It was a nice and quiet evening in the wonderful land of Sinnoh. The Starly were in their nest sleeping. The Bidoof were running around and playing in the creek. Three people were falling from the sky. The Kricketot were humming a sweet melody. The…wait a minute, three people falling from the sky.

There was indeed three people falling from the sky and they made a large crash, miraculously surviving the impact. They emerged from the ground. Two of them were human while the other was a Pokémon. It was Team Rocket, the evil gang that steals Pokémon, but fail miserably.

Jessie, James, and Meowth got up and started to cough up dirt. Jessie then started to rant. "Unbelievable, another failed mission to capture that twerp's Pikachu. This is getting annoying."

James started to dust himself off. "Well, in retrospect, we were low on money and couldn't afford the insulation needed for the robot."

Jessie grabbed James' collar and shook him violently. "That isn't an excuse to not have worked harder to get it."

Meowth dusted himself off as well. "Chill Jess, no need to pop off James' head." Jessie let go of James and then went over to Meowth.

"This is mostly your fault, you know." Meowth was in utter shock and rage.

"What do you mean this is my fault?!"

"You were the one who was suppose to handle the money, but you go behind our backs and use it for your own selfish reasons."

"It isn't my fault that I was hungry, and I wouldn't have been hungry if it weren't for the fact that you cook like a Loudred in a kitchen."

"What is that suppose to mean?!"

"It means your cooking is terrible."

The two had lightning shooting out of their eyes while James just stood there feeling awkward in the situation. True, they get into a lot of fights, but it gets annoying after the last few blast offs. James, after watching them fight for a couple minutes, said, "It really is all of our faults."

Jessie and Meowth stared at him confused. "What do you mean?" They said in unison.

James shrugged. "Well, we already had Pikachu in the shock-proof cage. It's just that sense we were so elated that we captured it, we never realized that one of the twerpette's Pokémon managed to get into the robot." Jessie and Meowth stood there pondering what he said, then thought back to what happened when they caught Pikachu earlier today.

FLASHBACK

Team Rocket has just captured Pikachu in a shock-proof cage and were riding away in their robot. The entire thing was bulky and blue with the Team Rocket logo on the front.

Ash, Dawn, Piplup, Buneary, and Brock were chasing down the villains. "Team Rocket, give me back Pikachu!" Ash yelled angrily.

Jessie stuck her tongue out at him. "Fat chance, twerp. Pikachu is going to our boss and there is nothing you can do."

Ash growled. "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!"

Pikachu nodded. "Pi-ka…chuuuuuuuuuuu!" He fired the attack, only for it to be ineffective.

James laughed. "You think were stupid enough to not put you into a shock-proof cage." Pikachu grumbled. "Meowth, full speed ahead."

"Meowth, I'm on it." He accelerated the engine and the robot was going twice as fast.

The gang stopped after watching the sudden burst of speed. "Oh man, now will never catch them." Dawn said.

"There has to be someway to catch up to that machine." Brock said.

Dawn suddenly notice something was missing. "Guys, where's Buneary?" Ash and Brock both looked to see that, indeed, the rabbit Pokémon has disappeared.

Piplup pointed his flipper in Team Rockets direction. "Pip-lup." They looked to see that Buneary was on the machine and broke into a conveniently attached vent.

"What's Buneary doing?" Dawn wondered.

"She must be trying to save Pikachu." Brock suggested.

"Well, I hope she does." Ash said.

As for Team Rocket, they were singing a merry tune… "We got Pikachu. We are going to be rich, yo ho!"…which was horribly pitched, making Pikachu cover his ears in annoyance.

Out of the corner of Pikachu's eye, he saw the air vent open. Buneary popped out of it quietly and gave Pikachu a cute wink. "Pika!" He said quietly, happy to see Buneary rescue him and a bit embarrassed by the wink. Buneary hopped on over to the cage and tried to unlock it. However, the task proved to be difficult without trying to make any noise.

Meowth looked at the screen in front of him and saw Buneary in the reflection. He gasped and yelled, "Guys, that twerpette's Buneary is in here!" They turned and were shock to see it in here.

