Episode Forty-Four
Last time, Amanda had a fierce battle inside the remade Viridian City gym, where she attempted to win an Earth badge. In order to win it, she had to get by Gary Oak, the newly appointed leader of the gym. The battle began with Amanda's Pikachu going up against Gary's Eevee, and after an intense opening round, Pikachu emerged as the winner. The match eventually came down to Gary and his Blastoise facing Amanda's Arcanine. Even though Arcanine had a type disadvantage, it found a way to take down Blastoise and win the match for Amanda, securing the final badge necessary in order for her to qualify for the Pokemon League tournament. With all eight badges in hand, Amanda and her friends then started to rush off to Pallet to inform Professor Oak of the news.
As we start things off today, we find Michelle's father locked up in a cell and looking disappointed.
"I just want to be able to see Michelle, even is he has to come here to do it." He said. "That's not too much to ask, is it? IS IT?!" As he was the only one in the cell, however, he was talking to nothing but thin air. His yelling had gotten the attention of the two Team Rocket grunts that had been assigned to guard him.
"Pipe down in there!" One of them yelled. Mr. Greenwood turned to face them.
"You just have to let me out of here and see my daughter, even if only for a little while." He begged.
"Not a chance." Said the female grunt. "And, if you don't stop with your whining, we'll make sure you never see her alive again. Is that what you want?" Mr. greenwood nervously shook his head.
"Then I suggest you keep your big Meowth shut and stay in your cell." Said the male grunt. They both walked away with firm looks on their faces.
"Oh, Michelle, I need you more than ever right now." He said. Meanwhile, Amanda and her friends had stopped to take a bit of a rest. Part of the reason was because they had been walking for a while, but another part of it was so Amanda could polish up her badges.
"A good trainer always has to make sure that their gym badges are kept nice and clean." She said. "Isn't that right, Pikachu?"
"Pikachu!" her partner cried, which meant 'You said it.'
"Just why are we going back to Pallet Town, anyway?" Mark asked. "I would've thought we would be off to the Pokemon League."
"The problem is that we don't know where it is." Said Michelle.
"I bet the professor does." Said Amanda. "We can always ask him when we get back to the lab."
"Good idea, Amanda." Said Michelle. "If anyone knows about that kind of thing, Professor Oak would."
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Mark cried. Pikachu, Eevee and Elekid also gave delightful cries of their own and they resumed their trek. About an hour later, they had almost reached the entrance to Pallet Town when they saw a draconic, bipedal reptilian Pokémon with light orange skin flying out of the sky speeding towards the group.
"What is that thing and why is it flying so fast?" Michelle wondered.
"Beats me." Said Mark.
"Everybody, duck for cover!" Amanda cried. The three of them lowered their heads and the Pokemon flapped its wings furiously as it prepared to complete its descent. Once it had landed on the ground, Amanda and her friends raised their heads again and looked at the tall creature.
"Who's that Pokemon?" Michelle asked. Amanda quickly took her Pokedex out.
"Dragonite, the dragon Pokemon. Dragonite is capable of flying faster than the speed of sound, being able to circle the globe in sixteen hours."
"I don't think my Fearow or Pidgeotto are capable of flying that fast." Said Amanda. Dragonite reached into his pouch and pulled out a small hologram. He looked toward Michelle and handed the hologram to her.
"For me?" Michelle wondered with curiosity. Dragonite nodded and motioned for her to open it.
"I kind of wonder what this could be about." Said Amanda.
"I'm wondering the same thing." Said Mark. Michelle was about to open it, but held back, causing Dragonite to be confused.
"I don't understand. Why aren't you opening that up?" Amanda asked.
"For all I know, this could be something bad." Said Michelle.
"You won't know unless you actually find out." Said Mark.
"You two are right." Said Michelle and she opened the hologram up.
"Hello there, twerpette." The hologram started. "You're probably wondering about the whereabouts of that father of yours. Rest assured, he's perfectly safe with us. We won't lose him like you did." The look on Michelle's face changed from worry to anger.
"I don't think I like that look." Said Amanda.
"Pika pi." Pikachu said, which meant 'Me neither.'
"If you want to find your father, then you'll have to come to our base on Yellow Island." The hologram continued. "Of course, we won't tell you exactly where in the base he is. You'll have to figure that out for yourself. Toodles." The hologram ended, and Michelle quickly closed it up.
