Hello readers. Here's the latest episode of my Tiny Toon Adventures in Kanto fanfiction series. As I mentioned in the previous chapter, parts of this version is going to be different from the original. Nicholas, one reason why Montana Max hasn't made a move because if you remember reading in the first episode, when Mary Melody filed a missing friends report to Officer Jenny, Jenny also issued a warrant for Monty's arrest along with everybody helping him. He'll make his first appearance in Battle Aboard the St. Anne, in disguise. But anyway, enjoy reading.

Episode 12: Here Comes the Squirtle Squad
(Insert "I Choose You" from Pokémon)
You'll remember in an earlier Pokémon adventure, our hero Ash achieved his dream of catching a Bulbasaur. It was a shocking victory! And so Bulbasaur joined the ranks! Soon Fifi, Mary, Buster, Hamton, Dizzy, Bookworm, Fowlmouth, Shirley, Misty, Brock, and Ash lost their way, but found a Charmander. Braving a fierce storm, Ash and his friends came to its rescue. Abandoned by its Trainer, the Fire Pokémon recovered its strength and gained some new friends! Charmander became Ash's newest Pokémon. And that's how Ash caught Charmander and Bulbasaur. He's pretty pleased with himself as he skips down the road, singing our favorite theme. Becoming a Pokémon Trainer looks like it'll be a snap. However, our friends still have to find more of the missing toons as well before Elmyra does.
(End Music)
Little did Ash and co. know that earlier, a pitfall trap was set up earlier by the Squirtle Squad. They watched from the bushes to see if they'll fall in. But due to the toons being with Ash, they walked over it without falling in. The Squirtle Squad was shocked by this, especially the leader. He walked to where the pit was covered. "What is wrong with this trap?! Function! Function!" yelled Squirtle #1. But it didn't work. "I don't understand," said Squirtle #1 as he walked on top of the covered pit. But that was a big mistake. Suddenly, the ground underneath him collapsed and Squirtle #1 fell into the pit screaming. Ash and co. were alerted by the scream and crash.
"What was that?!" asked Mary. Ash and co. ran to where the pit was at.
"It's a pitfall trap that we must've walked over thanks to our toon physics," said Buster.
"Look down there!" said Ash.
"Pikachu!" said Pikachu. Everybody saw Squirtle #1 had fallen on his shell and was flailing helplessly.
"Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!" cried Squirtle #1.
"Sacrebleu! What ees zat?" asked Fifi.
"It's a Squirtle!" said Misty.
(Insert "Pokédex Theme, Kanto-Johto Version" from Pokémon)
Ash got out his Pokédex to get data on the Squirtle. "Squirtle. This tiny turtle Pokémon draws its long neck into its shell to launch incredible water attacks with amazing range and accuracy. The blasts can be quite powerful," said the Pokédex.
(End Music)
"Bulbasaur, we need you!" said Ash. He threw the ball and the said Pokémon was summoned.
"Bulbasaur!" said Bulbasaur.
"Bulbasaur, use your vines to help that Squirtle out of the pit," said Ash.
"Bulba," said Bulbasaur. He extended some vines from its bulb and they wrapped around Squirtle #1. Bulbasaur then lifted the turtle Pokémon gently out of the pit.
"Like, are you okay?" asked Shirley.
"No! I feel humiliated! You boobs were supposed to fall in the pit, not me!" said Squirtle #1.
"Are you saying vous dug zat pit?" asked Fifi.
"Yes. But for some stupid reason, you didn't fall in!" fumed Squirtle #1. Just then, the Squirtle's four comrades ran out of the bushes, yelping. "What is your problem?!" asked Squirtle #1.
"Turtles!" cried a voice that everybody knew too well.
"Elmyra!" cried everybody.
"I'm gonna hold you, squeeze you and love you turtles forever!" said Elmyra. Squirtle #1 just smirked.
"You don't know who you are messing with, girl!" said Squirtle #1.
"We're the Squirtle Squad!" said Squirtle #2.
"You better start running for your life if you know what's good for you!" said Squirtle #3.
"Not until you five become my pets!" said Elmyra.
"No way!" said Squirtle #4.
"Humans are nothing but trouble!" said Squirtle #5.
(Insert "Silly Psyduck" from Pokémon)
Elmyra charged at Squirtle #1 to try to grab him. But he jumped out of the way. The blue turtle then swung his tail, which hit Elmyra in the face. In the process, the attack knocked off her wig. "Hey!" cried Elmyra. Squirtle #3 picked up the wig.
"Now that's something you don't see everyday. A bald girl," said Squirtle #3.
"Give back my wig," said Elmyra. Squirtle #3 held out the wig for Elmyra to grab. But suddenly, he tossed it to Squirtle #2. "Hey!" cried Elmyra. The Squirtles began to play keep away with Elmyra's wig. Ash and co. watched as this happened. The toons who were animals were trying not to laugh. Just then, Squirtle #4 then put on Elmyra's wig on his head.
"Wook at me! I'm Elmyra and I wove animals. I wanna hold you, squeeze you and wove you forever!" said Squirtle #4, doing a bad imitation of Elmyra. His fellow Squirtles and the toons burst out laughing. Elmyra growled due to being made fun of. Squirtle #4 threw the wig back at Elmyra. The five Squirtles then fired their Water Gun attack at Elmyra. All of the water was being fired right into Elmyra's mouth. This was causing her to get inflated, just like what happened to Meowth. The Squirtles then stopped firing their Water Gun attack. All the water started to gush out of Elmyra's mouth, sending her into the distance like a leaky balloon. The five Squirtles laughed due to the mischief they caused.
(End Music)
Just then, a Pokémon Control Van arrived and some Pokémon Control Officers exited out, pointing tasers at the Squirtle Squad. "Don't move, Squirtle Squad," said P.C.O. #1.
"You caused enough trouble in this town," said P.C.O. #2. But suddenly, somebody began to attack Pokémon Control. It was Plucky Duck.
"Oh no you don't! The reward on the Squirtle Squad's heads isn't for you to claim! It's mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!" yelled Plucky. He shoved the Pokémon Control Officers back into the van, still yelling "mine, mine, mine!" Plucky even had the gall to push the van into the pit the Squirtle Squad dug. The van hit the bottom with a loud crash. The van alarms sounded due to the damage the van sustained. After that, Plucky began to bury the van so that people couldn't get out. And he was laughing with sadistic glee as he did so.
"It's Plucky!" cried Shirley. Plucky turned to the Squirtle Squad.
"Today is the day I beat you and claim the rewards on your heads!" said Plucky.
"Bring it on, loser!" said Squirtle #1.
(Insert "Let's Run!" from Pokémon)
Plucky got out his mallet once again to try to smash the Squirtles and chased after them. "We got to unbury Pokémon Control! Onix, go!" said Brock. He threw the Poké Ball and his rock snake was summoned.
