Last Time John lost his memory and Jessie and James convinced him he was a memeber of Team Rocket. Jamie also came back from the lighthouse. And the visiting Orion and Keri were filled in on what the gang was doing. The gang also investigated the roll of microfilm and learned some interesting stuff about the case.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Jamie walked into the kitchen after John left and the slide show was over with. "Okay so tommorow, we can go into TR HQ here and get some info." She said, taking out a bag of choclate Hershey Kisses popping one in her mouth, and a few more in her robe pocket.
"I doubt it will be that easy," Darian started. "First of all its gonna be well guarded."
"Oh Darian your such a pecimist sometimes, you and John I swear, here have a kiss." Jamie made like she was going to blow a kiss to Darian but instead threw a Hershey Kiss into his forehead.
"Hey I want a kiss..." Score chirped in some minor form of jealousy.
"Score... Im not even gonna start with you." Jamie commented strolling up the stairs to her room to get changed.
"Right, well lets get going on what were going to do next?" Pipian said. "Any ideas on how we're gonna get into TR HQ undetected?" At this Orion stood up, "Hey guys hasn't John been gone for an awful long time?"
"You right, Orion, Im gonna go check on him." Tiki stood up and left grabbing his belt and pokeballs. He went toward the grocery store and then when he didn't find John he decided to start wandering toward Rock Tunnel, as John liked heading out in this direction for walks. Tiki had only been on the Road to Rock Tunnel for about ten minutes, when he heard a loud rumbling.
Just then an Onix, popped out from underneath Tiki, "Holy Shit!!!!" Tiki yelled as he was thrown a good fifteen feet back. The Onix looked at Tiki tilted his head then dove back into the ground.
"Sorry buddy but your not getting away that easily, TWIRL GO TO IT!!!" The Starmie Appearead ready to do battle....
"Alright Twirl it's been awhile since we last battled but lets give it a try, Hydro Pump into the whole!!!" Tiki yelled. Twirl jumped into the air and fired toward the whole, the massive pulses of water after the four jets had gone Tiki looked into the whole, only to see a bunch of mud "What?"
Just then a large rumbling noise began, then the Onix crashed through the surface of the rock underneath Twirl. "AHH Twirl, recover then Blizzard attack!" Twirl jumped off the ground after it hit it, then shot off eight ice shards toward the Onix. Before they it thought the Onix hardened and with strained from fainting. It then tried to fall on Twirl (Rock Throw). Twirl tried to evade with Minimiz but was still struck a mighty blow by the rock snake. Twirl was about to faint but fortunately Tiki had a trick up his sleeve.
"Twirl, Recover now!" Tiki yelled. The starmie glowed and then stopped somewhat better now. "Alright now Hydro Pump the Onix again this time make sure you hit it." Twirl did as he was told and fired the massive water streams at the tremendous beast. The Onix hardened again, but it was no use, even with its now ultra-tough skin it fell to the ground near fainting.
"Great job Twirl, I'll take it from here, GREAT BALL GO!!!!" Tiki threw the Great Ball, and it closed around the Onix. It shook for what seemed like an eternity, eventually the light went white. "ALRIGHT I CAUGHT AN ONIX!!!!!!" Tiki grabbed his pokedex for info on the Onix.
Tiki was shocked to learn that it had previously been owned by another trainer and had been taught Dig (instead of Earthquake like I said) it also had Slam Rock throw and Harden. It had been released by it's trainer, for no reason specified. The ball started glowing white and teleported away. Tiki returned Twirl and htne turned and ran back towards PODA HQ....

Meanwhile...
Mike walked along on his way back to Cerulean. "I'll take a break from getting badges and get back to the PODA for awhile." Mike said as he walked up to Curelean. Mike walked first into the Pokemon Center and got his Pokemon healed. "I should probably hack into the Celadon Gym database and learn as much as I can about the Gym leader. That why I'll know what to use against her." Mike says.
Mike recovered his pokeballs and walked into the PODA. "I'm back!" Mike shouts. Jamie comes downstairs and says, "Oh hi. You must be that new guy we got about a week ago. Tiki told me."
