‘Shit’, thought Ash as he went into a kickboxing stance. Misty did the same except her stance wasn’t as wide. She looked over to Ash as almost to ask, ‘What do we do now?’. Acting quickly Ash grabbed his girlfriends bag and his bag. He spins them around and around gaining momentum. In the corner of his eye he sees the closest of the group. Finally he lets it all loose at the ninja coming towards the cleared road/path not to far from their position. The ninja fell straight down leaving an opening in the circle for Ash and Misty to escape through. Ash and Misty broke into that full speed all out sprint that they came near to when Pikachu fell off the cliff. Ash and Misty thought they made it far enough from the ninja’s to re-group their stamina and defences. Ash was about to pull out Pika when a small ball fell in between he and Misty. He saw it in the corner of his eye again but at the speed it was falling he couldn’t do anything. All he could do was contemplate their state of position and the time in their life they had left. To Ash the ball could be a wide range explosive to as small as a smoke bomb. During this break down of the time during the ball’s decent Misty looked at Ash and he at Misty. The ball hit the ground and a tiny blast threw shards of solidified stun spore and sleep powder followed by trails of the real stuff in every direction. With all the training Ash had done with Pikachu he tried his hardest to resist the effects of the sleep powder and the stun spore. This would add at least 10 more seconds to his conscious time. Opening his bag quickly he tried to release Pika but one of the ninja’s knocked him lightly in the back of the head. He fell to the side and hit the ground hard. Because of the stun spore in the air, Ash was very susceptible to any blow to the head. He lay there and saw Misty unconscious laying on her side. One second Misty was there and the next, in a black blur, she was gone with the blur. Because of this he decided to beacon for help. Luckily the chain rolled out of his open bag along with a black Pikachu (the ninjas shot an automatic covering suit for Pokemon in the bag and this one was made of rubber). Pikachu could still run and jump but he could not use his electric attacks or bite people.
“Pikachu . . .
Run!” Ash said with his last ounce of strength as he pressed the R twice on his
personal homing beacon. Pikachu ran As fast as it
could but as he got out of the spores in the air, his suit started to sprout
shoots that fanned out trying to slow Pikachu down and anchor him to the
ground. A ninja landed beside Pika and took him away. Ash wondering about what
happened to everybody fell completely unconscious. Another Ninja picked him up
and met up with the one carrying Misty. The ninja’s arrived at a camp in the
evening and put sleep powder directly into their blood streams using a
hypospray to their necks. Pikachu suffered the odd felling of being inside a
pokeball. There the ninja’s left Ash, Misty and Pikachu there with troopers
from the Dark Defiers. The ninja’s got into a boat at the nearby river and road
to a yacht ship off the coast of
Team Rocket
Headquarters, a tired Butch takes the elevator to the 5th and top floor of the
gym building (this is the viridian city gym building). As he walks down the
corridor doing his early morning system warning patrol he comes across a
beeping in the Global Surveillance and Tracking room. He looks around and finds
the beeping originating from the Magar screen. As he looks more closely he sees
that it’s flashing the league symbol, which was the one he designated to Ash.
He sits down and activates the specs of the beacon. According to what the
computer said Ash had activated the beacon at
A phone rings a normal ringing tone in the 3rd floor of the residence building far back in forest behind the gym in a room facing west, which is where James and Jesse reside. In the mountain headquarters where Kytty was training the new recruits the phone rang. Back in the rocket residence on the 5th floor where Umiko stayed the phone rang. In the basement of the gym where Cassidy was working with the scientists a phone rang in her pocket. And in the second gym room (the dark room) where Giovanni was looking around at the design of the gym the wall mounted phone rang. They all picked up. Butch and Giovanni had a video phone connections but the rest were only speaker. Here was their conversation:
“Hello”, answered James.
“Is that you James”, asked Cassidy.
“Yeah did you call”, asked James.
“No I did”, replies Butch unasked.
“What do you want!? I’m trying to admire this masterpiece of a room”, asks Giovanni.
“Whoa who’s Mr. Grumpy over there”, said an uninformed sleepyhead with grumpiness in her voice.
“It is your boss, Umiko, so watch it”, replied an angry ready-to-pulverize-Umiko Giovanni.
“Sorry sir--”, replied an oppressed Umiko.
“Umiko is that you?”, asked Kytty
“Kytty? . . . ”, she said with growing happiness, “How have you been”
“Not bad just tired because I had to ta-- .” says an interrupted Kytty.
“Sorry to interrupt but we have to get to the nature at hand”, said Butch.
“I just discovered an alert from the Magar screen which shows Ash and if he did what I told him to do in the letter then the ninja’s should be right on his tail or have him already. So, should we go and get him Gio, or what”, asked Butch trying to hurry Giovanni up mentally.
“Watch them, then strike. I want where they are heading, how they are going and who they are going with reported to a member here during the mission. If possible try to find a way to connect to their network. Get as many information files an 800 mb CD-RW can take” he said with concern in his voice (a CD-RW is a RE-writable CD).
“Should we get another ninja”, asked James.
“No but when you rescue them you can plant bugs. I hope you know the place isn’t going down”, commanded Giovanni.
“Gotcha”, said James.
“I can do this”, said Umiko.
“Now we can have some fun”, said Cassidy.
“Good now go and track their means of getting to the boat before there is no time left”, he said strictly.
“How did ya know where them thieves were gonna head” asked Kytty.
“I didn’t but I’m sure they will eventually head back there and that’s why I said go”, said a frustrated Giovanni.
“I recon… c’mon lets jet team”
Click, click, click, click, click . . . click. James was the last to put down the phone.
“Who was that”, asked Jessie.
“It was our sector calling . . . danmmit, looks like team rockets blasting off again”, replied an angry James with a hint of sarcasm.
“Don’t worry it’ll be another raise”, said Jessie, “then we can spend the rest of the time on a vacation. C’mon what do you say?”
“Hmmph, your a lot happier. What happened yesterday remem---”, asked a very concerned James.
“Not another word” she says interrupting him.
Jessie walks up to him and kisses him for a long time and pulls him in close. James put his arms around her and they waddle, while kissing, over to the bed and the rest writes itself.

Wednesday,
“So what happened”, he asked trying to come back from his K.O., which felt like it was a concussion.
“You tell me”, she replied.
“And our Pokemon” he asked.
“Once again you -”, she said interrupted.
“Tell me yeah, yeah, I know”, he says with a hint of sarcasm.
“Come on help me get out a here”, she said already to go and bust her way out.
“Wait maybe we should try and find our Pokemon first”, he said thinking on his feet.
“Or we can just wait for our enemies to come and rescue us . . . do you still have that orb chain thingy”, she asked like she was interrogating him.
“Yeah I do but who knows if they’ll get here before anything happens to us”, he said with freight in his voice.
“Oh they better be or I’ll give command for our Pokemon to do an all out frontal attack on their headquarters”, she said angrily.
“Oh sure you and what army”, he said sarcastically.
“Don’t worry about that but here’s some information for yah, it’ll be head by general McFist” she said as she shook her fist.
Immediately after she said this he got up and ran as fast as he could towards the front of the empty compartment he was in and jump-kicked the door but not a budge was given to the door.
“I give up”, he said in a hopeless tone.
“I don’t believe you just said that . . .”, she said with concern and anger in her voice, “you’re the one who never gives up in the worst of times, never gives in before or after a fight and always told me to keep trying till you get what you want . . . what happened to that Ash!”
“Things change Misty! Get with the program”, answered an angry Ash.
“There it is that helicopter over there it’s the one where the kid is beaconing”, said butch holding the handheld tracker as he sat and monitored the ops station.
“Alright so how should we take ‘em”, said Meowth to Kytty.
