Team Anti-Rocket

Chapter 2

Disclaimer: If I owned the Pokémon characters, this would be a movie, not a fanfic. So, although I wish they were mine, they aren't and I don't claim them to be.  I made up the names of James parents and Jessy's dad, and I made up the last and middle names of the characters, so don't use them without my permission.  Make up your own names. Jade Rocket is a character all of my own, so the name and person of her is mine, my own, my precious.  Use it and DIE for plagiarism.

So there ::sticks tongue out::

Summary: This fanfic came to me in a dream. I actually did dream it. I had to change it around, though, because the dream got weird. But, hey, that's okay. It should still be good anyway. When Jessy and James meet someone Giovanni sent to them to try and "shape them up", they finally capture Pikachu! But who know how long that will last? Only time, and this fanfic =, will tell!

Reviews would be loved, swooned over, and all around appreciated.  But, don't expect a response from me unless you send it to my email address, that being LadyEowyn7aol.com

N. E. Wayz, thank you for taking some of your valuable to read this fanfic. And, now without further ado, I give you

Team Anti Rocket (echo: Rocket, Rocket, Rocket, Rocket)

Read on, TR Fans!!!!

                As Jessy, James, Jade, and Meowth stared silently at the three in front of them, a hand, which turned out to be Misty's, reached in and turned the lights of the cabin on.  Ash and friends were looking evilly at their captured prey, and had evil grins on their faces.  After a few moments of silence,  Misty's expression began to change, and a weird, stifled noise began to come from her mouth.  All at once, she burst in to laughter and fell on her knees.   At that, Ash and Brock began to laugh as well, while the Team Rocket members gaped bewilderedly at the three friends.

                "What in da world is so funny?" Meowth burst out impatiently after a confused silence.  The Rockets stared at him as if he had done a forbidden deed.

                "Your faces," Ash told them, between gasping for breath.  "You should see yourselves! You look like you've seen ghosts!"

                "And why shouldn't we look frightened?"  Jessy asked angrily, but giggling slightly.

                "Yeah. After all, obviously our jig is up and you going to send us up the river," James said, speaking Jessy's next thoughts.

                "Up t-the r-r-river?" Misty asked, staggering to stand up and stop laughing.  "N-no, we aren't going to get you in t-trouble.  W-we just want to talk to y-you." Taking a deep breath, she added, "Can we come in?"

                Jessy and James looked at each other.  "I suppose…" And with that Ash, Misty, and Brock, still giggling, piled into the room and sat on the beds.  James noticed that Jade was silent, watching Pikachu as if they were communicating psychically.  She and Pikachu too came and sat next to on the bed next to Brock, and the mouse Pokémon sat on her lap. 

                "Now, you little twerps," Jessy began.  "What's this all about?  Explain, because I am thoroughly confused."

                Brock stood up and tried to look serious.  "Well, we were just coming over here to tell the 'nice old couple' that Pikachu had come back, so they wouldn't worry, when we heard her" motioning to Jade "talking to herself.  We felt bad for her, and were glad to hear that some Rockets actually have consciences.  When I heard about her idea to quit Team Rocket, and James say that you would be assassinated if you did so, I felt bad that you had that choice.  Then, I had an idea.  Suppose we could work together to disband Team Rocket, then you guys could retire and be whatever you wanted, and plus the whole thing about the world's Pokémon being safe.  When I told these two" pointing to Ash and Misty "they thought it was a good idea, but decided that you guys deserved a scare for stealing Pikachu.

                "Yeah, and we thought up the Motto on the spot," Ash put in.  "Isn't it great?"

                "Just beautiful," Jessy replied.  "Now, what makes you think we would help you?"

                "No, wait, Jessy," said James.  "This might be a good thing.  You would really help us get rid of Team Rocket?"

                "Of course," said Brock.  "We also hate them with a vengeance, as do the rest of the world.  I for one would be glad to get rid of them and their Pokémon exploiting forever."