"Hi to you too. I'm gonna take a break from collecting badges and see if there is any case work to be done." Mike replies.
"Well, we're planning to bust into TR HQ here in Cerulean, but we don't know what it'll be like." Pipian said.
"That's an easy one. I'll hack in and get a tactical schematic of the place." Mike says. Mike heads downstairs into Lewis's room and goes onto the computer. Everyone followed. "Let's see... There are four guards hidden at the main entrance... There's a ventilation shaft on the side of the building guarded by two patrolling Rockets...If someone gets into the shaft there are laser trip-beams that put poison gas into the shafts. There are underground entrances through the sewers, but they have Grimers patrolling that area. There is a top entrance, not heavily guarded but contains missile bays with a range of 200 ft." Mike reports. Everyone stares at him. "I don't know how I did it either. Here, I'll print the technical schematics for each floor." Mike says.
"I'm starting to like this guy." Jamie says.
re: by Marco262
Darian stepped back from the computer.
"You guys go ahead and make a plan or whatever. I REALLY need to go shopping for some new clothes." he said. The can he had stuffed his clothes in in the Police HQ had apparently been a garbage can. Presently, he had borrowed some clothes from Pipian. Unfortunately, Pipian's style didn't fit well on Darian. Darian took Pardus outside to find a clothing store. Soon, Darian was trying on clothes and Pardus was giving his opinion.
"What do you think about this?" Darian had on a hawaiian shirt with a turquoise vest and bell-bottoms and white platform shoes. He struck a disco pose and Pardus almost choked.
"Hmmph. Fashions change way too quicly these days." They finally settled on a white muscle shirt under an open front hawaiian shirt and loose-fitting black Dockers. Darian put on his shoes and went back to PODA HQ.

At Cerulean Rocket HQ...
"Well John you're the best agent we have so far!" said Jessie as John cleaned house on a small group of Rockets. The current exercise was a simple brawl where the last one standing was the winner. John had gone through TR's many training exercises, from pickpocketing to Pokémon snatching. John had now donned a red and black TR uniform, and Ariel was currently being studied by TR scientists, but she wasn't cooperating. Finally, they locked her into a containment dome so she would stop icing every Rocket in sight.
"What do you expect? All these others are weaklings, Jessie!" cried John, dusting himself off. Jessie and James looked at each other.
"Do you think he's ready?" asked James.
"Yes. Let's see how he does on the field." Jessie faced John. "Okay, John, training's over for now. Let's see you use these skills."
Near Mount Moon...
"Okay John. here comes some trainers. Go."
John leaped up to a tree and watched as two nondescript trainers walked out of Mount Moon. "Hah hah hah! I caught a Geodude!"
"Oh yeah! Your Geodude has no chance against the Onix Dad gave me!"
"Want to bet? Let's battle!" The two trainers started as small battle as John watched. Finally, the Geodude fainted, and John had a chance to strike. He leaped out of the tree, landing on the Onix. Riding it like a Tauros, John forced the giant snake to smash into the base of Mount Moon. That finished, he leaped off and grabbed the kid's Pokéball, recalled the snake, and then disappeared in a cloud of smoke. The kid blinked a few times, then started crying.
Back with Jessie and James, John tossed them the Onix's Pokéball. "Here's a present for the Boss." Jessie and James stood there dumbfounded.
"Wow! That was an interesting catch to say the least! But where was the pyrotecnics? And the motto?"
"Why bother? It just gets in the way." John and his new friends headed back to HQ to try and find John a partner.
re: by Tiki
Everyone was getting ready to go back upstairs when a large thud came from the pokemon storage room. Everyone ran into the room to see a large Onix sitting there looking back at them.
"Well it would appear that either Tiki or John caught a Pokémon," Pipian said looking at the large snake.
