Chapter #1

"What on earth is the boss thinking?" cried Jessie. " Why didn't he just tell us over the phone what our new assignment was? Now to make things worse we got to get our orders from Cassidy and Butch!"

"Calm down Jessie. Getting upset about it won't change anything." Growled her blue haired companion. James wasn't too enthusiastic about getting orders from Cassidy and Butch either but they had not choice.

"I WON'T CALM DOWN! Cassidy did this on purpose! She's probably nice and snug inside that
Pokemart while we're out here in the dump out back." It was a dump. There were tires, garbage, and almost anything else Meowth could think of associated with a dump.

"Would yous two settle down! There's someone coming." snapped Meowth. It was Cassidy and Butch.

"Yous don't think those idiots went inside the dump do you?" asked Butch to his female companion.

"Jessie may be a brat but she wouldn't stoop to going into this dump." Cassidy pointed out to the dump the Rockets were in.

'She's going to pay for calling me a brat' whispered Jessie. Her face turned a bright red and she snarled.

'Quiet! Maybe they'll talk about our assignment and we won't have to talk to them.' growled the Meowth to his teammates.

"Boy, I wouldn't want to be Jessie or James right now." Butch said gravely. " Do ya think the bosses new machine will work?"

"I highly doubt it." snorted Cassidy. "Those two would be too old even if it does work. I'm just glad it's not us that's going to be the lab rats." The trio looked at each other. Lab rats?

"Lets go through this again Cassidy. Once we see those three, I get to trounce James and you take on Jessie. Meowth can be let go because it's a human we need." Cassidy nodded. Butch cracked a knuckle. "Good!"

"Remember. We only need to take one of them for the experiment." cautioned Cassidy

"Ya! I vote it be James. That blue haired jerk had this one coming." growled Butch.

"It should be Jessie. She's the younger one of those two. Besides if this experiment does work, Jessie will be easier to control than James." interrupted Cassidy. Butch folded his arms. "I'm glad that we're not expendable like those two are. Whoever the experiment subject is probably won't survive the process."

"All we have to do now is wait for those losers to show up and we have fulfilled our mission." Butch leaned against the old picket fence that surrounded the old junkyard. Meanwhile in the junkyard were three very afraid rockets.

'This happened because we failed too many times." wimpered James.

'What are you whining about? It's me they're going to use for a lab rat!' hissed Jessie. 'There has to be a way out of this.'

'We wouldn't have been expendable if yous two hadn't bundled up all the time and caught Pikachu.' growled Meowth. 'Wait a minute! That's it!'

'What's it?' asked Jessie and James in unison.

'The twerp!' cried Meowth.

'What about the twerp?' asked James dumbly.

'You idiots. Don't you see! Kidnap the Ketchum twerp and hand him over to Cassidy and Butch. He's younger than all of us, easier to handle and he's a pokemon trainer, no one will know he's missing until we're long gone' said Meowth quickly

'Your forgetting one thing, Meowth.' said James.

'What's that?' asked Meowth.

'Those friends of his will notice that he's missing.' interrupted Jessie.

'No they won't' retorted Meowth. He crossed his arms and had a smug look on his face.

'Huh?' asked Jessie and James.

'Whiles yous two were arguing the other day. Ash and Misty had a bit of a fight and Ash said that maybe one day he would just leave without out thems guys. That means if he suddenly disappeared they would think that he made good on his promise.' Meowth raised an eyebrow. ' So you knows we can do it.'

'Hmm. Him or us?' queried Jessie.

'Him!' The trio whispered together. Then the plotting rockets proceeded to make their way out of the junkyard lot and went in search of an unsuspecting boy name Ash Ketchum
