Jessie, James and Meowth sat in the living room. Delia and Mimey had go off to do laundry. Ash and Pikachu sat nearby.
"So...where do we go?" asked Jessie.
"Hoenn and Sinnoh were up for discussion." answered James.
"Both great regions." shrugged Ash.
"We tried to escape there, but Team Rocket almost caught us." explained Meowth.
"You can go there now." said Ash.
"There's no chance they won't find us." sighed Jessie.
"You'll be fine with the cops looking after you." stated Ash.
"Team Rocket has ways." replied James.
"Looker is International Police. They're big time." noted Ash.
"Won't stop Team Rocket." sighed Meowth.
"You're be under witness protection." said Ash.
"Team Rocket will still find us." said Jessie.
"Okay, you got cut this self-pity crap!" declared Ash.
"Easy for you to say!" spat Jessie.
"You'll never succeed if you keep putting yourself down!" exclaimed Ash.
"We've always done that!" exclaimed James.
"And I've always beaten you!" cried Ash.
"He's got us there." muttered Meowth.
"Don't support him!" snapped James.
Jessie slams her hand down.
"We don't need you pitying us!" declared Jessie.
"I'm helping you!" screamed Ash.
The group was interrupted by a whistle.
"Enough!" declared Delia.
Everyone stopped to look at Delia.
"Listen, this fighting won't get us anywhere!" exclaimed Delia.
"But..." began Jessie.
"No buts!" snapped Delia.
"Mom..." began Ash.
"I don't want to hear from you either mister." stated Delia.
Jessie, James and Meowth snickered.
"You need to work together." stated Delia.
Nobody talked.
"Okay, we're figure this out." said Delia.
Delia turned to Jessie, James and Meowth.
"You mentioned enjoying Alola." noted Delia.
"Nobody would hurt you guys if Bewear was around." joked Ash.
"You know, he's probably right." mused James.
"Yeah, Bewear would crush anyone that tried to hurt us." agreed Meowth.
"Ask Pheromosa." replied Ash.
"Works for me." shrugged Meowth.
"Me too." agreed James.
The two looked at Jessie was wasn't convinced.
"How do we know we'll be okay?" asked Jessie.
"We'll have International Police protection and Bewear protecting us." answered Meowth.
"You have trust issues." mused Ash.
"Trusting people has never been my forte." noted Jessie.
James put his hand on Jessie's.
"You have to learn to help people." said James.
Jessie sighed.
"Fine." agreed Jessie.
"To Alola!" declared Meowth.
Meanwhile, Giovanni was seated in his office. He had a glass of wine in his right hand and he stroked her Persian with the other. His secretary Matori stood by his side with her Alolan Meowth next to her. After a few second, a screen turned on revealing Domino, Tyson and Pierce.
("Hello sir.") said Domino.
"You better have good news." said Giovanni.
The three shared a worried glance.
"Well..." said Giovanni annoyed.
("The three are still on the loose.") revealed Tyson.
Giovanni growled angrily.
("They escaped us at Terracotta Town port.") said Pierce.
"What happened?" asked Giovanni.
("Someone let them pass.") answered Domino.
Domino subtly motioned to Pierce.
("Why are you throwing me under the bus?") asked Pierce angrily.
"She feels it was your fault." noted Matori.
("It wasn't!") declared Pierce.
Tyson snickered.
("You're the one who let them escape.") noted Tyson.
"Tell me what happened." demanded Giovanni.
("There was smoke and someone yelled fire.") answered Pierce.
"So?" asked Matori.
Pierce gulped worried.
("We believe it was a Haze from Jessie's Seviper.") answered Pierce worried.
"You mistook a Haze for smoke fire." said Giovanni.
("Yes sir.") said Pierce flatly.
"That makes sense sir." said Matori.
Giovanni thought it over.
"I guess that could make sense." mused Giovanni.
Pierce sighed in relief.
"What about the rest of you?" asked Giovanni.
("They managed to slip by us.") answered Tyson.
Domino growled angrily.
"Domino, you have something to say." said Giovanni.
("I do not want to be held responsible for their failures.") said Domino.
Tyson and Pierce shot Domino dirty looks.
"And how are you innocent?" asked Giovanni curious.
