Chapter 13: Battle for the Orb of Darkness!
Team Rocket made haste to where the Orb was held at with the heroes catching up.
"Take this!" Tommy said, throwing a Batrope that wrapped around Jessie's ankles, tripping her and making her fall face-first on the stone path while Elastigirl stretched her arms to trip James and Meowth while Speed Demon rushed into the temple and grabbed the Orb of Darkness before bringing it back to Hippolyta.
"Here you go, Your Highness." Dash said.
"Thank you, Speed Demon." Hippolyta said before Jessie growled as she got up holding a bleeding nose.
"How dare you damage my face, you little makeshift rat!" Jessie said.
"I'm not a rat, you old hag! I'm a bat!" Chiroptera said.
"W-Wh-What...DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!" Jessie asked with a furious glare before she growled furiously and shouted, "ARBOK, TEACH THAT LITTLE BRAT A LESSON WITH POISON STING!" as she threw a Poké Ball and released a purple snake-like creature.
"Charrrbok! Char!" Arbok said as it shot sharp white needles out of its mouth at Chiroptera, only for them to be blocked by Wonder Woman's shield.
"We'll take it from here!" Ash said as Pikachu hopped off his shoulder.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Ash commanded.
"Pika...CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" Pikachu said as it shot electricity at Arbok, frying it severely and causing it to scream in pain before it fell back, unconscious.
"Weezing, Sludge Attack!" James commanded. Weezing shot a boot of sludge out of its mouth at Pikachu, only for Violet to put a force field around the Electric Mouse.
"Now it's our turn!" Speed Demon said before he had Elastigirl slingshot him into the air and he came down with a kick to Weezing's face, knocking it out cold.
"You've done it this time!" Meowth said before he leapt into the air and readied his claws, only for Argo-1 to fry him with his laser eyes.
Team Rocket growled in frustrated anger before James noticed Hippolyta trying to escape with the Orb of Darkness.
"Oh no, you don't! Victreebel, Vine Whip!" James commanded as he released a plant-like Pokemon that chomped his head with its head leaf before it complied.
"Mother!" Wonder Woman said before she rushed and pushed her out of the way. Unfortunately, she dropped the Orb of Darkness. Victreebel grabbed it with Vine Whip and started to bring it back.
"No! Pikachu, Thunder!" Ash commanded.
"Pika...CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" Pikachu did again.
"Wobbuffet, Counter!" Jessie commanded a blue blob-like Pokemon.
"Wobbuffet!" it said before it closed red and selected the Thunder back at Pikachu, knocking it back powerfully.
"Pika!" Pikachu said as it flew back.
"Pikachu!" Ash said as he caught it.
Jessie laughed arrogantly as the heroes glared at them.
"Now, heroes, you have the honor of finally watching Team Rocket win!" Jessie said as Victreebel handed her the Orb of Darkness.
"We'll see about that, you arrogant hag!" Songbird said.
Jessie glared at her, but smirked regardless.
"I wouldn't get anything, unless you want us to start a broadcast that reveals Themyscira to the world!" Jessie said as James and Meowth revealed media equipment. The heroes stood still, not wanting to endanger the ancient city's secrecy.
"Now, great Orb of Darkness, make us, the great Team Rocket, the rulers of the world!" Jessie said before the three of them laughed victoriously, only for nothing to happen after 10 seconds.
"Uh, Jess, I don't feel any different." Meowth said.
"Me neither." James said.
"I don't understand. The research said this orb held great power." Jessie said.
"You are mistaken. The Orb of Darkness is an object OF great power. It doesn't grant someone power because they wish it." Hippolyta said.
Team Rocket looked dumbfounded before Jessie started throwing a fit, "Why is it that everything we go after proves to be useless to us, but useful to the twerps?!" she yelled before she bashed the Orb of Darkness against a wall, cracking it a bit. Chiroptera then saw his chance as he jumped and threw a Batarang at Jessie, attempting to knock her out, only for her to turn around and catch it with the Orb, the Batarang cracking it more.
"Don't do that! You could destroy the entire world if you unleash what's contained in that orb!" Hippolyta said, alarming everyone. That's when they noticed the Orb was shaking in Jessie's hand.
