"So what's this plan you said you had last night?" Butch asked as Cassidy walked into the room from her shower. She motioned for him to spin around so she could put her clothes on. Butch turned around and gazed at the picture on the blank white wall.
"Well, it will only work if…" She started, "well, remember those twerpy kids? You know, the one with the Pikachu?" She asked.
"Yeah. But what do they have to do with anything?" Butch asked, still turned toward the wall out of respect.
"Well, those kids have some pretty powerful Pokemon and they could really come through. And besides, they never fail so if we team up with them, we're like, guaranteed to win."
"I hope that's not your whole plan…" Butch said and turned around. Cassidy was fully clothed in her Team Rocket uniform.
"It's not. I'll let you in on it if we get those kids to help out."
"Or if we find them first…" Butch muttered.
"That should be easy. The one with the Pikachu won the Indigo League a year ago so he shouldn't be hard to find. We'll just have to break into the League Champion's building and he should be there for about a month or two more." Cassidy explained.
"And how do you know all of this?"
"Some people like to know what's going on in the real world." She smirked at him. "We have to leave today."
"How will we get into that place though? It has top of the line security." Butch remarked.
"Let me worry about that, Botch."
"It's BUTCH!" He yelled.
"I know." She smirked and left the room. Butch rolled his eyes and followed her to the cafeteria for breakfast.
Butch had to hurry and eat his breakfast as fast as he could because Cassidy said so. She said that her plan had to be at the perfect time. She pulled him out of the cafeteria to start their journey. It didn't take too long for them to arrive at the Indigo League building due to the fact they were in Viridian City and they had a jeep. Cassidy told Butch to come with her. They wore their pitiful disguises of pizza delivery people. The guard was easy to get by because Cassidy showed him some cleavage.
"Well that got us in." Butch whispered to her.
"I can't believe I just did that." Cassidy sighed. She hated degrading herself like her mother had done when she was her age.
"I doubt you'll ever see him again." Butch gave her a pat on the back while balancing empty pizza boxes on his right hand. "And you did it for a good cause."
"Butch?"
"Hmm?"
"Just shut up." She said to him. He decided that was the best thing he could do in this situation. Cassidy could get very irritable sometimes. Most would assume she was PMSing all of the time. But Butch knew better. He had to stay away from her on the days she really was PMSing because that was a living hell. She once threw a chair at his head because he offered her a chicken wing.
"In here." She whispered. Butch followed her into the room that the twerpy kid was in.
"Finally! Come on in!" Ash exclaimed. "I've been waiting for that pizza for hours!" He grabbed the pizza boxes from Butch and opened all of them as he laid them on the table. "Hey! They're all empty!" Ash glared at them.
"Ash, I don't think these are pizza deliverers." The one with the pointy brown hair said whose name was Brock. He was a bit more observant than Ash. Just because Ash matured physically, it didn't mean he matured mentally.
"It's Team Rocket!" Misty said and her eyes went wide. Cassidy and Butch ripped off their costumes to reveal their Team Rocket uniforms.
"It is Team Rocket!" Ash yelled.
"And you think he's capable of helping us…" Butch muttered so only Cassidy could hear. Ash stood his ground in front of the infamous Rocket duo. Cassidy was surprised Ash was an inch taller than her. Last time she saw him, he barely passed her chest! He must have finally gotten his growth spurt.
"We come in peace." Cassidy said as she and Butch held their hands up. She glared at Butch about the comment he had just made. She turned back to Ash and her eyes went back to normal.
"We need your help." Butch said to them.
"Why should we help you?" Misty butted in. "All you do is cause trouble."
"Trust me, once you hear this, you'll want to help us." Butch sighed.
"Well, tell me and I'll decide if it's worth it." Ash declared. Cassidy and Butch nodded. Butch decided he would start.
