A/N: Another chapter. Please review.

"Taxi!" Ash hollered, into the streets of Hearthome city. Misty and Ash had just watched Pokémon in Love, a movie Ash had been in when he traveled in Unova. They needed a taxi to get back to their hotel. Finally, a taxi appeared.

"Okay, get in." said the taxi driver, with blue hair. "Where to?" he asked.

"The Karlton-Ritz Hotel on Wish street" Ash replied, somewhat intimidated by the drivers brusqueness.

"Okay, we'll get you there Rocket fast."

The taxi sped along, well, as fast as a taxi can go in a city during rush hour. The driver went right past Wish Street, while Ash and Misty did not notice, as they were busy.

"Mist?"

"What?"

"You look beautiful."

"Ash, you know, flattery will get you nowhere."

"No! I'm serious! Your eyes perfectly match the dress, and your hair is gorgeous."

Their lips locked in a passionate kiss, until they broke away because they needed to breathe.

"Okay, I take that back, flattery will get you anything you want." Misty cooed.

They were jolted from their gazing when the taxi came to a skidding stop on the wet ground. Ash instantly went on offense.

"Driver, what is going on? Why did we stop?" Ash was tense; something didn't seem right about the driver.

"Hehehehe, prepare for trouble!" said a magenta haired woman, who came out from under the seat!

"And Make it double!"

"To protect the world from devastation!"

"To unite all peoples in every nation!"

"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"

"To extend our reach to the stars above!"

"Team Rocket, Blasting off at the speed of light!"

"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"

"Meowth, that's right!"

"Ugh! Team Rocket! What are you guys doing here; you're ruining my date with Misty!" Ash angrily hollered.

"If you want Pikachu, he's not here, so go away!" Misty added.

"Pikachu's not here? What! I thought you twerp took him everywhere?"

"Well not on dates, you idiots!"

"Jessie, remember da plan! Let's get on with it!" Meowth cried.

"Right Meowth", James said, "Engaging aura proof cage!"

"Aura! What's that?" Misty asked, confused.

"Ah, it some sort of special power that I can use when I have Sir Aarons gloves on."

"Yeah, and we stole da gloves from dat castle" Meowth challenged.

"What! How could you?" Ash yelled. Meowth just snickered. The cage slammed down on Ash, and he was trapped.

"Ash! Oh my gosh!" Misty cried with disbelief as yet another cage fell on top of her. Jessie reached through the bars of Ash's cage and handed him the Aaron's gloves. I wonder if I could use these to get out? Ash wondered. He put the gloves on and Misty saw what he was thinking.

"Ash! Didn't you hear them? It an Aura proof cage!" Misty said.

"Oh, yeah. Right. I knew that!" Ash laughed nervously, wondering how to get out.

"Now let's take you to the Team Rocket Base! This is the perfect plan to bring Pikachu right into out arms." James said.

"What? We're just bait so you can get Pikachu?" Ash cried angrily.

"Yup, and that's the plan." Meowth said.

"I hate you." Ash said.

Ignoring the twerps, the Rocket trio radioed for a helicopter to take Ash and Misty.
