Chapter 6 - General Brock and Pika-Troop plan to capture Rockets

After visiting hours everyone headed outside and to the Pokemon Center where they planned out something.

Brock: Okay, Team Rocket must pay!

Ash and Misty looked at each and sweatdropped. Todd was looking elsewhere watching for any pokemon to take a picture of.

Brock: I don't think any of you are paying attention. ATTENTION!!!!

Everyone nearly jumped up in a startle. They looked at Brock who was wearing a goofy Military camouflage outfit complete with helmet.

Brock: Okay now that I got everyone's attention.

Ash: Well you yelled for it.

Brock: We will now declare WAR against Team Rocket!

Misty: Brock don't you think you're going a bit overboard.

Brock: Silent maggot! Drop down and give me twenty!

Misty: Not on your life.

Brock: What does a general have to do to get any respect around here?

Ash: General?

Brock: Yes, General Brock. Now fall in! You're in the army now!

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, Brock yelled at them again with his head ten times bigger.

Brock: FALL IN!!!!

Ash: Wa!

They all jumped back and fell back on their seats.

Brock: That's more like it!

Misty jumped up and tried to slam Brock with her mallet but Brock's helmet prevented any pain.

Brock: Ha that won't work! Now everyone, I want you to look at this.

Ash and Todd placed their seats back up and Brock slide in with a mini projector and screen. Pikachu was right behind him with a camouflage headband on and held his tail like a machine gun.

Pikachu: Pika! ((yo))

Brock: Lt. Pika, operate the projector.

Pikachu: Kachu ((yes sir))

Ash: When did Pikachu join Brock's army?

The lights dimmed a bit and Pikachu turned on the projector to show the first slide, the title.

Todd: The War against Team Rocket? Um, aren't you over doing this a bit Brock. I mean at least get a modern projector not this. . . .

Brock: Silence! You will speak only when I tell you to speak or it'll be the mess hall for you. Next slide!

Now there was a picture of Butch and Cassidy.

Brock: This is the enemy. Notice their evil looks and unjust style. Next!

The next slide showed a picture of everyone.

Brock: This is our team that will fight against the enemy.

The next slide showed a mug shot of Ash.

Brock: This is private Ash. He is the arsenal specialist. With his various elemental pokemon he is equipped for all types of battle. Next this is Sgt. Misty. A keen operative with a quick reflex with various and very painful hand held weapon. This is the mallet. Sgt. Misty's weapon of choice. It delivers hard blows with deadly accuracy. Now we have special operative Todd. His special spy equipment benefits the mission greatly.

Todd: Spy equipment?

Brock: Notice the high tech surveillance equipment this operative wields. It can zoom in on a target and take a photo for later investigation.

Todd: The name is Snap. Todd Snap.

Brock: Now we have Lt. Pikachu. This powerful pokemon has incredible shocking powers. It's agile speed and fast reflex makes it very deadly and extremely powerful.

Pikachu: Pika!!

Ash: Um Brock, I think you're going a bit overboard here. I love the slide show but what is the point to all this?

Brock: The point? You ask the point? Why I otta have you scrubbing the decks of this here Pokemon Center for just asking for the point to all this. But I need you for the mission at hand.

Ash: The mission?

Misty: And that would be . . .

Brock: War against Team Rocket, Butch and Cassidy unit.

Pikachu: Pika!!!

Brock: They have to be stopped. Many people had their pokemon stolen, many more will. We almost had a casualty today.

Misty: I get it now. So this whole army bit is your way just to get even with Team Rocket for accidentally shooting Nancy. I don't blame you Brock but don't ya think you're over doing this?

Brock: I am not! It's war they want its war they'll get. We'll free all the kidnapped pokemon! We'll teach Team Rocket a lesson. And I'll redeem Nancy for letting her get shot.

Ash, Misty, and Todd all huddled up.

Misty: I think Brock lost it.

Ash: The rock in his brain must be eroding.

Todd: Ash you have bad breath!

The huddle burst out and erupted a bit, Misty was giggling at the sidelines.

Ash: I do not have bad breath!

Todd: Man Ash have a tictac.

Ash: You take that back!

Todd: Or what?

Ash: I challenge you to a Pokemon battle.

Misty and Togepi was laughing.

Misty: Ash! Todd doesn't have any pokemon. He's a photographer, remember.

Ash: Oh yeah. Well then I challenge you to uh . . . uh . . . hmmmm . . .

Misty: Well Ash, challenge in what?

Ash (snickering): I'll challenge you to a best kisser contest!! The one that can kiss a girl best wins!!

Todd: No fair you got Misty.

Ash: Well then that makes me winner.

Misty: Cheap!!!

Todd: You're on!

Ash: Huh?

Todd saw Nurse Joy pass by, he quickly grabbed her, dipped her low and gave her a kiss. Ash and Misty sweatdropped and also was shocked.

Todd: Well beat that!

Nurse Joy fell to the ground blushing and smiling.

