Chapter LXI- Team Rockets HQ

"They have Team Rocket problems." James said and turned to Jessie. "Jess...come

on.....we got this far and I mean, I don't want to see them again."

"James. This is our chance to make up for all the stupid stuff we did as Team Rocket

memebers! We have to help them! We know where HQ is, we know how to get in, and we

know our way around!" Jessie said and James walked into the house, leaving Jessie at the

door. "James....!...?" She sighed heavily then walked out the door to stand with us and

closed it behind her. "I'm sorry about him." Jessie said and bowed polietly. "You have to

understand that Team Rocket wasn't very nice to us after all of our mess-ups." She said

sadly.

"What do you mean?" I asked curious and she continued,

"Well....after we made our final mistake, they spilt the three of us up. James was heart

broken. It took him a year to finally figure out where they had posted me, and we still

can't find Meowth....we don't know if he's even alive...." She said and bowed her head.

"Then finally they took our pokemon.....my Arbok...my Wubuffet....his Victreebel, and his

Weezing, then kicked us out....after James went and tried to take on Giovanni. Giovanni

shot him down and used James own hypnotized pokemon against him to try and kill him.

So you see....he's not very fond of them." Jessie said and looked up. "But I'll help you."

"But we need both of you!" Erika said and we all looked at her. "If we split up, we can

find the dragon easier then if we stick together. Jessie goes with one group, James goes

with the other!" Erika said and suddenly the door opened. James stood in it, looking more

distrought then normal, but came outside and grabbed onto Jessies hand.

"If you go. I go Jess." He said and it was settled. Jessie jumped onto Ryu with Erika,

James barrowed my Pidgeot, me and Jarod rode on Pegasadon, and Noki on Charizard.

They directed us where to go, and we finally made it after flying over water and

lots of forests to the Team Rocket Hid out. It was covered in branches, trees and vines, it

looked like nothing unusual to me, but James insisted that was it. It was on a small Island

that Jessie said they used to do experiments on pokemon on. As we got closer to landing

on it, I could see small hints of windows and a little of a black building.

Then we landed in the thick jungle like forest of the island. I pushed aside brush to

make a path, while Jessie and James decided which way was the fastest enterance. We left

our pokemon out incase of the fact there might be Team Rocket members around. Then

Jessie and James were interupted by Noki.

"Ugh....guys...? It' called Teleportation." She said and waved to her Sylebi sitting

peacefully on a stump.

"Oh....dugh." Jarod said and we all huddled around Sylebi. Everyone called their pokemon

back into their pokballs, including Raichu and in an instant the world was spinning, then

dissapeared and we were inside the cold steel and stone compund. There was almost no

lights, and there were deffinetly no windows any of us can see.

"Oh my gosh! What have they done with this place?? It used to look so inviting when we

were last here..." Jessie said and looked around.

"I think that was just you Jess...You put up all the decorations remember? Giovanni

probably threw them all out after we left."

"Oh yeah..." She said and looked around. "Oh! I know where we are! We have to go this

way!" She said and led us down a row of corridors that looked the same as the rest.

"Are you sure we're not going in circles Jess...?" James asked as he looked around.

"No way! I decorated these halls way to many times to be lost in them now!" She said and

turned a corner where the corridor ended and there was a huge door.

"What the hell is that for?" Jarod asked and pointed at the door.

"A big pokemon requires a big door." James said and went up to the lock. "Ugh...can you

teleport us inside....I can't open this lock...it's digital..."

"We can try..." She called her out and tried to teleport, but for some reason nothing was

happening. "What's wrong?" She asked Sylebi and it scratched its head.

"They must have barrier around that room that prevents us from teleporting in." Jarod said

and looked at the lock. "Hey Jim....you got your cell phone?" He asked and James pulled

it out, handing it to him.

"What are you going to do?" I asked and watched as he took some fire wire out of his

pocket, fiddled around with his and James' cell phones, then hooked it up to the lock after

taking it's panel off.

"Ok, get ready to run people...this'll only keep it open for about a minute..." He said as

there was a spark, and the door slide open. "Ok! Now!" He said, and one by one we

dodged into the next room. We all stood stuned. In the huge room there were hundreds of

cages with strange noises occasionally floating throught the air.

"This is eally creepy..." I said and clung onto Jarod as he put the modded phones into his

pocket for later use.

"What is this place you two?" Erika asked as she walked forward looking at all the glass

and bar cages on the walls.

"This is basically the basement of Team Rocket....they keep all their failed experiments

here..." He said and we all began to look around. There were small, big, and deformed

pokemon of all kinds in thes cages...come were more scarey then others...some just looked

pathetically at us.

"Oh!!!! You guys here!!!" Erika shouted and we all ran over to the cage she was looking

at. There was what seemed to be a small spikey ball of fluff inside.

"Is it a cat?" Jarod asked and it turned it's head around to look at us.

"No!! Oh my gosh it's like a mini Jolteon!" Sure enough as it got up in the cage and

walked over to the bars it was obviously a Jolteon, but much smaller. "You guys we have

to save it!!" She said and tried to pull off the bars with all her strength, then kicked the

latch of it. "Damn...Ah! Maybe Ryu can menlt it!"

"Ugh....one is he gonna fit in here....and two...can he melt it without killing the mini Jolt?"

I asked but it was too late, Erika had already dropped his pokeball and we all flew

backwards as he materialized. "Ok...well question one answerd..."

"Ryu! I want you to melt the bars...but be careful! There's only a thin plexi glass between

your fire and that Jolteon." She said and he made a torch like flame between his teeth.

Slowly it cut the bars, then melted the plexi glass, and the Jolteon came to the edge after

Erika called back Ryu. She slowly kneeled down and said, "Come-er....I'm not gonna hurt

you....I'm trying to save you..." She said and he walked over to her, currling up in her lap.

She called it back into a pokeball and we were on our way.
