~PROLOGUE~

The overhead lights flickered and buzzed inside the dark, dusty, crammed room. It was filthy, with old food wrappers and paper strewn across the desks lined against the wall. The sound of the rattling cages mixed with the angry screeches of the trapped pokemon inside, desperate to escape to freedom.

A massive, muscular man sat comfortably in a desk chair across the room. Dull, glazed eyes raked over the many glowing computer screens along the wall, searching...searching…

His face contorted in anger, letting out a furious yell before smashing his fist into the desk. The many caged pokemon along the wall screeched along with him, banging louder on their cages.

"Ah, shaddap!" the man snarled, throwing and empty to-go cup in their direction. This only seemed to infuriate the pokemon further.

"Whats the matter, Jase?" a tall, thinner man walked in, much smaller than the other so-called, Jase.

"Bah, I haven't found any winners in this contest. None, not a single one is good enough for the boss."

"The Johto leage huh?" the lanky man replied, squinting at the screens through his glasses, "So Giovanni assigned you to look for potential pokemon in these contests?"

"Course' Stephan!" the man grunted, "That's our job, undercover special retrievers for Team Rocket. Best job in the world." he stated sarcastically.

"Don't be so negative, I think it's pretty fun." Stephan chuckled, "After all, we get paid more than all those other Team Rocket buffoons."

"Like Jessie and James, those sad excuses of team members." Jase crowed, breaking into laughter, "They've been after the same pokemon for so long, and still haven't caught it."

Stephan joined in, howling with laughter, "Yes, yes! What was that Pokemon they are so keen to catch. A Pikachu, was it?~" His laughter came to a sputtering stop, his eyes widening as he pointed to one of the screens, "A Pikachu!"

Jase's eyes raked across the screen, landing on the one with a certain Pikachu on it. He watched as it ducked into the grass, using the Kecleon's extreme speed and agility against it. Just as he was about to brush it off, his eyes widened considerably as he watched the Pikachu on screen release the most powerful thunderbolt he had seen come from an electric rodent such as Pikachu.

The Kecleon spazamed on screen before fainting, signaling the battle was over.

"The power..." Jase sputtered, "That is exactly what the boss is looking for."

"And its brains! It's definitely a smart pokemon who knows what it doing- And look! Look at how it obeys its trainer so well! So in sync with him!" Stephan pointed to the outline of a boy with jet black hair, wearing a familiar hat.

The cogs clicked in his mind, "Hey! T-That's that Pikachu those dopes Jessie and James are after! Look! I remember them blabbering on about the 'twerp' and his little buddies that so fiercely protected that Pikachu! They described what he looks like! That's gotta be him!"

"You mean that 10 year old boy!? He's just a kid! Easy to swipe from..." Jase grunted, a cruel smile spreading on his face.

Jase suddenly whipped around, "Stephan!" he barked, "Where are Jessie and James hunting down that Pikachu right now? Any word from them?"

"Well, according to their reports to the boss, they are in the Hoenn region right now. But-"

"Perfect! We can get there by noon tomorrow. Stephan, get the hunting gear ready."

Stephan nodded, jogging out of the room.

As he left, Jase swiveled around to face the screen, pressing the rewind button multiple times in a row to watch the power of Pikachu's thunder over and over again.

"Yes...Pikachu..."

The pokemon in their cages screeched deafeningly, rattling this way and that in disapproval. A Cubone smacked his bone club angrily to and fro in one cage, a group of Zigzagoon slamming fruitlessly against the metal bars of their cage.

"SHADDAP I SAID!" Jase roared, whipping around. The pokemon's angry roaring and screeching growing louder and more deafening.

200 miles away, a boy named Ash Ketchum woke with a start.
