"And make it Double." A woman said stepping from Behind him.

"What do you want?" Shan asked stepping back.

"To infect the world with devastation," He said.

"To scatter the people with in this nation," She said

"Tachi,"

"Naru,"

"Ekans," it said and moved forward.

"You want to battle, Fine. Go Rattata." Shan threw out Rattatas' ball.

"Rattata," it said and walked forward.

"You mean to tell me that you are going to battle with that puny little rat." Naru laughed. Shan glared at her.

"Don't underestimate my Rattata. Rattata tackle it now." Running forward he hit the Ekans hard causing it fall back and faint.

"What the? Hey what's going on?" Naru screamed.

"Ah, she's doing this Naru. Shes frozen us somehow." Tachi said.

"Your right I am and now you will pay for what you did to my Rattata." Some rocks by Shans feet began to levitate besides her. Her hair also began to float up around her face.

"Oh my god look at her eyes!" Naru screamed. They were glowing bright blue. Suddenly, invisible hands threw Naru into a tree. Naru fell to the ground un-continuos. Tachi watched with anger.

"Big mistake girl," Tachi said but Shan wasn't listening. Tachi was slammed into the ground hard. Both of the Rockets laid on the ground, unconscious. Shan grabbed her head and screamed. It felt like it was going to exploded. She pushed the pain out of her mind and ran to Rattata. Picking him up, then she ran into the city.

"Help." Shan shouted as she ran into the Pokecenter. A nurse with pink hair ran in to the lobby.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"My Pokemon, Rattata and Charmander," Shan said out of breath. The pain was almost more than she could bare. "Help them." The nurse looked at Rattata. Shan could barley focus her eyes.

"Ok we'll take care of them." Shan handed over her Pokemon and watched helplessly as three Chanseys took them into the back.

"Any, thing I can do," Shan said with shallow breath, another sharp pain shot threw her head..

"You can be more responsible! You young Pokemon trainers need to watch out for your Pokemon. You don't let them battle until their in this condition. What were you thinking."

"I know," Nurse Joy raised her hand.

"I don't want to hear it. You need to be more careful." Joy turned to walk away. A dizzy felling came to Shan and the last thing she heard was Joy shouting for a gurney.

"She's waking up." Shan heard a male voice say. Slowly she opened her eyes, the pain was there, but it wasn't as bad.

"Were am I?" Shan asked.

"You're in the Pokemon center." The Doctor said. Nurse Joy was had a worried face.

"I'm so sorry," She said stepping forward. "It's my fault you fainted. I shouldn't have yelled at you.

"It wasn't your fault Nurse Joy," Shan said sitting up. The doctor stepped forward.

"You should rest. My name is Dr. Tompson. The only thing that was relay wrong with you was a relay nasty bite."

"Yea, I was attacked by three Rattacates in the woods."

"You were lucky."

"Luck had nothing to do with it, Rattata helped me."

"Well what else happened?" He said picking up his bag.

"Team rocket, I was attacked by them on my way into the city. Rattata fought of an Ekans."

"You let your Rattata fight an Ekans. Are you nuts." Joy shouted.

"Now Joy, let her finish. She's already heard your lecture." Dr. Tompson said.

"Well Rattata KO'd it right off. But then they sent out a Fearow and a Coffing. They both beat Rattata. Then one Rocket member kicked him." Shan trailed off.

"Then what?" Joy asked.
"I, uh, don't remember." Shan hung her head down.

"It's ok. I've bandaged your leg and you should only feel a little pain when you walk on it. That should pass in a few days." Dr. Tompson said turning to the door. "I have to go Joy. I'll see you later."

"Good bye Doctor." When he left Joy turned to Shan.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't, it wasn't your fault."

"So how did you get away." Shan swung her legs over the bed and got up.

"Uh, Where's my vest?"

"Its hanging on the chair," she said pointing toward it. "Why don't you tell me? I'm just trying to help."

"I can't Nurse Joy. I'm not even sure how I got away," Shan put on her vest.

"Call me Joy."

"Are my Pokemon doing ok Joy."

"Caterpie had nothing wrong with it. Charmander is resting right now." Shan looked up at Joy.

"And what about Rattata? Is he ok?" Joy frowned.

"His wounds were very serious, but he'll be ok in the morning. He has unfortunately lost part of his ear."

"Can I see them."

"Sure follow me."

Shan followed Joy to the recovery room. When she saw Rattata Shans eyes filled with tears, walking over to him she laid her hand on his bandaged head.

"I'm sorry," Shan said. "If I had done something sooner you wouldn't be hurt. It's all my fault."

Shan looked around and found Charmander who was laying in the bed next to Rattata. Her tale and right front claw were bandaged. She opened her eyes and chirped out a week "Charr."

"Charmander get some sleep my brave girl. I'm so proud of you for taking on that Rattacate" Charmander laid her head back down and went back to sleep.

Shan felt a hand touch her shoulder. "Excuse me," Joy whispered. "They'll be fine but for now you should wait in the lobby, try to get some sleep."

"Yea, Maybe your right." Shan bent down and kissed Rattata on his bandaged head and did the same to Charmander. "I'll be back guys. You just take it easy."

Shan walked out into the Waiting room followed by Joy.

"Don't worry Shan," Joy picked up a pokeball from the Counter "they'll be ok. Hears your Caterpie."

Shan took the ball and tossed it to the ground and Caterpie came out.

"Hi Caterpie. Crawl up my arm and rest on my shoulder." Caterpie obeyed.

"You look hungry." Joy said.

"No I'm fine," her stomach growled, causing her to blush in embarrassment. "Uh, maybe I should get something."

"There is a restaurant about a block over."