“Easy, because it’s one of those double engine ‘copters, a fly over side-to-side manoeuvre would be how we get above their ‘copter, then one of us will have to drop down onto the top between the 2 sets of blades and keep the place clear. 2 of us will grappling-hook to the front and the other 2 at the back near the storage compartment. That’s where our little twerps are being held”, said Kytty like she was a lieutenant in command of storm troops, “the 2 at the front will secure the cockpit and other essential controls up there, when all that’s over the one on the roof will make a long tram line going from their copter to ours so every one can make it back safe and easily but don’t forget we need tracers and things like that on their crew members”.
“Well then who’s going where and taking what”, said Jesse who was loading and preparing their equipment.
“Umi’ and I will secure the front cause that’s where the computer is and she’ll need protection”, said Kytty. Right after saying that Jesse gave them a rope with hook each, their hand stun-guns with 2 refills each, 2 tracers with temporary battery powered bugs in one each and 1 grappling hook each. Everything but the guns and the grappling hooks came in the bag that Kytty strapped around herself.
“I’ll take da roof”, said Meowth who was putting on a fingerless black glove over his left paw. Jessie threw him a bag filled with a super grappling hook and scope, a tracer and a small gas smoke bomb filled with a stun spore/sleep powder mixture Cassidy had stolen from Erica’s gym a year ago which they were able to duplicate and use for themselves.
“Well then we’ll take the rear said James looking at the ‘copter infront of them” Jessie handed him a pack filled with a quick K.O. smoke bomb and a metal cutter. Not in the bag she gave him a stun gun with 2 refills and a grappling hook gun. Keeping the same thing for herself, as she gave James, plus 6 suction cups she asked, “How far away are we from the other copter?”
Cassidy pointed to the proximity reading on her screen for Butch to see while she handled the other controls.
“1 km away and were gonna close in on them soon so I hope your ready . . . and take these”, he said as he threw them all headsets with mounted pen flashlights built in.
“What are dese for?” asked Meowth eyeing it like he had never seen one before.
“These are headsets allowing talk between 2 or more people on other headsets wirelessly”, says Butch while receiving a sarcastic, angry, annoyed look from Meowth, “I’m just kidding I’ll use it to keep you up dated on your time positions and the positions of enemies and to keep you posted on their other helicopters and forces positions because unless you guys can stop them from communicating in any way with their base then I’ll be your warning alarm. I’ll also keep you in formed on other messages k”.
“Gotcha . . . lets move in Cassidy”, said Umiko.
“Set up yet”, asked Butch.
“Yup, Testing”, Umiko.
“Testin’”, Kytty.
“Testing”, James.
“Testing”, Jessie.
“Testing”, Meowth.
“Testing all loud and clear . . . go”, confirmed Butch.
Cassidy pushed the Joystick down fast to its fullest extent and pushed the engine throttle to maximum. This created an acceleration at an amazing rate enough to confuse their enemies radar screen. Finally, as she got close to the other helicopter she slowed down as she flew on the right then flew on the left still de-accelerating. She matched speeds with the other ‘copter as she flew overhead slightly to the left of it. Butch slid the door open, “listen you guys you have to be in and out in under 5 minutes because if not their forces will get here before you leave and we don’t want that”. Meowth ran back to the other sliding door across from the open one, adjusted his pack and looked at his colleagues, “If I die, all my stuff goes to Umiko”.
“Meowth, I am your greatest companion, how could you shun me out like this”, complained James.
“Why thank you Meowth”, she said tauntingly and with a temptress voice trying to make James jealous. Meowth looked straight ahead, dashed as fast as he could and charged up energy for his agility move (although it could not have been seen). After jumping and approaching the small space between the 2 sets of helicopter blades he used his agility (which at his level would turn him black) to reassure himself that he would make it between the blades and between their cycles. As he landed he dug his feet claws hard into the metal of the helicopter stood on his hind legs and motioned for the others to get on with it.
Inside the room in front of the cargo room a quiet clunk is heard by a Dark Defier member in a room filled with his colleagues wearing swat suits. Immediately after that Umiko and Kytty aimed there grappling guns at the skis near the large cockpit.
“Let’s go”, said Umiko who was firing her hook. Then Kytty fired hers. As Kytty swang down her clothes (more like a 2 piece army suit) ruffled wildly; enough for anyone to see the hand gun tucked at the back of her pants. At the same time, Umiko looking more like an FBI agent (Windbreaker with tight shorts and a gun holsters on her right leg swung down. After swinging to a stop they had already climbed half way up their lines. When they reached the side of the cockpit where the door was Kytty pulled her gun out of her pant at the back and Umiko pulled one out of her gun holster on her right leg. Umiko climbed over Kytty to get closer to the windshield. Kytty placed herself under the port side helm’s window. Kytty nodded to Umiko as if she gave the signal to go. Well she did. Umiko ran across the windshield dodging bullets as she shot in through the windshield stun (rubber) impact bullets. After hitting the worker at the ops station and 3 out of the 9 other swat men in the back of the room who carried M-16s, she slid and landed on the foot ledge of the starboard side. She heard M-16 fire pass through the far back area of the hull side she was on and had watched the fire move closer in an attempt to wipe out the entire side. She spun over 2 and-a-half times to try and escape the gunfire. Then as she realised that she could roll no further, facing the hull she dropped down and grabbed onto the skis-with-wheels only with her hands and waited with the gun in her holder.
“Hey what’s going on in there”, asked a DD member knocking on the only door to the cockpit and waiting room.
“A girl is trying to take the ship but there’s only one and we think she’s been killed so one of us will go and open the door and check if she’s gone, dead or . . . yeah gone or dead” said a guy holding an M-16 speaking back into the waiting room. The guy who was closest to left side of the helicopter was walking over to where the door was shot.
“-Umiko are ya there!-”, whispered a terrified Kytty into her headset as she peaked around the side into the cockpit port window.
“Yeah I’m down hanging onto the other ski but”, she said surprisingly relaxed, “is anyone coming over to check yet?”.
“One guy approaching from your left should be there in about 3 secs”, answered Kytty.
The normal height man slid the door open, looked left, right, up, down and saw nothing because the skis were partially under the helicopter where he wouldn’t be able to see them.
“Kytty listen, I grab their eyes you take ‘em out from behind”, said Umiko while pulling out her gun, in slang, which meant that she would grab the attention of everyone else in the cockpit area.
“Right”, confirmed Kytty.
The man turned around, “No one’s there she was probably shot of the helicopter and--”, he said interrupted as 2 stun bullets hit him in the back. He fell straight to the floor completely unconscious. As they all locked and loaded their guns to go over and shoot the floor, Kytty jumped through the small window shooting the pilot once in the neck while doing a clockwise 180 midair roll and firing 3 bullets above the large metal railing, falling lower and firing 2 more landing in the helm area’s depression about one foot deep, hitting 2 people. Once landed a barrage of bullets fell in her general direction but not hitting her because of the raised floor infront of her towards the enemy. Umiko reloaded her gun and climbed up back to the wall and when she got there she rolled 410 degrees counter-clockwise in total to fire around the wall. After using a total of 4 shots to K.O. 2 guys only one guy was left. She jumped in while dogging the last mans gunshots and also landed in the depression then climbed into the metal chair that the ops manager used to sit in. The man finished his first rounds and began to reload. Kytty nodded at Umiko and Umiko got up to run to the rear door. Kytty reloaded her 6 shot stun gun and fired 3 1-second spaced shots towards the guy with the M-16. Umiko ran to the last guy who was shot buy the first of Kytty’s shots jumped and did a shadow kick [rotational body movement with a kick resembling a soccer kick stationary leg is bent (basically a rotating karate scissor kick)] right to the guy’s head knocking him unconscious. After landing she stood; back to the rear wall. The men in the other room slid open the door to Kytty’s side where Umiko was. Umiko seeing this as an opportunity slid the door back the way it came pulled out her rope and hook to tie the door shut very tight while using the door’s own lock. Kytty stood up and spoke, “We have the cockpit secure, but not for long so hurry”.
