Chapter Two: Congratulations

(Author's Note: Thank you for all the reviews I got they all seemed very good. I wrote another version of this, but it just screwed up the whole idea of this fiction so I made a whole new chapter up.)

Ash ran up the little hill leading to Professor Samuel Oak's lab. He went there so he can get his other Pokemon that were kept there to be taken care of by the Professor. He had his Kingler, which got him a good spot in the Pokemon league, there was Muk, which helped him in the Pokemon league also, then Heracross one of his new Pokemon a whole new species that only roams in the lands of Johto, and Tauros the Pokemon that got him to be on the wall of fame in the Orange League.

In order for him to get his other Pokemon back, he thought that he should use the other ones he had, that was the only plan they had. They could just not raid into the Team Rocket base and get their Pokemon back so easily. They know they needed to fight their way to get them.

Professor Oak had no idea what happened with Ash, Misty, and Brock's case. Everyone in Pallet Town except for the Ketchum family seemed fine and continued on with their normal lives.

"Hey you guys! I didn't know you would be home so early. I knew I should have cleaned the place up earlier." Tracey said, as he was wearing slacks instead of the normal red shorts he used to wear. He took off the orange headband and had a lab coat over his green shirt.

"Tracey. Hey! I need to find my other Pokemon, I need them immediately." Ash said his eyes glancing from place-to-place trying to find the little shelf with all of his Pokemon.

"Okay follow me and I will give you your Pokemon in their Pokeballs." Tracey said, as he led the trio away.

"Jessie and James you actually got some Pokemon?!" Giovanni said over the phone. surprised looking at Jessie and James a little bit oddly.

"Fifteen Pokemon to be exact. A Pikachu, Bayleef, Totodile, Cyndaquil, Noctowl, Bulbasaur, Staryu, Goldeen, Togepi, Psyduck, Poliwhirl, Pineco, Onix, Geodude, and Vulpix." James said this only to brag about all the Pokemon the stole. He speaking a bit louder for Pokemon more rare than others likes Bayleef and Pikachu. Jessie just stood next to James with a smile on her face.

"Excellent James and Jessie. You will definitely get a pay raise for getting such a high amount of Pokemon here." Giovanni closed his eyes looking at of the window seeing a plain field.

"We are happy to please you sir." Meowth said jumping on the top of Giovanni's desk in the office, they went there because they thought he was still at the office in the Team Rocket Gym.

"I would like to examine these Pokemon, please come over to the Safari Zone where I am with the Pokemon. Once you are there we can discuss my latest plan to get us hundreds and hundreds of Pokemon." Giovanni said as he made a evil grin on his face, Jessie and James just smiled feeling special.

They never got so much attention from Giovanni. They were always just bugs to Giovanni, unimportant Team Rocket members who always screw up on their missions. He never gave them a serious mission that is why they were allowed just to chase the twerps and do whatever they want. Now they could finally prove that they are worthy to Giovasnni to succeed at the mission they are going to be assigned.

"Go to my assistant and tell him about you guys going to the Safari Zone he will do the plans to get you over here as soon as possible." Giovanni said as he heard someone talking through the door, "I got to go Jessie and James. Talk to you later." Giovanni said and once he did, the videophone screen turned black.

"James did you hear what he said! He wants to talk to us! He actually cares for us and thinks we will actually succeed on this new mission!" Jessie shouted grabbing James shoulders to shake him.

"Okay Team Rocket's gym is in Viridian City, hopefully we can just run there taking the shortcut I originally took to get to Viridian City in one day and hopefully catch up to Jessie and James to get our Pokemon back!" Ash said devising a plan.

He put the four Pokemon he had on his belt hoping that all of his Pokemon would be okay, along with Misty and Brock.

The trio walked on the dirt road to Virdian City, there being no road for cars. They would have took a car if there was a road for cars.

They arrived in Viridian City and immediately ran to the gym, it seemed like a normal day. Everyone was outside having some fun, not even knowing about the threat of Team Rocket.

"You know that Jessie and James got assigned to go to the Safari Zone on one of the most important missions with Giovanni and his highest ranked members!" A team rocket member said, she had red hair that went to her shoulder; it was straight until the end where it was a little bit wavy.

"Those two are such ditzy people! They are screw-ups they never could accomplish anything. They just had some good luck finding some dumb trainers to get their Pokemon." The other female responded. She had blue hair that was curled it went up to her elbow.

"I know. Those two are screw-ups. We stole many Pokemon and we don't get appericated by him! That is so not fair, but life's not fair." The girl with red hair said as she flicked her hair back, "Let's go. I need to get my things."

And with that the two girls left to go into the Gym to get their stuff. Ash, Misty, and Brock went out of hiding from on top of a tree.

"Alright. Jessie and James are going to the Safari Zone! We need to go there and chase them down!" Brock said forming a plan off the information she got.

"And how are we suppose to get there. They don't have airports in such a small city." Misty asked Brock.

"We can take the train! The train always goes to tourism spots and the Safari Zone is one. We just need to go to the train station here and take the train as soon as possible." Brock said.

The three just nodded to the plan that they made up the train station was not far away. It should only be a few minutes away. They terribly missed their Pokemon and kept thinking about it when they were taking the walk to the train station.
