As we neared the city limits of Pallet Town, I took time to admire the
neatliness of the new uniforms. Instead of the Black, cotton full length
suits, these new uniforms were white, with a button down front with a huge R
on the front. (In other words we were wearing the uniforms associated with
J&J not the ones in the game!)

As with most towns the first thing we saw while entering was the welcome
sight of the PokéCenter. The Pallet's PokéCenter was hardly two months old.
Freshly planted Gardenias brightened up the front of the building to give it
a relaxed, and homely atmosphere. I hated relaxed and homely atmospheres.

As we entered the Center we were greeted by whom else, but Nurse Joy.
"Hello! I'm Nure Joy! Can I heal your Pokemon or do anything else that might
make your stay more enjoyable?" Just as Daemon was about to reply to this
nice offer a loud shriek came from the back of the group.

"IEEEEEEEEE!!!!" The figure of BlackSkunk was visible as he crashed through
the door and hid outside. Daemon motioned for the Nurse to wait one minute
as he dashed outside after him.

GP, Hawk, and Jay had sat down on the rather uncomfortable looking couch
that encircled the TV viewing area; they then proceeded to look for the TV
Remote, it was hidden somewhere in the maze of pillows and cushions.

Ignoring the remote hunt on the other side of the room I turned around in
my chair and pulled up the financial program on the Public Computer. With
only a quik couple of clicks I had just invested what little money I had
left into Silph Co. Stocks. Since I didn't know who was the new majority
shareholder, I figured I would have to stop by Silph Co. Soon.

I closed out the money program and entered the pokemon storage program. I
wasn't Stupid enough to let all my pokemon run free on Emerald Island, I had
deposited 3 or 4 in a fellow's computer, I believe his name was Phil, or
maybe it was Will. Anyways, I deposited some empty pokeballs into the
computer's side and out from the CPU a glowing red energy flash jumped from
the computer into the pokeballs. I then picked them up and inspected their
labels:

Mallomar: The friendly Magmar
Vengeance: The docile Prime-Ape
Omni: The All Powerful Oddish
Xerox: The Ditto from Hell

Since I had my hands full with Falcon, Jabba, RaiZap, Pikachu, Al, Abbie,
and Bubba (the Bulbasaur). I decided to share the wealth, tossing the balls
to my various team members; I turned my attention to the Cable Club, or Lack
thereof.

Where most PokéCenters had a Cable Club, Pallet's had a PokéMart. It
apparently sold some of the rarer Items also; Stones, Vitamins, and TMs. I
strode over to the counter and rang the small bell. A gruff Grumpy voice
came from the back rooms, "I'm Comin' I'm Comin'!" I turned to look at Kat
and RaiZap. They were having a pleasant conversation with the Nurse, Zap
appeared rather Anxious and was preparing to pounce on a nearby Chansey.
"Whatta Want?" The gruff voice was now right behind me, I turned to be face
to face with a Kadabra.

I was able to stammer out, "Ack! You-You-You can talk!"
"Wow, Your powers of deduction amaze me. Now what do ya' want?"
"Uhhh... Can I get the new edition of the PokéMag?"
"Sure, that'll be 2.50." Hearing that this establishment sold Magazines
Hawk perked up from his inverted position on the couch and darted over to
the counter.
"Can I get the latest issue of..." He whispered the name of the magazine
into Kadabra's ear.
"For the Articles right?" Kad sneered.
"Oh No no no! There are pictures of naked women in here!" In disgust I
shoved Hawk's purchase back over the edge of the counter and threw him back
onto the couch where he was distracted once again by the flashing lights of
the TV screen.

I started back to the Counter as GP called over to me, "Stryker, You might
wanna take a look at this." I walked over to the TV area and was amazed by
the breaking news story....

"This is Lynda Aire, I'm here at the biggest thing to hit Pokémon Training
in a long time! Since before many people can remember, Silph Co. has held a
monopoly on all Poké Training items. That all changed today with the
announcement of this new company, XOOM. XOOM is probably best known for its
dedication of trying to stop PokéBattles; Whenever they find a Battle going
on they tend to throw the participants out of the Battle Areas. But in a
change of heart, XOOM is now going to produce items similar to Silph's, XOOM
also has implemented an unique PR Idea, they have hired a street gang, Team
Fury, to endorse their products. This is the leader of TF, Turbulence!" She
handed the microphone to the man nearest her, he was small and weasly. On
his shoulder sat a rather put-off Raichu.

"XOOM is here to help the common man; Team Fury is here to SAVE the common
man from the terrors of international crime! Since the Global Police can't
seem to stop terrorism, It is up to Team Fury to stop the Hate of groups
like Team Rocket." The Raichu then put his wrist up to Turbulence's face, on
it was a Raichu-sized watch. "Okay! Okay! Mr. Raichu, I know your contract
expires soon!" Lynda Aire took back the Microphone.

