I was taken to the hospital, accompanied by Misty. Brock and Ash took Azura to the Pokémon centre.
After a long needed rest, I felt better, and in less pain. I stood outside the Pokémon Centre holding Azura in my arms, as I was invited to join Ash and the others on their adventure, but I had to decline, telling them that I was on my own quest, to find my belongings. They insisted, but no.
Besides, I'd rather travel alone as I have for the last six years on my Pokémon adventure.
I waved goodbye as the trio left to continue their journey.
"Well.." I scanned the area. "Lavender Town.. I wonder what this town has in store."
"Azu azurill!" She shook her head.
"Right.. I need to find my other Pokémon and my bag. I shouldn't get distracted.."
Off I went, searching for a way out of this town.
"Dammit. I passed this place before. I just went in a complete circle!" I huffed. I turned around, ready to walk in another direction, when I spotted someone walking in my direction, with a sour look on his face. "You've got to be kidding me." I groaned, recognising him instantly. It was James. I quickly glanced around for Jessie and Meowth, but they were no where in sight. I turned my attention back to James, he wasn't looking where he was walking, instead he was staring across the street. I followed his eye sight, and saw that he was staring at some food stands. It made my stomach growl. 'If only I had money..' I thought. I sighed, and suddenly James walked straight into me.
"Ah!"
"Hey!" I hissed.
"Watch where you're going!" He shouted.
"You watch where you're going!"
"Wait! You're that twerp from- AH!"
I grabbed his ear and pulled him straight down to me, so I was glaring straight into his eyes. "You stole that boat from that island, didn't you?! You ditched me there and left me to take punishment for your actions! How could you do that!? And now you're the one who took my luggage and my Pokémon! I demand that you give them back, immediately!" I shouted.
He shrunk a little under my gaze, but then pulled himself together, whacked my hand away and stood up straight, holding his ear. "Now you wait just a minute! Who do you think you're accusing of what!?"
"Don't play dumb!"
"I bet you're asking for a fight, aren't you?! Team Rocket does not take lightly to threats!" He hissed, reaching for a Pokéball.
"No! I just want my luggage back!"
"Go! Weezing!"
"Wait!"
I caught myself staring straight into Weezing's eyes. "Weezing weez..?"
"Hot dogs! Get your hot dogs! Nice and hot! Only twelve Pokédollars! Buy two and get one free!"
Both James and I looked over at the salesman, waving around a banner while cooking hot dogs on his portable grill.
I whined loudly. "If only I had money.."
"Ahah! Excellent! I have just enough!" James ran over to the salesman, completely distracted from the fight. The Weezing stared at it's master with confusion.
"Hmph. Come on, Weezing." I reached out my hand to pet it, but it floated away from me. "Fine! Be that way!" I marched over to James. "What's the big idea!?" I questioned. James was already stuffing his face with a hot dog when he turned to me.
"This is delicious!" He chimed.
"Ah! Are you two together?" The salesman asked, grinning.
"What? N-"
"How lovely! I might just throw in a deal, for such a lovely lady~" He winked at me, then handed me a hot dog. "It's on the house!"
"Oh... um, thanks!" I grinned and took a huge bite out of it.
"Hey! That's not fair! Why does she get one for nothing!?" James questioned.
"Clearly, because I'm just prettier than you." I said, giving the last bite to Azura. The salesman just laughed. "Hey, what about that buy two get one free thing you were talking about?" I asked.
"Oh? You're still hungry, my dear? Then if you two are together than this does in fact, count as buying two! Here! Take this third one!"
I mentally laughed at this guy's stupidity, and happily took the third hot dog.
"Hey!" James reached out to snatch it, until I pulled it back.
"Nu uh!" I stepped back. "I'll give this to you, as soon as you give my things back."
"I don't know what you're talking about! Gimme!"
"No!"
He growled. "Weezing! Smokescreen attack!"
I coughed on the smoke, as did the salesman. The hot dog was pulled out of my hand, so I stuck my foot out and tripped James. I heard him grunt as he hit the pavement, then I dropped down and sat on him.
As soon as the smoke cleared, I glared down at James. "Get off me you insolent fool!"
"Make me!" I growled, poking my tongue out.
"James! What are you doing!?"
I looked up, Jessie stormed right over, her hands on her hips and Meowth by her side.
"We sent you to get food! Not beaten up!"
"I'm not beaten up! This girl got in my way!" James complained.
Jessie huffed. "I know you!"
"Yeah.. I know you too." I said, folding my arms. James immediately stood up, causing me to fall off, landing on my butt. "Ow!"
"You wont get away with this!" James declared. I stood up, brushing the dirt off my butt.
"Look! If you just give me my things back, I'll leave you alone!" I said.
"What stuff?" Jessie frowned. "And besides, that's exactly what you said last time, when we dropped you off on that island."
I complained about the boat incident again, and the four of us got into an argument, when suddenly three familiar voices spoke up.
"Look Ash, its Team Rocket!"
"Argh! What're they doing here?!"
Jessie and James turned to face them, blocking me from sight. "Well well, if it isn't the twerps!"
"What are you doing here, Team Rocket!?" Misty gushed.
"That is none of your concern, little girl." Jessie scoffed. "We'll take Pikachu and leave, right James?"
"Right, Jessie!"
"But not wit'out sayin' our motto first!" Meowth spoke up.
"You're right!"
"Prepare for trouble, we're coming to take Pikachu!"
"Make it double, there's nothing you can do!"
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all peoples within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket's blasting off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight fight fight!"
"Meowth, dats right!"
'That sounded well rehearsed.. I wonder how often they do that.' I thought.
"Lets not waste any time, this time, Ash!" Misty said. I was just about to step out from behind James, when suddenly Ash commanded Pikachu to attack, shocking all four of us. We shouted in agony, and I found my feet lifting off the ground at a rapid pace. Next thing I know I'm being flown away, high in the sky with Team Rocket.
"Team Rocket's blasting off again..!"
"Ahh!"
