Episode 43: The Bridge Bike Gang
After Sora and Kairi has each caught an Eeveelution, and Bulbasaur has evolved into an Ivysaur a day later. Just when they kept going, they heard a scream. Sounded by the screams, it is a couple of people. They assumed it was a Heartless attack, so they rushed to help out.
They spotted a couple being attacked by a rogue Scyther.
"Look!" Kairi called out.
"Those two are in trouble!" Sora exclaimed.
"We've got to do something!" Kairi said.
"Right," Sora said as he took out his Pokéball and threw it. "Okay, Charmeleon, go!" The Pokéball let's Charmeleon out as he went right in front of Scyther. "Slash!" Sora ordered. Charmeleon swiped his claw right at the wild mantis Pokémon. Scyther used its bladed arm to block the attack. "Dragon Claw!" Charmeleon swiped at the wild Scyther knocking it down. Scyther gets back up and used Night Slash to take a swipe at Charmeleon. Charmeleon ducks out of the way before the move could hit. "Flamethrower!" Charmeleon fired Flamethrower right at the rogue Scyther. Sora threw a Pokéball at the wild Scyther. The Pokéball wobbles around and around as Scyther tries to struggle to get out. Stars swirls around the Pokéball confirming the catch. Sora's Pokémon Box goes off asking him if he wants to keep Scyther with him. He chose to send Scyther over to Professor Oak's lab.
"Thank you for helping us out like that," the young man said gratefully.
"You were just lucky we were in the area. But what happened and why was Scyther attacking you like that?" Sora asked.
"No idea," the young woman answered.
"We were just enjoying our date when that Scyther came out and attacked us for no reason," the young man explained. He turned to his girlfriend and embraced her. "Are you alright?"
"I am. To be completely honest, I was so scared. I thought we were going to die!" The young woman sobbed.
"So did I! I love you so very much!" the young man said, still hugging his girlfriend.
"Maybe we should leave," Sora said as Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel all agreed. "Glad that you're okay, though."
"Thanks again!" the couple waved at the group.
Sora felt satisfied with himself. Not only he caught himself a wild Scyther, but three of his Pokémon all evolved all at once. Sora took Kairi's hand as they kept walking. Pikachu, Angel, and Charmeleon smiled sweetly at their Trainers.
A little later, they spotted a Tyrogue doing some punches at a tree. Sora and Kairi did a game of rock, paper, scissors, and Sora won it by using scissors cutting paper. Sora stepped in and took out a Pokéball and threw it. "Go! Mime Jr!" Mime Jr emerged from inside.
"Mime, Mime, Mime!" Mime Jr said. Tyrogue came at with a fast punch.
"That was Mach Punch. Mime Jr! Use Mimic!" Sora ordered. The ball on Mime Jr's head glows white and learns how to use Mach Punch. "Okay, use Mach Punch!" Mime Jr dashed at Tyrogue with Mach Punch, landing a hit. "Use Double Slap!" Mime Jr gave Tyrogue a couple of slaps in the face. Tyrogue gave Mime Jr a punch, but Mime Jr did the same thing. The two Pokémon punches each other and Mime Jr gave Tyrogue one more punch and fell backwards. Sora took out a Pokéball and threw it. Tyrogue flows inside and the Pokéball and it wobbles around and around. Stars swirls around the Pokéball to confirm the catch. Sora's Pokémon Box goes off asking him if he wants to keep Tyrogue with him. He chose to send Tyrogue to Professor Oak's lab. "That was great, Mime Jr!"
"Mime!" Mime Jr said as he started to evolve. Mime Jr has become a Mr. Mime. "Mime, Mime, Mr. Mime!"
"Mime Jr is now a Mr. Mime!" Kairi said.
"Eevee!" Angel said.
"Great battling, Mr. Mime," Sora said.
"Mr. Mime, Mime, Mime, Mr. Mime," Mr. Mime said.
A little while later, Sora has exchanged Mr. Mime for Krabby.
A couple of days later, Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel were walking down the streets of an unknown city when they came along a very familiar face.
"Harold!" Sora and Kairi recognized.
Harold turned to see the couple and his face lights up with joy happy to see his two friends again.
