"Where...am I?" Misty mumbled weakly. She gazed around blankly, straining her eyes to see through the darkness. A big screen hung from a huge metal pole in front of her and a twisting maze of rusty pipes covered the ceiling. The shapes of bars and chains scattered around the room became visible as they reflected the slither of dim sunlight, squeezing in from a crack in the far away door.

With hardly any light, and the overwhelming dizziness she was feeling, Misty couldn't see mutch. From what she could make out she was in a sort of...warehouse looking place.

Blinking her eyes widely in an attempt to get rid of the blurry vision, she tried jolting her arms free. Shocked at the sharp clinking and the coldness of the metal she had not noticed before, her neck curved as she looked up in an attempt to see what was restraining her. Her hands...they were securely chained up above her head, making it hard to try and escape. Misty's feet could only just reach the ground and her shoulders were aching and cramped from the strain. Whoever this was...they didn't want her escaping.

"Hello!" she shouted, as loud as she could manage, her weakened voice echoed around the maze of pipes,searching for someone, anyone, to hear, and un-triumphantly bounced back to her like a pokemon would do after a lost battle. Wasted breath, no one else was here.

Misty sighed, and looked to the ground, she had never felt so helpless, so..alone. Her mind began to drift back to her last memory... hearing the usual 'G'night, Mist' from Ash. His voice was so clear in her mind. Ash always called her Mist..but she had noticed it was only when Ash was sure Brock,or anyone else, couldn't hear him. Of course Misty didn't mind it, she had just never really though about it, she never had time to. Until now. After that 'G'night, Mist', she could recall nothing but going to sleep.

The time passed slowly and the stream of sunlight was beginning to brighten, Misty closed her eyes and hoped that someone would come for her soon. Although her usual companions are usually to busy sleeping and cooking to notice she would be gone. Suddenly the giant screen, that was almost invisible before, produced a overwhelming beam of bright light! Making misty look up and squint, almost blinded.

As her eyes came to adjust to the new lighting, she could see the picture on the screen was shaking and every now and then a red-haired woman would blur onto the screen.

"Hold it still!" Demanded the red blob.

Misty was getting dizzy again.

"I'M TRYIN', I'M TRYIN!'" Said a voice from the background.

Misty recognised that voice, that accent! It was Team Rocket!

"Meowth! Keep it still!" Jessie shouted, her clenched fist showing on the screen for a moment then jolting out of the frame again. Misty coughed, Hoping they could hear her. Then the camera became still and Jessie looked up into the lens.

"YOU IDIOTS! I TOLD YOU NOT TO TURN THE CAMERA ON UNTIL I SAID SO!" All Misty could was see Jessie's face pressed up into the camera, glaring past at the two amituer directors behind it.

She calmed herself down and cleared her throat.

"Hello, twerp's friend" She began. Misty didn't say anything. She wasn't going to make it easy for them, if they were the ones that brought here here. She wasn't about to overestimate them either, could they really have pulled this off... without any help? She stood her ground with a stern look on her face, glaring at them.

Brushing it off James butted in.

"I suppose you're wandering why we brought you here?" Jessie,from behind, appeared to one side of him and pushed him out the way. She took a breath to continue.

"We want dat boy friend of yours!" Meowth's voice teased, from behind the camera. Cutting Jessie off again.

She(Jessie) rolled her eyes and rougthly placed her hands on her hips, stiffening her body.

"Boy friend?" Misty asked, puzzled. The temptation of that statement was too much for her, she had to ask. As far as she was aware..she didn't have a boyfriend. She already had her mind on someone, but that was for her personal recollection. Not Team Rocket's!

"The Twerp." Jessie raised her eyebrow. "Who else would we be talking about..?"

Misty's eyes widened and her heart began to pound harder. "Oh! you mean Ash...Hey! He's not a twerp!" She paused.

"And he's not my boyfriend either!" She could feel her face starting to redden, with the thought of Ash...

...being..

...her...

...boyfriend?

Her mind drifted, but her trail of thought was interrupted.

"You should be thankful you can get a man. " Jessie snigerd, admiring her nails.

"I just can't keep them away" She sighed as Misty snarled at her inattentive eyes.

"Anyway, whatever he is, he has something we need." She grinned.

"Dat pikachu!" Meowth said, making himself visible and taking up the whole screen of the camera. James pushed him out the way.

"And you're going to help us to get it!" He chuckled.

"I will NEVER help you!" Misty shouted.

The trio paused and grinned smugly at each other.

"..but you already have!" Smiled Jessie.

"Just sit back and relax, watch some tv." She teased. Misty jerked her head, looking away from the trio on the screen, pretending she didn't care.

Although she wandered what Ash would do when he realised she wasn't there...

~"Brock wouldn't think much of it.. he would tell Ash I had probably just gone for a walk."~ She thought to herself.

But she knew that Ash, being as stubborn as he was, wouldn't accept Brock's theory.

~"He will come looking for me!"~ She was suddenly panicked and her heart was racing again, she tried to keep a stern expression on her face.

"As we speak the twerp and his pikachu are rushing here to save you..." James said excitedly. Interrupting her thoughts again, and making her heart pound faster.

"...and once they step through the door we will have the Pikachu!" James giggled.

"and a twerp too!" Meowth added.

They all laughed and the screen went black after a breif moment of Jessie telling James where the 'off' button was.
