Mario Alvarado's Writer Notes:
Okay. I just want to remind everybody of one thing. This fanfic is a challenge from DJ Rodriguez, a fellow Pokémon fanfic writer and a good friend of mine. He wanted any writer to come up with Pokémon romance fics that have Ash paired up with different girls in the Pokémon series, instead of having Ash and Misty get together.
Because of this challenge, I decided to test my luck and write the first EVER Ash/Officer Jenny romance fic on the Internet! I'm a man that likes to see new pairings, so I I'm always a sucker for trying something new. Especially new pairings.
After just putting out the first two parts of this story, I already have a few fans of this fic, just waiting for the next update. And a few of them were big fans of my last Ash/Duplica fic, The Secret Admirer Mess Up. I just want to thank all who have reviewed and giving me kind words of encouragement to continue on with this first EVER Ash/Officer Jenny fic!
For today's chapter, Team Rocket actually has seen the Latias press conference and are making plans for them to capture the Eon Pokémon!! And an unsuspecting Officer will be chosen to transfer the Pokémon to Pallet. What will happen?!!!
An Officer And A Pokémon Master
Chapter 3
Big news doesn't take very long to get around in Kanto and Johto. Just mere minutes after the announcement of a young man from Hoenn caught Latias, one of Hoenn's Legendary Pokémon, everybody was talking about it and now, the people wanted to hear what Ash Ketchum, The Greatest Pokémon Master EVER, had to say. Just about everybody heard the announcement. Everybody, including Team Rocket and its leader, Giovanni. He watched the press conference like any other person, but he was making plans for somebody to get that Pokémon. If that were to happen and the Rocket scientists discover some very important secrets about how to increase a Pokémon's power, they could finally take over the Pokémon League, then the whole world!! After turning off the monitor in his office, he pressed a button on his intercom to call his secretary.
"Call those morons, Jessie and James and tell them to come to my office at once!!" Giovanni said to his secretary,
"Jessie and James are currently in the courtyard training their Pokémon. It will be a few minutes for them to arrive, sir." His secretary answered. Giovanni was about to yell at her, but decided against it. Since the Pokémon League has been more vigilant in fighting Team Rocket, his members have used their personal time and during missions to train their Pokémon to reach much higher levels than before. Giovanni hated the fact that his Rockets were using mission time to train their Pokémon, but he secretly understood that if Team Rocket was to survive and beat the Pokémon League, they must train their Pokémon to get stronger and his members knew that. He went to look at the computer monitor on his desk, reading a message from one of his Rocket liaisons that is with Hoenn's ecological team, Team Magma. One of the Magmas was dressed up as a reporter and was at the press conference with newly taken pictures of the Latias. His thoughts on how to get the Pokémon when the Pokémon League least expect it was interrupted when his intercom buzzed.
"Giovanni. Jessie, James and Meowth have arrived." His secretary said via the intercom,
"Let them in." Giovanni ordered. Moments later, the big doors of his office opened slightly and two people and a Pokémon entered the office. "Taking every moment to raise the levels of your Pokémon, are you?" The Rocket boss asked, already knowing the answer his two not so worthless members had.
"Um, yes sir. Sorry, sir." James apologized, afraid to get punished.
"There is no need to apologize, James. I have just learned from Rocket liaison with Team Magma that some trainer from Hoenn just caught a very rare Pokémon." Giovanni said,
"A rare Pokémon from Hoenn, sir? James and I have heard rumors on the way here that some kid from Hoenn caught a legendary Pokémon." Jessie said,
"That is true, Jessie. And I think you would try to want to steal this Pokémon if you saw it for yourself." Giovanni said as he turned on one of the monitors on his very big desk. On the screen, was the press conference that was recorded and the releasing of the Eon Pokémon from Hoenn, the sleek, red and very cute looking Latias. Immediately, Jessie went into cute mode after looking at Latias.
"That Pokémon is so cute!! I want it!!!" Jessie said excitedly, causing James and Meowth to sweatdrop.
"Boss, if this Pokémon is a Legendary, I bet they'll have a ton of cops protecting it to the Oak Laboratory in Pallet." Meowth said, proving a valid point.
"Maybe so, Meowth. I have a feeling that those rent a cops will send in their most inexperienced officer to transfer the Pokémon to the lab from Goldenrod City, via the Saffron City Magnet train and to the lab in Pallet. To them, it will be a piece of cake. A very simple task. They will just send the officer dressed in normal clothes and mesh in with the people. Only a moron who's totally inept at the job can screw it up. Even the three of you morons can attest to that." Giovanni said. The three Rockets didn't say a word for a minute. Giovanni could tell what they were thinking.
