Kapitel 20: Hypontized Love
The episode starts with, what it looks like, evening. The gang wandering in a forest. Meowth is resting on Jessie's shoulder, James is looking at the map, and Jessie and Domino are looking left and right.
"Trees, trees, and look more trees!" Dominos says.
Jessie looks over at James. "James, are you sure this is the right path to Celadon City?"
James nods. "Trust me, this way will take us less time to get there."
Meowth grins at James. "Remember Jimmy, this is your last chance with the map!"
James gulps. "I-I know, I know."
As the gang continues walking, Domino spots what looks like a male human being, who has long black hair, a plain sleeveless white t-shirt, and blue shorts, and looks muscular and more attractive than an average human being.
Domino immediately turns her attention to the human being as her eyes are now hearts, while still walking forward. "Oh my goodness, what a sexy knockout!" Domino bumps into a tree without looking, falls to the ground, and is knocked out.
The title screen shows.
"Hypnotized Love!"
"Wow Domino, I didn't know you were into trees. I won't judge though." Meowth chuckles.
Jessie and James both join in with Meowth, chuckling as well.
Domino immediately gets back up. "Not a tree you dumb feline! I was adoring that gorgeous hunk of a guy right there!" She points in the direction where she spotted the male at.
However, as Jessie, James, and Meowth look, the person is gone.
"I don't see anyone, Domino," Jessie says.
"Are you seeing things?" Meowth asked.
Domino immediately shakes her head no. "No, I'm not. I swear I saw a very attractive guy!"
"I'm pretty sure we're the only ones in this forest, Domino," James says.
Domino frowns. "I-I… could've sworn."
It cuts to a Pokémon that is a dark sphere surrounded by light purple gas. It has large, white eyes and a large mouth with a small pair of fangs. The Pokémon appears to be watching the gang. "Another victim!" This Pokémon can speak the human language, as it laughs.
Time skips to night. The gang finishes setting up camp as they gather around the campfire and cook marshmallows with some sticks that they found.
Domino is looking at her marshmallow and sighs. "I'm not crazy… right?" She says quietly to herself.
"Domino, are you alright?" Jessie asked.
Domino immediately looks up and nods fast. "Yep, I'm alright! Mhm!"
Meowth rolls his eyes. "Clearly you're not fine."
"Clearly you're delusional!" Domino fired back.
Meowth hisses and sharpens his claws, getting ready to scratch Domino.
Jessie immediately notices this. "Meowth, no! Put your claws away, now!"
Meowth listens to his trainer and puts his claws away, but looks very annoyed.
"Meowth is right though. Domino, something is on your mind. You can tell us." James says.
"Oh, I probably know what it is. It's that really attractive guy you apparently saw in the forest!" Jessie chuckles.
Domino immediately starts blushing in embarrassment. "I know I saw someone. My eyes are not playing tricks on me! He was the most attractive person I have ever seen!" She starts fantasizing about love.
Jessie, James, and Meowth all look at each weirdly and shrug. It cuts to another area in the forest where the Team Rocket trio is at. They're walking and seem lost as Cassidy is holding the flashlight and guiding them.
"Well, that's just fantastic! We lost the twerps!" Cassidy says, frustrated.
"I knew that we were walking too far away from them! I said this many times, warning you two idiots, but-" Mondo mocks Cassidy's voice. "'Mondo, stop being overdramatic! We're not that far away from them!'" Then Butch's voice. "'Yeah Mondo, quit being a dumbass!'"
"We get it!" Butch yelled.
"I'm just making my point, imbecile!" Mondo fired back.
"DON'T CALL ME AN IMBECILE!" Butch yelled back.
As Mondo and Butch continued to argue with each other. Cassidy just looks annoyed from the background and rolls her eyes. She looks around in the forest, shining her flashlight, and spots the same muscular attractive guy in the distance that Domino spotted earlier. Long black hair, a plain sleeveless white t-shirt, and blue shorts.
Cassidy starts blushing, immediately falling in love. "WHAT A GORGEOUS BABE!" She immediately covers her mouth after saying that out loud.
Butch and Mondo immediately stop arguing and they stare straight at Cassidy.
"Cassidy… what the fuck are you talking about?" Butch asked.
"I know as hell you're not talking about Butchy." Mondo chuckles.
Butch shoots a quick glare at Mondo before turning his attention back to Cassidy.
