The Magical Girl Pretty Misty
Chapter 4:
Special Event: Minako's Rescue
Back at the Pokemon Center, Brock, Misty, and Pikachu were just returning and saw Nurse Joy on the phone. She asked the person on the other end to hold on for a minute and walked over to the group. "Oh thank goodness, there you are," Nurse Joy said sounding relieved.
"What happened Nurse Joy?" Brock asked.
"Earlier tonight your friend Ash came back to pick up his Pokemon and told me that the girl he was with was kidnapped," Nurse Joy said clearly upset. "He told me it was Team Rocket and I let it slip that they had a base at the Goldenrod Radio Tower. He raced out of here to save her by himself. If he finds it, he's in a lot of trouble. That has to be one of their biggest bases."
"Don't worry. Ash can take care of himself," Brock said. "I'm sure he hasn't done anything dumb like barging in and letting everyone know he's there."
"We're talking about Ash right," Misty replied looking at Brock. "I'm sure that he's going to get into some kind of trouble. It's not like he thinks things through all that much."
"Then what are we doing standing around here?" Pikachu shouted. "We have to help him." Pikachu rushed toward the door. "Just don't get into trouble, Ash. I'm coming. Minako, please hang on."
"Pikachu, wait! We don't even have a plan yet," Misty shouted but it was too late. The little yellow rodent was already through the door. Misty sighed and shook her head. "Its looks like what they say is true. The Pokemon is just like the trainer. We better go with him, Brock." Misty ran after Pikachu shouting, "Pikachu wait up."
"I'd better go with them," Brock said as he looked at Nurse Joy. To her surprise, he took her hands in his. "Don't worry. We'll be fine. This isn't the first time we've been in a mess like this. See you later." Brock dropped her hands and ran after his two friends.
"Be careful," Nurse Joy shouted as she watched them disappear into the darkness.

Back at Team Rocket Headquarters under the Goldenrod Radio Tower, Jessie, James and Meowth have all gotten a power-up from Minako. Minako was asleep because of all the power she lost during the procedure. All the fight she had left was gone. James smiled down at her. She was even more beautiful sleeping. In his mind, he was thinking about how impressed she would be with his new power. She would definitely go out with him now.
"Hey, do you feel different James?" Jessie asked.
"Yeah kind of," James replied flexing his arm. "I feel stronger, more confident." He smiled maniacally. "I can't wait to find those twerps. Now that we've became Super Team Rocket, we'll be able to capture Pikachu one two three. Hahahahahahahahahaha. We'll be unstoppable."
"Okay," Jessie said giving him a strange look.
......................
Meanwhile Ash and the new girl were still battling Dark Pikachu. The new girl was knocked back again by the Dark Pikachu hitting the wall.
"Stop it," Ash shouted. "Leave her alone." The Dark Pikachu walked over and picked her up by her neck. "Put her down now," Ash demanded.
"Pika chu (Make me)," Dark Pikachu replied smiling.
"Man, I can't send my Pokemon against that thing," Ash thought. "If they got hurt I couldn't forgive myself." Ash ran in for one more charge. Dark Pikachu drop the black- haired girl as sparks formed in his cheeks. Before Ash could stop himself, Dark Pikachu sent out an electric charge and shocking Ash and causing him to fall to the ground. Ash slowly got up again breathing hard. "It's a good thing I'm use to Pikachu's shocks," he thought. "Otherwise, I would have been a goner."
"Pika chu pik (Just stay down boy)," Dark Pikachu shouted.
Ash wasn't sure what Dark Pikachu was saying, but he wasn't ready to give in. "I can't give up," he said. "There's someone I made a promise to who's in trouble and I can't give up until I rescue her. I won't break my promise."
"Well then let's see that you keep that promise." It was the black-haired girl. She had pulled out a magic wand like Pretty Misty's. "I, Pretty Melissa, will stop you here and now. Blue Star Attack." Her wand changed into the shape of a star and it hit the Dark Pikachu. The evil Pokemon went flying into the wall where it passed out. Melissa turned to Ash. "Let's get going and help your friend. Okay?"
Ash smiled and nodded. "Right. Let's get going."
The pair started running down the hallway.
....................................................