"Is there a rewind button for that?" Mark asked. Michelle was beyond angry now.
"I can't believe Team Rocket would stoop so low as to kidnap my father!" she screamed. "I swear, if they lay a single hand on him…"
"Now, Michelle, just calm down." Said Amanda.
"Eevee." Eevee squealed, which meant 'Yeah, Amanda's right.'
"I'm trying to, Eevee." Michelle said gently to her partner. She then turned back to face Mark and Amanda and resumed her anger. "How can I be calm?! This is a very serious situation here! I have to find him, and you two are coming with me!"
"Okay, but I think Professor Oak should know about this." Said Amanda.
"Amanda has a point." Said Mark. Dragonite flew back up into the sky and took off as fast as a jet engine. The trio ran as fast as they could towards Professor Oak's lab.
"Does the professor even know about her dad?" Amanda asked Mark.
"If he doesn't, he'll know now after Michelle explains the situation to him." Said Mark. Inside the lab, Ash, Misty and Brock had given Professor Oak a brand new type of Poke Ball known as a GS Ball. It had a gold and silver coloring on the top and bottom half of the ball respectively, and the initials G.S. were inscribed in the center. Ash had been asked to collect the ball for the professor during his travels in the Orange Islands.
"I thought I would've known something about this, but I just can't crack the mystery." Said Oak.
"Well, if you can't solve it, then who could?" Misty wondered.
"My friend Kurt in the Johto region's Azalea Town would know more about this than I would." Said the professor. He was about to go into more detail when he heard his doorbell ring.
"Looks like I have more guests." He said, and he went to answer the door. When he opened it, he was greeted by Amanda, Mark and Michelle.
"Hi, professor!" Amanda cried excitedly. "I have all eight gym badges now."
"That's wonderful, Amanda." Said Oak.
"However, what I received isn't so wonderful." Said Michelle. She held up the hologram she had received in front of the professor.
"Where did this come from?" Oak asked.
"A Dragonite came up to us and gave it to her." Mark answered.
"I see." Said Oak. "I think the other visitors I have right now should hear about this." He led the group over to where Ash, Misty and Brock were.
"Hey, Amanda, it's good to see you again." Said Ash. "How has your gym challenge been going?"
"I just beat Gary to get the last badge I need in order to qualify for the Pokemon League." Amanda answered. Ash was a little jealous, but he was happy for her.
"Congratulations." He said. "Beating the Viridian gym isn't an easy task." The professor cleared his throat.
"All right, everyone, I think you all ought to hear the video message that Michelle received on this hologram earlier." He said. He opened it up and the video that the trio had heard on it earlier started playing again. But this time, Ash, Misty and Brock were able to hear it too. When the video concluded, they were just as shocked as Michelle was.
"So, Team Rocket's been behind your father's disappearance this whole time." Said Brock to Michelle.
"I thought Team Rocket only kidnapped Pokemon, not people." Said Ash.
"For the most part, yes, but sometimes they can capture humans as well." Said Professor Oak. "Now, this is an important mission that the six of you are about to embark on. It won't be an easy mission, however, since there will likely be plenty of Team Rocket members guarding the place. If you're successful, though, then Michelle will have her father back once everything is all said and done. Now, do any of you have a baby Pokemon on hand?"
"I have my Elekid." Said Amanda.
"And I've got Togepi." Said Misty. Both trainers allowed their respective babies to play with each other inside the lab as long as they didn't touch anything.
"I would suggest that both of the babies stay behind." Said Oak. "This mission is way too dangerous for them, and with both Elekid and Togepi still being very young, both of them could easily be captured or even worse."
"But Professor, if we leave them here, who's going to watch them?" Amanda asked.
"I will." Said the professor. "I still have my own work to do, but I don't mind a little babysitting. Plus, this'll give Elekid and Togepi a chance to get to know each other."
"He's right, you know." Said Brock.
"All right, Togepi, you be good for Professor Oak while my friends and I tackle a rescue operation." Said Misty. Togepi happily chirped its name, which meant 'I will.'
"That goes for you too, Elekid." Said Amanda. Elekid nodded his head.
"Now, in order to get to this location the hologram mentioned, it would be easier if you both used a flying Pokemon." Said Oak.
"I have my Fearow." Said Amanda.