"Just saw a very attractive person! Look!" Cassidy shines her flashlight again in the direction where she spotted the male.
However, the black-haired male's appearance is not present this time.
"What…?" Cassidy says in confusion.
"Well if you said that out loud randomly to stop me and Butch from arguing, congratulations, it worked." Mondo claps, sarcastically.
"I didn't say that out loud randomly! I actually spotted a very attractive guy, I know I'm not crazy!" Cassidy stomps her foot on the ground in anger.
Butch looks away. "'I'm not crazy' she says," Butch says quietly to himself.
"What was that?!" Cassidy angrily says to Butch.
"Nothing, nothing. Hehe." Butch rubs his head in embarrassment with a chuckle.
Mondo yawns. "We should get to sleep, guys. It's getting pretty late after all."
"How are we going to sleep tonight? We have no camping gear!" Butch says.
"I don't even know where our hot air balloon is, so we can't sleep in it," Cassidy says.
"I guess we can make a shelter out of sticks and leaves," Mondo suggested.
Cassidy and Butch both nod in agreement. It cuts where the gang is in the forest. They're all sleeping in their tent in their sleeping bags.
It shows a closeup of Domino sleeping.
Out of nowhere, an unfamiliar voice starts calling Domino's name. "Domino! Oh, Domino! Domino!"
Domino slowly awakens from slumber, slowly gets up, and rubs her eyes. "Huh? Who's there?" She looks around and sees Jessie, James, and Meowth sleeping peacefully in their sleeping bags.
The mysterious voice calls out for Domino once more. "Domino!"
Domino notices the voice is coming from outside the tent. She slowly exits the tent out of curiosity and is now outside. "Hello?" She looks around and spots the muscular black-haired person from before, leaning on a tree.
The muscular person winks at Domino. "Hey, Domino!"
Domino immediately blushes red from nervousness. "H-hey! Wh-what are you doing here? H-how do you know my name? O-oh goodness, I'm stuttering a lot!"
"A little Pidgey, or should I say, a little Meowth, told me all the details and what you said about me earlier." The muscular person winks at Domino once more.
"So Meowth knew all along that I wasn't seeing things?!" Domino clutches her fist together in anger. "That damn cat!"
"I wanna show you something, we should hang out right now! Follow me!" The muscular person begins walking away.
"Coming!" Domino begins following the muscular stranger.
It cuts to another part of the forest, where the Team Rocket trio are sleeping, inside their shelter that they built out of sticks and leaves.
The mysterious muscular person appears right in front of their shelter and begins calling for Cassidy. "Cassidy! Oh, Cassidy!"
Cassidy slowly opens her eyes. "Huh?" She looks up and sees the muscular person right in front of her and immediately blushes. "I-it's you!"
The muscular person nods. "Follow me. I wanna show you something!" They begin walking away.
Cassidy starts fantasizing with hearty eyes. "He probably wants to have a romantic walk with me! I'm so lucky!" She gets up and begins following the muscular person.
It cuts to morning and where the gang is at. Jessie, James, and Meowth all wake up, yawn, and stretch.
"Morning James. Are you ready to start the day?" Jessie asked.
James nods. "Indeed."
"What about you, Domino?" Jessie looks in the direction where Domino's sleeping bag is, but no Domino in sight. "Huh?"
"Where is Domino?" Meowth asked.
"Maybe she just woke up earlier and went on a walk?" James suggested.
Jessie raises an eyebrow. "Why would she do that? Isn't it easy to get lost in this forest?"
James starts thinking. "Perhaps she left a trail back to our camping spot?"
"What would she use to make a trail?" Meowth asked.
"I don't know! I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, okay!" James responded.
"I don't know why Domino would just get up and leave without us like that. I mean, like I said earlier, it's easy to get lost here." Jessie says.
"Come on, we gotta find her!" James demanded.
Meowth rolls his eyes. "We should be heading to Celadon City!"
Jessie glares at her Pokémon. "Meowth, just because you and Domino had a little fight yesterday doesn't mean you should just suggest we leave her possibly lost in this forest all alone!"
"Okay, okay! Let's go find her!" Meowth says.
Jessie, James, and Meowth leave their tent to find their friend, Domino. It cuts to where Butch and Mondo are at. They're already up and also already noticed Cassidy is missing as well.
