Erin stepped on the net and right away was caught in it.

"Ha-ha! We caught something, all we have to do is bring this to the boss and," A female voice said. "What? You're not a Pokemon!"

The woman then revealed herself. Erin gave a little gasp for she was wearing the Team Rocket uniform.

"What is it?" said another voice, this one deeper.

The other voice revealed itself as a male Rocket.

"What should we do with her?" the woman asked.

"Lemme go! I wanna go back home!" Erin cried, trying to break free of the net.

"Well, Team Rocket is a little short on employees. Maybe we should see if Giovanni can use her or something," the man said thoughtfully, ignoring Erin.

"Yes, we might even get a promotion!" the woman replied excitedly. "Okay, let's bring her to HQ!"

A few minutes later, Erin found herself being pushed down a hallway towards a pair of big oak doors. She was pushed through by the man and tied to a chair.

"You just stay right there and we'll go get Giovanni." The woman said in a poisoned honey type voice. She came back soon with Giovanni, then left, closing the big doors behind her. Giovanni paced around Erin while she just glared at him.

"So, you want to join Team Rocket, Eh?" he asked her.

"I want to go home!" Erin said.

"Where is 'home'?" Giovanni asked curiously.

"Earth."

Giovanni knelt down so that his eyes were level with the girl's. "I may be able to get you back." He whispered, grinning.

"What's the catch?"

Giovanni stood up and talked in his normal voice. "Well, say you get Pikachu from that Ash-kid," he spoke soft again, "then I'll have enough money to send you home."

"I'm going to need some Pokemon."

"I like the way you think, girl!" Giovanni exclaimed. He pushed a button on the wall, which moved away. There, where the wall was, stood a shelf of pokeballs. "You may choose any Pokeball from this shelf. They are numbered. Then, of course, you will receive your uniform and the classic Meowth," He told her.

"Well, I've always liked Raichus and Persains. I'll take a Raichu and evolve that Meowth!" Erin decided. Giovanni handed her the pokeball and uniform.

"Here is your stuff. Go down the hall and the 3rd door on your left. Tell them Giovanni sent you to get your Meowth. Then get changed, get packed, and get out there!" Giovanni said with enthusiasm. And with that, he turned on his heel and walked out the door. Erin stood there, still thinking about the decision she had made. Finally, she forced her legs to move. She walked down the hall and through the 3rd door on the left. At first, Erin thought she had run into some Meowth daycare. There were Meowths everywhere! Erin walked over to the desk and started to ask for a Meowth but the lady there cut her off.

"New member? Needs a Meowth? Pick one you like." The lady said. Erin could tell she went through this a lot. It was hard to tell any of the Meowths apart, but there was one Meowth that was standing by itself in the corner.

"I'll take that little one- the one in the corner." Erin told the lady.

"Fine, take it away."

Erin put the Meowth in a pokeball and left.