                "You know what?" Jade spoke up.  Everyone stared at her, realizing that she had been silent.  "This will be great.  Finally, we won't have to take orders from Giovanni, or hide from the police.  And also," she added, looking at the yellow Pokémon on her lap, "we wouldn't have to try and steal Pikachu anymore, and we could be friends with him, and with you guys."  She gestured towards Ash and his friends, but no one noticed how long she stared at Brock, or how lovingly, as they began to make plans.

                Four hours of planning, scheming, and arguing later, it was five o'clock in the morning, and there was still no plan that could be agreed on.  They decided to sleep on it and come up with something in the morning.  After everyone else fought over the beds, Jade and Brock were the only ones who did not have one, and there was only one left.

                "You take it," they said at the same time, blushing afterwards. 

                "Well," Jade began.  "We could share it?"  Brock, eyeing her strangely, agreed.  And Ash and Misty, Jessy and James, Meowth and Pikachu, and Jade and Brock fell asleep in their beds, not to wake up until noon that day.

------------}---------------}--------------------}---------------------------------------------

            Jade woke up first, and then Brock, and the two prepared breakfast for the others and themselves.  After sharing the meal, the group felt refreshed.

                "Well," Brock began.  "I suppose our first action should be to go the Team Rocket Headquarters and formulate an ingenious plan to overthrow the boss and end Team Rocket for all eternity."  The others in the room stared at him expectantly.  "What?"

                "So what's your plan Brock?"  Misty asked.  Brock must have a plan.  Brock always had a plan.

                "Why do I have to come up with something?" he asked.

                "Duh," Ash replied.  "You're the smart one here."

                "Oh, yeah," Brock said, putting his arm over his head and sweatdropping.  "Well, I guess it's up to me to save the day.  So you guys have to go somewhere else for a while and let me think.  Why don't you go outside or something?"

                "'Kay," the group agreed.  And with that, the cabin was empty except for Brock, who sat in the same position, pondering.

                Once outside, Ash, Misty, Jessy, James, Jade, Pikachu, and Meowth sat in a circle on the ground.  At first, there was an uncomfortable silence.  Then, James spoke the words his original companions had been thinking, but were to proud to say.

                "Guys," he said, looking towards Ash, Misty, and especially at Pikachu, "we're terribly sorry for all the grief we've caused you in the past.  Trying to steal Pikachu and what ever other Pokémon came our way and stuff.  You know…"

                "Say no more, James," Misty stopped him.  "I don't know about Ash, but I've realized that you guys didn't really have much choice.  I'll never know why you guys chose US to follow and torment, but in the end, when all is said and done and the Team Rocket evil is gone forever, I think it will turn out to be fate."

                "Wow, Misty," Ash began.  "I never realized you could be so deep."

                Misty blushed.  "Well, he he, neither did I…"

                "But yeah, you guys," he continued.  "I forgive you too."

                "Pika!" the mouse Pokémon on Ash's lap agreed.  Jessy apologized personally to the three as well, and then Meowth.  The cat Pokémon became fast friends with Pikachu, and soon they were off in a game of tag.  The humans began talking merrily as if they were best friends.  All except Jade, who gazed off into space thoughtfully.  At length, the others inquired about this silence.  She shrugged her shoulders and muttered something about being tired.

                After glancing at each other for a while, James asked, "So, what's your story, Jade?"

                "Yeah," Jessy said.  "You seem to know more about us than we do about ourselves, but all we know about you is that you're an intelligent and soft-hearted Team Rocket member."

                "Well, my story is long and rather sad…" Jade trailed off.

                "Just the kind of story I like to hear," Misty said.  "Please tell us."

                Jade sighed.  "Okay, but stop me if you get bored, promise?"

                "We promise," the others all agreed.  Even Pikachu and Meowth, who had gotten bored of tag and rejoined the group, voiced their agreement.  Preparing for a long tale, Pikachu sat in Jessy's lap while Meowth headed for Misty.

                Jade sighed again.  "Well, here goes nothing."  And so she began her story, unaware that another pair of ears had joined the group from the cabin to listen.
