Time for the next saga: Vacation Nightmares!


#21: Death by Crazed Shoppers

Giovanni's Office

"Jessie, James, Meowth, I'm sending you three on vacation!"

The members of Team Rocket were inside Giovanni's office, standing before their boss as he gave them the unexpected news.

"Vacation?! Are you sure this is such a good idea?!" Jessie responds, in awe and excitement of the announcement.

"Yeah, I mean, we have yet to bring you any rare Pokemon lately…well…not yet at all that is…" James adds, very interested in the idea of a bit of R&R.

"Of course I think it's a good idea! You guys haven't gotten a proper break from your work since you graduated from Team Rocket Academy!" Giovanni says, petting his Persian who was lying on his lap.

"So where are we headed exactly?" Meowth asks as he eyes his boss's Persian with continued disdain.

"It's all up to you! I have here a bunch of brochures for you to look at. Heck, try out all of these places if you wish. I'm giving you three 50,000 dollars allowance and a whole month to enjoy it with," Giovanni continues, handing each member a bunch of brochures to various locations.

"This is fantastic! James, Meowth, let's go shopping in prep for our trip!" Jessie says to them with further excitement.

"Right!" both males responds simultaneous as they then exit out of the office.

Giovanni sighs after his employees leave the vicinity.

"It's about time I got someone to take up these vacation destinations. Dangerous they all may be, someone's got to use them after I paid a fortune to reserve plane tickets to these various places…" he thought out loud.


Viridian City Mall

The Team Rocket trio arrives at Viridian City Mall a little while later. As they walk through the various parts of the large shopping center wondering what to buy first for their trips, they hear an announcement over the loud speakers.

"Attention Viridian City Mall shoppers! There is a huge sale off of souvenir Pokeballs located within Professor Oak's Antiques! Sale ends in five minutes, so buy one before its too late!"

"Souvenir Pokeballs? Who would want that junk?" James wonders out loud.

The ground around the trio suddenly started shaking violently. All three of them turn around to witness at least a hundred frantic shoppers stampeding their direction, all heading toward the store where the sale was being held.

"Hey…! Whoa…! Wait…! Stop!" Meowth says as he began backing away slowly.

His futile efforts to try and halt the massive crowds failed miserably as the shoppers proceed to trample over Team Rocket without hesitation.

"Ow…" Jessie moans as she and the other two slowly tried to get up, their bodies stamped with footprints.

The mall's loudspeaker then came on once again with another announcement.

"Attention Viridian City Mall shoppers! We are having a massive clearance of epic proportions off of various football equipment in Hitmonlee's Sports Emporium, happening right now!"

"Huh?!" the trio says in unison as they turned and saw an oncoming charge of several big, burly, 300-pound football players rushing toward their direction, slamming into them like a freight train and crushing them under their weight.

After they had passed; Jessie, James, and Meowth lie on the floor twitching from the impact.

"This…is…ridiculous!" James managed to sputter.

Again, the mall's loudspeaker came on again with yet another announcement.

"Attention Viridian City Mall shoppers! Free food samples are being handed out for your Pokemon at Brock's Food Court, located directly behind the three individuals lying on the floor near the entrance!"

"Oh you have GOT to be kidding me…!" Meowth groans as he and his partners now see in front of them a horde of Pokemon of the extremely large variety crashing down the walkway toward their direction.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" all three of them yell as they are destroyed underneath the feet, claws, fins, bodies, and other various parts of the mass of Pokemon stomping over them.


This, folks, is why I myself never go shopping during clearance sales, anytime, anywhere! Please review and stay tuned to the next!