Misty stood behind a building a little way away from the Goldenrod Radio Tower and took out her wand. "Water give me the power to transform and help my friends. Pretty Misty Power," Misty shouted. There were some flashing pink lights and Misty was transformed into the Magical Girl Pretty Misty. She was wearing a pink miniskirt, with ruffles flowing along the sides outlining all her feminine curves. She also wore a white tee shirt with puffy sleeves and a pink bow on the front. Her five-inch pink heels brought her up to a towering height representing the female warrior within. "Ash, I'm coming," Pretty Misty said as she ran to the Goldenrod Radio Tower.
............................................
At the Goldenrod Radio Tower, Brock and Pikachu managed to find Team Rocket's headquarters. Brock looked back and noticed Misty wasn't there. "Where could she have gone," Brock asked himself looking around the room. He frowned. "Well I we can't stop and look for her. We should find Ash first. I just hope she wasn't caught by Team Rocket." Brock turned down a hallway and came head to head with the reawakened Dark Pikachu. Brock jumped back. "What is that thing?"
Dark Pikachu raised its claws, ready to attack.
"Brock, move now," Pikachu shouted as he attacked the Dark Pikachu with a Quick Attack hitting it in the stomach. The Dark Pikachu flew back and hit the wall but didn't seem hurt at all. It formed a ball of electricity in its fist and sent it at Pikachu. Pikachu jumped out of the way but the Dark Pikachu kept up its attack, using its fists to break the ground under Pikachu. Pikachu used its speed to dodge but the Dark Pikachu kept on attacking. It was pretty fast and after a while, it managed to land a hit on Pikachu sending him flying across the hallway. Pikachu landed near Brock.
"Pikachu, are you okay?" Brock asked anxiously as he picked him up.
"I've been better but it's nothing serious," Pikachu replied.
"Hey monster, stop it right here," a girl's voice shouted. "I'm the Magical Girl Pretty Misty and I won't let you attack my friends anymore. In the name of love and justice, I will punish you." Pretty Misty took her wand out and made the shape of a heart with it. "Blue Heart Attack." Little blue hearts hit the Dark Pikachu throwing him back. Misty took her wand and hugged it against her chest. "Power of water, help me heal this creature of darkness. Pretty Misty Healing Mist." A blue mist came out of the wand and covered the Dark Pikachu. When the mist cleared, the Dark Pikachu had turned back into a regular Pikachu and ran off.
"What could have made that Pikachu change into that thing," Brock said.
Pretty Misty shook her head. "I don't know," she said. "But I sure hope Ash didn't run into anything like this."
"What? Do you think there are more of them," Pikachu said worriedly. "Come on then. We have hurry." Pikachu ran down the hallway after the Dark Pikachu. "Ash, be okay," he said to himself.
"Pikachu, wait up," Brock shouted.
"Yeah, wait for us," Pretty Misty shouted as she looked over at Brock and both of them broke into a run after Pikachu.
..........................................
Back with Ash and Melissa, they had reached the secret underground lab of Team Rocket. "Umm Melissa, I need to know. Why are you helping me?" Ash asked as he kicked at a locked door.
"I am a protector of justice and love," Melissa said. "I think what you're doing is really brave, going into danger to save the girl you love."
Ash stopped his efforts for a moment and looked at her quizzically. "How do you know about that?" he asked.
"I saw you in the park when it all happened," Melissa replied. "I wasn't able to help you then, so I decided to follow you."
"Well, thanks. I'm glad you did," Ash said smiling. He started kicking the lab door again and after a few more kicks finally managed to break the door down. As they walked in, they saw Minako tied to a chair attached some machine.
"Minako," Ash shouted as he ran over to her and started to untied her. "Minako, wake up. Please wake up." Ash began to shake her gently, trying to get her to wake up.
A small sound, like a moan, came from Minako throat. Her eyes started to flutter open. "Ash is that, you?" she asked groggily.
"Yeah, it's me," Ash said, his relief showing in his face and voice.
Minako opened her eyes and looked into Ash's. She put her arms around him and hugged him tightly. "Ash, I never thought I see you again."
"Hey, I promised to get you home safely didn't I?" Ash said confidently. "I always do my very best to keep my promises." He started to blush. I'd go to hell and back for you, Minako. I really, really like you."
"Wow this is just like one of those magical girl manga's, except this time the main heroine doesn't get the guy," Melissa said disappointedly. She shrugged. "Well there's always next time."
