Flinky: Hello World! It's Flinky. Sorry about not continuing on with a story about X (look at my first story if your confused) but this seemed like a better idea.

X: I'm hurt

Flinky: Whatever. The story is now about Red!

Red: Who am I?

Flinky: All will be explained in this chapter. Enjoy!

Update Notes:

Flinky: Hello. I was re-reading the early chapters, and noticed how bad they were. So I'm writing them. The plot is the same, just more things explained and plot holes patched up.

"To protect the world from devastation. To unite all people within our nation. To denounce the beauties of truth and love. To extend our reach to the stars above. Team Rocket defending Earth at the speed of light."

"Good job class. Now, let us give a moment of silence to our lord, Giovanni."

No one talked for a while.

"Alright. We may now start history class. Mr. Red Ketchum, please wake up."

Everyone looked at me. It took me a couple seconds before I registered what my teacher said.

"I'm up."

"Now, recite the motto for disrespect."

"I'm sorry that I disrespected myself, my country, and my Lord, Giovanni," I said, boringly. I think this is the 20th time I've said that... today.

"Good. Now, please open your textbooks to page 117. The notorious villain Red..."

I stopped paying attention. It's not like there is anybody who doesn't know about Red. I don't know why I was named after him.

I looked at my classmates. For some reason, they could actually withstand this. Although I do have ADD, so it's probably me.

"Alright class. We will now have a pop quiz to make sure everyone was listening."

Everyone knew that I'm the reason. Since I don't care, I just decided to fail with style.

Question 1: Who was the first person to try to take down Team Rocket? A, Red; B, Blue; C, Ash; or D, Leaf. I wrote down "E, Morals," and circled it.

Question 2: Who ran the Viridian Gym? I wrote "Cyrus." References like that really piss off the teacher.

Question 3: When did Team Rocket liberate Kanto? My answer was "Never. They took over Kanto in 1999." I forgot the date, so I just put the first thing that came to my mind.

I turned it in and left school. I passed two "guards," which are really just grunts. Being a grunt has its perks. You can own a Pokémon and beat innocent people on the streets for money and get away with it. Thankfully, these two didn't do that, but some do. As I passed them, I pick-pocketed one of them. This guy had... a luxury ball. That's actually not that bad.

After the walk home, I saw my parents were mad at me.

"We just got a call from your teacher and you completely disrespected this nation. You must be punished."

My mom took out the beating stick. Normally, I'd bend down and get smacked repeatedly, but I was tired today. I bent down like I was following orders, then grabbed the stick and broke it in two.

My mom was shocked, and then moved to furious. My dad just stood out to the side.

"HOW DARE YOU DO THAT? IT IS ILLEGAL!"

"What are you going to do now? Yell at me? I'm so scared."

"YOUR CAREER WILL BE DECIDED SOON AND IF YOU KEEP UP THIS BEHAVIOR THAN YOU MAY GO INTO THE WORKERS OR MAYBE THE LAB RATTATAS."

I was slightly afraid of that. When someone turns 15, they get a career given to them. I can't get out of it, and most disobedient children will go into the fields or just disappear.

"Well, I can always just join a resistance," I said, jokingly.

"IF YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT I WILL BREAK EVERY BONE IN YOUR BODY!"

"Relax, it was just a joke."

"You should never joke about being an anarchist."

I ran away before my mother could say anything and jumped in bed. To prevent people from running away in the middle of the night, the doors lock. Also, to make it easier to sleep, it's soundproof. Makes it easy to escape my mom's wrath.

I had some thinking to do. Tomorrow, I would be 15 and given a job. Given how I have been doing in school, I would be lucky to live in a home.

For now, I just had to sleep and wait for tomorrow to come.

I heard something. "Red...I...need...you..."

"Who are you?" I yelled

"Help..."

I woke up. That was a strange dream. No matter, it was time for the big day. My parents escorted me to The Facility.

