Maybe Team Rocket should have done their vacation shopping online…oh well; I bet they wouldn't know how to use a computer anyways without it blowing up in their faces or something. For this next chapter's subject, I needed help from the head hancho of our team of authors: Master Jin Sonata himself!


#22: Ownage by Batman

After a twelve-hour plane flight, Team Rocket finally arrives at the first vacation spot chosen by James: Gotham City. After exiting the plane and gathering their things, the three head out into the streets of the city blanketed in perpetual night.

"Geez, this place doesn't necessarily scream out 'fun', doesn't it?" Jessie says out loud, looking about the gloomy and barren streets.

"Yeah, more like 'depressing' if you asks me," Meowth adds, looking at the travel guide to the city.

James steps in front of the two and stops them.

"Now hold on a sec! I chose this spot because this city offers nighttime activities like clubs, dinners, and after-hour parties. Now cheer up you two, this is supposed to be a vacation, let's start it on a happy note, hmm?" James says to them, trying to lighten the mood.

Suddenly, gunfire was heard in the distance, followed by the sound of an alarm from a nearby building.

"Did that brochure of yours mention anything about fireworks or something? Sounds like something exciting is happening," Meowth speculates out loud and pointing toward the skies as a golden strobe light with an outline of a bat was shining across the sky.

It wasn't long until the trio sees three men in ski masks rushing down the street toward their direction. The masked men stop and quickly shove several bags of stolen cash into the arms of the trio before running away.

"What was that all about I wonder?" Jessie asks out loud to no one in particular.

"I don't know, I think they were the welcoming committee or something. We got ourselves some free stuff!" James says, examining the bags he and his partners were holding.

Another surprise came their way…or in this case, drops down in front of them from above…

…the Dark Knight himself.

"So you are the ones who robbed that bank," says an un-amused Batman to the trio.

"Robbed…?" James says with shock.

"…Bank?" Meowth echoes in surprise.

"And from the looks of your uniforms, you must be in cahoots with the Joker or some other organization," Batman continues.

"What?! Wait, no, you've got it all wrong here!" Jessie protests.

"Give me one good reason why I should believe you," Batman asks them, arms crossed.

The trio look at one another before turning back to the Caped Crusader with an answer.

"Uh…we're on vacation?" they all respond simultaneously with a cheesy smile.

Batman cracks his knuckles and proceeds to clobber the trio of suspected robbers.

"Wrong answer."

BIFF!

SMACK!

POW!

SPLAT!

POP!

CRUNCH!

WHAM!


Ouch! I'm pretty sure you can guess how this situation ends. Let's just say they lose half of their vacation funds bailing themselves out of jail.
Please review and stay tuned to the next!