"Sandshrew, help out too," said Ash. He summoned his Ground Pokémon. Sandshrew and Onix began to burrow into the ground to uncover the Pokémon Control Van. Plucky swing his mallet to try to hit the Squirtle Squad, buy they were too fast. It was at that moment that Gary and his cheerleaders entered the area in their car.
"What in the world?" asked Gary. One of the Squirtles saw Gary's car and got a sneaky idea. He ran to where Gary and his group were at.
"Over here, stupid!" yelled Squirtle #2.
"You're Squirtle soup when I'm through with you!" yelled Plucky. He charged at Squirtle #2, ready to strike. But the Squirtle dodged and Plucky smashed part of Gary's car instead.
"My car!" cried Gary. Gary and the cheerleaders got out of the damaged car. But the Squirtles went near the group.
"Too slow, you dumb duck!" said Squirtle #1. Plucky charged at the Squirtle Squad like a mad Tauros. Gary and his cheerleaders realized what was going to happen. The Squirtles dodged Plucky's hammer strikes. And instead, Plucky whacked Gary and his cheerleaders, one by one. Gary got bonked on the head, which resulted in him getting a big goose egg on his head. The cheerleaders were either whacked on their heads, butts or even their boobs. Ash was trying hard not to laugh. The Squirtles also tricked Plucky into smashing more of Gary's car, damaging it even more. Very soon, Gary's car was completely trashed. Gary and the cheerleaders screamed at the sight of it.
(End Music)
Seeing how Plucky wasn't able to get the Squirtles, Ash decided to intervene. "That's it. I'm jumping in cause I want a catch Squirtle. That way, I'll have all three Kantonian starters. With a Squirtle, Gary will never beat me! Go Pikachu!" said Ash. Pikachu began to run toward the Squirtles, with his cheeks sparking.
"Pikachuuuuuuuuuuu!" said Pikachu. He fired some electricity at the leader. But one of them stepped in front of the leader and got shocked himself. The Squirtle fell to the ground. The leader angrily turned toward Pikachu. "Pikachu!" said Pikachu.
"Squirtle!" said Squirtle. Just then, everybody began to hear some police sirens. The head Squirtle began to communicate with his comrades. Three of them picked up the one who was shocked earlier. Then, all five Squirtles fled the area.
"Pikachu?" asked Pikachu.
"That was sure weird," said Ash. Just then, an Officer Jenny arrived on a motorcycle. This one had a four-pointed star on her hat.
"Are you guys alright? Has anyone been hurt here?" asked Jenny.
"My cheerleaders and I got hurt, no thanks to that duck over there!" growled Gary.
"Officer Jenny!" said Ash.
"Huh? Have we met before? Your face doesn't look familiar," said Jenny.
"We met you back in Viridian City. Remember?" asked Ash.
"Or are you the one from Cerulean City?" asked Hamton.
"Oh, you mean one of the other Jennys. My cousin," said Jenny.
"Cousin?" asked Ash.
"My cousins are all police officers. All of us look identical, plus we're all named Jenny," said Jenny. She showed them a photo of her with eight other Officer Jennys.
"Talk about family resemblance," said Buster.
"At least they remember all their names," said Mary. Brock's Onix and Ash's Sandshrew finished digging up the Pokémon Control van. The Pokémon Control officers exited out.
"Where's the Squirtle Squad?" asked P.C. Officer #1.
"They got away . . . again," said Jenny. The Pokémon Control Officers glared at Plucky Duck.
"You stupid duck!" said P.C. Officer #1.
"That's the third time this week you interfered with Pokémon Control business," said P.C. Officer #2.
"I wasn't about to allow you to claim the reward on the Squirtle Squad's heads. That reward money is mine and mine alone! And I would've gotten it today if it weren't for those meddling kids over there!" said Plucky.
"Well you got bigger problems right now," said Jenny. Plucky turned around and saw Gary and his cheerleaders giving him death glares. Some of them were clutching their injuries.
"You got some nerve attacking us and smashing my car!" snarled Gary.
"You and your group of hussies got in the way. So that was your fault," said Plucky unsympathetically. That was a big mistake on Plucky's part.
"WHAT?!" asked the Cheerleaders. One of the cheerleaders seized Plucky by the throat. Gary and the cheerleaders began to wallop him with their fists and feet. Plucky screamed as he was getting clobbered.
Everybody traveled with Jenny to the police station at a small town so she could explain everything. A tow truck took Gary's smashed up car to the mechanic's. Gary and his cheerleaders had their injuries patched up. Plucky was covered in bandages and both his eyes were blackened. "That Pokémon gang calls itself the Squirtle Squad," said Jenny.
"Squirtle Squad?" asked Ash.
"I never heard of a Pokémon gang," said Misty.
"They're all Squirtles who were deserted by their Pokémon Trainers," said Jenny. "Deserted?" asked Ash. "They don't have a Trainer, so they just run wild and play tricks on the whole town," said Jenny. She explained they did many tricks such as stealing flags, vandalize walls with graffiti and steal food from market places. "It's really kinda sad, 'cause if they had somebody to care about them, they wouldn't turn out to be as bad as they are. It's a real shame," said Jenny.
"Plucky mentioned zat zere was some reward on zeir heads. Ees eet true?" asked Fifi.
"Yes. A bounty of money has been placed on their heads for their capture. Many people have tried to claim it. But unfortunately, none have succeeded, especially ever since that green duck you call Plucky came along, wanting the reward all for himself," said Jenny.
"And I would've succeeded today if it weren't for you meddling kids," said Plucky.
"You have no room to speak, duck! Ever since you came here, you've been causing more damage than the Squirtle Squad ever did. You've accidentally hurt people by dropping all those anvils, weights & pianos, blown up entire buildings with explosives, I could go on," said Jenny. Gary started to leave.
"Where are you going, Gary?" asked Cheerleader #1.
"To find the Squirtle Squad," said Gary.
"Oh no! That reward money is mine!" said Plucky.
"I need it more than you, duck! I need the money to fix my car! Get in my way, and my Fire Pokémon will roast you into a duck dinner," said Gary. And he left in a huff. Plucky growled angrily.
"You're going to regret messing with me," said Plucky.
"Hey, Plucky. Instead of trying to frustrate yourself over that reward money, why don't you travel with us and help us find the rest of our friends?" asked Buster.
"No way! Forget it! I'm not traveling with you after the way that you and Babs used me as a scapegoat to escape from Elmyra!" said Plucky.
"What did you do?" asked Ash.
"During this one spring break, Elmyra was pursuing Babs and I cause she believed I was the Easter Bunny. No matter how many times we shook her off, she was persistent So, to get her off our backs, we placed fake ears on Plucky and Elmyra captured him instead of us," said Buster. He turned to Plucky.
