I am on a ROLL with these updates! So many things are going through my head that I have to write them down quickly before I forget them all! (which has happened plenty of times in the past mind you). Well, first off, I'd like to thank KrazyKat101 for the typo catch in the last chapter, I accidentally said POV instead of POW, (something I did because I was talking to someone at the same time, and inadvertently typed it since I said it). Unfortunately, for some reason, I am unable to go back to chapters and fix mistakes that either I or readers catch after they're posted. This is why no mistakes have been corrected in the older chapters. Figures. -_- But at least you're aware of it now, so my apologies to them. Anyway, let's continue!

-EVAN AAML

Eli walked with a slow pace, yet with long strides. He stood tall, despite his age and apparent struggles with moving. He seemed to be suffering from some kind of arthritis, since he would occasionally rub his hands or mumble to himself over pain. Yet despite this, he refused to let it stop him. He was a man who didn't like to stop, didn't like resting. Eli had to be always doing something. His Pokemon walked by his side, but gave him space. They respected the man, much like any Pokemon did their trainers. But these Pokemon had been his partners for many years, longer than the Rocket takeover, and longer than most of them had even been around. They were family.

Angel looked on with admiration. She had never had a chance to meet her grandparents, all of them had been deceased since before she was born. Unfortunately Angel was part of a very small family. Her parents had no siblings, and so she had no aunts, uncles, or cousins to hang out with. Her parents were also unfamiliar with their own cousins, and so she didn't know them. However, Angel would often come to work with her mother, and Celadon, being a female only gym, had a lot of young girls who were friends with her. Angel got to know them as if they were her own aunts, some would even visit their home or give her gifts on holidays. She also got to hang out with their children, although this was a rare occurrence. And she had not seen nor heard from either her mom's friends or their children since she left home.

But seeing Eli, for the few minutes she had known him, reminded her of what it would be like to have a grandfather. She wondered if Riles, Trent, or Michael saw him in this way as well; probably not.

"So Eli, what's your story? How did you come to get in the PTA as their quarter master?", Riles asked causally. Angel listened in, curious as well.

"Yeah, and how come barely anyone here ever sees you?", Michael threw in. He was less interested than the others, but his curiosity got the better of him. He walked with his arms crossed behind his head, as usual. Eli chuckled a bit, not turning his head to glance at them.

"Well, it's not as glamorous as your stories are I'm sure, but I'll fill you in. Years ago I used to run the Mart here in Pallet Town. It was a lot smaller than the Marts you see around Kanto, since beginner trainers didn't need as many Pokemon supplies, and as you could imagine Pallet Town gets few visitors. But I had run that store for many many years. Well, when Team Rocket took over, I knew that we were all in for some tough times ahead. They came to town during the initial takeover and started running things. Prof. Oak took the worst of it, but the other store owners around here weren't sparred. They saw me as too old and decided to kick me out of my own store", ELi explained. The others seemed shocked and annoyed.

"How could they?", Angel asked, disappointed.

"Pft, figures, damn Rockets", Michael said agitated at them. Eli nodded.

"Exactly. Well luckily I had a young intern at the time, so he took over and still runs the place. Well anyway, I was left without a job, and as you can imagine, I didn't have a lot of money to begin with. Ash was a kid who grew up here in Pallet Town, so as to be expected, I knew him for a long time. He and Gary, Prof. Oak's grandson, gave me a job here as their quarter master, since I was familiar with the trade anyway. And, I've been here ever since", Eli explained.

"But that doesn't explain why no one ever sees you around", Trent said.

"Well, it's not like I live down here in this old warehouse now is it?", Eli asked, with a chuckle. "I go outside a lot actually, take nice walks around town, say hello to the people around here I've lived with for years. But obviously with the way things are around here, there's a need for secrecy and privacy. So I make sure I'm not seen a lot. I'm not as young as I used to be, harder for me to run and hide or defend myself".

"Doesn't seem like it, you seem to be a very good Pokemon trainer", Riles said, noting his two Pokemon with him. They seemed pleased with the compliment. Eli nodded with approval, looking at his old friends.

"Yes, I've been with these guys for, my goodness I can't even keep track anymore. They're not my only Pokemon of course, I've been a trainer for many, many years. In fact, I used to travel with the Professor back in the day!", Eli said. This seemed to catch the group's attention even more so.