“Alright”, said Jessie as she and James wearing black jump suits, Jesse again wearing the same thing as Umiko, fired their grappling hooks at the rear skis that were closest to them. They swung down and climbed up to the hull wall of Ash and Misty’s so called prison. Pulling out their lazer blade metal sheers they cut a 5 foot tall oval in the wall and placed a suction cup on it.
Ash was already standing in the corner near the rutter room and Misty was at the side near the waiting room. They both knew there were people in both except the people in the waiting room were just shooting the jammed lock not realising that they had to shoot the handle to get into the cockpit. James entered with Jessie and told the kids to move towards them and to get in between Jessie and James. Suddenly 3 men burst out of the rutter room and fired their pistols. Luckily James held the oval like a shield to protect them as Jessie laid suction cups with handles up to Meowth. James fired back using 6 bullets and took out 1 guy because he kept hitting their bullet-proof vests but knocked them all down. After this he reloaded and saw that Ash and misty were already climbing towards Meowth so he threw his shield but first removed the suction cup. As the shield flew he thought as fast as he could. He pulled out a knsi knife and shot it at a valve in the rutter room. The valve blew blasting Ash and Misty’s belongings into the room he picked them up and ran towards the hole. The shield landed on both of the men that were down allowing time for James to escape. Outside he threw the last cup up to Jessie and she placed it so that everyone could make it to Meowth. Meowth had already screwed in the foundation for the powerful blast run grappling hook and was loading the opening. James barely made it to the top before the men in the “prison” compartment started firing. Meowth fired the hook to their team’s ‘copter and placed the tram on the line.
“It’s connected drop in altitude”, said Butch as he saw the hook impale lock into the on-board anchor block. First Misty slid down the line, then Ash, then Jessie. All through this time Meowth planted a tracer on the roof and set the self-destruct sequence for the grappling hook gun (1 minute).
Knick, Knick, Knick. BADABADABADABADABDA!!! That was heard coming from the waiting room as the men in there tried breaking the lock and shooting the door down. Seeing that the DD’s were getting a little more creative in trying to get into the cockpit Kytty fired her 3 remaining bullets at the door to add another problem to the list of problems the Dark Defier members had in trying to get in.
“Well have you got it yet”, asked Kytty.
“It’s almost done downloading”, she said wishing the helicopter would process faster, “C’mon, c’mon . . . done!”
Umiko looked back at the ropes while Kytty secured a line to the roof.
“C’mon hun’, ain’t no time left to ponder how much time we got left so let’s go!” said Kytty. Umiko jumped up, grabbed onto the ledge and was helped by Kytty in trying to get herself up faster than she would by herself. She laid down, turned around so her head would be near the broken windshield, grabbed onto the rope that Kytty set up and belayed horizontally because of the air resistance. Finally they slid back under the propellers not walked and reached middle space. Once Umiko reached the line she rode back to their ‘copter. Kytty did the same. James was about to go before Meowth when gunshots started firing through the roof. James slid back to the enemy’s copter reached into Meowth’s bag and pulled out the gas bomb and dropped it through the small grill vent. The ball bursted sending stun spore and sleep powder everywhere. One DD member jumped up onto the vent so James shot him in the chest with his stun-gun after reloading. After this he grabbed Meowth and road the line back to their helicopter. As they rode the line broke because the mounted gun lit itself on fire. Meowth climbed up to the helicopter quickly and seconds later James arrived. Ash and Misty were standing on the chairs near the left side of the copter. Jessie cut the line and Cassidy flew away as the door closed automatically.
Back on the other helicopter where the DD’s were, the second swat wave including 2 guys wearing pistols broke into the cockpit (the same time Umiko and Kytty belayed). They walked in slowly and they woke up the guy who was kicked and took the ops station’s and pilot’s seats.
“I didn’t think I’d ever say this again but thanks Team Rocket”, thanked Ash as he outstretched his hand to James. James shook it saying, “no problem”. In Misty’s mind it was weird to see Ash and James, 2 enemies since the beginning shaking hands and smiling. It was like getting in trouble was what brought them closer together.
“Hey girls and guy did you leave tracers”, asked Butch.
“I’ didn’t” said James and Kytty simultaneously.
“I left one on the guy I jump-kicked under the hood of the shirt he was wearing which was under the swat stuff”, answered Umiko.
“I left one on the true door for the right side and it was the invisible sticky type I had”, said Jessie.
“I left one on the helicopter’s roof”, said Meowth.
“Good their all on my screen.
Cassidy flew the helicopter towards the end of Viridian forest. Butch gave her some co-ordinates and they began to descend near a path. Cassidy held the helicopter 3 feet off the ground so that the twerps departure wouldn’t be too hard. Ash and Misty jumped out of the helicopter and turned to face it after.
“Hey, where’s our stuff”, asked Misty.
“Right here”, replied Kytty after getting them out of a container.
“Thanks”, said Misty and Ash as Kytty threw them out of the helicopter into their awaiting hands. Misty opened Togepi out of the grey pokeball it was in and Ash did the same with Pikachu. It was still covered with the rubber so Ash bent down close to the ground and ripped it open. Pikachu emerged unharmed only angry that it had been inside a pokeball. It jumped and ran all over Misty like a mouse would do then it jumped back onto Ash and into his bag.
“You guys be careful alright”, said Umiko.
“Alright”, said Ash, “Bye”.
The helicopter regained lift and flew away.

Ash knelt down and opened up his bag to see how Pikachu was doing. He expected a yellow mouse to jump out of the bag and lick him but instead he heard the snoring of a lazy mammal. He pulled Pikachu out of his bag.
“Pika, hey Pika you still tired”, he asked him as the mouse tried to wake up.
“PIkaA pikapika [I’m napping]”, said Pikachu.
“Fine”, Ash said as he put Pika back in the bag and zipped it up.
Ash got up and put his bag on and observed Misty looking around with her left hand above her eyes to block the sun. Ash looked around too and had an inquiring look on his face.
“Ash you know
how
“Yeah of course,” Ash replied. Misty didn’t look at him. She just kept observing the area.
“Then why is it that the largest green plant here is a small bush,” asked Misty.
“I think were on
“Yeah but Ash, Professor Oaks ranch is pretty big are you sure it wont take too long”, asked Misty.
“Nah Come on
it’s not that far”, Ash said as he started walking along the path. He glanced
at his watch and read the time quickly it was
* * *
Currently the
time was
“Ash let’s stop for a snack here, then we can continue”, said Misty as she sat down in a cross-legged position and started to get 2 sandwiches out of her bag. She gave Ash one of Brock’s club sandwiches and Ash sat down. After opening his sandwich out of the cellophane wrapping and taking a bite Pikachu was heard pushing on the zipper of Ash’s bag.
“PIka kachu chuchuchuchuchu [I want out …out out out out out]” complained Pikachu who was soon to zap his way out noticeable by the sound of his sparking cheeks.
“Ok Pika calm down”, he opened the bag and Pikachu jumped up 3 feet and landed beside the bag. Ash knew that the reason Pikachu got up was because of the smell of food.
“kaA PIka ka cha [Can I have some]”, he said happily. Ash looked at his sandwich then Pikachu… “Sure”, he said as he broke of a piece the size of 2 Pika paws.
“Chaaa”, he said happily as he ate some of Ash’s travel lunch. He munched away the food he was given in about 7 seconds with brakes in between to chew and swallow.15 minutes later Ash and Misty had finished there lunch and were packing up to go. Ash opened a small bag of pokemon chow inside his bag just in case Pika got hungry again.
“Well Pikachu I hope you can walk now because you just mooched more food of your trainer”, said Misty sarcastically.
“ChukachA PikAA kachu Pipipi”, he said in a come back tone.
“What did he just say?”, asked Misty to Ash.
“He said shouldn’t you be feeding Togepi”, answered Ash.
“Togepi! I forgot to leave her food at the side of my bag”, said Misty who frantically knelt down and opened her bag, opened up the container filled with Togepi’s food formula and placed 6 little pellets at the side of her bag where Togepi flowered and ate them. After closing her bag and container she stood up and they all continued to walk.
