How could Danny have let this happen? He'd never been caught before and now there was a serious danger of Team Rocket's true grip on Johto being revealed.
"Team Rocket was disbanded years ago. You should know that." Danny said, trying his best not to give anything away with his face.
"Oh, no," said Abbie, feeling his jacket for Pokéballs. "I know that you are a part of Team Rocket. And you will kindly tell me where they are hiding." She found his Pokémon and took them away. "And, now I have your Pokémon as well, so if you'd like to start talking now, we could avoid some hassle."
"Oh, Abbie. Just when I thought we were going to get along." Danny was stalling her, trying to think of an escape plan. She had five Pokéballs in her hand, all presumably his and somehow, she knew that he was a part of Team Rocket. The handcuffs felt secure, and from this position, there was no way he could pick them. The only thing he could reach was his watch. His watch!
"Don't let this talk escalate Daniel, the truth will emerge in the end."
"Really?" said Danny grinning as he put his thumb and forefinger on either side of his watch. "Because I'd say that I have the upper hand."
"Don't fool yourself." Abbie snapped and Danny squeezed the buttons, releasing the cap.
"Leaf blade!" he yelled as Sceptile jumped out of its hiding place and slashed the cuffs in half. Danny was free. "Pin her against the wall!"
"Wha-" Abbie got cut off mid sentence as Sceptile darted over to her and used his leaf blades to trap her neck against the wall.
"Don't forget the legs." Danny ordered and Sceptile, trapped them too. Danny walked over to her and took away her Pokémon but took his back. "Don't actually hurt her buddy."
"Don't act like you care about Pokémon."
"Don't act like you know stuff about Team Rocket. Not all grunts are what you think." Danny said, trying to keep her quiet whilst he thought to himself. Sceptile gave a growl. "I'm trying to think buddy, I'm trying."
"So you do care?"
"Abra," Danny said, ignoring Abbie as he tossed Abra's Pokéball up. "Lock all exits and close all curtains." Without moving, Abra closed the curtains and locked the door.
"How did you find out that I work for Team Rocket?"
"Different pieces of information pieced together. Then I followed you."
"So us meeting at the Pokéathlon was no coincidence."
"No," Abbie admitted "But I was wrong. I don't think you want to be part of Team Rocket."
"What makes you say that?"
"You care about Pokémon, you live with your Mum, you left school at ten."
"So?" Danny snapped.
"So you probably joined as a kid because you had no choice and now you can't leave."
"Hm..." Danny was thinking. She had deduced a lot. But she seemed blissfully unaware of the big picture.
"I can help you leave. I'm part of an organisation built to stop gangs like Team Rocket gaining power. We can bring them down."
"Well," Danny said. He was sceptical because of her managing to fool him earlier but whatever way he looked at it, she seemed to offer a means of escape even if it was jail. "Let her go Sceptile." he said and he gave Abbie her Pokémon back. "Take me to your leader."

"This is the grunt?" a tall, thin man said.
"Technically," said Danny "I'm a commander."
"Ooh, very fancy." the man said. He looked like he was in his mid-twenties and he had long brown hair. "I'm Steve Milverton by the way, the leader of this organisation."
"Danny, Danny Griffin." Danny replied, extended his hand and receiving a firm shake.
"The others aren't here right now so I'll just give you the situation." he said, walking over to his computer and sitting down. "It has come to our attention that Team Rocket has returned. And we're going to need to get inside, find out what's going on and put a stop to this."
"Well, not quite." Danny said. It was just as he feared. The organisation was unaware of the real situation. "Let me tell you where you've gone wrong. First of all, Team Rocket never went away so it can't return."
"It was disbanded by Red though. And then by Gold. You can't say those things never happened."
"When Red defeated Giovanni, Giovanni fled. But the rest of Team Rocket held. Many grunts got fired but I guess I got lucky and stayed in. Then, we gained more recruits and tried to find Giovanni but then came Gold's Radio Storm but this time, Archer publicly said that we were disbanding when really we went underground."
"Underground?"
"Literally. We went into hiding and again fired many members but not as many this time. In the five years since then, we've slowly been gaining recruits but we learned from our mistakes. We kept a low profile and only hired those with the skills to avoid another disaster. Now, Team Rocket's grip on the Johto region is very strong, stronger than it ever has been but this time nobody even knows we exist."
"How strong is this grip?" Steve asked, clearly shocked by this revelation.
"Well, we've got more numbers than ever before and they are all capable of stealing and battling. They are all skilled. Also, we have control of all CCTV cameras in Johto."
"You're kidding."
"I'm serious. Team Rocket spends a long time planning missions now. In the past, we've been rash and have been caught. Team Rocket likes to make sure that the mission is a success so we spent about a year in siding with the CCTV operators. That's why no images of theft are ever found."
"This doesn't sound good," said Steve, scratching his chin. "We'll definitely need somebody to infiltrate them."
Danny laughed. "Impossible. Team Rocket likes to make sure, remember? They'd never let anyone in who was part of a public organisation."
"Well," said Abbie, who had remained quiet throughout. "It's a good thing this organisation isn't public."
"Then there's a slim chance. But you'll need a good actor, someone who can fool Rockets."
"Wasn't hard the first time." Abbie said, fluttering her eyelashes. Danny gave a chuckle.
"We'll also need you to help us." said Steve "We could use your knowledge and you could protect young Abbie if she gets in."
"That would be suicide." said Danny, dismissing the idea. "What's in it for me?"
"Once a Rocket, always a Rocket." said Steve, chuckling. "We'll keep your mother safe." Danny considered it for a moment. A chance to bring down Team Rocket and keep his mother safe?
"You have yourself a deal."
