They got deeper into the forest when Lance stopped.
"What's wrong?" Misty asked.
"Shh!" Lance hushed. He reached onto his belt and pulled out a Poke-ball. He threw it on the ground and a Marel appeared.
"ahh! Cute" Misty cheered.
"You haven't changed much" Lance stated as he looked threw the trees.
"What do you mean by that?" Misty huffed.
"You still can't shut up" he joked. Misty was about to counter attack when Marel let out a cheer.
"What is it?" Lance asked the Pokemon.
"Marel- mare" It chirped pointing to the right.
"Good one Marel" he praised as he returned it, "This way" he gestured to the others,
"You guy's go on ahead, I'm going to go get Officer Jenny" stated Brock,
"Will you be right on your own?" Lance asked.
"When haven't I?" Brock joked as he ran back the way they came. Lance and Misty crept quietly through the bushes until they heard a familiar voice.
"Finally! Something went right!" A female voice stated. They crept closer and peered through a bush,
"Team...rocket.." Lance hissed.
"You said it Jess!" another commented.
"Well, ever since that other Brat disappeared, all our troubles seemed to go away" Meowth stated.
From Lance's memory, they hadn't changed much. Jessie still had her long red hair along with James's Purple. Meowth hadn't even evolved yet.
"Yeh? I wonder what actually happened to that kid?" James thought.
"Oh Who cares!" Jessie stated, "All that matter's now is we have his Pikachu!" she cheered.
Lance growled,
"Lance, no!" Misty whispered but she was too late. Lance was up and walking right into the middle of their camp.
"Who? Who Are You!" Jessie snapped. James and Meowth looked also. Lance looked up,
"You've forgotten me already?" he stated.
"Well, I've never seen you before!" Jessie snapped again.
"Um Jess.." James poked her on the shoulder, his face looked terrified.
"What!" she turned back to him.
"Have....a good look at his face..." he stuttered. Jessie turned back,
"I still don't recognise him" she shook her head,
"May be this will refresh your memory" he stated as he in wrapped his arm and held it up. Jessie's eyes went wide with horror.
"But....But your dead!" she blurted out.
"Do I look dead to you?" He snapped.
"Well, now that you look at him, he doesn't really look dead?" James stated but was quickly silenced by Jessie's fan.
"Well! What do you want!" Jessie snapped as they all jumped to their feet. Lance snickered,
"What do you think I want?" he stated. James thought for a moment...then clicked,
"OH! He want's his Pikachu!" he stated. Jessie and Meowth sweatdropped.
"Well you can't have him!" Meowth finished as they leapt into the balloon and held Up Pikachu. He was still pretty bashed up from his little encounter with Lance.
"pikachu..." Lance said under his breath, "Give Him Back!" he called as they rose up into the air.
"NO!" they all called back as they started to fly away rather fast,
"NO!" Lance yelled as he let loose his Pigeotto. He leapt on and they were off.
"LANCE!" Misty called, but he was gone. She sighed as she pulled out a poke ball.
"Now, Let's see if this works this time.." she stated as she threw the poke ball to the ground..
~*~
Lance was directly underneath the balloon.
"He's gaining on us!" Panicked James.
"Pigeotto! Whirl wind!" Lance called. Pigeotto flapped its huge wings and sent a huge gush of wind towards the balloon and it knocked Pikachu right out of their hands.
"NO!" Jessie screamed. Lance caught it.
"Got ya!" he smiled.
"LANCE!" A voice called. Lance turned to find Mylie on her Ponyta.
"MYLIE, Get out of here!" He yelled.
"I wanna Help!" she called back. While this was happening, Team rocket started throwing Bombs.
"HA! Dodge this!" Jessie called. Lance dodged them with ease, but Mylie couldn't.
"LANCE!" she screamed as her Ponyta bit the dust, and she was sent flying up into the air..
"NO! MYLIE!" he screamed as his Pigeotto dived for the save. He didn't see the bomb coming right for them though. Pigeotto was hit and Lance was left flying through the air. He grabbed Mylie and held her close to him, wrapping himself around her for a shield.
"LANCE!" Misty screamed as she saw the two flying towards the ground. She was on a very familiar Pokemon that belonged to a dear friend.
"Charizard! Dive and catch them" She called. Charizard roared and complied by doing a nosedive towards the other two. Misty saw what was going to happen.
"Charizard pull up! We're not going to make it!" she called. Charizard growled at the thought.
"CHARIZARD, NOW!" she yelled. Charizard complied and swooped up as Lance and Mylie went crashing into the ground..
All Team Rocket heard was Misty saying something to the Charizard and then a huge burst of flames heading their way..
"Oh no.." Jessie stated..... With a loud bang, they didn't even have time to say 'Blasting Off'.... After she was satisfied with that, Misty swooped down to the cloud of dust where Lance and Mylie had landed... She hesitated to think what happened.....
