"Are you sure this is accurate information?" he asks a man around twenty one years old with green eys and purple hair parted in the middle. "Oh yes!" exclaims the man, "This is uh.... information to get a uh... super-rare pokémon!". "Yes," says a woman with blue eyes and long reddish-pink hair of about the same age of the man, "This is the most accurate information you can find!". "Really?" he says with some uncertainty in his voice.
"Positive!"
"Okay... how much does it cost?"
"Er..... fifteen hundred up front!"
"Fifteen hundred?! What do you take me for?!"
She rubs his shoulder gently, "Well, if you don't want the information... then I guess I can find someone else to sell it to."
"Okay okay! I'll buy it!"
"Damn..." he says to himself angrily, "I can't believe I was so stupid!". High above, out of his view, a hot air balloon with a Meowth designed balloon hovers overhead.
"There's dat kid!" Meowth says gleefully. Jessie and James laugh in unison.
"That stupid little twerp." Jessie says, "He actually believed that a pokémon would appear?"
"What an idiot!" James remarks.
"Now he's mad, let's steal his pokémon. Maybe there's something good enough to present to the Boss."
"That kid? He looks like he might have some pretty weak pokémon."
"Who cares? Besides... Team Rocket steals pokémon from any person!"
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
"Hey wait!" Meowth says, pointing at four figures on the ground.
"Who's that?"
"It's da twerps!"
"Let's go!" Jessie commands, "Commence attack!"
"You got it!" James holds a remote control and presses the only button on it. Below their feet in another compartment of the basket they are in opens, dropping smoke bombs onto the figures below.
The bombs hit the ground, exploding on impact. Light grey smoke emerges from the bombs and envelopes the ground instantly. "What the?" Ash says, startled. Jessie and James's laughs can be heard.
"Prepare for trouble!" Jessie says as she walks out of the smoke screen, into the view of Ash, Misty and Brock.
"And make it double!" says James as he steps out, following Jessie's lead.
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all people within out nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"TEAM ROCKET! Blast off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now... or prepare to fight!"
"Meeoowth! That's right!" Meowth says as he hops into view.
"Don't you guys ever give up?" Ash says with some boredom in his voice.
"Never!" Jessie yells at him, "Not until you give up your Pikachu!"
"You're not gonna get Pikachu!"
Jason watches the whole thing from atop the tower, "Hey, wait!" he says out loud, "Those are the people who tricked me! Hey wait... isn't that...?" he strains his eyes to focus on Ash, "It is! It's Ash!"
"Go get 'em, Pikachu!" Ash says to the yellow electric mouse pokémon at his feet. "Ash!" says Brock, "Be careful of what you do here!"
"Huh? Why?"
"This is a sacred tower which stands before us!"
"Oh... Pikachu, be careful not to hit the building." Pikachu nods. "Weezing, go!" James yells as he tosses out the PokéBall containing the purple sphere-like toxic pokémon. "WEEZ!" Weezing cries as it materializes in the air.
"Pikachu! Give it an electric shock!"
Pikachu charges electric energy in its cheeks, "PIKA!!!!" it screams as it sends electricity into the Weezing's body.
"Weezing, Sludge Bomb!" Weezing fires a ball of toxic materials out of its mouth.
"Pikachu, dodge and counter it!" Immediately, Pikachu jumps out of the way, sending an electrical current towards Weezing, electricuting it.
"Oh no, Weezing return!" he holds out Weezing's pokéball and sends the red beam towards it, sending it back into the haven of the ball. "Victreebel go!" As soon as the plant-type oversized flycatcher pokémon emerges, James finds himself in the pokémon's vast inside. "Arbok! Go!" Jessie yells out as she tosses out the ball, making the huge purple cobra, Arbok, emerge from it. "Cyndaquil!!! I choose you!" says Ash as he tosses out the pokéball containing the fire mouse, Cyndaquil, emerge. "Cyndaquil! Flamethrower!"
"Arbok, bind it now!" Arbok wraps itself around Cyndaquil, trapping it, and squeezing harder each passing second. "Cynda.... quil...." Cyndaquil weakly calls out as it passes out. "No! Cyndaquil!"
"Damn," Jason says, "Ash is getting beaten by those two." A small green pokémon appears behind him and playfully taps him on the shoulder. "Huh?" he looks behind him. Startled, he falls head first over the edge, hitting two edges of the tower, then grabbing onto the next one he comes to. His grip on the sleek surface of the edge diminishes fast. The next thing he knows, he's falling towards the ground.
He lands on the Arbok, causing it to release its grip on Ash's Cyndaquil; causing him, in turn, to fall onto the ground on his back. "It's that kid!" pronounces Jessie. "Huh?" Jason says, dazed. "Jason?" Ash says in astonishment, "Is that you?"
"Hey there Ash! Did I catch you at a bad time?"
"Not at all."
"Alright then," he gets off of the ground with a little bit of Ash's help, "Let's teach these two about defeat! Jolteon GO!" he lightly tosses out a pokéball, making the electric evolution of Eevee emerge. "Pikachu! Help out Jolteon!" Ash says.
"Oh no!" Jessie says, "We're going to-"
Jolteon and Pikachu send out seperate electric shocks that combine to form one, striking the hot air balloon, causing it to explode, hurling Jessie, James, and Meowth into the air. "We didn't even get to at least have a bigger part!" Jessie screams as she hurls through the air. "Maybe we'll come back...?" James assures them. "In any case..." Meowth says. "LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF AGAIN!!!!" they all scream out in unison as they are sent flying clear over the horizon.