"And I have Charizard." Said Ash.
"Excellent." Said the professor. "However, six of you would be too much weight for either of those Pokemon to handle at once. You'll have to split up into two groups of three. One group will use Fearow, and the other group will use Charizard."
"My group will fly on Fearow." Said Amanda.
"Brock, Misty and I will go on Charizard." Said Ash.
"Well then, I wish all of you the very best of luck on this mission." Said Professor Oak.
"Thanks, Professor." Said Amanda. Elekid ran up to its trainer and nudged her leg.
"Elekid." He said, which meant 'I wish I was coming with you.'
"I know, but you heard what the Professor said. It's way too dangerous for you." Amanda said gently. "We'll be back as soon as we can, okay?" Elekid nodded and ran back to Togepi. Amanda, Michelle, Mark, Ash, Misty and Brock all left the lab together.
"All right, guys, full speed ahead to Yellow Island!" Ash cried excitedly.
"Hold on a second, Ash." Said Misty.
"As much as I love the enthusiasm level in your voice, we don't even know where that place is." Said Michelle. Brock quickly flipped open his guidebook.
"According to this, Yellow Island is west of where Cinnabar is." He said. "Since we're starting from here, all we have to do is fly directly south and then make a right turn."
"That shouldn't be too tough, right, Pikachu?" Ash asked his partner.
"Pika!" Pikachu cried, which meant 'Team Rocket won't know what hit them!'
"What are we waiting for, guys? Let's get a move on." Said Misty. She then looked specifically at Ash and Amanda.
"Both of you call your Pokémon out so we can get going." She said.
"Right." Said Ash and Amanda at the same time. Both of them grabbed their Poke Balls and started to throw them.
"Fearow!" Amanda cried.
"Charizard!" Ash cried.
"I choose you!" they both cried at once. Both of the powerful flying types appeared in an instant flash of light. Fearow gave a loud screech, while Charizard gave his trademark roar.
"Your Charizard looks quite strong there, Ash." Said Amanda.
"Thanks, although there were a few bumps in the road." Said Ash.
"Correction, Ash, you've had quite a few issues with Charizard." Misty pointed out. "You lost to Ritchie at the Pokémon League because your Charizard refused to battle his Pikachu, remember?"
"That was a while ago." Said Ash. "Charizard's much more controllable now."
"You know, Ash, your Charizard isn't the only Pokemon that's had some obedience problems." Said Michelle.
"What do you mean, Michelle?" asked Ash.
"Amanda had the same issues herself with Fearow for a while." Michelle answered.
"But now, Fearow and I are real pals." Said Amanda.
"That's good." Said Ash. Brock then broke up the conversation by clearing his throat.
"Pardon my interruption, but we really need to get a move on to Yellow Island." He Said. Amanda, Michelle and Mark mounted themselves on top of Fearow while Ash, Misty and Brock carefully got onto Charizard.
"Okay, Fearow, we have no time to waste. I need you fly high into the air and chart a course for Yellow Island." Said Amanda.
"That goes double for you, Charizard." Ash instructed. "We have to get to that island pronto." Both Fearow and Charizard acknowledged their trainers and nodded. They then took to the sky and set off towards their destination.
"So, Ash, how did your trek through the Orange Islands go?" Amanda asked.
"It went quite well." Ash answered. "I had a tough battle with Drake at the end, but Pikachu and I came through in the clutch, didn't we, buddy?"
"Pika!" Pikachu cried, which meant 'We sure did!'
"Just who exactly is this Drake person?" Michelle wondered.
"He's the gym leader on Pummelo Island." Misty answered. "He was also the Orange League champion until Ash beat him."
"It came down to my Pikachu against Drake's Dragonite, and Pikachu ended up winning." Said Ash.
"Your Pikachu must be pretty strong if it was able to beat a powerful Pokemon like Dragonite." Said Mark.
"My Pikachu and I have been through a lot together, but it's won a lot of tough battles and I'm very proud of him." Said Ash.
"It seems like you definitely have something in common with Amanda, then." Said Michelle. "She's been through a lot of tough battles with her own Pikachu too."
"And just like yours, my Pikachu has gotten the job done a lot of the time too." Said Amanda. As Charizard and Fearow continued to fly high in the air, a Gyrados sub was swimming through the water. Occupying the submarine were Jessie, James and Meowth.