"Well at least we know the teleporter's working," Score replied. Just then the large snake bent over close to everyone and took a large inhale through his nose getting a good wiff of them. The force was so strong that Keri was taken off her feet, she was saved by Orion though who grabbed her before it was too late. After about thirty seconds of inhaling gale forces, the Onix stopped and rubbed his head against Pipian asking for attention.
"It's like a big doggie.." Jamie said, walking up and scratching the rocky skin behind the massive snake's horn on its forhead. The snake began to wag his tail causing quite a disturbance when it hit the wall.
"Onix, don't do that!" said Jamie, harshly.
The Onix drooped its head and then Jamie forgave him and continued petting him. It was about this time that the group heard the front door slam shut, then they heard footsteps run down the staircase, Tiki came busting in to see everyone looking at the door including the pokemon.
"I see you guys met my new Onix," Tiki said proudly.
"What are you going to name it Tiki?" Jamie asked.
"Midgard, I like that name." he replied.
"Hey Tiki, did you find John?" Darian asked.
"Uhhh, well, he wasnt at or near the coffee shop, and I didn't see him on Route 9 where I caught Midgard, so no I did not find him."
"Hmmm I wonder where he could be?" Orion said inqusitively putting Keri back down.
"Oh hey Mike," Tiki said noticing the boy standing there with a handful of papers, "What you got there?" Tiki asked.
"Schematics of the Cerueleun TR HQ," He said handing them to Tiki.
"Nice job, you hacked these?" Tiki asked.
"Yep," Mike replied.
"Well done, well I propose we find John then we try for TR HQ tonight, when it's good and dark." In response to this Midgard let out a loud, deep, rumbling "WOOOOOFFFFFF!!!!!!" signifying he liked that idea.
re: by syke6888 L
"Okay, we havn't found John, so that means he's either gone from town or captured by Team Rocket." Tiki took the schematics from Mike and started relaying the plan. "Mike, you and Jamie take the back. Score, you, Orion and I take the front. Darian, place Keri into the ventilation shafts. Pipian, wait at HQ just in case anyone drops in on us. She's small enough to avoid those tripwires. Once Keri's inside, continue with Mike and Jamie. Take one of these watches so we can communicate."
The group left PODA HQ and headed towards the Rocket HQ. Pipian was annoyed at how he got stuck with house sitting when a voice came from behind. "Hello, Pipian." Pipian turned around and saw a group of Rockets. The sight that really surprised was the fact that John was in the lead. Thiswas the last sight Pipian would see for a while.
At Rocket HQ
Upon reaching, they split up. Tiki watched the guards and got an idea. He released his Clefable, Charm, then wispered something to Charm. The Clefable walked out and stood in front of the four Rockets. "Clefable!" Two of the Rockets got stars in their eyes.
"A Clefable! Jason, if we catch this, the Boss will promote us from guard duty for sure! Let's catch it!" At this Charm fled with two Rockets on its tail. As soon as they were all out of sight Charm released Metronome and got Ice Beam. With two Rockets frozen it was child's play subduing the rest. Tiki opened the entrance and headed inside, Jamie and Pipian at his heels.
In the back, Keri was placed into the shafts. She started walking through, passing under each trip wire just as Tiki said. Meanwhile, Score's Kangaskahn flattened the two Rockets at back and tossed them away like Frisbees. The small group "borrowed" an ID card and entered. Each member split up and started searching. Darian was heading past a coffee lounge and overheard some Rockets talking about the church burning and a "new recruit." Darian waited in hiding until the Rockets left, then placed a bug in the light fixture of the lounge. He continued on.
An hour later, PODA left the Rocket HQ, each member having found info on future TR missions as well as on the church burning. When they reached PODA HQ, they were instantly surprised to see the door open. Inside, a sight met their eyes. Pipian was tied to a chair, unconcious. The entire building had been ransacked, many stuff stolen or broken. Pipian's Pokémon were gone as well. Tiki ran over to Pipian and splashed him with a glass of water. "Pipian, who did this to you?" Tiki asked.
