Chapter 1: Teenage Mutant Ninja Squirtles to the Rescue!
The next evening, Ash, his Pikachu, Nancy the Ninetales, Ash's Latias, Hilda & her Zoroark and Cilan had finally arrived to New Tork City via train. They exited out of the train and began to leave the station. Nancy was carrying Pikachu. "Here we are guys. New Tork City," said Ash. "Pika," said Pikachu. "I can't wait to see what shopping malls there are," said Hilda. "I can't wait to try out food from some of the best restaurants," said Cilan. "I can't wait to visit the Pokémon Hills Nature Park," said Ash. "It would be nice to have a lovely vacation after Ash's recent victory at the Unova League," said Latias. "Yes. He and Pikachu also need a break from all those lovesick girl fans of theirs," said Zoroark. She let out a giggle. "You can say that again. I barely escaped that last mob without getting covered in kiss marks. Brock would be jealous of the attention I've been getting from the girls," said Ash. "I'm sure this vacation will quite a romantic one, wouldn't you say Pikachu?" asked Nancy. Pikachu blushed due to what Nancy said. She let out a giggle and gave Pikachu a big kiss on the cheek. The kiss left a pink kiss mark on Pikachu's cheek. Pikachu's eyes turned into pink hearts due to the kiss. "Pikaaaaaa," sighed Pikachu happily. Nancy giggled and wiped the kiss mark off.
Ash and his friends began to search for a hotel or a Pokémon Center to stay at. Just then, they saw a van parked outside of a small mall. "Huh?" asked Ash. Ash & co. approached the van and saw a red R symbol on the side of the van. "It's a Team Rocket van," said Hilda. "I think we better go check it out," said Ash. "We better be careful," said Latias. Ash and co. then entered the small mall and looked around a corner. They saw the owners of the van. There were two humans, whom both agents of Team Rocket. Both of them wore white & black uniforms with a red R on them. The first one was a woman named Jessie. She had dark purple hair & blue eyes and wore red lipstick and green earrings. Her hair was original a bright red until she fell into a vat full of permanent purple hair dye. Her face also had nasty scars from a Pokémon that attacked her a year and a half ago. And just about a few months ago, she lost her right leg, which was replaced with a prosthetic leg.
The second criminal was a man named James, who had blue hair & green eyes. Although, he had lost his left eye and now had to wear a patch over it. He lost that eye a year and a half ago. Just like Jessie, he also recently lost a limb, but it was his left arm instead of a leg. It was replaced with a prosthetic arm. With them was a male Pokémon with a feline appearance, resembling a small house cat. He stood on his hind legs. He had cream-colored fur, which turned brown at its paws and tail tip. His oval-shaped head featured four prominent whiskers, no nose, black-and-brown ears, and a glimmering gold oval coin (also known as a "charm") embedded in its forehead. He was capable of retracting the claws on its fore- and hind-paws and bringing them out again when needed. It was a Meowth, but it spoke english, with a Brooklyn accent. In addition, he had fake hands, which replaced his original ones after they were sliced off during the same attack that scarred Jessie's face and cost James his eye. In addition, he lost a limb around the same time Jessie and James each lost one. In his case, his tail was cut off and replaced with a fake one.
"It's Jessie, James and Meowth," whispered Ash. "Pi Pikachu," said Pikachu. "Not them again," mumbled Nancy. They also noticed they were fighting a girl about a year younger than Ash. She had dark skin, brown eyes and dark purple hair. She wore a cream top that had long loose sleeves with pink cuffs and a pink collar, a pink skirt with a large pink ribbon on the side. The pink ribbon was tied around her waist just like a normal cardigan would be. Also there was white and yellow leggings going over her knees, a pink backpack, pink and white shoes with yellow stripes and a yellow hair ribbon. She was using an Axew to fight Meowth. Axew was a bipedal, grayish-green Dragon-type Pokémon with pale, straight tusks protruding from the sides of its mouth. These tusks can regenerate if broken, and will regrow if they fall out. This repeated regrowth strengthens and sharpens its tusks. The tusks serve numerous purposes, from making territorial gashes in trees to crushing berries for eating. The back of its head was dark grayish-green with a tall, slightly curved horn. Large, dark grayish-green ovals surround its red eyes, and it has a short, rounded snout with large nostrils. A forest green collar marking encircled its neck. Axew's limbs and tail were short, with its forelimbs having three digits and its feet having two digits.
