Drew and May walked toward a small restaurant near the place. On the way they passed by little shops for the students, and a day care center for Pokémon. Unbeknownst to everyone, it was actually Cassidy's and Butch's scam to get their Pokémon. When Drew and May arrived at the restaurant, they ordered what they wanted and took their food and sat down to eat. Harley came in not long after and saw the pair chatting at the table. This made him grin big. He walked over at to the table and sat down.
"May! Drew! I was wondering where my two favorite coordinators where!" Harley said. They both glared at him. "You two are a couple now? How Lovely!" This made them both blush and look away from each other.
"We are not a couple Harley! Get lost!" May said.
"Right," Harley sarcastically said. Then he leaned over to whisper in May's ear, "You should keep a close eye on him. He's been leading girls on and breaking their hearts once he's got them right where he wants them!" Then Harley got up and said, "Well, I guess I'll be leaving. Taa Taa, darlings!" He glanced at Drew real quick then left. Harley can just tell that they both have feelings for each other. But he's more than happy to ruin things for Drew with all that he's done and said to him.
"What did he tell you?" Drew asked.
"More lies I bet," May said.
Back at the students area, people where franticly searching for their Pokémon. Cassidy and Butch have successfully stolen their Pokémon, and nobody has a clue it was them. Their boss has all their Pokémon already. They used fake names and everything. Ash and all his friends all believe it was Team Rocket's doing; that is Jessie, James, and Meowth. When they found them, Ash, Misty, AJ, Dawn, Richie, and Iris surrounded them.
"What did you do with the Pokémon?" Ash shouted.
"Nothing. We don't have them," Jessie said.
"Yeah right! Now give us the Pokémon now!" Everyone surrounded them, and they got put into a storage room.
"You can come out once you tell us the truth!" Misty shouted.
"We are telling the truth you twerps!" Jessie shouted.
"Don't worry James darling! I'll get you out!" Jessabelle shouted. James started to panic.
"Meowth do something!"
Gary was walking around not really paying much attention to what's going on, till he saw him. He was about to go to him when Blue popped up in front of him and challenged him to a battle. Gray was going to tell him to beat it, but then he noticed that the person he was looking for was gone.
"Fine," he said. It was a full six on six battle, but Gary easily one. This was a whole different kind of battle for Blue and so he was at a huge disadvantage.
"Whatever. This isn't over yet," Blue said. Then he left. Ursula then came and bothered him.
"Wow you creamed that guy," she said.
"Yeah." Gary was ignoring her as much as possible as he walked away. After a while, he believes he has gotten rid of her. He then noticed the man he was searching for again, and ran up, took his hat and put one arm around him and gave him a friendly noogie.
"There you are Ashy boy! Been lookin everywhere for yea," he said.
"Agh! Gary!" Ash shouted. Once Ash was free from Gary's clutches, Gary returned his hat with a grin. "Great to see you too Gary…" Ash said. Ash grabbed his hat with his face turned and put it back on.
"So I bet you're a struggling with school already, huh Ash?"
"I-I am not!" Gary loved to tease Ash since it was so easy to do, and still is.
"I don't get it. Who is this Guy?" Iris said.
"Oh, you don't know? That's Gary Oak, Professor Oak's grandson and Ash's old childhood rival," Misty said.
Ursula hid behind a tree near them, and saw and heard the whole thing. How Gary acts around Ash and how he tries to get his attention. Also, seeing Misty, who if she remembers correctly was her roommate, look and blush around Ash, she had a plan going right then and there. At night, Misty and her were alone in their room lying on their beds and it was time for here plan to get started.
"So Misty, did you hear about that embarrassing confession letter?" Ursula asked.
"Oh yes. The confession letter was written by one of my friends to one of my friends, and I feel really bad for both of them," Misty said.
"Oh really? I had no idea! Though I think I saw who the confession letter was written to. His name's Ash, right?"
"Yeah."
"He's a real cutie, isn't he?"
Misty started to blush.
"Aw you're blushing! Do you like him?"
"Please keep this a secret!"
Ursula smiled and stared at the ceiling. "Hmm, I donno…"
"Oh please Ursula?"
"Oh alright. But you're going to tell him right?"
Misty turned and looked at her wall. "Well, I don't know."
"Come on! You got nothing to worry about! You're beautiful, talented, and are a great person Misty! How can he reject you?"
"You know what, you're right! Tomorrow I'll tell him!"
"That's great! I'll wish you luck Misty!"
"Thanks Ursula." They then turned off the lights and told each other good night.
The next morning, all the students were in the cafeteria at six AM to eat breakfast. Ursula stood behind Misty with a friendly smile and said, "Go get him Misty!"
"Right!" She marched right over to where Ash is. The whole group seemed to be in a serious conversation.
"… and team Rocket got away again," Ash said. He went to the storage closet to see if they are ready to confess yet, but they were gone.
"Some teacher probably let them out," May said. Misty leaned over Ash and asked if she could have a word with him in private.
"Sure Misty!" Ash said. Then they both left the cafeteria.
Ursula's face turned into an evil grin as she watched him. Then Harley appeared behind her.
"So you're doing something to that poor, innocent girl there, huh?" he asked.
"Uh… well."
"Well, we all have our own agenda. Hey, how about you help me and I'll help you? What'd you say?"
"Why should I do that?"
"Well, it'll work out so much better if we work together. Besides, you don't want me interfering, do you?"
Ursula glared at him with an annoyed look. But then she really thought about it, and said, "You know, you're right. It would work better if we work together. How about this, you help me, and I'll help you. Deal?"
"Agreed." They both grinned at each other. Even though she finds him annoying, she has a plan to get what she wants, and if he's willing to do it, then it'll be so much easier for her. It was also clear to her that she may not be able to trust this guy. She made a mental note to keep an eye out on him. Then two other people approached the two. It was Jessie and James in disguised, so they were able to roam around more easily.
"So you despise those kids over there?" Jessie asked. They both said yes.
"We do too," James said.
"We'd like to help out any way we can," Jessie said.
"Just who are you two?" Ursula asked. They both grinned and said their motto. They then have finally gotten their names.
"Ugg it's you two," Harley said.
"You know these clowns?" Ursula asked.
"Hey look do you want our help or not?" Jessie shouted.
"Fine. Just don't screw up this time, okay?" Harley said. Jessie growled at him.
James on the other hand smiled and said, "Right." They then all huddled around each other and they discussed what they were going to do and what they want done.
