In the office of Professor Oak, Tracy was working on some research and cataloging it in the computer. He was doing his best to ignore Misty who was ranting behind him. She was talking about the same thing she always talked about, ASH. Tracy was tired of hearing it. "Can you believe he did that! I mean he comes in to the room, kisses me, tell me he cares about me! Then runs off screaming about how he loves May!!" Misty said angrily as she paced back and forth. Tracy's Maril sat on the desk in front of him watching Misty go back and forth. "How he do this to me Tracy! I thought he cared about me!" Misty said angrily. Tracy turned around in his chair as he looked at Misty realizing he wasn't going to get any work done with Misty around. He got up out of his chair and gave her a hug. "Calm down Misty, just breath" Misty took a deep breath and hugged him back. "How come I can never find a good guy?" She asked as she hugged her friend. Tracy stroked her hair and sighed. "I'm sure he's out there Misty, you just need to look for him" He hated encouraging her to date other guys. He wished that just once she would turn around and see him, not Ash, or another guy, but him.
Professor oak walked back into his office with a worried look on his face. "It's been over a week and I haven't heard from Gary, I'm starting to get a little worried. I'm going to have to head down there sometime this week to make sure he is doing all right" Professor Oak walked right past Tracy and Misty over to one of his computer simulators to do some work on an experiment with Snorlax. Misty moved away from Tracy giving him a small smile. "Thanks for listening and being there for me Tracy." She smiled as he blushed. "no problem Misty"
In the office of Team Rocket's new head quarters he was setting the next part of his plan in motion. He had hundreds of Rocket agents set in major cities all over the Kanto region. He smirked as he pet his Persian. He had Victory Road caved in to prevent the Elite Four from interfering. He now needed to make sure his son the Pokemon Master was taken out of the picture. Three people were shown on his screen. They were three of the most important individuals in Ash Ketchum's life, Professor Samuel Oak, Delia Ketchum, and May Maple. His Agents Annie and Oakley would take the professor, Domino would capture May, and as for Delia, Giovanni figured she was a matter he should handle Personally.
Annie and Oakley were traveling by chopper to the oak laboratory. "You know the drill Annie, we grab the old man quickly and get out." Annie nodded as she chucked a few grenades at the roof. Professor oak, Tracy and Misty ran for safety as the roof collapsed. As the smoke cleared they saw Annie and Oakley being lowered from a rope. "Team Rocket! What do you want?" Misty said angrily as she pulled out a pokeball. Annie simply chuckled as she threw a pokeball. Her Espeon popped out ready to strike as Oakley pulled out her Ariados. "Ariados use string shot!" Ariados webbed up Misty Tracy and Professor Oak. "You wont get away with this!" Tracy screamed as he struggled in his binds. "Espeon shut them up with Hypnosis" Espeon let out a hypnosis wave putting the three of them to sleep. Oakley grabbed Professor Oak throwing him over her shoulder. "Lets go, we got what we came for" What about the others Oakley?" Annie asked concerned about leaving survivors. "It will be fine we got what we came for no lets go before the cops show up."
At May's home she sat on her couch polishing her pokeballs thinking about if it was a mistake to end it with Ash. Then she heard a knock at the door. She jumped up hoping it would be Ash at the door. As she reached for the handle the door was kicked down sending May into the wall. As she rubbed the back of her head May looked up to see Domino standing over her and she seemed to be studying her. "Honestly I don't understand what he sees in you" She said with a smirk. May stood up looking domino in the eyes. "what do you want?" Domino smirked "I'm here for you May" She said with a smile. In an act of desperation May shoved domino aside and made a mad dash for her pokeballs. May grabbed two and threw them out summoning Snorlax and Balziken. "Get her!" May screamed as Snorlax and Balziken headed her way. "Oh no what ever shall I do?" She said in mock fear. Domino jumped over the pokemon while tossing two pokeballs of her own. Ever since she fought Brendan she decided to mimic his team so the next time she fought her love they would be on a truly even playing field. She summoned out Linoone and Toxicroak. "You two take care of her pokemon." Domino grabbed May by the shirt and threw her into the next room. "I was ordered to bring you in alive, I was never told I couldn't mess you up a bit" Domino hated the fact that Brendan still loved May more then her. In her eyes May wasn't worthy. As she approached May she pulled out her electric tulip giving the coordinator a powerful electric shock. "Awww what's wrong May am I hurting you?" Domino said vindictively.
In the other room Blaziken and Snorlax were already on the ground unconscious as Toxicroak and Linoone stood over them. Domino gripped May by the throat. "I can't believes he still loves you when he's had me, oh well, he'll come around." She said with a smile. May looked at her in horror. "Wh-what are you talking about?" Domino looked over at her. Domino getting bored with the conversation raised her hand and smacked may hard across the face knocking her out. Domino slumped May over her shoulder as she started to walk out the door. "You two hurry up we gotta go" She called out to her pokemon.
Delia was in her kitchen washing some dishes with Mr. Mime. When they heard a knock at the door. Mr. Mime ran off to answer the door. He froze in horror as he opened the door and saw Giovanni standing in the doorway with his Persian. Delia came walking into the living room drying off her hands. "Mimey who's at the….Giovanni!!" She said in shock as the man and his Persian entered her home. "Hello Delia, long time no see, I was just in the neighbor hood and I thought isn't there a secret Delia has been keeping from me?" She slowly backed away as he spoke to her. "No of course not I didn't keep anything from you" Her knees were shaking and her whole body felt cold. Giovanni grabbed her by the throat as Persian incapacitated Mr. Mime. "Deceitful whore!!" He yelled as he slammed her into the wall. "How dare you keep my son from me!!"
Delia gasped for air as he choked her. Giovanni slammed her into the wall over and over as he become more enraged. "How dare you do this to me!!" She pulled on his arm to loosen his grip. "I won't let you hurt my son!" She said as she struggled. Giovanni just laughed. "He's my son, you took him from me and trust me Delia you will pay." As he let her go she leaned up against the wall trying to catch her breath. However before she knew what happened Giovanni smacked her hard knocking her to the floor and knocking her unconscious. As he picked her up over his shoulder he carried her out to his car laying her carefully in the back seat along side him. As the care drove away he contacted Domino. "Domino have the other targets been extracted?" "yes sir!" Domino said quickly "shall I proceed with the next phase?" "Yes Domino" As the car drove out of Pallet town, Delia Ketchum's home, the home of May and Ash, and the Oak Laboratory simultaneously exploded.