“Geese we’ve been walking for ten minutes and I’m already boiling here”, explained a tired Misty. Just then a fearow flew down from above and landed in front of them. A young trainer wearing black jeans and a blue T-shirt jumped off the fearow.
“You’re Ash Ketchum”, said the boy as he returned his Fearow.
“The one and only” said Ash.
“How about a Pokemon battle, I want to challenge you”, said the boy with fire in his eyes.
“Have you just begun your journey”, asked Misty. The boy grew a sweat drop and was sort of embarrassed that nobody was taking him seriously.
“Yes for your information lady I have. So far I’m just 1 hour into my training and I already caught a fearow using a bulbasaur”, said the boy looking proud of himself.
“You got some luck there huh”, said Ash smiling with only slits for eyes. The boy looked at Ash accusingly.
“What do you mean luck, that was pure skill, I was made for this”, said the young boy as he tossed a pokeball up and down (and giving Ash and Misty sweat drops and squinting eyes).
“Oh and how did you catch this Pokemon”, asked Ash looking at him directly in the eye.
“Well um . . . I saw it in a tall tree in its nest so I pulled out my bulbasaur and used vine-whip to hold it there. I knew it would soon break free so I thought I could weaken it too. At the same time I told bulbasaur to use razor leaf attack to hit it but because it’s aim was really off, well . . . it cut the branches which held the nest up so while being held and falling it couldn’t escape because the branches it hit on the way down weakened it. Then when it landed it didn’t even get up so I captured it. There were eggs there but I left them on a branch above ground … none where broken”, he said with his hands behind his back, head down, while making circles in the dirt with his foot.
“Like I said, luck”, commented Ash. The boy stopped what he was doing and went into a gunman’s stance.
“Anyways it doesn’t matter how I caught it! I challenge you to a battle, do you accept?”, said the boy with confidence in his 2 pokemon.
‘Well I haven’t battled in a while and it won’t look good if I don’t accept,’ thought Ash, “Fine I accept your challenge”.
“2 pokemon each no time limit last pokemon standing”, said the boy, “Since I challenged you I’ll go first”. He ran back a about 50 feet then through his ball and a bulbasaur materialized about ten feet away from him.
“Pikachu, I choose you”, said Ash as the Pikachu scampered out ten feet in front of Ash.
“A Pikachu . . . wouldn’t you have chosen a stronger Pokemon”, said the boy mockingly.
‘He obviously hasn’t seen Pika fight in the league’, Ash thought to himself.
“Bulbasaur, agility then move in for a tackle attack”, said the boy to the bulbasaur anxiously waiting for a command.
“Ash hurry up I
wanna get to your mom’s house before
“Fine”, said Ash, “Pikachu when it gets close, use your electric field, full charge”.
“
“Pika use thunder”, commanded Ash.
“CHUUUUUUUU”, yelled the Pikachu as it fired a surrounding blast of lightning which, blasted the leaves back, shocked them and fried them to an edible crisp.
“Use your vine whip”, said the boy as he sweated in the “tension” of the battle. The bulbasaur extended vines at amazing speed to Pikachu in an attempt to hit it hard.
“Pikachu jump and finish it”, said Ash as he put his hands in his pockets looking really bored although Pikachu was having fun because he was actually doing something with action. As the vines grew close within feet Pikachu jumped amazingly high for its size and gave the bulbasaur a huge thunderbolt. The bulbasaur stood there in its position all smoking, burnt, black and zapping in places then after 10 seconds the boy went to go and shake it but when he did it felt like a rock. He let go which made it topple onto its side. Still not moving, but alive.
“Well, won that round . . . next”, said Ash as the boy recalled his bulbasaur and pulled out his Fearow. He threw it on the ground back towards his side and walked towards the bird, which had just popped out of his pokeball.
“Do what ever you must to destroy that Pikachu”, said the boy softly to the Fearow beside him as he walked by it. The Fearow had an evil gleam in its eye and looked straight at Pikachu then ran and took off flying straight for Pikachu.
“chu kachu pika Pikachu ka [Good, this is what I’m talking about]”, said Pikachu as sparks flew from his cheeks. The Fearow flew above Pikachu at Mach 1 blowing sand at him. Pikachu just blocked his face he didn’t get too much sand. After flying by, the Fearow turned around and flew at Pikachu with the plan of hitting him with his beak. When Pikachu saw it approach he charged up an electricity field with as much power possible then jumped landed briefly on the Fearow’s back transferring all his electricity into the bird then flipped off and landed back towards the bird on his hind legs. Because of this attack the Fearow crashed down and was shocked also. After getting up it turned around and started to use it’s whirlwind attack on Pikachu. Pikachu was getting bored with this so he fired a long powerful thunder-shock, which fried the bird although it still was standing after that. Pikachu charged electricity in his tail and ran towards the fearow. Amazingly PIka seemed to disappear and reappear just in front of the birds face because of the speed that he achieved. Now in the air PIka did a counter clockwise 360, which flung his tail hard into the birds face knocking the bird 5 feet away to the left (according to Ash). The effects of the attack left the contacted area of its face burnt and its body electrified. The boy returned his Pokemon and walked up to Ash.
“Nice battle Mr., . . . that Pikachu is really well trained, strong, fast and smart, now I see why you won”, said the boy congratulating Ash.
“Pikachu to me – Thanks kid, I’m amazed you captured that fearow and already got it to obey you”, said Ash. Pikachu climbed up Ash to land in his schoolbag looking out at the boy then dozing off.
“Be careful on your journey”, added Misty, “Now lets go to Professor Oaks place”.
“Right”, said Ash as he adjusted his school bag. The boy ran Ash’s right through the field which would lead to the south Viridian forest then to Viridian city and finally to the Pokemon Centre.

Ash and Misty decided not to go all the way around Oak’s Ranch and place just to get into his lab. Ash jumped the fence and helped Misty land. After she climbed over they ran through the tauros range and tiptoed through the beedrill hives’ meadow. Finally they reached the lab. They walked into the lab/house via the porch door, which was unlocked. They looked around the living room and no one was there so they walked through the pokeball storage room to the living room, which had a single step going down. Still no one was there so they walked into the study room near the front door and there he was standing silently by a computer screen completely entranced in his work. Ash was about to say something when he was interrupted by a quiet whirring. He looked to the source of the sound (the centre of the room) and where the pokeball special chamber used to be was a cylindrical platform. It had a computer screen and a keyboard fit into it and a whole lot of other buttons. On the platform stood a charmeleon tail fire burning and all. It was surrounded by an indigo/violet haze in the shape of a cylinder matching the shape of the platform. Above this was another cylindrical platform originating from the ceiling. It seemed to have a cylindrical space inside it so that a ring could fit inside it.
The whirring got louder and a large ring being held by an arm lowered from the top rotating slowly. The ring had many little features that made it look more like a machine then a ring. As it reached the height of the charmeleon it fired a barrage of different scanning waves inwards. All around the ring a large receptor strip recorded which waves were reflected and how much, which were refracted and how much, which passed through and how much and which were changed including the degree of change and into what. Because the readings would vary for each part of the charmeleon’s body Oak would get a basic anatomy scan with extra details not picked up by conventional hospital scanners.
After the scanner reached the bottom it quickly rose to the top again.
“Ok Charmeleon, you can go now” said the professor who didn’t even bother to turn around. Charmeleon Jumped off the table and went through a little gate near the opposite wall to Ash to go outside and rejoin his colleagues. Samuel didn’t really pay any attention to why charmeleon didn’t go back through the living room, then porch door then of he porch outside.
“Hi Professor”, said Ash greeting his regional Pokemon information peer.
“Whoever you are get out of my room - - Oh hello Ash, Misty, I thought you were those evil masked men who came here days ago going through my computer, they looked like assassins or neo samurai to me, ah well, how are you Ash”, said Professor Oak much to Ash’s surprise.
“Wait you said assassins were in here days ago”, asked Ash longing for confirmation on what the Professor had just said.
