OK, I've done what you've asked for, now for your turn: reviews, please.
Paul gets out into the still hail storm and just continues walking.
"Paul, wait," Dawn shouts.
"Don't you see Dawn-," he says.
He stops and turns around.
"All this was caused by me. If it wasn't for my anger towards you, this wouldn't have happened. If it wasn't for us feuding over something stupid, I'd never had gotten lost in my rage and this brutal hail would've been gone. Dawn, I need to get away from this town. I hate it, and I think the feeling's mutual."
He goes to start walking away from Dawn again until she speaks up.
"You're gonna be cold," she jokes.
"Coming from the girl with a skirt on," he jokes back.
She is too freezing, but doesn't care right now.
"Paul, you need to let me speak when I want to help you. Yes, it's true you were part of the problem, but I'm sure you are part of the solution. So you got a little mad and lost control, so has Ash, and Pikachu, and Chimchar. Heck, I think Brock has, maybe, a few times," she says.
Paul hasn't stopped walking away.
"Just let me help you."
He turns back around.
"I mean it now Dawn, stop-following-me," Paul says for the final time for now.
He starts walking for the final time, not stopping. Dawn looks down in sadness as she walks back in. As the door closes, her body becomes numb from the temperature change, but she can still feel a pain: the one in her heart. As May walks up, Dawn looks up to see that Ash and Brock have left.
"They decided to head back, meet you at the hotel," May said. "What happened?"
Dawn looks up with a sort of "weird" look and tone.
"I think I've just been dumped," she says.
The four girls in the room giggle as Drew attempts to sneak out the broken window and James and Meowth out the back.
"James, Meowth," Dawn says.
They stop in their tracks.
"Drew," May says loudly.
He stops as well.
"James, Meowth," Jessie says.
"Um, gotta, run," the three boys say in unison.
Drew jumps out the window and makes a break for it. James and Meowth jet out the back and sprint the heck out of there.
"Diana, can I get your help," May asks.
"Sure," Diana says.
Those two head of the front door to chase after Drew. This leaves Dawn and Jessie.
"Shall we," Jessie asks.
With a sigh, Dawn says, "Sure."
Those two chase after James and Meowth through the back door.
They eventually see them panting loudly on the ground, face in the snow.
With a sigh, Jessie says, "I should of known."
Dawn goes down on the boys level without her knees touching the snow.
"You were two were there when Paul invaded Team Galactic's base, right," Dawn asks.
Jessie looks down with a look of interest and shock.
"It was a one time, accidental thing," James says looking up.
"You invaded Team Galactic," Jessie asks.
"Like he said, one time accidental thing," Meowth answers again, also looking up.
"And when was this," Jessie asks.
"On our first sabbatical," James says.
Jessie does a cold shoulder routine, looking away.
"Then tell me what happened in your perspective," Dawn says.
(In TR's story you'll find out the flash....ba-ack version of the story) James tells Dawn how they (him and Meowth) took matters in their own hands with both of them sharing a good share of the story. They thought Giovanni was captured by Team Galactic, only to have arrived and found out wrong. When they mention Hunter Jerk (J) Jessie got into it. It ended with them being teleported to some forest where they found Jessie and got back together.
"I see," Dawn says.
"And when I asked you how you've been and why you arrived in white uniforms, which became our staple uniform, all you said 'not much!'," Jessie yells, getting angry.
"It's not like we were going to tell you, we tried to safe the boss only to be rejected," Meowth said, both him and James standing.
Dawn began thinking for a moment, drowning out the, in Paul's words, useless argument. She suddenly snapped and TR looked at her with a "huh".
"I got it, Team Rocket, I know how to get Paul back, but I'm gonna need your help," she says.
"Tell me, are you dumb today, why would we, Team Rocket, the one who's been chasing that Pikachu for near all the series, help a twerp," Jessie asks.
James and Meowth looked at each other then nodded.
"If she's against it-," James says.
"We're in," Meowth finishes.
Jessie does the cold shoulder again.
"Fine, you three want to do something together that's OK, I have a person to find," Jessie says.
"Are you sure about that, it'll involve sneaking in, and if you be good, you might even be able to find valuable Pokemon to, oh, steal," Dawn says, which Jessie stops at.
"Maybe, for the boss," Dawn adds.
Jessie sighs and looks back.
"OK, what is it," Jessie asks.
Dawn smiles, and then a.....
SCENE CHANGE
The four of them are on a ship, now away from the hail where Team Rocket yells out....
"WHAT!?"
"Invade the Galactic base," Jessie asks.
"That's insane," James says.
"Loco," Meowth adds.
"Crazy."
"Out of the mind."
