Prepare for Love: A Team Rocket Story

•Chapter 1•

   It was a beautiful sunny day in Violet City in the region of Johto. The heroes have just arrived in Johto and Ash and his friends are on their way to the Violet City gym for Ash's first badge.
   "Hey Brock," said Ash. "Who is the gym leader here again?"
   Brock pulled out a pamphlet from his bag and flipped through a few pages.
   "The gym leader of Violet City is the flying type gym leader, Falkner." read Brock aloud.
   Ash pondered this for a minute then spoke up.
   "Well Pikachu would be a good choice up against a flying type."
Pikachu puffed out its chest proudly.
The gang continued to talk about their battle strategies when suddenly-
"AHHHH!" Everyone yelled as they plummeted into a hole.
"What the? Why are we in a hole?" exclaimed Ash as he grabbed for his hat.
"Why do you think?" said Brock and Misty in unison. Pikachu rolled its eyes.
Then, there was the sound of laughter coming from above them.
"Prepare for trouble!" said a woman's voice.
"And make it double." said a man's voice.
"Let's skip dis part, shall we?" said another voice with a thick accent. "The readers of dis story don't want to read all of da motto."
"Team Rocket!" said Ash and his friends.
"Pika pi!" said Pikachu in a not so friendly tone.
"Oh, A+ for guessing who we are twerps." said the woman. She was wearing a white uniform with a large red R on the front and had long, oddly shaped magenta hair.
"Now hand over your precious Pikachu and we'll be on our way." said the man. He was wearing the same uniform as the woman and had shoulder length lavender hair.
"Yeah right, Team Rocket. Like we'd do that."
said Ash, standing protectively in front of Pikachu.
"Well I guess we'll take it by force." said the voice with the accent. A Pokémon was speaking. He was cat-like and had a shiny gold coin on his forehead.
The man brought out a net and scooped up the Pikachu. Pikachu squirmed to get out but the net was sticky and Pikachu was stuck to it.
Team Rocket cackled at their catch.
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" yelled Ash from the hole.
Pikachu sent out waves of electricity and expected to be free of the net. But the net didn't break.
"Isn't that cute, Jessie." said the man. "Pikachu thinks it can get out."
"I agree, James." said Jessie. "You see twerps, we've decided to use sticky and electric proof nets now." She turned to the talking Pokémon and James. "Meowth, James, I think our work here is done."
The trio turned around and returned to a hot air balloon shaped like Meowth, when they heard an angry voice behind them.
"Charizard, I choose you!" yelled Ash. He, along with Brock and Misty, has gotten out of the hole. Ash threw a pokeball and out came Charizard, fired up for whatever it was about to fight.
"Charizard, use Flamethrower on Team Rocket!"
Out of fear, James dropped the net that Pikachu was in and ran away. Jessie and Meowth yelled at him, furiously.
"James you idiot, you forgot Pikachu!" Jessie yelled after him. Meowth went to grab the net, but it was too late. Charizard launched its Flamethrower at Jessie and Meowth and they were scorched.
"Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow!" screamed Jessie and Meowth and ran towards the balloon where James was hiding.
Pikachu had chewed its way through the net and ran by Ash's side.
"Now Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!"
Once again, Pikachu sent out its Thunderbolt in the balloon, where the trio were hiding in. The balloon lit up with sparking electricity, along with Team Rocket, and the balloon exploded.
"Looks like Team Rocket is blasting off again!" said the trio as they flew through the air.
"Oh Pikachu, I'm glad you're okay." said Ash and hugged Pikachu.
"Come on guys," said Misty. "The gym is going to close if we don't hurry."
The heroes all took off towards the gym without any further thought.