"Looks like the twerps aren't the only ones heading to Yellow Island." Said Jessie. "Full speed ahead, team!"
"But, Jessie, we've been pedaling all day trying to get to this place." James complained.
"And my paws could use some pausing." Said Meowth.
"Quit whining, both of you." Jessie said firmly. "We're supposed to prevent those kids from carrying out their mission, but if we can get Pikachu for the boss on top of that, it's an added bonus."
"All I want right now is a rest." Said James.
"Meowth too." Meowth added.
"Keep pedaling." Jessie ordered. "We'll take a rest once we get there." James and Meowth sighed, but did as they were told. Up in the air, Amanda and Ash were continuing their conversation.
"What kind of adventures have you had on your journey, Amanda?" Ash asked.
"I've certainly had some interesting ones." Amanda answered. "We've done Pokemon races a swell as other kinds of cool things. Of course, we've also had our fair share of run-ins with Team Rocket."
"Ah, so you've also encountered Jessie, James and Meowth." Said brock.
"No, not those clowns." Said Mark.
"Our run-ins have been with Conrad and Sally." Said Michelle.
"Who are they?" Ash wondered.
"They're also part of Team Rocket, and they've been after us for quite some time now." Said Amanda. "They've been trying to steal my Pikachu and Michelle's Eevee, but we make sure they come away empty handed every time."
"I guess I'm not the only one that's had problems with Team Rocket." Said Ash. Both groups continued onward via air to get to where they were headed. Meanwhile, Conrad and Sally were already on the island and were keeping an eye on several television monitors in a control room.
"Once those kids get here, it'll be curtains for them and their Pokemon." Said Sally.
"How are they going to carry out their rescue plan if we ambush them?" asked Conrad.
"The simple answer is that they won't." said Sally. "They'll both end up prisoners like our little guest over there on the top monitor." The screen in question showed Mr. Greenwood getting more nervous with each passing second.
"Oh please, somebody help me before it's too late!" he cried. Conrad and Sally snickered.
"I hope he realizes that any attempt made at helping him won't end up well." Said Conrad.
"Especially considering that his daughter is among the twerps." Said Sally. "Come on, Conrad, time to give those kids a warm welcome to the island."
"How are we going to do that?" Conrad wondered.
"By using that warp tile right over there." Said Sally, and she pointed to a tile in the top right corner of the room they were currently in. "Although, there is one small flaw. That tile isn't like other warps where it takes you to a fixed spot. This one could take us anywhere."
"I suppose we'll just have to hope for the best." Said Conrad. Both of them stepped on the tile, and much to their relief, they ended up at the entrance of the base.
"That was definitely lucky." Said Conrad.
"Now all we do is stay here and await the twerp's arrival." Said Sally. Fearow and Charizard, meanwhile, continued soaring through the sky at their own pace. Misty, however, was getting a little impatient.
"Can't Charizard and Fearow go any faster?" she asked.
"Misty, if we try to do that with all of us riding them, they'll just get worn out quicker." Brock explained.
"Yeah, Brock's right on that." Said Michelle. "I mean, I want to get to Yellow Island myself, but the Pokemon are doing the best they can to get us there. We're just going to have to be a bit patient." In the lab, both Elekid and Togepi were watching Professor Oak conduct his work. Of course, since they were both just babies, they got bored really quickly.
"Elekid." Said Elekid, which meant 'What should we do now?' Togepi thought for a minute before getting an idea.
"Toge-pri!" Togepi cried, which meant 'Let's play tag!' The two baby Pokemon happily ran around the room, with both of them tagging the other. In their excitement, however, they ran right into a shelf that was full of books, some of which ended up falling to the floor.
"What was that?" Oak asked. He got up from his workstation and quickly ran over to where he kept all of his books. There, he found that a couple of them hand landed on the babies. He quickly picked up all the books that had fallen and put them back where they were supposed to go.
"Are you both all right?" he asked the two baby Pokemon.
"Elekid." Elekid answered, which meant 'We're both fine.'
"That's good, but both of you must be more careful if you're going to play around in here." Said Oak. "These books aren't toys, you know. They're all things that I need for my research, and I can't let anything happen to them." He returned to his work, but not before putting both Togepi and Elekid in a different part of the lab so that they wouldn't get into any mischief. In the sky, Fearow and Charizard were still hard at work carrying their passengers toward the island that they were supposed to end up at. Everything was going peacefully until both Pokemon suddenly put on the brakes.
