Chapter #4
I woke up in a jail cell.....or what looked like a jail cell.
The last thing I remembered was turning toward Pikachu. Then I remember blacking
out from a very large thwap on the head. I don't think Misty could have done better if
she tried to knock me out on purpose.
"Uhhhn!" My head was pounding! It felt like a whole herd of Tauros had jumped on
my head while I was asleep.
"So you're finally awake?" The voice wasn't the familiar Jessie, James or Meowth
from team rocket. I was pretty sure that it was team rocket that got me. Who else would
do something like this other than team rocket? I was surprised that they actually had the
idea to sneak up on me.
"Wha?" I asked in my dizziness. Where was I?
"Hmph! I can't believe that those jokes pulled this off." said another voice. I
was right! It was team rocket that had me. I don't know anyone else who the voice would
refer to as jokes. Wait! That means I've been kidnapped! My pokemon!
"Don't move kid!" I had tried to sit up to find my pokeballs only to discover that
my backpack was missing. I was swiftly restrained. I couldn't make out what was going on
quite yet. Then I remembered that during the kidnapping when I turned to yell to Pikachu,
my backpack was on one shoulder and it flew off because of my momentum into a nearby alley
when I fell. Pikachu!
"Where's Pikachu?" I managed to mumble out weakly. I was laying on a hard jail bed and
had a female team rocket scientistpoking at me while two rocket brutes held me down.
"Your Pikachu wasn't the target this time kid. The catch of the day was you." growled
one of the brutes. I was the target?! What could they want with a kid like me?!! Sure I beat
team rocket most of the time but, I wasn't a real threat to team rocket was I?
At least Pikachu was safe.
"He's more resistant to the drugs than I thought he would be." said the scientist.
A voice from somewhere else in the room ordered her to double the dosage. I felt a needle
enter my left arm and I passed out from the dizziness.
Elsewhere....
"He's been gone too long. Brock there's something wrong. Ash would have been here by
now. We have to go find him!" said Misty. Brock could see that she was really worried about
Ash. To be truthful so was he. Ash may be a good pokemon trainer but he was still just a kid.
Anything could have happened to him by now.
"Pikachu's not out of the danger zone yet Misty. We have to stay with Pikachu until
it's out of danger. We can look for Ash later....Hellooooo Officer Jenny (hearts in his
eyes). What brings a beautiful doll like yourself down here? Look as soon as I finish here
maybe you and I could discuss this over dinner? OUCH!" Misty had removed herself from her
perch to take ahold of Brocks ears.
"Control your hormones Mr. Heart Eyes. Pikachu's in trouble and so is Ash when he
comes in!" Officer Jenny had a very concerned look on her face.
"Did I just hear that a friend of yours is missing? Would you know his backpack if
you saw it again?" she inquired. Officer Jenny held up a familiar green backpack.
"THAT'S ASH'S! What are you doing with it?" demanded Misty.
"I was afraid of this. It seems your friend Ash has gotten himself into some kind
of trouble. We found this backpack in an alley not too far from here. It seems that none
saw what happened. I think we have to presume he's been kidnapped." Misty and Brock
shared a look of absolute horror." I want you to tell me what happened today. Everything!
You understand?" The two kids nodded.
"This is all my fault if I hadn't got into that argument with Ash this would have
never happened." wailed Misty as soon as everything was explained.
"No this is my fault. If I was paying attention things wouldn't have gotten out of
hand and Ash wouldn't have stormed out of here." said Brock.
"So you guys think that team rocket did this?" asked Officer Jenny. They both nodded.
Just then Nurse Joy came out of the E.R.
"Well?" asked Brock.
"Pikachu's going to live but as I said before, it won't be conscious for a few days.
It was lucky to survive at all. Is his trainer here yet?" The group before her was silent.
"We think something happened to Ash...."
Meanwhile..
When I awoke again I was fighting for my life. When I was semi-conscious, I heard what
they were planning to do to me. Something about an experiment that they were going to see
if I survived or not. Quite frankly, I wanted to live. I struggled as they stripped me of
my jacket, pulled me towards the door, and as they tried to take my hat and finally succeeding
at it. I would have to remember the guy that got me with such a dirty shot. He was going
to pay for that.
"Prepare to throw him into the vat." I heard the one called Giovonni order. Hands
went through my hair. It was an very unpleasant experience with the headache I now had.
That's when I heard a familiar voice.
"What's with the goo?" It was James. It was all the familiar team rocket that I had
encountered from all of my adventures. They were watching this from below. It was Cassidy
that answered him.
"All who wish to try the test must first enter with the blood of the marking, so if
he be the one with the heart of metal; there will be no dispute for the crest shall be known
to all." Cassidy? Cassidy and Butch were here as well! I could see it in the three rockets
eyes. James, Jessie and Meowth thought that this was wrong but they couldn't do anything
about it.
"Real blood?" Meowth asked. It was obvious by his tone that he was very nervous. Cassidy
snapped her reply.
"Don't be stupid Meowth. There is an inscription on how to make 'blood of the marking'"
I winced. I didn't want to know what they were doing to me. I saw the strangest thing
happen next. All three of the rockets began to whisper. They weren't going to try and
help me! I decided to make one last effort to reach them.
"Let me go!" I yelled with as much strength I could muster. Then another thwap on the back
of my head rendered me semi-conscious again. I could feel myself being dragged somewhere.
Then I felt it for the first time; the silver liquid of the pond of pokemon.
