Chapter 4

In Which The Team Rocket Trio Meet Some Wizards, Have a Battle and Meet a King

Jessie woke up and looked around. She saw James and Meowth lying on a grassy plain. This wasn't Kanto or anywhere she knew in the Pokemon world. Then she remembered the portal that sucked them up. They could be anywhere. The place looked weird. Team Rocket had been all around the Pokemon world but this place was weird. She looked at a tree and turned to James. James was sleeping and Meowth was curled up near James' head. She turned to look at the tree she saw earlier. It wasn't there. She turned to see the tree in a different location. The tree had moved??? Jessie's head was spinning. She had encountered some weird things before but nothing like this.

"What happened to the tree?" She asked like there was someone there.

"It moved."

Now Jessie was hearing things. She looked around for a person to see. Maybe this was all a hallucination. Then she was a golden thing in the grass. Was it money? She started parting the grass until she came to it. But it wasn't money out at all. It was a golden lizard. She sighed when she picked the lizard up. At least she had something to focus on until James and Meowth woke up.

"Do you mind? I would like to put down now!!!"

"Who said that?' Jessie said.

"Me!!!!" The lizard said.

Jessie almost dropped it and it landed on a rock. She looked at this golden lizard. It could talk, she thought. I thought Meowth was the only creature that could talk human-talk. Many psychic pokemon can talk but only by the means of telepathic powers. She was still astonished. Where was she were a small lizard can speak the language of humans?

"Do you mind if you stop staring at me like that? It is quite rude." The lizard said.

"I am sorry, but I have never seen a talking lizard before. What is your name?" Jessie apologized and asked at the same to the lizard.

"My name is Suz. That is quite all right. You must be from a different part of this country though you still should know about the Enchanted Forest." Suz said to Jessie while bowing.

"The Enchanted Forest?" Jessie asked confusingly.

"This whole area is the Enchanted Forest. The whole land shifts because of magic." Suz explained to Jessie.

"Magic??? Did you say this land is magical??" Jessie asked.

Suz looked at this woman strangely. How can one not understand the concept of magic? Had her father not told of her of magic? That must be it. Her companions must have stolen her away from her awful father. Though one of them was a cat, she must have very few friends. Jessie looked back at the lizard named Suz. So they were in a magical world. She had encountered magic once in their world but it was on a low level. Then Meowth and James finally woke up. She told Suz that she needed to talk to her friends.

"James, Meowth, guess what?" Jessie asked the sleepy heads.

"We finally captured the twerp's Pikachu." James said.

"The boss finally hates Persians because they are constantly shedding too much." Meowth said.

"No, we are in a magical land called the Enchanted Forest." Jessie said excitedly.

"Yes, that is true. So I probably explain the science of magic to you." Suz said.

"Jessie, who is this talking lizard?" James said.

"James, Meowth, meet Suz. Suz, meet my companions James and Meowth. I am Jessie!!" Jessie said.

"I was wondering when you would tell me your name. So where shall we start?" Suz pondered.

"Start about what?" Meowth asked Suz.

"About the science and history of magic. Jessie doesn't know any about magic. It is a good thing you rescued her from her father." Suz said.

Then Jessie, James and Meowth started to laugh. Suz didn't know what was so funny but was patient enough to wait out this fit of laughter. Suz thought he heard a rustle of leaves coming from somewhere but he was mistaken. He turned toward the trio. He didn't understand what was so funny. Meanwhile, a group of wizards were watching Jessie, James, Meowth and Suz. They had the staffs with them. The leader grinned and had his group advance towards the residents of the Enchanted Forest.

"Sorry, Suz. It is just ... "Jessie started to explain but then she saw three men dressed in blue robes.

"Hello, madam. Sorry to interrupt your conversation but we are going to take your companions, that golden lizard and you captive."

She saw a fourth blue-robed man approach but this one had a little more style. She knew she wasn't in the pokemon world anymore but she wasn't going to get captured by some blue-robed freaks. She nodded towards Jessie and James. Meowth got out a secret weapon planned for Pikachu but was perfect for this situation. Suz looked at Jessie. He should have told her about wizards first and most. She was going up against a powerful enemy.

"Any last words?" The wizard leader said to Jessie, James and Meowth plus Suz.

"Yes, but I think you should prepare for trouble."

"We'll put up a fight, so make that double."

"To protect all worlds from devastation."

"To unite all people and creatures with in every universal nation."

"To denounce all evils and bring forth all love."

"To extend our powerful wrath to the stars above."

"Jessie!!"

"James!!!"

"We might be Team Rocket, but we shall send all opponents blasting off at the speed of light!!!!"

"Watch your back or you might be prepared to fight!!!!"

"Wobbuffet!!!"

"Hey, stop stealing my lines!!! Meowth, that's right!!!"

