Conner and Sandy stood proudly at Red, Green, and Blue. "It's been a year, but we're back!" exclaimed Conner.
"And this time, we're really going to kill you now," threatened Sandy. "Hit it, Klaus!"
Klaus Sontial, one of the four Rocket Brothers, unaware of Hans and Franz's resignation, turned on the cameras. "Ready, Horst?"
"We're all ready for shooting!" answered Horst. "Where's Hans and Franz?"
"They went AWOL," said Conner. "I think they quit. Fine then! We'll go without them. Let us announce our return!"

Lt. Surge asked, "Was my nephew with them?"
"What?" Duncan was confused. Lt. Surge had a relative with Team Rocket?
"You know, my nephew, Tabitha Ventosia."
"Yeah," answered Kamon. "He's a Team Rocket Elite."
Surge's smile then dropped to a frown. "I've been wondering where that mullet man went."
Ben then told him, "Well, he's snoozing in the basement with his girlfriend Courtney."
"Thanks a lot, old geezer! Well, I'm gonna go down and have a little talk with him." Surge headed downstairs.
---
Surge searched the dimly lit basement until he saw Conner and Sandy fighting the Color Triad. "Ha! Those Rockets are no match for powerful trainers!"
"Quick, Birdo, get out of the way!" exclaimed Green. Sandy's Murkrow zoomed toward Green's Pidgeotto, who flew out of the way. Birdo flapped his wings rapidly near a running wall fan to build up a gust. Once the gust was strong enough to blow away Murkrow, he released it. The gust blew Murkrow away, and onto a metal crate. The genetically-modified black bird, however, persisted to attack the all-natural brown-tan bird, as it rose up, flapping its wings in anger.
Birdo looked in worry; Pokemon that were genetically modified seemed more violent than naturally raised Pokemon. Murkrow didn't seem to show any signs of stopping until its enemy was killed. In fury, Murkrow emitted a flash of light. Everyone covered their eyes, except for Birdo, who needed his wings out to stay airborne, and his eyes opened to know where the dark bird was coming from. Birdo, blinded, crashed into the fan, which cut up some of his feathers. Green quickly recalled the bird to make sure no further damage was done.
Green then knew something was wrong. "Wait a second! Murkrow can't learn Flash!"
Conner then retorted, "Oh, yes, it can! Our scientists can modify a Pokemon to allow it to learn any move we want! Remember?"
"Oh, yeah..." Blue was embarrassed. He forgot how Team Rocket had a habit of modifying Pokemon to make them super-powerful. "We remember. Genetic modification. It's not natural. I think we admit defeat!"
Sandy then rejected the idea. "Forget it. We're fighting here until one team loses."
"I don't think that's a good idea, dune-head!" Lt. Surge! "Show 'em, Raichu!"
"Heh heh, dune-head," snickered Conner. Sandy angrily pushed him.

A thunderstorm was beginning to brew up. Suddenly, a bright flash of lightning illuminated Omri's dark office, surprising Kamon. "Hey, Mr. Cinedima?"
"Why yes, Silver?"
"It looks like a severe thunderstorm's building up," said Kamon. Strange... the forecast news didn't say anything about thunderstorms.
"Something strange is going on..." wondered Crystal.
---
Three large dogs ran through the Johto valley in the rain. As rain fell down onto the electric dog, electricity began to build up until it came loose into the sky. Afterwards, a flash of light formed in the sky, along with a boom of thunder.
"Where are we going?" asked Entei.
Raikou then told him, "Something's calling us, and we're going to find out what!"
Suicune regretted coming along. "Raikou and I don't mix," he grumbled. "Where I'm present, it rains, and Raikou's electricity comes up at the sky. And that creates thunderstorms."
---
The storm was intensifying. Something was definitely wrong here. Team Rocket not only invaded the tower to call for Kamon's father, but it appeared something else was in mind! "There's something wrong!" Gusts rushed violently into an open window. "We'd better get out of here, quick!"
Omri, Axel, and Spike quickly rushed down the stairs; the strong winds pulled Duncan, Crystal, and Kamon out through windows that shattered as they came through.
"Hang on tight, Crystal!" urged Kamon. "Don't let go, Gold!"
---
Suddenly, the wind stopped, and the three fell ten stories to the ground, but a psychic bond slowed their fall. "What was that?" asked Duncan curiously. Three large dogs stood in front of them.
Suicune stared at Crystal, who uncontrollably came forward. Kamon came toward Entei, and Gold to Raikou.
"This was a human call..." said an upset Entei, looking at the demolished tower.
"Team Rocket, actually," said Kamon. "They're back."
An army of Team Rocket Grunts, along with Conner and Sandy, had exit the tower before its destruction, and were amazed to see Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. There was no sign of the Color Triad, the Elite Four, or the Gym Leaders anywhere. They had been killed trying to escape.
Conner then told Entei, "Come on, now, we want to be your masters!"
Sandy added, "Can you imagine how powerful we can make you?"
"Power does not equal good," retorted Entei. "Used oppressively, it may equal evil, which in turn leads to hate and suffering. We must decline your offer, as this can cause certain death of the Earth."
