It had been one of Giovanni's latest plans he wanted to take over the world right?, well what better way then using one of his own Team Rocket devices to take over people's Pokémon. He had learned his lesson long ago about making his own, the whole situation with Mewtwo had been a disaster. But thanks to his own Team Rocket members.
His dreams would soon be a reality.
Any Pokémon in the area would be effected by this, including one Cat Pokémon who had earned his Boss's affections only months ago.
It had started for Meowth a soft ringing in his ears, something that he couldn't quite shake. A uneasy pull of sorts yet he was in the location he was suppose to be? Of course being Giovanni's companion now and his top cat. Meowth knew exactly what it was.
It hurt, he was in pain, and it made him feel ill.
But wasen't about to tell his Boss, this was his life long dream to take over the Pokémon world. And it was starting to work, a certain Pikachu that had been a pain in his butt for years was one of them. Prompting Meowth to know the Twerps would be soon behind.
It had been at least 2 months since Meowth had become his Boss's Pokémon not seeing the Twerp in that long, Meowth hated to admit he missed their encounters from time to time. They unlike his old partners seemed to care about his wellbeing.
He now traveled with his friend Goh wasn't it?
Walking down the Headquarters halls the Cat Pokemon pushed back the sick feeling in his body, which had been effecting him ever since his Boss's new plan went underway. Taking a couple deep breaths he paused when he saw a familar Pikachu coming his way.
"So they really did get ya didn't they buddy?" Meowth stated quietly, he was used to seeing the determined look in the Twerps Pokemon's eyes. Not this lifeless brainwashed form. The Cat Pokémon's balance wavered vertigo suddenly effecting him. Leaning up against the wall he watched Pikachu go in the direction that other Pokemon went.
"This sucks" Meowth whined.
"Pikachu! Buddy were coming".
"Oh great just what i need". Meowth mentally groaned. He flopped against the wall just as Ash and Goh came around the corner.
"Meowth?!" Ash stated in surprise skitting to a halt. "I haven't seen you in months. Figured your behind this". While there anger in his voice also a hint of concern. "Hey are you ok?"
"Not really". Meowth whined. "My Boss has this device to control Pokemon. But being as I am already on the Boss's side. Being close to this ringing is making me sick".
"Ash?" Goh stated softly as Ash just gazed at his long time enemy who curled up in a ball covering his ears.
"We need to get Meowth to the Pokemon center".
"But what about...".
"Pikachu will be fine unharmed as long as he's under Giovonni's control. But Meowth IS hurt. Who knows if this will kill him. Even if we have a bad past I can't let any Pokemon just die. Even a Evil one".
Ash scooped up the Pokemon cradling the Meowth against his chest, who groaned in pain exchanging looks with Goh the two ran out of the building but not before Ash looked back once.
"Don't worry PIkachu". Ash thought teeth gritted. "I'll come back for you".