"Quick, let's get it." Jessie yelled. James and Meowth nodded and the three jumped at Buneary.

With quick thinking, Buneary fired an Ice Beam, freezing them in place. She then grabbed Pikachu's cage and used Dizzy Punch to break through the window. They landed safely and Buneary brought the cage over to the gang.

"Pikachu, you're okay." Ash exclaimed as he unlocked the cage. Pikachu jumped into Ash's arms and hugged him. "Buneary, thanks for rescuing Pikachu."

"Pika Pi-ka." Pikachu thanked as well. This made Buneary blush madly and she covered her face with her fluff, giggling real hard.

"Now Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!"

"Pi-ka…chuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" He fired the electric attack at the robot and in a flash, it explodes.

"Looks like Team Rockets blasting off again!" Team Rocket yelled as they disappear in the sky with a light shines for just a second.

FLASHBACK END

Jessie and Meowth return to reality after the flashback. "Oh, now I remember." Meowth stated.

Jessie whacked him on the head. "Of course you remember. It only happened like fifteen minutes ago."

"My point is that we should have been more careful. We should have taken the time to plan everything out before we tried to capture Pikachu." James explained.

"Well how were we supposed to know that the twerpette's Buneary was going to get into the robot?" Jessie retaliated.

"Personally, I'm not that surprised." Meowth said while rubbing his head. "That Buneary does have a crush on Pikachu. I would have done the same thing if a beautiful Skitty or female Meowth was in trouble." Meowth then started to stare off into space. Jessie, once again, hit him on the head which aggravated him. "Will you quit hitting me on the-huh, guys look."

They looked off into the distance to see a bird flying towards them. It had a white, feathery head which extended to look like a beard and a yellow beak. The rest of it was red feathers and a little white fluff that looked like a button. It was also caring a sack. "It's the Team Rocket Delibird." They said in unison.

"De De." Delibird landed in front of them, only to get crowded by them.

"Hey Delibird, you wouldn't happen to have any food in there, would you?" Meowth asked. Delibird pulled something out of its sack: a letter.

"What, that's it?" James groaned. Meowth took the letter and Delibird took off immediately.

Jessie started to chase after it. "Wait, do you at least have some food to spare?" She suddenly tripped on a rock and went face first into the ground. By the time she got up, Delibird was already gone. Jessie signed depressingly.

"Meowth, what's in the envelope?" James asked.

"I don't know, let me check." He unsheathed one of his claws and opened the envelope. "Oh my gosh, it's from the Boss." Jessie bolted over, very interested. "Here, let me read." He started to read it with his Boss voice:

Dear Jessie, James, and Meowth,

I am disappointed with your progress. You still haven't captured that Pikachu, you haven't captured any other new Pokémon, and you have been wasting your checks on nonsense. I should cut your checks right now. However, sense I've been in a good mood lately, I'll give you one last chance. Inside this envelope, you will find a check for a hundred grand. Spend it wisely or else.

Signed,

Giovanni

Team Rocket were shocked by the amount of money they now have. Jessie grabbed the check and did a happy jig. "Yes, we're rich. Let's get some food." Before she could run to the nearest restaurant, Meowth scratched her face and swiped the check.

"Hold it, Jess. You heard what the boss said, 'Spend it wisely or else.' We can't just spend this kind of money on food."

"Meowth's right." James added on. "We could use the money to finally capture Pikachu."

Jessie signed. "Oh, alright. But what are we going to spend it on? Even with insulation, they'll just find a way to destroy the machine."

"Good point. What do you think we should do, Meowth?" James asked.

Meowth was thinking real hard on what to spend the money on. He then thought back to what happened the last time. After a few minutes of thinking, a light bulb went off in his head.

"I got it, and this one is fool proof."

"Really, what?" Jessie and James asked in unison.

"Huddle up and I'll tell you." They got near Meowth and he started to say something that was inaudible. After he explained the plan, they all had evil grins on their faces and laughed manically. "Look out, Pikachu. After this week, you will be under new management."
