Part 13

Disclaimer I don't own Pokemon

It was several days before Butch and Cassidy were allowed to make
any phone calls. Of course they called Giovanni.
"No! I will not bail you out!" Giovanni yelled into the phone.
"I sent you two out on a very important mission and you screwed it up!
You're as bad as Jessie, James, and Meowth!"
"But Boss -- " Butch began.
"We can still get those kids," Cassidy interrupted. "Just get us
out of here!"
"No!" Giovanni snapped as he hung up the phone. He pushed a
button on his desk. "Mondo!"
"Yes, Boss?" Mondo asked as he hurried into Giovanni's office.
"Where are those fools Jessie, James, and Meowth?" Giovanni asked.
"I don't know, Boss. They haven't called for several days," Mondo
said. "I'll see if I can find them." He left.

Jessie and James were sitting in their campsite when they heard
their phone.
"That's probably the boss," James said. He looked worried.
"Yeah," Jessie agreed. "We should answer it." They didn't move.
"Hey! Ain't ya gonna answer the phone?" Meowth came into the
camp. He jumped into the balloon and switched on the phone. Jessie and
James reluctantly followed.
"Jessie! James! Where have you been?" Mondo asked. "You
haven't called for almost a week. The boss is mad."
"We were waiting until we got Pikachu," James said.
"The boss is going to call you," Mondo said. "You'd better answer
the phone." The screen went blank.
A few minutes later the phone beeped again.
"Answer it, Meowth," James said. Meowth switched on the phone.
"Where have you fools been?" Giovanni growled angrily. "Where is
Pikachu?"
"We can't get near it," Meowth said. "Da twerps are guarding it
too close."
"I have a different job for you anyway," Giovanni said. "Since
Butch and Cassidy failed, I am forced to give you their assignment."
"You -- you want us to kill da twerps?" Meowth asked, surprised.
"What do you think I said?" Giovanni asked. "You're getting as
incompetent as your partners."
"No, Boss," James said. "I'm not taking this job."
"What did you say?" Giovanni yelled. Jessie, James, and Meowth
grabbed each other in fear. They had never seen Giovanni so angry.
"I said I won't take the job," James said. "I will not hurt
those kids."
"I won't either," Jessie said. "In fact, I'm quitting Team
Rocket."
"So am I," James said.
"There is no quitting Team Rocket," Giovanni said. "Now are you
going to do the job or not?"
"No," James said. "Goodbye, Giovanni." He turned off the phone.
Jessie, James, and Meowth stared at each other in silence. The
phone beeped insistently but nobody answered it.
