Team Rocket Twins
Zoey was speechless. "A...Arrest?"
"That's what I said."
Officer Jenny started walking towards Zoey, who backed away from her.
"How can I be arrested? What have I done?"
"Your Charmander was mean to me! So daddy called Officer Jenny to teach you a lesson you big mean girl."
"Hey wait a minute!" said Zoey. "Why should I be under arrest if you're the one who was trying to take away my Charmander?!"
Officer Jenny looked at the girl's father. "What is really going on here Mr.Rockwell?"
The man sighed. "My daughter Cindy wanted a cute and rare Pokemon. So when she saw Charmander at the museum with the girl, she wanted it."
Jenny sighed in reply.
Zoey walked up to the man and said "How could you even think about letting your daughter take away my Pokemon? I don't care if you're the richest person in the world! You can't have Charmander! She belongs to me and nobody else!"
The girl looked at Cindy. "And you, you spoiled brat! You shouldn't expect people to give you what you want. The world doesn't work like that."
Cindy looked like she wanted to cry. "All...All I wanted was a Pokemon..."
Zoey calmed down and sighed.
"How old are you Cindy?"
"Eight."
"Look, if you want...I can...well, catch a Pokemon for you..." She mumbled the last part hoping the girl wouldn't hear her.
"Would you really do that for me?" said Cindy excitedly.
"Yeah, but you have to take care of it!"
"Ok! Then I want a Clefairy!"
"A Clefairy? Where am I supposed to get one of those?"
"At Mt.Moon," said Jenny. "There have been a lot of Celfairy there over the past few years. But not many people get to actually catch one."
"So where's Mt.Moon?"
"It's east from Pewter City. I can take you there if you want."
"Ok."
Zoey turned to Cindy and said "I'll go catch you a Clefairy, but you have to promise not to be mean to it."
"Ok!"
Jenny got in her patrol bike and Zoey returned Charmander into her Pokeball. The lizard wouldn't be able to fit in the passenger cart.
"Ok, off we go!" said the officer.
--
Officer Jenny and Zoey were on their way towards Mt.Moon when Zoey asked "Who were those people?"
"You mean Cindy and her father?"
"Yeah."
"They're part of the richest family in Pewter City. They have it all, except Pokemon. I guess that's why Cindy is so spoiled. She doesn't have a sibling to play with. That's why she wants a Pokemon."
"Even though I don't like the idea, why can't her father just buy one then?"
"He tried buying one from Brock, but he declined and told him that Pokemon are not supposed to be bought. They are supposed to be captured in the wild and you have to work with them to get them to love you."
"Obviously Cindy doesn't realize that."
"What about you?"
Zoey was confused. "What about me? I don't really get what you're saying."
"What I mean is do you love your Pokemon?"
"Of course! That's why I wouldn't allow Cindy to take Charmander! She's my best friend and my Pokemon companion. We're going to beat the Kanto Pokemon Leauge challenge and together we are going to become the greatest team of all time!"
Jenny smiled. "I'm guessing you're the Pokemon Protege's daughter right?"
"Who?"
"Ketchum's daughter."
"Oh, yeah. I didn't know who you were talking about. Why do you call him that?"
"Because he is one of the greatest Pokemon trainers in the history of the Pokemon world. It's nice to know that his daughter has the same dream and ambitions as him."
Zoey looked at Jenny, and then looked back at the road. She saw a moutain in the distance. "Is that Mt.Moon?"
"Yes."
--
"Man, it's dark in here!" said Zoey as her voice echoed. "Woah, an echo."
She smiled and said loudly "Echo!" The word echoed throughout the cave. Zoey giggled.
"Ok," said Jenny. "Let's find that Clefairy."
She handed Zoey a flashlight. The girl turned it on. "Um, do I have to use my own Pokeball?"
"I brought one just in case you asked that question." She gave Zoey a spare Pokeball.
The two walked throughout the cave, searching for Clefairy. But they didn't find one.
"I can't find any Clefairy..."
"I'm sure something will come up."
"Well I hope it's soon because I'm wasting my--"
Zoey felt something bump into her leg. She looked down and saw something pink. She shined the light at it and gasped.