"I don't understand. Why did we stop?" Michelle wondered.
"Look over there." Mark said. He pointed to a flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto that were flying directly in front of them.
"I guess that's why both Fearow and Charizard stopped." Said Ash.
"We'll have to let them pass through first before we can continue." Said Brock. Thankfully, there weren't very many Pokemon in the flock, and they soon started on their way again. In the base, Mr. Greenwood's level of worry was getting higher and higher.
"Come on, Michelle, I'm counting on you." He said to himself. He was quite tired of being locked up and longed to be allowed out. For right now, though, all he could do was stare out the window on the wall into the outside world.
"My sweet baby girl, if you can hear me, please hurry and get to me as quickly as you can." He said. "I don't know if I can survive much longer in here." He let out a sigh of desperation as he slunk back into the corner he had been sitting in. Meanwhile, Charizard and Fearow were still flying high in the air. While everyone was excited about their upcoming mission, they were also feeling a bit nervous. Michelle, however, was the most nervous out of everybody.
"Is something wrong?" Misty asked her.
"What if something bad happens to my dad before we get to him?" Michelle asked. She looked like she was on the verge of tears.
"Team Rocket may be bad people, but I highly doubt they would hurt your dad." Said Ash.
"I would certainly hope not." Said Michelle.
"Although, it's possible that they could be using him for some sort of evil plan of theirs." Said Brock.
"That would be the worst possible scenario." Said Mark.
"What if they did hurt him, though, Mark?" Michelle asked. "What if they did something so bad to him that I wouldn't even be able to recognize him?! I can't even imagine the kind of state he'd possibly be in." She then started crying, which caused Eevee to get concerned.
"Eevee." She squealed, which meant 'Don't cry, Michelle. Everything will be fine.'
"Do you promise, Eevee?" Michelle managed to ask through her tears. Eevee nodded and wiped her trainer's tears away with her tail.
"Thanks, Eevee." Said Michelle. A couple of hours later, both Fearow and Charizard started their descent towards Yellow Island.
"It looks like we're getting close, guys!" Mark exclaimed. Pikachu looked out through the binoculars Ash had given him and pointed excitedly.
"We're just about there." Said Ash. "Charizard, Fearow, get ready to land." Fearow and Charizard nodded and sped downward toward the island. They both landed very close to the base.
"Well, we're here." Said Mark. Ash and Amanda got out their Poke Balls.
"Thanks for the help, Charizard." Said Ash.
"You too, Fearow." Said Amanda.
"Return." They both ordered. The flying types were sucked into their balls via red light. All six of them looked at the base and gulped nervously.
"This is it, everyone. No turning back now." Said Brock.
"Are you ready to go in, Pikachu?" asked Amanda. Pikachu nodded, but he was feeling just as nervous as everyone else.
"Let's do this." Said Mark. They had only taken a few steps when they ran into Conrad and Sally.
"The only thing you twerps are doing is handing over your Pokemon." Said Conrad.
"No way!" cried Michelle. "You two had better step aside right now or else there's going to be trouble."
"Did I just hear one of the twerps say trouble?" came a voice.
"Who's there?" Amanda demanded. A small whirlpool formed in the water, and out came a Gyrados submarine. Jessie, James and Meowth popped out from the inside.
"Not you three again!" cried Misty.
"It just can't be." Sighed Ash.
"Oh yes it can, twerp, so prepare for trouble." Jessie declared.
"And with two groups of you, that makes the trouble double." James answered.
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all people within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Conrad!"
"Sally!"
"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth, that's right!"
"Team Rocket!" all six trainers cried at once.
"What do you losers want this time?" Michelle asked.
"You know very well what we want." Said James.
"I got a little offer for ya, twerps." Said Meowth. "You all want to get into that base, right?"
"That's right." Said Amanda.
"And both of your groups have a Pikachu with you, right?" Sally asked.
"Yeah, that's right too." Ash answered.
"Well then, the offer is simple." Said James. "We'll be more than happy to let you inside our little secret area here for the price of both of the Pikachu."
"We'll also take the Eevee as a bonus." Meowth added.