“Yes 2 assassins or ninjas or neo samurai, completely dressed in black sneaked into my lab got onto the Pokemon League Special Members Network and hacked their way into your files, even though yours could have been accessed from a computer not on the network or at such a high rank. They probably went in to get information, which can’t be viewed at the trainer level: only league scientist or official league worker level. They also went into yours Misty”, said the Professor.
“Hmm, not good . . . which means that . . . Mom!” explained Ash in a there’s no time sort of voice as he ran out the front door. Pikachu jumped out of his bag and grabbed onto his shoulder. He jumped off the top step headfirst, fairly far and high. While he was falling (with style) he pulled out Pidgeot’s pokeball, spoke to himself mentally (‘I need speed this time not handling from Charizard so go Pidgeot’) and threw Pidgeot’s pokeball straight out infront just in time so he could land on the just materialized birds back and give it the fly command steering the bird up and away from the steps.
“Ash, Where are you going!?”, asked Misty who watched as the boy flew off towards his house.
“I’ll be back really soon I just have to see my Mother” he said.
Then
he pulled his head down and commanded Pidgeot to go to maximum speed. A sonic
boom was heard as the bird reached a final speed over 4064 km/h (Mach 4 [near
‘What a thrill. I should do this more often’

A young girl, probably 8 or 9 walked into the quiet residential streets with a basketball. She turned around to shoot some hoops. She wasn’t a great player as confirmed by her first shot that was far left of the rim and net. The girl looked right and saw 3 ravaged houses. The third house belonged to the town one hit wonder: Ash Satoshi Ketchum. With it’s odd numbered address on the other side of the street she looked closely at the windows that brought back terrible memories, of yesterday.
Ash was flying along the street back to his house at super sonic speeds of course when he saw a sad girl playing basketball. He then looked at his house and swore something to a Buddhist God concerning his mother’s state and the destruction of the Dark Defiers. As he flew past the girl her shot was pushed right and into the net by his aerial wake. To her he was a symbol of hope: something he would fulfil for the rest of his life.
Ash steered Pidgeot to the rear porch door of his house as they continued to de-accelerate. As they came to stop Pikachu jumped off Ash’s back to fall a few metres down to the ground and land on his feet. Ash waited until Pidgeot landed before jumping off. They walked in through the broken porch sliding door to find evidence of a struggle. It appeared that somebody was thrown into a table.
“Pikachu—”. Ash spoke as if Pikachu would have known what to do. Surprisingly Pikachu did. It crawled up to the broken table and sniffed around. Ash kept close pursuit and after arriving he knelt down as well.
“Who is it Pika?”, asked Ash. Pikachu only responded by sparking his cheeks a little. Ash’s expression changed to a frown from a concerned look. He looked around at the room while Pikachu sniffed the air. Suddenly, Pikachu’s ears perked up and the little yellow pokemon froze placing his hand on Ash’s leg to tell him to be quiet.
“-Are they still here Pika-” Ash whispered as quietly as Pika’s attentive little ears could hear. Pikachu sparked again. Ash stood up quietly. Pikachu could feel something start to grow stronger and madder inside of Ash enough that Pikachu looked at him as to wonder what got into him. It wasn’t long before Pikachu would figure out what was wrong with him. An unnatural breeze blew through the house. Pikachu thought that Ash was like a Pokemon about to teleport to the top floor so he stepped back. Ash then ran forward at and incredibly high speed. He jumped rotating his feet up 45 degrees then he ran on the wall for about a second until this led him onto the steps upstairs. Executed silently. When he reached the top of the steps a second had passed, amazing for any human. Pikachu from Ash’s point of view could be seen scampering the wall quickly a split second after he reached the top. Pikachu was still on the wall as Ash slowly walked along the wall of his room just in case anyone was there. He peeked around the corner and his room was completely trashed. He decided he would look for his mother first. Pikachu jumped of the wall to walk up to Ash and scope out the area. Ash looked at Pikachu and motioned for him to jump up on his shoulder. Pika scampered up his leg and reached his right shoulder while resting his tail on Ash’s left shoulder. Ash walked over to his mother’s door and looked inside. To his and Pikachu’s surprise there stood his mother looking down at the floor. She knew someone had walked back into her room and she wouldn’t acknowledge their presence.
She just kept her eyes down and adjusted her red fingerless gloves. Wearing a tank top and with training pants she placed her left foot forward on its toe and raised her arms in a tae kwon do stance.
“Your not going to do anymore damage then you have already done”
“Mom . . .” Ash said quietly. She looked up and her wet hair flung off a little water.
“My son . . . you came back”. She ran up and hugged Ash tightly never wanting to let go.
“I thought they were after you Ash . . . I thought I’d never see you again” she stammered. Ash tightened his hug on his mother after the thought about him dying leaving her all alone. He broke the hug.
“Are you okay mom? What happened to Mr. Mime?” he asked as he noticed how his mother looked a little buffer than before.
“Don’t worry about me Ash I’m fine. I’m sorry honey but I don’t know what happened to Mr. Mime. The last time I saw him he was pretending to sweep a pillow. He kept saying ‘Mimey Mimey’. I couldn’t understand him. I guess he noticed that and left for whatever he was trying to tell me”, she said as she looked over her growing boy. Ash tried to think what Mr. Mime was trying to say. He pictured him sweeping the pillow then it hit him. In his mind he could see himself lying down face up being swept in the morning by Mr. Mime. ‘Me’ he thought to himself for a second.
“Mr. Mime was looking for me. Now he’s somewhere out there by himself with no-one”, Ash said to his mother in a sad tone while looking at his mother.
“I should’ve been here”, Ash cursed as he whipped his head down. His mother looked up at him, put her hand under his chin and raised his head up.
“Ash it wasn’t your fault. There was nothing you could do. Keep your head up. We’ll find Mimey”. Silence fell on the room like a bed sheet fluttered onto a bed. The room was partially destroyed. Windows broken. Chairs smashed. It was like the aftermath of a war zone. Ash looked around a bit more and then looked at his mother again.
“C’mon mom, lets’ go downstairs”, suggested Ash as he turned to leave the room. Then the sound of footsteps on top of a roof caught Mrs. Ketchum and Pikachu’s attention. Mrs. Ketchum had frozen on the spot trying to hear if the person was approaching the window at the rear of the room behind her. She knew from her previous encounter with the mafia men or mobsters that they were after Ash and Misty. She tried to ask the new Jenny appointed to Pallet what the double ‘D’ on their suit jackets stood for but the precinct had no files or information matching the sign. She turned around and went back into the same stance as before except, this time, her head was up and she was feeling content. A ninja wearing the Dark Defiers’ symbol jumped in through the broken window to land quietly. The ninja was obviously a woman of Japanese heritage. She had a ninja’s veil like most of the previous ones but she was exceptionally shorter than the earlier ninjas Ash had encountered.
“Ash . . . Go. Take your girlfriend with you”, She said in desperation. Ash was looking at his mother with an ‘Are you crazy?’ expression on his face.
“No . . . No I can’t leave you Mom”
“Ash Go now I’ll be fine, hurry”
“But Mom it’s—”
“Just Go! Now!”. Ash looked at his mother long and hard. He couldn’t see her face but he knew she was serious. Ever cherishing the mental picture of his mother, he ran out of the room hoping that he would see his mother again perfectly fine and safe.
“Pikachu on foot”, he commanded. Pikachu jumped off him and ran beside him on all fours. Ash took off his school bag and threw it in front of him as he jumped down the 14-step staircase. Pikachu landed on the ground beside Ash and they both continued to run. As Ash opened the front door to his house and ran out. A large man in a black suit with the DD symbol made Ash collide with him and fall backwards. Pikachu began to charge up and electric attack.
The ninja’s stance resembled something out of a book of Ninjitsu. The ninja dropped her arms and tried to jump over Mrs. Ketchum.
