Andy and Enimuram looked around. Weeds had replaced flowers and vice versa. Some trees had become sawed-off stumps. Bare trees were suddenly leafy, and a Pidgeotto who had been building her nest now fed three baby Pidgeys. Finally, it had gone from noon to late night instantaneously. "What happened?" Andy wondered aloud, feeling a bit dizzy. "I'm not sure," Enimuram responded. "It looks like a bunch of time went by in an instant." "You mean, like we time-traveled?" Andy's voice was filled with amazement. "That's weird." "Well, I guess it's the only really good explanation we have," his partner responded. "Let's go see if--" A voice cut him off. "Mag..." The pair turned around. Electron and Magnemite were laying on the ground, dazed from the effects of whatever had just happened. Electron's single eye was spinning, and Magnemite was just blinking. "Maybe there's something wrong with them!" Enimuram exclaimed. "We need to get them to a Pokémon center," Andy responded, worried. "If there still is one," Enimuram pointed out. "We might be hundreds of years into the past or future." "Ooh, good point. Well, we were almost through Viridian Forest anyway... I guess we'll find out soon what's happening." ---- Ted Brotlov stared at his monitor. It seemed that the two Magnemites had sensed the time warp and Thundershocked simultaneously, destroying the time warp and freeing Enimuram and Andy. "Darn," Ted said to himself. "I should have known better than to use that idiot Giovanni's plan. Sometimes I wonder why he leads Team Rocket." He turned to an Electabuzz. "Cyclonus, call Giovanni." "Yes, sir," Cyclonus responded in a Patrick Stewart voice. He pressed some buttons on a panel, muttered something to himself too quietly for his translator headset to pick it up, and pressed more buttons. Giovanni, leader of Team Rocket, appeared on the screen. "What? Who's that? How dare you disturb me in the middle of the night?!" "This is Ted Brotlov, sir. Rocket in charge of detaining Andy Renev and Enimuram Yortsed." "What are you calling about?" "It seems that the time warp you told me to create was nullified by a double Thundershock. The escapees have escaped once more." "WHAT?" Giovanni shouted into the voice-amplifying microphone, making Ted wince. "How could you let this happen?" "I tried to tell you, sir. Once a time warp has been created, there's no way I can control what happens to it." "Darn," Giovanni ordered a nearby Rocket who had asked what should be done about socks with holes in them. "I gave you twelve Abras so you could have the power to create the time warp. And not only did you lose the Abras in the process, but you also lost the warp. Consider yourself in serious trouble, Brotlov." Ted frowned. "Yes sir." "And get to work finding a way to dispose of those two," Giovanni continued. "I can't have troublemakers like Enimuram and Andy, er, making trouble. You will be issued another fifty Voltorbs to complete this task, so you now have one hundred and two of my Pokémon in your possession. Do not fail me again." He stared at Ted threateningly. "Any damage they do will be taken out of your paycheck, and you know what a negative salary means." And with that, he hung up. Ted turned to Cyclonus. "Well, what are you waiting for? Come up with a plan!!" --- TBC All right!
