CHAPTER 12: The pawns of Madam Boss

As days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months Giovanni was finnaly on his way to Cinnabar island on a boat. "Just two more badges" said Giovanni. "We have now arrived at Cinnabar Island"! announced the captain over a megaphone. Giovanni rushed off the ship and to the Pokemon Gym. Miyamoto ran after him frantically telling him to wait up. "You're sure in a hurry to get here" said a voice. An asian man about the age of 15 walked out of the gym. "My name is Alex and I'm the Cinnabar gym leader" he said. "My specialty is fire pokemon". "He's so HOT!" squeled Miyamoto. "Yes and so are my fire pokemon" said Alex. "Come on in so we can start our battle".

Nearby the gym two people with black uniforms on that had a red "R" on them were watching. "Is that the boy Giovanni, that Madam Boss was talking about?" asked the guy of the duo. "Yes" said the girl. "I can tell by the eyes". (Note: They are not idiots like Jessie and James). "Well…should we…"asked the guy. "Not yet" she said. "Let us wait 'till the time is right". "In the meantime let us call Madam Boss to tell her we have located her…son".

Meanwhile in the gym. "Yes that's another win for me"! declared Giovanni. Nidoking roared agreeing with him. "Here's your Volcano badge" said Alex handing him the badge that looked like a flame. Giovanni and Miyamoto left the gym.

"There he is with his little friend, maybe we could nominate her to be a Team Rocket member" said the guy. "Yes, I'll take that into consideration but Giovanni does not have a choice" said the girl grinning. "Now is the time…" "Go Butterfree!" she said sending out a butterfly pokemon. "Use sleep powder on those two". Butterfree flew over to Giovanni and Miyamoto. "Oh wow it's a Butterfree" said Miyamoto. The Butterfree instantly used the attack it was ordered to do. A bluish powder sprinkled over Giovanni and Miyamoto and they fell to the ground and fell asleep. The guy took out a net and carried Miyamoto and Giovanni and dropped them into it. "Ok Hirokazu let's bring them to the Team Rocket helicopter" said the girl. "Right away Sheila" said Hirokazu.