"A Clefairy!"
She took out her Pokedex and it read "Clefairy, the Fairy Pokemon. It flies using the wings on its back to collect moonlight. They are said to have something in relation with the moon. Its adorable appearence makes it popular as a pet, however, it is difficult to find."
The Clefairy looked scared. She started to tremble.
"Oh, what's wrong?" said Zoey as she knelt down next to her. She picked up the pink Pokemon and held her in her arms.
Officer Jenny heard a noise in the distance. "What's that noise?"
"It sounds like a machine of some kind."
Zoey started walking towards the sound, Clefairy in her arms.
"Wait, where are you going?"
"To check out where the noise is coming from!"
The girl started to run through the cave, Officer Jenny not too far behind.
--
After catching up with Zoey, the blue haired woman told her to continue walking. They started to see some light at the end of the cave's tunnel. When they got there, they were shocked at what they saw.
A big machine that looked like a large flying aircraft was on the ground. Bright lights were around the inside of the cave. And they saw Clefairy and something that looked like shiny stones, being transported into the vessel.
The two females and the Clefairy hid behind a large boulder. Zoey looked at the vessel and Officer Jenny gasped silently.
It had a big red R on it.
"That's...That's a Team Rocket machine!" said Jenny. "They're stealing Moon Stones and Clefairy!"
"Team Rocket? Moonstones?"
"They're rare stones that are found mostly in Mt.Moon. They help certain Pokemon evolve. And Team Rocket is a notorious organization of crooks who mistreat Pokemon and use them for their dirty work!"
"How dare they! I'm gonna do something about this!"
"No Zoey. I'm gonna go and get some help while you stay here and keep watch. Don't do anything rash!"
And with that, Officer Jenny hurried out of the cave, undiscovered.
"You're worried about your family and friends, huh Clefairy?"
Clefairy nodded. "Clefairy..."
Zoey didn't like to sit around and do nothing, so she creeped closer to the Rocket's machine. She saw two teens, about the age of eighteen, managing the controls. There was a guy and a girl, each with purple hair. The guy had short hair, while the girl had two very long pigtails.
"Jackie," said the guy. "Isn't this great that we found this place undiscovered?"
"Yeah," said the girl with a smile. "We're in luck Jack! With all these Moonstones and Clefairys, the boss will be proud of us! I think we're doing even better than mom and dad ever did!"
"Don't count your luck!" said a cat like Pokemon. She was able to talk and was quite good at it. "Just because everything is going well, doesn't nessecarily mean we'll succeed. You always have to have a backup plan in case you're ever caught."
"What's that?" said Zoey. She checked her Pokedex.
"Meowth, the Scratch Cat Pokemon. It has a nocturnal nature. If it spots something shinny, its eyes glitter brightly."
"Oh Meowth!" said Jackie. "You're always being so negative!"
"Why can't you be on our side for once?" asked Jack.
"I am on your side! I just don't want this plan to go wrong!"
Jackie sighed and Jack shook his head.
"Whatever. Let's finish loading these things onto the ship."
Zoey wasn't going to let them get away with it and Officer Jenny was taking too long.
"Hold it right there!"
The twins and Meowth turned around to find Zoey and the Clefairy, standing a few feet away.
"Who are you?" said Jackie.
"I'm Zoey Ketchum from Pallet Town and I'm here to stop you! You can't steal the Clefairy from this place!"
"Ketchum? Now where have I heard that name before...?" said Jack.
Jackie gasped. "It's that kid mom and dad told us about!"
"Who?"
"The original twerp's daughter you moron!" said Meowth.
"Oh."
They were struck with realization just then.
"Great!" said Jackie. "This probably means we're gonna have a twerp to deal with almost every single day, just like mom and dad!" She stomped her foot.
"Not if we take care of her!" said Jack. "Koffing, go!"
"Ekans, take care of her!" said Jackie.
"Koffing!" said a floating purple Pokemon.
"Ekanssssss!" hissed a large snake.
Zoey took out her Pokedex and it read "Koffing, the Poison Gas Pokemon. Lighter-than-air gases in its body keep this Pokemon afloat. Not only do the gases smell, they are also explosive."
