Episode 49! Ooh! Almost at fifty! Yay!
Disclaimer: If you think Shadow owns pokemon, great. That way I am safe from being sued. If you know I don’t own pokemon, then you must be crazy to sue me, because all I have is an AP Biology textbook, five dollars, and Destiny + Pika-chan + Charlotte. Oh, and Skymew plus the Cosmos League badges/gyms/cities/characters.

Inami – Thank you! Well, actually, writing CCA isn’t as hard as Evolutionary problems (scowls). If you haven’t read the original CCA, I just uploaded it, so in case anyone wants to read it…
Ranma – Gracias! Here we go! Actually, I wasn’t even thinking about who led TR…
Rowena Ravenclaw – Hi! *Forces Moltres away* that’s so cool!
I wanted to be called Charlotte… Anyways, Evil Ash/Destiny and Ash meets Red
are both good. *Smile* I will update, never fear!
Eevee99 – Vulpix-chan will have a larger role, so don’t worry! We’re just
waiting for something to happen… Hehehe…
Nikki Wind and Crystal Wind: Hi! No, it’s not Darien at Amber City… *Throttles Darien* since I hate him. And fortunately, Ash will probably be able to evade Mina. *Grabs Mina and tosses her out of authorspace*
SnowTiger – You guessed right! Who else would it be?
Tmp – did I say it was Eriol? Oh well. I had fun creating Jaime and Jasmine, and I like dark pokemon. Charlotte is afraid of water, since her magic is ‘sun’.
Silver2 – I will! I am updating as fast as I can!
Mathias – 8888 – Well, thanks for reading the old CCA. I probably should up the rating.
Severus’ Potion Mistress – Wow! Thanks for your support!
Fire Eevee – Satoshi, I know it’s you. Well, it’s not Eriol, but someone else who is partially playing Eriol’s role. Team Rocket was a bit smarter, yes. Why not? It’s more challenging that way.
Episode 49: Infiltrating the Rocket base
“This is all very good, but how do we get in?” Charlotte asked, as they appeared a hundred yards away from the Team Rocket Headquarters, located under an innocent-looking bright yellow skyscraper in Venus City.
“Um, I don’t know.” Ash said. “I guess we wait for an opportunity.”
As if on cue, a team of rockets in gray uniforms walked in front of the building. Ash looked at Charlotte.
“Are you thinking what I’m thinking?”
“Yep. Mew, use Disable.” The pokemon card floated in front of the two shocked rockets and paralyzed them before they had a chance to say anything. Then, the rockets were tied up with strips of cloth and buried a few feet underground.
“Let’s go.” Charlotte said as she dragged the female rocket member into the bush and took her uniform.
“This
doesn’t fit very well…”Ash said as he tucked his pant legs into the boots.
“They’re too long.”
“Nobody’s going to notice.”
Charlotte said. “Besides, mine doesn’t fit either… how can they fight in this?”
Ash shrugged. They also took the ID cards from the two rockets and walked boldly in through the double doors.
“Password?” The bored-looking grey-haired woman in a white flowered dress at the front desk asked. She was too busy looking into her cup of coffee to look them in the eyes or anything like that.
“Raticate Tail.” Ash said. The lady waved them through, not even bothering to glance at their ID cards.
“How’d you know?” Charlotte whispered as they walked down the hallway.
“The rocket had it written on a piece of paper in his pocket.” Ash whispered back, trying to stifle a laugh.
After a few hours of wandering, it was evident that this was not a very efficient way to gather information about their stolen pokemon.
“What do we do?”
“I don’t’ know.” Ash answered. Just then, they passed by a set of double doors that had ‘Biochemical Lab – do not enter’ on it.
From inside came screams. Ash pricked up his ears as he recognized one of the voices. “That’s Pika-chan!”
“Bingo. There’s our target.” Charlotte said. By unspoken agreement, both summoned forth their respective weapons and prepared to break in.
“Moltres-.”