"Let's get out of here," Ash said. Before anyone could react, a huge metal arm came out of the dark side of the lab and grabbed Minako. "Minako," Ash shouted.
"Hey, what's going on? Who's would dare interrupt our rescue." Melissa said angrily.
"Prepare for super trouble."
"And make it mega double."
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unit all people within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Super Jessie."
"Mega James."
"Super Team Rock blasting off at the speed of light."
"Surrender now or prepare to fight."
A huge robot stepped out of dark. It looked a little like Pretty Misty, only dressed in black. Team Rocket was standing on its shoulders. Jessie was on one side and James and Meowth were on the other.
"Ultra-powered Meowth, that's right."
Ash was puzzled. What was all this super this and mega that nonsense. He looked closer at Team Rocket. They somehow did seem different. They looked bulkier, like they had more muscle, and their eyes were crimson red. Suddenly he saw Minako. She was in the center of the robot's stomach, imprisoned by a glass window. She seemed to be attached to the robot by wires. She was slumped over and her eyes were closed. "Give Minako back right now Team Rocket," Ash shouted.
"Why don't you make us," Jessie replied.
"No way. She's going to be my wife," James said, shaking his fist at them.
"Doesn't she get a said in that," Melissa demanded.
James crossed his arms and took on a confident air. "Of course, but once she's gets to know me..." he suddenly paused and squinted his eyes at Melissa. A little drool came out of his mouth. "Wow, you're really cute and you're a Magical Girl." He turned to his partner. "Jessie, I'm sure the boss would love her, don't you?"
Jessie looked at James in disgust and shook her head. "James, can't you be satisfied with two beautiful women in your life."
"Hold it, Jessie," Meowth said commandingly. "The little pervert has a point. If one Magical Girl is great, two Magical Girls will be even better. Mega Magical Girl Punch." The robot's arm suddenly extended straight toward Melissa. Ash jumped at Melissa, knocking her out of the way and taking the full force of the attack. He crashed into a wall and collapsed on the ground.
Melissa quickly got up. "W-Why did he do that?" she said to herself as she ran over to Ash who was lying on the ground.
"Are you alright?" Ash said weakly as she knelt next to him. "I couldn't let them hurt you after you helped me so much."
Just then Brock and the others ran into the room. "Ash," Pikachu shouted as he saw his master lying on the floor.
"What happened here?" Brock asked
"Well it looks like the rest of the twerp's friends made it," Meowth said.
"Team Rocket," Brock shouted as he looked at the Magical Girl Robot.
Pretty Misty ran over to Ash and Melissa. There was fire in her eyes. "Did Team Rocket do this?" she demanded.
"Yeah. Ash was trying to help me and he got in the way of one of that robot's attacks," Melissa said.
"Wow," Brock said as he noticed Melissa. He ran over and grabbed her hand. "Hi, my name is Brock but you can call me your soul mate."
"This isn't the time to be flirting," Pretty Misty shouted. She hit Brock over the head with her wand and dragged him off.
"Pikachu, you have to save Minako now," Ash said as he slowly pushed himself up.
"Right," Pikachu replied. He ran toward the Robot.
"I don't think so Pikachu," Meowth said as he pushed a button. "Magical Girl Wand Strike." The robot slammed it's wand into the ground where Pikachu was.
"Pikachu," Ash shouted as a cloud of smoke appeared hiding Pikachu from view. A small figure emerged from the mist, running up the wand. It was Pikachu. "Alright Pikachu, Quick Attack, now."
"Got it," Pikachu said with a grin as he sped up and jumped, slamming himself into the glass in the robot's stomach. Pikachu landed inside and tried to pull the wires from Minako.
"Forget the other Magical Girl. Let's get out of there," Jessie shouted as she made the robot's left arm go after Pikachu.
"Yes, I can't have the twerps running off with my future bride," James shouted as he made the right arm go after Pikachu.
"You three aren't going anywhere," Melissa said taking her wand out.
"Yeah, we won't let you have her or Pikachu," Pretty Misty shouted. She took out her wand and made the shape of a heart with it. "Blue Heart Attack."
"Blue Star Attack," Melissa shouted as she finished making a star shape with her wand.
"Not again," Team Rocket shouted as they saw the heart and star attacks break off the robot's arms.
