    "Well," Jenny said "we do know Team Rocket had a lot to do with his corruption."
    "Team Rocket, those no-good Pokemon thieves?" the trainer asks.
    "One and the same" Jenny responds.

    "Gotta get away, gotta get away." James, Koffing, and Weedle were running deeper into Viridian Forest trying to elude notice.
    "Gotta lay low."
    "Koffing" It nods in agreement.
    "Weeedle?" it asks quizically.
    "Not now weedle, we've got to... Wow, what's that?" James' gaze shifts to the mansion sprawling in front of them.
    "Weedle dle.  Weedle, weedle." weedle answers [translation: it would seem to be a house, we should avoid it like the plague]
    "Right, lets go inside." James nods confidently.
 
    Two men in black uniforms stand at the front door.
    "Hey, I heard some runt got the heat for Matt robbing Oak Labs."
    "Well, I suppose we can't loose them all."

    "Excuse me," James asks, "can I ask who lives here."
    "Who are you?"
    "James, the little runt."
    "Hmmmm..." the guards look at each other, "he looks harmless, better let him in.  Just keep your pokemon in their balls."

    James found himself in a large room.  A man cloaked in shadows sat on a balcony overlooking the rest of the room.
    "Yes? Why have you come here?" the man asks.
    "Well, I was walking through the woods..."
    "CUT TO THE QUICK!  I'm a very busy man."
    "Um. Well, are you Team Rocket?"
    "No, there are many members.  I just happen to be the most powerful."
    "Do you accept Pokemon Trainers on the run from the law?"
    "Depends why they're on the run."
    "Ummmm... welll.... could I join?"
    "WHY would I let YOU join Team Rocket?"
    "Well, I already stole things from Oak Labs."
    "Really? Let's see."
    "Pokeball... go." James whispers.
    "Weedle?" the pokemon asks looking around at its surroundings.
    "You call that a haul?" the man chuckles to himself.  "Alright, I'll let you in as a trial member.  You'll meet the crew tomorrow.  For now just get some sleep."

    James was rudely dumped out of bed in the morning and handed a satchel filled with "everything he'd need."
    "We'll be gone for a while, you and Kinak hold down the fort." a guard from the night before said quickly.  He tossed a Earth Badge to James. "Make sure no riff-raff get in OK?"
    "Umm... what?"
    "Notimegottago!"
 
    A few moments later a very groggy looking man about twice James' age walked in to the room.
    "Hello, *yawn* you must be James.  I'm Kinak, I'll be acting as The Boss until he gets back."
    "Alright, what is Team Rocket and what am I supposed to do?"
    "Hmm... we're a gigantic band of pokemon thieves... and I think you should do some more theiving.  Here, I found this Nidoran in the storage below this base.  It should help you out." Kinak handed him a pokeball.
    "I can't go back to Viridian, can I?  I'll get nabbed for sure."
    "Ummmm... Go to Stone Town, theres a new PokeMart there just teaming with Eevees and Evolution stones.  I'm sure you'll find it right quick.  You need some decent pokemon if you're going to defend the gym."
    "Oh, do I get paid for this?"
    "You get bailed out of Jail." Kinak nodded.
    "Why is that not reassuring?"