"Why can't you just get over it and accept my apology?!" asked Buster.
"The only way I will get over it is that something bad happens to you and Babs and I get to enjoy it without somebody or something ruining my triumph! All I know is that you may use me as a scapegoat again! That's why I'm not traveling with you! The reward is more important and that's that!" said Plucky. And he stormed off. Buster growled in annoyance.
"He is so stubborn!" grumbled Buster.
Outside the station, Team Rocket were do some more spying. Jessie was using binoculars to spy on Ash and his friends just as they were about to leave. They were still covered in burns from when Charmander flamed them yesterday. "There. I see them. The little brats. And Pikachu's with them," said Jessie.
"Do you see a restaurant? I'm really starving here," said Meowth. Jessie suddenly whacked Meowth with a fan.
"But no more pizza," said James. Jessie whacked James too. "I'm sick of pizza every meal," said James. His face was red on the place where he was whacked.
"You'll never eat again if you mess up this mission!" said Jessie.
"Can we order Chinese food?" asked James.
"Or maybe some tacos?" asked Meowth. Jessie growled and whacked her two partners once again with the fan.
"Am I the only member of this team who thinks world domination is more important than lunch?! Now let's focus on what really matters and that's how we're capture Pikachu!" said Jessie. Just then, her stomach began to rumble.
"Huh?" asked James and Meowth. Jessie just giggled.
"Now my stomach says its time to eat," said Jessie, taking out a picnic basket. Jessie giggled.
"Yes!" said James.
"Yea! Yeah! We're gonna have a picnic!" said Meowth. But then, Jessie, James and Meowth realized they were being watched. They turned around and saw the Squirtle Squad.
"You guys got a problem?" asked Jessie. The head Squirtle began to speak in its native language.
"Meowth, what's it saying?" asked James.
"I think it said give us your food or else," said Meowth meekly.
"You're threatening us? We're Team Rocket. We threaten," said Jessie.
"Squirtle squirtle squirtle," said Squirtle #1.
"Let's show these little creeps," said Jessie, taking out Ekans' Pokéball.
"I'm game," said James, taking out Koffing's Pokéball. As Team Rocket stepped forward, they fell into a pitfall trap made by the Squirtle Squad.
Elsewhere, Plucky Duck was fuming about how his latest attempt to capture the Squirtle Squad had failed miserably. "It's not fair! I have an opportunity to get a mess of money for capturing some criminals, and there are people who keep getting in my way! And now, Buster and his friends are in my way! He's poisoned Shirley's mind too! He's always trying to make me miserable! I'll show him! I'll show them all!" said Plucky. But then, Plucky saw something that caught his eye. It was a red chest, decorated with black and golden accents and a silver buckle with an ornate oval pattern, resembling the number 1,000 when viewed from the side. "Woo-hoo! A treasure chest in the middle of nowhere! And it's all mine! I'll claim that and the reward money on the Squirtle Squad's heads!" said Plucky. He made a mad dash for the chest. He then tried to open the chest. But unfortunately it was locked tight. "Come on, come on, come on!" said Plucky. He began to try to open it with force. He gritted his teeth and his face turned red as he struggled. Finally, he managed to get it open. It was full of gold coins. "I'm rich! I'm wealthy! Ya-hoo!" said Plucky. But suddenly, something alive popped out of the chest. It was a small, blue-gray, metallic, bipedal Pokémon, with bands of two thin black stripes presented around its torso and between its gold, circular eyes. It had a pair of thin black antennae and a tail, which were bent near the base and tipped with small gold circles. This was the Ghost-type Pokémon known as Gimmighoul.
"BOO!" said the Gimmighoul. Plucky screamed due to the Pokémon startling him. The Gimmighoul then began to rapidly slam the lid of its chest on Plucky's fingers until he slammed it tight and hard on them. Plucky screamed in pain and began to run around, flailing his arms around trying to get the chest off.
"The chest is possessed! Get it off me! Get it off me! Get it off me!" screamed Plucky.
(Insert "Goofball Alert" from Pokémon)
It wasn't long before the Squirtle Squad tied up Team Rocket and began eating their food. Jessie and James were tied to a tree, while Meowth was left hanging from the branch of a tree. "Oh no! They're eating all the rice balls, jelly donuts and eclairs," said Jessie.
"They're drinking all the lemonade," said James.
"This is cruel and unusual!" said Meowth.
"Those aren't Squirtles! They're Piggles!" said Jessie.
"They're starting on the sandwiches and hot dogs," said James pathetically. He turned to Jessie.
"We've gotta do something," said James.
"Wait," said Jessie. She turned to the Squirtle Squad "You Squirtles, how would you like to do a little job for us?" asked Jessie. The Squirtle Squad turned to Jessie. "There's these large group kids and toons with a Pikachu. Our boss would be most appreciative if you helped us capture it. He'd make it worth your while," said Jessie. The head Squirtle spoke to Jessie.
"What did the Squirtle answer?" asked James.
"The Squirtle said forget it, we know humans and toons can't be trusted. Especially since that green duck is always trying to capture us for money," said Meowth.
"So make them trust us!" said James.
"Hmm. That won't be easy. But I'll see what I can do," said Meowth. Meowth turned to the Squirtle Squad. "Squirtles, both of these humans belong to Meowth," fibbed Meowth.
"Belong to?!" asked James angrily.
"They'll never trust you two. You got liar written all over you. Just let me handle it," said Meowth.
"Oh you little . . . ," said James as he tried to break free. Meowth turned to the Squirtle Squad again.
"These humans are my pets. I train them, but they're pretty stupid," said Meowth.
"Squirtle?" asked Squirtle #1. Meowth turned to Jessie and James.
"Don't ever raise my voice to me again, you bad human!" said Meowth. He began to kick James while saying "bad human".
"Squirtle! Squirtle! Squirtle! Squirtle!" said Squirtle #1 to his comrades.
"Squirtle," said Squirtle #2. He then began to lower Meowth.
"Ha! Ha-ha!" said Meowth as he was lowered. Squirtle #1 approached Meowth. "See, you guys can trust me!" said Meowth.
"Squirtle! Squirtle!" said Squirtle #1 as he untied Meowth. The two Pokémon then shook hands. Unbeknownst to each other, Meowth and Squirtle #1 were planning to double cross each other since they had their fingers crossed behind their backs. But who would betray who first, that remained to be seen at the moment. Very soon, Meowth was snacking with the Squirtles. He was eating a rice ball and drinking some lemonade.
"Meowth, what about us? Untie us too!" said Jessie.
"I want a rice ball and doughnut!" objected James.
