Rocket Tales
Part 3






This is the story that Kinak uses for a sample in Pokebattle, so you may have already read it.
Other than that, have fun and maybe chuckle every so often : )
                                               -James
 

    "So, Team Rocket turned him to crime?" the trainer asks.
    "Well, it would seem that way." Jenny nods.

    *************************************

    James paces back and forth, intent on hatching a new master scheme.  Suddenly it strikes him...
    "Baby pokemon don't zot you like the adults," he explains to Koffing,  "maybe, just maybe, we'll
be able to sneak into that little pokemart over by the gym.  They we can swipe their darling little
pokemon and scram."
    "You up to it Koffing?" he asks.
    "Koffing!" it wheezes its battle cry.  "Koff, Koffing?"
    "Yes, you're right, we'd better case the joint first.  I don't know what I'd do without you."

    A few minutes later...

    A balding man with a slight gut and fire-engine red suspenders walks into EV9's Pokemart.
    "How may we help you?" a bored looking woman behind the counter asks, "We have the largest
array of Eevee's and Evolution Stones anywhere.  And at the best prices."
    "Hmmm...." the man rumbles, "I'd like something in extra, extra small.  I'm looking for a baby
pokemon to grow up with my pumpkin.  Nothing but the best for my little princess."  He laughs
heartily.
    "Well, we have a baby Eevee and a juvenile Eevee in stock.  We also have eggs ranging from
Caterpie to Eevee and back again." the woman droans off the sales pitch from memory.  "The
nursery is right over there.  And the eggs are on the top shelf to your left."
    He makes his way over to the nursery, two Eevee playing merrily inside of it.  Glancing around,
a smile slowly creeps over his face as he begins to finalize the plans.
    "Yessss... break in through that window there.  Grab the Eevees, maybe some evolution stones.
I could have my own personal Eevee ARMY!" he mutters to himself, rubbing his hands together.
    "Wee dle wee dle wee" a tiny voice comes from his stomach.  (translation: "Yeah right, maybe in your
dreams.")
    "Yes exactly weedle.  We'll be back tonight to steal thousands of dollars from under their noses."
    He turns back to the attendant.  "Perhaps tomorrow.  After I check out the stock at Oak Labs."
    "Fine by me, its not like I work on commision." the attendant mutters as he leaves the store.

    That night...

    James is happily dreaming away about conquering the world with his Eevee army.
    "Mmmmm... Eeeveeeee... Flar... Jolt... eon... Vapor... What's that smell?!?!?" he comes away with a
start.
    "Koff, Koff, KOFFING!" Koffing reprimands him.
    James blinks several times.  "When I conquer the world I'm getting a better alarm clock."  He climbs
out of his sleeping bag and begins collecting his possessions.
    Koffing - Check.  Weedle - Check.  Potion - Check.  Pokeballs - Check.  Fishing Net - Check.
Official Team Rocket Membership Card - Check.  All purpose disguise Kit - Double Check.  Lucky
bottlecap - Check!
    James puts Weedle and Koffing back in their pokeballs and makes his way to the Pokemart.  He darts
from behind a telephone poll to behind a parked bicylce, then dives into the garbage heap under the window
he's targeting.
    James carefully opens the window with a crowbar (well, as carefully as you can open a window with a
crowbar) and hurls himself into the store, becoming hopelessly entangled in the curtains.
    "What, who's that?" an unfamiliar voice asks.
    "Mmmm Mmm Mm MMm mM." James manages through the curtain.
    "Huh?" the voice asks, "what are you doing with that curtain."
    "Mm Mmm Mmmm Mm MMmmmMM." James adds.
    "HA!" james cries, finally sending the curtain flying, "JAMES!"
    "AAAAAAAA!" the hapless janitor screams.  "Pokemon thieves!" and runs from the room.
    "Hey, come back!  You didn't let me finish!  *sigh*  Oh well, maybe next time"
    James moves through the room, dropping evolution stones into his fishing net.  "I knew I forgot
something." He mumbles.
    He moves on to the nusery.  "Come here baby Eevee, come to James.  Yes, that's right.  Aren't
you so.... OW! Let go of my finger, you little brat!  OWWW!"  An eevee is thrown into the air.  James
holds out his fishing net. *swish*
    James reaches for the other eevee with his free hand.  "COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!"
    A blinding light comes shining through the front windows.  "This is Officer Jenny.  Come out immediately."
    The front door opens and Jenny shines a flashlight at James.  "Drop the Pokemon, miscreant."

    "GO KOFFING!"
    "Do you never learn.  GO GROWLITHE!"
    "Koffing, Smoke Screen!"  The Room fills with dark black smoke.
    "Growlithe, emmmm.... no... fire... no... flame... no... Drat!"
    "Don't have the heart to blow this store sky high, Jenny?  Koffing, Sludge attack!"  Growlithe's head is
covered in disgusting slime.
    "Growlithe, Return!  Go Pidgey!"  The tiny bird flaps forth.
    "Pidgey, what?  But, you..."
    "Pidgey, Whirlwind!"  The smoke screen is forced out of the open window.  "Surrender now or face
the concequences."
    Hmmm... James thinks looking at the floor.  A fire stone.  That should do nicely.  "Koffing, Smoke Screen!"
    "Give up now, *hack* *cough* pidgey..." Jenny cocks her eyebrow, confusedly at James.
    James sits on the floor, trying to strike a spark off of a fire stone with an old bottlecap.
    *BOOOOOOOOOM!*
    "Looks like I'm blasting off again!" James and Koffing fade into the night sky, staring through the hole
in the bottom of his fishing net.