"Sora! Kairi! What a very happy surprise!" Harold exclaimed. "I haven't seen you two in a long time!" Harold ran up to them and hugged them tight. He spotted Pikachu and Angel as well. "And Pikachu and Angel! You're keeping these two out of trouble I trust?"
"Pika, Pika!" Pikachu answered.
"Eevee, vee!" Angel said.
"It's good to see you, Harold!" Sora said. "How are things going for you since we last saw you?"
"Well, you'd be surprised to hear that I don't get easily lost anymore. And I attended Pokémon medical school in several months," Harold explained. "Enough about me, what about you? What have you been up to?"
"Where do we begin? I won my Gym battles in Vermilion City, Celadon City, and Fushia City, and we also met and caught some Pokémon along the way. And we also became a couple," Sora said.
"You're a couple now? Nice! And how is Bulbasaur these days?" Harlod asked as Sora smiled and took out Ivysaur's Pokéball.
"Why don't you ask him, yourself?" Sora said letting Ivysaur out. Harold was wildly surprised to see Sora's Ivysaur in front of him.
"Bulbasaur! You evolved! How long ago?!" Harold exclaimed.
"Just a few days ago. Anyway, what are you doing here?" Sora asked.
"As I already said, I have been attending Pokémon medical school. And when I graduated, I have been traveling around the Kanto and Johto regions helping all sorts of Pokémon. As I have been traveling, I met a lot of people; meeting with old friends and meeting new people. And that's what got me to run into you," Harold explained.
"Where were you lately?" Kairi asked.
"Well, several days ago, I stopped by Porta Vista and stopped by a place called 'Danny's Bay of Burgers' and I met a kid who looked like you. When he asked me if I knew you, I told him that I'm a friend of yours, so he dragged me back to his house."
"You met my cousin?" Sora asked.
"Yeah. Him and his two friends. In fact, your aunt treated me like part of the family," Harold said.
"But what brings you here now?" Sora asked.
"Why don't you all come with me to the local Pokémon Center?" Harold asked. As the couple made it to the Pokémon Center, Harold took them right to Nurse Joy. "Joy! I've brought someone to help us out!" Harold said.
"How wonderful!" Nurse Joy beamed. Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel were at a loss.
"Harold, is there something you'd like to explain to us?" Sora asked.
"Well..." Harold said. Nurse Joy took out a small white paper bag on a tray.
"It was my idea actually. I need someone to deliver this medicine to a sick Pokémon over to the Pokémon Center in Sunny Town. I would go myself, normally, but I'm too busy attending to the sick Pokémon here," Nurse Joy said.
"And I would love to make the delivery for her myself, but she's terribly short-handed and my assistance is needed here. So, I went out looking for someone to make the delivery. I'm sorry for putting this on the both of you like this, but can you help us out?" Harold asked.
Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel all looked among themselves and all nodded as they agreed to help out.
"Sure thing, Harold," Sora said.
"We would be glad to help," Kairi said.
"You could have said something a lot sooner," Sora said.
"But we wouldn't leave a sick Pokémon hanging," Kairi said.
"Thank you all so very much! You have no idea how much this means to us!" Nurse Joy beamed.
"But there's only one question on the matter. How are we gonna get there?" Sora asked.
"You can all get there by bicycle," Harold said.
"By bicycle?" Sora and Kairi questioned.
"Well the thing is, the bridge that goes all the way to Sunny Town isn't finished yet; but there's a path you can take by bike," Harold said.
"Not an option. We have no idea how many miles it is, and I think it'll be too late for the Pokémon there, and it'll be night before you get there," Harlod said.
"He's right. We need to make the delivery fast, and a bike ride is way faster than walking," Kairi said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"So it's by bike it is," Sora said.
"And I know just the place," Harold said. He led the group to the local bike shop, he explained to the owner that they need bicycles for them as quick as possible for it was a medical emergency. The shop owner understood and gave the couple two bikes for them. One was built for one for The couple thanked the shop owner for his understanding. Sora and Kairi each got a bike and started to ride towards Sunny Town.
Unknown to Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel, Team Rocket manages to catch up to them. They're in a inflatable boat with James doing the paddling.
"There they are! They're riding on the biking path to cross that bridge," Meowth said.