"Great work girls," Pikachu said as he pulled the last wire from Minako. Suddenly, the robot began to fall forwards and before it could right itself, Minako and Pikachu started tumbling toward the ground.
"Minako," Ash shouted as he ran toward the falling pair. He caught her and the two collapsed on the ground together.
"Ash you saved me again," Minako said smiling as she looked at Ash.
"Yah I guess I did," Ash said as he watched her get up. She held out a hand and helped him up. "Hey Team Rocket you ready to give up."
"No way. I won't let you take my blonde hottie," James shouted. "Magical Girl Cannon prepare to fire." The mouth of the robot opened and a cannon emerged. A light could be seen forming inside the barrel.
"Ash, thanks for all the help but I'll take it from here," Minako said.
"What do you mean?" Ash asked.
"Venus Star Power, Make Up" Minako shouted as she took out her transforming pen. She was engulfed in colorful lights and when they faded. she was wearing her Sailor Scout Uniform. "I'm the pretty warrior of love. I'm the pretty Bishouja Sailor Venus.
"Minako is a Magical girl too," Ash said in amazement. "That must have been why Team Rocket wanted her."
"Yeah, I knew she was special from the start," Brock said. "My girl radar is never ever wrong."
Ash looked astonished. "Wow, Brock, if you're girl radar is so good, why do you keep striking out."
"I will stop you, Team Rocket, in the name of love," Minako shouted. Two crescent moons collided together as she raised her index fingers into the air above her head. Energy gathered as she brought her arms down. She pointed her glowing finger tips at the cannon.
"Cannon Ready Fire," James shouted. A silver beam of light shot from the robot's mouth.
"Crescent Beam," Minako shouted. A strong yellow beam of energy flew out from the end of her fingers. The yellow beam hit the silver light and started to push it back. The two beams of energy struggled for a few seconds until finally the cannon's light was pushed all the way back. There was a small boom and smoke started streaming from the robot's ears. "Give up now, Team Rocket."
"No, I can't lose now," James shouted. "I won't give her up. You won't be able to stop our cannon's Maximum Fire attack." He rubbed a tear from his eye. "This will hurt me as much as it will you, but it will worth once we're together."
"James, if you fire again the Robot will overload," Jessie yelled.
"Trust me. I know what I'm doing," James said as he watched the power gauge on the robot's neck go up to maximum. Just as it was about to reach its peak, it suddenly stopped and fell back to zero. "W-What, what happened?"
"Well it appears that we ran out of power," Meowth said. "That last attack used up all the reserve."
"You're kidding," James said with dismay.
"Well, if you need a power boost, I'll be happy to help you out," Pikachu said as he jumped up and grabbed one of the wires that had been attached to Minako. "Final Shock." Sparks appeared all over the robot. It exploded with a bang, blasting Team Rocket through the ceiling and out of a first floor window.
"Super Team Rocket blasting off again," Team Rocket shouted as they flew into the distance.
.................................
Back at the lab, Brock was busy on the computer doing some research. "Hmm, it looks like Team Rocket were the ones who brought Minako here to our world." He pointed to the two chairs. "These chairs are part of an energy transfer device. Using Minako's power, they could change an ordinary human into a super human."
"So that's why Team Rocket looked so weird, like they've been working out at a gym," Ash said.
"And that explains why they captured me. Brock, is there any information on how to send me back to my world?" Minako said.
Brock shook his head. "Nothing that I could find."
"So that means I'm stuck," Minako said sadly.
Melissa pushed passed Brock. "No, no, no, don't worry. I'm sure if we push all these buttons, one will be the way to send you home. Now how about this one over here." Melissa started pressing buttons randomly.
"Stop that. We have no idea what those controls do," Brock shouted.
"We have to take a chance, Brock," Pretty Misty said.
"Relax, what's the worse that could happen." Suddenly the lab went dark for an instant. Melissa giggled. "Sorry about that. Maybe I should read the label first." When the lights came back on, Melissa studied the controls. She pushed a button and warp portal opened up. She turned to the group and smiled. "See that wasn't so hard was it."
Ash turned to Minako. "I guess your leaving now," he said sadly.
Minako took Ash's hands in hers. "Yeah, I have to go back," she said. "I have friends back there that are depending on me and I can't let them down. I'm sorry, Ash. I'll really miss you and I hope we'll see one another again." She put one of her hands on his cheek, leaned forward and kissed him. "Good bye Ash. I'll never forget you," Minako said as she walked away. She waved at the others standing next to the portal. "Thanks for all the help, guys. I'll never forget any of you. Good bye." Minako stepped through the portal and it vanished.
