The Night Before The Tournament
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon.
"Once again Congratulations to Misty for her spectacular win to day! The real tournament won't begin until tomorrow. All you trainers better take your Pokemon to the Pokecenter and, while you're waiting, have fun with the festivities!" The announcer called.
"What type of festivities?" Ritchie asked.
"Tom?" Ash wondered.
"Well, I'm sure it's going to be a Arcade Night." Tom scratched his head wondering.
"Arcade Night! WOW!" Misty cheered.
"I agree!" Duplica yelled.
Everyone ran to the Arcade Center, next to the Pokecenter of course. Flare walks up to Oak. "Hey Sam, shouldn't you have told Ash about the surprises you caught."
Oak smacked his forehead. "Oh my goodness, I was so caught up with the competition I almost forgot. We better give these to Ash; they could help in his next match." Oak pulled out six Pokeballs, and then they ran after Ash and the others.
At the Arcade Center
Misty pointed to what looked like Dance Dance Revolution section. She grabbed Duplica's arm. "Hey Ash, we'll be over at that Dance Dance Revolution game!" She laughed. Ash nodded. Duplica was excited, but she also wished Misty would let go of her arm.
They ran up, there were two people. A man with Bluish Green hair and a blonde woman. "Welcome, what song would you two like to compete on?" The guy asked.
"Compete? We . . . huh . . . we just wanted both do individual matches." Misty mumbled.
"Nonsense. Don't you two want to see who dances the best?" The girl asked.
"Well, that would be nice." Duplica smiled.
"Alright, we will then." Misty agreed.
They got on, however as soon as they did their feet were clamped and gas shot out, knocking them out. The two characters removed their disguises. It was Butch and Cassidy. Jessie and James came out and tied the two up.
"Looks like we do work well together." Jessie laughed.
"Sure does." Cassidy said. The two, however, glared at each other.
"Do you think those to will stand each other Batch?" James asked.
"IT'S BUTCH!" Butch yelled.
Back to Ash and Co
"Hey Tom, how's that DDR game?" Ash asked.
"What?" Tom seemed confused.
"You know, that game where you dance and . . ." Ash started.
"I know the game; I mean what are you talking about? I know for a fact they were unable to get a DDR game." Tom questioned. Ash gasped. "What?" Tom asked.
"We've got to go back this way. Come on." Ash called. He, Tom, Brock, Ritchie, and Pikachu ran back to where Misty and Duplica said they were to be. They ran past Oak and Ash's Parents who saw them and, without saying a word, followed them
Back at the "DDR" area, actually a TR HQ on the edge of a cliff
"You will help us get that Pikachu." Butch growled at Misty.
"Never." Misty snarled.
Butch smacked her across the face, shocking Jessie and James.
"What are you doing?" Jessie protested.
"What? YOU'VE never done that before?" Cassidy asked; Jessie shook her head. "Well what kind of Team Rocket Special Agents are you? The friendly non-violent kind? Team Rocket members are supposed to be cold and cruel otherwise we'd never get anywhere." Jessie was speechless as was James and Mewoth. Cassidy scuffed and left with Butch; Jessie and James left too.
"Misty, you alright?" Duplica asked in a worried voice.
"Ow." Misty moaned. She had a black eye.
"Looks like we just sit here and wait." Duplica sighed.
Later
Ash, Brock, and Tom arrived; Richie had gone to get the police. "How are we going to get in?" Ash asked.
"Go Geodude knock that door down!" Brock yelled. Geodude appeared and rammed the door down.
"Well that's one way." Tom laughed a little, and then his face returned to serious. "Come on!" The three ran in.
Meanwhile
"So what are you planning to get the twerps Pikachu anyway?" Jessie asked.
"Well if you must know; we're planning on filling the girl's room with a poisonous gas that will take a while to take effect." Cassidy laughed. Jessie and James gulped/
"Then we tell the kid to put his Pikachu on this transport device in exchange for the key to open the door." Butch continued. Now Jessie and James relaxed.
"BUT!" Cassidy got an evil look on her face. "We won't send them the key; we'll send them a bomb that'll be timed to explode when the door opens. With the door unopened, the girls will soon perish as well. Ha Ha Ha!" The two laughed like mad.
"That's murder." Jessie protested.
"So." Butch simply said.
"Look, we're only helping you cause you two were actually one of the best on the team, which was why you were made special agents. However, ever since you started to chase this Pikachu, you've gotten dumber and dumber; not only that but, dare I say, nicer and nicer. With that Pikachu out of the way, we hope you'll actually change." Cassidy snarled.
"But still, KILLING the twerps!" James protested.
"Why NOT! They killed the boss didn't they?" Butch roared.
"No they didn't!" Jessie yelled back.
"Were you there?" Cassidy asked enraged.
"Uh . . . No." They said quietly.
"Then how do you know they didn't? Hmm." Cassidy asked.
"We . . . We can't." Jessie and James said quietly.
"Good, it's settle then. We go with the plan and finish the twerps. You two stay with us. We don't want you sabotaging the plan." Butch laughed.
As the four walked off, Jessie whispered to Mewoth. "Mewoth."
"What?" Mewoth asked.
"Try and sabotage their plans somehow." James whispered too.
"What!" Mewoth yelled.
"SHUSH!" The two whispered loudly. "Just do it!"
"Okay, Okay." Mewoth ran off.
Later
"This was too easy Ash. No traps, no surprises, nothing." Tom mentioned.
"I know; it's no like them at all. It seems they actually come up with a great plan and they don't try stopping us from stopping them." Ash wondered.
"Hey, look up there." Brock pointed to a big metal door. "They're in there."
