Chapter 4 part 2

........"Z!" Ash yelled joyfully, "MEW! "PIKA!" their 2 little pokemon called. As they did Z heard a pokeball whistling through the air..."Mew! Pikachu! RUN!! NOW!!" the 2 pokemon were too slow, but Mew built a psychic wall in front of them all, keeping them safe. Z told Mew to blow the person away with it's new whirlwind attack. As Mew did this, they heard the now-familiar yell, "Team rocket's blasting off again!!" THWAK! "Oh, no! THE CEILING!! TEAM ROCKET!" Z yelled. Ash and Z took off at full speed, dreading the worst. Z reached the rockets first, and looked them over. Fortunately for them, they were only knocked out. When the rockets came to they were lying, covered in blankets, in front of a campfire. As they sat up, heads throbbing, Z said, "Listen, you bunch, next time you try to steal Mew, I won't just use whirlwind." Team Rocket cringed, then begged to come with them. Z, Ash and Brock deliberated then said "OK". As team rocket dropped in relief Z said, "However. There is one condition to this agreement. One, you don't steal pokemon anymore. Two, you do not use that stupid motto anymore. Three, you wear normal clothing. Take it or leave it." The three accepted the conditions then changed their clothes. Jess (as she was now called) wore a yellow t-shirt and blue jeans. Jim, (James) wore a white shirt and black jeans. Z then gave them a new pokemon apiece saying, "We bought these in Pewter. We don't know which pokemon are in them. Open them up." They dropped their new pokeballs and watched the pokemon forming. Jim got Bulbasaur, but Jess got Squirtle. "YIPPEE!!" "You like Squirtle?" "Forget it you two, let's get to Cerulean!!" They raced towards a ladder that they hoped led out, but instead led them to a battle which Z handled. Her opponent led off with a level 16 Raticate as she chose her Butterfree. "Hah!" her opponent scoffed, "That bug can't beat my Ratica! te." "Oh, yeah? Try his Psybeam on for size, you jerk." BZZZZZZ was all the warning that Raticate got. After his defeat the guy ran off, leaving 2 weird rocks behind. Z took the smooth one, while Ash chose the spiral one. They then took the ladder just past the rocks............. and emerged at Cerulean. Ash went first this time. He called out his starting Pikachu, which he nicknamed Pikablu. Misty led off with Starmie, which was KOed before it could evade. Misty then used her Blastoise. As it geared up a skull bash Pikablu paralyzed it with thunder wave, then KOed it with 2 Thunderbolts and a Thundershock. Misty gave Ash a Cascade Badge and a TM Bubblebeam, which he taught to Clefairy, then he 'passed the torch', as the saying is, to Z. Z led off with her level 25 Pidgeotto as Misty used Horsea. Pidgeotto immediately used the Thunder attack Z taught him, KOing Horsea. Misty next used Seadra...as Pidgeotto evolved to Pidgeot, attacking with Fly, frightening Seadra so badly it couldn't attack. As Pidgeot KOed it with wing attack Misty handed over her Cascade badge and TM Blizzard, which was given to Mew. Misty also gave her a pokeball. As the pokemon in it was released it showed it was the legendary dragon, Dratini. Z thanked Misty for it then hurried o! utside to show Ash her new Pokemon.
