Chapter 3 Team Rocket

Prepare for badness!
And a bit of sadness!
Our motto tells how Cyndaquil shall take aim!
Then fire out a red hot flame!
He will burn your Pokémon causing much pain!
You will try to heal it, but it will be in vain!
Jacqueline!
Jack!
Team Rocket hurt Pokémon, and they steal them too!
We don't care if you prosecute or sue!
Cyndaquil!

Squirtle disposed of Team Rocket's fiery threat quickly by blasting water at Cyndaquil.

"OH WOWS! YOU AM MUST BEING FABLED BEAM SOCKET!" Stephen exclaimed joyously, and then he promptly
fell asleep in the hole he had fallen into. Stephen was narcoleptic. Suddenly, a girl holding a male Nidoran ran up.

"You return my female Nidoran right now!" she shouted at Jack. Squirtle water gunned Jack to the ground, revealing four Pokeballs. Squirtle knew from the light reflecting off of them that Ditto, Pidgey, Rattata and Nidoran were inside them. He picked up the one with Nidoran inside and returned it to the girl.

"Oh, thank you! Now I have both my Nidorans!"
"Squirtle!" Squirtle replied. Squirtle pulled out a cell phone and dialed 911. Officer Jenny came and arrested Team Rocket. Stephen, however, was still asleep in the hole. Squirtle sighed.

"PSY-AYE-AYE!" Psyduck appeared abruptly. Just as suddenly, an angry Misty appeared with a mallet, and began to threateningly chase after Psyduck. Both disappeared, leaving a cloud of smoke behind. Squirtle, unfazed, transformed one of his numerous Dittos into an Abra, and teleported himself, his items, and Stephen to the local Pokémon Center. They ended their day there, Stephen still sleeping.

Stephen felt a kick in his side. Nurse Joy was trying to get him out of her way. He was lying in the middle of a hallway, blocking her path. Goldeen was sleeping above him on a chandelier. Suddenly, Stephen stood up and said.

"OH HELLOS NURSE OF JOY!"

"GET OUT OF MY WAY! I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET YOU OUT OF THE WAY FOR FIVE HOURS!" Nurse Joy's face started on fire because she was so angry. She used Flamethrower on Stephen, which caused him to move out of her way. This woke Squirtle up, and he walked over to the hallway to see what the noise was about. He saw Stephen running around on fire, while Nurse Joy walked calmly down the hallway.
"OH WOWS! I REALLY ON FIRE! ARE NOT THIS FUN BULBASAUR?" The hot chandelier had set Goldeen on fire too, and it hopped off. Blazing, Goldeen began flopping around on the ground.

"SURE FUN IT AM!" Goldeen agreed. The Pokedex had hopped out of Stephen's pocket before it could catch on fire. Squirtle reluctantly Hydro-Pumped them both, making Stephen was extremely mad. "BAD GOLDEEN! RUIN FUN IT AM DOING! RETURN TO POKEBALL YOU MUST BE!" Squirtle quickly switched Stephen's Pokedex with his for company, and he placed a hidden camera on Stephen. Inside his Pokeball, he used Dittos to turn it into a cozy hut like his home. He monitored Stephen's actions on a Ditto television while he conversed with the Pokedex. Stephen walked towards the gym doors of the Sir Ooleon gym. He began to push very hard on the doors that read: PULL. When the door didn't budge he assumed it was stuck.

"BULBASAUR USE A AY-TACK TO OPEN STUCK DOOR! ROTTER PUN!" Goldeen water gunned the doors, but they didn't budge. Squirtle sighed. Psyduck appeared once again.

"Psy-AYE-AYEEE!" What then happened to Psyduck and his lame joke is of no importance. Squirtle sighed also, popped out of his Pokeball, and pulled opened the door.

"OH WOWS! THANK STRONG SQUIRT-AL!" They walked in, and saw a sign that read:

Gym leader to left
Restaurant ahead
Staff Only to right

"I THUNK I IS GOING LEFT! RIGHT?"
Right, answered the Pokedex, which had also popped out of the Pokeball.

"OH! I IS GOING RIGHT?"
No! Left!
"THERE AM NOT NO GYM LEADER BADGES NO LEFT? THAT TOO BAD. OH WELL, I GO BATTLE ANYWAY!" The Pokedex groaned as Stephen walked through the staff only doors. Squirtle ran the right way. That is, the left way, which was correct. Stephen ran into the gym leader doors, and he saw a cement field with some rocks ahead. A spotlight turned on, revealing Aloof on the opposite side of the ring. Squirtle knew what he had to do.

Meanwhile, inside the Staff only storage room, Stephen had found a box that had the words 'gym badges' on it. He spent the next few hours trying to open it, because it only opened with a key. Squirtle spent the next few hours battling.

"So, you wish to challenge me, the great gym leader Aloof?" The female gym leader asked. Squirtle had on a Stephen suit and a poke-language translator, both thanks to Dittos.

