Giovanni regained consciousness just before the helicopter landed
at Team Rocket's headquarters outside of Celadon City.
"Are you ok, Boss?" his aide Mondo asked.
"Of course not!" Giovanni snapped. "I was just blasted by a
Pikachu and Vulpix! What do you think?"
"Hold on, Boss, we're landing," the pilot called. When they
landed Giovanni went straight to his office, followed by his faithful
Persian Pokemon. Mondo trailed after them.
"Those stupid kids, how could they beat me?" Giovanni asked
angrily. "We've got to get rid of them. The Ketchum kid doesn't know me,
but the other two do. They're gym leaders too."
"What can we do, Boss?" Mondo asked.
"We have to kill them, of course," Giovanni said. "Find out where
Butch and Cassidy are." He paused. "And get me Jessie, James, and
Meowth."
"Yes, Boss," Mondo said. He hurried out, returning a few minutes
later. "We're in luck. Butch and Cassidy are driving in from Saffron
City. They'll be here within the hour."
"Good," Giovanni said. "What about Jessie, James, and Meowth?"
"They just called in," Mondo said. "They're still outside
Cerulean City."
"I'll call them," Giovanni said. "Send up Butch and Cassidy as
soon as they get here."
"I can't believe even the Boss screwed up," Jessie said in
amazement as the Team Rocket balloon floated near Cerulean City. Meowth was
looking for a place they could hide. They knew Officer Jenny and her
men would be searching for who had shot the twerps.
"Jessie. . .do you suppose the Boss killed that kid?" James was
troubled. He really didn't want Ash killed. James didn't think any
Pokemon, even the Pikachu, was worth that.
"I hope not," Jessie admitted. She was worried too. She didn't
want to see the kid hurt either. She just wanted his Pikachu.
"I never thought da Boss would shoot da kid to get his Pikachu,"
Meowth said.
they were interrupted by the beeping of their phone. When they
turned it on they saw Giovanni.
"Sir? Are you all right?" Jessie asked.
"You idiots, what do you think?" Giovanni growled. "I have a job
for you three."
"What, Boss?" Meowth asked.
""Find out who has that Pikachu and get it for me," Giovanni said.
"Get their other Pokemon too. They won't be needing them anymore."
"Why not?" James asked.
"I'm getting rid of those kids," Giovanni said. "Now go. DON'T
SCREW UP!"
"Yes, Boss," Meowth said. The screen went blank.
"Getting rid of those kids?" James asked. "What does that mean?"
"I don't know, James," Jessie said. "Let's just do our job." But
she looked as concerned as James did. So did Meowth.
Just over an hour later Butch and Cassidy reported in at Team
Rocket headquarters. Mondo told them what had happened in Cerulean City as
he took them up to Giovanni's office.
"Butch, Cassidy, I have a very important mission for you,"
Giovanni said. "Has Mondo given you any details?"
"He told us about the shooting," Butch said.
"The Ketchum kid is probably dead," Giovanni said. "I need you to
make sure. And get rid of the other two kids."
"You mean kill them?" Cassidy asked.
"Yes," Giovanni said. "Mondo can give you any further information
you need. I'm giving you this job because I know you won't screw it
up."
"Yes, Boss," Butch said. "Come on, Cassidy, let's go."
"Yes, go," Giovanni said, waving dismissal. Butch and Cassidy
left.
