Pokemon 4: The Cut Scene! By Mandy Owston A story based VERY loosely on the rumors I've heard about Pokemon the Movie 4 - namely, that Vicious the new TR member is really the son of Jessie and James - and how the characters might react to this interesting bit of news! (The twerps and Team Rocket have once again joined forces, when suddenly a new Team Rocket member appears from nowhere.) Vicious: Whoaaaa… this place sure don't look like home! Ash: Excuse me, whoever you are, but we're kinda in the middle of something important… Misty: So if you wouldn't mind, we'll talk to you later. Vicious: Excuuuuse me! Time was when Team Rocket members were respected and feared! Maybe I should provide a little… incentive for you to respect me. (Pulls out a giant weapon of sorts.) Brock: Wonder why Team Rocket finds US so interesting… Misty: We're just lucky, I guess. James: Wait a minute… you're a Team Rocket member too? Jessie: We don't need any help around here, so go back to wherever you came from, punk. Meowth: Dat's right! Clear out cause WE'RE da Rockets in charge here! Vicious: (looking quizzically at Jessie and James) You know, I had wondered about you two at first, but once I heard that Meowth talk, I was certain. Imagine running into you two here! Jessie: What do you mean? I've never seen you before in my life! James: You're talking nonsense! Meowth: Da kid's totally outta his mind! Vicious: (shaking his head) It's amazing how much you've changed in forty years… or will change. Jessie, James, and Meowth: HUH? Vicious: Don't you recognize me… Mom? Dad? Ash & Co.: WHAT??? Vicious: (walks over and puts his arms around J&J's shoulders) I can't believe you don't even recognize your own son. Meowth: (starts giggling) Hahahahaaaa! You're gonna have a kid someday? (winking) Dat must mean you two finally… Jessie and James: (blushing bright red, shoving their hands over his mouth) SHUT UP, MEOWTH! Ash: Huh? Would someone explain to me what Meowth's talking about? Misty: (with a HUGE sweatdrop) Uh… you'll find out when you're older… Brock: (with a sweatdrop only slightly smaller than Misty's) MUCH older! Vicious: Well, it's true… I can't believe you guys were once cool Rocket members. Back, er… forward in time when I knew ya, you were typical, mellow adults… except that you had a habit of breaking into song and poetry, and there was a talking Meowth around the house… Jessie: (in shock) Does that mean that someday… James: (also in shock) We're going to be BORING? Meowth: I can't imagine dat two people as weird as youse guys could EVER be boring! Jessie: (turns to Vicious) Tell me, kid… Vicious: Yes, Mom? Jessie: (making a face) Eww, not for awhile! Anyway, do we ever manage to capture Pikachu? Vicious: Pikachu? James: (pointing at Ash and Co.) Pikachu! Right over there! Vicious: Nah. Actually, that's part of the reason I'm here. Everyone: HUH? Vicious: Yeah, when you two guys retire from Team Rocket, I inherit your old mission… so let me be the first to say… YOU! (Points to Ash) Hand over that little rat right now! Ash: Do we have to go through this? Jessie: (to Vicious) Listen, kid, there's a reason we never… Vicious: Can it, Mom! I'm gonna be ten times the Rocket you two ever were. James: Don't you talk to your mother that way! (Everyone stares at him) Er, uh… never mind. Meowth: Just don't say we didn't warn ya… Vicious: I don't need your warnings! I'm ready for this! (Pulls a bazooka out of thin air) James: He must have inherited that talent from you, Jess. Vicious: And now to nab that Pikachu. Eeeeheeheehee! (Does a James giggle) Jessie: Wonder where he gets THAT from… Ash: Almost hate to do this… Vicious: You're done, Pikachu! (Readies the bazooka) Ash: Pikachu, Thunder attack! Pikachu: Pi… ka… CHUUUUUU!!! (Lights up the sky with lightning) Vicious: (totally zapped) WAAAAAAAA! (His bazooka explodes in his face, and he flies off into the sky) Mom, Dad, I think you had a saying for this part… I'm blasting off againnnnnnnn!!!! (Star twinkles) (Jessie and James sweatdrop) Meowth: You t'ink DIS will make it into the final cut of da movie? Everyone else: LET'S HOPE NOT!
