"Ah, grandson. At last I speak to you, for real. I met you once before, when I battled you, correct?" Said Giovanni.
"No, remember! You had left the gym to the J's. Grampa, your memory's going." Said Rachel.
"Hi, Giovanni, uh, I can call you that?" Asked Ash, nervously.
"Of course, Ashton. May I call you that?" Asked Giovanni, whose Persian came up behind him.
"Uh…" said Ash.
"He prefers Ash, Giovanni, sir." Said Misty, helping out.
"Ah, thank you, Miss Waters. I trust you will take care of Ash?"
"Me? No way, that can be Rachel or Brock's job! They're the ones related to him!" Said Misty.
"Forgive me, I had thought you two were involved." Said Giovanni.
"THEM! NO WAY!" Screamed Ash and Misty together, with their fingers crossed behind their backs.
"G, I'll take care of all these kids." Said Rachel.
"Ah, Rachel? James and I are 2 years older than you." Said Jessie, quite annoyed.
"James and you are too love struck to do anything competently." Said Meowth, suffering a bit from a hit with a frying pan courtesy of the Team Rocket psycho red-head.
"Huh?" Said James.
"Rachel, Rachel, I'm your age, I'm not a k-k-k-id." Said Brock, stuttering because Rachel walked right next to him, really, really close.
"You get too girl crazy." Said Rachel.
"Hey, what about me! I'm a Pokémon master!" Said Ash.
"You, responsible! PLHEASE!" Said Misty.
"Hey! No fair! You're not responsible enough either!" Said Ash.
"I never said I was." Said Misty.
"I'll be going now. Jessie, James, Meowth… If you ruin Rachel's operation, it's curtains. Literally."
"Uh, bye, Boss." Chorused Meowth, Jessie, and James.
"Rock... Keep away from my granddaughter unless she gives you leave to invade her personal space."
"Yessir." Said Brock, taking a huge step away from Rachel.
"Misty… Watch out for my grandson when Rachel is dealing with other members of this little group."
"Sure, Giovanni, sir." Said Misty.
"Rachel, Ash… Have a great time. Nice meeting you, grandson." Said Giovanni, actually giving them a warm smile.
"Bye, G." Said Rachel.
"Goodbye, Giovanni. Nice meeting you too." Said Ash.
Once he left, Brock asked Rachel "May I invade your personal space?"
Rachel replied "How about this; not ten feet away, not ten centimeters away."
"DEAL!" Cried Brock.
"Misty… You have to watch me when Rachel is busy! That is extremely distressing." Said Ash crossing his fingers.
"I don't like it either, Ash." Said Misty, crossing her fingers as well.
James finally realized what Meowth had said. "LOVE-STRUCK!"
In a different corner of the room… "MEOWTH, how ya been, Pikachu?" Said Meowth, in a totally different conversation.
"Pika. Pika pikachu chu pikachu pika pik." Which ment. "Fine. Ash still hasn't realized I'm a girl.".
"You want me to tell 'im? He'd love dat." Asked Meowth.
"PIKA!" which ment "NO!"
"At last, I meet another talking Pokémon. But it's a cat, and I'm a bird. Alas, poor, poor, me." Said Arty.
"Yum, an Articuno!" Said Meowth, hungrily.