Pipian looked up at his friends with alook of disbelief and pain, "It was John."
re: by Tiki
Tiki thinking of the others pokemon being gone ran downstairs to the room, only to find nothing there. Tiki was about to start having an "Episode" when the two pokemon he had left behind grew out from the ground, Mints and Twirl had both minimized with the cmmmotion started. John's pokemon and Pipian's pokemon had been cleared out. Then Tiki remembered Lewis's pokemon. "Oh Shi*!" Tiki said. Then Tiki heard something.
Mints then opened up to reveal a large amount of pokeballs, containing Lewis's reserve pokemon.
Tiki ran upstairs to find the others had freed Pipian. "DAMN IT!!!" he yelled. "When the rockets busted in my pokemon came to save me. But I dont know what happened."
"Muk Muk uk k Mmmm (Tiki I know what happened.)." Mints said tugging on Tiki's shirt.
"What was it Mints?" Tiki wondered.
"Muk Muk uk mukkkk uk kk mu mu muk muk mu mu muuuu kkk mmu uuu mu muk kkk m mu muuuukkkkk. (Pipians pokemon were the first ones up here. Right away the Rockets pulled out some kind of energy net and threw it on Pipian's pokemon and captured them. Then we all ran and hid. They ransacked the house looking for us but all they found was Mike's Haunter, they took him too.)
"WHAT THEY TOOK MY HAUNTER!!!??!??!??!" Mike yelled "Well we're going to need to assault the base soon, and I know just the people that are going to give us any information we need." Tiki stated. A few minutes later they walked up onto a pair of Rocket guards half thawed. They waists and up were free, and they were hacking away at the ice. Until they noticed Tiki and a familiar Clefable walking next to him.
"HI BOYS!" Tiki said.
"KE KE KEEEPPP THAT THING AWAY FROM US!!!" They yelled pointing at Charm.
"Fable? (Who me?)"
"I tell you what buddies, you tell me whatever I want to know about your HQ and maybe some other things, or else my little friend here has some fun." <>"Cle FABLE (Heheeeee)."
"We cant tell you stuff about the HQ well get killed." One of the frozen guards said.
"Have it your way, ok Charm," Tiki stepped away as Charm started rocking back and forth.
"Wha What's it doing?" the other guard asked.
"I dont know its Metronome, could be anything." Tiki smirked. OK ILL TALK!!!" The second guard said.
"WHAT YOU FOOL SHU...." The other guard started but was promptly knocked out by Charm, Vine Whipping him in the head.
"Ok TR man, tell me about changes of the guard." Tiki started. 20 minutes later, Tiki walked back in carrying two TR uniforms and a peice of paper with times on it. He threw the other one to Score, "Put it on."
Tiki explained that the group would knock out the four guards that changed. Then we'll have six uniforms, lets see Me, Score, Orion, Mike, Pipian, and Jamie. PERFECT, Orion you can get a fat persons uniform and hide Keri in your belly."
"What about me?" Darian asked.
"Darian you already have a shit load of costumes, im sure you have a TR costume." Tiki replied.
"Oh yeah."
SCENE SWITCH
That night at 12:37 AM the gang sat across from the TR HQ, Tiki Score and Daraian were all in TR costumes. The guards changed right on schedule. "Ok," Tiki began, "We have two hours exactly before the next switch, if we can keep these guards from alerting others, no one will notice them knocked out until we get back. Ok Charm your job is too keep these four people knocked out by singing, think you can do it?"
"FABLE (DAMN STRAIGHT!)!"
"Watch your language miss." Tiki said.
"Cle (Sorry)."
"No matter, we can't sing them to sleep to begin with because they'll notice the sound. So were going to have to use Chloroform and handerchiefs." Tiki distributed a chloroform soaked handerchief to each of the four without a uniform.
They each snuck off and waited till no one was looking at the other guard. First was Jamie, she was lucky enough to have a girl rocket on this watch. Next soemone noticed Jamie's guard was gone, but before he could do anything Orion kncoked him out. Next Pipian and Mike struck at the same time. They gagged and tied up to the guards together, took off their clothes (except their underwear) and put them on. Keri was in Orion's belly.