Suz was shocked and baffled at the same time. Team Rocket? Was this a new organization that the King of the Enchanted Forest started? Were they to oppose the wizards? They didn't look like they could defeat any wizard, but something about them convinced Suz that they were powerful.

"So you call yourself Team Rocket huh? Sounds pretty pathetic!!" One of the wizards mocked.

Jessie started to get angry. No one mocks the name Team Rocket. If Giovanni heard it himself, he would send the whole Rocket Army against this blue-robed freak. She pulled out her pokeball containing Arbok. Arbok might not be a strong pokemon but it was one of the two strongest pokemon she had. She nodded to James and Meowth. She stared the blue-robed freak right in the face.

"Sir, you have insulted the name of Team Rocket and you shall pay. What is your name?" Jessie growled angrily.

"I don't think that is any of my business." The Wizard said.

"Well, it is part of my business to take on any insult to the Team Rocket name. So spill it ... freak!!!" Jessie shouted.

Freak? Did she call him a freak? He had been called many things in his lifetime but never a freak. Plus she was very angry. If she were a fire-witch, her hair would be on fire. But since it wasn't, they didn't have to worry. He turned to his associates and then his head boss. The boss patted him on the head and told him to back off. He would deal with the fiery-tempered girl.

"Madam, my name is Antorell and I am the Head Wizard of the Society of Wizards. I think you apologize to my colleague. It is rude to call someone a freak even if he does possess powers you will never have!!!" Antorell said proudly.

"Oh, really let's see if your friend and you are really powerful. Let's see if our creatures can go against any of your creatures."

"I normally don't waste Nightshades on pathetic creatures but you have a deal." Antorell smirked.

Antorell stood quietly for a while and he didn't say anything. Suz was wondering how this Team Rocket was going to beat Antorell. Sure, Antorell wasn't the greatest wizard in the world but he was probably more powerful than this Team Rocket. Suz wondered why the King of the Enchanted Forest didn't prepare Team Rocket for battle with the Society of Wizards. Suddenly, the nightshade appeared. It was a dark and scary monster. Its claws were as sharp as nails. It looked at Jessie, James and Meowth. It looked at Antorell. Antorell gave it orders to attack.

"Not so fast. Now it is our turn. Arbok, Nidoqueen, I choose you. Wobbuffet, prepare for anything." Jessie shouted.

"Let's see you try this one for size. Weezing, Victreebel, Nidoking, I choose you!!" James shouted.

"I might not be the strongest pokemon in the world but I can do some damage." Meowth shouted.

Arbok appeared from Jessie's pokemon. Its snake glare was giving Suz the willies. Nidoqueen appeared and roared so loud that even dragons could hear it. Suz noticed this large creature and then Suz noticed Wobbuffet. Its eyes were closed but yet it knew what it was doing. Then Suz saw James' pokemon. Weezing might be a beachball but it did look dangerous. Then there was Nidoking. It was just as scary as Nidoqueen. Then she saw Victreebel. Now Suz had to laugh. Victreebel was sucking on James' head.

"Victreebel, don't attack me. Attack the dark and foreboding creature!! Attack the dark and foreboding creature!!!" James shouted.

The wizards laughed. This James couldn't even control this Victreebel. Antorell would take care of the Victreebel creature but he would focus on Jessie's Wobbuffet. He ordered the Nightshade to attack the Wobbuffet. It rushed right at the blue creature. Not even Cimerone or Morwen could stop this attack. Antorell was about to celebrate his victory until Jessie spoke one word. So it is one word, he thought, big deal. That non-defense attitude soon changed when his Nightshade came flying at him.

"What happened?" Antorell asked.

"My Wobbuffet deflected your dark creature's physical attack with counter." Jessie explained to Antorell.

Suz was impressed by Jessie's monster handling skills but Suz could see that Antorell wasn't happy. Antorell ordered the Nightshade to attack them all. James ordered Victreebel with a vine whip. Victreebel threw out some vines to knock it off balance. It worked for a while but the Nightshade was up to attack. Both Jessie and James looked each other. They both recalled Arbok, Weezing, Victreebel and Wobbuffet. Meowth knew what was going to happen now. Only Nidoqueen and Nidoking were left. Suz didn't know how Team Rocket was going to defend itself. Antorell laughed because he knew this battle was in the bag.

"Nidoking, Nidoqueen, attack with Shadow Ball!!!" Jessie and James shouted.

Both Nidoking and Nidoqueen fired off an intense amount of energy at the Nightshade. Suz was impressed by the energy that both the Nidoqueen and Nidoking emitted. Antorell and his fellow group of wizard were not. This Shadow Ball can be easily absorbed, he thought. Just then both Shadow Ball attacks hit the Nightshade dead on. They hit together with a big enough explosion that caused the area to start to shake.

"Suz, grab my paw. We have to get out of here." Meowth said.

"Agreed!!" Suz said.