“Where do you think your going?”, asked Mrs. Ketchum while jumping up to block the ninja’s path. The veiled woman created a few hand signs and pushed Mrs. Ketchum out the door to land on her back. The ninja ran by again but before she could clear Mrs. Ketchum, Delia grabbed the ninja in a desperate attempt to hold her back. After grabbing her leg Mrs. Ketchum twisted it causing great pain to the Dark Defiers special class trained ninja. Mrs. Ketchum pulled the ninja to the ground and held her there by the leg. Besides, the ninja wouldn’t be going anywhere with a dislocated leg anyways.
Pika fired his attack straight for the man’s head but he actually didn’t hit the man at all. Amazingly the man had tilted his head to the left just before Pikachu’s lightning would’ve hit. The man’s expression hadn’t changed at all from what it was before he moved: still cold and dead looking. It was powerful enough to send chills down Ash’s spine. The man reached forward and grabbed Ash by the hair attempting to drag Ash back to his car. Ash tried to hurt the man’s arm but the 6 foot tall mind over matter maniac didn’t feel a thing.
An angel then appeared in the middle of the road, at least to Ash that’s what it meant to him. In fact, Officer Jenny had rode up on her motorbike and stopped in the middle of the road she hopped off and drew her revolver. Taking quick aim while ducking behind her motorbike she shot 1 ever-transcending shot towards the man. Why transcending? Because what would happen next would put every witness within the area in shock. Immediately after Jenny fired a clump fell to the ground. To everybody at the moment except Ash, Pikachu and the strange large man, thought that that was an exceptionally amazing event. Ash had seen the man quickly pull out a gun and fire at the approaching bullet making both bullets fall to the ground as one large metal clump. So had Pikachu but it wasn’t such a big deal for the lightning fast Pokemon to see that. Still holding Ash the man moved to Officer Jenny so fast that it looked like he had teleported with Ash. As he arrived he shouldered Jenny and her motorbike into a lamppost across the street. Ash suddenly felt this strong force inside him explode. The man holding Ash seemed to sense this but it was too late. Ash had punched the man in the stomach sending him a few feet down the street sliding while burning his shoes. The man ripped off his shirt to reveal a strap with lights that wrapped around his body. It was smashed when Ash hit it. The man ripped it off and threw it away with the weird pokeball that was attached to it. Ash still filled with this odd rage just stood there looking at the man with disgust.
“That’s no way to treat a woman”, spoke Ash with a serious, dead tone. The man just looked at him also. ‘How could he have short circuited the power strip. It creates power from internal unbreakable ion collectors’. The man looked at his fist. ‘Then it is true’ he thought. The man looked up at Ash again and put an angry face on. He ran towards Ash while pulling back a fist.
“piKa PIKA!! [Ash Move]”, Pika yelled once the man came too close to Ash. The man flung his right hand forward and landed a direct hit with air. Ash spurted to his left just before the man made contact. The man tried to dragon kick Ash but again just missed Ash. To the man he was nowhere to be found. He heard the creaking of a door and turned around to see Ash holding up Officer Jenny while closing the door.
“Touché” spoke the man quietly to himself. – Pika, try again -. The man thought he heard this leave the house. Suddenly, a bolt electricity passed through the window and made direct contact with the man’s head blasting him across the street. The man got up and walked back over towards his jacket and shoes. He picked them up and shuffled them both into one hand. After doing this he took a little bit of Ash’s hair he collected and put it inside a large test tube.
“A4 abort we have the third objective”, the man said to his communicator mounted in his ear. Meanwhile inside the house Ash’s mom layed there on the ground paralysed. Still holding the ninja by her dislocated leg. The ninja then heard this and rolled a smoked bomb towards Mrs. Ketchum. Ash’s mother closed her eyes as smoke and stun spore was spewed everywhere. When it cleared she was holding a roll of Bounty Disposable cloths rolled in fabric from the ninja’s leg. The ninja had escaped.
The man stood outside the window and caught the ninja in his arms. They went into the street where a sports car drove up. They hopped in and drove off towards the harbour-front. Ash had collapsed a while ago after entering and telling Pikachu what to do. He quickly awoke and ran upstairs to find his mother who could barely move on the floor. Ash picked up his Mom, carried her over to her own bed and laid her down.
“I thought (cough) I told you to leave”, joked Ash’s mother in a scratchy sore voice. Ash picked up his mothers hand.
“I couldn’t leave you hear all alone Mom”, Ash said as he pulled the covers up on her bed. He got up and walked into the hallway then into the bathroom to get a wet cloth and a boll of warm water. He walked back over to his mother and put the cloth on her forehead.
“This will speed up the blood flow in the brain so that you can regain control of your body faster”, Ash said as he pulled up a chair.
“Ash, the reason I am telling you to go is because there is someone who I know needs your love and caring more than me”.
“Mom, above everyone everything else you come first”
“You don’t understand I can take care of myself now. I now you love me very much dear and I love you too but right now she is the one who you must show love to now. I know because I was young once and I felt as though love was always visual and had to be seen in order to be meaningful. I am sure she is just the same way.”
“I guess your right then. I was just afraid to leave you alone really”
“Thank you Ash”, acknowledged Delia to her son as she sat up, “ but I’m already recovering so don’t worry about me”. Ash got up and looked at his mother. ‘Where’s Mimey when you need it’, he thought. He walked out of his mother’s room and there was Pikachu. He bent down and woke up Pika. Pikachu popped up quickly and climbed up Ash’s back to perch himself on Ash’s shoulder. He began to walk towards their steps when . . .
Misty kneeled down on the comfortable floor pillow near the table inside the living room of her boyfriend’s Grand Uncle’s place. Professor Oak had just gotten off the video link connection with Professor Ivy via his computer. The professor walked into his living room and sat down across the table from Misty while picking up the tea and sipping it quietly. He looked up with the cup still at his mouth and saw Misty who was looking at the table and barely moved. He saw that she didn’t even notice that Kingler had brought in one of the Profs. pre-made cups of tea for her. He brought down his cup and continued to stare for lack of a better word.
“Please tell me, Little Miss, you aren’t worried about my Grand nephew are you”, He said with a notice me kind of tone. Misty didn’t even respond. She was still looking at the same spot on the table not moving.
“Little Miss”, he said making Misty look at him.
“You know Ash has been in far worse situations than this”, He said trying to cheer her up.
“I know but the thought of losing anyone who cares about you as much as you care about them is frightening. I’d feel like I would have lost part of myself if I lost him”. Professor Oak looked up at her quickly pausing from drinking his tea. He got up and finished of his tea. Then he picked up a notepad beside his tea plate and jotted something down.
“Well lets just go and see how much he cares for you”, he said as he ate her crumpets. Misty popped up as well.
“Sure I’d gladly go and see Ash and I know the fastest way”, She said as she picked up her bag and interrupted a laughing Togepi who was enjoying the little toy inside her home (Misty’s bag).
“Togepi, can you teleport us to Ash’s house”, she said picking up the de-evolved form of Chansey.
“Toge, Toge, Toge, Priiii”, was all she said in response.
“I don’t think she’s up to it right now. She’d rather be playing”, Misty said to Oak looking at her baby pokemon.
“It’s okay we’ll just take one of my grandson’s convertables. Besides it is just a baby Poke—” he said interrupted when he put his arm on Misty’s shoulder and Togepi began Metronome. A blue field surrounded them both as Togepi teleported them.
. . . a bright blue light began to emminate from his mother’s room. He ran back and saw Professor Oak, Misty and Togepi materializing with her bag in the room. After arriving Misty saw Ash and ran up to him for a hug. He returned the hug and looked at his mother who smiled.
“Delia, what happened to you?” Samuel Oak asked as he went to a chair beside the bed, sat down and picked up the hand on Mrs. Ketchum’s upright body.
“A masked woman came back and used stunspore on me basically. I’m fine Uncle”, she said to him trying to lay down again.
