Chapter 5
"Well, who are you?" Sonic asked forcefully.
"Why should we tell YOU, you blue freak!?" Jessie snapped.
"WHAT did you CALL ME??" Sonic screamed, clenching his fists.
"Sonic, stop. The overlanders still haven't told us what they were doing on the cosmic interstate! Don't do anything rash!" Tails said, calming his friend down.
"And we're KEEPING our mouths shut, until we see someone of authority!" Jessie said. James, who had been silent this whole time, finally spoke.
"Jessie, can't you at LEAST be calm enough to see that Meowth is gone?"
"Huh? Wha - Oh, my goodness! Where could he be?" Jessie said as she and James looked for someone or something named Meowth.
"Who's Meowth? Is he a friend of yours?" Tails asked.
"Yes, he's a friend! He's our pokemon! He can talk, you know." James said. Sonic and Tails looked at them like they were crazy.
"Er…what's a pokemon?" Sonic asked quizzically, forgetting his earlier hostility. Jessie and James stared at him like he was the most inferior being in the universe.
"You don't…….know??" Jessie said, astonished. Surely there were at LEAST pokemon in this strange world? Yeah, she was conversing with a brown, two tailed Eevee and a blue, spiky Sandshrew, but no pokemon at all? It was too much.
"How about," Sonic said, "we leave the explaining until we get to Mobotropoli-"
BEE - BEEP! BEE - BEEP!
"Huh?" Sonic said, "Oh! My com-watch! Sonic here." A picture of Princess Sally appeared on his watch screen.
"Sonic! You need to come down here now! We got a group of overlanders here who say they came via the cosmic interstate! They don't seem like a threat, but you should come down anyway!" She said.
"I read ya' sal! Me and Tails found a couple of our own out here in the forest! How many do you have?" Sonic stated importantly.
"We've got three kids, two older guys, and a strange yellow looking creature." Sally said. Team Rocket (as we know they are called) jumped up and looked excited.
"Those must be the twerps!" Jessie said.
"Now we can capture Pikachu!" James said. They both grabbed each other's hands and did a victory dance.
"Yeah, well our guys are older, one guy and one girl. The girl has big red hair and the boy has blue hair. They both have an R on their shirts. They seem to recognize your description of the kids." Sonic said.
"Affirmative. I'll ask them. Just come down here, okay?" Sally said. Sonic turned to the dancing pair and sighed.
"Alright. Let's go. Link hands and hold on. Tails? Follow behind and make sure they don't let go." Said Sonic. Jessie and James looked apprehensively at each other, then did what he asked. Sonic suddenly zipped out of sight, with Tails hot on his heels.
"AAAHH!!" Jessie screamed.
"EEEE HE HE HE HE!!" James screamed girlishly. As Sonic turned sharply, James, who had the end of the line, was bashed into tree trunks.
"You okay?" Tails yelled to James.
"I-I'm ockhay!" James dizzily yelled. His face was being bashed in, but, as he said, he seemed okay.
"James will be alri-i-i-ght! He's got a thick he-e-ed!" Jessie yelled with difficulty. When Sonic finally stopped, he set Team Rocket down. They stood on wobbly legs, staring at the city of Mobotropolis, which has been described earlier in the story. The only thing that Team Rocket saw that Ash and co. didn't was the hovercraft. They were all flying to and fro, transporting citizens to work and home.
"Whoa. That's….big. Really big." James said, astonished.
"Yeah, and the…hovercraft….whoa." Jessie said, as awestruck as James.
"Yup. That's our city. Magnificent, isn't it?" Tails said.
"C'mon!" Sonic yelled impatiently. He grabbed them again and soon they were standing inside the council chamber, where Princess Sally sat in her chair, along with the other leaders.
"Hey Sal'!" Sonic said, smiling, "I got the overlanders!"
"Great Sonic!" Sally said, also smiling, "But I think they can talk for themselves!"
"Finally! Some authority!" Jessie said, "I need to talk to you!"
"Well, who are you?" Sonic asked forcefully.
"Why should we tell YOU, you blue freak!?" Jessie snapped.
"WHAT did you CALL ME??" Sonic screamed, clenching his fists.
"Sonic, stop. The overlanders still haven't told us what they were doing on the cosmic interstate! Don't do anything rash!" Tails said, calming his friend down.

"Finally! Some authority!" Jessie said, "I need to talk to you!"
