Chapter #4- Devising A Plan

"Dear Twerps,

If you ever want to see your little friend again, you will do exactly as we say.

You will surrender all of your Pokemon to us, especially that magnificent Prinplup.

You will send the short, brown-haired twerp to surrender with all of your Pokemon in a bag, alone, no authorities.

We return the little blue haired girl, no questions asked, no harm done.

And unless you follow these instructions perfectly, she will become the newest and most welcome member of Team Rocket!

Any questions?"

Kenny read out loud while everyone else read over his shoulder. Once he finished, he set the letter down and turned to face the others.

"Well," Kenny said, rubbing his head, "You heard their demands, so what should we do."

"We should probably do what they said, and follow the instructions perfectly," Ash answered, as Misty placed a supportive hand on his shoulder. "We don't want Dawn to be forced to join Team Rocket, do we?"

They all shook their heads, the panic from earlier engulfing them again. Now that they knew who Dawn was with, and the stakes of the situation, they knew that getting her back would not be an easy task.

"Well, now we need a plan…" Brock stated thoughtfully, rubbing his chin.

"Yeah," Misty agreed, "We want Dawn back, but we don't want to give up all our Pokemon!" Kenny and Brock mumbled their agreement.

"Okay, okay!" Ash called, causing Brock, Kenny, and all of their Pokemon eating breakfast to quiet down. "Let's just stop panicking and just think for a second!" He walked over to the table, sat down, took off his cap, and placed his face in his hands.

Soon, everyone had joined him, and they all put their heads together to come up with a plan to rescue Dawn.

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

"Now that Team Rocket's finally made it to the top,"

"We'll make sure to never ever stop!"

"Stealing Pokemon, out running the cops,"

"This'll sure be a pop!" Meowth finished.

Jessie and James gave him their signature looks. "Pop!?" They asked together.

"Heh-heh, sorry. It was da only ding I could dink of…" They continued with their looks and Meowth lost his temper. "AH!" He cried, slashing their faces with his claws, "Just be glad it rhymed!"

"Aaaahhh!' Jessie exclaimed, pulling out a mirror, "Meowth! What have you done to my gorgeous features!?" She grabbed him and began shaking him vigorously. "You…will…pay…for…this! How…dare…you!!!" She screamed in between shakes.

"Mmmmmmmmm!!" Dawn said angrily, her words muffled by the tape covering her mouth.

"What's that kid?" James asked mockingly, nudging her with his foot. He glanced over his shoulder at Jessie, "Hey Jess, I think the little brat has something to say to us!"

"Oh she does, does she?" Jessie asked in her baby voice, throwing Meowth aside and strolling over. "well let's see what she has to say," She exclaimed, ripping off the blindfold and tape in one swift motion.

Dawn glared up at the three Rocket members viscously, trying as hard as she could not to cry out from the pain of the tape being ripped off. "For your information," she growled, "My name's Dawn! D.A.W.N, Dawn! Not 'that blue haired kid', 'brat', or 'the older twerp's friend', Dawn!"

Team Rocket merely rolled their eyes at her. "Like we care!" they replied smoothly.

"Oh, and I have something else to say," Dawn added, intensifying her glare until it could probably burn holes through metal sheets. "Out of all the tricks and schemes you guys have pulled in the past, this one has to be the stupidest and despicable one yet! It will just fail like all you others have!"

"We'll just see about that," Jessie cooed, winking at her as she replaced the tape, 'Now not another word unless you're spoken to first!"

Dawn was thrown into pitch blackness again as the blindfold was pulled over her eyes. Please, someone help me!!

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

A/N: well, I hope everyone had a great Christmas, I know I did, because I got to see my mom and my older brother who I hadn't seen in over 6 months! So yeah, pretty exciting.

Except for the fact that my grandmother owns a cat, which I am extremely allergic to, so my allergies were driving me crazy the entire time.

Sorry, rambling again, I bet no one hear even cares about my life other than my fics, so review to keep them coming!