"She better not run off to steal that Meowth by herself to take all the credit!" Butch says in frustration.
"Sure Butch, like if she can win all by herself against three twerps. Cassidy might be dumb, but she isn't that dumb… I hope." Mondo says.
"Okay Einstein, answer me this. Where and why did Cassidy all of a sudden leave us?" Butch asked.
"I don't know where and I don't know why. I'm not a detective!" Mondo replied.
"Let's go find and ask her then!" Butch suggested.
Mondo nods. "That was going to be my first option anyway."
Butch and Mondo leave their shelter to go and look for Cassidy. It cuts back to Jessie, James, and Meowth looking for Domino in the forest.
The trio is calling out for Domino's name. "Domino! Domino! Domino!"
"Looking for a human in a large forest is like trying to find a needle in a haystack! It's nearly impossible!" Meowth says.
"Geez, did Domino really walk this far away from the campsite?" Jessie asked, confused.
James starts to think. "Okay, something must've happened. No way Domino would walk this far from the campsite."
"Maybe I can send out Pidgeotto? It's extremely fast at flying and maybe it will help us find Domino easier in this forest?" Jessie suggested.
"Wouldn't hurt to try!" Meowth says.
James nods. "Might as well."
Jessie pulls out Pidgeotto's Poké Ball from her purse. "Alright Pidgeotto, I choose you!" She sends out the Pokémon.
"Pidgeotto!" It cried out after being sent out.
"Okay Pidgeotto, can you scan the environment of this forest and help us track Domino's location?" Jessie asked.
Pidgeotto nods in agreement. "Pidgeotto!"
Jessie clutches her fist in excitement. "Alright, just report back to us if you find anything!"
Pidgeotto nods again in agreement and flies off to look for Domino or anything to report back. It cuts back to Butch and Mondo, walking and looking for Cassidy.
"Cassidy, stop fucking around with us!" Butch shouted.
"If this is some type of prank, I'm not liking it!" Mondo also shouted.
"I see nothing but trees!" Butch says in frustration.
"I knew this wasn't gonna be easy!" Mondo also says in frustration.
"Screw it, let's just ditch her! We both can just steal that talking Meowth as a duo and then we two will just get the promotion!" Butch grins.
Mondo frowns. "I don't know about that… Isn't that kinda like, you know… betrayal?"
"So?" Butch says with an annoyed expression. "There's a saying that goes, 'You snooze, you lose.' And Cassidy is snoozing, therefore, she is losing!"
"Yeah, but what if the boss asks us where Cassidy is? Giovanni assigned us as a trio with her after all and I think the boss won't be happy if we tell him that we abandoned Cassidy in the forest." Mondo says.
Butch and Mondo start imagining a what-if scenario of them in Giovanni's office and stealing Meowth, but leaving Cassidy in the forest.
"Let me out of here, you numskulls!" Meowth yelled out, trying to break out of the cage.
"I am very pleased that you two have finally stolen that rare and valuable talking Meowth that you were talking about," Giovanni says with a grin.
Butch and Mondo both nod.
"Thank you, sir!" Mondo says.
"Anything valuable for the boss!" Butch chuckles.
"Although… I'm pretty sure I assigned you as a trio and I only see the two of you. Where is your third partner?" Giovanni asked.
Butch and Mondo look at each other, before looking back at Giovanni.
"We kinda…" Mondo looks away and closes his eyes. "Abandoned Cassidy in a forest."
"More like she abandoned us." Butch countered. "But okay."
"Are you both telling me you two abandoned one of our Team Rocket members in a forest…" Giovanni growls in anger.
Butch and Mondo gulp. "Yes." They both said together.
Giovanni slams his fist on his desk in anger. "YOU TWO HAVE COMPLETELY BETRAYED THIS ORGANIZATION BY LEAVING ONE OF OUR MEMBERS BEHIND! YOU'RE BOTH FIRED!"
The what-if scenario ends as it fades back to Butch and Mondo in the present time.
"WE HAVE TO FIND CASSIDY!" Butch and Mondo both shouted together.
"But how are we going to find her? This forest is huge and we're like tiny pixels compared to it!" Butch says.
"Pidgeotto!" A Pidgeotto cried out, flying through the forest.
Butch and Mondo heard the Pokémon's cry and saw it flying.
"Could that be the twerpette's Pidgeotto?" Butch asked.
