Pokemon Fan Fiction ❯ Team Rocket Strikes Back! An AAML Story ❯ Chapter 5 More Chaos: Part 2 ( Chapter 6 )

Chapter 5 More Chaos: Part 2

 

A/N: (3/3/2005) A short little part here, I decided to leave the story in its original form for the reposting instead of combining the two parts. I added a decent bit of new lines to this part, look out for them.

 

 

Misty's sisters are relieved to see her and the others- they were getting worried because of how late it was. With all that was going on with Team Rocket... who could blame them?

 

Daisy: (Concerned) What took you guys so long? We were beginning to worry.

 

Violet: Yeah, where were you?

 

Lily: (Nudging Misty) Spill.

 

Misty: We just stopped for a while to see an old friend of ours, Duplica. She runs the Imite House. Sorry about being here so late.

 

Violet: Don't worry about it. Come on in.

 

All six people go into the gym, Lily locks the door and activates the new security system.

 

Lily: We should be okay now, I just turned on the alarms.

 

Brock: Alarms? I don't remember you guys having an alarm system here.

 

Daisy: We just like, got it installed a few days ago. We need more security, you know.

 

Misty: Makes sense to me. You guys make any other changes around here since last time?

 

Violet: A few, come on, I'll show you guys. Wait a second... I just noticed something. Are you guys wearing new outfits?

 

Misty: Yep. (Grabs Ash and pulls him next to her) Well, what do you think? I think we look a lot better. And what do think of my new hairstyle?

 

Daisy: It looks nice, Misty. I was beginning to wonder if you were going to wear that ponytail forever.

 

Lily: You two just make the perfect couple, I mean you have similar outfits, but yet different.

 

Violet: I think our little sister here is really starting to grow up. I mean, look, she has already snagged a future Pokemon master.

 

Ash: Snagged? No, I think we just found each other by saying what we truly felt for each other. (Squeezes Misty's hand)

 

Brock: (Surprised) That was deep, Ash.

 

Violet: Come on, I'll show you guys around. (Starts to walk down the hallway, with Ash and Misty following her)

 

Daisy: Why don't you go with them, Brock?

 

Brock: (Stretches out and yawns) I'm really tired, and I got a few things on my mind. Can you show me where I'm going to be sleeping tonight- I just wanna relax and go to bed.

 

Daisy: Sure.

 

Lily: You want something to eat?

 

Brock: No thanks.

 

Lily: Ok then. Good night. (Lily walks off down another hallway)

 

Daisy: Follow me, Brock. (Daisy and Brock walk down a long hallway to a room that looks a living room, but has three futons in it, already opened up)

 

Daisy: There you go. If you need anything, just ask. Good night. (Walks out of room)

 

Brock: Good night. (Sits down on one of the futons) (Thinking to himself) What a day. Something must be wrong with me, I didn't going ga-ga over Misty's sisters like I normally do. Hmm... (Thinks of Duplica) Maybe its her... (Falls fast asleep)

 

In the meanwhile, Violet has finished showing Ash and Misty the redesigned gym. Pikachu runs up and begins talking to Ash.

 

Pikachu: Pi, pikachu!

 

Ash: What's that, Pikachu? You're really tired? Violet, I think its time to call it a night. What do you think, Misty?

 

Misty: (Yawns) I'm tired, too. Yeah, let's call it a night.

 

Violet: Follow me, I'll show you the new guest room. (They all walk to the room where Brock is in) Oh, keep it down. Brock's already passed out.

 

Ash: Thanks, good night.

 

Misty: Good night, sis. One thing, can you wake us up at 8:30? We are going back to the Imite House for a 10 AM show.

 

Violet: No problem. Good night. (Walks out of room)

 

Misty: Before we go to sleep, I am going to see if Togepi is hungry. (Goes into her backpack, gets Togepi out and feeds it. Ash also gives Pikachu a midnight snack, after which Pikachu goes and curls up in the corner of Ash's futon)

 

Ash: What a day. (Lays down on the futon) Your sisters really fixed the place up good.

 

Misty: Yeah, the gym looks nice. Ash, did you notice something unusual about Brock a little while ago?

 

Ash: What do you mean, Misty?

 

Misty: He didn't get out of control in front of my sisters. I wonder if anything is wrong with him?

 

Ash: Don't know. (Yawns) I'm going to bed, Mist. We gotta get up early tomorrow.

 

Misty: Right, Ash. (Walks over and gives him a hug) Good night, Ash. (Misty goes to her futon and quickly falls asleep- Ash also falls asleep rather quickly)

 

The next morning, Ash, Misty, and Brock get up and eat breakfast, then pedal off to the Imite House, making it there a little while before the show begins. Team Rocket meanwhile is finally getting up after a long night of discussing their plan of attack.

 

Jessie: You guys ready, today?

 

James: Yep. Let's go and check out the place before we set up the explosives.

 

Meowth: Right-o. Now you guys help me pull down the tent and get this stuff cleaned up here. We don't want to leave any traces behind...

 

James: Right. (Begins to help Meowth, who is cleaning up their camping area)

 

After a short time, Team Rocket moves out and goes over to a forested area near the Imite House.

 

Jessie: (Looking through her binoculars) James, go up to the door and see what that sign says. It looks a list of show times. We have to make sure no one is in there when the place blows. Besides, it'll be less dangerous if only one of us goes over there.