("I put the plan into the action and shouldn't be held liable for their failure to execute it.") answered Domino.
Tyson and Pierce were enraged.
"Tyson, what do you have to say?" asked Giovanni.
("I believe her plan was not as good as she thinks.") answered Tyson.
"I see." replied Giovanni.
("I'm not the one who mistook Haze for a fire.") noted Domino.
Pierce slammed his fist.
("Don't throw us under the bus!") declared Pierce.
Tyson snickered.
("She does have a point.") stated Tyson.
Pierce shot Tyson a death glare.
("You did allow them to trick you.") shrugged Tyson.
Pierce became indignant.
("It's already been agreed that was a reasonable mistake!") snapped Pierce.
Tyson rolled his eyes.
("Once you been around as long as I have, you don't make simple mistakes.") stated Tyson.
Pierce snickered now.
("I had an agent who reported those three left a diner after you entered.") noted Pierce.
Tyson was caught off guard.
("They got away right under your nose.") said Pierce taunting.
"How pathetic." sighed Domino.
("You're one to talk!") snapped Tyson.
Domino was taken aback.
("Hey, I didn't screw up.") huffed Domino.
Tyson snorted.
("Who is in charge?") asked Tyson.
Domino was weary.
("I am.") stated Domino.
Tyson nodded his head.
("That means responsibility falls on you.") said Tyson.
Pierce nodded in agreement.
("We wouldn't be here if you didn't screw up.") agreed Pierce.
Domino gave Pierce a death glare.
("I didn't screw up!") declared Domino firmly.
Pierce and Tyson snickered.
("If you didn't screw up, this case would have ended years ago.") stated Tyson.
Domino stammered.
("I have to agree with Tyson.") said Pierce.
Domino was red faced.
("I am the best agent this organization has!") exclaimed Domino.
Tyson and Pierce snickered again.
("Maybe we should reconsider that.") muttered Tyson.
Domino smirked now.
("Which one of you would take my place?") asked Domino.
Tyson and Pierce looked at each other.
("I've been here longer than Pierce.") answered Tyson.
Pierce snorted.
("I've done more for Team Rocket.") countered Pierce.
Domino, Tyson and Pierce began to squabble.
"Enough!" declared Giovanni loudly.
The three bickering agents quickly stopped.
"You three are disgraces to Team Rocket!" exclaimed Giovanni.
Domino, Tyson and Pierce hung their heads in shame.
"As far as I am concerned, you've all failed." continued Giovanni.
Giovanni drank his wine.
"Matori, how many times have the traitors escaped these three?" asked Giovanni.
"Fourth at minimum." said Matori.
("We're not hiding anything.") huffed Domino.
"We cannot be sure of that." countered Matori.
Matori's Alolan Meowth snickered.
"Why should I give you three another chance?" asked Giovanni.
("We won't fail.") answered Pierce.
Tyson gulped worriedly.
("We can succeed.") answered Tyson.
Domino smiled slyly.
("I'll do whatever it takes.") answered Domino sultrily.
Tyson and Pierce were disgusted by this.
"I'll give you one last change." decided Giovanni.
Domino, Pierce and Tyson were relieved by this.
"Domino and Pierce will co-lead this." said Giovanni.
("Why sir?") asked Domino hurt.
"You have failed on your own." answered Giovanni bluntly.
Domino hung her head.
("And me sir?") asked Tyson.
"You failed to capture the Red Gyarados at Lake of Rage and were arrested." answered Giovanni coldly.
("Understood.") said Tyson defeated.
"Do not fail me again." warned Giovanni.
Giovanni ended the call.
"Does their incompetence spread like a virus?" asked Giovanni.
"I'm not certain sir." answered Matori.
Giovanni drank his wine.
"We might need to move HQ." said Giovanni.
"You think they've gone to law enforcement." mused Matori.
"It's most likely." said Giovanni.
"I'll prepare." said Matori.
Matori walked away to car this out.
"Mother, you're laughing at me aren't you." said Giovanni bitterly.
A/N: That's where we'll end things for now. Our trio are headed to Alola and Giovanni is giving the agents one last chance. Next time, our three prepare to leave while the trio of Rocket agents hunt them down.