Jessie recalled Nidoqueen and James recalled Nidoqueen. Meowth gripped on Suz. They all ran away from the explosion. They ran so fast that they reached a castle. Jessie wanted to admire it but she turned around. A mushroom shaped cloud filled the area. What she saw was a big hole in the enchanted forest. Suddenly, something flew towards them and hit the ground. It was Antorell and his fellow wizards with their burnt staffs.

"I knew Shadow Ball was powerful but nothing like that." James said.

"Well, we did train both of them to reach higher levels. I guess the stronger pokemon become, the more powerful their attacks are." Jessie said.

Suz and Meowth had to agree on this even though Suz didn't know what Jessie meant by Pokemon. Meowth was impressed that Jessie and James were able to train their pokemon to high levels. Now if only James could get Victreebel to stop attacking or eating him, everything would turn out right, Meowth thought. Suddenly, the doors of the castle burst open. Jessie turned around and there was a king. His crown glistened in the sunlight.

"What is going on?" the king asked.

"Sire, these loyal group called Team Rocket, that you assigned to attack the Society of Wizards, did well despite that they seemed uneducated." Suz said to king while bowing.

"Suz, will you quit calling me sir? Call me Mendanbar. And what about this Team Rocket group?" The king said.

So his name is Mendanbar, Jessie thought. That was a pretty uncommon name for a king. She was going to ask her if she could be queen and rule this land together but he probably already had a queen. This Mendanbar person kept on looking at the forest. He saw the smoke and saw outlines of a debris field. Suz looked at his king and started to ask Mendanbar a question.

"So you didn't organize this Team Rocket group? So who are they?" Suz asked.

"We are part of a grand crime organization. Back in our world, a fellow Rocket against used some device against us." Jessie explained but she allowed James to continue with the story.

"Yes, but thanks to the twerps, we were saved ... but that device turned against us anyways and we were sent here." James explained.

"So that explains why Jessie has no knowledge of magic." Suz replied.

"Yes, that is true. Now you are probably wondering why we battled these wizards." Meowth said as he pointed to the blackened wizard with charcoaled staffs.

"Yes, I would like to know why you went up against some of the powerful members of the Society of Wizards." Mendanbar asked.

"Well, they made fun of the Team Rocket name. Team Rocket has gone on for generations to come. So we couldn't let them disrespect the Team Rocket name ... and sorry about the explosion. How did you know about it? You seemed to rush out right after it happened." Jessie said.

"Well, I am the King of the Enchanted Forest. I know everything that goes around here. When I felt a disturbance in the forest, I knew something was wrong. By the way, what caused that big gap in the forest? Don't worry, I can fix it." Mendanbar asked.

"That was a combination of two Shadow Ball attacks. Shadow Ball is a ghost type attack but it can be very powerful. If the pokemon is raised properly and to very high levels, the shadow ball can cause a massive explosion." James explained.

"Well, that is fascinating. Maybe you are the tools to stop this Society of Wizards invasion. Well, we had better hide their staffs." Mendanbar said.

Jessie, James and Meowth all gave Mendanbar a very confused look. Suz went to Meowth and explained everything to him. Then Meowth repeated the information from Suz to his fellow companions. According to Suz, wizard staffs were essential to their conquest. They sucked up magic and stored very powerful magic in case of emergencies. You could never destroy a wizard staff unless you were a fire wizard. Meowth was confused about fire wizards but he understood the whole wizard-staff situation. Meowth noticed Mendanbar picking up the staff. Suddenly, it turned into ash. Everyone was shocked.

"What just happened?" Mendanbar asked.

"Somehow the power of their pokemon did this to the wizard's staffs but how? Can pokemon really be that powerful?" Suz asked Mendanbar.

Both Suz and Mendanbar turned to Jessie. They asked her to explain the concepts of pokemon. She kind of looked worried but Meowth and James backed her up with information. The trio explained the many different types of pokemon. They explained the ideals of legendary pokemon. They explained how the weakness and strengths of a pokemon. For example, a pokemon like Pikachu is an electric type. It is strong against Flying-type pokemon and Water-type pokemon, but it is weak against Ground-type pokemon and Grass-type pokemon.

"I think I understand now. I think you should stop by Morwen and then with Morwen, you should go see Kazul. She would want to meet you." Mendanbar said.

Before Jessie, James and Meowth said anything, Mendanbar pulled at the air. Suddenly it was like the land was moving. Suddenly, they arrived at a cottage with a sign that said warned people of trespassing. Mendanbar and Suz stood there and said goodbye. Then he pulled at the air again and both Mendanbar and Suz disappeared. Neither Meowth nor James could figure this out. Jessie assumed that it was a type of magic but who was this Morwen lady? And who was this Kazul person? They would soon find out as soon as they headed to the cottage. They were up against many unknowns but they would have to face them.