"There is still that Ketchum factor, boss. He has made it his mission to take us all out since he became The Greatest." James said,
"Yes, I am worried about Ketchum. Since he has become the Pokémon Master, the team has been reeling in many defeats. We have lost many members to the police. So listen up. Get that rare Pokémon!! If Ketchum comes by and defeats you again and manages to get that Pokémon to Oak's Lab in Pallet, I'll have Butch and Cassidy try their luck. They should be back anytime today from the training expedition I ordered them to undergo. Team Rocket's ticket to beating Ash Ketchum is to train our Pokémon better than him. If you fail, you two morons are the next to undergo the expedition. Either way, I want that Pokémon!!" Giovanni ordered sternly,
"Yes, sir." The trio answered,
"I've waited a long time to get my hands on Ketchum's rat!! I'm going to Fury swipe Pikachu real good!!" Meowth said as he extended his now powerful and sharp claws.
"Very well, then. You three will await at your quarters until we get news on the time and day the Pokémon will be transferred. I have a spy in the Goldenrod City area whose an expert in getting top secret information. Once those cops finalize the route and their plans, we'll know it as well. Then, you three will make the move." Giovanni said as he turned around to look outside the massive window inside his office, overlooking the treetops that hide Team Rocket's HQ deep in the woods of the area between Johto and Kanto. Jessie, James and Meowth took their leave and quietly left the boss to make his plans.

Back in Goldenrod City, Ash Ketchum arrived and was getting ready to give out a few statements about the fact that a kid from Hoenn actually caught a Legendary Pokémon!!! The drive to Saffron City and the Magnet Train ride to Goldenrod gave Ash some time to think about what he wanted to say. He was just jealous of Eddie, for catching Latias!!! And Gary knew it, but he wasn't rubbing it in his face. Even though the press conference was over 2 hours ago, a lot of reporters wanted to hear what Ash had to say. Ash straighten out the collar of his dress shirt, he walked up to the podium as a few photographers took pictures of The Greatest Pokémon Master EVER!!!
"Mr. Ketchum. What are your thoughts about the young man from Hoenn who has caught a Legendary Pokémon?" One reporter asked as soon as Ash walked up to the podium. It didn't take long for Ash to have an answer.
"I'm jealous of him!! I mean, through all my travels to become the Greatest Pokémon Master Ever, I never had a chance to catch a Legendary!! Now, this kid whose younger than me does the only thing I couldn't do. I wonder if he's interested in trading?" Ash said and a few people started to laugh a bit,
"What benefits to Pokémon research will Professor Samuel Oak learn from examining Latias?" Another reporter asked,
"That remains to be seen. I haven't talked with my #2 about this. I did hear that Prof. Oak is looking forward to seeing and doing a few small tests. We learned a few vital secrets about Pokémon since Professor Elm did a few studies while he nursed Raikou back to health after a Team Rocket attack last year. I think the small tests Prof. Oak will do with Latias will prove valuable." Ash answered,
"Are you at all worried that Team Rocket might try to steal Latias?" A third reporter asked,
"Team Rocket will try anything to get an advantage against me and the Pokémon League. I wouldn't be surprised if they made a move to get Latias. If I weren't the Greatest Pokémon Master EVER, I would volunteer to bring the Eon Pokémon to Prof Oak's lab in Pallet. Since I have that title and Lance gets real worried about me taking on Team Rocket alone, I'll let the police handle this." Ash answered. Then suddenly, Gary walked up to Ash with a cell phone in hand.
"Um, Ash. Delia wants to talk to you." Gary said quietly as he covered the mike with his free hand,
"Mom? What does she want?" Ash asked,
"You got me. She said it was important." Gary said as he handed Ash the phone and backed away. He pressed the talk button and put the phone to his ear.
"Yeah, Mom? I told you, I'm talking to the press in Goldenrod City. I said I'll be back at 7 tonight. What? You want me to pick up some Moomoo Milk on the way home? And a few treats for Mimey? You're making dinner right now and can't get away? Okay, I'll get them. Yes, I will. I'll be home in less than an hour, okay? I love you too. Bye." Ash said as he ended the call,
"Awww..." the reporters said and Ash glared at them, just begging them to do that again. He really didn't like it when people make a big deal about his sensitive side. This meeting was over and Ash had some errands to do for Mommy Dearest.
"That will be all." Ash said and he walked off the stage, headed for the exit of the building and headed to the big market area in Goldenrod to pick up some fresh Moomoo Milk and the Pokémon treats for Mr. Mime.