"We should follow it!" Mondo suggested.
"Why?" Butch asked, confused. "You know the three twerps are just gonna assume we're trying to steal it once they see us near it."
"Look, if we're gonna find Cassidy, we need more heads! So I was thinking we can call a truce with the twerps until we find Cassidy! Now let's follow that Pidgeotto!" Mondo starts heading in the direction where Jessie's Pidgeotto went.
Butch groans. "Even I can tell from a mile away that this plan is stupid." He soon catches up with Mondo.
It cuts to Pidgeotto flying through the forest, trying to find Domino or something. The bird Pokémon is seen dodging trees while flying. Soon, Pidgeotto starts seeing fewer trees and then ends up seeing a cliff.
"Pidgeotto?" The Pokémon looks confused and flies up closer and notices a small building on the cliff, it looks like a shrine. Pidgeotto heads back to the direction where it took off, to get back to where Jessie is.
It cuts to Butch and Mondo, who followed Pidgeotto stealthily and were hiding behind a tree. So that the Pokémon won't see them.
"That Pidgeotto didn't lead us to the twerps, Mondo!" Butch says, frustrated.
"Well, it did lead us to something. Look!" Mondo points at the shrine on the cliff.
It cuts to where Jessie, James, and Meowth are at. They're waiting for Pidgeotto to return.
"Are you sure you can trust Pidgeotto to not get lost, Jessie?" James asked.
Jessie nods in response. "I'm sure Pidgeotto can pick up my scent or something like that."
"This forest is so huge!" Meowth says.
"Pidgeotto!" The Pokémon cried out. Getting the trio's attention as Pidgeotto flies up to Jessie.
"Pidgeotto! Did you find something?" Jessie asked.
Pidgeotto nods in response. "Pidgeotto!"
"Pidgeotto said that they found a cliff that has some type of shrine on it!" Meowth translated.
Jessie and James both look at each other in confusion. "Shrine?" They both said together.
Jessie looks back at her Pokémon. "Pidgeotto, can you lead us to this cliff with the shrine?"
Pidgeotto nods in response and begins flying back to where the cliff with the shrine was.
"Let's go!" Jessie says.
Jessie, James, and Meowth begin following Pidgeotto. It cuts back to the cliff and shrine, where Butch and Mondo are at the entrance of the shrine.
"So this is a shrine?" Butch questioned.
"Yeah. But what's a shrine doing at the end of a cliff in the middle of nowhere?" Mondo also questioned.
"Pidgeotto!" The same Pokémon that Team Rocket saw and followed earlier arrives at the entrance of the shrine with Jessie, James, and Meowth this time.
Jessie, James, and Meowth all gasped. "Team Rocket!" They all yelled.
Butch groans In annoyance. "Oh great, the Pidgeotto led the twerps to us instead."
"Pidgeotto return. You did great!" Jessie recalls Pidgeotto back to its Poké Ball.
"What are you guys up to this time?" James asked.
Jessie noticed Cassidy's missing. "And where's Cassidy?"
"Don't tell me you two are planning something!" Meowth says.
"Let us talk, geez! No, we're not planning or up to anything and we don't know where Cassidy is!" Mondo answered.
Butch notices Domino is missing from their group. "Besides, we're not the only ones missing a member. Where's the water twerpette?"
"We uhh… don't know where she is either…" Jessie chuckles in embarrassment.
"Before we continue, we can't forget about the motto!" Butch says.
Jessie, James, and Meowth all groan in annoyance.
Butch pitches his voice higher to impersonate Cassidy on her lines. "Prepare for trouble!" Then goes back to his regular voice on his lines. "And make it double!" Butch groans quietly. "Doing this by myself is gonna be a drag…" He then continues the motto. "To infect the world with devastation! To blight all people in every nation!"
"To denounce the goodness of truth and love…" Cassidy's muffled voice is heard.
Everyone heard Cassidy's voice as they all looked around trying to find where the voice came from.
Butch continues the motto but is now confused. "To extend our wrath to the stars above?"
"Cassidy…"
"Butch?"
Everyone hears Cassidy's voice coming from the shrine door.
"Team Rocket circling Earth-" Cassidy comes flying out of the shrine and lands on the ground. "All day and night…"
Butch proceeds to still finish the motto. "Surrender to us now or you will surely lose the fight…"
"I'm Mondo alright!"