Ash was about to call out the titan of fire when Charlotte shook her head. “Too
obvious. We need something quiet. Like acid to melt through the doors or
something like that…”
“Acid, huh? Okay, then I
choose – Arbok!” Ash said. The poison snake underwent the necessary
transformation into what is known as an ‘Ash card’ and reared up, prepared to
ram the doors down.
“No, Arbok. I want you to use Acid and melt through them.”
Arbok shrugged and sprayed a mouthful of caustic substance at the door. Slowly, wisps of smoke rose from the door, and soon, a small opening appeared. A second dose of Acid was added and soon, the door was gone.
The scientists in the lab must have been too occupied with trying to attach electrical impulse wires to Pika-chan and Vulpix-chan, without any success, I might add, to notice that the door had mysteriously vanished. In any case, the element of surprise is always useful in a battle, so the two decided to use it to their advantage.
“Card created by Clow, please accept this new star power and take your new form! Your new master Ashura commands you, Release.” Ash whispered as he tossed two cards into the air. “Horsea, use Smokescreen. Muk, use Toxic.” Muk nodded and the air filled with toxic fumes while Horsea covered the area with black smoke.
“Jolteon, Pin Missle!” Charlotte said, releasing her own pokemon cards. “Oh yeah, and lace the needles with paralysis powder, please?” Jolteon nodded. One by one, the scientists went down. But for some obscure reason, the alarm didn’t sound at all.
Of course, it might have been because Pika-chan was chewing through all the wires and Vulpix-chan was snapping them in half with her claws.
After a few minutes, Ash and Charlotte had located and reclaimed their pokemon and guardians.
“I think we should leave now.”
“Me too.” Charlotte said. “I
wouldn’t want to overstay our welcome.”
They both grabbed onto Skymew, and she teleported them out and into a forest clearing pretty far away.
Teresa was waiting with Angel.
“I can’t believe you did that!” She said, snapping pictures of them in their Team Rocket uniforms.
Angel yawned and licked his paws. < I’m glad you made it back safely. >
“But you couldn’t have helped anyways.” Ash stated.
Teresa frowned. “Oh yeah?”
“Drop it.” Pika-chan said. Then, she hugged Ash. “I knew you’d rescue us!”
Vulpix-chan hugged Charlotte tightly and purred. Both card masters shrugged and petted their guardian absentmindedly, resulting in one of those ‘twin’ scenes.
“This is so cute…” Teresa gushed as she taped for about ten minutes. Then, she put away her camera.
“All right, let’s get going!”
“Odd that she’d say that.” Charlotte said as she mounted her Arcanine.
“Must be planning a new costume for me.” Ash whispered back. * I’m doomed. Please don’t let it be frilly, pink, or have sequins. *
And so, the travelers continued on their journey. Teresa scribbled costume designs furiously in a notebook as they traveled.
Ash played Solitaire on his pokédex and tried to ignore Pika-chan, who was eating his chocolate-covered raisins.
Charlotte kept a lookout for more demons and played snake on her pokédex.
Pika-chan ate happily.
Vulpix-chan took a nap.
And they continued on.
Teresa sighed. * Why am I jealous? I’m not jealous! This is so confusing! I mean, I think I like Ash. But then, I’m not sure… *
Her Kangaskhan kept walking.
“Chips, anyone?” Charlotte asked, holding out a bag of potato chips.
“Me!” Vulpix-chan said, racing over.
Angel quietly settled on Charlotte’s head, not saying anything.
“I want chips too!” Pika-chan chirped as she flew over. “Ash, can I have some fruit juice?”
“How much do I have?” Ash asked as he opened his backpack.
“Still some left…”
“Please?” Pika-chan turned on the big puppy dog eyes and went all kawaii with shimmery shiawase bubbles around her.
“Okay.” Ash sighed.
“Yay!” Pika-chan cheered. She and Vulpix-chan took the snacks. Then, they floated in the air and ate for a while.
Teresa was silent, which was unusual, but none of the other travelers noticed, being too preoccupied with other events.
End Episode 49! C&CC, review please! Flames will be used to weld Nakago’s armor… Hehehehe…. Seiryu rules!