"Yes," he answered.
"I am the cold gym leader. My ice Pokémon along with others shall freeze your Pokémon solid! Four Pokémon, no time limit. Shall we begin?"
"Yes."
"Cloyster, I choose you!"
"Cloy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oyster!" A Cloyster appeared in the arena.

"Pidgey, go!" Squirtle yelled. Pidgey had been training with Squirtle, and was now at very high level. However, Squirtle kept it from evolving to fool battlers.
"Cloyster, tackle it!"
"Pidgey, fly to the wall and dodge it!" Pidgey shot up into the air, up against the cement wall. Cloyster jumped up towards it, but Pidgey flew out of the way at the last minute. Cloyster hit the wall, and fell down onto the ground, taking damage.
"Cloyster, try an ice beam!" Aloof sounded a tad worried as she ordered the attack.
"Pidgey do our ice roof combo!" Pidgey flew up to the roof, and Cloyster shot an ice beam at it. Pidgey flew out of the way, and the ice beam created a hole in the ceiling. Pidgey flew up through it, and the rest of the ice beam covered
the hole with ice. Pidgey was now outside of the building, but its acute hearing allowed it to hear Squirtle, who commanded,
"Wing attack!"

"Hydro Pump!" Although Pidgey's wing attack could go through the thick ice, all attacks that Cloyster used bounced off. After
many powerful wing attacks, Cloyster's shell broke.
"Now, Pidgey!" Pidgey flew very high, then zoomed down through the strong ice, breaking the ice with its strong beak. The helpless Cloyster stared at Pidgey as it zoomed like a missile down to the Cloyster's soft innards. Pidgey's beak hit home, and Cloyster was knocked out. Aloof appeared unfazed.

"You are good, but not good enough for my Jynx! Go!" Jynx appeared in the
cement arena.

"Pidgey, come back! Rattata, go!" This Rattata had been training with Squirtle
also, and it was also at a very high level.
"Focus Energy, Rattata!" Aloof laughed at the pitiful looking Rattata using Focus Energy.
"Jynx, just use Physic! It may not be very effective, but I'm sure that we have a high level advantage!" The quick Rattata finished Focus Energy and used Hyper Fang on Jynx before she could use Psychic. Jynx flinched.

"Super fang!" commanded Squirtle. Rattata used Super Fang on Jynx, causing it to flinch again.
"Hyper Beam!" Squirtle exclaimed triumphantly, while Aloof watched helplessly. Rattata shot a deadly hyper beam at poor Jynx.

"Use quick attack, when you finish recharging!"
"Jynx, blizzard, and hurry!" Jynx stood up, and ice particles began to fill the air. The ice flew at Rattata, and he took some damage. However, it used quick attack, knocking Jynx out.
"Ditto, go!" Squirtle said after he returned Rattata.

"Delibird, go, and use present!"
"Deli, deli, bird!" Delibird handed a present to Ditto.
"Ditto, ditto!" Ditto smiled as he gratefully took the present.
"Transform into the present!" Squirtle ordered. Ditto morphed into the present, and both the present and Ditto exploded at once. Ditto reappeared, unharmed, and transformed back into its original form.
"Ice Beam!" Ordered Aloof.
"Ditto, dodge it!" Ditto quickly slid out of the way, and the ice beam hit a
rock. The rock turned to ice.

"Transform into ice!" Ditto did, and slid under Delibird's feet. Delibird slipped on the ice and fell down. It looked around for Ditto, and couldn't find it. It was confused, so it began to fire Hyper Beams everywhere. It eventually knocked itself out, as some of the hyper beams hit itself. On the other hand, one hit Ditto, and it fainted. It was a double knockout.
"Blastoise, go!" Aloof yelled.
"Bulbasaur go!" The Bulbasaur that Nurse Joy found had joined with Squirtle. Bulbasaur was at a high enough
level to evolve, but the animators wouldn't let it evolve because they thought that its evolved versions were to ugly to keep in the show.

"Blastoise, use rain dance!"

"Bulbasaur erase it with your sunny day!" It started raining, and Bulbasaur's bulb absorbed the rain, just like any normal plant would. The rain stopped, and the sun began to shine brightly.

"Solar Beam!" Bulbasaur mercilessly used Solar Beam three times in a row, knocking Gyarados out.

"Congratulations, you have won the cold badge!" Squirtle rejoiced. Aloof tossed the badge to him, and he caught it. The ground began to rumble, for it had been a few hours, and as I promised, Stephen was finished trying to open the box. Aloof's father came up from the ground. Stephen had failed in opening the box, but he had, for some strange reason, resurrected Sir Ooleon. Aloof, wanting to become a stronger trainer, went traveling with Stephen, and gave the gym back to her father. Stephen did not understand why this girl was suddenly following him, or why he had a badge, so Squirtle used a Memory transfer Machine to erase Stephen's memory of resurrecting Sir Ooleon. He replaced these memories with his gym battle. Squirtle, Aloof, Goldeen, the Pokedex, and Stephen continued their journey to become Pokémon Masters! Whatever that is.