"Be quiet," said Meowth. He climbed up to his comrades. "We got to keep up this act till the Squirtles trust me, and that's gonna take a little time!" said Meowth. And he finished eating his rice ball.
(End Music)
Elsewhere, Ash and his friends were fishing for new Water Pokémon. Ash stared at Buster coldly. "What? What did I do?" asked Buster.
"Hearing how you used Plucky Duck as a fall guy to get away from Elmyra, that was very cruel of you and Babs to do. Did he even do anything bad to you before it happened?" asked Ash.
"Uh . . . no?" asked Buster.
"You broke ze one rule zat Bugs established een his cartoons, don't antagonize a guy unless zey antagonize you first. Zere were better ways to get rid of Elmyra like call ze police on her," said Fifi.
"But we were nowhere near a phone that time," said Buster.
"But still, that doesn't excuse you for what you did. Now we know why Plucky hasn't really been on speaking terms with you for a while," said Mary.
(Insert "Wreaking Havoc" from Pokémon)
Just then, part of the water began to bubble. "Hey, like, I caught something!" said Shirley. But suddenly, one of the members of the Squirtle Squad came out and squirted Ash and Co. The Squirtle laughed at them.
"It's one of the members of the Squirtle Squad!" said Ash. The Squirtle glared angrily at Ash's Pikachu.
"I zink zat's ze one you zapped earlier," said Fifi. Then, the Squirtle ducked all of its limbs into its shell, unleashing a rapid spin attack on Pikachu. The attacked knocked Pikachu into the river. Just then, a territorial Goldeen appeared.
"It's a Goldeen! Watch out for its horn!" cried Misty. Pikachu swam toward shore, but the Golden was catching up. Seeing how Pikachu might not make it to shore on time, Dizzy Devil took action. He spun into his tornado form and began to move on the water. He went past Pikachu and his spinning began to suck up the Goldeen.
"Goldeeeeeeeeeen!" screamed the Goldeen. Everybody began to hear the sounds of crunching and munching. Misty fainted since a Water Pokémon was getting eaten up.
"Aaaw nuts. Denied of my revenge," said the Squirtle. Pikachu made it too shore and Ash & Fifi helped him up.
"Are you okay?" asked Fifi.
"I'm fine. But the same can't be said about my would be attacker," said Pikachu.
(End Music)
Just then, the three heard the sounds of his friends getting snagged by a rope. "Ash, help!" cried Mary. Ash, Pikachu and Fifi turned and gasped. Most of their friends were tied up by the Squirtle Squad and Meowth.
"Guess who?" asked Meowth.
"Let our friends go!" said Ash.
"Your friends aren't leaving until you give up Pikachu. If you don't, you'll never see them again!" said Meowth. Ash, Pikachu and Fifi growled angrily.
"YOIKS AND AWAY!" yelled a voice. Meowth turned around just in time to get kicked in the face by Plucky Duck, swinging on a vine. He had bandaged his fingers after that scuffle with the Gimmighoul. Meowth yelped as he was kicked and sent flying. He lost a tooth in the process. The criminal cat was sent flying toward Dizzy, who was still spinning. Meowth's left arm was caught in the tornado. He screamed as his arm was getting bitten. Misty woke up in time to witness the carnage. Meowth pulled it out, but the damage was already done. The flesh of Meowth's left arm had been eaten off, leaving only a skeletal arm. Dizzy stopped spinning. Sticking out of his mouth was the skeleton of the Goldeen. Misty fainted again.
"Fifi, stink screen!" said Ash.
"Right!" said Fifi. She fired a stink bullet that exploded into a cloud skunk fumes. Meowth and the Squirtle Squad coughed and held their noses. When the fumes cleared, Ash, the toons and co. were gone.
"NOOOOO!" cried Meowth.
"Aha! You, cat, are in league with the Squirtle Squad! So that makes you guilty like them! Guess I'm gonna get extra money added to the rewards on their heads!" sneered Plucky. Meowth growled angrily.
"Get that duck! Get him! GET HIM!" yelled Meowth. The Squirtle Squad charged at Plucky and began to gang up on him.
Ash and co. made it to the safety of the Pokémon Center. Dizzy was using the dead Goldeen's horn as a toothpick. "Dizzy Devil, this is the second time that you let gluttony take control of you and you ate a Pokémon!" scolded Mary.
"Fishy was gonna hurt Pikachu. Dizzy save Pikachu," said Dizzy.
"I know you did it to save Pikachu. But there were alternatives besides eating the attacker," said Ash.
"You have to learn to control that appetite of yours," said Brock.
"What was Meowth doing with the Squirtle Squad?" asked Buster.
"Meowth no doubt, like, tricked the Squirtle Squad," said Shirley.
"No doubt to help zem steal Pikachu," said Fifi.
"Pika," said Pikachu.
"We have to prove to them who the real bad guys," said Ash.
"How?" asked Misty.
"I'll do it. My Abra and I can use our psychic powers to expose Meowth as the phony he is," said Shirley.
"Abra," said Abra.
"I'm gonna go find them now," said Shirley.
"Please be careful," said Mary.
"We'll try," said Shirley. And she and Abra left the Pokémon Center.
Plucky limped after getting clobbered by the Squirtle Squad and Meowth. "I've had it up to here with those shell heads resisting me! I'll get those wretched reptiles if it's the last thing I ever do!" snarled Plucky.
When Jessie and James heard about what Plucky did to Meowth, they were absolutely horrified and furious. They had Meowth's arm replaced with a prosthetic arm that was covered in fake flesh, which looked like his original arm. "We would've been able to capture the twerps and snatch Pikachu if that green duck hadn't intervened, my pets!" fumed Meowth.
"Some of these toons are more sick in the head than I thought," said Jessie. "
The next time we encounter that duck, he's gonna be a roasted duck dinner when we're through with him!" snarled James.
"About that," said Squirtle #1.
"What's wrong?" asked Meowth.
"I'm afraid you three won't be part of the plan to get that duck off our shells once and for all," said Squirtle #1.
"What do you mean?" asked Jessie. Suddenly, the five Squirtles fired a combined Water Gun attack that knocked them down near a fallen tree trunk. The Squirtles then tied Team Rocket to the tree trunk.
"Did you really think we'd trust you?" asked Squirtle #3.
"All we know is that you are planning to double cross us," said Squirtle #2.
"And for the record, humans can't be pets to a Pokémon," said Squirtle #4.
"Yeah!" said Squirtle #5.
"So, good bye," said Squirtle #1. The Squirtle Squad then pushed the tied up Team Rocket off the cliff. They screamed as they and the tree trunk fell. They landed splash into the river below. Team Rocket gurgled as they were submerged in the water before it came to the surface. They screamed as the log went down some small waterfalls. Very soon, the river became calm again.
