They hadn't been trying to steal the shrine after all. THe shrine hid a secret passage that they followed down and shut after them. I just had time to catch the password.

It was Arbok's sting.

Veeeeery original I'm sure.

After uttering the password I walked down the passageway. The team rocket members were all dressed in casual clothes so I wasn't out of place. My houndour's flame lit the way in front of me so I could see.

I sat down in a ring as the team rocket members talked about the rise and fall of profits in the city. It took me a while to realise that they were talking about the pokemon translators. The leader's voice seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had heard it before.

Then they started talking about something much more interesting, so I forgot about it.

"So. We take over the radio tower again so the translators will work?"

"Yes."

"What a radical plan."

"You idiot. 'Radical' went out of fashion sometime last century. Just like your clothes."

"Hey its not a time to argue. And besides, these were the only clothes I could afford."

"I'll give you a raise later okay?"

When the meeting finished I walked out with the rest of the ROckets, shaking in my shoes.

Houndour helped sniff our tracks as we exited Ilex Forest and headed back to Goldenrod. I picked up my Fearow from the pokemon centre, but I kept Houndour as my first pokemon because houndour had been faithful.

*****************************************

I headed to Officer Jenny's house. The law was what was needed, and a police officer would solve everything for me.

Oficer Jenny was sitting in her armchair when I walked in.

"I've been to Team Rocket's hideout!" I gasped.

"Really?" she looked shocked.

"Yeah, and they said they were going to take over the radio tower."

Officer Jenny smiled.

"Are you sure you didn't imagine all this?"

"I'm certain!"

"Well, maybe we should take you to Nurse Joy's general hospital. You look sick."

It was then I remembered what Officer Jenny had said before.

"The radio tower seems to malfunction the translators. As a result, the translators sales have dropped dramatically since we discovered that they dn't work in Goldenrod."

Officer Jenny was part of Team Rocket. I remembered her voice was the voice of the leader. THe traitor was not a traitor to team rocket, it was a traitor to the law!

"I-I think I better go now."

"No, do stay."

"No, I really gotta go..."

She stepped in my way and wouldn't let me pass. I tried going around but she blocked me.

"Time to show you what my growlithe is made of."

SHe lugged her growlithe out and got a knife and was about to cut it open when I cried, "No, don't hurt it!"

"You fool!" she hissed, and slit growlithe's back.

"No!!!" I cried.


Okay! That's it. If I don't get more reviews I'm going to leave the story HANGING. Yes, HANGING till I get at least THREE reviews.
