"Hey, Jess," said Meowth with his usual air of sarcasm, "I'm still a bit sketchy on how we're gonna get a Butterfree out of this wimp of a Pokémon." "Quiet, hairball! We'll figure something out later!" As Jessie turned her head back in the direction she ran, she was stopped by a raised hand. Not able to react in time, Jessie smashed into the hand, falling to the ground. James and Meowth crashed into her, and they all collapsed. "I should've known it was you three all along!" said Jamie, looking very cross. "Nya, what of it?" retorted Meowth. James pulled himself from the ground. "Get lost, kid! This is Team Rocket you're dealing with!" "Look at me, I'm trembling." "Listen, brat! Team Rocket won't get pushed around by the likes of you, so bug off!" Meowth held up Caterpie. "While we bug off!" "You're not getting away without a battle." Jessie and James pulled the PokéBalls from their belts. "If it's a battle you want, we'd be happy to oblige. Go Arbok!" "Cha-bokaaa!!" "Weezing, go!" "Wee-eez! Zing!" Jamie pulled her two Pokémon from her belt. "Magnemite, Nidorino, go!" "Arbok, go underground!" "Weezing, Smog attack!" "Magnemite, Thunder Wave!" Before either Rocket Pokémon could attack, Magnemite's electric shock stopped them cold. While Arbok and Weezing were subdued, Nidorino charged at Meowth, still clutching the Caterpie. "Nidooooooooo!" "Nya! Get away from me!" The Nidorino smacked right into Meowth's gut, sending Caterpie flying through the air. Jamie leapt up and caught the airborne Pokémon. Meanwhile, Magnemite was still shocking the Rockets. "Okay Magnemite, Thundershock attack! Blast 'em off!" Jessie sweatdropped. "Where have I heard that catch phrase before?" Before James could state the obvious, Magnemite charged them with thousands of volts of electricity, rocketing them (pun intended) into the stratosphere. "Well," said James, "it looks like-" Meowth scratched him in the face. "What's the point? She already said it!" --- "And so," said Bill, who had just completed a quick check-up on Caterpie, "it looks like something is keeping your Caterpie from evolving. However, I can't for the life of me find out what it is. According to my computers, Caterpie is still at level 0. My only suggestion is to keep trying." "That's okay," said Jamie as she hugged the baby bug. "If Caterpie won't evolve, I won't pressure him to. I kinda prefer him this way anyway." ------------ TBC (Glad I could finally write something.
