Pokémon: Silver Journeys

Wired for Battle

Another letter perfect day as our heroes head for Azalea Town. But lurking nearby, is a trio that spells trouble.

Soon, Meowth pokes his head out of the bushes.

Meowth: What's the plan for catching Pokémon today?

Jessie: We run ahead of them...

James: And dig a big hole.

Meowth: The pitfall plan! That's one of my favorites! I love that plan!

Jessie: Quiet!

James: Quiet! Team Rocket sneaks off.

Levi: Would it kill you three to come up with something original?

Jessie: This'll be perfect.

James: No witnesses.

Meowth: Yeah.

???: Pardon me. Team Rocket looks and sees a stranger standing to their left.

Muramasa: Are you three looking for a Pokemon battle? Jessie and James get out their Pokéballs while Meowth preps his claws.

Jessie: If you're looking for one...

Meowth: You came to the right place.

Suddenly, Team Rocket sees something red dashing through the tree tops, worrying them. And they scream for their lives when they finally see it.

As for our heroes, they stop when they hear Team Rocket screaming.

Riley: Huh?

Marina: What's the matter?

Riley: I thought I heard something.

Karen: Like what?

Riley: Sounded kind of like a scream. You hear anything, Sneasel?

Sneasel: Snea. (Uh-uh) She shook her head.

Jimmy: Hey. Why do you have Sneasel out of it's Pokéball?

Riley: I wanna give all my Pokémon some exercise. It can't be good to stay inside the Pokéballs all the time.

Karen: How very responsible of you.

Meanwhile, it's revealed that Team Rocket was completely decimated by the stranger and his Pokemon.

Meowth: Good thing we took it easy on you.

James: Uh, sir, maybe you'd care for a rematch?

Jessie: What do you say?

Meowth: I say let's get outta here!

Arbok, Weezing and Meowth run for their lives with Jessie and James not far behind as the stranger's Pokemon lands.

Muramasa: They're not making Pokémon trainers like they used to.