"We have them right where we want them," Jessie said.
"It's not like the place is new to us or anything," James said.
"This place brings back so many wonderful memories. You could almost call it our hometown. Don't you agree, James?" Jessie asked.
"I do! We have our own home field advantage!" James said.
"James! Prepare to attack!" Jessie gave the word.
"I'm kinda busy doing all the paddling!" James shot at her.
"Does anyone wonder how many stories they have in their past?" Meowth asked.
Over to Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel, they were having themselves a small break since they were thirsty.
"Ah, that hits the spot," Sora said.
"It sure did," Kairi said. "Also, it was good to see Harold again."
"Harold has come a long way since we last saw him," Sora said.
"Sure have. He's grown even more responsible as a Pokémon doctor," Kairi said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
The couple got back into positions of their temporary transportations.
"Now let's hit the road," Sora said as he heard something coming towards them. "Huh? What is that?" The couple saw a bicycle gang approaching them.
"Oh great. This is what we need, a bicycle gang," Sora said with a hint of sarcasm. "We should get going while the getting's good."
Unfortunately, it was too late for that when the gang quickly surrounded the couple like sharks over a dead whale.
One biker who has red hair and an orange streak riding a bike with a Zapdos cover. He wore a black vest and black pants and a white bandana.
"Well, well, well, I don't think we've seen you here before," the biker said.
"We're not really not from around here. So we'll be making on pur way. So bye!" Sora said as he and his friends were about to take off.
"Hold it!" The biker called out stopping them cold. "We don't plan on crossing this bridge without a proper introduction." The bike gang all agreed.
"Introductions is what you want? Then an introduction you will have. I'm Sora and this is Kairi. Well, now that has been taken care of, we'll be on our way," Sora said quickly. "So have your people call my people."
"See ya later!" Everyone said all at once.
"That's not what I meant!" the biker leader exclaimed.
A young woman stepped off her bike. She had dark green hair and purple eyes. She wore a black leather vest and a midriff-baring dark magenta top, a black leather skirt, black kneepads, and black and yellow sneakers with red laces.
"When we say introduction, we mean a Pokémon battle," she corrected.
"Oh. Then by all means let's make this a quick one!" Sora said. Everyone stood on opposite sides as they got ready for the battle. "You guys are gonna be sorry that you picked a fight with us."
"You think you can play with the big boys?" the biker leader asked taking out his Pokéball. "I'll send you home crying to your mommy. Golem! Go!" He threw his Pokéball and it lets out a Golem.
"So it's a Rock and Ground-type you're sending me, huh? This one will make you all wet! Go Krabby!" Sora took out Krabby's Pokéball and threw it. The Pokéball let's Krabby out for his very first battle.
"Krabby might have the type advantage, but Golem looks way more experienced in battle," Kairi said in her thoughts.
"Krabby! Crabhammer!" Sora ordered as Krabby pounded on Golem's shell. "Now use Bubble!" Krabby shot a barrage of bubbles at Golem, but the large Pokémon just stood taking the hit.
"Your Krabby needs some work! My Golem isn't afraid of getting wet! And that weak Crabhammer wasn't even enough to crack its shell!" Sora growled as he knew he was right. Krabby is too inexperienced for battle. "Golem! Rollout attack!" Golem rolled into a ball and sent Krabby right back at Sora's feet.
"Krabby! You okay?" Sora asked. Krabby nodded in response knowing he lost his first battle. "I'm the one who should be sorry, buddy. I put you in without thinking. You should rest up." Sora called Krabby back to his Pokéball and pulls out another. "Okay Charmeleon! It's your turn!" Sora threw the Pokéball unleashing Charmeleon.
"Charmeleon!" Charmeleon said.
"You must have rocks in that spiky head of yours," the biker leader taunted. "You should know my Golem is going to put out your puny Charmeleon's fire!"
"You're right about type! But this will only make the battle even more fun!" Sora called out. "Use Dragon Claw!"
"Char!" Charmeleon swiped at Golem, it little damage to the large Pokémon.
"Use Fire Fang!" Sora ordered as Charmeleon bit one of Golem's legs.