"Really? What was it like back then?", Angel asked. Her curiosity over the past seemed overwhelming, especially over the days before Team Rocket. People now a days, even though they knew well enough what it was like before Team Rocket, were afraid of talking about it. Team Rocket taught their own things in the schools, things that involved how they came to power in a legal and desired way by the masses. They taught everything they wanted them to know, and made sure no one decided any different. Scholars, doctors, teachers, trainers, historians. Anyone with knowledge of the past and loose lips tended to disappear rather quickly and effectively. This also silenced those who would think otherwise.

"It was a much different time my dear, even compared to the peaceful times we once had. My, I don't think I would live long enough to tell you about it all!", Eli joked with a chuckle. This made the others a bit nervous. They felt awkward over the discussion of death, especially knowing that so many of their much younger friends had not had the chance to experience their lives as long as Eli had. "Things were older, people were older, it was old school really. There wasn't such advanced technology as there is today, there were much less Pokemon known to us in those times. Things like space travel, flying without Pokemon...war. They weren't possible in our minds. My, if we had just a glimpse of what the future was like back then".

Eli seemed to like reminiscing over the past, as he smiled greatly and almost seemed sad that those days were over. As many older people were, they loved to talk about the past, especially since Team Rocket seemed to take away their right to speak about it. It made them want to more. It was apparent that Eli didn't have a family, and being hidden from everyone gave him even less people to talk to.

"Were they a lot more peaceful?", Angel asked. Eli smiled, glancing back to her finally.

"Oh yes dear...much more peaceful. Back then, our biggest arguments were over who would win in the different Pokemon Leagues that year. Pokemon battles were much bigger back then. Obviously we didn't have television to watch it at home, everyone had to come and see it, or hear about the results afterwards in the news. Back then they didn't have the big stadiums they have now. They held them in the open in the biggest cities at the time. Saffron, Celadon, and Vermilion were popular choices. It wasn't until years later, when I was an adult, that they made the Indigo Plateau. But as for peace...yes, they were peaceful times. No one ever fought in violence. People everywhere were kind, they helped one another in anyway they could. Much like the people here in Pallet do", Eli explained with vivid detail.

Angel immediately reflected back to when she had first arrived in Pallet, with Ash at her side. The people were so kind to her, waving, smiling, as if nothing bad was going on. Pallet Town was an "old school" town. She could see why Eli stayed here all his life.

"But yes, me and the Professor traveled together back then. We had left together with a group of friends actually. Pallet Town didn't have a lot of children, as to be expected. The people here were older, as they are now. Kids moved and grew their families elsewhere. But it just so happened at my time that most of the kids all turned ten at the same time. And so, we all had our own Pokemon to choose from, we weren't limited to just a mere Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle in those times, and we all set off on our journeys. We were all friends then, and we had decided to travel together as a group. And boy, did we have our fair share of adventures", Eli said with a smile.

"How many were there, with you and the professor?", Michael asked.

"Oh, about six or seven of us. Let's see, there was me of course, the professor, Samuel is his name, he was like, the leader of the group really, intelligent too as you can imagine. Then there was this girl named Claire; she was a beautiful young blonde haired girl. She could have a fiery temper, but helped us when she could. Then there was Tyson, he was a big kid, could be rough at times but he always meant well. There was also a kid named Fred, he was the son of the professor at the time, Cypress. Now Cypress was a nice man, but stern, and believed that Fred should take over the lab when he was done. Fred however had no interest, which is why he joined us. And of course there was Vail, he was the loudmouth of the group, impatient at times too. He was always worth a laugh though, and he was smart too, good doctor. Uhm, let's see...there was also another girl named Erin, really shy girl, but god she had the greatest heart of us all, always full of spirit and virtue. She did the right thing every time, and went out of her way to protect and help everyone. Much like Ash. But that's no surprise, since she was Ash's grandmother. That made, seven of us, correct?", Eli explained. This stunned the others greatly. They all stopped walking in shock.

"ASH'S GRANDMOTHER?", they all exclaimed. Eli stopped walking, as did his Pokemon, and turned to face them. He nodded.

"Yes, Ash's grandmother, his mother's mother", Eli stated, as if it wasn't as shocking as they made it out to be.

"Ash never really talked about his grandmother", Angel said.

"I'd imagine so, he didn't really know her well", Eli said.

"And you all traveled together when you were younger?", Trent asked. Eli nodded.