Everyone calls it The Facility because no one knows what's inside of it. Once you go through, you never see your friends again and you go into work.

I don't know what will happen when I go inside, but it was sure to be interesting.

My parents had to wait outside. I was about to start one of the worst moments of my life. I slowly walked into The Facility.

A voice came through the speaker system. "Red. You are about to enter a series of tests to determine the best position for you. Your first test checks ability. You must leave this room as soon as you can. If you do nothing, the doors will close in. Go!"

I examined the room. There was a door that was touching the ceiling. There were small slots, too small for my hands or toes. Also, the tiles in the room were loose. I figured out what I was supposed to do, but instead, I'm going to do something different.

I lied down on the floor.

"Red, the walls are closing in. When you go back to productive work, they will stop."

The announcer was right, as the walls did move. I waited for 30 seconds, and the walls were far enough away to give me space to stand but close enough so I can touch them at the same time. I put my legs in both walls and pushed up with my hands. It wasn't easy but I did manage to reach the door without using any tiles.

"Red, although it is not how you were supposed to solve it, you did do it in record time."

There were several more challenges, all of which I completed differently than I'm supposed to. It took a while, but I was on the last task.

"Now, your final challenge is to defeat this Pokémon. The Pokémon you fight is based on how fast you completed the other parts of the course. You will have fun."

A cage dropped down. Inside was a Charmander. It made sense, since an average human can barely take on any Pokémon, so they probably use Magikarps or Caterpies for this part.

The cage door opened and he immediately started with a Ember. I took out my secret weapon.

I took out the Luxury Ball I stole from the grunt a little while ago. I knew I would have to fight a Pokémon, so this way, I can capture it.

I couldn't let the camera see it, so when Charmander got close, I showed it to him. He looked at me like I just made his day, and then tapped the button himself.

I made sure that the camera didn't see, and then hid the Pokéball in my pocket.

"Red, I do not know how you made it disappear, but that was the fastest anyone's ever completed the course. Please step in the next room to be given your job."

It was time that I died. Given how much of a smart ass I am, there is a good chance that I will become a worker.

When I entered the next room, Giovanni himself greeted me.

"You must be the Red I've heard so much about. I have watched your tests, and I must say congratulations for setting the record time. It was brilliant using the Luxury Ball you stole to convince that Charmander to join you."

I looked around and there was nobody in the room.

"How did you know and what are you going to make me do with him?" I asked.

"Oh, I have my ways. And about the Charmander, don't worry; I'm not going to make you get rid of it. In fact, I want you to keep it for your new job: Rocket Admin."

"WAIT, WHAT?"

"You can think outside of the box, and I like that. You seem like the perfect candidate to be the next admin. Now, come with me. We will be taking a plane to your new home. I am certain you will enjoy it."

This was one hell of a day. I'm not too sure I want to be an Admin though. When I grew up, I hated them. They drove me insane. Now though, I actually get the chance to get the second-highest rank, right behind Giovanni.

As the plane landed, I saw my new house. It was huge! I could get used to this.

"Now, you will want to train your Charmander. I make this promise to all of my Admins: if they can beat me in a battle, they can rule Team Rocket for a month. Now, have fun."

I stepped out of the helicopter onto my mansion. I had some thinking to do. On one hand, I have everything I ever wanted. On the other hand, I hate this country. I don't know what to do.

"Go, Charmander!" I said.

"Charmander char!" he said.

"So, I don't think we've properly met. I'm Red. Nice to meet you. Anyways, like the idea of giving Pokémon nicknames. How about Ignite?"

Charmander nodded.

"Alright. From here on out, you are known as Ignite! We're going to have a lot of fun together."

Flinky: First chapter down! dunno how manny more yet.

Red: Thanks a lot. You made me some sarcastic rebellious teenager.

X: You used almost the same personality as me.

Flinky: Sarcasm can make the story better.

X: Not an excuse.

Flinky: This isn't your story. Why should you be lecturing me?

X: ...