"Don't think you're going to heat things up! Rock Throw!" the biker leader called out as Golem hurled some rocks at Charmeleon. The flame Pokémon dodged out the way before the rocks could hit.
"Use Flamethrower now!" Sora called out as Charmeleon fired Flamethrower at Golem. Golem's body started to glow indicating how hot it is. "Turn up the heat! Give that Golem more than it could handle!" Charmeleon increased the power of his attack.
"Golem! Rollout now!" the biker leader called out. Golem rolled towards Charmeleon leaving behind a cinged trail behind it. Charmeleon stepped out of the way. Golem was now a huge fireball causing some burns on some of the gang members. "Golem, return!" the biker leader said calling Golem back. As soon as Golem was back inside its Pokéball, it became to hot to touch. "Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!"
"Good job Charmeleon! You really heated things up!" Sora said to Charmeleon.
The leading biker chick stepped up.
"Now it's my turn to show you," she said taking out a Pokéball and throwing it. "Cloyster! Go!" The Pokémon inside is a black, pearl-like Pokémon. It is encased inside a light-gray shell, which is surrounded by a second jagged, blue-violet outer shell casing. It has one barb-like spike protruding from above its head, and multiple conical horns on its outer shell. Its shell is harder than a diamond with spikes that are even harder; harsh tidal currents will affect the size and sharpness of these spikes. On its pearl-like face, it has two white eyes and a mouth. Aside from its face and head, its internal anatomy has never been seen. Once it has shut itself in, it is impossible to open its shell from the outside. This impressive defense allows it to withstand anything from a bomb blast to even a missile strike.
"A Cloyster," Kairi said, taking out her Pokédex and scanned it.
Cloyster, the Bivalve Pokémon
The evolved form of Shellder
Type: Water/Ice
For protection, it uses its harder-than-diamonds shell. It also shoots spikes from the shell.
"Sora, how about I take this one," Kairi said.
"Go for it," Sora said.
"You battle? This will be quick!" The biker chick said.
"We'll see about that!" Kairi said, taking out a Pokéball and threw it. Kairi took out a Pokéball and threw it. "Go! Poliwhirl!" Her Pokéball opened and Poliwhirl came on out to battle.
"Poliwhirl!" Poliwhirl said.
"Cloyster! Use Spike Cannon!" The biker chick ordered. Cloyster fired Spike Cannon at the Tadpole Pokémon.
"Dodge and use Use Ice Punch!" Kairi ordered. Poliwhirl dodges and lands an Ice Punch on the Bivalve Pokémon. It did so little damage.
"Use Clamp!" The biker chiker ordered. Cloyster moved in and clamped onto Poliwhirl's arm. "Use Ice Beam!" Cloyster fired Ice Beam, dealing some serious damage on the Tadpole Pokémon.
"Poliwhirl! Use Double Slap!" Kairi ordered. Poliwhirl gave Cloyster a couple of slaps in the face. The King's Rock started to react to Poliwhirl. "Use Hydro Pump!" The swirl on Poliwhirl's stomach glows light purple and it releases a powerful stream of water from in the middle of it at Cloyster. The Bivalve Pokémon has been taken so much damage from the powerful water attack.
"Why you little-!" she scowled. She had no idea Kairi was so strong, especially the way she handled her Poliwhirl. Sora was very proud of his girlfriend for the victory against the biker chick. She called Cloyster back still scowling at Kairi. Suddenly, sirens are heard in the background.
"Now what?" Sora asked disdained.
It turns out to be Team Rocket riding in on unicycles with Jessie wearing a yellow shirt, a purple pearl necklace, and black pants with black shoes. Jessie also wore sunglasses. James was wearing the exact same thing except the shirt he wore was red. Meowth came in dressed as a circus ringmaster and holds a whip in his paw like a lion tamer.
"Prepare for trouble!"
"And make it double!"
"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 blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth! That's right!"
"Tyra, it's been a while," Jessie greeted taking off her sunglasses.
"Big Jess!" Tyra beamed.
"You're looking good as ever, Chopper," James also greeted taking off his sunglasses.
"Little Jim!" Chopper also beamed.
"Big Jess and Little Jim?" Sora asked, confused.
Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel were just as confused.
"Well, if you must know, we have ourselves a bad reputation back in the old days," Jessie said.