"Okay Charm, in case you lose your voice or something, here's some handkerchiefs and cholorform. Good luck Charm." Tiki said.
"Cle, Fable fab (Thanx, right back at you.)."
"Alright let's go," Pipian said. And the group then walked into the front entrance of the building.
re: by syke6888 L
They split up again, each member easily passing for a Rocket. However, Pipian made the mistake of forgetting to salute a superior officer. A while later, he himself was gagged and dragged into a hidden room. Inside, John awaited.
"I should have gone with Alex's idea and killed you back at HQ." Another Rocket brought out a gun and aimed at Pipian's head. John stopped him.
"Wait, Alex, I have a better idea. Wouldn't it hurt PODA if one of their own became a member of Team Rocket?" Alex thought for a moment, then put his gun away. "Good idea, John. We have a new brainwashing machine and need a chance to try it out.
Pipian chewed through his gag. "John! What have you done? Why did you betray us? And after all we've been through?"
"What are you talking about? I have always been a Rocket. I didn't even know what PODA was until earlier today." Pipian's eyes shrunk as the words reached his ears.
"John, that's not true. You're... Aaaagghhh!" An electric shock went through Pipian, knocking him out. "That's enough of those lies. C'mon, John, we have some brainwashing to do."
In another area of the HQ, Tiki had met up with everyone except Darian and Pipian. "Any luck finding any sign of John?" All heads shook no.
"Damn. Well, keep looking. he has to be here." they split up again. Shortly after, Tiki ran into a small group.
"Hey, you!! C'mon, we need someone else for this mission!" Before Tiki could protest he was grabbed and dragged into the nearby van. The van roared off to the Cerulean Gym, with orders to kidnap Misty and the Pokémon.
In another area, Darian was on a computer, looking through the Rocket member files. He stopped on one file. In this was all the known information on a certain red-haired Rocket. As he read, Darian's blood boiled as it had back at the police station when he saw the picture. He kept reading, and any rockets paid him no mind, believing he was searching for a partner.
In the basement of HQ, Pipian was strapped in a chair with a VR helmet on his head. He was squirming around in his chair and yelling out in pain. From a window John and Alex watched, Alex smirking, John wincing.
"What are you doing to him, electric shocks?" Alex laughed at John's question.
"Much worse. He is being forced to watch Barney the purple Kangaskahn and friends. We find that the antics of that child manifestation is enough to break down any victim." John shuddered.
"Yes, it's enogh to make the devil flee in fear. One of Team Rocket's best ideas, given by one our worst members, James." The two continued to watch Pipian's pain.
An half hour passes...
PODA meets outside of Rocket HQ. Among the group is Darian, Orion, Keri, Jamie, and Score. "Where's Pipian and Tiki?" asked Score. Jamie spoke up.
"I have no idea where Pipian is, but Tiki was dragged on a Rocket mission to Cerulean gym! We have to go bail him out!"
"But what about Pipian? And John?" asked Orion. The group agreed that Jamie, Orion and Keri will help Tiki while the others continue to search the Rocket building. They split up yet again.
In the basement...
"Okay, who are you?" asked John.
"I am Pipian, loyal Team Rocket member. My mission is to swipe Pokémon from around the world, and to defeat those who oppose us."
"And your enemies are?" asked Alex.
"The Pokémon Detective Agency. And also the Elite 4, police officers, and health food store owners." John and Alex sweatdropped.
"Well, the health food enemy was different, but at least the brainwashing worked. Thank you, Barney." Alex and John then brought Pipian to the training rooms.
re: by Tiki
Tiki stepped out of the van, "You" someone pointed at Tiki, "Go with George over there," the leader of the group pointed to a well built rocket who was obviously George.
Tiki not having a choice walked off with George, "I haven't seen you before," George said to Tiki.
"Yeah well I'm new and all, just got out of training." Tiki replied, trying not to blush.
George and Tiki reached a door in the back it was guarded by three senior trainers and their pokemon. George sent out an Exeggutor, "Alright Exeggutor, Hypnosis those guards."