"Your idea of making the Squirtle Squad think we're your pets was a stupid idea from the beginning, Meowth!" said James.
"Next time, I come up with the idea to trick somebody to do our dirty work," said Jessie.
"It seemed like a good idea to me," said Meowth sheepishly. Jessie and James' eyes widened when they saw something ahead of them.
"Uh-oh," said both Jessie & James.
"Don't tell me, we're about to go over a huge waterfall," said Meowth.
"Yup," said Jessie.
"Sharp rocks at the bottom?" asked Meowth.
"Most likely," said James.
"Bring it on," said Meowth. The log then began to go over the edge. "Boo-ya ha ha ha!" cried Meowth hysterically. Team Rocket screamed as they and the log hit the bottom with a crash and a splash.
The sun was setting as Shirley and Abra searched the city for any sign of the Squirtle Squad. "Those Squirtles have got to be around here somewhere," said Shirley. Unbeknownst to her, she was being watched by the Squirtle Squad.
"Hey, it's that girl duck who was with those other kids," said Squirtle #5.
"I remember in some of our past encounters with that green duck, he seems to brag that when he defeats, it'll be enough to impress this Shirley girl. She must be her," said Squirtle #3.
"I think I have an idea that'll get that green duck off our shells once and for all," said Squirtle #1. And he began to whisper his plan to the others. Shirley and Abra walked into an alleyway. But suddenly, some gas grenades were thrown to the ground and exploded near Shirley. She and her Abra coughed due to the gas. It was knockout gas so the two fell unconscious. The ones who threw the gas grenades was the Squirtle Squad. They grabbed the two and began to take her to who knows where.
Plucky was recovering in an abandoned warehouse when a Pidgey came into warehouse. "What do you want?" asked Plucky. It showed one of legs, which has an envelope tied to it. "For me?" asked Plucky. He untied the note and grabbed the envelope. The Pidgey then flew away. Plucky opened the envelope and saw it was a note. It said the following:
Dear Plucky Duck,
We have grown sick and tired of you always trying to spoil our fun. So, we kidnapped the girl duck that you've mentioned a couple of times. If you wish to see her again, then meet us at the mountains tomorrow morning for a final battle. If you win, we'll surrender, let the hostage go and turn ourselves in. But if we win, you must leave town and never return. Be there or be square, bub.
Sincerely,
The Squirtle Squad
After reading the note, Plucky angrily tore it up. "That does it! They've gone too far! Nobody kidnaps Shirley and lives!" snarled Plucky. He then began to make a trip to the mountains. But then, he spotted somebody nearby. It was Gary Oak. He was searching for the Squirtle Squad too.
"The Squirtle Squad have got to be around here. Once I find them, I'll claim that reward money and use it to fix my car!" said Gary. He went into an alleyway. Unfortunately, Plucky was waiting for him. He whacked Gary in the head with his mallet, knocking him out. Gary was on the ground with swirls for eyes and a stupid smile on his face. Not only that, he had a huge goose egg on his head.
"Sorry, loser. But only I'm allowed to get the reward money," said Plucky. And he proceeded on his way.
Shirley and Abra woke up. But they were blindfolded and tied up. With their eyes covered, they couldn't use their psychic powers. "Like, where are we?!" asked Shirley.
"Abra?!" asked Abra.
"Welcome to our little hideaway," said Squirtle #1.
"The Squirtle Squad!" said Shirley.
"That's right," said Squirtle #4.
"Why'd you kidnap us?" asked Shirley.
"To use you as bait to lure that green duck," said Squirtle #2.
"We're sick and tired of him trying to ruin our fun," said Squirtle #3.
"Yeah!" said Squirtle #5.
"So we're goading him into a final showdown," said Squirtle #1.
"Why don't I hear Meowth? He was with you last time I saw you," said Shirley.
"We ditched him along with his partners. We weren't really fooled by that fleabag's lies," said Squirtle #1.
The next morning, Ash & co. and the toons were getting worried since Shirley hadn't returned. "Where's Shirley? She's been gone for a long time," said Fowlmouth.
"I'm worried about her," said Buster.
"I hope she wasn't captured by you know who," said Fifi.
"Shirley can't be captured that easily by her due to being a psychic. And with Abra on her side, she can just teleport out of danger," said Brock.
"Well talking isn't going to find her. Searching for her ourselves will," said Mary.
"You're right. Let's go," said Ash. The group then began to search the city. As they were searching, Ash wasn't paying attention to his surroundings and heard something that sounded like somebody saying
"Ow!" He was stepping on Gary.
"It's Gary!" called Ash. Gary slowly got back up, clutching his head. "Ugh. My head," groaned Gary.
"And no wonder. Zat ees one big beump," said Fifi.
"Beump? You said beump," said Gary.
"Oui. Zat's what I said. You have a large beump on ze head from whoever clonked you," said Fifi.
"Oh, bump," said Gary.
"Oui. You better go find a doctor to treat eet," said Fifi.
"I think you're right," groaned Gary. And left to find a doctor to heal his head. Ash and co. resumed their search and wandered til they heard a commotion coming from one of the stores.
(Insert "Team Rocket Motto, Kanto-Johto Version" from Pokémon)
"Alright, freeze!" said Jessie. Jessie was armed with a bazooka and James was armed with a submachine gun. They pointed their weapons at a group of customers.
"These are ice packs we're gunning, I mean ice guns we're packing," said James.
"It's Team Rocket!" cried Customer #1.
"Cool. We're just like those super villains in the comic books, except better looking," said Jessie.
"And even meaner," said James.
"Listen up, we want all the flash powder you've got," said Jessie.
"And a large roll of dentil floss and a gallon of orange sauce," said James.
"What do you need them for?" asked Customer #2.
"You wanna get rid of the Squirtle Squad, don't you? The flash powder will scare them out of town. The floss is for our teeth. And the orange sauce is for when we cook that green duck," asked Jessie.
"The Squirtle Squad," said Ash.
"Plucky," said Buster. Everyone in the store handed Jessie and James what they came for. James was holding a box that read "Danger".
"Chow for now," said James.
"Farewell," said Jessie. She fired the bazooka, which fired cherry blossoms.
"Look," said Customer #3.
"It's snowing!" cried Customer #4. Jessie and James then began to leave on their hot air balloon.
(End Music)
"We have to warn the Squirtle Squad," said Ash.
"Pika!" said Pikachu.
"And Plucky too!" said Fifi.
"Hamton, get Officer Jenny. The rest of us need to find the Squirtles and Plucky before Team Rocket do!" said Ash. Ash and co. then went to find the Squirtle Squad while Hamton went to find Officer Jenny.
Hamton arrived to the police station and frantically knocked on Officer Jenny's door. "Alright, I'm coming," said Jenny. She opened the door and saw Hamton standing outside. "Oh, you must be one of those toons hanging out with that Ash kid. How can I help you?" asked Jenny.
