A/N: Please excuse this fic if u think it's freakin' *odd*…I'm in an odd mood…(but if you ask my friends, they'll probably tell you I'm always in an odd mood…)
Another A/N: The formatting will be *so* much better on this…
Disclaimer: Do I have to type one? *sigh*…ok. The characters don't belong to me, they belong to other people. But this story is mine, mine I tell you!
Chapter 2
Hermione's Touch of Magic
"Jessie, did you see that?" James grabbed his partner's jacket excitedly.
"Of course I saw," growled Jessie. "Do you suppose that train that the twerps just jumped on really has lots of rare pokemon?"
"Of course it does!" Meowth butted in. "Otherwise they wouldn't make the train so hard to get to… we had to walk through a solid barrier just to get to it!"
"You're right. Come on, let's go jump on the train!" said Jessie. The threesome quickly climbed up onto the roof of the train right when the whistle blew and the train started to move. As the train started going faster and faster, the air rushing by caused Meowth to tumble over backwards and he would have fallen off the train if not for the metal railing on the back of the car.
"We better get the job done quickly or we'll probably all fall off sooner or later," James said nervously after seeing Meowth clinging to the railing for dear life.
"All right." Jessie got out a giant chainsaw and started it up. Meowth and James crawled up next to her, grinning. Just as Jessie tried to saw a hole through the roof of the car, the Anti-Scratch Spell put on the train acted up and threw Jessie away from the roof and sent her crashing into Meowth and James. As they tumbled down the side of the side of the train, they saw an open window and somehow managed to cling to it and climb through.
"Phew… I wonder what just happened back there," Meowth gasped.
"We're just lucky to have gotten in the train. Come on, let's go look for the rare pokemon," Jessie said.
"Hey, did you hear that?" Misty suddenly said. Tracey, Harry, and Ron all looked completely relieved to hear Misty say something other than the pointless arguing with Ash she had kept up for the last hour or so.
"Yeah… it sounded sorta like something tumbled into our car," said Ash, "Let's go check it out!"
"Yeah!" said Harry.
As they all piled out the door, Tracey yelled, "It's them!"
"Who are those people? Do you know them?" someone yelled. Apparently everyone in this car had heard the sound and had all rushed out to see what it was.
"They're Team Rocket! They're never up to any good, they're probably here to try and steal pokemon, just like they always do…" said Ash.
"Yes we are! Show us the rare pokemon or someone will get hurt!" Jessie said as she got out a dangerous-looking contraption that looked like a machine gun. Some people screamed, for almost all of the people in this car were untrained first-year witches and wizards. Ash, Misty, and Tracey knew what the contraption was for; they had seen it used countless times, and it was always used for launching miniature missiles that blew up and released nets at the last moment.
"There are no pokemon here! Don't you see, we're in a world without pokemon? If you want pokemon, go somewhere else!" said Misty.
"Don't lie, little girl. We know there are rare pokemon here, otherwise they wouldn't bother with so much security," said James. "And anyway, we still need to catch that Pikachu…"
"So get out of the way, twerp! Arbok, take care of her for me!" said Jessie as she released the pokeball that held her Arbok. As Arbok lunged at Misty with it's fangs, Ash dove over and pushed her out of the way just in time. Arbok crashed into the floor, which created a very squashed nose.
"Charrrrrrbok…" Arbok groaned, and fell over backwards.
"Pikachu, I choose you!" Ash said, and Pikachu jumped forward. "Thundershock!"
"Pi, ka, CHUUUUUUUUU!" A blinding flash of white light flooded the car and left everyone fried.
"You didn't have to shock *all* of us…" coughed Misty.
"Pika…" said Pikachu, sweatdropping and doing that anime thing (you know, with their hand behind their head?).
"What happened here?" cried the pretty girl with brown hair. "I heard a loud sound coming from this car, and I came here as fast as I could, my name's Hermione, sorry I didn't get here sooner, could someone please explain what happened?"
Tracey told her what had just happened, and Hermione yelled angrily, "Stealing! Oof, you'll be sorry you ever came onto *this* train!" With that, she grabbed her wand and pointed it at Team Rocket and started muttering something under her breath.
"What's happening?" howled Meowth as he, Jessie, and James were lifted into the air and out of the window. As Hermione flicked her wand upwards, Team Rocket were flung high and far into the clouds.
"Looks like Team Rocket is blasting off again!"
"I hope that's the last time I hear *that*," muttered Misty.
