Ash, Misty and Brock were on the road to Cerulean City to enjoy a night together. Suddenly, Team Rocket jumped out of the bushes. "Give us Pikachu or we'll take her instead!" James cried.

Ash stepped forward. "You're not getting Pikachu! Or Misty!" he cried.

Jessie stepped forward. "My dear Misty and Brock, we'd like you two to join Team Rocket. We'll give you immeasurable riches if you do." she said.

Ash's jaw dropped. "Misty, Brock, I'm your best friend! You wouldn't choose them over me, would you?" he asked.

Misty smiled. "Let me talk to Ash and Brock first." she told Jessie.

After a few minutes, Misty stepped up. "Brock and I have agreed to join Team Rocket." she said.

Ash's jaw dropped. "Misty! No! Don't do this!" he cried.

Misty smiled. "I'm sorry, Ash, but they've promised to make us richer than you ever could make us." she said.

Ash started crying. "Come on, Pikachu. If they want to join Team Rocket, I won't stop them." he said, running off.

Pikachu burst into tears. "Pika pika pikapi!" he cried, following his trainer.

Jessie smiled. "Alright, come along. We've got to formally induct you into the organization." she said.

At Team Rocket headquarters, Misty saw a familiar girl. "Serena? Is that you?" she asked.

Serena smiled. "Yes, it's me, Misty. I'm a proud member of Team Rocket, just like you." she said.
