Nearby,in the bushes........ "Oh,James!Isn't this just wonderful?!We've actually suceeded stealing something from that twerp--even if it wasn't Pikachu!" exclaimed Jessie as she danced around with Ash's bookbag in he*thoughts* "speech" ------------------------------------------------------------------- "So..do you have any idea where we are?"asked Li while walking through the forest with Misty. "Well..no,I don't."she replied. "Why were you out here in the first place?" "I had an argument with my boy-I mean with Ash."she didn't mean to start to say boyfriend,it just kind of happened.She liked to imagine that he was sometimes. "You started to say boyfriend,didn't you?"teased Li while walking. "N-no,I-I meant that he is a boy a-and h-he is my friend..." "Sure,okay I believe you."Li said sarcasticly. "You sure know how to hurt a girl."she said as she stopped and started to sniffle. "Well..I have had alot of practice..maybe too much.."Li said as he thought about all the times he had hurt Sakura."Sorry..I didn't mean to make you cry.I've had alot of practice for that too." "What do you mean?"asked Misty as she wiped away the tears that had started to form in her eyes. "Well..I've had alot of practice of hurting girls--or should I say Sakura?" "How?"Misty questioned. "It started about a year ago--I went to Japan,to get something from a girl.That girl was--" "Sakura?"guessed Misty. "Yeah..well anyway I had to get something from her.I had to do it by force.I didn't want to but I had no choice--I had a mission that had to be done."Li went on to tell her the rest of the story about he and Sakura. "Oh,that's so romantic!!!"she said with dreamy eyes."I envy you and Sakura." "Well,she doesn't know that I uh..like her.I've only told 2 people how I feel about her--you and her best friend,Madison.And I don't want to tell her because she might reject me,or it would ruin our friendship."he replied sadly. "Oh,I see it's just a crush for now..."said Misty."I know exactly how you feel.I feel the same way about Ash."She then realized what she had said."Did I just say that out loud?" "Don't worry I won't tell anyone." "Like there's anyone to tell."Misty said sarcasticly. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sakura and Ash's Campground.... Sakura awakened and rubbed her eyes.She sat up to find Pikachu sitting beside her,staring up into her eyes. "Oh,good morning Pikachu.Where's Ash?"she asked looking around for Ash. "Pi."it replied.It pointed towards Ash who was carving something on a nearby tree.Sakura stood up and walked over to him. "Good morning,Ash.What are you doing?"she asked looking over his shoulder. "Oh,I'm carving my name into this tree,so if Misty sees it she'll know that I was here." As they were standing by the tree having a conversation,someone was lurking around their campsite.They grabbed Ash and Sakura's backpacks.Sakura and Ash heard something so they turned around to see that their backpacks were missing. "Oh no!Our stuff!"exclaimed Ash.*It had to be Team Rocket!* "My backpack!I've got to get my backpack!"cried Sakura.*My backpack has the Clow Cards in it.I've just got to get it back!* "Don't worry Sakura!I'll make sure you get your backpack back!I think I know who did it.Let's go to the Pokemon center and call Officer Jenny.She can help us."assured Ash. "Alright.Let's go!"exclaimed Sakura as she folowed Ash to the Pokemon center. ------------------------------------------------------------------r hands. "Yeah!And we got that other girl's stuff too!"replied James."But, that wasn't the redhead,it was someone else." "Who cares?Just see what's in the bag,James."Jessie told James. "Okay.Let's see."James rumaged through Sakura's bag.He mostly saw school supplies,but then he came across a pocket size photo album. He looked through it,seeing many pictures of a boy with brown hair and brown eyes."Jessie,look at all the pictures of this boy,that girl must have a crush on him." "Oh,first crushes...Its so romantic...I still remember my first crush.He was so handsome..."Jessie said with dreamy,sparkly eyes. "Who was it Jessie?"asked James,who was being nosy. Jessie did not want to tell James that it was him.She just replied with a"it doesn't matter!"But James was determined to figure out who it was. "Oh,come on you can tell me,Jessie."he pleaded for an answer. "Well..all that I will say is--you know him very well."she said as turned to avoid James's face. Luckily,James was very dense.*Hmm.I wonder who it could be..the boss maybe?no.* "Oh stop the mushy talk.Just see what else is in thebag."interuppted Meowth. "Alright."James came across some strange cards."Look at these, Jessie.Can I keep them,please?"he begged. "Sure,they're probably not worth anything,anyway."she said. "Cool..."said James as he looked over the Clow Cards. ------------------------------------------------------------------- The Pokemon Center......... "Officer Jenny,we would like to report a robbery by Team Rocket." Ash said talking on a phone that had a screen with Officer Jenny in it."They stole our bookbags." "They have very important belongings in them,I've just got to get mine back!"exclaimed Sakura. "Okay,what are your names?"questioned the officer. "As you probably know,I'm Ash,and this is Sakura." "Okay we'll try our best to get your things back."said Officer Jenny as she hung up the phone.Ash did the same. "How about we register you to be a trainer since we're already at the Pokemon center?"Ash asked Sakura. "Sure." ------------------------------------------------ Back in the forest...... At the same time Sakura and Ash were on the phone with officer Jenny,Li and Misty were at Ash and Sakura's campsite.Misty noticed something carved into the tree.It was Ash's name.As for Li he sensed Sakura's power.He knew where she was.He started to run as fast as he could leaving Misty behind-but she followed after him,holding Togepi in her arms."Wait up Li!" Just as Sakura and Ash turned around from the video phone, Li burst through the door. ----------------------------------------------- Kero was in Li's pocket,almost suffocating.*Where am I?
