The Start Of The Plan It was a simple day in the world of Unova...Ash, Cilan, and Iris where traveling to the next town and Pikachu was smiling without a care in the world."Alright guys lets hurry and get to the next gym!" Ash said with slightly too much enthusiasm as he runs up ahead."Ugh ash you act so much like a kid it really confuses me exactly how old you actually are." Iris sighs. Little do they know that someone is watching them from the shadows, a strange man with a mask and a hood covering his face and at his side was a fairly small riolu, ever so silent as they both watched the small group. "It appears this is the group, I was expecting so much more from this kid...however if they are here and those team rocket members are not anywhere near that must mean that they were blasted off already..." The Strange man thought out load."..." The riolu silently nods as he looks around searching for the three stooges, only to find them nowhere to be found nearby."Well buddy It looks like we have some major work to do...Lets introduce ourselves to those guys later, right now we need to find Jessie, James, and that Meowth". And with that the strange man and riolu go searching for the three rocket grunts as they merge into the shadows of the trees. Meanwhile, not too far away the same three were sitting by a fire, pondering different ways to capture the abnormally strong Pikachu that ash had by his side."Did we try surrounding them by fire already?" James Asks as he chews on a piece of pork. "Actually we have, back in sinnoh I think."Jessie said. Meowth however didn't say anything as he stared into the fire, remembering his multiple dreams that occur every night. 'Why do these dreams feel like...like memories.' Meowth pondered. Suddenly at the same figure from before swooped down to the campsite in a stylish fashion. This surprised team rocket as James goes right for his poke balls while Jessie and Meowth get into defensive position. "Who are you and what do you want!" Jessie says as she reaches for her Pokémon. The man smiles under his hood as he realises his plan will soon fall into action. My name is none of your concern as of yet... and I have an offer for you three." The three look at each other as they realise this man was being genuine. "Okay buddy what is this offer?" Meowth says as he eyes the man's large bag and hood. "I am willing to train you three in the arts of advanced Pokémon battling and show meowth what his dreams actually mean." Meowth's eyes widen when he hears that this man knows about his dreams. "And what is our side of the bargain?" Jessie says skeptical about this person's strange deal. "You quit team rocket and join me, you will receive twice your salary and will become my personal agents." Eclipse says calmly, ignoring the hostility Jessie was giving. Team Rocket Gawk as they realise what this man wants, and after some consideration they agree. "Perfect, first we need to get to my base which is actually quite far from here." He says. "Ok boss." They salute. The man smiles and says," call me Eclipse."