"Yes, for awhile at least. We all went to the gyms, defeated the leaders, and all of us made it to the Pokemon League that very same year in fact! All of us did well in our own right. We were all extremely skilled and powerful trainers, but caring to our Pokemon. But, in the end, we all ended up getting defeated one by one. None of us made it to the final eight. We were all saddened, but our families and friends told us we did our best, and that we shouldn't let it stop us. We were inspired, and continued our journey", Eli said.

"Did you always stay together? Until you stopped traveling?", Angel asked. She was loving the conversation.

"No, unfortunately not. As we got older, we felt that our destinies were changing, and that we should go on our own. Oh dear, the day when we all said our goodbyes, it still brings me to tears...forgive me", Eli said. He was clearly having difficulty discussing over the matter. He pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and dabbed at his eyes. Angel felt terrible, once again her curiosity caused pain to someone. "But yes, we all went our separate ways, deciding that we would always be friends, and that we would always be in each other's hearts. We went to the different regions at the same time, and occasionally we ran into each other one way or another, but we didn't travel in a big group like that again. Not until our final horah anyway". He laughed at this statement with a smile on his face.

"We were getting older, and we knew that we couldn't do this forever. And so, we met back up in Pallet, where our journey began. We were all in our twenties by then. And we decided, to have one last journey together, just like when we started. We went through the same gyms again, fought the same leaders, and once again, made it to that year's Pokemon League. Only this time, things turned out much differently".

"What happened?", Michael asked. Eli gleamed.

"Us seven made it to the top eight, all of us. We were so far superior to the other trainers, my goodness. We were all favorites", Eli said with laughter. He enjoyed the story even more than the others were. "But, due to the few numbers, it meant that we had no choice but to battle each other. We knew that it would happen eventually. We were prepared for it. And so, one by one again, we were knocked off".

"How did you do Eli? Did you win?", Angel asked with excitement. Eli laughed.

"Haha, goodness no. I wasn't as good back then as I am now. But, I did make it to the final four. Samuel took me out of the tournament. He was the one who won it all in the end", Eli exclaimed. He then seemed to halt his story. It was as if he had just remembered something, and it seemed to change the personality of the story. "Then, of course, afterwards we all went on with our lives". The way he said this however scared the others.

"Why...what happened to everyone Eli?", Riles asked. He seemed cautious to ask. If times were truly as peaceful as he said, then they should of been safe, unless time took them from this world. But he wanted to make certain. Eli sighed and looked of to the ceiling, as if he was looking through it and to the sunny, cloud filled sky.

"Well, we had all decided to retire after that get together, something we planned from the beginning. Claire and Tyson ended up getting married, they always had something between them, even when we first traveled. We all knew it. Well they moved to Vermilion and raised a family. They both passed on years back, before the takeover fortunately. Not sure how their kids and grandchildren are, I've lost touch with them. Vail got a job at Saffron as a Pokemon trainer commentator for the tournaments and league battles they had there. He eventually worked at the Indigo Plateau when it was built. He was finally able to put his loud mouth and funny skills to use. But, not surprisingly, he lost his job when Team Rocket took over the league. He wasn't happy about it, but he was too old to do much. He retired here in Pallet and died a few years ago", Eli explained.

The kids listened on. They were saddened to hear that all of his childhood friends were long gone, but they remained quiet as he continued.

"Fred, now he didn't do as his father wanted, he had no interest in being a Pokemon professor. Him and his dad got into some heated arguments over it, but they settled their differences over the years. He became a teacher at the Pokemon Academy, taught Pokemon fighting and proper training. He never considered it teaching really. He was doing what he loved. He retired just before the Rocket takeover, but he didn't know what would come next, with the schools being taken over. He unfortunately had a heart attack just a year later. And so, that left the three of us. Samuel, Erin, and myself. We all returned to Pallet Town and stayed there for our lives. As you know, Samuel became the next professor here in Pallet, and I took over the Mart", Eli explained.

"And Erin? What about Ash's grandmother?", Angel asked.

"Well, as to be expected, she met someone, fell in love, got married, and had Ash's mother; Delia. Delia grew up in the house they live in now, although it looked a bit different back then. As a favor, Professor Oak allowed her to be an intern at his lab. But she always stayed close by Delia. Her parents were getting older and having trouble taking care of themselves, so Delia was always there to lend a hand. Her parents both passed away peacefully just before Delia found her husband. And so, that left me, and Samuel, the professor", Eli explained.

Eli then stopped walking and looked around. He chuckled slightly. The others, who were unaware of why he was chuckling, looked around as well. They had made it all the way to the end of the warehouse by the time he had finished his story. The boxes here were not stacked up nearly as high as they were in the front of the room. The majority of these crates, like the one Michael looked through earlier, were Rocket crates. Most weren't open. Eli turned around and looked at the kids.