The three then emitted a strange sonar, which entered into Ilex Forest. The sleeping occupant of the shrine awoke, and flapped its wings to Goldenrod City.
"That's Celebi!" exclaimed Crystal. "The time-traveling Pokemon!" The green flying psychic poured a strange powder onto the crowd. A flash of white light illuminated the area. When it cleared, everything that happened in the Radio Tower, save for the three dogs finding it, repeated.
---
Kamon awoke, surprised by his dream. Pfft. Like that would ever happen, he thought. The others probably defeated Team Rocket by now; therefore, Team Rocket would cease to exist. But he still remembered seeing the legendary Pokemon, but he didn't bother telling anyone else - they wouldn't believe him. He looked around, and saw that the Radio Tower was in no danger of collapsing. He stared out at the window, checking if any storm was about to begin. The sky couldn't have been any clearer. Stars and the Moon were clearly visible. "Hey, Mr. Cinedima?"
"Why yes, Silver?"
"It's a wonderful night for a walk, and the police are on their way."
"Maybe we could go out, Silver..." said Crystal suavely. "We could continue our date at the beach where we left off." She kissed Kamon's cheek, who, in turn, looked at her warmly. Crystal had that same dream. But if it were no dream, then Celebi was such a big help to rewind the Radio Tower events!
"Sure. Let's go home, and resume our date tomorrow night. There's nothing left for us here now," admitted Kamon. "Bye, Mr. Cinedima!"
"Oh, yes, I've got something for you, as a memento for my rescue. Here you go." Omri handed Crystal a rainbow-colored metallic feather. "This is the Rainbow Wing. As long as Silver has his Silver Wing and you have your Rainbow Wing, you'll love each other forever."
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Cinedima!" Crystal knew for sure that she and Kamon would never separate.
---
"You... beat us again!" snapped Sandy. "You obviously never understand our true value!"
"Really?" asked Red. "Which is that?"
"Well, uh... I don't know," admitted Conner.
Lance then harshly told Sandy, "Your niece is dead, and you don't have Giovanni to save you now."
"Well, it looks like Team Rocket's finished again..." Conner knew it. "If Giovanni wanted us gone, then I guess that's really something we'll have to accept, then."
Sandy realized that what they had done killed Lorelei. "I can't believe it! My brother Ed's really going to kill me now! We've tarnished the Drayan and Casabic family names!"
---
Blowtorch blew fire at the frozen Courtney and Becky, as Lt. Surge
lectured his recently-awakened nephew. "Look, Tab," said Surge.
"I got worried about you; you haven't come back home for six
months! I've been looking for you!"
"OK, I'm sorry, Uncle
Surge, I just wanted to move out and live on my own! Team Rocket
convinced me! And I've got Courtney here..."
"Oh, Tabby, we'll always be together!" Courtney, recently defrosted, but still cold and soaking wet, held Tabitha's hand.
"Could Courtney move in with us?"
"Sure thing! You'll make a great couple!" Surge was surprised that this undisciplined twenty-year-old young man with a mullet actually got the girl!
"We're going to have a nice time living together!" Courtney winked at Tabitha.
---
Professor Elm, Roger, and Lisa drove to the Radio Tower.
Lisa quickly ran towards the leaving Duncan, Crystal, and Kamon. "Oh! Duncan! Crystal! You're OK!"
"Mom!" Crystal and Duncan cried out in unison.
"I was worried about you," said the geeky-looking Roger.
"Hey, dad!" Duncan and Crystal were glad to see their parents after such a long time.
"We were just heading off to my house," said Kamon. "Crystal and I are going to the beach tomorrow night. Bye, Crystal."
"Bye, Silver."
Roger then noticed the Togepi in Crystal's arms. "Hey, that's a nice Togepi."
Professor Elm then remembered... Togepi! "Oh, yeah! Togepi!"
Crystal told them, "His name's Spike, and he likes us. He's my pet Togepi!"
---
"Well, Drayans, you violated your paroles," said Ben. "You tried to bring back Team Rocket, but it didn't work. Now you could spend the rest of your twenty years behind bars. And the Machoke that's killed Lorelei's going off to Pokemon Rehab."
Jasmine added firmly, "And you poisoned Amphy, which could have caused accidents at sea. You obviously misuse your Pokemon, and hurt other people's Pokemon as well!"
Bruno flashed a memory card at Conner and Sandy. "Nice move; you recorded your conversations and battle with the Color Triad. Now we know everything you did."
Becky then said in a breaking voice, "I guess it's good-bye to Mach. We've had a good time together..."
Lance then remarked, "I guess crime doesn't pay!"
"Well, remember, Team Rocket's finished forever, and we've accepted that now," declared Conner.
---
"I'm back, Uncle Norman!"
"Kamon! You're okay! I was worried about you!"
Kamon brushed it off. "Look, don't worry about me. Team Rocket's disbanded again, once and for all. I'm safe now!" It still didn't change the fact that his dad was still missing. The empty space he had before all this mayhem happened was still there. Maybe it would eventually happen; his father may be out there, waiting to be found.
