A/N Alright, another chapter! Reason, the one review that made me think in a while. E, or whoever you want to be called, trust me. I may have picked up a story, but I don't write for no reason. I have considered all the plot holes, twists and such. Well, not all. There will be one thing that I oversaw, but trust me when I say this, it will be covered. The story isn't determined by the first chapter, ya know? James is different in this, and if you read the original story, then you might get a glimpse of what is happening and it might answer some of your questions. Before any of you ask, I am choosing not to include GENERATION V of Pokémon, because I am completely unfamiliar with them. I never managed to get Black and White, so I missed out. This is the reason as to why.

Now that that is out of the way, let's get on with this chapter.

After a considerable trek, the duo managed to arrive at a bustling area known as Viridian City. James paused, causing Ash to run directly into him. As Ash fell over, James looked over towards the center of the city.

"Ok. Ash now that we are here your mission will be to steal some Pokémon."

"You don't say…" Ash said, slowly getting up while nursing his backside.

"We won't be stealing Rattata or Pidgey because they are easier than my friend Jessie, so we have to set a higher standard."

Ash looked around the buildings he could see. After a little gazing, he noticed a Pokémon center.

"Wouldn't it be easier to steal Pokémon from the Pokémon center?"

James looked at the boy incredulously. He was thinking the exact same thing, but he wanted Ash to say it. He made a good choice.

"Well the best place would be at the Pokémon Center…"

"But I heard that a man named John Parkersin had some rare Pokémon. He had moved here because the man wanted to live some were that was quiet. He has been bragging the he has a lot of rare Pokémon and he will let anyone see them. I want to check out both places."

James, gobsmacked for a second time, didn't want to show it, so he turned around back towards the city.

"Very good. I didn't know about this John fellow since I was in and around Pallet for a while. How is it you know about him?"

"Oh he was on the news with Professor Oak and was saying anyone that was visiting Viridian should come to his garden and see his Pokémon. I'm surprised that no one has tried to steal his yet."

"Ok. I am tired after that long trek, so I think I will be heading to an Inn. This is your mission, so I suggest you scout out the two areas."

"Do you think making a note of cameras and Trainers in proximity would be a good idea?"

Again, James couldn't believe he had found this boy. His initiative was amazing, and his ideas were even more so.

"Yes, not a bad idea. I was about to tell you to do that myself, but you already have it covered. I will be attending to something so I suspect you should be on your way. I have the hotel room booked. Here is the number." James said, handing Ash a slip of paper.

"Gotchya. I'm out!" Ash said, speeding off towards the Pokémon center.

"Hello Nurse Joy I was wondering if you can look after my Pokémon until I come back please?"

"Of course I can! Just give me your pokeballs and I will look after them for you."

Ash smiled. As he was giving her his Charmander, he thought that this was the best opportunity.

"Umm… could you please tell me were exactly you will be keeping him…he is my very first Pokémon and a present from a friend, I'm just so nervous about leaving him here even if it is for a few hours." Ash said, making sure the worry was deeply etched into his face.

"Oh don't worry. Downstairs we keep all of the pokeballs in a dark room and it's very secure so you don't need to worry about anything happening to your Pokémon while it is in my care."

"Thanks a lot Nurse Joy I feel a lot better now. Please take care." Ash thanked Nurse Joy. As he walked towards the exit, he whispered under his breath.

"Two behind counter, one in right doorway, several more likely in the dark room. Possibility of infiltration, not good."

As he shut the door behind him, he noticed something on the outside of the building, and that instantly rose his hopes up. If he told James about this…

Smiling, Ash then made his way to John Parkersin's house.

'Viridian forest…' Thought Ash.

He had come to where John lived, but he didn't realise it was so close to the forest. He arrived at the front of the house, and swallowed.

'This is it…'

Then he went and knocked on the door. After a few minutes and someone yelling to wait a minute a short, very round man answered the door.

"Why hello, it seems that I have yet another wonderful visitor to see my Pokémon! That is why you are here young man?" The pudgy man clamed in a very happy manner

Ash could only nod, kind of freaked out that the man was just so happy and…. round.

