_pikachu: Thanks for reading! LOL, sorry I made a few mistakes there, but Misty and May knew Tracey from high school, that's how they know each other.

Chapter 10: Team Rocket and Lawrence

As Tracey continued his journey to Mikan Island where he would win his second Coral Eye Badge, Jessie, James, and Meowth, our evil Team Rocket trio, continued in their Feebas sub to Electric Island, where their boss had established a new hideout.


"Jessie, have you ever realized that we have positvely no Pokemon?", said James with a confused look on his face.

"Well, ya got me!", said Meowth, in his raspy and ugly voice.

"No one asked you! Besides the only move you now is Growl, and it is useless in battle!", said Jessie.

"Oh well, you two keep on peddling, I'm gonna go fix myself a Vanilla Pina Colada.", said Meowth, as he got out from the peddling machine and went to fix himself an alcoholic beverage.

"Oh, do whatever you want, you alcoholic cat!", said James, as he continued thinking about what Pokemon would suit them.

Suddenly, Jessie saw their map and calculated that they should be directly by Electric Island now.

They got out of the sub, Meowth with his pina colada, and all ready to head out to land.

Jessie and James and Meowth looked around for a Rocket Grunt to signify that the hideout was near. Suddenly, they both saw two bug type Pokemon that seemed to be staring directly at them.


"Oh, those are Wurmple!", said James, as he saw the cute bug type.

"Exactly the Pokemon Team Rocket is looking for!", said Jessie.

"I want mine to evolve into the evil and strong Dustox!", said James, as he got a Pokeball ready.

"I want mine to evolve into the beautiful and beautiful Beautifly!", said Jessie, as she thought of Beautifly.

"We'll have to weaken them before we catch them!", said James.

"But we don't have any Pokemon, except for this useless cat, but it doesn't know any attacks.", said Jessie, as Meowth continued to drink its Pina Colada.

"Oh well, we've got to try our luck!", said Jessie, as she and James threw their Pokeballs. Jessie's got the left, more femanine Wurmple, and James' hit the right, more masculine Wurmple. They moved once, twice, and finally three times; and then pinged.

"All right! We both caught Wurmple!", said Jessie, as she took her Pokeball and put it on her waste, and James did the same.

"Heh, now you two can actually battle!", said Meowth, in his usual raspy tone of voice.

With two new Pokemon, Jessie, James, and Meowth continued to the hideout, there they saw a Rocket Grunt waiting outside.

"Welcome, Rocket elites.", said the Grunt.

"Welcome, Grunt", said Jessie, as the grunt seemed annoyed.

"The Boss Giovanni left for Viridian City on the mainland, it seems that he had some interesting business to attend to.", said the Grunt.

"Where is Lawrence?", asked Jessie.

"He's downstairs", said the Grunt, as he used his shovel to dig a tunnel entrance. Jessie, James, and Meowth, who finished his Pina Colada, climbed down through the entrance, as the Grunt did the same.

The underground secret base was small. It was lavish. There was a blue couch with a coffee table in front of it. There was a television, and it looked a lot like Tracey's cabin.

On the couch sat a fat, stocky man, with greenish, blond hair, smoking a cigar.

"Lawrence, how awful to see you!", said Jessie, as she held her hand out, and Lawrence kissed it.

"Hello, Madam Jessie, how awfully tempting!", said Lawrence.

James, annoyed, didn't even greet Lawrence.

"Well, Jess, it seems that we meet again here. I must give my sincere apologies for losing track of Moltres; my overhead fortress is huge, but for so me reason it is not immune to fire attacks. I have to spend another million to rebuild it.", said Lawrence.

"Why don't you go and catch some Pokemon in order to battle the bird, smartass.", said James.

Jessie looked at James, and Lawrence chuckled.

"Fool. Don't you know that the legendary birds can't be battled with regular Pokemon?", said Lawrence, as James ate his words.

"Anyway, where were we? Yes, um, I talked to Abagail this morning. She says that she tried to put a Voltorb to guard the Zapdos on this very island, but when a kid caught the Voltorb, the Zapdos escaped.", said Lawrence.

"WHAT?", screamed Jessie. "Why did that old coot put a Voltorb in front of the electric bird!"

"Wait, we know a kid who has a Voltorb!", said James, as Jessie also remembered.

"Hmm, so he's the ones that caught the Voltorb that Abby put; hmm. I see. Abagail is busy, she is the gym leader of Tangelo, she doesn't have time to find rare electric types.", said Lawrence.

"Where is Articuno? Is it just flying around?", asked James.

Lawrence ignored him, but when Jessie asked the same question, he answered "He was last sighted heading for Mikan Island. There was a wierd mummy creature flying on him."

"Well, we'd better scram, the birds have to be caught and tamed", said James, as he got out and helped Jessie. The Grunt dug the hole again and remained inside with Lawrence, while Jessie, James, and Meowth, and their new Wurmple, headed out to the Feebas Sub, and started to follow Tracey to Mikan Island.