"What do you say, kiddies?" Sally retorted.
"Don't do it, guys!" Brock warned.
"If you think you're getting your hands on Pikachu, you've got another thing coming!" Ash cried. "Pikachu, use your Thunderbolt!" Pikachu got ready to start his attack but Brock put a stop to that.
"There's ten of us plus a Meowth all in close proximity to each other. If Pikachu uses an electric attack, we'll all get shocked, not just Team Rocket." he explained.
"I'm still not letting them get Pikachu, though!" Ash insisted.
"We'll just have to try a different attack." Said Misty. "Staryu, go!" She got ready to throw Staryu's ball, only for her Psyduck to emerge from his own ball.
"Psyduck!" he cried. Misty just let out a sigh.
"Why me?" she said.
"Don't worry, Misty, my own Psyduck is the same way." Said Michelle.
"Looks like we're battling." Said Jessie. "I choose you, Lickitung!" The pink normal type appeared in a blaze of light.
"Go, Victreebel!" cried James. The grass type appeared instantly, and immediately tried to take a bite out of James.
"Not me, you stupid thing. Attack them!" he cried.
"Aren't you ever going to train that thing properly?" Meowth yelled.
"Golbat, go!" Conrad cried.
"Arbok, come on out!" Sally cried. The flying type and poison type both appeared instantly.
"What do we do now?" asked Michelle.
"I have an idea." Said Ash. "Brock, Misty and I will handle Jessie, James and Meowth. Amanda, you, Michelle and Mark take care of Conrad and Hallie." Sally didn't take too kindly to the botched pronunciation of her name.
"It's Sally!" she cried.
"Yeah, whatever." Said Ash. Both groups turned toward their respective Team Rocket enemies and got ready to battle.
"Fearow, I choose you!" Amanda cried. "Fearow appeared in a blaze of white light.
"Wing Attack!" Amanda ordered. Fearow flew in towards Golbat and got ready to strike with his wings.
"Supersonic." Conrad commanded. Golbat shot white circles at Fearow, causing Wing Attack to stop and Fearow started circling around Amanda looking for food.
"Call it back, Amanda. That Supersonic has Fearow all confused!" Michelle cried. Amanda recalled Fearow and sent Kadabra out into battle.
"Poison Sting, Arbok!" Sally ordered. Arbok shot purple poison needles at Kadabra, striking the psychic type.
"Kadabra!" cried Amanda.
"Yes! Success at last!" cried Sally. The side effect of the attack caused Kadabra to be poisoned.
"I know how to get rid of that." Said Amanda. "Kadabra, use Recover!" Kadabra glowed brightly, and all the damage as well as the poisoning were removed. Sally grunted, but Amanda gave a smirk.
"Psybeam attack!" Amanda yelled. Kadabra gave Arbok a powerful Psybeam, knocking it out.
"Charmander, go!" Mark cried. He threw the fire type's ball, and Charmander instantly appeared.
"Wing Attack." Conrad ordered to Golbat. Golbat flew in for a direct strike, which Charmander dodged.
"Fire Spin!" Mark ordered. Charmander shot a circle of fire around Golbat, trapping it and engulfing it in flames.
"Electabuzz, time to finish it off." Said Michelle. Her own electric type appeared and gave a loud cry.
"Thunderbolt attack!" Michelle ordered. Electabuzz gave a powerful bolt, shocking Golbat, Arbok, Conrad and Sally and sending them flying into the air.
"We're blasting off again!" they cried. DING!
"One more loss for their side and one more win for ours." Said Amanda. "Great work, everyone." The three of them returned their Pokemon and went to see how Ash's group was doing. Charizard had just launched a Flamethrower at James' Victreebel, burning the grass type.
"Victreebel!" James cried.
"Pikachu, send them flying with Thunderbolt!" Ash cried. Pikachu launched a powerful jolt of electricity to send Jessie, James and Meowth soaring.
"No matter how many times we try to take down those pesky twerps…" Jessie started.
"We always end up…" James continued.
"On the losing side." Meowth finished.
"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" they all cried. DING!
"Let's hope we don't run into those three again." Said Ash.
"Okay, time to begin the rescue operation." Said Michelle. The six heroes started running off towards the entrance of the base to get ready to attack. What kind of danger lies ahead for both of our hero groups? Stay tuned to our next episode and find out!
