On an island far south of Kanto, whatever was left of Team Rocket was gathering in their fallback outpost. Most of them had been picked up by the G-Men during the raid on their headquarters. Giovanni made it clear when they were planning the breakout that they couldn't waste their time worrying about the little fish. Now all the Rocket Elites were gathered in Giovanni's office to plan their next move.

"What's the situation 009?"

"It's as we feared. The G-Men have both the Ketchum residence and the Oak Pokémon Research Lab under constant surveillance. Wherever Omegamoah is being kept it would be impractical to try and steal it."

"That's unacceptable." said Giovanni.

"I know, I'm just telling you the facts."

"I hate to point out the obvious, but why don't we just make another Omegamoah, one even more powerful than the first?" asked another one of the Elites.

"Just make another one? Oh yeah, real fucking original!" bellowed Giovanni.

"It's just a suggestion."

"Making another Omegamoah would cost time and money, two things we don't have! The blasted Man with the Black Charizard was supposed to get him for us but failed miserably!"

"I guess we really did create the ultimate Pokémon." said another rocket half laughing.

"A lot of good that does us if it's in the hands of that little brat Ketchum!"

"If I may sir, our best chance of acquiring Omegamoah will be during the boy's match with the regional champion of Sinnoh."

"Would someone care to tell me why they're even having that battle?"

"She can battle me anytime."

For a minute everyone just stared at the Rocket in the room that made comment.

"The battle is just a publicity stunt. Ketchum has had some bad PR since that little episode in the Cerulean Gym."

"And I thought my relatives were creepy."

"Do you honestly think the Sinnoh Champion has a chance against Omegamoah?"

"Well it is six against one, and a trainer of her skill…"

"He beat an augmented Pokémon with one blow, and then proceeded to fight five more."

"If you have a better alternative, please share it."

"So I assume the plan is to wait until the day of the match, assess the situation, infiltrate the facility, see if the Sinnoh Champion can weaken Omegamoah, capture him, and blow out of there."

"Sounds like a plan to me."

"And if she can't do anything against Omegamoah?"

"Then we'll just have to be unconventional, won't we."

Time just flew by and the day of the big match came. The Omega Stadium was crowded with people; unfortunately most of them were apparently on Cynthia's side.

"I don't understand why everyone is against Ash. He didn't do anything." said May.

"Probably because his dead father turned out to be an infamous interregional criminal who wasn't really dead. And is still on the run" said Max.

"Be less helpful."

"Where the heck is Misty?"

"I think she had to go to the bathroom."

"Again?!" asked Dawn.

"Maybe she's sick or something."

"Then why didn't she just watch the match on TV?"

"I don't think she could miss this if she wanted to." said Brock.

"She wouldn't miss any of Ash's big battles, aren't they like… in love or something?" asked May.

"I think so." replied Brock "That would explain why he's been in such a good mood lately."

"What do you mean?"

"Well… After the incident at the Cerulean Gym he would go off into the mountains early in the morning every day to train and he wouldn't come home until it was really late at night. He still trains, but he's staying out less and less each day."

"Do you think Omegamoah can win?" asked Dawn.

"It might be six against one and Cynthia's Pokémon are tough, but they aren't exactly augmented Pokémon… but knowing Cynthia she has some kind of strategy. I think it could go either way." said Max.

The match would be starting in about fifteen minutes, and as expected the stadium was full. That would either make the job either easier or harder.

"I hate these wigs."

Ever since the Rocket breakout, the Pokémon G-Men had devoted their time to the search for Giovanni, and they had left no stone unturned. It was Domino's mission to infiltrate the stadium and find out what security measures were being taken. She was doing so wearing colored contact lenses and a long black wig. After walking around the interior and exterior of the stadium several times she went to the bathroom to make the call.

"Neil this is Anna. We've got at least two dozen comets in the belt that look like asteroids."

"What are you talking about?"

"What do you think I'm talking about you dumbass?!"

"This is a secure line; you don't need to talk in code."

"I'm just following protocol; the boss wants this one done by the book. If anyone is going to screw this up it's not going to be me."

"Whatever… If I hear you correctly, you're saying there are at least two dozen G-Men in disguise guarding the place?"

"Yes, and if they have half a brain they all brought six Pokémon. We're going to need at least twice as many if we're going to keep them occupied and secure the objective at the same time."

"I'm not sure we can spare that many."

"The only thing that matters is the objective, the boss made it painfully clear that he doesn't care how many expendables we have to lose to get it."

"Alright… we'll get it done. When the opportunity presents itself give the signal and we'll take it from there."

"Copy that."

Giovanni's orders were for Domino to infiltrate the stadium, assess the situation, and then give the signal to attack when Omegamoah looked weak enough. After that she would blow out of there, after all Giovanni never said she had to help capture the beast. As soon as Omegamoah was secured upon one of the choppers they would leave, and any man who fell behind would be left behind.
