I think it's the longest chapter I've written, well I've defiantly had the most fun writing this one ^_^

"Now the person you need to see is Eusine, he has dedicated his life to the legendary dogs. He lives in Eucrutak City. If anyone should know about this, it's him," said Prof. Oak.

Ash nodded.

"Thanks for all your help Professor, we really appreciate it," said Ash," C'mon guys we better get moving."

"Ash," said Misty, they were on their way to Saffron city to catch the Magnet train to Goldenrod, which was only 15 minutes away from Eucrutak City. Misty and Brock were walking behind Ash. Pikachu was walking next to Ash.

"Yeah?" said Ash, not even bothering to turn around.

"So when we get to Eucrutak City and tell Eusine about this all.."

"Yeah?" said Ash again impatiently.

"What are we going to do about it?" she asked," I mean we can't just go running around trying to stop Team Rocket without a plan."

"She's right Ash," said Brock," I mean something could happen."

Ash stopped walking and turned around.

"Look, guys," he started but was cut out by a high pitched scream.

"Looks like someone's in trouble!" said Brock.

"Pika, Pika!" said Pikachu pointing in the direction where it came from.

"Let's go!" said Misty.

They ran off the path and followed the scream. They found themselves deep in a forest. The trees were so thick and tall that you couldn't see the sky and it felt like night-time.

"Great," said Ash," Not only have we lost the scream, but now we're lost."

Before anyone could say anything, the scream returned, but this time it was closer.

They followed it quickly and soon found themselves in an open clearing. There were no trees and you could see the clear, blue sky. There were various tree stumps spread out across the clearing. Sitting on one of the stumps was a small girl. She was in a yellow dress and on the ground next to her was a basket full of berries. She had black hair in two ponytails. Her hands were cupping her face, she was crying.

The gang ran up to her, Pikachu was in front.

"Hey, what's wrong?" asked Brock, kneeling down next to her so he was at her height.

"I-sniff-I.." started the girl, but before she could say more she started crying again.

"Oh boy," said Ash scratching his head.

Misty also kneeled down next to the girl," What's your name?"

"S-sniff.. Sunny," she managed, she smiled at Misty, then again burst into tears.

Ash covered his ears," Please, stop crying."

"Ash!" said Misty looking up at him, she then turned her gaze back at the little girl," Why are you crying Sunny?"

"My.. my best friend Hoppy was stolen! And now I'm lost!" she said looking down at her feet.

"Did you see who took Hoppy?" asked Brock.

Sunny nodded. "Yep, two people with a big R on their shirts One was a girl, with long red hair and one was a boy with short blue hair.. And.. And a weird, talking Meowth."

"Team Rocket!" They shouted.

(Dum Dum Dummmmm, if ya didn't see that one coming.. Should I be worried? jj!)

Not very far away, the three villains were laughing.

"Alright now lets open the bag and see what pokemon we took!" said a the girl with long, red hair.

"I bet it'll be a Chikorita!" said the boy with short, blue hair, he was holding a bag which constantly was moving.

"Well whatever it is, it must be pretty rare, I mean, how many flying pokemon with a big piece of grass on it's head can we think of?" asked a small, cat-like pokemon. It's fur was a creamy white and on it's forehead shone a gold.. Amulet.

"Wait!" said the boy with the short, blue hair, " I can think of one.. Weepingbell!"

"Oh stop being a know-it-all and just open the bag!" snapped the girl with red hair at the boy with blue hair.

"Sorry, Jesse, I'll do whatever you say," he replied looking down at the ground.

"So you should James, after all," she said," I am the most beautiful in this group, which makes me the leader!" she winked.

"Whatever," said the cat-like pokemon," I have the brains, which makes me the leader? I mean, how many talking pokemon do you know?"

"Shut up Meowth!" shouted James at the cat-like pokemon.

"Yeah, well what do you do which makes you even worthy to be in this group?" asked Meowth smirking.

"I'm the courageous and brave one!" said James, striking a weird pose," Therefore I should be the leader."

"I've done way more then you have ever done!" shouted Jesse.

"Oh yeah, well I'm the one that makes up all the plans.. Well most of them anyway!" shouted back James.

"And they're the ones that never work!" shouted Meowth.

Before they could argue further, they were interrupted by a very familiar voice.

"Hold it right there Team Rocket"

The Rockets turned around to see Ash, Brock and Misty, who they absolutely hated. Standing next to Ash was Pikachu. Team Rocket had attempted to catch Pikachu countless times, yet never have they succeeded. Standing behind them all was the small girl who they stole the pokemon off.

"Why should we?" asked James.

"Because you stole Hoppy and I want him back!" shouted Sunny.

"..Hoppy?" said Jesse nervously," James.. Open the bag."

James opened the bag and out flew a small, pink pokemon with a large leaf on its head.

"Hoppy," it said slightly dazed.

"Hoppy!" shouted Sunny with joy.

The small, pink pokemon flew over to Sunny and was engulfed in a big, hug.

"Never do that to me again Hoppy!" she whispered.

"Pika!" said Pikachu stepping forward, sparks were flying out of it's cheeks.

"You said it Pikachu!" said Ash nodding.

"Meowth! What did you think you were doing!?" shouted Jess," What was with the 'Hey, there's a rare pokemon over there, lets get it!', huh what was with that?!"

"Me? It was all James, after all," said Meowth," He's the one that makes up all the plans!" He smirked.

"Well you people should be thanking me!" shouted James.

"Pikachu, get ready for a thunder-shock attack," said Ash.

Pikachu nodded and it's cheeks started glowing and sparking with electricity.

"Because if it wasn't for me, we would be handing in a normal, boring pokemon to the boss, and he wouldn't be a happy chappie." (XD I love that saying!)

"The boss!?" shouted Misty and Brock.

"Wait Pikachu, stop!" said Ash.

Team Rocket looked at them.

"When you're talking about the boss, are you talking about the leader of Team Rocket?" asked Ash, cautiously.

"Well of course we are!" said Jesse, she stuck her nose up in the air," In fact we are very good friends with him!"

"We are?" asked James confused, he suddenly saw where this was going," Yes, we are!"

"What's it to you?" asked Meowth eyeing Ash.

"That's none of your business!" Ash answered.

"Well, are you involved in catching Ho-Oh?" asked Misty.

The three Rockets looked at each other.

"..Ho-Oh?" said Jesse, what's that?"

"Is that a rare pokemon?" asked James.

"Well, if it is," said Meowth," The boss is always trying to catch rare pokemon."

"Do you know where he is?" asked Brock enthusiastically.

The three Rockets again looked at each other and laughed quietly.

"What's in it for us if we tell you?" asked James.

"How about Pikachu?" asked Jesse.

Ash looked at Pikachu, but before he could say something Misty spoke for him.

"The last thing your boss would want is a puny, little Pikachu. By the sounds of things he would want something much bigger, and rarer."

"..That's true," said Meowth.

"Tell you what," said Brock smiling," You help us find him, and we'll help you catch a decent pokemon."

Jesse, James and Meowth all turned around and started whispering to each other. Finally, Jesse walked up to Ash and held out her hand," It's a deal twerp."

They shook hands.

!What are they thinking, agreeing on a deal with Team Rocket! They're probably gonna betray Ash and the others and.. and... Hey, I'm the author... Whatever I say goes.. So that means that if I want this story to involve people being transported to Candy World.. It can!

Well, there's one thing left to say: TO BE CONTINUED.... (Running A Bit Short On Ideas, So If You Have An Idea As What Could Happen Next, Please Message Or Tell Me In A Review!)