"So in the darkest hour, these brave individuals are taking on the scourge
of Team Rocket, Make we all wish the luck on their journey and..." *CLICK*
"Don't hit me with that frying pan! -THWACK- Now I'll hit YOU with a Frying
Pan -BONK-" I walked back to the counter and was going to speak to Kadabr
again when my attention was diverted to the door. There BlackSkunk was being
Reluctantly pulled through.

"I DON'T WANNA GO! SHE'S EVIL! EVIL INCARNATE!" He shouted.
Daemon swiftly replied, "She's gone dude..."
"Oh, OK, I can stay then I guess..." This revelation was shaken when a
chansey flew across the room with a Raichu attached to it. This brought Joy
back from the Nurse's Lounge and into the waiting room.
"Chansey? Are you OK?"
Then BlackSkunk Screamed like a girl and crashed back out the door.

Taking BlackSkunk's Fear as a cue to leave, we headed off towards Oak's
Lab. As we entered we were met by a nerd-like man whom immediatly asked us,
"Hello, Can I Help ..." His sentence was cut short by a right hook from
BlackSkunk.

"What'd you do that for?" Jay asked.
"He was mocking me." Came Skunk's reply.
Ignoring the body lying on the floor we went single-file into the main
hall. On one side sat a rather out-of-date computer system, On the other
several cases of books lined up and blocked several small windows. On the
table lay approximatly 136 pokéballs. All had the small light lit up,
meaning they were full. From behind us came a voice, "Hello, Can I help
you?"

Daemon and Hawk quickly grabbed BlackSkunk's arms and Jay jumped behind the
nearby bookcase. GP took the initiative and introduced us.

"Well nice to meet you all! Team Rocket you say, I do believe I've heard of
you. Oh yes! You're the ones that Officer Jenny keeps telling me about!" We
all tensed up sensing an impending battle. "That Bitch, I personally can't
stand her." We all resumed breathing normally, Oak continued on about this,
and that and just rambled on and on.

While his back was turned Jay started to swipe the Balls one by one from
the underside of the table. Some how he managed to slide and a PokéBall he
was reaching for flew off the table and bounced itself off the Professor's
head. I took this as an opportunity, "OK! Get them All! Lets hurry!" In the
hussle no one noticed that three PokéBalls rolled next to a bookcase.
Outside someone dropped a ball and caused Hawk to slip. Hawk, of course,
dropped his load of Pokéballs and grabbed onto Jay's arm. By now about 20
Pokéballs littered the ground, or enough to trip up everyone. As my group
rolled back to TRHQ I stood in the Lab's doorway and scribbled a quick note.

"Dear Oak: You were telling us about the intricases of Rhyhorn plating
design, when a rabid JigglyPuff leaped through a nearby window and clobbered
you and stole all of your Pokémon. My team is as of now chasing him down and
We'll notify you when we catch him. Sorry 'bout this.
-Stryker Silph"

I placed the note on the table in the middle of the lab. On my way out I
stopped long enough to break a window. Although close examination would
reveal the window was broken from the inside-out I figured Oak wouldn't
launch a full-scale investigation for a JigglyPuff, especially since he had
just announced his dislike for Jenny.

The Team finally regrouped at Pallet's PokéCentre. Gio had appreciated our
tact and told us to take a break while he thought of our next task. Skunk
was confronting his fear, he nervously handed over two or three of his
Pokéballs. I went back to the console and checked E-Mail.

Thank you for your dilligence Stryker. Don't harm the JigglyPuff, If you
could Plz bring it to the lab for study. I also noticed that the Puff didn't
make off with all my Pokémon, I still have Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and
Charmander. I also have plent of empty Pokéballs and a custom one coming in
soon so I'll restart my collection. BTW how'd a Puff carry 133 Pokéballs
anyways?

Oak,
As soon as we find him we'll bring "What's Left of him" back to the lab. I'm
glad to hear that you're going to REcomplete your collection. As for the
actual crime Jiggly opened his mouth and inhaled all of the Pokéballs. I
personally think that it has an accomplice, The mastermind behind this
heinous plot just HAS to be a Pidgey. Officially yours...
Stryker Silph

Just as I sent the Mail two kids entered the Centre with a mother. Kat
walked over to my side and leaned on my shoulder.
"Strykie, don't those two look familiar?" I looked over at her, denoting my
interest in my new nickname.
"Yes, I think they were at that convention in Pewter. The one on the left
is the kid with the hat-hair, the other one is the cool, non-chalant kid."
We watched them for awhile, the cool kid was sweet talking the nurse while
the dork was taunting Jay. Jay finally had enough and sprang from his spot
on the couch and got in the Dorky kid's face. The woman, whom had been
reading a magazine leaped to her kid's defense and bitch-slapped Jay. Taking
this as an assault on all of Team Rocket we all rose to Jay's defense. I
drew to the front and took charge.