"I guess I should get going too," Melissa said as she looked over at Ash who looked pretty depressed. She walked up to him and put her arm around him. "Don't be so down, okay. I know there's someone great out there just waiting for you." She went to the door and turned around. Ash looked up and she gave him a big smile. "I'll see you later, Ash," she said and with that she was gone.
"Man," Brock said a little shocked. "Ash, you lucky dog. Minako and now this new girl. I guess it's only naturally that hanging out with me has turned you into a babe magnet but I never thought you'd do better then me."
Ash stared around the room and sighed. "I'm not that lucky, really," he said. "Hey, where did Pretty Misty go?"
Brock looked around. "I'm not sure," he said. "Pikachu, did you see anything?"
Pikachu shook his head. "Nope, not a thing," he replied.
"Well I think we should get going before anything else happens," Brock said. "Plus, we really need to find Misty."
"Misty's gone?" Ash said surprised.
"Yah, we lost her on our way here," Brock said. "I'm sure she'll be fine though. She can take care of herself."
When they reached the lobby, Misty ran up to them. "Guys, what happened? Where's Minako?" she said anxiously.
Ash sighed. "Don't worry. Minako's okay. We managed to save her from Team Rocket and found the machine they used to bring her here. Then she went home."
Misty stepped closer to Ash, a look of concern on her face. "Ash, are you okay with that," she asked.
"Yah, I think I am," he replied. "After all, I knew she'd have to leave sometime."
Brock smiled and clasped an arm around Ash. "Don't worry. Ash will be fine. Why, he's already got this hot new girl after him," he said. "Ash is so damn lucky. First Pretty Misty, then Minako and now this new magical girl." A tear appeared in Brock's eye and he quickly wiped it away. "It looks like the student has surpassed the master."
Misty gave Brock a withering look. "Yeah, who'd of thought Ash would become so popular," she said.
"Ash you're the chu," Pikachu said.
"It's the man, Pikachu," Brock said. "Ash is the man. Listen, let's finish this in the morning. I'm sure Nurse Joy is worried sick about us."
"Yeah, Brock's right," Ash said. The four companions left Team Rocket's headquarters and made their way back to the Pokemon Center.
Author's Notes: Well there's chapter four. Now that you read it please review and tell me what you think. Well now that Minako's gone home it looks like Misty won't have as many romance problems but how long will that last. In the next exciting chapter Misty will finally get to meet with her rival in love and to top that off there still Team Rocket to deal with.

They looked bulkier, like they had more muscle, and their eyes were crimson red. Suddenly he saw Minako. She was in the center of the robot's stomach, imprisoned by a glass window. She seemed to be attached to the robot by wires. She was slumped over and her eyes were closed. "Give Minako back right now Team Rocket," Ash shouted.
"Why don't you make us," Jessie replied.
"No way. She's going to be my wife," James said, shaking his fist at them.
"Doesn't she get a said in that," Melissa demanded.
James crossed his arms and took on a confident air. "Of course, but once she's gets to know me..." he suddenly paused and squinted his eyes at Melissa. A little drool came out of his mouth. "Wow, you're really cute and you're a Magical Girl." He turned to his partner. "Jessie, I'm sure the boss would love her, don't you?"
Jessie looked at James in disgust and shook her head. "James, can't you be satisfied with two beautiful women in your life."
"Hold it, Jessie," Meowth said commandingly. "The little pervert has a point. If one Magical Girl is great, two Magical Girls will be even better. Mega Magical Girl Punch." The robot's arm suddenly extended straight toward Melissa. Ash jumped at Melissa, knocking her out of the way and taking the full force of the attack. He crashed into a wall and collapsed on the ground.
Melissa quickly got up. "W-Why did he do that?" she said to herself as she ran over to Ash who was lying on the ground.
"Are you alright?" Ash said weakly as she knelt next to him. "I couldn't let them hurt you after you helped me so much."
Just then Brock and the others ran into the room. "Ash," Pikachu shouted as he saw his master lying on the floor.
"What happened here?" Brock asked
"Well it looks like the rest of the twerp's friends made it," Meowth said.