Meowth all of a sudden grabbed a stolen tennis racket and whacked Axew with it, sending him crashing into Iris. "Oof!" cried Iris as she got knocked down. "Lob fifteen!" said Meowth. "I'd say it's foul!" said Ash as he and his friends made themselves known. Pikachu fired an electrical attack that burned a hole in the racket. "Doh!" said Meowth. "Oh no!" said James. "Not those twerps again!" said Jessie. "What are you doing here?!" asked Meowth. "We were going to ask you the same thing!" said Cilan. "We were robbing these various stores while this mall is closed until that girl twerp decided to poke her nose in affairs that shouldn't concern her!" said Jessie. Iris turned to Ash & co. "I had everything under control!" said Iris. "Not from what we saw," said Hilda. "But since you're here, we might as well take Pikachu, Latias and Zoroark too!" said James. "There's no way we're surrendering ourselves to you!" snarled Zoroark. "Then we'll just have to use plain ol' force!" said Meowth. "But first, let's do the motto," said James.

"Prepare for trouble!" said Jessie. "Make it double!" said James. "To protect the world from devasta . . . ," said Jessie.

They were suddenly interrupted by Pikachu executing a Thunderbolt. "Pikachuuuuuuu!" said Pikachu, zapping them. Team Rocket screamed as they were getting shocked silly by Pikachu. "You know, you're motto has gotten annoying to the point that we don't want to hear it anymore!" said Ash. Just then, everybody heard some footsteps. It was several more Team Rocket agents. Unlike Jessie & James, they wore black uniforms with white boots & gloves along with black hats. "Uh-oh!" said Hilda. "We've got company!" cried Ninetales. "Look's like they brought help this time!" said Cilan. "But we've beaten impossible odds before and we can do it again!" said Ash. "Not this time! This time, your Pokémon are ours and there's nothing you can do about it!" said Meowth.
"Don't bet on it, you fleabag!" said a voice. "Huh?" asked Team Rocket. Suddenly, somebody leapt over Ash and his friends and toward the army of Team Rocket agents. It was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Squirtles!
(Insert "TMNT 90s Movie Theme")
"Hhhhhhhyyyyyyyaaaaaaahhhhhhh!" cried the TMNS. "WHAT THE?!" asked Team Pansies. They landed in between Ash & co. and the Team Rocket agents. Everybody's eyes widened at the sight of the TMNS. "If you want to get to these kids, you'll have to get through us!" said Leonardo. "Just who do you think you are?!" asked a female agent. "We're the Teenage Mutant Ninja Squirtles," said Donatello. "And you're about to suffer a serious butt kicking!" said Raphael.
Then, the TMNS charged at Team Rocket Agents and the fight began. Some of the Team Rocket Grunts began to flee. "Hey, where are you going?!" asked Jessie. "Come back you cowards!" said James. "They're just a bunch of Squirtles!" cried Meowth. Leonardo kicked Meowth, knocking him down. "Awesome!" said Leonardo. Raphael kicked another T.R. Grunt. "Wicked!" said Raphael. Donatello kicked one of the other Pokémon thieves down to the ground. "Eclectic!" said Donatello. "Eclectic? Jeez!" said Michelangelo. But then, one of the Team Rocket agents punched Michelangelo, knocking him down. "Oops," said Donatello.
Ash and his friends were shocked at what they were witnessing. "I must be dreaming," said Iris, rubbing her eyes. Suddenly, Raphael put a sheet over Iris. "Hey!" cried Iris. Raphael began to carry the purple-haired girl toward a trash can. Despite being smaller than Iris, Raphael was pretty strong. "Let me go! What are you doing?" asked Iris. "Sorry, kid. It's for your own good," said Raphael as he stuffed Iris into the trashcan. "Let me out of here!" said Iris as she struggled to get out of the sheet. She peeked her head out of the trashcan.
