[Chapter Four]
Vegeta awoke to voices. It took him a few seconds, but he realised they were the voices of the people who got out of the elevator. He tried to listen, but his hearing was fuzzy. It cleared after a few seconds.
"Nah. He was too strong to be any normal person."
"Maybe he's a Pokémon trainer."
"He wasn't carrying Pokémon, remember?"
Vegeta tried to talk, to tell them that he was the mightiest warrior this side of the galaxy, but all that came out was a moan. He opened his eyes slowly to look around.
Near the end of his bed stood Jessie and James, who had turned to face him when they heard the moan. They looked clueless.
Meowth poked his head up over the bed. "Hey look, he's awake!"
"You're right." Jessie agreed.
Vegeta looked at the two at the end of his bed, and noticed that the people were wearing some kind of uniform, which was white with a big red 'R'. Then he turned to the .... thing. It looked like a cat, but Vegeta was sure that cats had noses. Of course, Earth was the only planet he knew of with cats and he'd only met Scratch and a couple of Dr Brief's other cats, so it was hard to be sure.
Vegeta decided that things were getting a little too weird. He had been to many planets, seen many races, but was sure that right now he was going insane. His best bet, he supposed, was to get to Bulma.
He got up. Or at least tried. He almost panicked, was he getting weaker and weaker by the second?
"Hold it, you can't get up!" James told him.
"You haven't recovered enough yet." Jessie insisted.
"Besides, the nurse strapped you to the bed." Meowth pulled back the covers to show him.
Vegeta glared at them, as if it were all their fault. He lay down, resolving to work at that little problem later.
"So." He said to them. "Who are you?"
Jessie and James grinned at each other.
"You hear that James?" Jessie asked.
"I did! He asked who we were!" James replied.
"I love saying the Motto!" Meowth said.
"Prepare for trouble!" Jessie announced.
"Make it double!" James agreed.
"To protect the world from devistation!"
"To unite all peoples within our 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!"
"Meowth, that's right!" Meowth concluded.
"Uh-huh," Vegeta said slowly, now beginning to doubt their sanity more than his own. "Team Rocket, huh? So where am I?"
"You're in the Viridian City hospital." James told him.
"We brought you here after you landed on our tree." Meowth said.
"How did you get so beat up?" Jessie asked.
"It was those BLASTED ANDROIDS!!!" Vegeta yelled, suddenly very angry and fighting against his restraints. "Darn them! And KAKAROTTO! They're the reason I landed on that STUPID ISLAND! And then.... the rock snake... and the balls! Those red and white balls! And... and... the pig-monkey! The pig-monkeys!!"
Vegeta looked very confused and frustrated.
"What's going on in here?" the nurse poked her head through the curtains.
"Nothing." Team Rocket chorused.
The nurse disappeared again.
"So, uh, that aside... what's you're name?" James asked.
"I am PRINCE VEGETA!!!!" he roared. "RULER OF THE SAIYANS!!"
"What's that yelling?" the nurse had poked her head in again.
"Nothing." Team Rocket chorused again.
The nurse gave a them very disapproving look, then returned to her work.
"Vegeta, huh?" James said.
Vegeta glared at him.
"Well, I'm sorry for your injuries, Mr Vegeta, but I'm afraid Team Rocket did you a service, helping you out of that tree. And Team Rocket doesn't do stuff for free." Meowth told him.
"That's right!" Jessie agreed. "You ruined our plan to catch Pikachu, and so you must pay the price."
"Cash or cheque, either is good." James added.
"What?!?" Vegeta demanded. "I don't have any money!"
"What? No money? How dare you!" Jessie was ready to pound Vegeta.
"Wait, Jessie. I have an idea." James huddled to his team-mates and whispered to them.
"That's a great idea!" Meowth exclaimed when James was finished.
"See? I'm not a dunderhead!" James told them.
"C'mon, let's go tell the boss." Jessie grabbed James and Meowth and stormed out.
Vegeta glared after them.
'What are they up to?' he wondered.