"Team Rocket," Brock shouted as he looked at the Magical Girl Robot.
Pretty Misty ran over to Ash and Melissa. There was fire in her eyes. "Did Team Rocket do this?" she demanded.
"Yeah. Ash was trying to help me and he got in the way of one of that robot's attacks," Melissa said.
"Wow," Brock said as he noticed Melissa. He ran over and grabbed her hand. "Hi, my name is Brock but you can call me your soul mate."
"This isn't the time to be flirting," Pretty Misty shouted. She hit Brock over the head with her wand and dragged him off.
"Pikachu, you have to save Minako now," Ash said as he slowly pushed himself up.
"Right," Pikachu replied. He ran toward the Robot.
"I don't think so Pikachu," Meowth said as he pushed a button. "Magical Girl Wand Strike." The robot slammed it's wand into the ground where Pikachu was.
"Pikachu," Ash shouted as a cloud of smoke appeared hiding Pikachu from view. A small figure emerged from the mist, running up the wand. It was Pikachu. "Alright Pikachu, Quick Attack, now."
"Got it," Pikachu said with a grin as he sped up and jumped, slamming himself into the glass in the robot's stomach. Pikachu landed inside and tried to pull the wires from Minako.
"Forget the other Magical Girl. Let's get out of there," Jessie shouted as she made the robot's left arm go after Pikachu.
"Yes, I can't have the twerps running off with my future bride," James shouted as he made the right arm go after Pikachu.
"You three aren't going anywhere," Melissa said taking her wand out.
"Yeah, we won't let you have her or Pikachu," Pretty Misty shouted. She took out her wand and made the shape of a heart with it. "Blue Heart Attack."
"Blue Star Attack," Melissa shouted as she finished making a star shape with her wand.
"Not again," Team Rocket shouted as they saw the heart and star attacks break off the robot's arms.
"Great work girls," Pikachu said as he pulled the last wire from Minako. Suddenly, the robot began to fall forwards and before it could right itself, Minako and Pikachu started tumbling toward the ground.
"Minako," Ash shouted as he ran toward the falling pair. He caught her and the two collapsed on the ground together.
"Ash you saved me again," Minako said smiling as she looked at Ash.
"Yah I guess I did," Ash said as he watched her get up. She held out a hand and helped him up. "Hey Team Rocket you ready to give up."
"No way. I won't let you take my blonde hottie," James shouted. "Magical Girl Cannon prepare to fire." The mouth of the robot opened and a cannon emerged. A light could be seen forming inside the barrel.
"Ash, thanks for all the help but I'll take it from here," Minako said.
"What do you mean?" Ash asked.
"Venus Star Power, Make Up" Minako shouted as she took out her transforming pen. She was engulfed in colorful lights and when they faded. she was wearing her Sailor Scout Uniform. "I'm the pretty warrior of love. I'm the pretty Bishouja Sailor Venus.
"Minako is a Magical girl too," Ash said in amazement. "That must have been why Team Rocket wanted her."
"Yeah, I knew she was special from the start," Brock said. "My girl radar is never ever wrong."
Ash looked astonished. "Wow, Brock, if you're girl radar is so good, why do you keep striking out."
"I will stop you, Team Rocket, in the name of love," Minako shouted. Two crescent moons collided together as she raised her index fingers into the air above her head. Energy gathered as she brought her arms down. She pointed her glowing finger tips at the cannon.
"Cannon Ready Fire," James shouted. A silver beam of light shot from the robot's mouth.
"Crescent Beam," Minako shouted. A strong yellow beam of energy flew out from the end of her fingers. The yellow beam hit the silver light and started to push it back. The two beams of energy struggled for a few seconds until finally the cannon's light was pushed all the way back. There was a small boom and smoke started streaming from the robot's ears. "Give up now, Team Rocket."
"No, I can't lose now," James shouted. "I won't give her up. You won't be able to stop our cannon's Maximum Fire attack." He rubbed a tear from his eye. "This will hurt me as much as it will you, but it will worth once we're together."
"James, if you fire again the Robot will overload," Jessie yelled.
"Trust me. I know what I'm doing," James said as he watched the power gauge on the robot's neck go up to maximum. Just as it was about to reach its peak, it suddenly stopped and fell back to zero. "W-What, what happened?"