"Madam, I highly suggest you leave my friend here alone."
"WHAT! How dare you talk to me like that!" -SWACK- I had just shared the
same fate as Jay. Turning my head back around slowly; I glared at her. "Just
go, please..."
"Come on Ash! Lets go! Grab Gary and we'll go home!" Unbeknownst to "Ash"
and his mother Gary was Making out with Nurse Joy. As his name was called he
dropped her to the floor and dashed out the door.
"Ash you've become such a DORK lately. You just can't do anything right!"
Still feeling the sting of the slap I thought of the horrible tortures I
could subject them to. The Rack, the Electric Chair, and of course Drawn and
Quartering. I came up with a much better plan though. I ran outiside to see
which house they lived in. Once they were far enough away I reached to my
belt and pulled off the last Pokéball.
"PIKA CHUUUU!" To be a smart aleck he kicked the back of my knee since I
kinda forgot to let him out earlier as I promised. Since I was on Eye-level
with the beast as I stood up I grabbed his tail and held him up by it. He
crossed his arms and looked indignant.

"Look here, I've got the most important mission EVER for you." Pika seemed
to drop his bad mood at these words. "See that kid?" I pointed to the Ash
brat, "I want you to follow them and start chewing the wires through in
their house." Pika kinda nodded, "But you mustn't let them catch you.
Because the kid wearing the hat..." Pika tilted his head and nodded
affirmative, "The kid in the hat is Satan." The Pika shuddered.
"Chu-CHU Pika-Pi!" Meaning "Why I'll show him!"
"Now, in a couple of days Prof. Oak will come over and catch you. If he
does that more than likely you'll stay with him the rest of your life.
You'll like Oak!"
"Pi -KA- CHUUU!" Meaning "Ok! Let go of my tail and I'll get started!"
I dropped him to the ground and he scurried off after the group. I went
back into the Centre as a giant screen rolled down from the ceiling. The
lights darkened, and the whir of a projector warming up silenced the entire
centre. The image of Giovanni radiated off of the screen, "Hello TR!"

"Since you did such a good job on your last mission, I'm delegating you the
most important missions on the Agenda." Besides being a good boss, Giovanni
was a PHENOMENONAL public speaker.

"There are no places for Pokémon trainers to show their accomplishments.
That is why Team Rocket is going to build a system of GYMs across all of
PokéLand. GYMs will show that a trainer is worthy of joining Team Rocket.
Now, on who will go where:

DaemonWyrm, BlackSkunk, and Thomas A. Hawk will sail from Pallet to
Vermillion and from there they will head to Fuschia.

GP, will pick up Rocket Breeder and They will head to Celadon and be the
first to arrive in Saffron.

Stryker and Kat will fly to Pewter then goto Cerulean, from there they will
make their way to Lavender.

Once all the GYMs have been founded proceed to Saffron, from there
transport will be arranged to Cinnabar."

"You are being sent to Pewter with Stryker and Kat, but on a different
mission." Jay swelled with pride at being hand-picked to go on a special
mission. "Your task is to capture a JigglyPuff, CleFairy, Magnemite, and an
Abra. You will have the company of RaiZap for most of your task." Jay's jaw
dropped open out of sheer surprise, RaiZap who had previously been
monitoring the Kitchen hopped up next to Jay and wore a Smile crossed with a
Sneer. With this the screen rolled up and the lights came back on.
BlackSkunk then grabbed as many of us as he could and dragged us outside
making two trips to get everybody.

"What's wrong Skunk?" Daemon Inquired. Not answering Skunk dived into some
nearby bushes. he was soon Joined by the rest of us. "Skunk?"
"You know Nurse Joy right?" All of us expecting something of much grander
scale, exhaled the breath we had been holding. The entire area became rocked
with two huge explosions. "You know those Pokéballs I gave her, those were
actually Blaster Balls!" He stood up and yelled, "I HAVE RID THE WORLD OF
NURSE JOY!!!"

A female voice came from a distance, "Its a good thing I had to run to
Oak's Lab, I could have been IN here."

"NNNNOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo!!!!!" Skunk Lamented. Apparently everyone had
escaped the blast, Kadabra had just teleported to where we were and Chansey
was with Joy. Skunk quickly grabbed another Pokéball at his waist. As he
prepared to hurl it at Joy GP knocked it from his hand into the nearby
ocean.

GP: "Our reputation is bad enough, we don't need to make it worse by
killing this community Icon!"
Daemon: "Uhh... Guys."
Hawk: "WHAT!"
Daemon: "What about the Pallet Dam?"

As Daemon spoke the ball exploded rupturing the dam and sending water our
way. Kat noted, "I think now would be a good time to run." As we escaped the
onslaught of water we headed towards the northern boundary of Pallet. The
Flood would cover up the wreckage of the Centre and truly only Joy knew that
the Centre was destroyed BEFORE the flood. Kadabra was now un-officially one
of us, Team Fury is just a small threat on the horizon, and TR now had a
huge task set in front of them. This would truly be the first test of our
mettle...