Nurse Joy: Didn't know you cared Todd. Wow.

Brock: HOW DARE YOU KISS NURSE JOY BEFORE ME!! YOU CAD!!

Brock whacked Todd upside the head and shook him by the collar.

Nurse Joy got up and Brock stopped and both Todd and Brock looked at her.

Nurse Joy: I don't get out much, wish there was a nice boy like you Todd. Here's my phone number, call me anytime.

Brock was in shock, he let go of Todd and he fell to the floor once again.

Brock: Nnnoooooo!!! I lost Nurse Joy to Todd.

Misty slide over with a huge mallet, she tapped Brock on the shoulder, when he turned she slammed him down.

Misty: YOU ALREADY HAVE NANCY!!!

Brock: Oh . . . um sorry . . . force of habit. Old habits are hard to break.

Ash sighed that silly anime puff and sat down.

Ash: Wasn't I in a middle of a challenge?

Misty walked over to Ash and sat next to him.

Misty: Later Ash, we can have a kissing challenge, just the two of us. *wink*

Ash: Okay . . . but who will you kiss?

Misty fell over and slapped Ash.

Misty: YOU, YOU DENSE ASH!!

Ash winked back and gave a thumbs up.

Ash: I knew that.

Togepi: Priii priiii toge toge priiii ((Ashy daddy is funny))

Misty: Yup he is Togepi, he is.

Todd escaped from Brock in a moment and went to Ash.

Todd: I still think you have bad breath.

Ash: Wa I don't smell anything.

Todd: You can't exactly smell your own breath.

Ash: Misty, could you do me a favor?

Misty: You're on your own Ash. I may kiss you but I don't smell your breath.

Ash: Wa!!!!!

Misty giggled, she grabbed on to his face and poked his cheek.

Misty: Aw you look so cute with your widdle pouty face.

Ash: Cut it out Misty you're embarrassing me.

Next thing she did was look right in the eye and gave him a great big kiss on the lips. Brock stared at the kiss and Todd was getting ready to take a picture. Pikachu and Togepi laughed as they like seeing the two kiss. Just before Todd could take a pic the kiss ended.

Ash: Whoa! I thought it would be later?

Misty: It is, this is a pre-game preview.

Ash wobbled a bit and Misty made sure he didn't fall. Ash blinked a few and then noticed chewing gum in his mouth. Misty winked at him and blushed.

Misty: Now you don't have to worry about bad breath.

Todd laughed along with Pikachu and Togepi.

Todd: Talk about a new ABC Gum. Already Been Chewed.

Brock: That's gross!!!

Misty: Jealous Brock?

Brock: Nope.

Ash continued to pop bubbles smiling. Todd and the two pokemon continued to laugh. Todd looked at Brock and then popped a bubble of his own showing Nurse Joy was chewing gum too. Brock had a sweatdrop stuck to the side of his head as he did a "bleah" look.

*****

The next morning everyone had gotten up early. Breakfast went quickly and the first activity to do for that day was to check up on Nancy. Brock led everyone to the hospital and headed towards the room. Brock brought flowers and a box full of candy. Ash and Misty arrived with a fruit basket, and Todd with Pikachu and Togepi brought over a cute custom made card, which Todd made on his laptop and with Pikachu and Togepi's choice of design.

Nancy: Thanks everyone. I feel much better now. Let me read this card. "Hope you get better soon. Pika pi pika chu pika pika. Toge pri to toge toge priiii prrriiii. Love Todd, Pikachu, and Togepi." How cute, thanks.

Ash: Pikachu wrote for you to get well and drink lots of ketchup.

Everyone laughed, ketchup was also the number one remedy for Pikachu.

Misty: Well Togepi wrote for you to rest well and relax so you can get better.

Nancy: I greatly appreciate it everyone. Especially you Brock, you really um, decorated my room.

In further inspection of the room, it looked like a jungle with all the flowers Brock brought it. Ash noticed a few wild Oddish's wandering out of the room. Todd saw and started chasing after it with his camera.

Ash: Gee, talk about really fresh.

Nancy: You're too kind Brock.

Brock: I always try my best to impress.

Misty: Sometimes a bit too much.

Nancy: Well I think it's very generous, thank you Brock.

Nancy touched Brock's hand with her good hand and Brock blushed. Ash and Misty were giggling and Brock gave them a look. They smiled and waved back gesturing at how cute he was to Nancy and how Nancy was to Brock.

Misty: How did that saying go now?

Misty gave Brock a sly smile and tapped Ash.

Misty: Oh Ashy boy, how did that song go, the one about the tree?

Ash: The one that Brock always teases us about.

Misty: Yeah that one. It also involves names and children and . . .

Brock appeared right behind Ash and Misty and headlocked both of them and dragged them out of the room.

Brock: None of that please. If you want your riceballs.

Misty: Oh alright. Just for the food we will behave.

Ash: You're no fun Brock.

