"Do we KNOW you?" Jessie shouted to the man in the balloon.
"Ah Team Rocket! Our arch enemies! I just HAVE TO make a sketch of this!" the shadowed blob cried.
He pulled out a huge easel and started sketching.
"Oh no, it can't be!" Misty cried.
"Oh sorry! Lemme introduce myself. Ahem," the man cleared his throat.

"I am a fat man with a dream,
I wear fat clothes.
They don't fit,
Everyone calls me a pervert.
Cus that's what I am pervert! And I'm the leader of Cwoko Stupid Farm!
YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
And my name is Tracey but you should call me by the name of FATERMOP!!!!!!!!"
he shouted while posing in dorky positions, his blubber flying everywhere.
"Whoo! Look at that blubber fly!" Fatermop laughed when he saw his oversized gut wobble around.
"Cwoko Stupid Farm? What's that? And, a hey Brock! What are you doing you're meant to be on our side!" Ash shouted.
Brock was bouncing up and down on his head trying to find his way up onto the huge balloon.
"I'm.. sorry.. Ash... but I'm an... undercover... for the Cwoko.. Stupid.. ah Farm!," Brock said between bumps, then
landed in the balloon *after it came right down to the ground*.
Gary flapped his arms about trying to get into the balloon.
"Hey! Get that music going Gary! Wiggle wiggle wiggle! Wiggle just for fun!" Fatermop laughed
and started blobbering around again.
"I will Fat fatermop! I will ya fat mop!" Gary answered back fluttering around.
"Touch your nose with your elbow stick your foot up high! Then try to fly!"
"I am you dumbo. Bla bla," Gary started flurrying more than ever but was cut off by Ash.
"Pikachu! Zap these dorks to kingdom cum!" he cried.
"Pika... CHUUUUUUUUUU!" Pikachu shouted as he sent out a ray of electricity straight at the balloon.
As soon as the bolt touched the fabric of the balloon it started to crash down.
"Arbok/Weezing! Get in there!" Jessie and James shouted in unison and threw their pokeballs.
"Chaaar!" Arbok hissed.
"Weezing!" Weezing puffed smoke out.
"Weezing, use your Scary Face!" James commanded.
"Arbok you too!" Jessie called out.
The two poison pokemon used their Scary Face attacks to stop the Cwoko Stupid Team in their tracks. "Yeah!" Jessie and James
smiled.
"Jessie! James! Why didn't you attack them?" Ash whined.
"Oh yeah I fergot yer new ta dis aintcha? Well we don't believe in usin pokemon against people. Pokemon attacks are fer
pokemon battles only. Dat's our rule, and it's also a reason why we always used ta lose ta ya so often," Meowth
explained.
"He's right Ash, we do attack specifically at THEM. I think we should stop," Mity looked at Ash.
Ash nodded.
"I don't know how we're going to get rid of them then," he asked.
"Hmm," Misty thought.
"Ash! Use that new Haunter you caught to create an illusion to distract Cwoko Stupid and lure them away from
us! Make it like what happened in that forest with the HootHoot Rova girl!" Jessie answered Ash's question.
Ash nodded again.
"Haunter, I choose you!" Ash threw his pokeball.
Great! He didn't turn his hat backwards this time! Misty thought and gave Ash a silent clap.
"Haunter Haunter!" Haunter cried.
Ash commanded him to use his confusion power.
Haunter's eyes glowed purple when he started to attack.

"What? Hey! It's a Romomack! One of those newly discovered pokemon! I'm gunna catch it! Come back here Romomack!
Fatermop wants to have you!" Fatermop chased after the blue pokemon.
"A Romomack illusion! Great job Haunter!" Misty cheered.
Haunter did a cute little cheerleading dance. Everyone laughed.
Brock and Gary were chasing after their leader. "We'll be back to be stupid again!" Gary shouted back to them.
"Hey, this turned out way different than what it started out like huh guys?" Ash said going over the facts.
"You're right. First you were spiteful with Jessie and James, now we're their friends, Brock and Gary turned out to be in a group of
pathetic stupid losers, and now we're, well we're free. So what are we gunna do now?" Misty answered.
"Well now that we're friends, maybe we can go along wit hyou on your pokemon journey. James and I have always
wanted to be pokemon masters like you do so maybe we can earn some badges and catch some new pokemon. While we were following you
we managed to get the same amount of badges as you did while in disguise so we don't have to go back to the previous towns
to get the ones we need. So how about it Ash?" Jessie considered, then held out her hand to shake Ash's. James held
his hand out too.
"Fine! We are now officially traveling buddies!" Ash handed both his hands out and shook Jessie and James' hands.
Meowth held his paw out to Pikachu. Pikachu returned the shake.

"So where to now?" Misty asked.
"Wherever the road takes us!" James replied and swept Jessie of her feet. Jessie giggled.
"Come on Ash, you said you loved Misty so you can do this too," James smield at Ash. Ash smield back and took Misty
and picked her up. He started wobbling a bit then steadied his balance. Then they all set off towards Blackthorn City,
with Pikachu tagging behind Ash, and Meowth running steadily at James' side.
