Chapter 125

James meets Gardenia,

The pokemon trades

And Spiritomb

Ash's new Chimchar, which was once Paul's, did start living happily with Ash and the others. He found out that Ash was kind, caring and understanding to his pokemon; nothing at all like Paul who abused and pushed his own pokemon too hard. Chimchar ended up crying because he had a kind trainer, but he was happy because he had new friends. And he made lots of new friends with Ash's and Tomo's other pokemon at Prof Oak's lab, especially with Ash's Charizard and Tomo's Chimchar because of the bitter lives they had before meeting Ash and Tomo, so Chimchar was happy at last and knew he had a better future ahead of him.

Today the gang were visiting Emeragrove Town; it was a beautiful town in the countryside. To their surprise, Gardenia was visiting the town. Gardenia promoted pokemon battling so she was having pokemon battles all over the area. Right now some kids, who were fans of Gardenia, were talking to her.

Gardenia and the gang were not the only ones visiting Emeragrove Town, Team Rocket was there too. They were there to plan what to do now. They were dressed in normal clothes so no one would recognize them as Team Rocket. "So what are we doing today?" asked Meowth. Jessie and James thought for a moment. "I suggest that we take our time today with training," said James "after all we have gained new pokemon for ourselves, and they need to get stronger for us". "Very true especially the ones we received from headquarters yesterday" said Jessie. "What you got some pokemon from the boss?" said Meowth, in surprise. "Yeah apparently their old trainer, a fellow agent, didn't want them anymore and then the boss decided to give them to us" said Jessie. "Why would that guy not want them anymore?" asked Meowth. "Oh he's some snob who keeps on switching pokemon partners; he is never satisfied" said Jessie. Meowth snorted. "What pokemon are they anyway?" he asked. Jessie sent out a big grey and white cat, with long whiskers, a long swirly tail and purple topped ears. This pokemon was a Purugly, the evolved form of Glameow, and it was female. James sent out a big purple and cream coloured skunk pokemon. This pokemon was a Skuntank, the evolved form of Stunky, and it was male. "Wow nice pokemon," said Meowth "that guy really is a snob for not wanting these pokemon". So it was agreed that the rocket trio was going to train their new pokemon today.

James went into a big field away from town and he called out his Skuntank. "Okay Skuntank I want you to show me what moves you've got" said James. He called out his Weezing to battle Skuntank. Skuntank proved to be quite a strong battler; it knew scratch, focus energy, poison gas, screech, fury swipes, smoke screen, toxic, slash, flamethrower, night slash and the egg move crunch. "Wow you are very good Skuntank," said James, giving Skuntank a stroke on the head, "I can't believe that your old trainer didn't want to keep you; there is nothing wrong with you at all". Skuntank felt happy being with James. "Well then let's start on teaching you some new moves. Now let me think what will be the best moves for you?" He had a think. "I know, iron tail and poison jab". He called out Breloom and Cacnea; Breloom knew iron tail and Cacnea knew poison jab.

Before they did anything, they heard a scream. The scream had come from Gardenia and she ran over to Cacnea and Breloom. "Oh my gosh your Cacnea is so cute and your Breloom looks really strong" she said. She gave Cacnea a hug despite the spikes. James thought Gardenia was crazy. "Excuse me but who are you?" asked James. "Oh many pardons," said Gardenia, putting down Cacnea, "I'm Gardenia the gym leader of Eterna City and I really love grass type pokemon a lot". "Oh well I can understand that a bit because I like grass type pokemon myself" said James. "You a grass pokemon trainer yourself?" asked Gardenia. "Not exactly because I like having different types of pokemon you see" answered James.

While Gardenia was talking to James, the gang and the kids watched them speak. "Hey that man there is James from Team Rocket" Ash whispered to the others; he could tell it was James. "Really, what shall we do?" whispered Dawn. "We'll wait and see what happens," whispered Ash "we can't scare these kids here". So the gang just kept watch on what was going to happen. Just then Gardenia and James walked over. Gardenia explained that she and James will have a tag battle against Ash and Tomo. The gang was surprised to hear this, but Ash and Tomo agreed to battle; since James wasn't doing anything bad, there was nothing to get worried about.
