"Now what do we do with him?" Jessie asked, "Now that we've got him?"

"First we need to take his pokemon and tie him up. Remember the pokemon league, where we captured him but because he had his pookemon, he managed to escape." James stated.

"I remember that and just to be safe we'll give him a dose of paralysis powder and stun spore when he wakes up." Jessie replied.

"Good idea Jessie." Meowth said. "That way he won't be able to even try to escape."

"Unnnn." Ash groaned as he started to regain consciousness. The pain returning in full force as his eyes started to open.

"Look he's starting to wake up!" James exclaimed.

"Ohh goody!" Jessie said. "Meowth, get the paralysis powder and stun spore."

"I'm right on it!" Meowth said as he went to fetch them.

"Unnn." Ash groaned as he struggled to open his eyes. He tried to get up and run away but discovered that he was bound. "What do they want with me?" Ash thought to himself as he desperately tried to free himself. Jessie saw what he was trying to do.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Jessie reprimanded him. "If you escape, then who is going to save your precious little pokemon?" Jessie started waving around Ash's pokemon in front of his face. Suddenly Ash got an idea. He sprang up unexpectedly and pressed the release buttons on his pokeballs with his head.

"Squirtle, bulbasaur, charmander, pigeotto go, run away. Find Misty and Brock and tell them to get help!" Ash commanded them. The pokemon did not want to leave their friend but just then meowth came running back.

"I've got them!" meowth yelled , but as he finished speaking hi tripped over a tree root and the contents of the two cylinders that he was carrying were dumped out and the wind carried them towards Ash and his pokemon.

Ash shouted "Go!" at his pokemon and head-butted them towards the forest just in time because the stun spore and paralysis powder hit just after they got out of range. Because Ash had pushed them out of the way, he received the full hit and almost lost consciousness. "Go." Ash groaned in pain from the combined affect of paralysis powder and stun spore.

"The twerp is getting extremely annoying." Jessie whined. "Seviper, poison tail on the twerps pokemon." She told seviper as she released it from her pokeball.

"No!" Ash cried and threw himself in front of his pokemon. As the poison tail hit, Ash was finally starting to feel the effect of the paralysis powder combined with stun spore. "Go." He whispered and lost consciousness. Bulbasaur, charmander, squirtle, and pigeotto finally turned and ran to get help.

"That was annoyingly heroic." Jessie commented.

"Yes." Meowth replied, "but at least he's out of commission. The twerp's pokemon ran to get help so let's get a move on."

"I couldn't agree more. But how are we going to transport him to the Boss?" James asked.

"That's already been taken care of." Meowth assured them. Just then the wind picked up and the tree Team Rocket members looked up. "See?" asked meowth as the helicopter landed. "Hurry up and throw him in the cargo hold!"