Become the Greatest Pokémon Master EVER and you come back home for a month, only to have Mom use me as her errand boy. But, it is nice to be home with her and Mimey. I bet I'll be glad to get back to reading those Gym Leader reports and having Lance bitch and moan about everything. Ash thought to himself as he went straight for the underground path and to Goldenrod's popular shops. Before Ash arrived at the stairs, his cell phone that Gary gave him went off.
"Ash here." He answered. It was Gary on the line once again.
"Ash, It's Gary. I just met with one of Goldenrod City's high-ranking police officials. She told me that they are transferring Latias to Gramps' Lab tomorrow at 10 A.M. from the Goldenrod Pokémon Center and the planned route." Gary said,
"They made a plan of action already? That was quick." Ash said,
"Sure was. They know that Gramps is just itching to take a look at Latias. As for who's transporting the Pokémon, a police officer from Celadon City volunteered to transfer the Pokémon. The officer won't be dressed in a normal uniform, just in plain old civilian clothes." Gary said,
"Probably to throw off Team Rocket. What about the route?" Ash asked,
"It will start at the Goldenrod City Pokémon Center and the officer will go on the Magnet Train to Saffron City. There, the officer will head to Vermilion City and take the Diglett Tunnel at the edge of Vermilion to the other end of the tunnel at the city limits of Pewter City. Then, it's all the way through Viridian City and the last stop will be at Gramps' Lab in Pallet. Overall, the Pokémon will get there before sundown tomorrow." Gary answered,
"I still have my worries, Gary. I have a feeling that Team Rocket might do something." Ash said,
"I know, Ash. But like you said, let the police do their job. Besides, Celadon City police officers are the best in Kanto and Johto. They can handle just about anything. Well, I'm off on a hot date here in Goldenrod, Ashy boy. I'll let you get back to being Delia's delivery boy." Gary said,
"Come on, Gary. Just who is this girl you're dating?" Ash asked,
"I will tell you this, Ash. She's a person you battled against years ago and beaten, she's has some of the best grades at Pokémon Tech and is really hot! Got to go, Ash!!" Gary said as he ended the call,
"Pokémon Tech? I'll find out who you're talking about, Gary. Just leave it to Ash Ketchum." Ash said as he placed his phone back in its place on Ash's belt and headed for the underground shopping area. Gary on the other hand, put away his cell phone as he waited for his date to arrive at the place they were to meet. Gary checked the time on his watch when he swore that somebody was near him.
"Oh, there you are Gary. I was worried that you wouldn't show up tonight." A female voice said from behind him. Gary turned around and looked into the eyes of his very beautiful girlfriend from Pokémon Tech. Gary's girlfriend is none other than Giselle. She and Gary met during the competition where Ash was fighting for the right to become a Pokémon Master. By that time, Ash and Gary were friends again and he bumped into Giselle, who was about to start her final year at Pokémon Tech. The one thing that Gary thought when he first met her was that she was very beautiful. Her brown was long and perfect, her hazel eyes always made him blush when she looked at him and she had a supermodel like body, but that wasn't the real reason why Gary was attracted to her. Secretly, Gary has a thing for smart and beautiful brunettes. After Ash's win, the two started talking and found out that they had a lot of things in common and Gary asked Giselle out on a date the same day. One thing that surprised Gary about Giselle was the fact that he usually spends a lot of money when he's out with her on dates.
"So, I see you're all dressed up for tonight." Giselle said as she watched Gary try to stop himself from blushing. She giggled slightly as Gary finally regained his composure.
"I just finished up something with the Pokémon League earlier. I didn't have time to run home and change into something else." Gary said as he straighten out his tie. He then noticed that Giselle was still wearing her Pokémon Tech uniform, which was a blouse combined with a brown miniskirt.
"Well, I just got back from the tech's afternoon class, so I didn't have time to change into something neither. So, don't feel bad. So, what do you have planed for us tonight?" Giselle asked as she got close to Gary as he took her into his arms he kissed her on the lips. They kissed for a minute or two before Gary broke away from her.
"I managed to get reservations at this great restaurant in the heart of the city. It set me back about a few hundred big ones." Gary said as he took one of his arms away from her and showed her the reservation to a fancy restaurant in the city that he placed in his suit's pocket,
"You're too good to me, Gary. Am I going to expect this from you every time we go out?" Giselle asked,
"Well, Giselle... I am the assistant to the Greatest Pokémon Master EVER. So, you might as well get used to it. But, I think you don't mind at all." Gary said as he kissed her again. The two lovebirds continued kissing for a few seconds more before Giselle broke away from Gary's embrace.
"Actually, Gary. To be your girlfriend is all I ever want. Now, let's have fun and enjoy ourselves tonight!!" Giselle said as she placed her arm around Gary's and placed her head on his shoulder as the two walked off into the night.