"Ekans, the Snake Pokemon. It snakes through grass without making a sound and strikes unsuspecting prey from behind."
"Ok," said Zoey. "I'll fight Poison with Poison! Nidoran, I chose you!"
Zoey tossed her Pokeball and out came Nidoran.
"Nido!"
"Koffing, use Tackle!"
"Koffing!"
The purple creature made it's way towards Nidoran.
"Nidoran, use Double Kick!"
"Nido!"
Nidoran slammed her foot into Koffing who flew backwards.
"Use Smokescreen Koffing!"
Koffing inhaled, then exhaled. Black smoke darted out of the holes on his body.
"Now Ekans, use Wrap!"
Ekans slithered toward the unsuspecting Nidoran, who couldn't see. She wrapped her body around the little rabbit and started to squeeze her.
"Ni...Nidoooo..." The creature was struggling to get free.
"I have to think fast," said Zoey. "Pidgeotto, go!"
Pidgeotto appeared from her Pokeball. "Pigeoooo!"
"Use Gust!"
Pidgeotto flapped her large wings to blow the smoke away.
"Now use Quick Attack!"
Pidgeotto darted at Koffing and slammed into him.
"Oh no you don't!" said Meowth. She charged toward Pidgeotto and scratched her hard, right on her face.
"Pidgeooooo!" she cried. The scratches stung.
"Pigeotto!" cried Zoey.
"Koffing, use Tackle on Pidgeotto!"
"Koffing!"
Koffing charged at Pidgeotto and slammed into her. She was sent flying and fell on the ground. "Return Pidgeotto!"
Zoey took out her last Pokeball and said "Charmander, I chose you!"
Out of the light came Charmander.
"Charmander!"
"A Charmander?" said Jackie.
"At least it's not a Pikachu..." said Jack.
"Use Fire Spin on Koffing!"
"Chaaaaaar!"
A firey vortex surrounded Koffing, burning him. He fell and fainted.
"Ack! Return Koffing!"
Ekans was the only one left.
"Charmander use Metal Claw!"
Charmander started running towards Ekans and her claw began glowing. "Char!"
She scratched the serpent across the face.
"Ekansssssss!" she hissed. The pain hurt real bad.
Nidoran saw this opportunity and bit the snake.
The little rabbit was free from her grasp.
"You're going to pay for that!" said Jackie. "Ekans, use Acid!"
Ekans shot hot acid out of her mouth. Charmander dodged it in time, but Nidoran didn't.
"Nidooo!" Even though she was a Poison type, it still burned.
"Nidoran no!" Zoey returned her Nidoran to prevent further damage.
"We've almost beat her!" said Jackie happily.
"Zubat, use Super Sonic!"
A Zubat flew into the battle area and started screeching. Ultrasonic waves hit Ekans and Meowth, confusing them. They had swirls in their eyes.
"Now's my chance! Charmander, use Fire Spin!"
"Chaaaaar!"
Fire engulfed the two Pokemon, knocking Ekans unconcious.
"Return Ekans!"
Zoey turned around and saw that the Zubat had flown back to his master and landed on her shoulder.
"Officer Jenny!" said Zoey.
"Oh no!" said Meowth as she regained her senses. "The cops!"
Clefairy had an angry expression on her face. She stepped up in front of Zoey, facing the villians. She started to wiggle a finger and it glowed.
"Huh? Clefairy, what are you doing?"
When the pink Pokemon stopped, she began to look staticy. "Clefairy!"
She used Metronome and used Thunderbolt!
It struck Team Rocket.
"N-N-N-ot this!" said Jack.
"We ARE going to end up like mom and dad!" cried Jackie.
"Both of you are morons!" yelled Meowth.
The machine with the controls exploded, causing the other machine to do so too. A large explosion erupted.
"No no no!!" cried Jackie as they were launched into the air. "This was not supposed to happen!"
"I don't want to have the same luck as dad and mom!" said Jack.
"Why my father teamed me up with you guys I'll never know!" said Meowth as she pouted.
"Looks like Team Rocket is blasting off again!"
And they disappeared into the sky.
"Wow Clefairy," said Zoey. "That was some attack!"