"You were Chainer Jessie! Big Jess was so cool swinging her chain around while she rode her bicycle!" Tyra said still beaming.
"And there was Trainer James! Little Jim was the only one in the gang who had to use training wheels," Chopper said.
"Oooookayyyy," Sora said.
"We haven't seen you in years! What have you been doing with your lives, lately?" Tyra asked.
"Well, after we left, we joined up with Team Rocket," Jessie said.
"Team Rocket!" Chopper and Tyra said dreamily.
"And we have a little pest problem," Jessie said taking a look over to Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel..
"I am not liking how this will turn out," Kairi said.
"Me neither," Sora added.
"These brats have been foiling our plans," Jessie said.
"We'd do anything for Big Jess and Little Jim!" Chopper said.
"You can help us capture all their Pokémon!" Meowth said as the gang was about to advance on them.
"Crap!" Sora gasped. "Run for it!" Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel were about to get back to riding. Suddenly, a squad of the local police started to arrive. The bike gang and Team Rocket started to retreat. The police stopped right at where Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel were at.
"What are you all think you're doing causing trouble on this bridge?" Officer Jenny asked sternly.
"We weren't causing any trouble, honest!" Sora said waving his hands.
"We were just trying to deliver some medicine to the Pokémon Center in Sunny Town," Kairi said.
"Medicine?" Officer Jenny asked.
"We have it right here, officer," Kairi said, taking the medicine out of Sora's backpack and shows it to her.
"The Nurse Joy there sent us to make the delivery and that bike gang showed up and challenged us to a battle," Sora said.
"Well it checks out," Officer Jenny said. "I'll be giving you an escort, since you need to get there."
"Thank you," Kairi said smiling.
Officer Jenny was about to start to escort the group when her radio goes off. Officer Jenny answers.
"This is unit 303," she said, listening. "I'm on my way." She turned to them. "There has been an accident, I'll have to go."
"It's no big deal. We can be fine on our own," Sora said.
"Okay, kids. Just be careful," Officer Jenny told them.
"Thanks," Sora and Kairi said.
"Now let's get back to what we were doing before we were so rudely interrupted," Sora said as the couple got back into their positions.
"You're right, Sora! A sick Pokémon is counting on us!" Kairi said.
The couple started to ride towards Sunny Town storm clouds started to build up.
Elsewhere, Team Rocket and the bikers are watching Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel ride through the storm. Team Rocket looked at them like they were crazy.
"They're riding through the storm!" James said looking through the binoculars.
"They're not serious, are they?" Jessie asked.
"I knew those kids were all wet. That wind could blow them right off the bridge," Meowth said.
"They must be crazy. Makes me glad we're inside," James said.
"Big Jess!" Tyra called.
"Little Jim!" Chopper called.
Jessie and James turned to see their old gang behind them.
"We know you wanna be out there! You can ride through a storm twice this intense!" Chopper said.
James was absolutely worried now.
"I could?" James asked, trying to hide his fears.
"Big Jess! Lead us to the eye of the storm and teach us how to ride Big Jess style!" Tyra said.
"Show the the whole gang how to really ride!" Chopper and Tyra both said at once as the gang looked at them starry eyed. Jessie and James were definitely scared now. They didn't want to let their old gang down, but they couldn't have think they could survive.
"You're not of the storm, are ya?" Chopper asked causing James to regain his luster.
"I'm not! I just wish I had my training wheels with me!" James answered feeling confident.
"What about you, Big Jess?" Tyra asked.
"We could die out there. But when we do die, I'll feel better leaving behind a beautiful corpse. I guess I have no choice," Jessie said in her thoughts. "Alright then! Let's show you kids what riding is all about!"
"I wish I could go with you," Meowth said sarcastically.
"Meowth! We'd never leave you behind!" Chopper said, taking the cat Pokémon by the paws.
"Shit!" Meowth said in his thoughts.
Over to the Pokémon Center in Sunny Town, the Nurse Joy there had recieved a call from Harold.
"The medicine still hasn't arrived," Nurse Joy said.
"But it should have been there, by now," Harold said.
"Maybe they won't get through the storm," Nurse Joy said.
