~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~

The 'Alakazam' turned back into Ditto, and Sophi led the group outside. Everyone noticed their arrival.

Ash-Give us our Pokémon NOW!!!

Jessie-First give us the REAL Multi-lution stone!

Ash pulled out a Pokéball, and Misty and Brock followed. Ash looked to Gary.

Ash-Help us!

Gary-I can't. I refuse to battle her.

Sophi-Do as you must, Gary.

Gary reluctantly pulled out a Pokéball.

Sophi-Goooooooo Ninetales!

Ash, Misty, and Brock were up against Jessie and James. Professor Oak and Mrs. Ketchum had left already, not expecting Team Rocket to come back. Suddenly, the five battlers glared over at Gary and Sophi, who were not battling.

Ash-Just battle her!!!

Sophi-Get it over with.

Gary-I.I can't, Sophi. I just love you too much.

James felt a bit jealous when Sophi started to cry and Gary held her in his arms. But when their hold on each other broke, everyone noticed something. Their smile, their skin tone, many of their basic features..they were the same.

Ash-You two are.

Sophi-Cousins. Professor Oak is actually my uncle. My mother was his sister. Her name was Laura, and she died a year ago. And she was in Team Rocket. Ever since I was able to walk she taught me how to steal, lie, and cheat. And you all must admit. I'm good.

She threw a Pokéball and Weezing popped out.

Sophi-SMOKE SCREEN!

When the smoke screen cleared, Sophi, James, Jessie, and Meowth were gone.

Ash-THE MULTI-LUTION STONE! THE REAL ONE! IT'S GONE!!!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

When they stopped coughing, Jessie and James looked over at Sophi who was just calling her Dragonite back into the Pokéball.

Sophi-Here. Take this.

She tossed them the Multi-lution stone.

James-How did you get it?

Sophi-Like I said before, I was taught well. Now all we have to do is get out of this thick forest. Right around the other side is the boss' building.

Sophi called out her father's Persian.

Sophi-Lead us through the forest.

The Persian nodded and started leading them. When Sophi turned around, James was the only one not moving.

James-That Persian..she looks familiar.

A billion thoughts raced through his head.

James-You said she's your fathers?

Sophi nodded. Suddenly James' eyes widened. When they had dropped the Pokémon off he had noticed something.

James-Oh my God.what's your last name?

Sophi-My full name is Sophi Laura Patrillo.

Jessie, James, and Meowth-YOU MEAN YOU'RE THE BOSS' DAUGHTER?!

Sophi-Yes. My mother married him. She was his best agent, full of energy and spunk. She had only been a member of Team Rocket for a month, and already she was his best. She worked alone, like me, and she was just as lady like. They married and she became vice president of Team Rocket Corporation. Then, about a year later, I was born. When Professor Oak found out that his sister had married Giovanni, he told their family, and they disowned her. Which in turn meant that I was no longer a member of their family. All I had was my mother and father. About a year ago my mother died of Pneumonia. She died while escaping my father's high security recovery room. She couldn't be held in a single room. She was a traveler, and had to be doing something. But she was just too sick. My father held me almost hostage in my room, not wanting to loose me too. I was all he had. And when the Multi-lution stone was stolen, he knew that with Ash's record, and with Professor Oak against him, I was the only one who could get it back.

Jessie-But.but why didn't you tell us?

Sophi-To tell you the truth, I was ashamed of being his daughter.

James-Why? You could have been our leader, told us what to do, and gotten the respect you deserved.

Sophi-I didn't even want to help in the first place.

James-What do you mean?

Sophi-I'm not sure if you've noticed, but I don't exactly look like much of a villain.

Jessie-You got that right.

Sophi-I'm only a member of Team Rocket because I have to. But if it were my choice, I would be a Pokémon trainer. I would travel around and rescue injured Pokémon, and work in a Pokémon center, and breed Pokémon.

Jessie-Then why don't you tell your father?

Sophi-It's not that easy. I've tried, but he just keeps telling me that it's too dangerous to go out on my own.

James-And yet it's safe to let you go up against four trainers with dangerous Pokémon and steal an evolution stone?

Sophi-You just don't understand. He's been blinded by my mother's death, and he just can't think straight.

Suddenly, they were stopped by a guard.

Guard-Miss Sophi, glad to see you back. The boss was getting worried.

Sophi-Thank you, Mitchell. That will be all.

Sophi led them into a small room where Giovanni was sitting at the desk waiting for them.

Giovanni-Did you get it?

Sophi-Yes sir.

Sophi handed him the stone. When he took it, he grabbed her arm.

Giovanni-You're bleeding.

She looked down at a gash in her right arm.

Sophi-Oh, it's nothing.I must have gotten it in the forest.

Giovanni-James. I put you in charge of her. And what happens? BOTH OF YOU ARE FIRED! AND FOR LETTING HER GET HURT, GUARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A guard rushed into the room.

Giovanni-Take them to the dungeons.

Jessie-Dungeons?

The guard escorted them to the downstairs dungeons.

Sophi-Daddy! No! You can't! It wasn't their fault!!!

Giovanni just shook his head in despair.

Giovanni-Already they've corrupted your mind. Go up to your room before something worse happens to you. I'll have the nurse come in and check up on you.

Sophi went up to her room.

Sophi, thinking-I have to do something. He's going crazy. This can't go on.

And with that, as Sophi cried, she began plotting.
