Team Anti-Rocket
Chapter 1
Disclaimer: If I owned the Pokémon characters, this would be a movie, not a fanfic. So, although I wish they were mine, they aren't and I don't claim them to be. I made up the names of James parents and Jessy's dad, and I made up the last and middle names of the characters, so don't use them without my permission. Make up your own names. Jade Rocket is a character all of my own, so the name and person of her is mine, my own, my precious. Use it and DIE for plagiarism.
So there ::sticks tounge out::
Summary: This fanfic came to me in a dream. I actually did dream it. I had to change it around, though, because the dream got weird. But, hey, that's okay. It should still be good anyway. When Jessy and James meet someone Giovanni sent to them to try and "shape them up", they finally capture Pikachu! But who know how long that will last? Only time, and this fanfic =, will tell!
Reviews would be loved, swooned over, and all around appreciated. But, don't expect a response from me unless you send it to my email address, that being NairaMornie@aol.com
N. E. Wayz, thank you for taking some of your valuable to read this fanfic. And, now without further ado, I give you
Team Anti Rocket (echo: Rocket, Rocket, Rocket, Rocket)
Read on, TR Fans!!!!

Knock, knock, and knock.
The sound on the cabin door startled its inhabitants. Who would ever want to see them? The girl, with long, catsup-red hair that defied gravity, stood up and slowly walked to the door. As if expecting some unknown danger, her partner, a boy with short cyan hair of which two strands sat neatly in front of his face, raced to her side. After nodding to one another, the girl opened the door. Out side stood a girl much younger then the boy and girl with short purple hair much like the boys'.
"You must be Jessy and James," she concluded, looking between the faces of the boy and girl for a moment. Then she continued. "In case you wondering, the Boss sent me to help you two with your assignment. Wow," she added, looking around the room, "this is a nice place you've got here." She pushed her way between the girl, who was Jessy, and the boy, who was James, and began to walk around the cabin, until she spotted a small cat-Pokémon sleeping soundly on the couch. "Oh, my gosh! How cute!" She picked up the cat and cuddled it in her arms.
"Um," Jessy said, speaking for the first time since this stranger had appeared. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. He gets kind of..." But her voice was cut off by the sound of loud purring.
"That's the first time in a long time I've heard him purr," James said, choosing his words carefully.
"That's the first time I've ever heard that mangy beast purr," his partner stated less cautiously. Her words were answered by a couple quick slashes in the face from Meowth.
"At least dis goil knows how ta treat a cat!"
"My face! My beautiful face!" And she ran off to the bathroom to look in the mirror at her "ruined perfection".
James sighed and said, "So, who exactly are you, you, Meowth charming girl you?" He was smiling, though.
"Oh, my name is Jade Rocket," she informed him. "And you, my friend are James Roberto Rosh`e, (James for short) and you lived with those very rich, very stuck-up parents of yours, Roberto and Rosa Rosh`e. Not even the Boss Rocket, Giovanni knows your middle name. You were betrothed to someone named Jessibell, who was always trying to change you to be the way she wanted you to be, and she is the one who eventually pushed you to run away from home. You then attended Pokémon Tech, where you met your partner, and soon flunked out of the whole school. Then, you joined a Bicycle Gang, where you stayed with your partner for a while before leaving to join the illustrious Team Rocket, where you are today. Your top assignment is trying to steal a Pikachu from a ten-year-old boy and his friends. Your partner and best friend is Jessica Frances Rochester (Jessy for short), and she lived with her mother and father, Myamoto and Richard Rochester, who were both also on Team Rocket. They died on a mission to the Unknown Dungeon when Jessy was only four-years-old."
"Wow, how did you know all that?" Jessy asked. She had just come out of the bathroom and had been listening as the newcomer had described their whole lives.
"I have my ways." The youth smiled mysteriously. "Anyway, I think I know how we can get that Pikachu from that twerpy kid, Ash Ketchum." Her, Jessy, James, and Meowth gathered in a huddle as the stranger began to whisper her plan.....
@------------}---------------}--------------------}---------------------------------------------
"I'm tired," Ash Ketchum complained.
"I'm hungry," Misty Cerulean said.
"I'm hot, tired and hungry," Brock Pewter put in. The others looked at him thoughtfully.
"Me, too," they agreed.
"Pikachu," the small mouse Pokémon on Ash's shoulder said in agreement. They were walking down a dirt road in the middle of the forest, and it was so hot that even the shade of the trees couldn't protect them. In the road ahead, an old looking couple had appeared.
"Ya poor young 'uns," the old man said sadly. "It be far to hot for ya's to be out side today."
"You must come to our cabin," the old lady insisted. "It be much cooler in there. And, you can all have some ice cold lemonade."
