James shows a lot of love for his Pokemon, no? Maybe too much…
#16: Death by Their Own Traps
It was a beautiful sunny day along the trails within the Sinnoh region.
Team Rocket were making their way toward the location where they believed Paul was at so they could attempt, again, to steal his Pokemon.
As they walked along the trail, they conversed with one-another on how to execute their next plot.
"How about we run him down with a car?" James suggests. "That way he'll be too injured to protect his Pokemon."
"You idiot! You want to risk harming the Pokemon too? Besides, we don't have a car, let alone afford one," Meowth shoots back.
"Especially not on the salary our boss is currently giving us…" Jessie adds.
"Okay, we'll just steal one then!" James suggests.
"I don't know, it seems after 10 Seasons of the Pokemon television show, that method we keep using seems to be getting a bit stale, you know?" Meowth contemplated out loud.
"You're right. Stealing is overrated. We should…resort to more drastic measures?" Jessie asks.
"Drastic measures? What did you have in mind?" James asks curiously.
"Well, for starters, let's try…WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
The conversation was cut short as the trio suddenly walks over a leaf-covered, dugout pit in the road, causing them to fall through and get impaled by rows of tall, sharp spikes at its bottom.
Moments later, Ash, Dawn, Brock, and Paul rush toward the scene from down the road and look down at the now dead villains.
"I must admit, that was clever. Those stalkers deserve it! Here's your pay," Paul says to Ash, handing him a suitcase of cash.
"Thanks. It's a about time they fell through a trap hole themselves," Ash says to Paul.
"By the way, whose idea was to add spikes inside the pit?" Paul asks.
Everyone turns toward Dawn, who gave them an innocent look.
OR, IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED LIKE THIS…
The conversation was cut short as the trio suddenly walk over a leaf-covered, dugout pit in the road, causing Jessie and James to fall through and get impaled by rows of tall, sharp spikes at its bottom.
Meowth, however, caught onto the ledge and frantically climbed out of it.
"Oh man! This is messed up! What am I going to do now that Jessie and James are dead?" says a very panicked Meowth as he looks in horror of his slain allies.
Before Meowth could leave and get some help, a large, rich-looking lady comes up to him out of nowhere and grabs him and starts hugging and snuggling him tightly.
"I've finally found my runaway Meowthy-poo! Come here shnookums and give mommy a biiig hug!" says the rich lady as she continues to smother Meowth with love.
"H-Hey! Let me go lady! I don't know who you are, but you must got the wrong cat here!" Meowth says as he struggles to break free from the overjoyed woman. "Who the heck wrote this sick turn of events into this chapter?!" Meowth pleads.
BUT WHAT IF TEAM ROCKET ANTICIPATES THE TRAP BEFOREHAND?
Team Rocket were further up the road putting together some traps of their own after evading the pit trap back down the trail.
"How dare someone try to make us fall into a trap that we came up with first!" Jessie says angrily.
"Have they no originality? Whoever thought of tying to get rid of us will be in for it this time!" James adds.
"Which is why we are going to plant some improvised explosive devices we snagged from the Police HQ after that embarrassing interrogation last week," Meowth says.
After setting up various bombs hidden on both sides of the trail, James and Jessie look to Meowth.
"Okay, these are ready. Now, where did you set the trip-wire for the explosives?" Jessie asks.
"A few hundred feet ahead of us," Meowth responds.
"Good. Now Let's get to it quickly before someone else trips it—" James says
Meanwhile down the road…
Ash, Dawn, Brock, and Paul were walking together, when…
"Ow!" says Dawn as she trips and falls over something close to the ground.
"Are you okay Dawn?" Brock asks, leaning over to help her back up.
"Yeah, I'm alright. I think I tripped on something…" Dawn responds.
"Hey, look at that!" Ash says, pointing up toward the sky.
The four watch as a small mushroom cloud appears before them roughly a few hundred feet from them.
"Wow…I wonder what just happened ?" Ash asks.
"Who cares. Now let's get to the city so I can battle you and put your failed Pokemon to shame," Paul says to Ash, turning to leave the area.
Today's lesson? Be wary of Karma, as it'll always come back to bite you in the ass. Oh, and Dawn is still a klutz.
Please review and stay tuned to the next!
