigarette, He offered James and I one but we politely refused. "The rockets that took Jessie and..."

"Misty" James finished

With a nod, Butch continued. "Yes Misty. The rockets are John and Wayne. They were assigned to take the girls and bring them to the HQ in Viridian City. As far as I know they haven't made it yet because your girls are putting up a good fight." he must of saw the worried looks on James and my face became he added, "I don't think they would hurt them, not that it's not in their nature. John is really professional when it comes to assignments and he's the leader, if he wasn't I'd be worried." he took a big breath putting out his cigarette, the next thing didn't seem to want to come out. "You can crash at our hotel tonight and tomorrow we will help you find them and maybe we can attempt to reverse the damage by destroying that damned device. I need to tell you one thing though and I don't want you to worry too much about it, but Wayne attacked Cassidy a little over a week ago." I felt myself gulp in fear for Misty. James' expression changed too. "She's still very shaken up by it, so please don't mention John or Wayne around her comment on any bruises or cuts she has, practically the ones on her wrists." his voice was really showing his buried anger.

I really felt for him, if someone had attacked Misty he would want to get back at them too. "We won't mention anything."

"Thanks for helping us, I know it's very dangerous for you and Cassidy to be doing this." James said. He had really toughened up since I last saw him. Butch then walked us to his hotel a few blocks away. It was really run down, I saw at least to rattatas run by and a bunch of weedles crawling all over a thrown away hamburger. Misty would freak, but Misty were with these John and Wayne characters who seemed to be worst than Jessie, James, Butch and Cassidy combined. We had to stop this new Team Rocket.