A little later...
"Come on! We have to lead the twerp's friends here. You two slowpokes stop waddling
and hurry up!" snarled Jessie. All three of them were running in the maze of the warehouse.
"Slow down Jessie. We're lost." stated James
"Hmpfh! Figures! We only get lost at the worst possible times." puffed Meowth.
"Ha! I found the exit!" gloated Jessie. It was a no brainer; in front of them was a
red door that said 'EXIT'. Once outside the rockets had to come up with a plan.
"So how are we going to do this Jess? How are we going to get the twerps friends into
one of the most secret team rocket headquarters of all time?" asked James.
"That's the simple part. Once they see us they'll assume that we have him. Then when
we run they'll chase us." said Jessie
"Yeah and with da twerps hat in position like dis." Meowth interrupted. He had just
shoved the hat in-between the EXIT they had just come out of. "They'll look into it. Meowth!"
"Don't ever interrupt me Meowth when I'm on a role." snapped Jessie. She let Meowth drop
to the floor after stretching out his cheeks to ten times their normal size.
"I get it. Brilliant! We don't get our hands dirty and still look like the bad
guys." said James.
"Now this will only work if we do this right." said Jessie.
At the pokemon center five minutes later...
"Prepare for trouble,"
"And make it double," you know the rest of it.
"It's team rocket!" growled Brock. Misty immediaty leapt from her seat and began
to shake all three of the rockets by their collars.
"What have you done to Ash?"
"Meowth scratch attack." panted Meowth; scratching Misty's hands to get free of the
death grip she had on all of their shirts. Before anyone else could attack a red pokeball
was thrown into the fray.
"Go Vulpix! Flamethrower attack!" shouted Brock. "Quick Misty! Get out your pokemon.
They're after Pikachu while they have Ash out of the way."
"Go Staru! Watergun!" a pokeball was thrown and a star shaped pokemon was flung out
in a blur of red.
"VULLL!"
"HYA"
"You kids can't do this alone. Growlithe! Ember!" shouted Officer Jenny.
"GROWLLLLTH!"
"Think we got their attention?" asked Meowth.
"Oh shut up Meowth." snapped his partners. "Make sure that they follow us or this
will be for nothing."
"Roger!"
"Team rocket retreat!" they all shouted suddenly.
"Get back here!" shouted Misty. The group from the pokemon center ran after the rockets.
Later...
"Looks like we lost them."
"No!" Misty was beating her fists against a nearby wall. "How could we let them get
away?!! They knew where Ash was!"
'Look to your left you airhead redhead.' whispered Meowth. They had run all over
town leading them to the rocket headquarters. They weren't going to let them just waste
all that hard work for nothing.
"Misty look! It's Ash's hat." Brock ran over to the EXIT door and yanked it open.
"I bet he left it here for us to find." said Officer Jenny.
"Then he has to be in there." Misty started to charge into the building. Before she
could get through the door, Officer Jenny grabbed her.
'Alright, lets go before things get dicey.' whispered Jessie to her cohorts. They all
nodded and crept through the underbrush until they were a safe distance away.
"No! If this place is run by team rocket, we need backup. I'll call the entire area
for help. We could be over our heads if this is their headquarters."
"But Ash could be in danger!" said Misty.
"He'll be in more danger if we just charge in there without a plan." Officer Jenny
snapped at Misty. " Wait here while I call for help."
"Brock we go to do something!" Her eyes began to plead for his help.
"Sorry Misty but, I agree with Officer Jenny on this one. We're over our heads on
this one. Best wait for help and then charge in." Brock leaned against a wall.
"I've got an idea! Let's use Ash's pokemon as our backup. They won't take this sitting
down! Quick! Give me his backpack before Officer Jenny comes back." pleaded Misty
"They'll also be upset about Pikachu. Without Ash here, the stronger ones won't
listen to us." stated Brock. "It's too risky."
"If you won't help him than I will!" Misty began to reach for Ash's bag.
"Hey!" said Brock. Then a dust fight broke out between them and the bag anime style.
"What are you two doing?!" yelled Officer Jenny. She was back from radioing for help.
"Give me Ash's backpack!" growled Misty.
"No! You'll only make things worse!" retorted Brock. A tug-a-war broke out between the
angry friends. During the tug-a-war, a pokeball fell from one of Ash's side pockets from his
bag. A creature that had been watching the fight between the two saw its chance.
"Mew!" The creature said as it scurried out from it's hiding place and snatched the
ball before anyone could react. All they saw of the creature was a white blur. The surprised
friends stopped fighting for a moment and looked at the spot that the mysterious creature
had just disappeared to.
"Did you just see that?" asked Brock.
"What kind of pokemon was that?" asked Officer Jenny in awe.
"Whatever it was, it took one of Ash's pokeballs!" exclaimed Misty. "He's going to
kill us." she wailed. The creature was now watching from the roof of the building behind
them. It was still waiting for its chance.
"They'll be here in ten minutes. So get ready." reported Officer Jenny.
"Who?" asked Misty and Brock.
"Every Growlithe squad from every town for twenty miles. It seems your little troup has
a reputation for helping out the law. Every Officer in our vacinity leapt at the chance to
help us once Ash's name was mentioned."
"That's our Ash! Always ready to help others. Let's just hope that Ash can hold out
until then." Brock said with hope. There was more hope now than ten minutes ago and he wasn't
about to let this hope fade.