"How can you tell?" Tom asked.
"Mans intuition." Brock said. "And that sign over there." He pointed to a sign that said PRISON BAY! NO RESCUING!
Tom and Ash laughed nervously, then they ran to the door and banged on it. Misty and Duplica heard and tried to call them.
"ASH! TOM! BROCK!" They yelled.
"Misty! Duplica!" The three outside yelled.
Suddenly gas started to slowly pour into the prison room.
"ASH! TOM! There's gas coming in here!" Misty called.
"We better hurry!" Brock motioned. Ash and Tom nodded.
"Dragonite! I choose you!" Tom tossed his Pokeball and out came Dragonite. "Dragonite! Ram the door down!" Tom ordered. Dragonite did, nothing happened.
"What happened?" Ash wondered.
"Pokenium." Tom sighed.
"You mean that stuff you used to get dad and me out of Team Rockets prison months ago?" Ash asked. Tom nodded. "Well than what do we do?"
Tom moved to the door and started feeling it. "Wait, this door is electrical, maybe if Pikachu can shock it, it'll short out and open." Tom suggested.
"Great! Pikachu Thunder . . ." Ash started to say.
"Uh uh uh!" A familiar voice laughed. A monitor lowered from the ceiling and Butch and Cassidy appeared.
"Team Rocket!" Ash accused.
"You got it! Just to warn you, that gas is deadly AND flammable; and we made sure we put in gaps big enough to let electric attacks slip in. You try that little stunt and BOOM! You'll blow up your little girlfriends." Butch laughed.
"What do you want?" Tom demanded.
"We want that Pikachu those losers Jessie and James been trying to steal." Cassidy laughed. "You give us the electric rat, and we'll give you the key. Oh, and you have five minutes before the your girlfriends take the LONG beauty sleep."
Ash sighed a defeated sigh. "How are we to give Pikachu to you?"
"Ash you can't . . ." Brock started to say.
"Don't worry Brock. First we rescue the girls, and then we rescue Pikachu." Ash mumbled.
'That's what you think.' Cassidy thought. "Just put it on that little shoot next to the door." She said in a suspiciously calm voice.
Ash complied and put Pikachu there. "Pika?" Pikachu was confused.
"Don't worry Pikachu; we'll be back for you soon." Ash reassured it.
"Send the bomb." Cassidy whispered to Butch. Jessie and James were standing behind them; they couldn't do a thing.
Ash let go of Pikachu and it went down the shoot. We (the views) see it going through connected pipes. Suddenly it runs into a key and it turns around. The bomb, we see, has stopped in the middle of the pipes. Pikachu pops back up to Ash with the key in its mouth.
"WHAT THE!" Everyone (Ash, Tom, Brock, Butch, and Cassidy) yelled.
"Where's the bomb?" Butch asked.
Deep in the pipes, the bomb is there ticking away until the ticking stops, then suddenly BOOM!
Back at Ash and co. "What's going on?" Misty said loudly.
"Feels like this whole place is about to blow!" Tom announced.
They started to run to the way they came in, but an explosion caused the roof to cave in. "This way!" Ash called.
"WHAT WENT WRONG?" Cassidy yelled.
"EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT!" Butch yelled.
"I think we better get out of her you two." Jessie said calmly.
"Yes, the whole place is about to explode." James said, also calmly.
Butch and Cassidy growled but agreed. The four, five if you count Mewoth, escaped before the command area blew.
"Come on guys, we're almost there." Brock yelled surely.
Misty was the first out, however the exit was very close to the cliff. She stopped before falling off, but she loses her balance. "MISTY!" Ash yelled, he grabbed her arm, but was, unfortunately, pulled over the cliff too.
"ASH!" Brock yelled, he grabbed Ash's legs, but underestimated how heavy the two weighed was fell off too.
"GUYS!" Tom grabbed Brocks legs; he did fall over. The other three breathed sighs of relief. Suddenly the ground beneath Tom's feet gave way. 'Uh oh.' Tom quickly grabbed a nearby tree trunk (nearby as in right behind him) with his legs and held on. You can tell it was more than a little painful.
There was Duplica, standing there worried and wondering what to do when, suddenly, Tom's feet started to slip!, soon the let go and the four fell.
"HELP!" Ash yelled.
Suddenly, there was a familiar call. "Pidgeot!" It was Pidgeot! It flew down and saved the four!
"I . . . I don't believe it!" Ash cheered.
When they landed, there was Oak and Ash's parents.
"Professor! Did . . . Did you capture Pidgeot! What about the Fearow?" Ash asked.
"Well now Ash, the Fearow was captured by a traveling stranger a long time ago, so Pidgeot flew over to my place, probably wanted to wait for you to return. I also have a few other old friends too." Oak took out two Pokeballs and tossed them to the ground.
They opened and out came . . . Primeape and Butterfree!
Ash had tears in his eyes. "I really don't believe it!" He cried. He ran over and hugged them tight.
"Yes Ash, your Butterfree and its family have been staying at my research facility for quite some time now, and you Primeape was given to me by some strange man and few weeks ago. He said Primeape is a true prized fighter now, and he wants you to have it back." Oak told Ash.
"You guys, I'm so happy to see you!" Ash cried.
"Hey Ashy Boy, you can hug and kiss them tomorrow, we all need a good nights rest tonight." Duplica announced.
"You're right! With my friends here back on my team, I just might make it to the championship!" Ash cheered with his fist in the air.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu cheered.
"And so Ash is reunited with some old friends! But will they be enough? And how will Ash's first battle go? Find out next time AFTER A TON OF REVIEWS!