"As you know, you haven't seen Team Rocket, er, you know, those three Jessie, James, and Meowth. They were all sent to go to the prison in the basement of Team Rocket. James was caught but he got away somehow. No one really knows how he did it, not even the boss. But we were told Jessie and Meowth were dead but they weren't. Meowth was tortured and beaten. He's missing a leg, the last time I saw him. But what really motivated me was when I saw the state Jessie was in. She was beaten and raped every day since she was put in that cell. I doubt she's seen daylight. I won't go into details, but she's in a pretty bad condition to say the least."
"We'll do it." Misty said immediately.
"How do we know you aren't lying?" Ash asked skeptically.
"Why would we make up something like this?" Cassidy demanded. "Jessie needs your help, dammit and you're going to help!" Cassidy yelled. Butch had to hold her back from lunging at Ash.
"I said we'll do it." Misty said. "I don't think you're making this up." She looked into the eyes of the two criminals.
"I'm in." Brock said.
"Brock! Misty!"
"Ash, no girl deserves to be treated like how they say she's been." Brock said. "And you're going to help them too." Misty glared at Ash. He gulped in intimidation. Sure, he was a sixteen year old champion but that girl still could make the hairs stick up in his back in fear. And he liked it.
"Alright I'm in." Ash said.
"Thank you." Cassidy said as she locked eyes with Misty. The orange haired girl nodded. Cassidy got back to business. "So, I have a plan that's going to be foolproof."
"Just tell us what we have to do and we'll do it." Ash said as determination was written all over his face. Cassidy proceeded to take out a map of the first floor.
"So first, we all go in through the back door. There's a special code to open it but luckily, I know it. We will all sneak in at twelve at lunchtime and wait in the bathrooms. Butch and I are going to leave the bathrooms around six when everyone's eating dinner." She explained.
"You mean we have to wait for six hours in a bathroom!" Ash exclaimed.
"It's the only way it'll work. We'll have to hide in the vent system in the bathroom so no one spots us." Butch added.
"Right." Cassidy nodded. "We'll keep in touch with walkie talkies. So, at six on the dot, mostly every Team Rocket member will be in the cafeteria," She pointed at the left corner of the map. "So Brock, I understand you have an Onix?" He nodded. "Good, then me and you will lock the Team Rocket members in the cafeteria so they can't get out. I'll tell the rest of you when to leave the bathrooms. Any questions so far?"
"I do." Ash said and raised his hand.
"What is it?" Butch asked.
"I was wondering, when do I come in?" Ash asked.
"I didn't get that far yet, Ash." Cassidy held back her anger. She counted to ten silently before she continued the plan. "Okay. So, Misty will go to the intersection of the hallways leading to the cafeteria. Attack anyone who won't stay back and cooperate with you. You have to make sure these security guards don't get to the cafeteria door. You think you could do it?"
"Of course. I have a Gyarados that has a mean temper." Misty announced.
"Good. Now, Butch, you're going to have to go up to the boss's office and make sure he won't escape. You will be given a gun."
"How are you going to get a gun?" Ash asked.
"I've got two of them in the back of the jeep." Butch stated proudly. "I have a license to carry guns."
"Oh. Alright. But what if…"
"Just let Cassidy continue, Ash!" Misty yelled.
"Yes ma'am." Ash gave her an army salute. Misty turned back to Cassidy.
"Please continue."
"So, Ash, you will be going to the basement to get Jessie and Meowth out of there. You have the strongest Pokemon so it should be easiest for you to get down to the basement. On my way to the elevator, I'll disable the elevator so you'll be taking the stairs which are here," She said and pointed to the hallway that came after the cafeteria. "You'll need fire, water, and grass type Pokemon to break down that steel door she's in. But we're going to need a way to block off the stairs just in case guards go down there…"
"I have a Snorlax! I could have it block off the stairs!"
"I guess you aren't so dumb after all." Butch muttered.
"That's perfect. I guess you can even have your smart moments." Misty commented.
"There are normally five guards down in the basement." Butch said.
"Nothing Pikachu can't handle!" Ash exclaimed. "Right, buddy?"
"Pikachu!" It said as it was perched on Ash's shoulder.
"So when do we leave?" Brock asked.
"Tomorrow." Cassidy said.
