Chapter 2

Looking out into the sky now, I was finally in the air. The problem was, that stupid little he-she engineer had to help em figure out how the hell I was supposed to get the thing in the sky. Another problem, Giovanni hearing how I didn't know how to fly the airship, sent the he-she along with me! I internally groaned. Next time I wasn't going to say anything and just figure out my damn self.

So here I was with the he-she Proton and Meowth, the rest were grunts, surprisingly not dressed in team rocket garb but in cargo pants, with a grey undershirt and red vest, all looked sturdy, but still there was something that just didn't seem right. My old crew had known what to do, the bumbling fools, they had no idea on how to be heartless and not care about the pokémon and or people now. Getting the job done without feelings was something that plays with you mind, that'd happened a few times when I'd first started, but now, there was nothing when I captured a Pokémon and sold it to a client.

"Have a problem?" Meowth asked, his eyes trained forward into the sky yet.

"No…just some worries that'll be solved by the end of the first capture." I said.

"What is the first capture?" A voice from behind me chair said. I rolled my eyes and turned around again seeing the he-she standing there, his arms crossed. Great, at least I was going to able to show this pipsqueak that I wasn't just some powerful person without any brains.

"We go after the one who has the most power to stop us. The one that's the biggest pain in Tem Rocket's side. The only problem we need to find him, and that might be a difficult problem in itself."

"Well who?" Meowth asked, seeming not to get it while Proton just smiled.

"She's going after Lance you dimwitted cat. The only powerful G-Man and Pokémon League member combined that could possibility take us down in one fellow swoop. Especially with that Dragonite of his." I rolled my eyes at him and then glared annoyed.

"No, I'm going after the one whose been even a more pain in Team Rocket's side, and he's in Viridian City, training at the gym. He also has connections to Pokémon Researchers, and there's a little bit of my personal vendetta against him." I turned around again bringing up the map of Johto and Kanto. "We're here, an hour away from Viridian, where we will get that pesky Gary Oak who's now taken over the Viridian Gym, along with so some side work for his grandfather, the famous Professor Oak. We get him, we might be able to get the Pokémon Researchers not to aid in the help of the Pokémon League." I explained. Turning back around Proton's eyes held a little amazement and understanding.

"Hmm...I never thought about that. Some of the researchers out there have powerful pokémon that actually might have quite an effect on Team Rocket." Proton mumbled under breath. "Plus they'll do anything the great Professor says. He is after all the president of the InterNational Researcher's Organization, otherwise known as the INRO." I raised my eyebrows in surprise at the information the Proton was spilling, but pulled myself together right after . I had never heard about the INRO, maybe Proton was more valuable that I thought. I'd have to keep an eye on him.

"Just watch out for his, Umbreon, Electivire, the Blastoise, and think there's a strong Acranine maybe. It's been to long since I've seen that twerp's pokémon." Meowth said.

"How do you know his pokémon?!" Proton and I asked in unison which sent me glaring towards him. Meowth looked between us for a second and then raised his hands defending himself.

"I know about all the Pokémon League members pokémon, names and type advantages. Well not in Unova so much, Jesse, James and I were on special assignment there, but in Sinnoh, Hoenn, Kanto and Johto, I know quite a bit about all of the gym leaders. Following the twerp around actually came in handy." Meowth said, crossing his arms.

"Do you as lot about the Elite Four in each region though, they've been changed here in Johto and Kanto, and the ones in Sinnoh are really well known, there is Hoenn however. They like to keep things secretive for the most part, do know anything about the upper ranking system there?" Proton asked.

"Elite four huh? Let me think about it." Meowth tapped his foot for a bit, then snapped it paws. "That's it, Drake he's part of the Elite Four and he specializes in Dragon types there was also a Steven Stone, but from I've heard lately, there was an incident and he resigned from the Champion position and I think it was given to Wallace that Top Coordinator, he has an extremely powerful Milotic that knows twister and moves like water even on land. The rest there, hmm..., I don't know a name or even a type much less pokémon to look out for." Meowth said, disappointment ebbing into his voice.

I turned my gaze back to Proton, "Do we have information on the leaders and the G-men on files?" I asked. He nodded then went over to a keyboard then started typing and brought up files from the computer system to the screen in front of me.

"Meowth do you recognize all of these names on here?" I asked turning my attention to the cat.

"There's only a few I don't know. Forrest, Janine, Will, Karen, Watt, Sidney, Phoebe, and Glacia are all unfamiliar to me, but there's a few names on here that I don't see that should be."

"This list is of all current members of the Pokémon League though." Proton said. "Aren't we only supposed to get the current members?"

"What do you mean by, should be on there?" I asked.

"There are retired Pokémon League members out there, that I've met and they were powerful in their own right. Two former elites, Lorelei and Agatha, there's also a few gym leaders like Wattson from Hoenn who can pack an electrical punch to the equation. Steven Stone also isn't on the list and he was a former champion, he could destroy this operation with just one pokémon of his. He made us blast off once, but that was only because we met him once. His aggron can pack quite a powerful hyper beam."

I turned attention back to the screen. "Proton, send a message to Giovanni and ask him about the names Meowth gave us. We might have to add them to the list." Searching down the list of names now though, there were a few I wanted to check out. If Meowth didn't have knowledge of them, it would be the smartest idea to check them out before hand. "Meowth, who would you guess are the ones from Hoenn's Elite..." I was interrupted by a red flashing light and then the screen turned to the map, the computerized voice telling me were near Viridian City.

"Looks like we'll see how our crew going to react to our first capture, I said, spinning out of the chair and heading through the automated door to start my revenge on the world, and start to build up my reputation as bounty hunter of pokémon and humans.