Soon after, Domino comes flying out of the shrine as well.
Everyone runs over to the two to see if they're alright. Domino and Cassidy are acting like zombies and babbling.
"Domino, what happened?!" Jessie asked.
"Cassidy, snap out of it!" Butch demanded.
Domino and Cassidy are still babbling as they look like they're hypnotized.
"Well, obviously talking to them isn't going to work!" James says.
"Well, I hope this works!" Jessie pulls out a Poké Ball from her purse. "Squirtle, I choose you!" She sends out Squirtle.
"Squirtle!"
"Squirtle, use Water Gun on Domino and Cassidy!" Jessie commanded.
Squirtle releases a spiral of water from its mouth at Domino and Cassidy. They're still acting funny and hypnotized.
"Okay, looks like I'm gonna need some help here. James?" Jessie asked.
James nods. "Slowbro, go!" He sends Slowbro out.
"Slow…bro."
"Squirtle, Water Gun on Domino and Cassidy once more!" Jessie commanded.
"You too, Slowbro!" James also commanded.
Squirtle releases a spiral of water from its mouth at the Domino and Cassidy once more, however, Slowbro just stares.
"Slowbro?" James says in confusion. "Use Water Gun, come on!"
After a few seconds have passed, Slowbro releases a spiral of water from its mouth as well right at Domino and Cassidy. The girls both scream from getting drenched in so much water.
"Alright Squirtle, I think that's enough!" Jessie says.
"Yeah, Slowbro, you can stop," James adds in.
Squirtle immediately stops with its Water Gun, however, Slowbro continues firing water from its mouth at the girls.
"Slowbro I said-"
Slowbro then stops using Water Gun as well, which causes James to cut off his sentence.
James is confused about this. "What?"
Domino blinks. "I am Domino…"
Cassidy also blinks. "And I'm Cassidy from Team Rocket…"
"They're back!" James says, gladly.
"Squirtle, you did great!" Jessie recalls Squirtle back to its Poké Ball.
"I guess you did great too, Slowbro?" James recalls Slowbro back to its Poké Ball.
Meowth frowns. "Man, I was enjoying this!"
"What happened?" Domino asked while holding her head.
"I feel like I was having one of the best dreams of my life," Cassidy says in delight.
"Cassidy, I would slap you right now for abandoning us like that!" Mondo yelled.
"Hey, it's not my fault I saw the hottest muscular man in the world!" Cassidy yelled back at Mondo.
Domino raises an eyebrow. "Wait a minute- 'hottest' 'muscular' you're describing the same guy that I saw!"
"WHAT?!" Cassidy yelled in disbelief. "Why would a smoking hot guy find interest in an annoying little brat!"
Domino growls at Cassidy. "I'm not annoying! You're the one who's annoying more than anything!"
Domino and Cassidy both start glaring and growling at each other in anger.
Jessie steps in and pushes the two aside. "Okay, break it up you two, we have something more important to discuss!"
James nods. "Right! So, you both saw this same person and led to the same building? Something is going on here."
Mondo decided to look at the ocean over the cliff. He sees something that attracts his attention. "Hey guys, check this out."
The gang and the rest of Team Rocket followed where Mondo's voice was and they all saw, what it looks like, a stone statue of the black-haired muscular person that Domino and Cassidy saw earlier.
"No way!" Both Cassidy and Domino shouted in disbelief.
"What? It's just a dumb statue!" Butch says.
"No, you absolute buffoon!" Cassidy insulted. "This statue is the same guy that I and the twerpette saw!"
"No fair, I want a statue of Meowth!" Meowth says.
"Now why would there be a statue of this person in the first place?" Jessie asked.
"Maybe we will find some more information in the shrine?" James questioned.
"Yeah, that sounds reasonable. Let's all look in there." Mondo suggested.
It cuts inside the shrine with everyone entering and looking around.
Jessie spots a note on the floor. "Hey guys, I found a note." She picks it up.
Everyone gathers around Jessie as she clears her throat and begins reading the note.