Ash and his friends, despite of the heat, jumped for joy, feeling as if they were in a dream. Then, the followed the couple into the cabin.
"When eve's we see some poor hot young 'uns like you, we just cannot help but give 'em a rest, you see," the old lady explained.
They were all sitting in the nice cool cabin, and the three friends were gulping down glass after glass of refreshing lemonade.
"It be far, far to hot en these 'ere woods," said the old man, who was petting a purring Meowth in his lap. "These 'ere trees ain't not doin' their duty of keepin' ya cool."
The trio nodded.
"Well now, you bin travelin' quite some bit, now, 'avent ya?" the old lady asked. "You must be quite some sleepy. You must now rest and stay the night. Then the mornin' ya can continue ya journey. They say there be a Pokémon gym not too far from 'ere. You might wanna' go to it at the mornin'."
So, Ash, Misty and Brock all got into three of the beds in the fairly large cabin and fell quickly asleep.
@------------}---------------}--------------------}---------------------------------------------
Meanwhile....
The old couple, which was, of course Jessy and James, talked quietly amongst each other while the Twerps, as they called them, slept soundly.
"Now," Jessy said, talking in her normal voice, "we have to drug Pikachu so that he will look to tired to battle tomorrow."
James smiled earnestly. "We be so close to finally captruin' that pesky Pikachu that I be feelin' the victory in me soul," he said, speaking in his "old man voice."
Jessy sweatdroped. "You don't have to still use that ridiculous voice, James," she informed him as she injected the sleepiness drugs into Pikachu, who was already asleep.
"But, Jessy, it be so much fun ta talk like this way. I be so glad we decided to do this plan, yes sir. I...." But James never got to finish his sentence, because a mallet came flying at him smacking him right in the head.
"James, don't be so annoying." Jessy demanded disgustedly. "Now, I'm done with Pikachu, so it's time for us to go to sleep."
There was only one bed left in the cabin.
"You take it, Jessy," James offered shyly. "After all, how can you get your beauty sleep on the floor?" He smiled.
"Thank you, James." His partner smiled back at him.
So James got in a sleeping bag on the floor and Jessy got into bed and drifted off to sleep.......
@------------}---------------}--------------------}---------------------------------------------
Ash and his friends woke up the next morning feeling revitalized and ready to start the day.
"Well, come on, Pikachu," Ash said. "Lets go find that Pokémon Gym." But Pikachu was still sound asleep. "Pikachu? Wake up!"
"Me thinks you're there Pikachu be still so worn out from the yesterday's journey. Perhaps you go to the gym and come back after ya get you're there badge? We take care o' the little tyke till ya get back." Jessy, the old lady, smiled in a reassuring way.
"Um, okay," the young Pokémon trainer said slowly. "Bye, Pikachu. We'll be back soon."
Then the three left.
Jessy, James, and Meowth laughed evilly as Ash and Co. disappeared into the woods.
"Now," the cat Pokémon began. "For phase two."
Knock, Knock, Knock.
James opened the door knowingly. As he suspected, Jade Rocket was standing there.
"How goes the plan?" she asked, smiling.
"Perrrrrrrrfectly," Meowth replied.
"Here. Take this." Jessy handed the sleeping Pikachu to Jade who took it thoughtfully.
"I can just feel the victory! And it feels great." James began to dance around the room. The young Rocket laughed at his happiness. Then, she left, carrying Pikachu softly in her arms.
@------------}---------------}--------------------}---------------------------------------------
Ash skipped merrily back to the old peoples' cabin. He had won his badge, and was ready to get his Pikachu back. He hoped he had recovered and would be waiting expectantly. But when he got to the cabin...
"What to you mean, Pikachu ran away?!?" Ash was near tears. "He would never..."
"Calm down, there, young 'un. That there Pokémon o' yours loves you more then the world. Me usta be's a Pokémon trainer, too. And me thinks that you're Pikachu went off to find ya's. Ya mustn't worry yourself like that. He'll find ya eventually, and until then, you're gonna hafta deal with it." James smiled in his most sympathetic way.
"Yes, young 'un," Jessy agreed. "You're there Pikachu is a smart little 'un. He'll find ya. Don't ya be worryin' yourself. He'll be back."
"I suppose your right," Ash lamented. "But, it's my fault. I should've brought him with me. Oh, Pikachu. Wherever you are, I hope you know how much I love you."
Jessy and James looked at each other. They were beginning to feel sorry for Ash. They wouldn't like loosing their best friend. But, they were so close. They had to see this through.
"Well, we might as well go now," Brock said, eyeing Ash worriedly.
"Yeah, I guess we should," Misty agreed. "Thanks for everything."
