"That's it Kidd! I'm going back to my dream of being a trainer!" Yelled Sundance as soon as they reached their room.
"I'm with you all the way, if I had not run outta cash and had to join Team Rocket for money, I would be a master by now!" Kidd yelled as well.
"Imagine it Kidd! Free to do what we like, when we like, and we won't have to steal Pokémon anymore!"
"And we won't have to give half of our Pokémon to the boss anymore either."
For the next hour or two, they chatted excitably.
Knock, knock; an ominous knocking started at the door. Sundance and Kidd froze.
"Hey, let me in will you? I need a safe place to hide," called a voice from the other side.
Sundance crept towards the door, reached out a shaking hand (what if it was a trap, was she and Kidd talking too loud) - were the thoughts that raced through her mind. She swung the door open and there stood an ashen-faced James who was panting heavily.
"Help me please, I've just run all the way from Dominion City, and I don't know if I lost her," James started screeching urgently.
"Lost who?" Asked Sundance puzzled.
James didn't bother to answer, just pushed past Sundance and slammed the door close then started drawing all the curtains in the room until the only light was the pinpricks of Pixie's eyes who had woken up from her Poké slumber when the racket had started.
"Safe, I think, for now!" James happily said in a crazy way.
"What is going on James?" Asked Kidd.
"Who are you running from?" Sundance also asked.
James went pale greenish and started stammering indistinguishable words.
"What?" Snapped Sundance.
"J... J...Jess...," James tried to say something but was stammering too much to be understood.
Finally Kidd interrupted, "Jesse must of hit him too many times with that fan and now he's mad!"
"No!" Yelled James, "JESSIEBELLE!"
"Who?" Yelled Sundance and Kidd.
"The woman who my parents chose as my fiancée!"
"What!" Yelled Sundance and Kidd again.
"You heard me, not to mention she is a deranged woman who tries to kill me and I HATE her but the only way to get the family fortune is if I marry her," sobbed James, "so Jesse and Meowth try to make me marry her so that they can get that fortune!"
"Yeah, that's really horrible James, but the only way I can get my family fortune is to run the family gym," said Sundance.
"Same for me there!," Kidd happily said.
"And trust me, running a gym isn't easy, so that's why I ran away and became a trainer then I saw Team Rocket, liked the uniform and joined," Sundance said recounting a brief history.
"You're joking," said James savagely, "you're telling me that running a stupid gym is harder than marrying Jessiebelle?"
"Not really, but we calmed you down a bit, I mean you were scaring Pixie with your ranting and raving," said Sundance brightly.
They looked towards Pixie in her Poké-bed fast asleep with her mouth open, issuing little snores.
James started giggling hysterically, fell to his knees and then started rolling on the floor canning himself hysterically.
Sundance and Kidd looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Sundance kicked him.
"Shut up or you'll wake Pixie!"
"Oww!" James sobbed.
Suddenly a loud knocking was heard at the door.
"It's her!" James whispered and frantically searched the room for a hiding place.
"It doesn't sound like anyone is in here Ash," a voice, sounding like that brat Misty's voice.
"But I'm sure I heard someone laughing hysterically in here!" Snapped Ash's voice.
"Let's go in and see then!" Came Tracy's voice.
All three agents looked at each other in the dim light that their eyes had gotten used to. All three of them dived behind the sofa by the door. The door slowly opened and the light was switched on, flooding the room in bright lightness and making the agents blink their eyes in pain. Slow footsteps reached the agent's ears and then -
"Oh cute, what a beautiful Vulpix!" Came Misty's gushing voice.
"Keep your hands off Pixie!," Sundance hissed silently.
"That's the Vulpix that toasted Pikachu – I'm sure of it!" Snapped Ash angrily.
"Pika pi," came a hissing Pikachu voice.
"Er... Ash, come here," came Tracy's voice.
Footsteps came near the sofa and the sound of gasping reached their ears, the agents looked up and saw three startled faces staring back at them.
"Quick Kidd, shut the door before they escape!" Screeched Sundance.
Kidd leapt to his feet and raced to the door, the brats surprised were slow to move and were intercepted by Sundance and James who jumped over the sofa.
"Pixie, take care of the Pikachu!" Snapped Sundance, wrestling with Misty, while James tackled Ash, and was actually strong enough to fight him. Tracy and Kidd were playing some kind of a dodging game.
The door bashed open and Butch and Cassidy attracted to the sound of fighting came crashing in, followed by a dozen henchmen who they called in case they were needed to break Sundance and Kidd apart, who were known to fight like it was the end of the world when they became angry. It was not always themselves they fought against, several henchmen were reported coming back from a mission led by them with black eyes and numerous bruises inflicted by Sundance and Kidd.
Most of this anger was being displayed on Misty, with her pigtail all misshapen; and on Tracy, who Kidd now had in a headlock.
"Oh my!" Exclaimed Cassidy, as soon as she saw the chaos.
"How in the world did the brats get here?" A shocked Butch croaked.
The henchmen quickly separated the fighting agents and kids, not to mention stopping the Vulpix and Pikachu killing each other. They stared at each other savagly.
"Take them to some place which can act as a cell!" Yelled Cassidy.
When the henchmen started dragging the agents away too, Cassidy back-handedly slapped one of them.
"The kids you idiots," Butch croaked menacing.
"Not the agent Kidd as well you imbecile!" Snapped Cassidy at the henchman holding Kidd, "sometimes I think you guys have no brains!"
The three fighting agents sat down on the sofa, Pixie jumped up and sat on Sundance's lap; it had fur missing on its sides.
"Would you care to explain what was happening here!" Cassidy hissed.
"We don't know ourselves, they just walked in here, and we just started fighting," James started ambling.
"Yoohoo, Jamie darling, I've been looking all over for you! Luckily I met up with your partner Jesse here!" A new voice came wafting through the air.
James went pale green.
"Help me!" He whispered hoarsely.
A young woman, who looked surprisingly like Jesse, came into the room.
Cassidy swung round and pointed to a free henchman, "you, escort this intruder outside will you!" She snapped.
After a struggling and screaming hysterically Jessiebelle was thrown outside, James heaved a big sigh of relief.
"I didn't do it to save you James, I did it because I can't stand that accent of hers!" Cassidy stated.
"Any way, what a strange day this has been, I wonder how those annoying kids got in here?" Asked Kidd.
"We'll only know once the boss has questioned them," Butch replied.
"All this time, we've been trying to steal that dratted Pikachu, and it just wanders into our HQ!" Exclaimed James angrily.