"Name's Hamton. My friends and I eavesdrop on a robbery that Team Rocket did. They're planning to kill the Squirtle Squad and my classmate, Plucky Duck. And not just kill Plucky, they want to cook and eat him. We have to stop them. The others are trying to find the Squirtles and Plucky first," said Hamton.
"Okay. I'll come with you so that I can arrest those crooks," said Jenny. Jenny went into her motorcycle while Hamton went into the sidecar. Jenny then hit the gas and her motorcycle sped as fast as it could go. Up in the sky, in their balloon, Jessie and James were getting some bombs ready.
"These flash blasts will scare the shells off the Squirtle Squad and fry that duck," said James.
"And in the confusion, we'll snatch Pikachu," said Jessie.
Outside their cave hideout, the Squirtle Squad waited for Plucky to show up. Shirley and Abra were there too, still tied up and blindfolded. "Now where could that duck be?" asked Squirtle #2.
"Maybe he turned Torchic and decided to not show up," said Squirtle #5.
"No. He wouldn't if a girl he has a crush on was threatened. I know these type of people," said Squirtle #1. Just then, they heard the bushes rustling. The Squirtles turned to the bushes. Plucky then emerged.
"So you did decide to show up," said Squirtle #1.
"Where us she?! Where is Shirley?!" asked Plucky.
"Over there," said Squirtle #1, stepping aside. Plucky then saw Shirley and Abra.
"But if want to free them, you'll have to beat us!" said Squirtle #1.
"Believe me, that's what I plan to do," said Plucky dangerously.
(Insert "Kanto Wild Pokémon Battle" from Pokémon)
All five Squirtles fired their Water Gun attacks at Plucky. The green duck got out a large umbrella and shielded himself from the water. "Nice try! My turn," said Plucky. He fired an Acme Taser, which zapped the five Squirtles.
"I've become prepared this time!" said Plucky.
"But no amount of preparation is going to save you from getting a can of whoop bleep!" said Squirtle #4. Plucky got out a battle axe and swung it at the Squirtles, intending to behead them. But they ducked their heads into their shells. They then spun around in their shells and hit Plucky, knocking him down.
"Did you really think chopping off our heads will work when we can duck into our shells?!" taunted Squirtle #3. Plucky began to run into the cave hideout of the Squirtle Squad.
"Stop him!" said Squirtle #1. He turned to Squirtle #2.
"Watch the hostages," said Squirtle #1. Then he and three of his comrades chased Plucky into the cave. When they got into, they saw Plucky was no where to be seen. "You can run duck, but you can't hide," said Squirtle #1. But suddenly, the lights they put in the cave got shorted out. It was pitch black and they couldn't see a thing.
"Hey! What gives?!" asked Squirtle #4.
(End Music)
The four Squirtles in the cave began to split up to look for any sign of Plucky in the darkness. As Squirtle #3 looked around nervously, he suddenly felt something grab him and cover his mouth. He was dragged away and fell unconscious due to lack of air. Squirtle #5 was alone in the section of the cave he was in. The blue turtle felt something karate chop him, knocking him out. Squirtle #4 was searching for Plucky when he heard some movement. He fired a Water Gun attack, but it missed its target. "Where are you?!" yelled Squirtle #4.
"Here," said a voice behind him. Squirtle #4 turned around and yelped. It was Plucky Duck, hanging upside down in a superhero costume that was a parody of Batman. He then leapt down and closed in on a fear stricken Squirtle #4. Squirtle #1 was now the only one left.
"You can't hide forever, duck!" said Squirtle #1.
"I don't need to," said Plucky. His voice sounded a bit more menacing. Squirtle #1 looked around for any sign of Plucky. "I am revenge! I am the darkness!" said Plucky. Plucky then showed himself, spreading his cape like bat wings. "I AM BATDUCK!" shouted Plucky. Squirtle #1 fired a Water Gun attack at Plucky, but he dodged it. Plucky threw a duckarang, which hit Squirtle #1, knocking him back. Squirtle #1 tried to tail whip Batduck, but he grabbed his tail. He then threw him into a wall, shell first.
"Impossible! You're supposed to be a pushover!" said Squirtle #1.
"When somebody mess with my girl, they're bound to get punished!" said Batduck. He charged and the two got into a fist fight. Outside the cave, Squirtle #2 had been hearing the commotion and was starting to grow nervous.
"Sounds like my partners are in trouble," said Squirtle #2. Just then, he felt somebody tap his shoulder. "Squirt?" asked Squirtle #2. He turned around until he felt his cheeks being grabbed it. It was Fifi La Fume. The purple skunkette squeezed his cheeks to make him pucker up before forcing a big kiss on his lips.
"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmwah!" said Fifi as she kissed Squirtle #2. The kiss left a pink lipstick mark.
"EEW! GROSS! I'VE BEEN KISSED BY A GIRL! YUCK!" cried Squirtle #2. He began to gag and spit in disgust. Since he was distracted, Ash and co. untied Shirley and Abra. Fifi laughed at Squirtle #2's reaction of being kissed by her.
"Leettle boys are such children. Especially ones who are een ze phase of believing girls have cooties," said Fifi.
"Alright, where are your fellow Squirtles along with Plucky? You're all in danger," said Ash.
"Danger?" asked Squirtle #2. Suddenly, Squirtles #3-5 were thrown out of the cave, all tied up. They landed on top of Squirtle #2.
"Huh?" asked Ash and co. Squirtle #1 was thrown out afterwards. He was covered in some bruises and cuts. And his glasses were starting to crack. And then, Batduck emerged from the cave.
"What in the world?!" asked Misty.
"Plucky's as Batduck, a Batman parody," said Shirley. Batduck wasn't done yet. He charged and began to deliver some hard punches and kicks on Squirtle #1. Everyone was shocked at Plucky's brutality. Suddenly, Batduck delivered a hard punch to Squirtle #1's face, which shattered his glasses in the process. Everybody gasped.
"Boss!" cried the other four Squirtles. Squirtle #1 fell to the ground on his shell. Suddenly, Batduck forced Squirtle #1 up before punching him, knocking him down. He then forced his shelled foe up again and punched him a second time. He kept repeating that process, much to everybody's horror. But before he could do any more damage, somebody yanked him by the cape and began to slam him on the ground. It was Elmyra Duff.
"Stop it! Leave turtles alone! Bad duckie!" yelled Elmyra. Ash decided he couldn't stay on the sidelines anymore.