"Thanks Joy," She gave Joy a worried look.

"I've already told you that they will be fine," Joy smiled "You really care about them a lot don't you?"

"Of course I do." Shan said petting Caterpie on the head. "I'm their trainer and we're a team."

"Prie," it said in agreement.

"I guess I'll go and eat then, thanks Joy. Come on Caterpie lets go get something to eat." She turned to the glass door and stopped short, outside it was pitch black.

"How long was I out?"

"About five hours." Joy said.

"Five hours? Man I have to watch it."

"Watch what?"

"Nothing." Shan walked out the door.

Outside, streetlights illuminated the dark streets. Caterpie was laying on Shans backpack. The wind was blowing slightly. Shan walked past shop after shop. The power was week now. She had never used her power like that before.

"Caterpie, I think I'm going to be out of power for a while."

"Prie," Caterpie said crawling down Shans arm.

"Hey, be careful. You don't want to fall off."

"Prie," Caterpie returned to its perch on Shans Backpack.

When she came to the restaurant it was completely empty except for a guy behind the counter.

"Hi," he said as she walked in.

"Hi, are you still open?" She asked.

"Yep, we stay open until one."

"What time is it?"

"Its 11:00. What can I get you?" Shan sat down at counter and Caterpie crawled down her arm onto it. "Oh you're a Pokemon trainer huh?"

"Yea, my other Pokemon are at the center. Do you have blueberry pancakes?"

"Yep, they'll be done in about fifteen minuets." Shan watched as he went back into the kitchen.

"And a tall glass of milk to please." He disappeared in to the back.

"Priee." Caterpie said.

"Well it's just me and you," Shan said. Caterpie looked up at her and began to eat the flowers that were in a near by vase.

"Ha, Ha. Caterpie, you shouldn't eat those." Shan laughed. The waiter brought out her pancakes and taking a bite, she smiled. It melted in her mouth. Behind her the door opened.

"Tachi, why won't you just tell me what happened to you and Naru." Said a male voice.

"Because, the boss told me to keep it quiet. Unless I needed to say anything. All you need to know Jake is that you are my temporary partner while Naru is getting better. Got it."

Shan tensed up, and almost choked on her food. Tachi, had he followed her there? Her appetite for pancakes disappeared.

"Hear you go miss." The waiter said handing her a bill.

"Thanks," Shan said quietly, and paid him. Tachi turned and looked at the counter, he knew that voice. Standing up he motioned to Jake to do the same. Shan was wondering what she should do when Caterpie jumped down behind the counter.

"Caterpie come back hear." She whispered.

"Well, If it isn't the little Pokemon trainer." Tachi said sitting besides Shan.

"Leave me alone, unless you me to do what I did earlier."

"Oh come now, I know that you won't be able to do that again. You see I know that you are a psychic, that means you have to recharge." He said smiling. Shan swallowed hard.

"A psychic?" Jake said setting on the other side of Shan. "So that's why the boss is so interested in her."

"Shut up stupid," Tachi shouted. Shan slowly tried to edge away but was stopped by Tachi pulling her back to her seat. "Were do you think your going?"

"You two look like your busy so I thought,"

"You aren't going any were." Tachi stood up and so did Jake.

"We are team Rocket," Tachi said. "Prepare for trouble." He said raising his arms up in the air.

"Oh god not this again."

"Shut up," Jake said. "And make it Double." Jake did the same pose.

"To infect the mind with dissolution," Jake said. Tachi slapped Jake hard on the back of his head. "I mean to infect the world with devastation," he said rubbing his head.

"To unite all people within our nation,"

"Tachi,"

"Jake,"

"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light," Shan felt something rubbing on her leg. Looking down she saw Caterpie and picked it up. "Surrender now or prepare to Fight."

"I'd rather fight." Shan shouted and held up Caterpie. "String shot now Caterpie."

"Prie," Caterpie said and shoot out a thin string at Tachi and Jake, who grabbed there faces as the string covered them. Shan set Caterpie down. "Tackle them now Caterpie." Caterpie took off towards Tachi and Jake. They both tripped and fell back onto the ground. The waiter ran out.

"What in the name of all that's Pokemon is going on out hear."

"It's Team Rocket. Call the police," Shan grabbed Caterpie and ran out the door. She ran all the way back to the pokecenter. Joy ran out to the lobby and saw Shan carrying Caterpie.

"Is it hurt?"

"No," Shan said and set Caterpie on the ground.

"It saved me from team rocket."

"That little Caterpie saved you, from team rocket. Are you sure you're ok." Joy said looking down at Caterpie.

"I'm better than ok. I had know Idea that it could do that and. . "

"Oh, look." Joy said pointing at Caterpie. Caterpie was shooting string over its body.

"Caterpies evolving." Shan said.

"It's changing into a Meatapod." Joy said stepping back.

"Metapod," Metapod said.

"That means it will be a Buterfree in about a week." Joy said.

"Wow," Shan picked up Metapod. "Well I guess I better put you back in your ball for now. Return." Shan said and recalled Metapod.

"It's still dark out Shan. You should stay hear tonight I'll get you a blanket and you can sleep in the lobby."

"Uh, Nurse Joy. Can I stay with my Pokemon. I would understand if you said no, but I'm still worried about them."

"Well they are out of the critical room and are in one of the Exam rooms sleeping. I don't think it would hurt. Follow me."

"Great," Shan said and followed Joy into the exam room where Charmander and Rattata were sleeping. Joy handed Shan a blanket.

"Good night Shan. You can head off to Pewter in the morning."

"Thanks again Joy." Shan said taking off her vest. Shan sat back in the soft chair between Charmander and Rattata. As soon as she laid her head down she fell into a deep sleep.