"Those Squirtles are huge! They're about the size of six year old children!" said Ash. "Wow! They're making fools out of Team Rocket!" said Cilan. "Should we help them?" asked Hilda. "Nah. Let's see what these guys can do. I think they've got this battle in the bag," said Ash, grinning. "Hey! Is anybody going to help me out?!" asked Iris. But Ash and his friends paid no attention to Iris. They were too busy watching the TMNS fight Team Rocket. Raphael kicked yet another T.R. Grunt. One of them grabbed him by the shell. But he counteracted by kicking the Pokémon thief in the face, causing him to let go. "Yeah!" said Raphael.
Donatello was twirling a rope while fighting the Team Rocket Grunt he was occupied with in a sporting goods store. The Team Rocket Grunt was armed with a bowling pin. "Get along there, little doggie!" said Donatello. He whipped the T.R. Agent in the butt. "Rawhide! Robocop! Come on!" said Donatello. The Team Rocket Grunt swung at Donatello, but he missed. Then, Donatello grabbed the Pokémon thief by the leg and threw him to the ground. He then tied up the T.R. Grunt's legs to his hands. He also tied the bowling pin to his feet and hands as well. "Yee-haw!" said Donatello. He then imitated spinning revolvers like a cowboy. "Ninja cowboy!" said Donatello. Donatello then pretended as if he put his guns in some holsters.
Michelangelo was fighting a female Team Rocket Grunt in a toy store. He kicked the female thief in the face. Then, he saw more Team Rocket Grunts coming at him. "Oh, you dudes and dudettes wanna play too?" asked Michelangelo. Then, Michelangelo got out a yo-yo and bonked one of the thieves with it. A group of four T.R. Grunts surrounded the tiny turtle Pokémon. "Wait, wait, wait, wait! Check this!" said Michelangelo. He then began to do the walk the dog trick with the yo-yo. "Walk the dog! That's pretty good, huh?" asked Michelangelo. The Ninja Squirtle retracted the yo-yo. "And then . . . around the world!" said Michelangelo. He twirled the yo-yo, which bonked all four Team Rocket Agents. Some of their hats fell off too.
Leonardo was fighting a Team Rocket Grunt in a clothing store. The lead Ninja Squirtle was armed with his katanas. "Hey, hey! Now you see the, now you don't!" said Leonardo. He threw the katanas up in the air and they stuck to the ceiling. He jumped and grabbed onto the katanas handles. When he jumped out of the way, another Team Rocket agent accidentally hit the one Leonardo was facing earlier. "Missed!" said Leonardo. Then, Leonardo kicked the other Team Rocket grunt. He also fired a couple of water gun attacks as well. Donatello was fooling around with a punch clown in the toy store. "Yeah. Yeah, yeah," said Donatello. One of the female Team Rocket grunts came into the toy store. Donatello was posing as the punch clown. He wobbled back and forth. Then, he tapped the Team Rocket Grunt. Donatello chuckled. "Yeah!" said Donatello as he took out a foam bat. He began to whack the Team Rocket Grunt with it. Then, he threw the bat into the Team Rocket Grunt's hands. "Roar!" said Donatello, showing sharp teeth. The Team Rocket Grunt yelped and began to run away from Donatello. "Roar!" said Donatello as he chased after the Pokémon thief.
Raphael kicked a Team Rocket Agent, knocking him into the trash can that Iris was stuffed in. This caused the trash can to tip over. But Iris was still stuck. She groaned in annoyance. Now the only Team Rocket agents left to deal with were Jessie, James, Meowth and one last grunt. Michelangelo was fighting Meowth and the grunt near a counter where food was sold at. The grunt tired to punch Michelangelo, but he missed. "Ha, ha! Missed me!" said Michelangelo as he climbed onto a counter. He kicked the grunt onto the ground. Meowth came at Michelangelo, but he kicked him. But the impact caused Michelangelo to fall behind the counter. "Whoa!" cried Michelangelo.