“Well, that should wear off in a few minutes thanks to this hot towel”, he said re-soaking it. Misty let go of Ash and Pikachu jumped on Misty again and ran all over her. He kept reacquainting himself with the redhead who kept disappearing. This time he rested on her shoulder and she scratched behind his ear.
“I’ve got to get to Officer Jenny and take her to the hospital”, Ash said as he looked at professor Oak.
“That won’t be necessary”, replied Jenny as she came up the stairs wrapping a bandage around her once bleeding right leg.
“Mrs. Ketchum that’s twice they’ve attacked your household now. We can give you a safe-house stay at the precinct for one night”, said Officer Jenny as she approached Mrs. Ketchum’s room.
“Thank you, Jenny”, replied Mrs Ketchum as she tried to stand up.
“Don’t rush it”, commanded the professor to his niece.
“Well then I guess we better pack up”, said Ash to everybody else.

Meowth crawled along the ceiling over Jessie and James to get to the pizza that the team had ordered. Jessie sat watching T.V. and James sat on another beanbag chair reading the paper. The pizza box was left closed on the table next to James.
“James, pass me a slice”, James put down the paper and pulled out a piece and placed it on a little paper plate. He stretched it over to her and she felt around for his hand in the air not moving her gaze from watching Cyber Six. Finally getting it she took a huge bite out of the pizza that had been opened for the first time. James returned to reading the paper. He was reading the part about the Toshiba/Motorola raid that had just occurred. ‘I’m sure that they are gonna hit Mitsubishi next. After that, if they have time, JVC’, he thought to himself. The pizza box was now wide open. Meowth stood down and lowered a clean tiny hook on a fishing line for the slice that was out of James line of sight. As the hook got closer James picked up a steak knife and began twirling it around, spinning it and using moves a samurai would with one hand. He then moved the knife close to a picture in the paper. He made a few swipes and the stabbed a perfect square on the picture of the trooper, pulled it out and sliced it into 4 pieces. Meowth thought that he had been caught for second. He continued to lower the hook. Finally he hooked the slice and began to hoist it back up. It was within inches of Meowth’s grasp when a knife flew by Meowth’s head. It implanted itself right beside Meowth’s ear.
“MEEOOWWTH!!”, he yelled in fright. After cooling down he was about to grab the Pizza when the hook and a little bit of line fell. James outstretched a plate so that the falling Pizza would be a zenith to the plate. The pizza landed perfectly.
“I believe this belongs to you Meowth”, he said as he removed the hook and threw it up. Meowth grabbed the hook and hissed.
“Next time put money into the pot when we order Meowth”, remarked Jessie. She walked over to the box removed a piece and held it straight up Meowth landed on her head and took the Pizza. They walked back over to where she sat and Meowth began to eat.
Knock, Knock, Knock. Jesse looked around. No one moved.
“I guess I got it”. Jessie reluctantly got up and walked towards the door. Meowth jumped off her head mid step and jumped back on the couch.
“Who is it”.
“Technician. Something is wrong with your phone its not responding as quickly as it should”, said the technician. Jessie looked through the door’s peephole and saw a man dressed as a technician but she also saw a hand at the sidewall that joins the rooms’ horizontal door depression. She new there was more than one person there and that they weren’t there to fix a phone. She snapped her fingers twice and swirled her index finger around twice to symbolize the verbal equivalent of scramble. James and Meowth got up and packed up all their belongings into 4 bags. They tied ropes to themselves and went into the washroom. There they busted open a window and tied their lines to the toilet.
“What was that”, asked the so-called technician.
“It was just my friend dropping a glass cup” she said to stall the men outside.
“No that was too loud”, replied man. She listened closely and heard something quiet about ‘I’m going in’ so she let go of the door. Seconds later, the door was blasted on top of her by a shoulder to the door. The ‘technician’ walked in and drew a gun to point at Jesse’s head. She kicked the door up and knocked the man back out the door and on his but. She got up and ran to wards the large full size window wall of that room.
“Catch me!!!” she yelled as she jumped through the glass of the window. James on the windowsill of the washroom window heard and saw Jessie so he followed her as she fell. He caught up to her and pulled her close to himself so that she could wrap her arms around him and so that he could wrap his arms around her. The rope came to a final position making the duo fling up a few feet then swing into a lower room. Meowth also jumped and arrived in the same place as Jessie and James. James got up and rubbed the glass out and off of his casual clothes (blue sweater and soft, blue training pants). Jesse did the same with her purple sleeveless shirt and her black training pants.
“Meowth our pizza”, noted James as he looked around for it.
“Yeah, yeah. I’ll get it”, he replied as he stood on the identical table that was in their own room. Meowth charged up a powerful Pay Day medallion and used its energy to cut out a hole through each floor until the Pizza fell down. James caught it when it came down. The hitmen still in there looked down the hole to see Jessie, James and Meowth all making faces at them. In return they got a bunch of middle fingers and 2 grenades. Once they saw the grendades bounce of the table and floor they quickly ran out the door and shut it behind them. Right there in the hallway were a security guard and a maid. The trio stood up against the closed door as James continued to count to ten.
“What are you doing”, asked the security guard.
“—Joy to the world—” whispered Jessie to the trio.
“What was that”, asked the security guard.
“9”, said James signalling they should all take deep breaths.
Of all the words to be spoken that loudly during the evening, it had to be joy.
Simultaneously, each and every mirror, picture and window on that floor had shattered, not to mention the glasses on the maid’s hand tray. The security guard and the maid stood amazed at the volume of the chorus.
“That’s some bass you got their young man. Hey, I know I’ve seen you before somewhere”, said the maid as she looked at each of their faces intensely. The trio knew it was time to go. Meowth jumped up and pulled the security guards hat so tightly over his face he could barely breath. Jessie tossed up all the maid’s plates of food straight up. By the time the maid had caught all of the plates and the guard had removed the hat from his face Team Rocket (they finally caught on) was gone without a trace. They slid down the railings of the emergency steps as the hit-men arrived on the floor via the elevator. Finally at the bottom, they ran to the door that led to the lobby.
‘Could it be any worse’, thought Jessie as she noticed the police men that were trying to assess a fender bender. As the sound of the bursting door reached the policemen who naturally turned their heads, the trio had already stuck to glue with the passing flow of people. As they continued with the group they saw 5 men pointing guns with silencers at the group of people from a ways ahead. Acting quickly they dashed to the side towards the policemen. When they arrived they spun the policemen around in the open lobby entrance as they jumped and bounced of their police cars to land in the middle of the street and hop into the car they stole the night before. James handed everybody in the car a slice of pizza.
“Just Another day in the life of Team Rocket” was their barely audible chorus as they sped away into the not so busy streets of Pallet.

Misty’s bed was hard. Ash’s bed was harder. The single mini bed was too small for both of them to endure. Misty claimed she needed her beauty sleep and that Ash should be a gentleman and let her have the bed.
‘“Beauty sleep?”’, Ash recalled the event from 5 minutes earlier he couldn’t stop laughing about, ‘“Hmm… You’re right, a little beauty sleep could do you some good.”’ Ash giggled as he looked away from Misty. She grunted slightly and Ash broke into a full roar of laughter for the third time that night.
Ash finally fell asleep leaving everyone else in the room with the peace they had been longing for. Silently, a butterfree flew over the precinct. Dropping low amounts of sleep powder the large insect pokemon looked at its master for the queue to stop. Each policeman on guard felt the irresistible urge to fall asleep except none of them would dare anger officer and chief Jenny Junsa. There were a few at the fact that had a little more courage and understood the effects of peer pressure. 2 of them that guarded one area lied down and fell asleep. The others followed suit thanks to the daring icebreakers. This rendered the precinct defenceless. Jenny still sitting at her desk and reading the daily Pokemon Islands News paper slowly blinked. The vent near her had its filter off. The henchman in the surrounding forest had no trouble getting in at all. Once the reached Ash’s, Misty’s, Samuel’s and Delia’s room they woke up Misty. Before she could even react she fell asleep again. Sleep serum had been injected via hypospray right to her jugular. The Dark Defiers made their escape just as easily as they entered.
