The Young Master's Quest Ch. 8: Prepare for trouble! Yay!
"Prepare for trouble! We're in the fic at last!" Yelled a female voice.
"Make it double! We'll steal your pokémon real fast!" Yelled a male voice.
"That was really weak." A third voice said.
"Shut up & let us continue with the motto!" The male voice yelled back.
"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!" A woman with red hair appeared.
"James!" A man with blue hair appeared right beside Jessie.
"Team Rocket! Blast off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Wobba—" Their wobbuffet started.
"Get outta here! Meowth! That's right!" The duo's meowth yelled.
"Bravo! Bravo!" Izzy said, clapping. The rest of the group sweatdropped.
"You liked the motto?" Jessie asked.
"You actually liked that piece of dribble?" Ash butted in.
"Of course! How can anyone resist a motto like that?" Izzy replied.
"Boy. And I thought Jessie was nuts." Meowth said.
"WHAT WAS THAT!?" Jessie yelled & hit Meowth with her fan.
"I also like the uniforms." Izzy said.
"Wow James! It's nice to know that SOMEBODY has a fashion sense around here." Jessie said while leering at Ash, Misty, and Brock.
"I think it's cute how you have that animatronic meowth in your motto." Izzy added.
"Um… He's real." James said.
"Come now. I know that pokémon can't talk." Izzy said.
"It's true. I'm a walkin', talkin' meowth." Meowth said.
"What!? He really does talk!" Izzy said, surprised that a meowth can really talk.
"So, I guess you're here to try to steal our pokémon, huh?" Ash asked, trying to get back to business.
"Yeah. That's our job because… We're the famous Team Rocket!" Jessie & James said while striking a pose.
"Don't ya mean infamous?" Meowth said.
"No! We're famous!" Jessie snapped. Izzy sweatdropped.
"Ok. But before we begin, let me ask one thing." He said and he ran toward Team Rocket. Unfortunately, this caused the headphones' cable on Izzy's poké gear to detach itself & the horrid music was heard by everybody.
"Oh no! Not again!" Brock groaned as the music invaded everybody's eardrums. Everybody except for Misty & Jessie fell to the ground, holding their ears. The two ladies were dancing to the music.
"Ooooohhhhh! I love this song!" Jessie said.
"I know! It's my favorite!" Misty replied.
"Make it stop! Make it stop!" James yelled.
"My ears are gonna explode!" Meowth yelled. Izzy was barely able to open his eyes, but they glowed with happiness as he saw the time change from 1:59PM to 2:00PM.
"Thank you for tuning in to Boy Band Hour!" The announcer said. "Tune in next time!"
"Not on your life." Izzy said as he turned off the radio. Once again, the serene sound of pidgeys chirping took over.
"I thought it would never end." Ash said.
"Me too. That was like torture." Brock added.
"That's the last time I turn on the radio at one o'clock when I'm with a girl." Izzy said. He had a dazed expression.
"Quit your bellyaching!" Misty yelled. "That was the best hour of my life. Thanks for lending me the headphones." She gave the headphones back to Izzy.
"No problem." Izzy said, still dazed.
"Well, that was a fun little distraction." Jessie said.
"You wish." James said.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that." Jessie said. "Now then, back to business. All right! We want that pikachu!"
"Never!" Ash yelled.
"So tell me, how did ya learn how to talk?" Izzy asked Meowth as yet another battle between the ultra-cool Team Rocket & Team Twerp began.
"Well, here's how it happened." Meowth started & he told Izzy a story about love, heartbreak, betrayal, and lots of cats.
"So that's it, huh?" Izzy asked. "You fell in love with Meowsy and in order to get her attention, you learned how to walk and talk?"
(A/N: Is that the right way to spell that female meowth's name?)
"Yeah. And she took my heart & stepped on it!" Meowth cried.
"I know how you feel." Izzy said & he put his hand on Meowth's head. "Even though our paths are different, we have the same goals. I say we look for love in all places—even the wrong ones! We deserve to love whoever we want. It's our right!"
"Amen, brother!" Brock said, clapping. Izzy looked & noticed that Brock, Ash, and Misty were… TIED UP!?
"GWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Jessie cackled. Somehow, Team Rocket managed to beat Ash & co. They were tied up with Togepi (who "magically" got back on the set).
"I hope you enjoyed your snack, ya porker!" Misty hissed.
"Toge?" Togepi asked innocently. Team Rocket had Pikachu in a glass ball.
"We finally have Pikachu at long last!" Jessie said with excitement.
"Where have I heard that one before?" Meowth mocked.
"Shut up!" Jessie yelled as she whacked Meowth with her paper fan again.
"I don't know Jess. Doesn't it feel like we're forgetting something?" James asked, puzzled.
"What can we possibly be forgetting?" Jessie asked.
"Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Izzy yelled & ran past Team Rocket, grabbing Pikachu in the process.
"Well, that for instance." James said.
"Ugh!" Jessie groaned. "I knew it would be too good to last."
"It's always too good to last." Meowth piped in. Izzy made a beeline to where Ash, Brock, and Misty were.