"Yes sir I am here to see your Pokémon my name is Axel and I just started my journey and I want to see as many Pokémon as I can if that is ok with you sir."

"Now no need to call me sir just call me John and you can come on in I will show you to my garden."

They soon made their way to the back of the house. The house itself wasn't that big, just a one story house and a really big garden. Ash noted that there didn't seem to be any security cameras at all. They had quickly made it to the garden and Ash could say he was very surprised by all of the Pokémon here.

"Wow John you have a lot of different Pokémon. Can you tell me all of the types that you have please?"

"Of course I can, I love to tell people the types that I have. Well there are of course the Rattata and Pidgey. I have a few Ekans, Pikachu, Clefairy, a few Eevee, Ditto, some Magikarp, Porygon, and if you're lucky to see them, the two very shy Dratini."

Ash was very surprised by some of the Pokémon John had, of course he made sure to look up info on Pokémon and how many there are and found nearly 493 species.

"Wow John that is very impressive but aren't you worried that something might happen to your Pokémon."

John being very dense didn't think twice about answering Ash.

"Oh I'm not worried, the Pokémon are very territorial and will make sure to scare away any intruders so I have on need to worry."

After talking with John for a few minutes more Ash was able to go into the garden to get a count of the Pokémon and where they resided. Then he had to leave to go pick up his Pokémon. Ash noticed that when he made it back to the hotel James was still gone so he went back out and decided to train with Charmander and get a feel of what he could do. When he made his way to their hotel room a few hours later around 7pm James was there and they both decided they would go over everything they were able to do in the morning.

It was a few minutes after both he and Ash had separated and he made his way down to the police station to meet with a fellow agent. He had made it behind the station a little ways off and meets up with the agent.

"It has been a while Jet do you have good news for me."

"Yes I successfully managed to convert this entire police unit along with the police units in Pewter and Cerulean. Everyone in these units has devoted their loyalty to Team rocket and we are slowly getting our people in high and influential positions."

"Good do you have anything for me from our leader?"

"Yes I do James; he told me to give you this video phone and said once you are done talking with him and your new mission to get rid of it."

James nodded, reaching out and taking the phone with a word of thanks.

"Alright I will call him once I get to a secure and empty area keep up the good work. Make sure that if anyone starts to show that they aren't loyal to Team rocket get rid of them immediately is that under stood?"

"Don't worry James I know what I have to do. I already got rid of the previous Jenny that didn't like our views."

Leaving Jet to his business, James walking a little bit into Viridian forest, and called his leader.

"Hello Sir. I had just finished talking with the agent."

"How is your new recruit?"

"Terrible. He can get stuff done, but he isn't too efficient. With time though, he can be alright."

Little did Giovanni know that James was lying through his teeth.

"Ok. I trust your judgement. Make sure that he knows of the situation between the police units and his directive.

"Is there anything else you need me to do sir"

The leader nodded into the video call.

"Yes there is. In Pewter city, there is the gym leader which happens to be Flint. During Flint's journey he joined our organization and has taken over the gym. You won't have to worry about Pewter city at all. Make sure that he is not slacking off I want to make sure that he is very powerful and does not let many trainers through. The less trainers the better our chances of success. You will get more information of your mission in the next few weeks. That is all."

Giovanni ended the call right there.

After making sure he got rid of the phone he decided to get a map to get through Viridian forest now instead of later.

"Sooner or later my leader you won't be needed anymore." James said with a sneer.

He started to scope out both the Pokémon Center and that "John's" house just to make sure Ash was able to get as much information as he could. He noticed something about John's house and wanted to tell Ash about it as soon as possible. He made his way back to the Hotel just as Ash finished his training with Charmander.

Seeing that they could wait, they both made a silent agreement that everything would be discussed in the morning.

A/N Everyone, that is it for this chapter! Please remember to review!

Of course, I am continuing this, Axelover-burn-baby! I hope I can make it better somehow!

I think I will do my outro on this Fanfiction as well as my other one.

If you review, I will give you my "Charmander…" in the "Pokémon Center…"

Take that as sexually as you like.

~Vires out!