"TOR (YES)!!!" George removed one of Exeggutor's coconut heads and Exeggutor kicked it in front of the guards. They all looked at it wondering what it was, and then were all hypnotised by the head. They fell to the ground asleep.
Tiki noticed it was Exeggutor's back head that was removed, he dropped Sinder's pokeball silently. At the same time Tiki tapped on George's shoulder and Sinder did the same to Exeggutor.
"What is it roo...." Tiki's fist met George's face. As did Sinder's flamethrower with Exeggutor's faces. Once both had fainted, Tiki grabbed Exeggutor's other head and put it back on the poor plant. Then Tiki returned Sinder, and picked his way into the gym, he needed to warn Misty.
Meanwhile at the front of the gym, "Those guards will never let us in," Orion said, looking at the guards in the front.
"Yeah and they'll arrest us on sight in these rocket uniforms .... That's it, you stay here and when they chase after me sneak in." Jamie said leaping up.
"WHAT.. are you doing?" Orion asked puzzingly.
"HEY ALL YOU STUPID CERULEUN GUARDS IM A ROCKET AND IM HERE TO GET MISTY NEeNER NEeNER!!!!!" Jamie yelled at the guards. Then three fourths of the guards chased after Jamie, while another one ran inside to phone the cops. Leaving only one guard left. Orion looked around for something, then he found a rock. Grabbing it he ran in front of the guard, and before he could react through it at him. The guard repsonded by catching it. And then Orion punched him.
"Sorry about that," Orion said lying the guard down gentally, and running inside.
Meanwhile Tiki had managed to sneak to the hallway where Misty's room was. But it was heavily guarded. "Hmmm what to do, there's too many to fight even for Zip." Tiki contemplated his options. But he didn't have to find a solution, because half the guards were called out to guard the now unguarded front. Another quarter we're called to guard the back. And the last quarter were called to search the buidling for intruders. Other guards would be there soon to guard Misty.
All the guards ran off, Tiki saw this as his chance, ran up and picked into Misty's room right before the other guards rounded the corner. He shut the door quickly, unfortunatly waking up Misty. She eepeed and screamed. "GUARRRRDDSSSSS!!!!!!"
"NO don't scream I'm here to help you, please be quiet, I don't want to harm you. I'm trying to stop the real Team Rocket from getting you." Tiki showed her his badges, "Would a rocket have these?"
Misty contemplated this as Tiki ran into the closet as the guards opened the door, "MADAM MISTY WHAT IS IT!?!?" they yelled.
"Oh ummm nothing it must have been a bug." She said, "Im alright now, you can go."
The guards face-faulted and closed the door, Tiki came out, "Thak you, your guards aren't going to be able to stop team rocket, there are a lot of them now." Tiki said, "We need to hide and find away to get the police here."
Just then outside the sound of bodies falling to the ground was heard, "Quick under the bed!" Tiki ordered. Misty did as she was told and dove under the bed. Then the rocket's entered, "HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOIN HERE?!?!?!?" They yelled.
"Uh... I searched this room, and she's not in here." Tiki replied.
"How did you get here? Where's your partner?" they asked.
"Uh.. Uhmmmm..." Just then Tiki noticed someone appear in the doorway, he smiled, "He's right there," They turned around to see Orion, who punched one in the face while Tiki released Sinder and Zip, who promptly electrocuted and burned the remaining Rockets.
"There you are Tiki, we need to get out of here, the police are arriving." Orion said.
"OK Misty you can come out, you'll be okay now just don't go anywhere and make sure you don't open the door except for the police." Tiki said, opening a barred window that could only be opened from the inside.
"Now that I'm expecting them no one's gonna get me!" Misty said picking up her pokeballs. Orion, Keri and Tiki jumped out the window right before the Police arrived. Tiki and Orion landed, right in front of Jamie.
"Hey guys I lost those guards, we don't have any time to stick around we need to book it back to the TR HQ and meet up with the others," Jamie said stopping only for a second before everyone started running toward the TR HQ.