"Here you go." He said as he released Pikachu from its prison.
"Pikachu! You're back!" Ash said excitedly.
"Pika pi!" Pikachu answered & gave Ash a hug.
"Now I have to deal with them." Izzy said.
"Hey! He stole the pikachu that we stole from the twerp!" James said.
"Ain't there a rule against dat?" Meowth asked.
"Who cares? Arbok! Go!" Jessie said as she threw her poké ball.
"Victreebel! Go!" James said as he tossed his poké ball. Arbok came out & nuzzled its trainer and, as always, Victreebel tried to eat its trainer.
"Victreebel! Let go of me!" James yelled. His screams were muffled by Victreebel's body. Izzy tried to hold back his laughter, but managed to speak.
"Two pokémon, huh?" He started. "Well, it's unfair, but I'll use just one of my pokémon."
"So what? We can be unfair if we want to. We're the bad guys, remember?" Jessie replied.
"No. You've misunderstood me. I meant that it would unfair of me to use just one of my pokémon against you." Izzy explained.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Team Rocket laughed.
"We'll crush ya!" Meowth said.
"So, before we beat you, what pokémon are you going to use against us?" James asked.
"I don't wanna tell his species, but his name is Dragon King." Izzy answered with pride.
"Oooooooooohhh! Dragon King! That sounds real tough!" Jessie teased.
"Oh yeah? Well, let's see just how strong you are!" Izzy called out & he pulled out his pokédex. It looked like Ash's, except it was solid gold.
"Look you guys. Izzy's got a pokédex like me." Ash said. Izzy pointed his pokédex at Arbok.
"Arbok. The snake pokémon." The electronic voice said as a picture of Arbok was displayed.
"Skip it. Show me its stats." Izzy said.
"Displaying stats…" The voice said.
The stats were displayed as follows:
Arbok
Lv. 25
Attack: 50
Defense: 45
Spec. Attack: 20
Spec. Def.: 20
Speed: 65
"Hmmmmm… Let's take a look at Victreebel." Izzy said as he pointed the pokédex at the grass type.
"Victreebel. The flytrap pokémon." The voice said as Victreebel's picture was displayed.
"Stats." Izzy said, growing impatient.
"Displaying stats…" It said.
Victreebel's stats were:
Victreebel
LV. 20
Attack: 41
Defense: 45
Spec. Attack: 52
Spec. Def.: 52
Speed: 46
"Just as I thought! Your pokémon are wimps compared to my Dragon King!" Izzy yelled.
"Fine! Lets just see your precious Dragon King!" Jessie snarled.
"Very well then." Izzy said.
'You fools shall respect the power of my pokémon.' He thought as he grabbed a silver master ball from his belt. He held it in front of himself, looking at Team Rocket with a look of determination & fury.
"That poké ball. It's silver." Brock said.
"Yeah. I know. I wonder what this 'Dragon King' is." Misty said.
"Let's see." Ash said.
"It's time! Dragon King! Go!" Izzy called out as he threw his master ball. It opened & after a brief flash of light, his Dragonite appeared.
"It's a dragonite!!!" Everyone but Izzy yelled.
"Oh look James, a dragonite! I bet the boss would love that!" Jessie said with glee.
"Forget Pikachu! Let's swipe the dragonite!" Meowth yelled.
"What!? Dragon King! Hyper Beam! Now!" Izzy ordered. Dragon King opened his mouth & started to charge energy. After a few seconds, he fired the beam. It hit Arbok, then Victreebel, and finally, Team Rocket, which sent them flying.
"We'll be back for that Dragonite!" Jessie yelled.
"Well, it looks like," James started.
"Team Rocket's blasting off again!" They all finished.
"Wobba! Wobba!" Wobbuffet added in as they became a star. Izzy's face changed from being angry to being sad.
"Good bye Team Rocket! Til we meet again!" He cried as he waved at the star. "They were nice. They may have tried to steal my Dragon King, but they were fun guys." Everyone else raised an eyebrow & sweatdropped.
"::Sniff:: Good job, Dragon King! Return!" Izzy said and Dragon King went back to his master ball.
"Uh… Izzy?" Ash, Brock, and Misty said.
"Yes?" Izzy replied.
"Two things. One, you're weird for liking Team Rocket. And two, could ya get us out of these ropes!?" Misty said. Izzy turned around & saw that the gang was STILL tied up. He sweatdropped.
"Oops. Sorry. I forgot about you, my friends." He said as he grabbed a gold master ball. "Now stay still or you may get clawed."
"Uh… ok." Ash said.
"Go! Sadie!" Izzy said as he tossed the master ball. After the flash, Sadie appeared.
"It's a meowth!" Ash said, surprised.
"What were ya expecting, a growlithe!?" Izzy asked, slightly insulted.
"Sorry. It's just that…you got a meowth! I'm so jealous!" Ash replied, ignoring the sneers of the other two trainers.
"Err… anyway… Guys meet Sadie, my best friend." Izzy said. "Now hold still. Sadie! Slash those ropes!"
"Meow!" Sadie cried cheerfully as she used her slash attack on the ropes.
