All Team Rocket mishaps will be in parts. There are three(four?) more Rocket arcs after this, and all of them have pretty exciting climaxes. Hope they don't bore you to tears.

Part 16
Rocket Burn, Part 1
Silver approaches them, but just butts shoulders with Ethan on his way out. Ethan sneers as he leaves, but then heads to the counter. Handing his pokemon to Nurse Joy, she asks his name and gives him a package.
"This just arrived from a city called Lilycove in Hoenn," she says lightly.
Ethan sits down and opens the package. Inside, he unwraps some newspaper and finds a small, metallic object.
"Hey! Is that the Metal Coat Brandon won out of the Bug Contest?" Lyra asked, sitting next to Ethan. Ethan nods and takes out a note.
"Hey, Ethan. Well, we arrived in Lilycove just this morning. I used Quick Mail to get this to you really quick, so yeah. I won't be needing it since you got Scyther. Oh, and Pinsir is loving it here. How's Scyther? Well, I still don't know how we got switched...don't make a big deal over it though, okay?" Lyra snickered and Ethan scoffed at her. "Oh hey, I also packed a PokeGear upgrade for Lyra. Actually May did. It can help out with her contest strategies, and how effectively some things will work, according to May. I also found out that we may be able to come back, so when I see you again, you'd better be strong. Well, hope your gym journey goes well. Take Care! ~Brendan."
Ethan smiled and pocketed the Metal Coat and handed Lyra the PokeGear upgrade. She slipped it into the PokeGear and checked it out.
Ethan looked up the Metal Coat in the pokedex and found that it evolved Scyther into Scizor.
"Oh cool! Scyther can evolved with the Metal Coat!"
Suddenly, a man with khaki pants, black shirt, and purple and red scarf rushed in.
"Nurse Joy! We're having trouble at the Burned Tower! Eusine is there, trying to protect it! We need assistance!" He bellowed. Then, he burst out.
Ethan and Lyra stood up quickly. Nurse Joy was out of the Center before they could speak, so the duo followed her.
Outside, they followed the man and Nurse Joy to a medium height tower with its top burned off.
When Ethan and Lyra get inside, Morty questions them on who they are.
"Hm? I've never seen you in this city before. My name's Morty. What's yours?" He says hastily.
Ethan and Lyra introduce themselves. Suddenly, an explosion noise erupts from further ahead of them. Proton of Team Rocket falls through the ceiling and lands on the ground, a Golbat at his side. Suddenly, a woman, with bright red hair and a weird hair style, follows him and lands, an Ekans at her side.
"What? More people!?" They hurry off and jump down a ladder. Another man, with dark brown hair, appears on that floor as well, an Electrode following him.
"Morty!" He said, signaling to the man with orange hair and the scarf. "Come on! I need your help...Who are those kids? Nevermind, just come on!" The man, who's name was apparently Morty, rushed towards the other one. Nurse Joy ushers us to follow.
"Just don't do anything reckless!"
Down the ladder, three statues sit on the ground.
Whence down there, everyone takes note of Proton taking something out of his pocket. It is a triple colored device: blue, red, and yellow.
"Okay, Relic Orb! Do your stuff!" He tosses it between the three statues. It shakes and three slots fall open on all sides. It shines and the statues react as well. Proton grins. "Well, Ariana, we only need to stall for five minutes. Then we can capture these three. Come on!"
Morty sends out a Haunter and sneers. "No! You're not taking the Legendary Beasts!"
Ethan cocks his head. "The what beasts?"
"Enough talk! Ekans, use Sludge Bomb!" Ariana shouts. Her snake pokemon releases shots of sludge at them.
"Cyndaquil, go!"
"Come on out, Venomoth!"
Lyra and Ethan's pokemon come out. Cyndaquil use Ember on the Sludge Bomb and stops them.
"Haunter, use Confuse Ray!" Morty orders. The ghost pokemon releases a wave of power that confuses the Golbat and Ekans.
"Golbat, snap out of it! Use Air Cutter!" Golbat stops being confused and releases blades of wind at them all.
"Venomoth! Use Silver Wind!" Lyra orders.
"Electrode, Sonic Boom!" Eusine also orders.
The two pokemon release their attacks and collide with the Air Cutter. Golbat suddenly appears from the smoke and uses Wing Attack on Venomoth, throwing it into Lyra's arms.
She recalls Venomoth and sends out Marill.
"Cyndaquil, use Tackle on Ekans!" Ethan's Cyndaquil speeds ahead and bombs into Ekans, throwing it back.
"Ekans, retaliate with Glare!" Ekans stares into Cyndaquil's eyes, causing it to paralyze.
Suddenly, they hear movement from the area the statues were in.
One of the pokemon stand up. It's fur was brown and it had a white streak of fur running down its back.
"Entei! Ha, they're starting to awaken!" Proton analyzes. "Ariana, I'm going to handle capturing them!"
Ariana nods. "You do that! Go, Murkrow!" She sends out the same type of flying pokemon Silver has. "Murkrow, use Dark Pulse!" The Murkrow releases rings imbued with dark energy that plow into Haunter, fainting it.
"No! Return. Thanks for confusing them before! Go, Gengar!" Morty sends out a bigger ghost pokemon.
Eusine grunts and takes off around Ariana.
"No you don't! Ekans use Glare!" Ekans was still confused and didn't attack Eusine. "Gah!
Cyndaquil started to move again, shaking off the paralysis.
"Cyndaquil, use Ember!" Cyndaquil shoots the embers at Ekans, throwing it off balance.
"Marill, use Water Gun!" Lyra's Marill finishes off Ekans, and Ariana recalls it.
"Gengar, use Poison Jab!" Gengar speeds forward and slams the Murkrow with a purple hand. It faints and Ariana recalls it.
"Hm, I can't believe I, an Admin, let myself be beaten. But the lower in command Proton will handle things up there!"
Suddenly, a second pokemon awakens, this one lightning yellow. It roars and Proton grins wickedly.
