The next day, Team Fellowship went out and smelled something good. "It's like Sweet Scent," said Jeffrey.
They followed the scent to a shop and a saleswoman greeted them, "Welcome to our perfume shop."
"We're drawn by the Sweet Scent from here," Jeffrey spoke in a tone as he was lured.
"I think you've mistaken the smell of perfume for a Pokemon's move. I'm the manager of this perfume shop," it was a young woman who dressed like a princess.
"Sorry about that," said Jeffrey.
"He has traits of a Pokemon," Diane clarified.
"That's strange," the manager muttered.
Diane, Brock, and Misty decided to check out the perfume in the shop. "So, fellas, let's challenge the gym and get our next badge," said Jeffrey.
"The gym is closed for today, you can back there tomorrow," said the manager.
Jeffrey, Pikachu, Gardevoir, and Celebi were guests in the Celadon Mansion. "You shouldn't spend all your money on drinks. Try this instead. Nothing beats thirst like some hot tea. It really is the best," an old woman gave them tea.
"We can give the tea to the guards in the border," said Gardevoir.
Jeffrey, Pikachu, Gardevoir, and Celebi went to the Rocket Game Corner. "Go ahead! Laugh! I'm flat-out busted! No more slots for me! I'm going straight! Here! I won't be needing this anymore!" a passerby angrily walked out and gave Jeffrey a coin case.
"Pika, pika," Pikachu pointed to a man in black.
Team Fellowship approached him and the man in black turned his back. "Team Rocket," Jeffrey spoke with shock upon seeing the letter "R" on the chest.
"I'm guarding this poster! Go away or else!" the Team Rocket Grunt said. "Raticate, I choose you," he sent out his first Pokemon.
"Go Nidoran," Jeffrey sent out his poison pin Pokemon.
"Focus Energy," the Team Rocket Grunt ordered and his Raticate prepared itself.
"Poison Sting," Jeffrey had his Nidoran firing a toxic spike from his mouth at the Raticate. It was poisoned during the process and the Raticate took extra damage from the poison.
"Scary Face," the Team Rocket Grunt ordered.
"Dodge and use Fury Attack," Jeffrey ordered. His Nidoran dodged the Raticate's Scary Face and jabbed its horn five times before Raticate took another damage from the poison.
"Hyper Fang," the Team Rocket Grunt ordered.
"Dodge and use Peck," Jeffrey had his Nidoran Pecking Raticate with its horn before the Raticate succumbed to the poison.
"Raticate, return," the Team Rocket Grunt called back his defeated Pokemon. "Zubat, you're up," he sent out his next Pokemon.
"Nidoran, you take a break," Jeffrey had Nidoran stepped off. "Geodude, you're up," he sent out his rock Pokemon.
"Zubat, Supersonic," the Team Rocket Grunt ordered.
"Dodge and use Rock Blast," Jeffrey had his Geodude hurling boulders at Zubat. It was super effective and Zubat was defeated within one strike.
"Zubat, return," the Team Rocket Grunt called back his defeated Pokemon. "The Team Rocket Hideout might be discovered! I better tell Boss!" he fled.
Jeffrey discovered a switch underneath the poster and pressed it revealing stairs. He and his followers went downstairs into Team Rocket Hideout.
Jeffrey and his followers found themselves facing a horde of Team Rocket Grunts. "It's one of those troublemakers," said a Team Rocket Grunt.
"I can't believe he broke in."
"This is your warning, kid. Leave or we'll strike you down," a Team Rocket Grunt threatened Jeffrey. All the Team Rocket Grunts sent out Rattata, Raticate, Drowzee, Machop, Zubat, Koffing, Grimer, Sandshrew, Ekans, Sandslash, and Arbok.
"Come out, everyone," Jeffrey sent out Bulbasaur, Charmeleon, male Nidoran, Haunter, Paras, and Geodude. "This is like a monster house," he thought.