So, after they said their goodbye's, the three Pokémon trainers left.
@------------}---------------}--------------------}---------------------------------------------
"Yessssss!!!!!!!!! We finally got dat pesky Pikachu!" Meowth jumped for joy. "Dis is da best day of dis tats life."
"Yep," James added with a smile. "And we owe it all to our new team member, Jade Rocket."
"Yeah, now lets party!" Jessy said, and they all began to dance and sing. It was late that night before any of them fell asleep, and as soon as Jessy, James, and Meowth were asleep, Jade tiptoed out of the cabin. She walked deep into the forest, the light of the full moon leading her way. After she had gone far away from the cabin, she noticed a bright, warm light coming from somewhere. When she found it, she had come to where Ash, Brock and Misty were camping. They were eating and talking, so she hid in the bushes to watch.
"Ash, you need to eat," Misty was saying.
"Yea, Ash. Don't worry. The old man was right. Pikachu will find us." Brock was worried about his young friend. Ash just sat there, staring blankly at the fire.
"He hasn't said a word since we left the cabin," Misty whispered to Brock. He nodded.
"He'll worry himself sick if we don't find Pikachu soon." He looked at the young girl seriously.
"Do you really think we'll find him?" She asked.
"I don't know. He could be far away from here by now." Both children sighed. "I hope we find him, for his sake and for Ash's." After that, Jade knew what she had to do. She trudged slowly back to the cabin. When she got there, she picked up the small mouse Pokémon and went back to the Ash, Brock and Misty's camp. When she got there, the kids were asleep, except Ash, who was lying awake.
"Pikachu," she began gently, "I'm sorry we captured you. Go back to Ash now. He needs you." And with that, she let the Pokémon go. He ran straight into his trainer's arms. She heard him screaming for joy as she walked back to the cabin once more.
@------------}---------------}--------------------}---------------------------------------------
When Jade got back to the cabin, her new friends were sound asleep in their beds. She sat in hers and tried to decide what to do. In doing this, she got herself into a personal debate.
"If I'm here when they wake up, they might suspect me of stealing Pikachu for myself, or something like that, and I couldn't stand it if they thought that. But If I leave, then they'll really think I betrayed them. Oh, what to do?"
The answer came almost immediately. "I have to tell them the truth. I must tell them that I have such a soft heart that I would release the Pokémon they worked so hard to capture. Oh, I hope they understand. I just couldn't stand to think that that poor Pokémon was trapped and away from his master. And just think of what Ash was going through." Jade sighed.
Another thought came into her head. A brilliant idea, if it would work. "Maybe, somehow, we could all quit Team Rocket, and then we'd never have to answer to the Boss again. We could live here together, and have no worries. Perhaps we could even get real jobs to make a living, and Team Rocket could be out of our lives forever!"
"That would be great," a voice from the darkness answered, "but there's only one thing. Giovanni assassinates those who quit his team." Jade turned around with a start to see Jessy, James, and Meowth sitting on the bed next to her, all looking at her intently.
"Oh, no," Jade said grudgingly. "How long have you been there?"
"The whole time." James, the one who had spoken before, said. "We know all about your letting go of our spoils. But I for one agree that it was the right thing to do." The other two nodded in agreement.
Tears welled up in Jade's eyes. "You understand? Wow, you guys. I may not have known you for long, but you have already became my best friends." After hugging each of them in turn, (and stroking Meowth's ears) she sat bolt upright, as if startled. "What was that noise?"
"What noise?" Jessy asked. "I didn't…" But then it came again, clearer this time. There, from the door, came a "knock knock knock".
"Should we answer it?" Jessy asked, quavering as she huddled next to James.
"I'll do it," her partner said bravely. As he walked towards the door, both girls and the cat Pokémon followed James, shivering with fright. When he reached for the door, he was startled as the knob slowly began to turn. All at once, the door flung open and in jumped…
"Prepare for trouble!"
"And make it triple!"
"To protect Pokémon from devastation!"
"To unite all trainers within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of Team Rockets' hate!"
"To destroy Team Rocket and make the world safe!"
"Misty!"
"Ash!"
"Team Anti-Rocket blasts off to start a fight!"
"To destroy Team Rocket and end their plight!"
"Brock!"
"Pikachu!"
"That's right!"
The three Team Rocket members and the Pokémon paled at hearing this. They knew that Ash, Misty, and Brock had found out about their stealing Pikachu, and guessed that now they wanted revenge. They knew that this was the end. After all the good times and bad times Jessy and James had gone through together, it was now over. They were caught, and would now be put to an end forever. Looking at each other in the dark, they mouthed a silent good-bye and looked back at their captors.