"Well, in all the fun we were having, we didn't realize that we reached the crates I need to look through. Why don't you help me go through these, and we'll see what we have for the attack", Eli said. The others all nodded in agreement.

As Angel and the others began to look through the crates, back in the meeting room, things were finally beginning to fall in place. Although limited in what they could plan, they were setting things up for the attack. With the EMP bomb a major possibility now, they were beginning to decide what to do once the base was running on backup power.

"Alright, so we have to have Onix place the bomb under the Rocket base for it to be the most effective. And according to Evan, it shouldn't sound off the seismographs", Brock said. The others nodded.

"I can already see a problem with that", Dawn said. Everyone looked to her. "The EMP bomb, will it be able to work if it's entirely underground?". Brian seemed a bit shocked at the question. He actually did not even know. There was no record of an EMP burst working from underground, but that's because no one had tried it. He tried to think it through his head.

"I...I don't know. It's never been done before from underground. There's no telling if it will work", Brian said. The others sighed heavily. They thought they had something going with the bomb, now there's a chance that it might not even work the way they had hoped it to.

"Then there's nothing we can do, we have to make sure the bomb has access to the base physically", Ash said.

"Then there's the chance of them seeing the bomb!", Brian remarked.

"He's right. If they get their hands on it they could dismantle it before it can go off", Drew said.

"Maybe...", May said. Drew looked to her, wondering what she was going to say. "Maybe, all we need is a distraction", May said.

"Like what? I don't see what could distract them more than a giant hole in the ground, kind of hard to miss", Nick said.

"I think I know what she means", Sawyer said. Nick seemed skeptical over it all, but listened regardless. "May...do you mean, have someone intentionally get caught by Team Rocket?".

Everyone in the room became uneasy over the idea. They knew that, especially after the New Island attack, Team Rocket would not be so caring if they captured a PTA rebel. More than likely, whomever was this "distraction" would not come out alive. May looked to Sawyer and nodded slowly, she was right.

"You know, that if someone were to do that, they would probably die, right?", Darrel said. May looked to Darrel now, with a serious expression.

"...I know", May said. She looked down at the table. "When we were on New Island, we...lost a lot of lives. Despite our efforts, despite us trying as hard as we could to save everyone, we couldn't. I myself, almost didn't make it back alive". She looked at her chest, looking at the gun wound she had endured. She knew what it was like to have a close call. But even she didn't know what it would be like to lose a life. "We're so close to victory, we can literally taste it. We're already talking about what we're going to do once all of this is over. So that brings up the question...can we afford not to do something like this?". The others were silent.

"...She may have a point", Catie stated. She had been relatively quiet throughout the entire meeting. She was merely filling in for Wallace, she didn't have much experience in battle plans or anything of the like. She was only there to talk about the injured and when they would be active again. But even she knew the desperation they were in. "I refuse to accept the idea that we should sacrifice our allies for our cause...but when it comes right down to it, will that be our only option?".

"...I'll do it", Brian stated. Everyone looked to him with shock. He was in serious thought the entire time they were discussing the topic. He knew more than anyone how the bomb would work, and when it would go off. He knew what needed to be done to allow it time to detonate. Who better than him then to distract the Rockets in just the right amount of time? He looked up to the others, who all stared at him with shock. "Yeah, I'll do it. I have an idea of how to distract the Rockets. I don't intend to just let them kill me after all. But, if you guys need a distraction, I can do it", Brian said.

"What's your idea to distract them?", Ash asked. It was clear he did not support anyone in sacrificing themselves. He had always opposed that idea, and never wanted to see it happen. But he was still curious as to what Brian was thinking of.

"Well, when they catch me, if they don't kill me instantly that is, I can make like I know things. You know as well as I do that Team Rocket will do anything to get information on us. It's obvious they don't have a lot, otherwise we wouldn't all be here right now would we? So, if I act like I know a lot about the PTA, they won't kill me. They'll just question me. If that happens, then it should be a good enough distraction to allow the bomb to go off. All you guys have to do then is find me and get me out of there in time", Brian said.

