THE END OF TEAM ROCKET

summary -- "Just how far will Giovanni go to get
Pikachu?
Part 1
Meowth was dozing in the shade near the Team
Rocket balloon when he heard the beeper on their phone
go off. The cat Pokemon quickly jumped into the
balloon and switched on the phone. Their boss's face
appeared on the screen.
"Meowth! Where are those incompetent fools you
call partners?" he asked.
"Well, we were kinda on our lunch break--" Meowth
began. "I'll get 'em, Boss!" he added hastily, seeing
the look of anger on the man's face. Meowth jumped
out of the balloon and ran to where Jessie and James
were sunbathing.
"Jess! James!" Meowth called. "Da boss wants
ya'!"
"What did we do this time?" James asked as he
pulled on his Team Rocket uniform over his swim
trunks. Jessie quickly dressed and they hurried back
to the balloon.
"You fools! All you do is waste my time!"
Giovanni growled. "Why haven't you captured that
Pikachu for me?"
"Um? The twerps are smarter?" James asked.
"Sir? What can we do for you?" Jessie asked,
giving James a whack with her fan.
"Since you are too incompetent to capture that
Pikachu, I'll have to do it myself," Giovanni said.
"Where are those kids?"
"Headed for Cerulean City," James said. "I heard
them say something about spending a few days at the
gym there."
"Let me know when they get near Cerulean City,"
Giovanni said. The screen went blank.
"We're really in trouble now," James said. "I'll
bet the boss fires us after he gets that Pikachu."
"If he fires ya' I'm going with ya'," Meowth
said. "You guys are my friends."
"Thanks, Meowth," Jessie said, giving the cat a
quick pet. "You're our friend too."
"Come on, Jess, we'd better start watching for
those twerps," James said. He and Jessie left Meowth
at the balloon.
A few hours later Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu
walked by on their way to Cerulean City.
"There they are," James said. "Let's go tell the
boss."
Ash, Misty, and Brock were still about ten miles
out of Cerulean City when the two familiar Team Rocket
members stepped onto the road in front of them.
"Prepare for trouble!" Jessie called out.
"Make it double," James added.
"To protect the world from devastation. . ."
"To unite all peoples within our nation. . ."
"To denounce the evils of truth and love. . ."
"To extend our reach to th e stars above. . ."
"Jessie!" She struck a model's pose.
"James!" James held up his rose.
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light,"
Jessie added.
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!" James
finished.
"Meowth that's right!" called Meowth as it jumped
in front of Jessie and James. "And you guys are
really in trouble now!"
"Better give us that Pikachu," James said.
"Never!" Ash cried.
"Pika pika!" Pikachu agreed with Ash.
They all looked up at the sound of a helicopter.
It landed just behind Jessie, James, and Meowth. A
man in a red suit got out. He walked over to stand
between Jessie and James.
"I have come for your Pikachu," he said to Ash.
"No! Pikachu is mine!" Ash cried defiantly.
"Capture your own!"
"I never capture Pokemon," Giovanni said. "I
leave that to others. I will get Pikachu, no matter
what it takes." He pulled a gun from his pocket,
pointing it at Ash.
"Pikapi! Pikapi!" Pikachu cried, clearly
terrorized at the sight of the gun.
"Well, Pikachu?" Giovanni asked. "Are you coming
with me?" When Pikachu didn't respond Giovanni fired.
"No!" Ash cried, watching in horror as Giovanni
pulled the trigger. The pain was immediate and
excruciating. Ash screamed in agony, falling to his
knees as he pressed his hands against the wound in his
stomach.
"Well, Pikachu?" Giovanni asked, aiming the gun
at Misty.
"No!" Brock yelled as Giovanni fired. Brock
jumped in front of Misty, crying out in pain as the
bullet hit his shoulder. As he fell to the ground
Brock managed to get two of his Pokeballs out. "Onix!
Vulpix! Go!" Brock called as the Pokemon appeared.
"Onix, deflect the bullets! Vulpix, Flamethrower!
Pikachu, help us! Use your Thundershock!" Giovanni
fired several more times, but the bullets bounced off
Onix's stone body. Pikachu snapped out of its terror
and ran to help Vulpix. The combination of
Flamethrower and Thundershock was enough to knock
Giovanni unconscious. Several men got him into the
helicopter and took off.
"We'll get you next time!" Meowth called as Team
Rocket ran into the bushes. A few minutes later their
balloon floated away.