She looked over to the sick Shellder and saw the condition was getting worse.
"I'll call again in a little while to check. Until then, I'll do what I can to help your sister here," Harold said hanging up. "Sora. Don't let me down."
Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel rode through the fierce storm as the winds grew stronger and stronger. They approached the drawbridge as it rises as a ship comes in.
"No! Not now! Not now!" Sora exclaimed.
"Sora, this sounds crazy, but we're going have to jump it!" Kairi said.
"We can't afford to wait! Let's do this thing!" Sora said.
On the other side of the drawbridge, Team Rocket brought their unicycles and got ready to ride.
"I can't believe we're actually doing this," Jessie said.
"A Pikachu can't be worth this," James said.
"Hey, look there!" Meowth said making Jessie and James look at the raising drawbridge. "They can't get passed that!"
"Hang in there, Little Jim!" Chopper cheered.
"Show them what you can do, Big Jess!" Tyra added as the rest of the gang cheered.
"Do we really have to do this?" Jessie asked hanging her head.
"I guess so," James answered also hanging his head.
Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel kept going as the drawbridge was getting gloser to be fully opened. Team Rocket did the same thing riding their unicycles. They made an epic jump and bounced on Team Rocket, giving them the extra boost they need.
"Team Rocket is splashing down again!" Team Rocket fall into the water. The ship coming in went through the drawbridge.
"We made it!" Sora shouted out.
"I thought we weren't going to make it," Kairi said.
"What was that we bounced off of?" Sora asked.
"I don't know," Kairi said, shrugging her shoulders. She looked ahead of them. "Oh no! Look up ahead!" Sora and Pikachu looked up ahead and saw the bikers again.
"Crap," Sora groaned. "Them again."
"Alright, now you have to battle us," Chopper said.
"Seriously! Is that what you care about?! We're on a very important mission delivering medicine to a sick Pokémon, if you don't mind?" Sora snapped at him.
"What?" Chopper asked in disbelief.
"Is that why you're out here in the storm?" Tyra asked.
"That's what we were doing when you guys showed up," Sora said.
"Now that's a real biker, for ya!" Chopper said moved by their tale. "Come on, you guys! We're gonna take them there in style!"
"Yeah!" The rest of the bikers all said.
Everyone rode right to Sunny Town as it had stopped raining.
"Don't worry, Sora! We'll clear the way for ya!" Chopper said.
Nurse Joy stood out worried hoping they would make it in time. But that wishful thinking became a reality as they had finally arrived.
"Sorry we're late! We have the medicine right here!" Sora said, taking out the medicine and handing it to her.
"You made it through a storm like this! This little Shellder is going to be just fine!" Nurse Joy poured the medicine into the water tank. Once Shellder was exposed to it, its health returned to normal.
"We're just glad to help out," Sora said, smiling knowing that they had saved a Pokémon's life. Kairi made contact to the Pokémon Center in the previous town and Harold answered.
"Kairi! Is the Shellder there doing okay?" Harold asked.
"Shellder is doing great!" Kairi answered. "We're just sorry we made you worry so much."
"That's no problem. I'm just glad that I picked the right people for the job. And thank you so much for the help," Harold said.
Everyone celebrated their success.
"From now on, we're calling you Awesome Sora!" Chopper announced.
"Mighty Kairi!" Tyra added.
"And Awesome Sora and Mighty Kairi!" Tyra added.
"I think they made up their minds, Sora," Kairi said.
"Yeah, they sure did," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"But there's one thing that's not sitting with me right now," Sora pointed out.
"And what's that?" Kairi asked her boyfriend.
"Whatever happened to Team Rocket?" Sora asked.
"Since you mentioned it, I have no idea," Kairi said.
Everyone stayed for the night and set off in the next morning. The bike gang now had new heroes to look up to and everyone was happy; except for Team Rocket.
Elsewhere, a father and son were walking down the dock, about to do some fishing when they saw something come out of the water. They watched the Team Rocket members and Meowth cycling from the water, covered with seaweed.
"This is a vicious cycle," Team Rocket groaned.
"Dad, what happened to those people?" The boy asked.
"No idea, son," the father said.
They decided not to dwell on it as Team Rocket kept on riding forward.
