Chapter 16 - Mount Moon
We entered the cave and looked around inside.
'I don't see any rare pokemon, Jock,' said Kash.
'Don't be so stupid, Kash!' said Christy. 'You don't just walk into the cave and immediately see rare pokemon - you have to be patient!'
'Sorry,' Kash murmured. We kept walking through the cave, still not seeing any pokemon.
'Surely we should have seen at least one pokemon by now,' said Jock.
'I think you're right,' said Christy. 'Something fishy's going on here.'
'That's for sure,' said Jock. 'This place is usually full of zubats and geodudes...'
He trailed off as we heard voices in the distance.
'Just put them in the net!'
'Shut up, I know what I'm doing!'
'Will you two stop arguing and get on with this?'
'Leave us alone, you're not helping!'
'Those voices sound like....' started Kash.
'Team Rocket!' said Christy. 'I bet they've got something to do with the pokemon going missing!'
'They'd better not be trying to steal the pokemon!' said Kash. 'Pikachu, get in there and find them!'
I jumped off Kash's back and headed towards the voices. As I turned a corner I spotted three figures - two humans and a pokemon. I knew straight away that they were Team Rocket. They had their backs to me so they hadn't noticed me yet. I looked around them and saw that there were three huge nets with pokemon trapped inside! Sandy and Scott were trying to push a small, crab-like pokemon with mushrooms on its back into another net.
'Let those pokemon out!' I ordered. Sandy, Scott and Meowth turned around.
'It's that pikachu!' said Meowth. 'Quick, get the net!'
Sandy let go of the pokemon and picked up the net it was in. She held it in her hands and walked to me slowly.
'I'm not going to fall for that!' I said and ran out of the way.
'Come here, little pikachu!' said Sandy. 'I'm not trying to hurt you!'
She sounded a lot nicer than she had before. Maybe she was being serious..... no, she couldn't be! She had trapped all these pokemon in nets! I wasn't going to trust her!
'Look out!' said a voice. I turned and saw that the pokemon Scott was holding was yelling at me. 'Behind you!'
I turned around and found myself face to face with Meowth.
'You're not going to escape this time, Pikachu!' he said and stepped closer to me. I walked back and bumped into something. Turning around, I realised I had bumped into Sandy's leg. She laughed at me and reached towards me with her arms.
'Get away!' I said angrily and sent out an electric shock. Sandy cried out and fell over. She growled at me and stood up again.
'Don't you think you can escape Team Rocket!' she said. With a swing of her arm she threw the net over me and I was trapped once again. I tried to break through the net but my electric shocks weren't powerful enough to break the net.
Just then, Kash, Christy and Jock walked in. Kash took one look at me and gasped.
'Give me back Pikachu!' he demanded. Sandy laughed.
'No way,' she said.
'Pikachu is ours now,' said Scott. He dropped the pokemon that he had been holding and picked up my net with Sandy.
'I can't wait to see what the boss says when we bring him this Pikachu!' said Sandy.
'He'll be sure to give us all promotions!' smiled Scott.
'He'll get rid of that Persian and I'll be the number one pokemon!' said Meowth happily.
'No you don't!' said Kash. 'Beedrill! I choose you!'
Kash threw his pokeball and Beedrill came out.
'Beedrill!' I said happily. My friend spotted me in the net and turned to Team Rocket angrily.
'You'd better let Pikachu go!' it said.
'We're not scared of your pathetic pokemon!' said Sandy. 'Go, Grimer!'
'Go Mankey!' said Scott. Both of them threw their pokeballs and their pokemon appeared.
'Go Beedrill!' said Kash. 'Use your poison sting!'
Beedrill flew down at the pokemon and stabbed them with its stingers. They didn't seem to be hurt much.
'Grimer, poison gas!' called Sandy. Grimer sent out a puff of gas which hit Beedrill. My friend suddenly went purple in the face and fell to the ground.
'I'm poisoned!' it cried out.
'Beedrill!' Kash exclaimed. With Beedrill fainted, how was I ever going to escape?

She sounded a lot nicer than she had before. Maybe she was being serious..... no, she couldn't be! She had trapped all these pokemon in nets! I wasn't going to trust her!