But then, Michelangelo came back up and grabbed Meowth by the neck with some sausage links. "Ah-ha! The missing link!" cried Michelangelo. He pulled Meowth behind the counter. "Help!" cried Meowth. Jessie and James went near the counter and saw Michelangelo fighting Meowth. By now, the flesh on Jessie's fake leg was mostly gone. "You wanna pickle? I'll give you a pickle!" said Michelangelo. Michelangelo laughed as he continued to beat up Meowth. Meowth then leapt and jumped onto James' arm. "That Squirtle's crazy!" cried Meowth. Michelangelo jumped back onto the counter and he grabbed two sausage links. "Combat cold cuts! Yaaa!" cried Michelangelo. He charged at Jessie, James and Meowth. Michelangelo began to do some nunchaku moves with the sausages. After some showing off, he did a battle cry as he charged at the three Team Rocket agents. The Team Rocket trio screamed and began to run for it. "Let's get out of here!" cried Meowth. They were chased out of the mall. "Look's like Team Rocket's Torchicing out again!" cried Team Rocket. "And next time, I'll use mustard!" said Michelangelo, throwing the sausages as Team Rocket ran off. Michelangelo just chuckled.
(End Music)
Michelangelo and his three brothers turned to Ash and his friends. They were laughing at how the TMNS made fools out of Team Rocket. "Hey. Hey dudes and dudettes," said Michelangelo. He walked over to Iris. "Give me your hand. Come on," said Michelangelo. He helped Iris out of the trash can and back onto her feet. "Who, what, where, huh?" asked Iris. "Well, that leaves out 'why' and 'when,' doesn't it?" asked Donatello. "Yeah! It's a good thing we saw you coming in here from the roof . . . ," said Michelangelo, but he was interrupted when Leonardo kicked him. "Ow," said Michelangelo. "Hey, Mikey!" said Leonardo. "I mean from across the str . . . ow!" cried Michelangelo as Raphael dope slapped him. "That was totally awesome!" said Ash. "Pikachu," said Pikachu. "How'd you get so big?" asked Hilda. "Look, kids, we'd like to answer your questions, but our dinner's in about fifteen minutes. You can help out by finding a phone and call the police. Are you okay? We'll start tying them up," said Raphael. "Okay," said Ash. Ash and his friends then went to find the nearest phone. "Come on," said Leonardo. And he and his three brothers began to do their work.
Ash and his friends found a phone and called the police. "Okay, just hurry up. There's a ton of these guys. Okay, bye," said Ash. And he hung the phone. "They're on their way," said Ash. Ash and his friends started to walk back to the mall. "I can't believe you did nothing to help me out of that trash can," complained Iris. "What? I was enjoying the sight of Team Rocket getting their butts kicked by those Squirtles," said Ash. "Yeah. I especially loved how that one in orange used sausages as nunchakus," said Hilda. "You're such kids," said Iris. "Those are big words coming from a kid who's even more immature," retorted Hilda. Iris groaned in annoyance. Then, Ash and co. saw that all of the defeated Team Rocket Grunts were all tied up and piled on top of each other. One of them was even hung from the ceiling by his belt. "Wow. They're good," said Latias. "Come on. Let's find a hotel or Pokémon Center to stay at," said Ash. "Right," said his friends. And Ash and the group went on their way, leaving the defeated Team Rocket Grunts for the police. Iris went a different path since she wasn't a member of Ash's group.
Even though I said I wasn't going to adapt "Secret of the Ooze" until after I finish this fanfic, I decided to adapt the beginning fight cause I figured that would be the best way for Ash & co. to meet the TMNS. Keno won't show up in adaptation of "Secret of the Ooze", so Ash and co. will fill his role. There will be flashbacks in later stories to explain how Team Rocket got their fake limbs and scars. Next chapter, due to being humiliated by our half shelled heroes, Jessie, James and Meowth's credibility in Giovanni's eyes is about to take a turn for the worse . . .
