[Recap: JnJnM (Jessie and James and Meowth) have been given one last chance to steal a Pokémon or be kicked out of Team Rocket. It's a kid in Johto, and they've got to steal a Nidoking. Should be a piece of cake, with Ash and company gone to Hoenn.]

Meowth surveyed the wreckage of the Giant Pikachu Robot. "Maybe that was the selfdestruct button, not the door opener."

"Meowth you idiot!" James raged "How can you possibly expect Jessie and I to steal that kid's Pokémon if we don't even have a big robot to hide i-to operate out of?"

"Oh, forget the robot, James." Jessie snapped "We'll just have to use these, she said, hoisting two Bazookas onto her shoulders. "This one's a net, and this one's a missile," she said, handing the net to James. "Now let's get going."

"But Jess. What if he tells his Pokémon to attack us? We'll be unprotected!"

"James, you baby! Stop whining and act like a man! We're the bad guys, we've got the weapons, and we've got the element of surprise. We'll be fine."

"But but but. Oh, okay, I guess you know best." James grumbled sarcastically.

"That's right." Jessie said. "Now, this kid lives just south of here, so let's get a move on." So saying, Team Rocket's wackiest (for sure, ^_^) trio sets off for an innocent victim's house. Arriving, they climb a tree and pull out their trademark Rocket Binoculars. Y'know - the black ones with a little red triangle. ?

"There! I see him!" Jessie cried out triumphantly "That's the one! And look, his Nidoking! Oh, it's soo handsome." Jessie said, her voice slipping into the "Sparkly-eyes" voice.

"Jess! Get a hold of yourself! That thing's huge! How are we supposed to nab it?"

"Honestly, James, am I the only one who bothers to plan? Take this" She said, exasperated, and handed James the bazooka loaded with a net.

"Jess." James whined "How come YOU get the explodie one? I want the explodie one."

"Because, James, YOU, unlike ME cannot aim. If the net misses, we bazooka it. But if the bazooka were to miss, who knows what damage it might cause."

"Hee hee hee. Boom!" James muttered under his breath. Then, to Jessie, "Aren't we here to cause damage?" James asked, slightly confused. "If. I mean. Why bother being careful? Wouldn't that be damaging to our reputation?"

"Hmm. good point." Jessie decided "Here James, YOU take the exploding one."

[James laughs his high-pitched evil(fruity) laugh]

A few minutes later, the kid went into his backyard to train with his Nidoking. As soon as the two were standing close enough together, James let fly with his bazooka. A huge amount of dirt flew into the air, blocking the target's vision. Through the temporary fog, Team Rocket heard that familiar phrase. "What's going on?"

[Slow, evil, low laugh from TR]

"Prepare for Trouble!"

"Make it double"

"To protect the world from devastation"

"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's got one last chance to get it right"

"So do what we say or prepare to fight fight fight!"

"Meowth! That's -"

"Waaaaabuffet!"

[More low, evil laughter]

"Sorry to break it to you, Kid," Jessie began "But we're here for your Nidoking. So hand it over." She said, her voice losing any pretense of sweet ladylikeness.

"You can't do that!" The kid shouted. "I raised that Nidoking from a baby Nidoran!"

"Well then you wasted a lot of your time didn't you?" James asked, in his serious voice. "That Nidoking now belongs to us!"

"Ha!" Jessie exclaimed, and launched the net. A missile shot out of the end, headed straight towards Nidoking. It tried to run, but the missile exploded in midair, releasing a net that pinned it to the ground. "Arbok! Go! Make sure the kid doesn't try anything funny; use your Glare Attack!" At her command, Jessie's Arbok came out of its Pokéball, and slithered over to the kid, where it stared deep into the kids eyes. Paralyzed by the attack, the kid could only watch helplessly as Team Rocket hoisted Nidoking up in their balloon. 30 feet above the ground, and ready to leave, Jessie called Arbok back.

"See you later, kid!" James exclaimed triumphantly. "Now let's get this thing to the boss!"

"NO! MINE! MINE MINE MINE!!!!!" The kid screamed "I WILL FOLLOW YOU AND BEAT YOU DOWN AND TAKE BACK MY--- Oh shhaaaargh--"

"Hee hee hee." James chuckled, watching another rocket head towards the kid. "I love these things."