Ash woke up first of course to the sight of an empty bed. Sighing to himself he quickly changed back into his clothes he wore yesterday and ran out of the room. He ran past a sleeping Jenny and didn’t even tell her what had happened. Ash’s displacement of the air made a cool short breeze hit Jenny waking her to up. So she looked down the hallway to see Ash bursting out the door. Then she saw Pikachu run out of the room onto the mono-tiled polished cement floor, jump of the floor onto the wall of the secretary/office desk space (where she sat) and jump of the wall where he finally caught a grip (as opposed to the cement floor) to the floor this time moving towards the doors.
“Boys” she said to herself as she got up and walked outside.
Even the bursting of the doors twice didn’t wake up the sleeping guards. Ash began to run when somebody spurted out of the trees in front of him and punched him hard and cleanly in the face to send him trippin’ in the air about 2 feet back to land on his back. When he looked up from the ground grabbing the side of his face in more surprise than pain he saw Jessie wearing a black uniform with white socks. The uniform looked just like her mother’s. DOMINO!! Stepped out from the shadows cast by the forest to stand right beside Jessie who had her arms crossed. Domino put her arm on her hip and neither of them looked up at Ash who just got up.
“This time we can’t have you messing up our plans”, said Jessie who finally looked up at Ash.
“But don’t worry we’ll get your little girlfriend back safe and sound”, said Domino who looked at Ash as she walked past. She was never as tall as Jessie and hadn’t even seemed to grow at all. She was probably an inch taller than Ash but that was it. As his eyes adjusted to the light of day outside he could make out the figures of Mondo in a tree still wearing white, James on the bottom of it wearing the black uniform, side by side Cassidy and Butch with the same uniforms as Jessie and James, then Buson with Basho both wearing GREY uniforms (look like the white ones but mean an even higher class than BLACK 2) and finally sitting on the front of the jet copter (featured in Mewtwo Strikes Back [Giovanni’s copter]) was Kytty and leaning on the copter was her partner Umiko (You may think these characters are my ANC’s but I actually based them on the 2 girls in the Desktop Backround image of Pokemon 2002 Latios and Latias where I think an Espeon and a Spinarak were their main pokemon[ search through www.pokemon2002.co.jp to find the background picture] The names were taken from the descriptions of girls that were on team rocket in DangerMouse’s {Great Immortal’s} A day in the life of team rocket, The one with the yellow princess Laya puffs is Kytty and the girl who in that pic died her hair light purple is Umiko, their uniforms there are the uniforms in this fic whenever I say they are wearing their normals).
Ash knew they meant business and they seemed so good now at getting the job done.
Domino crouched down and took a white swab to the windbreaker of a policeman. Jenny opened the door and once she saw the red ‘R’ on the side of the hat Domino wore, she drew her gun and held Domino at gunpoint.
“Freeze!”, exclaimed Jenny as she watched Domino get up.
“Purple” replied Domino not turning around.
“What”
“Sleep powder, a simple evasion technique”
“Be quiet and put you hands on your head”. Domino turned around.
“PuhLeeze Jen. You’re obviously out numbered here”. Domino took the gun from her with ease emptied out all the bullets and removed the one in the chamber handing her back the gun she walked back towards Jessie.
“Understand, Ash Ketchum?” asked Jessie who looked at Domino who was walking by her waving a test tube beside her head that was reacting to produce a purple liquid haze. After she walked past Jessie she turned to walk over to James and Mondo.
“Fine but nothing can happen to her at all, agreed?”, he said putting out his hand. If Jesse saw his hand, she didn’t acknowledge it. She had become a different person when she made the rank. James walked out a bit from the tree to greet Jessie and Domino. After arriving Domino waved slightly at Mondo in the tree and she smiled inwardly. Mondo smiled back and waved back as well. Jessie looked at James and he at Jessie both to wonder about the possibly ongoing relationship between Mondo and Domino. Butch was talking to Kytty and Umiko as Cassidy fired up the wind barrels (the two sets off propeller blades). Mondo jumped out of the tree and the group walked back to the helicopter.
As the helicopter took of a lot of the sleep powder on the men had been blown off. Ash still stood there with his hand outstretched as he watched the jet copter fly off. Jenny had already gone inside, retrieved sleep powder antidote spray and sprayed each officer in the face.
They slowly began to wake up.
“Well the kidnapped the young girl”, said Jenny aloud to all of the groggy officers. She looked around at each and every one of them. The men didn’t understand what was going on and they didn’t know why she was just standing there.
“Back to training sessions for all for now. Pack up” said Jenny as she walked right through the men back into the precinct. Groans and Moans emminated from the group as they all walked back inside to the section where their lockers were.
Ash walked back inside. He rounded the corner into his room and then returned with a toothbrush, toothpaste, a face cloth, a bath sponge and a towel. He wouldn’t leave the bathroom for another 20 minutes.

Thursday,
* * *
Domino was walking through a shopping mall wearing blue hip hugging jeans, a tight black T-shirt showing her mid-drift and a light summer over shirt. She stopped to look a beautiful dress in a glass encasement in the middle of the hall/court. She had stopped even before she came in line with the display. Oddly, she didn’t face the glass display but instead had turned a complete 90 degrees turning her head back in the opposite direction 45 degrees. She wished that she could buy that dress but with the salary she made; ‘No way’. She continued to stare at the dress ignoring all that went on around her.
Two hands began to curl around her waist from behind. She flinched slightly at the feel of the person’s hands his head was already creeping right beside the left of her head as he moved in. Domino turned her head back the other way to see who this was. She only had a split second before all her surroundings melted away to notice who it was. Finally, Domino was kissing the tall boy of her age who held the 2nd place record now for rising through the ranks of team rocket at a rate of 1 rank per 1.5 years (Domino held first place). Finally, she was kissing the boy she had a crush on since they were recruited. Finally she was kissing the one she could see spending the rest of her life with. She broke the kiss but didn’t move her lips or head to far away from his.
“What are you doing here”, she asked as she felt the synthetic fabric of his windbreaker warm up to her skin.
“I came to see you”, he said as he kissed her again. They broke another kiss and stood their together, heads only inches apart. Many people smiled as they walked by the couple. A photographer on the other side of the display case could see the couple perfectly through the glass. He took a snap shot of the couple as the people moved by them in the background. The picture was very unique because of the way the couple came out sharply in contrast to the moving blurry people behind them. The man worked for many companies. Today, Calvin Klein. Their peace was disturbed as the old man asked if he could use their picture in an ad that will appear in only 1 magazine. Of course it was only one magazine so it didn’t matter. Mondo signed the form and the man left for the exit. Mondo took some of the bags full of casual clothing she bought and put his right arm around her waist. The walked towards the exit that led to the parking lot where Mondo’s Yamaha was for Domino came by bus.
As they sped of, Mondo felt a helmet get heavier on his back. He tried his best not to wake up domino while they rode back to the H.Q.R.B. Mondo felt a new found meaning within himself towards the protection of the beautiful, delicate woman asleep on his back. He just feels more complete nowadays.

Author’s Note: I know I was way over my estimation for the completion of this part but you should note that I am very busy and that I also go to school 5 days a week like many of you. I do not always type whenever I have free time, which is one of the reasons why this took so long to put up. Also because I like to make my parts fairly large (20,25 pages) it again takes along time to write re-read and use spell check. Please be patient with me and my stories. I have a humungous grade 11 workload so please consider the above before reviewing. The truth is (with this curriculum) you can probably expect the next part 2 be done by the middle of January or beginning of February but not in between (exams).
I know this doesn’t seem to fit into PM yet but remember EARLY PREQUEL. By the beginning of chapter 5 you will see how this story fits into it. But for now I’ll give you this hint: Prophecy. I could give you a better one but that would give away my finale. Re read chapter 13 of PM and pay attention to which good character has stuff to do with the prophecy. That’s all I’ll say.