Brock nervously scratched his head and zoomed back into the room when Nancy called. Ash and Misty gave a wink to each other, held hands and walked off to find Todd. About half an hour passed and Brock along with the two pokemon Pikachu and Togepi saw everyone sitting in the lobby area.

Brock: So guys, you wanna go nail Team Rocket now?

Ash: Yeah but how are we gonna do that?

Brock: When we bump into them, we will plan something.

Misty picked up Togepi and whispered to it.

Misty: So what did uncle Brock say to aunt Nancy?

Brock slide over and pinched Misty.

Brock: Nope, nope, nope, don't even ask Togepi, I had Pikachu and Togepi go the vending machine to get some food while I spoke with Nancy.

Misty: You're such a kill joy.

Todd: So what do we do now oh General Brock?

Brock: Well, we go off try to get Team Rocket to appear.

Todd: But what do we do in the mean time?

Brock: We will do some training exercises that'll help us against Team Rocket. Let's go play baseball.

Ash/Misty/Todd: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! (falling over)

*****

At the park Ash was up to bat. Brock was the pitcher, Misty was on second, Todd was catcher. Pikachu cheered on the sidelines, he was next up to bat. Brock told Geodude and Zubat to move closer from out field. Vulpix, carefully guarded Misty so she wouldn't steal.

Ash: Watch this one, an instant homerun.

Brock: Oh yeah right. More like three strikes and your out.

Misty: Knock one out of the park Ash!

Ash did his stance and wound up. Todd signaled and Brock nodded. Just as Ash was expecting the pitch Brock threw the ball to second base, Misty ran to third seeing her chance to steal. Vulpix caught the ball and started chasing after Misty to tag her, he tossed the ball to Bulbasaur as Misty slide. It was a close call and when the sand cleared, umpire Psyduck made the call.

Psyduck: Duck ((out))

Misty got up and bashed Psyduck over the head.

Misty: What kind of call is that you dimwit duck! I was safe!

Brock: Sorry Misty but the umpire is the one that calls it.

Psyduck: Psyduck duck ((hit the showers))

Misty: You stupid pokemon!

Misty bonked Psyduck over the head and walked out of the diamond. Ash shrugged, that had been the third out and well Misty got thrown out of the game.

Ash: Oh well, third out. Go ahead Pikachu, get our team set, I'll take a break for a while.

Pikachu: Pika! ((okay))

Misty was taking a drinking out of the fountain when Ash got up behind her and then grabbed her and tickled her.

Ash: Gotcha!

Misty: Heyyy aaaahh heeaa haaa haa cut it out!!

Ash continued just a bit longer then stopped. Misty turned around and playfully bonked Ash over the head.

Misty: (smile) Don't ever do that again.

Ash: Well I do what I wanna do. Like you said at Rocket Resort. Wa!

Ash did his pose and Misty rolled her eyes. She made her move quickly and grabbed Ash and tickled him down.

Ash: Aaaaaahhhh Misty stop I'm too ticklish!!

Misty: I'm paying you back double!

After a grand moment of laughter the two stood up and headed to the bleachers to watch the rest play baseball. They held hands and continued to hold hands when they sat down. Misty laid her head on Ash and Ash laid his head on Misty's head. They moved closer to each other and leaned against each other, cuddling up.

Misty: What a beautiful day.

Ash: Well you make it beautiful.

Misty: That's sweet Ash.

Ash: No you are.

Misty: Nope you.

Ash: You.

Misty: You.

As the two argued very cutely on the side, on the field Pikachu was about to pitch to Todd. Pikachu wound up and threw. Fast ball dead center, Todd swung and hit it. It flew high up and far, it didn't look like a home run but it was definitely a base hit. The next batter was Geodude. Pikachu pitched and Geodude hit it allowing Todd to run home for a point and Geodude a position on first base.

Todd: Hey um I'm just gonna go to the bathroom.

Brock: No wonder he ran so fast.

The pokemon laughed as they waited for Todd.

Squirtle: Squirtle squirtle squirlte ((Todd's gotta make a little puddle))

Pikachu: Kachu pika pi ((you have a sick mind))

Psyduck: Psyduck duck psy ((is it a big puddle or a small one?))

Everyone sweatdropped and looked at psyduck.

Pikachu: Pika pika ((keep your quack shut))

From floating above hovering with their rockets Butch and Cassidy watched down.

Cassidy: There's the two vulpixs. We should capture them now while they're guard is at a minimum.

Ash and Misty were making out on the bleachers and they had duct a bit low so they didn't notice the two shadows and rocket members landing on home base.

Butch/Cassidy: Prepare for trouble and make it double!

Cassidy: To infect the world with devastation!

Butch: To enlighten all peoples in every nation!

Cassidy: To denounce the goodness of truth and love!

Butch: To extend our wrath to the stars above!

Cassidy: Cassidy!

Butch: Butch!

Cassidy: We're Team Rocket, circling earth all day and night!

Butch: Surrender to us now or you will surely lose the fight!

Butch/Cassidy: That's right!