"Paras, Spore," Jeffrey had Paras scattering Spore putting all of Team Rocket's Pokemon to sleep. "Geodude, Rock Blast on the Zubat," he had his Geodude hurling boulders at Team Rocket's Zubat. "Bulbasaur, Razor Leaf on the Sandshrew and Sandslash," he had his Bulbasaur firing razor-sharp leaves from its bulb at the Sandshrew and Sandslash. "Haunter, Shadow Punch on Drowzee," he had his Haunter hurling punches at the Drowzee from the shadows. "Nidoran, Fury Attack on the Rattata," he had his Nidoran jabbing the Rattata with its horn. "Charmeleon, Flamethrower on the Raticate," he had his Charmeleon scorching the Raticate with a powerful stream of flames. Gardevoir and Celebi unleashed Psychic on Koffing, Grimer, Ekans, and Arbok. Pikachu let out a Thunderbolt on Team Rocket Grunts and their Pokemon creating an explosion sending them flying into the sky.
Jeffrey and his followers broke through the horde. However a familiar pair stood in his way, "Prepare for trouble."
"Make it double."
"To infect the world from devastation."
"To blight all peoples within our nation."
"To denounce the evils of truth and love."
"To extend our wrath to the stars above."
"Emma."
"Clarence."
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light."
"Surrender now or prepare to fight."
"Not you two again!" Jeffrey shouted.
"You escaped us before but not this time," said Emma.
"Wait, the other twerps were not with him," said Clarence.
"Forget it. Arbok, I choose you," Emma called out her own Arbok.
"Weepinbell, I choose you," Clarence sent out his plant Pokemon.
"Haunter, Shadow Punch on Arbok. Charmeleon, Flamethrower," Jeffrey ordered. His Haunter launched a punch from the shadows at Arbok while Charmeleon scorched Weepinbell with a powerful stream of flames. During the process, it was super effective and Weepinbell was defeated.
"Glare," Emma ordered.
"Dodge and use Night Shade," Jeffrey had his Haunter dodged the Glare and defeated Arbok with a set amount of damage.
Pikachu used Thunderbolt on the Team Rocket duo and their Pokemon. An explosion sent them flying causing them to shout out, "Team Rocket's blasting off again!"
Jeffrey and his followers made it to an area where a black-haired man wearing black outfit with a white shirt underneath. On the man's right side of the chest was the insignia of Team Rocket and there was a Pokemon in his lap. "So! I must say, I am impressed you got here. Team Rocket captures Pokemon from around the world. They're important tools for keeping our criminal enterprise going. I am the leader, Giovanni! For your insolence, you will feel a world of pain!" the man got off from his seat and the Pokemon got off. "Onix, I choose you," he sent out his first Pokemon.
"Bulbasaur, you're up," Jeffrey had his Bulbasaur ready.
"Bind," Giovanni ordered.
"Counter with Razor Leaf," Jeffrey ordered and his Bulbasaur fired razor-sharp leaves from its bulb at the Onix. It was super effective and Onix was defeated.
"Onix, return," Giovanni called back his defeated Pokemon. "Rhyhorn, you're up," he sent out his next PokeMon. "Scary Face," he ordered.
"Razor Leaf," Jeffrey had his Bulbasaur firing razor-sharp leaves from its bulb at the Rhyhorn. It was super effective and Rhyhorn was defeated.
"Rhyhorn, return," Giovanni called back his defeated Pokemon. "Persian, you're up," he called to the Pokemon that was next to him.
"Persian, the Classy Cat Pokemon, A Persian's six bold whiskers sense air movements to determine what is in its vicinity. It becomes docile if grabbed by the whiskers," Jeffrey checked his Pokedex.
"Bulbasaur, you take a break," Jeffrey had his Bulbasaur stepped out. "Transform," he took the form of a Machop.
"What? He's a Pokemon," Giovanni spoke with disbelief. "Pay Day," he ordered his pet.
Jeffrey dodged the coins hurled by Persian and gave it a Dynamic Punch sending it zooming. "Transform," he returned to human form.
"What! This can't be!" Giovanni spoke with disbelief and carried his defeated Pokemon. "I see that you raise Pokemon with utmost care. A child like you would never understand what I hope to achieve. I shall step aside this time! I hope we meet again …" he then disappeared.
"Jeffrey," it was Diane.
"Are you alright?" Misty asked.
"We heard Team Rocket shouting in the air," said Brock.
"Yeah, we're in Team Rocket's Hideout," Jeffrey shocking his fellow companions. "Let's get out of here," they left the hideout.
Back at the Pokemon Center, he told them everything.
"Great! We'll just have to give the tea to the guards after we get our next badge from this gym," said Diane.
"The Rocket Game Corner had Pokemon as prizes," Brock informed.
"We'll check them out tomorrow," said Jeffrey.
