The Greater Enemy

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon, this I know. If I did own Pokémon I'd be very rich. I also don't own Godzilla obviously.

Part 4

At about 12 o'clock at night Ash, Misty and Brock's Pokemon are still trying to get out along with some other stolen Pokemon. A figure comes to the door and they all hush and hide. A figure wearing a familiar Team Rocket uniform comes in and looks around. Pikachu fires a thunderbolt at it, but it doesn't get through the rubber protection. The person jumps back from Pikachu but goes back to inspecting the Pokemon's cages. Pulling a pair of pliers out of nowhere it starts to cut open Pidgeotto's cage. Muttering "I shouldn't be doing this…I'm a member of Team Rocket, I should NOT have a conscious!" Jesse continues freeing the heroes' Pokemon.

Freeing Pidgeotto and Vulpix she backs up to examine her handiwork, only to bump into someone. 'Oh no! I'm in for it! I'll be fired!' she thinks as she jumps back. She hears him say, "Jessica, is that you?" Jesse sighs in relief; it's just James! James looks around and asks, "Say, what is it you're doing?" Jesse panics and tries to put herself in between James and the Pokemon. James sees anyway and says, "You're freeing those brat's Pokemon aren't you?" "Well…uh…that is…" "Jesse, you DO have a heart!" exclaims James hugging her. James then jerks back and cringes as if expecting a mallet to the head. Jesse looks sad a moment and says, "Do you really think we should let them all out?" James looks around and says, "Greed says 'no', but I really want to say 'yes'." Jesse says, "Let's just keep Pikachu and Togepi, Meowth still misses it. The rest we'll set free and lead them to their owners."

Jesse and James free the Pokemon except for Pikachu and Togepi. They then take the Pokemon to the cells where Ash, Misty, and Brock are. The door swings open and the trio instantly jumps the first one in, who is James. Jesse hauls them off her partner roughly and punches them each. Jesse glares menacingly and says, "you idiots! We're here to let you out!" James rubs his head says, "Yeah, and we got your Pokemon too." The heroes look dumbfounded a moment. James says, "Hey, we're rotten, NOT evil!" Ash gives them a look that just screams "yeah, right." James corrects, "not totally evil…" Ash nods, and the lot of them leave.

Jesse stops, gives them directions for a way out and says, "Now get lost, we can't be seen helping you twits." They start to go put stop, Ash says, "Hey! What about Togepi and Pikachu?" "What about them?" asks Jesse. Misty says, "You didn't give them back to us, we want all our Pokemon back!" James quickly makes up an excuse, "Well…it was too late, the Boss already took them elsewhere." Jesse adds, "Be glad you got most of your Pokemon back." Ash and Misty refuse to leave until they find Pikachu and Togepi and are about to head out looking for them when they hear footsteps. Brock makes them come, saying they'll come back for Pikachu and Togepi with the police.

Jesse and James start to leave too when they hear a deep voice behind them. "Hey, what do you two think you doing?" J&J turned around and saw a large muscular, bald man; he was also wearing a very unfashionable vest and shorts. They made sure to tell him this. The large guy swings at them and they duck, Jesse starts yelling at him, but they hear an even deeper voice behind them. "What do you two think you're doing teaming up on Grounder?" Jesse and James turn around to see the female version of the man that had swung at them. She had her hair in a large, formidable-looking Mohawk and scary looking biker clothes. "Grounder, Thug, it's so unpleasant to see you again!" said Jesse arrogantly.

Thug: "You're just asking for trouble…"

Grounder chimes in: "And that'll be double!"

Thug, looks confused, and then goes, "Oh yeah! The motto! --To cause global devastation!"

Grounder: "To steal all Pokemon in every nation!"

Thug: "To give honesty and kindness a nasty shove"

Grounder: "To toss opposition to the stars above!"

"Thug!"

"Grounder!"

Thug: "Team Rocket's winning left and right!"

Grounder: "Run or surrender, you can't win this fight!"

Ryhorn: "Rrryyy-horn!!"