"Well it appears that we ran out of power," Meowth said. "That last attack used up all the reserve."
"You're kidding," James said with dismay.
"Well, if you need a power boost, I'll be happy to help you out," Pikachu said as he jumped up and grabbed one of the wires that had been attached to Minako. "Final Shock." Sparks appeared all over the robot. It exploded with a bang, blasting Team Rocket through the ceiling and out of a first floor window.
"Super Team Rocket blasting off again," Team Rocket shouted as they flew into the distance.
.................................
Back at the lab, Brock was busy on the computer doing some research. "Hmm, it looks like Team Rocket were the ones who brought Minako here to our world." He pointed to the two chairs. "These chairs are part of an energy transfer device. Using Minako's power, they could change an ordinary human into a super human."
"So that's why Team Rocket looked so weird, like they've been working out at a gym," Ash said.
"And that explains why they captured me. Brock, is there any information on how to send me back to my world?" Minako said.
Brock shook his head. "Nothing that I could find."
"So that means I'm stuck," Minako said sadly.
Melissa pushed passed Brock. "No, no, no, don't worry. I'm sure if we push all these buttons, one will be the way to send you home. Now how about this one over here." Melissa started pressing buttons randomly.
"Stop that. We have no idea what those controls do," Brock shouted.
"We have to take a chance, Brock," Pretty Misty said.
"Relax, what's the worse that could happen." Suddenly the lab went dark for an instant. Melissa giggled. "Sorry about that. Maybe I should read the label first." When the lights came back on, Melissa studied the controls. She pushed a button and warp portal opened up. She turned to the group and smiled. "See that wasn't so hard was it."
Ash turned to Minako. "I guess your leaving now," he said sadly.
Minako took Ash's hands in hers. "Yeah, I have to go back," she said. "I have friends back there that are depending on me and I can't let them down. I'm sorry, Ash. I'll really miss you and I hope we'll see one another again." She put one of her hands on his cheek, leaned forward and kissed him. "Good bye Ash. I'll never forget you," Minako said as she walked away. She waved at the others standing next to the portal. "Thanks for all the help, guys. I'll never forget any of you. Good bye." Minako stepped through the portal and it vanished.
"I guess I should get going too," Melissa said as she looked over at Ash who looked pretty depressed. She walked up to him and put her arm around him. "Don't be so down, okay. I know there's someone great out there just waiting for you." She went to the door and turned around. Ash looked up and she gave him a big smile. "I'll see you later, Ash," she said and with that she was gone.
"Man," Brock said a little shocked. "Ash, you lucky dog. Minako and now this new girl. I guess it's only naturally that hanging out with me has turned you into a babe magnet but I never thought you'd do better then me."
Ash stared around the room and sighed. "I'm not that lucky, really," he said. "Hey, where did Pretty Misty go?"
Brock looked around. "I'm not sure," he said. "Pikachu, did you see anything?"
Pikachu shook his head. "Nope, not a thing," he replied.
"Well I think we should get going before anything else happens," Brock said. "Plus, we really need to find Misty."
"Misty's gone?" Ash said surprised.
"Yah, we lost her on our way here," Brock said. "I'm sure she'll be fine though. She can take care of herself."
When they reached the lobby, Misty ran up to them. "Guys, what happened? Where's Minako?" she said anxiously.
Ash sighed. "Don't worry. Minako's okay. We managed to save her from Team Rocket and found the machine they used to bring her here. Then she went home."
Misty stepped closer to Ash, a look of concern on her face. "Ash, are you okay with that," she asked.
"Yah, I think I am," he replied. "After all, I knew she'd have to leave sometime."
Brock smiled and clasped an arm around Ash. "Don't worry. Ash will be fine. Why, he's already got this hot new girl after him," he said. "Ash is so damn lucky. First Pretty Misty, then Minako and now this new magical girl." A tear appeared in Brock's eye and he quickly wiped it away. "It looks like the student has surpassed the master."
Misty gave Brock a withering look. "Yeah, who'd of thought Ash would become so popular," she said.
"Ash you're the chu," Pikachu said.
"It's the man, Pikachu," Brock said. "Ash is the man. Listen, let's finish this in the morning. I'm sure Nurse Joy is worried sick about us."
"Yeah, Brock's right," Ash said. The four companions left Team Rocket's headquarters and made their way back to the Pokemon Center.