"'Many many years ago, there was a muscular man with a really big ego, however, the man was really attractive and many females had interest in him. Even though the man was attractive, he wasn't happy with it, because of his good looks that attracted many females. If he chose one female to be his soulmate forever, all of the other females would have been crushed and emotional. Due to this, the man decided to isolate himself up the top of a cliff near a forest, where he built a shrine of himself on top of the cliff and a stone statue of himself as well. He lived in this shrine for the rest of his life until he passed away after a terrible accident, where he was admiring his statue self and was backing up to get a better look then accidentally fell off the cliff to his death from not paying attention to his surroundings. Many stories have been told that his ghostly presence haunts these parts of the forest. If you have fallen in love in his ghostly presence, you might be doomed from being so hypnotized from love, that you end up spending your entire life in this shrine."
Everyone just widely blanks from shock. It was silent like a mouse in the shrine.
Butch breaks the silence. "Oh, my fucking goodness."
"Who wrote this note in the first place?" James asked.
"Probably one of the other victims who fell in love with this ghost," Meowth answered.
"Well now that we know the full story, also twerpette and I aren't hypnotized anymore… LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" Cassidy was about to run out of the shrine.
"HOLD IT!" Jessie yelled.
Cassidy stops in her tracks from hearing Jessie's voice. "What is it?! Come on, let's get out of here fast!"
"We're all staying here for the night and fighting this ghost!" Jessie says.
James nods. "Yeah, I agree with Jessie. I don't want more people to be victims of this ghost."
"So you three better help us deal with this ghost!" Domino demanded.
Cassidy groans in annoyance as she walks away from the exit. "Fine. Truce."
Butch and Mondo both nod in agreement.
It cuts to nightfall with the gang and Team Rocket still in the shrine, waiting for the ghost to appear. They're all playing a card game to waste time.
"Do you have any fives?" James asked Meowth.
Meowth grins. "Go fish, Jimmy!"
James sighs as he takes a card from the deck.
The clock strikes 5:00 AM. "Ding! Dong!"
The wind outside picks up heavily as the door blows open and the muscular ghost reveals themselves to the gang and Team Rocket.
"Won't you both be mine, ladies?" The ghostly muscular person asked.
Domino tries to fight it but starts getting hypnotized once more as she has hearts for eyes. "I will, gorgeous!"
Domino and Cassidy start levitating toward the ghost.
"Domino!" The gang yelled out.
Cassidy is holding onto a barrier. "I won't let go!"
Butch and Mondo started cheering.
"Yeah Cassidy, you got this!" Mondo cheered.
"Go, Cassidy!" Butch also cheered.
However, the supernatural powers are too strong for Cassidy. She lets go and starts levitating toward the ghost. As the ghost starts levitating both Domino and Cassidy outside.
"Come on, let's go!" Jessie exits the shrine as her friends and the rest of Team Rocket follow behind.
The gang and Team Rocket are now outside near the cliff. Jessie, James, and Meowth. quickly grab Domino's legs as Butch and Mondo grab Cassidy's legs. The five on the ground slowly start drifting towards the end of the cliff, because of how strong the supernatural force is.
James notices the ghost levitating above the cliff. "Charmander, Ember at the ghost!" He sends out Charmander.
Charmander releases bolts of fire or a small ball of fire from its mouth at the ghost. The ghost disappears as Domino and Cassidy drop to the ground and everyone stops drifting towards the end of the cliff. Everyone starts catching her breath.
"That… was a close one," Mondo says.
The ghostly muscular person appears right in front of everyone. "I have been waiting years for a lady for my heart! You cannot interfere."
Evil skull spirits that the ghost summoned appear, frightening the gang and Team Rocket.
"What Pokémon are they?" Jessie pulls out her Pokédex to try to identify it.
"No Pokémon entry found."
"They're not Pokémon?!" Jessie yelled out in disbelief.
"Well of course they're not, you dumbass!" Butch insulted.
"A Pokémon is near," Dexter says.
"Huh?" Jessie starts moving her Pokédex around. She then points it at the ghostly muscular person.
A picture of a black, spherical Pokémon surrounded by a purple haze appears on Dexter. "Gastly, a Ghost Pokémon. It is usually invisible. Its specialty is hypnosis."
"Gastly?!" Everyone says in shock.
"So-" The ghostly muscular person grins. "You all figured out the truth. No matter if I'm the attractive person or not, I will truly always be-" Gastly disappears and reappears in front of the ghostly skulls in front of the gang and Team Rocket in its true spherical form. "Gastly!"
"YOU CAN TALK?!" Everyone says at the same time in shock.