Meowth: "EVERYONE COPIES US!! RAAAH!!" Meowth grabs a bucket of water from out of nowhere and soaks Ryhorn thusly taking it out. Meowth jumps up and fury swipes Thug, hops off and fury swipes Grounder. Both Thug and Grounder reel back in pain yelling at Meowth.

"Go Hitmonlee!" yells Thug as she tosses out the kicking Pokemon. Meowth turns just in time to see Hitmonlee's foot headed for his face. Meowth ducks and Hitmonlee flies over his head crashing into a wall. Hitmonlee gets up and charges for Meowth again, only to be wrapped up by Arbok. Grounder sends out Onix to help his partner out.

Onix brings its tail down to crush Arbok, but belonging to Jesse, Arbok is really good at running, and Onix instead creams Hitmonlee. Thug sends out Hitmonchan, commanding it to ice-punch Arbok. Weezing flies in and releases gas, and Arbok escapes. James pulls out Weezing and has Growlie flame the gas, causing an explosion that takes out Hitmonchan and injures Onix. James sends out Victreebell, which just accidentally vine whips Onix taking out.

Thug gets mad and sends out Machoke and Primeape. Grounder sends out Geodude and Golem. Jesse and James quickly read through all the notes they took from Ash but can't find anything to help them. Jesse sends out Ghastly who takes down Primeape and Golem before being taken out by a misfire from one of their own Pokemon. With no help from their notes Jessie and James soon lose their Pokemon, with Machoke still left. "Watch a real Pokemon in action!" shouts Meowth as he charges Machoke. Machoke casually kicks Meowth away and watches him smack into a wall. Meowth gets mad, picks up the knocked out Geodude, and smacks Machoke in the face with it. Machoke goes down and Grounder and Thug walk away with their noses up in the air. Jessie and James soon get their Pokemon healed and continue on their day.

"Jessica?"

"hmm, yes James?"

"Uh, what are we going to do today? We can't go after Pikachu, we already caught him."

"uhhh…interesting point."

Meowth says, "We steal more valuable Pokemon!"

James whines "Can't we have at least one day off?"

"No you numbskull! I still have a ways to go before becoming top cat again!"

Jesse and James come along grudgingly to try and steal other Pokemon. Meanwhile Ash, Misty, and Brock are still searching for Pikachu and Togepi. They're crawling around in the air ventilation system, checking every room for their beloved Pokemon. Misty sees the medical room and excitedly calls for Ash and Brock. "There's Pikachu and Togepi!" Ash, Misty and Brock lean into the screen causing them to crash to the floor. They freeze as someone hurries into the room and turns on the light. The bizarre hair, green in a broccoli pattern, identifies him as a Team Rocket field agent. He snarls, "You kids! I don't know how you got out, but…" Ash stops him in mid-sentence, going for a pokeball. Ash says, "Now, remember Charizard? I don't know which ball I'm holding and it might just be him. Now, just ask your self one question, 'do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya?" The TR member slowly puts his hands above his head, saying "Now, no need to get irrational here." Misty and Brock free Pikachu and Togepi while Ash holds the TR member down.

Just as they start to push the TR member out, they run into his partner and two other TR squads. "Get him!" yells the partner, but the other squads hold back. "what are you waiting for?!" "Uh…I'm still nervous about that Pikachu…" "We outnumber them 2 to one you morons!" The TR members begin to chase but Ash, Misty and Brock already have a good head start. They crash into Butch and Cassidy, but manage to get up and run again before the Team Rocket teams can catch up. "We have to find a way out of here fast!" yells Ash. To which Misty replies, "It's that obvious? Even you caught it?" Ash glares at Misty as they run blindly through the halls.

Jesse, James, and Meowth have returned to headquarters after failing to steal a Dragonair, and THEN failing to snatch a Zapdos. That's a lot of failures considering they only went out 45 minutes before this point in the story. The Boss is chewing them out, for the usual reasons. Meowth says, "Yeah, but we did get that Pikachu!" The Boss says, "No you didn't! There's a base-wide alert that its trainers have escaped and freed all their Pokemon." James starts to say something about Pikachu and Togepi should still be locked up but Jesse stops him. Jesse says, "Well boss, that's too bad. We did tell you that those kids are craftier than they look." Giovanni glares at them, and looks like he's about to yell when a door in the background flies open.

Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu ran into the first door they saw. They fell into a dark room with a large vid-phone and a large chair. The chair spins around, a Persian is visible, but the man is concealed in shadow. "What are you doing here? Who are you?" Ash says, "We might just ask you the same thing!" James says over the vid-phone, "That's our boss! He runs all of Team Rocket!" Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu first get looks of shock, which soon turn into looks of anger. Misty yells, "YOU'RE the one that has Team Rocket steal innocent Pokemon?" Brock starts to make a growling-like noise. Ash says, "You are responsible for almost ALL the trouble we've had through these two seasons!! Pikachu, let's crack open a can of whoop-ass on this punk!"

"Piiiii-kaaaaa-CHU!!" yells Pikachu as he fires mega-voltage into the leader of Team Rocket. Giovanni starts making funny noises and goes into ridiculous positions as he glows bright yellow and is picked up into the air. Once Pikachu stops its electric barrage Giovanni falls to the ground smoldering. Persian gets up, looks back and forth between Pikachu and Giovanni. Meowth comments, "Persian has no chance against Pikachu. FIGHT!! FIGHT!! FIGHT!!" Persian glares at Meowth, and runs away from Pikachu, who fries him anyway. Persian falls down with spiral eyes and an unhealthy looking black color all over. Meowth is hopping up and down laughing at Persian.

Jesse and James zip into the Boss's office. "Ok kid, you're in trouble now! Hand over the Pikachu and no one gets hurt." James seems to be spacing off and says, "Trouble? Oh, make it double!" "We're not doing the motto, moron." "Why not? We always do!" "Oh ok, To protect the world from devastation!"

"To unite all peoples within our nation!"

"To denounce the evils of…" BWA-ZAP!! Pikachu thunderbolts Team Rocket in a show of impatience. Giovanni tosses out his Pokemon (the ones he has in the game anyway) Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Rydon, Ryhorn, and Dugtrio pop out of their pokeballs. Giovanni grins, "Your electric mouse is useless against rock and ground types. Surrender now." Ash tosses out Squirtle and Misty lets all of her Pokemon out, whom soon clear out Giovanni's Pokemon.

Giovanni hits an alarm for reinforcements so the heroes bolt for it. Jesse and James chase after him. Meowth lands where Jesse and James just were, almost says "Meowth! That's right!" before realizing J&J are gone. Meowth joins the pursuit of the heroes. Ash, Misty and Brock fight their way out and evade most of Team Rocket but somehow Jesse, James and Meowth stay with them.

"I knew we couldn't trust those crooks!" yells Ash as they run. Brock and Misty agree, then Misty realizes something. "Wait! It's just those losers, we don't have to run anymore!" Ash, Misty and Brock stop and turn around to face Team Rocket. Team Rocket slides to a stop, not sure of what to do. "Just let us go, and we won't have to hurt you" threatens Ash, motioning at Pikachu. Meowth replies, "The Boss doesn't accept failure!" Brock says, "Then why are you still employed?" "Well…Actually, he just doesn't like it and chews us out for it…" admits Meowth.

Jesse steps forward, "All we want is that Pikachu…" A loud noise interrupts her, and they all turn around to find that they had gotten all the way to the docks. A huge wave rises up, the sea rumbling. The wave comes under a boat, tossing it onto its side and sinking it, the wave lowers, but continues for shore. Another boat in the way, a terrible grinding sound and its bottom is gashed and it too sinks. The piers soon come under assault too, falling apart, snapping like twigs before the force under the water. The humans and Pokemon stare in total terror, too scared to run just yet. The water parts as a huge mass rises out of the ocean.

The enemy has finally arrived, it pulls itself out of the water and onto the land, emitting its deafening roar. The animal is huge, its toe is taller than a human being and a human could fit between its toes actually with ease. The huge beast looks very Tyrannosaurus-like except for its iguana-like face and huge, triangular spines all down its back. It roars its distinctive roar and looks down upon the city, seeing its target-the main characters, it readies to attack!