"ENOUGH!" yelled Ash at the top of his lungs. Everybody stopped after hearing Ash. "No more of this mindless violence," said Ash. He went up to Squirtle #1 and began to help him up his feet. Part of the turtle Pokémon's face was stained with blood dripping from his nostrils. "
These Squirtles aren't true villains. They're like lost children. Abandoned and rejected. They have nobody to show them right from wrong all because their Trainers deserted them. Showing violence isn't going to get them to stop being troublemakers. They just need somebody who will show them love and a Trainer to be their new friends," said Ash. Then, Squirtle #1 began to cry.
"It's true. We were deserted by our Trainers. My Trainer ditched me because I wouldn't follow certain orders. And nobody would take us in. That's why we take out our frustration on other humans," said Squirtle #1. The other Squirtles sobbed as well. Ash then began to hug Squirtle #1.
"It's okay. It's okay. Shh, shh," said Ash. Ash also cleaned the blood off of the Squirtle's face. Mary untied the other Squirtles.
"Did you say you were trying to warn us and the duck earlier?" asked Squirtle #2.
(Insert "Team Rocket Motto, Kanto-Johto Version" from Pokémon)
Before Ash could say anything, everyone heard an explosion. Team Rocket's hot air balloon had arrived. "That blast! It's Team Rocket!" said Ash. Team Rocket began to recite their idiotic motto once again.
"To protect the world from devastation!" said Jessie.
"To unite all peoples within our nation!" said James.
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!" said Jessie.
"To extend our reach to the stars above!" said James.
"Jessie!" said Jessie.
"James!" said James.
"Squirtle Squad, its pay back time for insulting Team Rocket," said Jessie.
"Bombs away!" said Jessie & James as threw two more bombs, which exploded on impact with the ground. Meowth saw Elmyra and sneered. He got out a bomb.
"Hey, Elmyra Dumb!" said Meowth.
"Huh?" asked Elmyra.
"This is for all the times you harassed me, trying to force me to be your pet!" said Meowth. He threw the bomb and it hit Elmyra, exploding. She screamed as she got engulfed in the explosion. She was black as soot and burned. Meowth threw another bomb at her. This time, it exploded on the ground in front of her. The explosion sent her rolling until she stopped near a cliffside above her. Meowth laughed as he threw a third bomb, at the cliffside. The bomb exploded upon impact with cliffside. This caused part of the cliffside to collapse and the rubble began to fall toward Elmyra. She screamed as she was buried in tons of rubble. Ash, his friends and the toons let out horrified gasps. Sure some of the animal toons hated Elmyra for always trying to capture them, but even they were shocked at the brutality.
"This isn't playing like a funny cartoon anymore," said Buster.
"You can say zat again," said Fifi.
"Stay out of this! The Squirtle Squad are my prey!" snarled Batduck.
"Not anymore! We're not just gonna destroy the Squirtle Squad, I'm gonna make you pay for costing me my arm, duck! For tonight, we dine on Squirtle soup . . . and roasted duck!" said Meowth. In their balloon, they also had a cooking machine that built for the purpose of cooking Plucky. Plucky threw some duckarangs, but Team Rocket threw bombs that blew them up. Meowth then threw a bomb that hit Batduck, causing an explosion. He screamed as he was sent crashing to the ground. His costumed was ripped and torn and some of his feathers were blown off.
(End Music)
Meowth threw a bomb at Dizzy Devil. "Die, you walking butcher shop!" said Meowth. Dizzy saw the bomb coming. Suddenly, he swallowed the bomb whole. Meowth laughed. "You fool! You just ensured your death!" said Meowth. The bomb exploded, causing Dizzy to temporarily swell before turning back to normal. Dizzy burped out some flames.
"That's a spicy meatball!" said Dizzy. Meowth was shocked at what he saw.
"What?! But you were supposed to exploded into blood and guts!" objected Meowth.
"Tasmanian Devils are bomb proof," said Dizzy. Meowth growled in frustration. But then, Ash heard Squirtle #1's voice. He saw that he was on his back and couldn't get up.
"I gotta help him!" said Ash.
"Leave him! He deserves to die for hurting Shirley!" said Plucky.
"I will not abandon a Pokémon just because you hate him!" said Ash.
"I'll help you with that," said Shirley. Jessie and James tossed two more bombs. Fortunately, Shirley and Abra used their psychic powers to make them explode before they hit the ground. Ash then picked up Squirtle #1.
(Insert "I Got a Pokémon" from Pokémon)
More bombs were still being thrown. "Here come two more!" said Mary. Shirley created a psychic shield. The bombs exploded upon impact with them.
"Curse you and your psychic powers!" said Jessie.
"I have had enough of you creeps!" said Squirtle #1. He fired a Water Gun attack at the hot air balloon. When the Water Gun hit the basket of the Meowth Balloon, it shook the balloon. Team Rocket yelped. Suddenly, the rest of the bombs rolled into the oven of the cooking machine. Team Rocket gasped seeing this.
"The bombs!" cried Team Rocket. Once all the bombs were in the machine, the door automatically locked and the oven began to heat up.
"Turn it off! Turn it off!" cried James. Team Rocket tried to turned it off, but it wouldn't. And they couldn't open the door either. It was malfunctioning. As the oven got hotter and hotter, the bombs' fuses lit up.
"Hurry!" cried Jessie.
"I'm trying!" cried Meowth. The oven reached maximum temperature and a ding sounded. Right on cue, all the bombs exploded at once. Team Rocket screamed as they and the balloon were consumed in a violent, fiery explosion. When the explosion subsided, there was no sign of Team Rocket being sent blasting off. It appeared they were killed by their own bombs.
(End Music)
Everybody saw that the forest was on fire. "A fire! The blast must've see it off!" cried Brock. Just then, Officer Jenny and Hamton arrived on Jenny's motorcycle.
"If it keeps burning, the whole town could go up in smoke," said Jenny.
"Don't worry, Jenny. I've got an idea," said Ash.
"Huh?" asked Jenny. Ash turned to the Squirtle Squad.
"Listen, this is your chance to redeem yourselves after the trouble you caused. If you Squirtles work together, you can combine your water guns to put out the fire," said Ash. The Squirtle Squad nodded.
(Insert "Pokémon, I Choose You" from Pokémon)
The Squirtle Squad began to fire their Water Gun attacks and began extinguishing the flames. It wasn't long before both Squirtle teams put out the fire and the forest along with the town were saved. Very soon, Officer Jenny was giving a speech to thank the Squirtle Squad. Ash and his friends were present as well. Gary had his head bandaged up by a doctor. "And so, we gratefully award this certificate to the Squirtle Squad," said Jenny. She handed the leader the certificate. He had his sunglasses replaced. "Thank you for saving the town from the fire," said Jenny. Then, the Squirtle Squad was given black & white jackets. "Because of your skill and bravery, we proudly appoint you the town firefighters," said Jenny. The Squirtle Squad were now a team of heroes.
"Squirtle," said the leader.