"Ash...what do you think?", Misty asked. She knew that Ash would not like the idea very well, she knew Ash better than anyone, and knew that he would not go for this without thinking it through well. Ash sat there in silence. He was thinking it through. The rebels, not knowing Ash before the Rocket takeover, thought that this was Ash's personality. This was who he was. But the region leaders, the people who had been friends with Ash for nearly all of their lives, they knew better. They knew that Ash was not the thinking type. He acted on instinct, on principle. He always knew in his heart was what right. If he was thinking something through, then it was serious. Ash eventually looked up.

"...I think there should be at least two others with you", Ash finally said. This caused even more shock from the group.

"What? You want to endanger even more people?", Nick asked, somewhat angrily. Sawyer tried to calm him down. She knew how into this Nick could get. "Why would you want to risk even more lives than we need to? I don't even want to risk one, let alone three!". Ash could tell that Nick was angry. He was not someone to always be this way, but he believed strongly in the PTA, and after Ian's death, he was extremely protective of other people's lives. Ash knew this, but also knew what was at stake.

"I know Nick. I'm not taking this lightly, believe me. But if one person can distract Team Rocket for a little bit, three people should be able to do it even longer. If there's a way that all three people can pretend that they have information, then Team Rocket will keep them all alive for questioning. The more people there are, the longer they can distract them, and the easier it will be to allow the EMP bomb to detonate before they find it. I know that their lives are at stake Nick. I don't intend to let them, or anyone get killed", Ash said. Nick sighed. He knew that it wasn't a promise that he could keep, no one in their right mind would keep a promise like that for something this big. But at least Ash was thinking it out. And, despite not wanting to admit to it, he knew that Ash had a point. Ash then turned and looked to Darrel.

"Darrel?", Ash said. Darrel looked to Ash and nodded.

"Yeah sir?", Darrel said.

"You took command of the distraction unit back on New Island correct?", Ash said. Darrel nodded.

"Yes sir, after the two previous commanders were killed", Darrel said. He at first thought that Ash would want him to accompany Brian with the EMP bomb. Him being in the distraction unit however did not make him good at being a distraction. He was a fighter, not a talker. Ash nodded.

"Good, then I'm promoting you to field general. You're going to lead the main charge when we attack the base", Ash said. This took the others, but Darrel mostly, by shock.

"Sir?", Darrel asked, as if making sure he knew what he was talking about.

"Brock told me how you managed the entire squadron when you were under attack, and how you helped them out when they needed it most. Plus you were a great help in the escape. I know you're up to the task Darrel, don't let me down", Ash said. Darrel didn't know what to say. He had never anticipated to become a leader in any sense of the word. When he joined the PTA, he did so to fight for peace. He never considered himself a leader, but Ash however saw him as one, and he wasn't going to let him down. Darrel nodded.

"Alright, you got it dog", Darrel said. He was honored. Brian gave Darrel a high five in congratulations while Catie gave him a pat on the back.

"So, we have Evan on the hill side giving cover fire when needed, we have Brian with two others delivering the EMP bomb and distracting the Rockets long enough to allow it to go off. Darrel will lead the main assault on the base, which will be a frontal assault once the power is gone. Then, what we'll do is have a group come down from the ceiling. I don't think there will be nearly as much resistance from the upper three levels, if they're more for show like Emily said. However, if Giovanni's office is really there, then that's what we'll go for. I'll be in charge of this group myself, with Misty of course. We'll take down Giovanni and then help with the fight. Aleksi", Ash said. Aleksi looked to him. "You're coming with me. Milo will too, I told him that I'd bring him along on the next mission and I intend to keep my word. Angel can as well. Once Giovanni is gone we'll head down to the lower levels and free the captured. I'm sure Milo and Angel will love that". Aleksi smiled. She was glad to be able to physically help save the prisoners. Being with Angel when she saved her parents was also a major plus.

"Catie, you said Ryoto would make it out of recovery no problem, but when will that be exactly?", Ash asked. Catie thought for a bit. She did not personally work on Ryoto, she had been instructed by Wallace to focus more on the other rebels and let the surgeons work on the critically injured. She was however told most everything she needed to know for the meeting by Wallace himself.

"It depends on how he's feeling. You know he's stubborn. He could be walking around later today. But he's not supposed to be moving until at least tomorrow, or the day after", Catie said. Ash nodded.

"Alright. But how will he be for the attack?", Ash asked.

"He should be fine. Still achy I'm sure, but he should be good to go", Catie explained. Ash nodded.

"Good, he'll join me too. He should know his way around the base well, and we could use his skills. When the power is out and Darrel leads the frontal assault, we'll use a flying Pokemon to get to the roof of the building and then head straight to Giovanni's office. Evan, you have to stay on the hillside and give us cover. If you see anything coming towards us, take care of the problem", Ash said. Evan nodded.