"Nuts."
"OK, so I should've told you in the city, but I really need you for this, not only that, but it isn't that far away, in fact, right over there is the cliff, and there the base," Dawn says.
She acted innocent during that. She now points towards where that stuff exactly is.
"OK, then what's your plan," Meowth asks.
"Um, yeah," Dawn says.
"Your idea for getting inside," Meowth rephrases.
"Hm," says Dawn.
"The scheme you thought off to get in," Meowth again rephrases, getting angrier.
"Ooh, a bird," she says.
Meowth gets on a crate.
"You're going to drag us into the Galactic Base without a plan," he asks.
"I have a plan, I just need you as a distraction. I noticed a flier that flew in, it says that a base meeting is taking place, and while you guys distract it, I'll find Cyrus, putting him in his place," Dawn answers.
"How do you suppose to get him on his own," Jessie asks.
"I did some research, and between 12:30, two more minutes, until 12:45, he comes in to his office alone, no Pokemon, no people. Between that time, nobody else enters," Dawn adds to her plan.
"All this for the gloomy blue guy," James asks.
Dawn blushes a bit.
"It's called love James," Jessie says.
He looks over and sees, yet again, the cold shoulder. They look at each other for a bit, where Meowth just sighs, sitting down.
"Alright, let's do it," he says.
He is surprised when suddenly, a flamethrower appears right before his eyes. He is so panicked that he passes out. Jessie runs over to the driver's cab.
"Are you going to something," she asks.
The driver pops her head out, and it's J.
"You," Jessie says.
"Now," she yells into a com device.
From all sides ships appear out of the ocean, all Hunter J's. Men come out of each one having a pistol, much like J's bracelet. Another group explodes the box Meowth was sitting on, throwing him into the ocean. Everybody has their stone pistol ready as J walks down, pushing Jessie with Dawn and James in the middle, scared.
"Hold your fire until I say so," she yells out. "Now I have you three right where I want you."
"Why would you want us," Dawn asks.
"Some person ordered six little brats out of action, and showed me you five, then the gloomy blue dressed one," J says.
"Told you," James jokes.
"Well, to put it lightly, I need you alive, and the only way I see that possible, is when you're stoned," J adds.
"Stop," a voice says that only J can hear.
Her eyes get wide as two figures pop out of the water: Mundo Kindo and Lucario.
"Sup," Mundo says. "Lucario, Aura Sphere on the ships."
Lucario does so, as each ship goes down to the bottom of the sea. Each man in each ship floats on the top as Lucario does another Aura Sphere to the ones in the ship, sending them out.
"You again," J asks rhetorically.
"Nah, I'm you're mom," Mundo answers sarcastically.
Lucario goes for an Aura Sphere until Salamence Hyper Beams it. Lucario hops up, growls, and launches at Salamence. They duke it out on their own. Mundo takes his cane and hits J's bracelet gun thing off into the ocean. J's major henchman, the one who always reports in, shoots and misses Mundo, bouncing off the cane into Salamence. Mundo returns Lucario and looks back over at the henchman, who James curb stomps, KO'ing him. Mundo looks back at J, and jumps over the edge. Dawn and Team Rocket do the same. The henchman still on the ship do as well, but the KO'ed one. J looks behind and sees, but it's too late. The ship crashes into the side of the cliff. J just barely got off as she's no in the water.
"Sir," the KO'ed henchmen says near J. "Are you alright sir?"
"Yes I'm alright, give me your gun," she says.
He does so as she charges it up and aims. Just as he is about to fire, Meowth comes out of nowhere, scratching it to bits. The Henchman grabs Meowth and keeps him restrained until J knocks him out with a punch.
Dawn and Team Rocket are floating aways.
"Where's Meowth," James asks.
J and the henchman climb on a ladder on a helicopter and fly out with Meowth in the henchman's hands.
"No, Meowth," Jessie yells.
QUICK SCENE CHANGE
Paul is seen in the Seaking Hotel, walking towards his room when he hears voices from the room next to Dawn's. Paul walks over and listens from the crack of the door.
"Unfortunately, we failed to get the brats you asked for, but we got a consolation prize," a voice says, Hunter J's.
"Hey, let me go, I'm not some kind of house pet," a Brooklyn accent voice says.
Paul's eyes get wide.
"Sir, I can't restrain this one," the head henchman says.
A shot is fired and the voice stops.
"It'll have to do, for now. Call back when you get another, then you'll get your money," another deep voice says.
The connection stops and a loud crash is heard.
"Step 3, capture bait, check," the deep voice says.
Paul suddenly sprints away as fast as he can.
Yeah, Chapter 9 up.