Gastly nods. "That's right!"
Meowth growls. "No fair, I'm supposed to be the only Pokémon that talks!"
"Which one of you fools thinks you can step up against me?" Gastly asked.
Jessie was about to step up until Team Rocket did before her.
"Rattata, go!"
"Mankey, get 'em!"
"You can do it, Cubone!"
The Team Rocket trio sends out their Pokémon together.
"Three versus one? That's cheating! No big deal for me!" Gastly says.
"Attack!" Team Rocket commanded their Pokémon.
As Team Rocket's Pokémon was about to attack, Gastly's eyes glow red, then Rattata, Mankey, and Cubone fell asleep.
"That's Hypnosis!" Domino confirmed.
"Wake up you three!" Cassidy says in frustration.
"Since you three failed, time to say bye-bye!"
"What?" Butch says in confusion.
"Excuse me?" Mondo adds in.
All of a sudden, Team Rocket and their Pokémon start levitating in the air as the trio looks scared and then Gastly sends them blasting off.
"WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" Ding!
"Now!" Gastly turns to the gang. "Which one of you three wants to go next? However, failing to do so will get you sent flying!"
"I'll go!" James steps up and then pulls out a Poké Ball. "Pikachu, I choose you!" He sends Pikachu into battle.
"Pikachu!"
"A little rodent huh?" Gastly's eyes started glowing red once more.
"Pikachu, dodge the hypnosis!" James commanded.
Pikachu looks away from Gastly, only for Gastly to disappear and reappear in front of Pikachu.
"Chu!" Pikachu tries to look away once more, but Gastly disappears and reappears in front of the Pokémon once more.
"This is gonna sting!" Gastly fires a light purple beam from its body at Pikachu.
Pikachu gets hit by the move. "Chu!" It cries in pain.
"Pikachu!" James immediately runs over to Pikachu and picks it up.
"Did you like my Night Shade? Well since you lost, you three must be sent flying!" Gastly says.
"WHAT?!" The gang all yelled out as they started levitating and so did Pikachu.
"EEP!" James screeched.
"I don't want to blast off as Team Rocket did!" Jessie says.
"Get ready to," Domino responded.
Meowth shouts at Domino angrily. "This is all your fault! If you didn't fall in love with some fake ghost, we wouldn't be in this situation!"
Domino yells back at Meowth extremely loudly to defend herself. "IN MY DEFENSE, I WAS HYPNOTIZED!"
Gastly starts laughing. "Thanks for the small entertainment before I send you guys flying!"
Before Gastly can send them away, all of a sudden the sun starts rising over the horizon.
"NO! NO! NO! NOT THE SUN!" Gastly screamed out.
The gang all plopped down back on the ground.
"I hate sunlight! You four all got lucky! Extremely lucky!" Gastly starts slowly fading away.
"Oh no you don't!" James quickly pulls out an empty Poké Ball. "Now's my chance! Poké Ball, go!" He throws the Poké Ball at Gastly.
The Poké Ball manages to hit Gastly before he can fade away completely.
"NO-" Gastly goes inside the Poké Ball.
The Poké Ball falls to the ground as it begins to shake. It shakes three times before clicking, signaling a successful catch.
James walks up and picks up his Poké Ball containing his new Pokémon. "I caught Gastly!" He poses in celebration.
Jessie, Domino, and Meowth all clap for James.
"Now I don't have to worry about being hypnotized anymore or anyone for that matter." Domino chuckles.
"Let's just get down this cliff and out of this forest in general. We need to get back to the path to Celadon City."
James nods as he switches Gastly's Poké Ball to Pikachu's. "Pikachu return, you did great!"
"Chu!" Pikachu gets recalled back to its Poké Ball.
It cuts to the gang finding a trail after leaving the forest.
"Yes, a trail! Celadon City should be near if we don't get off track according to this map!" James says.
The gang begins walking the trail.
Meowth frowns. "I can't believe I found out that I'm not the only talking Pokémon anymore."
"Hey…" Jessie picks up Meowth. "Technically since Gastly is part ghost-type, that makes you the only living talking Pokémon!"
Meowth perks up at Jessie. "You're right!"
"Our heroes continue to get to Celadon City with Jessie aiming for her fourth badge! James got a new Pokémon and Domino was saved by her friends. Find out what more crazy things that will happen next!"