Clefairy smiled.
"Good job Zoey," said Officer Jenny. "I didn't even need backup."
"You mean, you were there the whole time?!"
"I wanted to see if you could of handled a situation like this and I was right!"
Zoey looked at Zubat and said "Thanks for the save Zubat."
He smiled.
Zoey took this chance to get some data on him. "Zubat, the Bat Pokemon. Disliking sunlight, it sleeps deep in forests and caves until sundown. Because it has no eyes, it uses ultrasonic waves to check it's surroundings."
The girl put her Pokedex away. "So can we leave now?"
"Yes."
--
"Finally you're back!" said Cindy.
"You better be thankful that Zoey risked her life to get you a Pokemon," said Jenny in a serious tone.
"Huh? I got her a Pokemon?"
"The Clefairy."
"Oh."
Zoey looked at the Clefairy standing next to her. She looked down at it with a sad expression. She wanted to keep it.
"Come to me Clefairy!" said Cindy happily.
Clefairy looked at her and walked towards Charmander. She stood next to her and shook her head.
"Huh?"
"Oh goodness..." said Jenny.
"Clefairy," said Zoey. "You don't want to go with Cindy?"
"Clefairy." She shook her head.
"B-but..." said Cindy. "You told me you were gonna get a Pokemon for me!" She started crying.
"Clefairy!"
Everyone except Cindy turned around to Jenny's patrol bike. Out from the passenger seat came another Clefairy. The other Clefairy ran towards her and hugged her. They were sisters.
The younger one walked over to Cindy and tugged at her dress. The girl stopped crying and looked down. "A Clefairy!"
She picked it up and hugged it.
"Well," said Zoey. "I guess you can keep that one." She smiled.
"Oh thank you Zoey!"
The older Clefairy tugged on Zoey's skirt. "Clefairy!"
"Hm?"
"Clefairy fairy!"
"You want to come with me?"
She nodded.
"Cool!" said Zoey. She took a spare Pokeball from her belt and said "Pokeball, go!"
The Clefairy let herself become captured. After the ball stopped wiggling, Zoey picked it up and said "Alright, I caught a Clefairy!"
"Charmander!"
Zoey put the Pokeball on her belt.
Cindy walked up to her and said "Here." It was a pink ribbon.
"What's this for?"
"For catching me a Pokemon. You can put it on Charmander!"
Cindy put down Clefairy and tied the ribbon around Charmander's neck. A bow was made at the back of Charmander's neck. "There, she looks cuter now!"
Charmander smiled. "Char!"
" Thanks! But I have to go now," said Zoey.
"Awww, so soon?" whinned Cindy.
"Yeah. I can't stay here forever. I'm on a journey to become the greatest Pokemon master of all time!"
Officer Jenny laughed. "Come on Zoey. I'll take you up to Mt.Moon so you don't have to walk all the way over there."
"Zoey," said Mr.Rockwell. "Thank you so much for making my daughter happy."
"It was nothing! Just make sure she takes care of that Clefairy!"
"I will."
"And you," said Zoey to Cindy. "You have to promise me too."
"I promise! Pinky promise!"
Cindy held out her pinky and so did Zoey.
Zoey and Charmander got into the passenger's seat of the patrol bike after healing at a Pokemon Center. Jenny got on and started driving towards Mt.Moon once again. Charmander was pleased with her new ribbon and so was Zoey. It made the little lizard cuter. She hugged her Pokemon with affection.
Zoey is going to be a fine trainer someday, thought Jenny. Just like her father.
And they both headed towards Mt.Moon and closer towards Zoey's next Gym Badge.
Wow, that took forever to write! Yes, you now got a first impression of the new Rockets. Can you guess who their parents are? Lol Oh and yes, the Clefairy were freed and the Moonstones were returned. I was just too lazy to write it. -sweatdrop- I hope it doesn't seem like Zoey gets freebies because the Pokemon come to her and not the other way around. Don't worry, she'll actually catch some later. The next chapter she will be in Cerulean City and will meet a new Trainer, who she might end up crushing on. Hmm, I wonder what's gonna happen next. -sly smile- Reviews would really make my day. :3
