***************************
Route 1, sundown. The foursome, exhausted by the day's travel, have decided to set up camp. Ash was sitting down with Dex, trying to start a fire to cook some munchies. Unfortunately....neither of them realized that starting a fire with sticks is kinda...dated.
Jeez guys....even a CAVEMAN can start a fire... Kristi sighed as she stood against a tree trunk, hands behind her head and her arms outstretched. Misty was against another, looking away from the group out at the lake.
Nobody said they were smart boys... Misty muttered, as she looked over her shoulder to see Ash and Dex trying to bend the sticks and turn them at the same time.
Maybe if they make an Dex said as he snapped his in half.
Or maybe....if you make them smoke up or something... Ash said, scratching his head. They were about to give up when they saw a stick catch fire by a cigarette lighter. The two of them looked up to see an annoyed Misty light the stick on fire, then place it against the pile and get it roaring.
It helps if you come back to THIS century, boys. Misty said as she tossed the small lighter to Ash, then resumed her normal stance againstt he tree.
Jeez...thanks Misty... Dex muttered as he watched her sullen look across the water again.
Misty, somethin wrong? Ash asked as he looked over. She shrugged and continued to stare outward, ignoring everybody.
Three pairs of binoculars watched them from across the lake.
James giggled excitedly. There they are!!
Yep...all four of them... Jessie said as she zeroed in. And a Pikachu..heh heh heh...
Meowth shrugged. I dunno why the hell ya bother. It's not worth it anymore if you ask me....I see no point in sticking around here...let's just move on...MMPH!!! he was cut short as Jessie put her hands around his throat.
so you're big enough to order US around, huh?! James yelled in his face.
You're going along with it Meowth, NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!! Jessie screamed as she put him back down. Now behave yourself.
Meowth dusted himself off.
Now, how to steal it... James pondered.
Or how to SCREW UP Stealing it. Meowth chimed in, and was abruptly whacked over the head by Jessie.
What did I just tell you?! she cried as she whammed him with a mallet, starting a scuffle between the three of them.
Misty watched from across the lake, and noticed the three of them fighting.
she said, as Ash and Dex looked over.
Umm..something wrong Misty?
I coulda sworn I just saw Team Rocket!!!
TEAM ROCKET IS HERE?!?! Kristi said as the color drained from her face. Oh noooooo...now they're gonna follow us around and bug us until we CRACK!!! For dramatic effect, she yanked on her hair jokingly.
Not necesarily..... Misty said as she picked up a small rock. Ash, how do you skip rocks?
Ash grabbed a small one and skipped it effortlessly across the lake. Put a spin on it.
Thank you.... she said as she wound up and skipped one towards Team Rocket. After about 18 skips, it took a bad bounce, went airborne, and hit James in the head.
he whined as he rubbed his head. Where did THIS come from?!
Misty smirked, and picked up another one. Ash, keep em comin...
Ash skipped another towards the three of them, which took the same bad bounce and slammed Jessie in the forehead.
she keeled over as Meowth looked over.
What in the hell... he though as he narrowed his eyes and saw a red haired girl in the distance.
HEY TEAM ROCKET!!! Misty yelled across as she picked up another one, slightly bigger.
The three of them said as they looked across.
YER MAMA'S A WHORE!!!! she screamed as she whipped another one across the water, which slammed Meowth square in his golden charm. He rolled backwards, and skidded across the grass to a stop.
he whined as he got up, a large lump on his head. Jessie got up, rubbing her forehead, which had a nice sized welt.
NICE SHOT, BUT I BET YOU CAN'T DO THAT AGAIN!!! James yelled as he shook his fist at her.
WANNA BET?!? She yelled back as she picked up another one, skipped it across, and drilled James in the forehead. He keeled over, and the three of them ran off, scared.
Let's get outta here!! Jessie yelled as she picked up her frantic pace. James and Meowth followed suit.
I hope that girl never learns to use a handgun!! Meowth yelled as he ducked another skipping rock. The three of them looked back.
YA MISSED US!!! They yelled triumphantly...and tripped over a rock in the ground. A collective groan rose up from the collasped trio, as Misty shook her head sadly.
Good old TR....... she sighed as she leaned back against the tree to check out the sunset once again.