"No problem. I'll clear the path for you", Evan said. Ash nodded.

"What about Mathinza? He's a sniper too", Dawn said. Ash looked to Dawn.

"No, I already have a plan with Mathinza. He's going to join you and your own group on a different assault", Ash said. Dawn seemed confused. Ash leaned over and pointed to the map Emily drew. "We're going to go from the top, Brian and his small group from the bottom, and Darrel will lead the assault at the front. Dawn, what I want you to do is go from the side here. Our spies have found a heavily guarded door here that leads to the lower levels. When the attack begins, the guards will surely leave their posts to defend the base. I want you to go down these levels and look for the prisoners. You'll be the closest to them, and I want you to ensure that they're safe", Ash said.

"Understood. But what would this have to do with Mathinza?", Dawn asked.

"His Pokemon. This is going to be stealth here. your group will be small, and will sneak through the base without being noticed. His Umbreon and Espeon are good with hiding him, they can hide your entire group and get you through the base", Ash said. Dawn nodded.

"Alright, we'll do that", Dawn said with confidence. Ash nodded.

"Good. However, you need to be careful", Ash said. Dawn knew this, but there seemed to be more to this than he let on.

"Why?", Dawn asked.

"Misty told me that Butch, Cassidy, and this other Rocket leader Calamity Jane escaped New Island. They're sure to be stationed at the base since Giovanni will certainly be more cautious. Not to mention the other Rocket commanders that will surely be there. If you see them...take them out", Ash said. Dawn nodded. Her small group was more than just a small rescue party. They were going to be an assassination group. That's why the secrecy was so important to their group. Ryoto was needed for capturing Giovanni, otherwise he would be with her as well.

"Brock, you, May, and Drew will take the back here, where they drop off the deliveries. That way, we'll have the base surrounded. We'll all work on the upper levels first, and then work our way down. Brian, we'll be sure to get you and the others out of there as quickly as we can", Ash reassured Brian. He nodded, understanding.

"What about the base?", Gary asked. "Who's going to stay behnd and watch over it?".

"My mom and your grandpa did a good job of it while we were gone, so they could possibly do it again. If not, then you, Tracy, or even Max could watch over it", Ash decided. Although Gary was more than willing, Max seemed to be less enthused.

"Aww! But I want to go on the mission with you guys!", Max said. May shook her head.

"No Max, it's too dangerous. You almost got killed when you were just on a boat miles away from danger, god knows what could happen if you went on this attack", May said, showing obvious concern for her little brother. Max was still however annoyed. He crossed his arms.

"Hmph, you guys never let me go on any missions", Max said. Gary sighed.

"Don't worry Max, you'll still be helping out from here. Giving aid through communication and making sure everything is going according to plan. People can help without having to fight", Gary explained. Ash nodded.

"He's right", Ash said. Max sighed, defeated. He knew that, despite being a Pokemon trainer now, he still was not ready to take on Rockets. He was still learning what it meant to be a trainer. Unlike Angel, who had been on the run for years and learned how to battle to survive, Max had always been in the PTA. Although he occasionally trained, him and his Pokemon never got the real experience that they needed to battle. He was always working in the lab and never saw much action. The close call on Blaine's boat was the furthest he's ever gotten to a real fight in the war.

"What about equipment? What do we have to use for the fight?", Evan asked. Ash looked over to him.

"I was going to check on that myself, but we had the meeting earlier than anticipated. So I asked Angel to run that errand for me. A few days ago another one of our bases captured a entire shipment of supplies headed for Team Rocket base. It was just delivered here a few days before the New Island attack. Angel will see what we got and report back to me. It could be anything from weapons to food to medical aid. I also had her go and deliver the flashdrive May got on New Island to our data keeper. When she's finished, we'll know what Team Rocket had on us, and what we can get on them", Ash explained.

Three chapters done within less than two weeks! Wow! Well anyway, not much to report here. I do hope you all enjoyed the frequent updates! Once again, I apologize if there are any mistakes, I tried all of my older equipment to see if they were working again, and unfortunately they're not. I wish this site kept the spell check that was programmed into it. (sigh). But, I can't do anything about that. Please be sure to F.A.R.! Oh, and I will also be updating "The Alphabet Game" and POSSIBLY "Christmas The Sequel" soon, so keep an eye out for those as well! Farewell!

sincerely,