The next day arrived in Goldenrod City and many people were about to start the day, but one person in particular wasn't so excited. This person would be the one to carry the Legendary Pokémon to Prof. Oak's Laboratory in Pallet. The person selected to this mission was Officer Jenny. Not just any Officer Jenny at that. This Jenny was 18 years old and a pure police rookie. In fact, she is the same Jenny whom Ash met 4 days ago during a Team Rocket robbery attempt in Celadon City. Already, she has a reputation of being the worst cop in the history of the Celadon City PD.
"Ohhh... why me? Why did Mom sign me up to this job? I thought I was heading to the academy right now." Jenny said as she just sat inside the Pokémon Center lounge to await being handed the Poké Ball with Latias in it. She was finished packing to go back to the police academy when her Mother heard about this Pokémon that was going to Prof. Oak's lab, so she signed her completely inept daughter to the job. She said that this will get her back on the force in no time.
"Here is the legendary Pokémon, officer. Please don't let it out of its Poké Ball at all and bring it straight to Professor Oak's Laboratory in Pallet Town." One of the Pokémon League officials said as he handed Jenny the Luxury Ball with Latias inside it. She took it and placed it inside her backpack that she was carrying.
"I understand, sir. I'll make sure this Pokémon gets there." Jenny said confidently. Although she appeared to be confident outside, inside she was scared straight, just praying that she didn't foul up this mission or have Team Rocket try to steal the Pokémon. The League official told her a few more things, but she didn't hear it very much, because she was still thinking about all the bad things that might happen today. Then, the official wished her luck and it was time for her to go. Jenny exited the Pokémon Center and headed for the Magnet Train to Saffron City. Since she couldn't wear her normal police uniform, Jenny was wearing a black t-shirt, paired blue jeans that had a hole in the knee area to show off her knees, a regular red baseball cap covering her blue hair, she carried a green backpack with the Poké Ball inside of it, well hidden inside the pack and a pair of black sneakers finished off her outfit. During the ride on the Magnet train, Jenny kept thinking about the inevitable meeting with Team Rocket.
Something is going to happen to me. And I don't like it. I know Team Rocket is going to try something. Can't they just leave us alone? Jenny thought to herself as she looked at the scenery speeding by. Her fears would come true, because in the train with her, were Jessie, James and Meowth. They for the information from the secret Rocket informer and told Giovanni about the route the officer was taking and who's carrying the Latias.
"The boss was right. The cops did send in a officer who's totally inept and worse than us." James said as he and his two partners watched Jenny every now and then. Jessie and James were wearing normal street clothes instead of their usual Rocket uniforms. Meowth was stowed away inside a duffel bag that James was carrying.
"When should we make our move, James?" Jessie asked as she was more interested in straightening her business suit skirt instead of watching the young officer,
"Not now, Jess. We'll make the jump inside the Diglett Tunnel. The boss said that will be the best shot to snatch the Pokémon that the boss wants." James answered,
"And the tunnel hasn't been lit up fully yet. All I have to do is cut the power while you two ambush her and steal that backpack. That is where the Pokémon is said to be inside." Meowth added, telling Jessie the details of the mission.
"I have a feeling this will work, you two. Once we get that Pokémon, Team Rocket will be back in force." Jessie said and her two counterparts agreed with her. As Jessie and James continued to watch the young Officer Jenny, they didn't notice a young man Jenny's age, watching them from the second car behind them. He seemed to know what they were planning.
Not this time, Giovanni. There is no way you're getting that Latias for your own evil purposes. I'll make sure of that. The young man said to himself as he continued to watch the two Rockets in disguise from his seat in the Magnet Train car.
End Of Chapter 3
Seems like Team Rocket is going to try to steal Latias after all. That informer inside the League must be that good. Well, now that the young Officer Jenny whom we met earlier in the fic is the one taking the Latias to pallet, against her wishes, might be in for some danger when she gets to the Diglett Tunnel. And I wonder if Jessie and James are aware of that young man in the car behind them. He seems to know what is going on also.
Next time, Team Rocket blasts off into action in an attempt to get Latias from Jenny!! Can anybody save her and Latias?!!!
Also, if you're all wonder where are Brock, Misty and Pikachu? Don't worry. They will make an appearance soon. I promise!
Lastly, I just had to add Giselle from Pokémon tech in this story and make her Gary's girlfriend. I honestly think Gary and Giselle make a great couple. I might actually write a fic with those two one day. Okay, have a question, comment or anything? Send them all to Hornet19us@Yahoo.com.