"And because you Squirtles redeemed yourselves, we hereby withdraw the reward money on your heads," said the Mayor. The Squirtles let out sighs of relief.
(End Music)
"What?! You're just gonna forgive them just like that?!" objected Plucky.
"The Squirtles aren't entirely villains. They haven't been shown any kindness ever since their Trainers deserted them. Now that Ash and co. and I showed them kindness by saving them from Team Rocket, they'll stop playing tricks on people," said Jenny.
"But I was so close to getting that reward money! And I would've succeeded if Elmyra, Team Rocket and those other guys intervened!" said Plucky.
"We've had enough of you, duck! Ever since you came here, you've caused more trouble than the Squirtle Squad in your attempts to catch them! You caused a lot of collateral damage and hurt a lot of people trying to get that money. I now regret putting up that reward because of you," said the Mayor.
"What?!" asked Plucky.
"So as punishment, you will do community work to pay off all the damage that you caused," said the Mayor.
"And that includes working to get the money needed to fix my car," said Gary. Some cops then grabbed Plucky by the arms.
"So time for you to get to work," said Cop #1. And they began to take him away.
"You, Ash, this all your fault! You should've stayed out of my affairs! When I'm done with my community work, I'm gonna make you pay for this!" yelled Plucky. Cop #2 bonked him in the head with his baton.
"Shut up, duck," said Cop #3.
Later, Ash and co. visited the hospital where Elmyra was being treated on Mary's insistent. "Why do we have to come here?" asked Buster.
"Guys, I know most of you hate Mary, but she's a human like me. It's human nature to be concerned about another of their kind. I still remember the terrible state she was in when we dug her out," said Mary. When they peeked into Elmyra's hospital room, they saw that she was in a full body cast. The doctor was outside as well. "How is she doctor?" asked Mary.
"We managed to save her life with the surgeries. When she was first brought here, she suffered a lot of injuries due to that rock slide. At least one arm and one leg were broken. Some cracked ribs, a broken nose and a couple of skull fractures here and there. It's a miracle that she's still alive," said the Doctor.
"Well, she is a toon like us," said Mary.
"Still, those were some serious injuries. Doesn't she have parents to take her home?" asked the Doctor.
"But here's the problem, her parents are far away and don't know where she is. And we have no way to contact our families," said Mary.
"But one thing's for sure, she's going to be here for maybe a couple of weeks," said the Doctor.
After the hospital visit, Ash and his friends were now on the move again. "I hope Plucky's time of community work will give him time to reflect on his actions and stop being a greedy slob," said Shirley.
"I don't know. He worships his mentor, Daffy to the point that he wants to become an exact copy of him," said Hamton. Just then, they saw somebody approach them. It was the leader of the Squirtle Squad.
"Squirtle, Squirtle," said Squirtle.
"What's wrong?" asked Ash.
"Do you two want to come with us?" asked Mary.
"Squirtle," said Squirtle. He took off their shades, revealing his eyes.
(Insert "End of an Adventure" from Pokémon)
Ash chuckled as Squirtle ran toward him and jumped into his arms. "Welcome to our team," said Ash.
"Squirtle!" said Squirtle.
"Okay. Guess I've caught a new Pokémon," said Ash.
"Pi Pikachu," said Pikachu.
"Caught? What do you mean caught?" asked Misty.
"Oh, what's the difference? It's on our side now," said Ash. One more adventure and one more friend. But there's much more excitement waiting just 'round the bend.
(End Music)
But as Ash and co. were walking again, Buster was in deep thought. "What's the matter, Buster?" asked Fowlmouth.
"It's Team Rocket. You saw that explosion of their balloon. We didn't see them sent blasting off again. It looks like that explosion killed them," said Buster.
"Well if it did, I say, good riddance to those dumbbleeps," said Fowlmouth.
"I hope that is the last we've seen of them," said Buster.
"I hope so too. Cause I'm tired ov zose morons trying to come between moi and my Pika Provolone," said Fifi. Pikachu rolled his eyes, due to Fifi calling him that annoying nickname.
(Insert "Team Rocket Unveiled")
Unfortunately, Team Rocket were not finished. The three emerged from the wreckage of their Meowth balloon. They were covered in nasty burns and their clothes were torn and burn. Some of their hair and fur were burned off too. In the case of Jessie, a lot of her red hair was burned off to the point that she was almost bald. Her face was horribly burned too. James was missing a lot of his teeth. The fur on Meowth's butt was burned to reveal his bare butt and the coin on his forehead was cracked. The three thieves saw what they looked like in the reflection of some broken glass shards from their cooking machine. They growled angrily due to losing to the heroes once again.
"Those twerps and toons will pay!" said Jessie.
"One way or another . . . ," began James.
"THEY'LL ALL PAY!" yelled Meowth.

Sneak Peek
On the next episode of "Tiny Toon Adventures in Kanto", Ash and his friends come across a lighthouse along the coast. There, they meet Bill, a Pokémon Researcher and inventor of the Pokémon PC system. He hopes to meet a mysterious Pokémon that was spotted near the area. Meanwhile, Furrball and Megan go on their very first date. Will Bill be able to meet the mysterious Pokémon? And will Furrball and Megan's date be a romantic one? Find out, in "Mystery of the Lighthouse" on Tiny Toon Adventures in Kanto.
I hope you liked this episode as the previous ones. I couldn't resist having the Squirtle Squad's attempt to get Ash and co. to fall into pit backfire. Plucky's encounter with Gimmighouls will be a running gag. Did any of you readers catch the allusion to the Sonic the Hedgehog Satam episode, "Blast to the Past" Part 2? I couldn't resist having Fifi's accent starting to sound like Inspector Clouseau's cause he's one of my favorite French characters alongside Fifi and Pepé. Not only that, Team Rocket aren't holding back anymore when it comes to dealing with Elmyra, seeing how Meowth stooped to murderous levels to try to get rid of her. Throughout the story, Mary Melody wants to try to reach out to her. But due to Elmyra's I.Q., it's going to be very hard. Because of how injured Elmyra is, I can't decide wether her next apperance should be Battle Aboard the St. Anne or Bye, Bye Butterfree. A later episode will have Ash and co. encounter Squirtle's previous Trainer, which was suggested by Nipwort. Next time, will be an adaptation of Mystery of the Lighthouse. Now, since Ash knows he can only carry six Pokémon at a time, the conversation at the beginning is going to be of a totally different subject. As you read, the heroes think Jessie, James and Meowth are dead. They won't find out that they're alive until the St. Anne affair. As you read, Plucky hasn't gotten over how he took the fall for Buster and Babs during the "Spring Break Special". He won't appear again until Tentacool and Tentacruel, wanting the reward money that Nastina offers to kill the Tentacool. See you next time.
