The group of heroes and villains lay scattered on the ground. Both human and pokemon alike had been knocked out cold by the collision. Marina was the first to get up. Her head throbbed from the "incident" that happened earlier. She looked around the room. Her latias landed on top of Johaku's jirachi. Shay was crushing Evie and Evie was crushing Amanda. They looked funny in a pile like that. Then she looked in the other direction. Seeing what she saw she immediately woke up the others. "Hey what gives?" Evie groaned. Marina gave her a shove and pointed to the four strangers.
On the other side of the room a young girl and two older men laid unconscious. Next to them was an umbreon. It had many bruises all over its back and legs. "Who are these people?" Johaku asked. Shay picked up her pichu and grinned at the others, "There is only one way to find out." And with that she commanded pichu to give the unknown people a thundershock. Immediately, they woke up with a scream of pain.
"Gahhhh!!!!," Casey screamed, "What the hell was that?" She looked at her pokemon and her partners. "Guys? What happened?" The umbreon just shivered and put its head down low. As if it had seen a ghost. "Well," Jenkins said, "We were running from rayquaza when we hit something and fell."
Johaku was just as confused as they were. Who were these people? "Listen I don't mean to interrupt, but who are you?" Casey and the others were first surprised by the voice of Johaku but when they turned around, they started to ask the questions. "The question should be 'WHO ARE YOU'" Bellowed Don.
"Relax, we are just as confused as you three are!" Marina butted it, "Now we won't tell you a thing if you don't answer first!"
"Ok ok take it easy there!" Casey said in a hostile tone. "My name is Casey." She gave a sly grin. "You MIGHT have heard of me." Marina and the others looked her overhead to toe. She did look familiar. "I know you! You are that girl on TV!" Shay said loudly, "You are pretty good!" Casey looked at Shay and continued to brag, "Yup I am. One of the best." Evie sighed, "Yeah well why are you here with those two bums then? And that uniform looks awfully familiar."
Casey froze for a moment but then recollected her thoughts. It won't make a difference if I tell them. Who would believe a bunch of kids anyway? And if word did get out I could easily do away with them. She thought. Ok I'll tell.
And with that she started to explain all about her mission. Everyone around her looked dumbstruck. Don and Jenkins knew that the mission would turn into dust. All the wok preparing would be for nothing. However, with allies, they could survive if they caught up with rayquaza again.
"So what you are saying," Kayl asked, "is that you are a member of Team Rocket?" Don butted in "Yup afraid so kiddies. Your little friend here is a bad guy now." In the background Jenkins was muttering to himself. Why did all this work go down the drain? Now what would happen? Finally, he got an idea.
"Well you guys," Jenkins started to say, "We are all stuck here." Then thunder clapped outside. The wind started to pick up, they could all sense it. "Since a storm is outside we have no transportation back to safety. I think we can all get what we want here. But we have to work together."
Amanda grunted, "You expect us to work with a bunch of criminals? You have got to be kidding." Jenkins just spoke softly to the group, "No I am not kidding. We want rayquaza DNA and you guys want to catch a rare pokemon right?" They all nodded. But they could not help think, what is this little man proposing? "If we lead you to rayquaza you can weaken him with your own pokemon. While he is weak we can sneak up on him and grab some skin samples. Then, you are free to catch him."
Everyone gasped. This was a risky plan. First of all, the groups did not trust each other; second, it was incredibly dangerous. But if was going to pay off, it would pay off well. "This is risky, but I think this is the smartest thing to do," Marina said, "I will go along with it." Kayl spoke up, "Yeah me too." And Kayl's remark as followed by an assembly of agreements. "Ok then, "Casey said, "Lets find that overgrown caterpie!" And with that everyone got excited and felt safer. Everyone that is except for Johaku, the one person who did not have much to say at all, "Sure I agree with you...... You dirty rotten rockets"