 

James: Be right back. (James walks out of the forest, into the clearing that is around the Imite House, then up to the door) Hmm... only one show today, 10 AM to 1130 AM. That's good. (Walks back over to where Jessie and Meowth are)

 

Jessie: Well, what did it say?

 

James: It said there is a show today from 10 AM to 1130 AM. Jessie, how are we going to make sure that no one is in there, I mean won't that girl be in there after the show is done?

 

Meowth: I got that covered. (Shows James his cell phone) I got the number for the place, and I will call around 12 Noon, saying that I'm with the police department.

 

Jessie: Then Meowth will tell her to get out and make sure everyone is out of the area, because there was just a report of Team Rocket setting up explosives in the area- it would too dangerous to anyone to stay. Then we wait for her to leave with whoever else is there, and we move in. (Smiles) We'd be dressed as police officers, of course.

 

James: Wow, that's interesting. We'd actually be telling the truth...

 

Meowth: No one will wonder who we are while we set up, then we get out of the area after we set the timers up.

 

James: Got it. We're not using a detonator this time?

 

Jessie: Nope. Boss said on the phone earlier to go immediately to the next target. He found the city in the Orange Islands we're going to hit. All of us move out and go there as soon as possible.

 

James: Great. All of these dealings with the cops is making me nervous, anyway. Let's get to work.

 

Team Rocket waits in silence for 12 Noon, when they can start their evil plans.

 

At the Imite House, Duplica's show begins and runs till 1130, like it usual does on a Tuesday. After the show, all of the people leave, except Ash, Misty, and Brock.

 

Brock: Duplica, why don't you take a break, and come with us back to Cerulean City for the rest of the day?

 

Duplica: (Thinks to herself for a moment) Hmm... I guess I could. I only run one show on Tuesdays.

 

Misty: You gotta a bike?

 

Ash: Otherwise, you'll have to ride on Brock's bike. (Brock smacks Ash in the back)

 

Brock: (Clears his throat) What Ash meant was, that I would happily give you a lift on my bike.

 

Ash: Oww. (Rubs his back)

 

Duplica: Don't worry about it, I have a bike. I'll get my two Dittos and we'll head out. When we get to Cerulean, you guys can show me what Pokemon you have. I forgot to ask and see them earlier.

 

Misty: Sure, no problem. (Duplica walks off to get her bike) Maybe we can go shopping! (Ash and Brock have sweatdrops) Right, Ash?

 

Ash: (Hesitantly) Uh... Sure thing, Misty.

 

Brock: We'll have lots of time. (Trying to set up something for later) Maybe we can all go out to dinner, too.

 

Misty: Sounds like a plan. (Duplica comes back with her bike)

 

Duplica: Ready, guys. I got the place all locked up, so let's ride! (Starts to bike off)

 

Brock: Wait up, Duplica! (Zooms off on his bike)

 

Ash: I guess we better catch up to him, before he runs her off the road.

 

Misty: I think I know what's wrong with him now- he may be in love...

 

Ash: With Duplica? Maybe, I guess we'll just have to see. (Starts to bike off towards Cerulean City) Come on, Misty.

 

Misty: Coming. (Starts to speed off towards Cerulean City) (Thinking to herself) If you are in love, be careful, Brock. Don't do anything or say anything that will make her upset, and don't hit on anyone...

 

The four bicycles zoom down the road towards Cerulean City and are soon out of sight. Team Rocket has been observing the whole scene and is quite happy about what they just observed... but also a little nervous.

 

James: (Nervously) That was the twerps! It's a good thing they didn't see us.

 

Meowth: (Calmly) It don't matter. They did us a favor by getting that girl, Duplica, outta da house. We'll just go over there and set up now, making sure no one is still there.

 

Jessie: Right. James, get changed into you police officer uniform, and we'll go. (Raising her voice) Remember Meowth, no talking, and walk on all fours again.

 

After five minutes goes by, Team Rocket goes up to the house, checks inside to make sure no one is in there using some of the police gear that they had gotten from Giovanni. After doing a final check, they set up the explosives. When they're done, Jessie begins to get excited.

 

Jessie: Ready! Now let's get out of here. The bombs will go off in one hour, unless the motion sensor is tripped. Then the fake phone call message will go off on the phone automatically.

 

James: That's perfect, so that way no one will be in there for sure.

 

Meowth: (Excitedly) Right, now let's get outta here! We are supposed to go to a secret dock nearby and get on an unmarked boat that is waiting for us.

 

Team Rocket moves out, as the timer slowly counts down. Team Rocket arrives 55 minutes later at the dock, and board the boat. They quickly turn on the auto-navigation system and head out as fast as the boat can go. They do not want to be anywhere near the explosion site when the bomb goes off. Back in Cerulean City, Ash, Misty, Brock, and Duplica have just arrived at the city limits and are quite tired from the strenuous bike ride.

 

Ash: (Exhausted) Lets take a breather, now that we're here.

 

Duplica: (Out of breath) Right. That was sure a haul, and I haven't used my bike in a long time.

 

Brock: (Looking at Duplica) You guys want something to drink? It's on me.

 

Misty, Ash, and Duplica: (Simultaneously) Sure.

 

Duplica: (Thinking to herself) Brock is being really nice, and he was nice to me yesterday, a little too friendly- I can't complain, though. No one's perfect... I wonder what he feels toward me...

 

About ten seconds later a huge boom is heard and shock waves vibrate through the air. Sirens begin to blair out and people around Ash and company begin to panic.

 

Duplica: What on earth was that?
