บท 25: Team Rocket

"Those little skanks!" Nurse Joy swore as she hurried to her room, seething as she did so while recalling the looks May and Dawn had given her.

Joy had long since made peace with Ace sleeping with other women, she'd had to after seeing just how gluttonous he could be when it came to womanizing over the last three years. But she never dared to imagine that he'd actually take a pair of them in as his wives!

And Misty was no better in her eyes, as all Joy saw was another vixen preparing to pounce on HER Ace to steal him for herself!

She'll show them!

Closing the door behind her, Nurse Joy hurried to her computer to pull the live feed from Ace's room, only to see static on her monitor.

"What?" Joy uttered in confusion as she tried to figure out what happened.

Rewinding the data that had been stored, she found May and Dawn entering Ace's room along with the latter's Shinx.

"Are you sure about this May?" Dawn asked hesitantly, to which the other woman replied,

"Come ON Dawn! You saw the way that Nurse Joy reacted when Ace introduced us as his wives! Plus he's been staying in the SAME room every single time he came to Viridian city? Somethings up, and Shinx will help prove it, right?"

"Shiiiiiii!" The little Shinx happily responded to May's declaration, before going on a hunt to find whatever evidence it could.

Nurse Joy went from going pale to to fuming angry in rapid succession as she watched the Shinx sniff around, before it found the first of several cameras she'd set up in Ace's room. Despite none of them being bigger around than a pen, the Shinx used the inborn ability all electric types had to sense electricity, and quickly located the cameras one after another, before either May or Dawn removed and destroyed them.

"Those filthy whores-*CRASH*!" Nurse Joy swore as she watched the footage, right as the Pokemon Center suddenly shook as an explosion went off.

Jumping up in alarm, Joy ran from her room and down the hall as the numerous trainers staying with them also exited their rooms to see what caused the explosion.

Arriving at the same hall where the numerous Pokemon had been let out for the night, Nurse Joy instantly noticed the hole in the wall on the far side that had been blown open, kicking up a cloud of dust that filled the air.

"Well well well, look what we have here." A female voice with a high pitch sneered.

"It looks like a smorgasbord of precious Pokemon." A rich sounding male voice drawled.

"Let's nab dem all!" Cried out a higher pitched voice than the first, as the dust settled to reveal the silhouettes of three figures.

"To protect the world from devastation."

"To unite all peoples within our nation."

"To denounce the evils of truth and love."

"To extend our reach to the stars above."

"Jessie!"

"James!"

"Team Rocket blasts off at the spread of light!"

"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"

"Meowth, that's right!"

With their intro finished, the dust cleared completely to reveal the three figures that created the explosion, a woman with long magenta colored hair that was styled into a comet-tail behind her, a guy with shoulder length dark blue hair, and a single Meowth.

The man and woman though were wearing the signature Team Rocket outfit, hers being a short white skirt with thigh high black boots, black gloves going up to her shoulders, and a white top with a big red R that barely came down to cover her bust. The man's outfit matched hers of course, except he was wearing pants instead of a skirt, and his shirt covered his entire upper body.

"Team Rocket!" Nurse Joy snarled as she was joined by the trainers, and other Nurses Joy in the Pokemon Center, making the magenta haired women, Jessie, sneer as she said in a condescending voice,

"That's our name, don't wear it out~! Now, hand over all the Pokemon in this joint-"

"-or we'll have to get rough!" James declared as he finished what Jessie was going to say, the two of them holding up Pokeballs threateningly while the Meowth flashed his longs claws, and said,

"Yeah! And no funny business if ya know what I mean!"

The gathered trainers all clenched their fists in frustration as their Pokemon returned to their sides protectively, none of them moving to do as Team Rocket demanded.

"Guess we gotta do this the hard way." Jessie said with a tone as if it couldn't be helped, before she threw her Pokeball and cried out, "Arbok, GO!"

The Pokeball opened to reveal a dark purple serpentine Pokemon that flared its hood threateningly, revealing the eye-like patterns on it that Intimidated the other Pokemon.

"Charrrrrrbok!" The serpent hissed nastily as it eyed the prey before.

"Weezing, show these nobodies what it means to cross Team Rocket!" James cried out as he too threw the Pokeball in his hand, which opened to reveal two purple spheres with faces on them that were joined, and were constantly releasing a steady stream of toxic gasses as it floated in place.

"Weeeeeeeeeez!" The Weezing exclaimed as it looked upon the group before it, as it prepared to do battle.

Just as the fight was about to break out though, a shrill voice declared, "Not on my watch!"

Everyone turned to see a ginger haired young woman standing there, her hair still damp from her shower as she held a Pokeball of her own up.

"Oh? And what do you plan to do little girl? Weezing, smoke them all out!" James taunted before ordering his Weezing to attack, which then shot out a thick cloud of poisonous smoke from the holes in its body as it used it's Smog attack.

Soon the thick and noxious cloud filled the room, prompting a storm of coughing and wheezing from everyone in it, human and Pokemon, as they breathed it in. Everyone except Misty, as she used her shirt to cover her nose and mouth, and threw her Pokeball while crying out,

"Go Starmie!"

"Meeeeeeeeee!" Cried out the purple starfish with ten points and a large gem in its center that appeared.

"Starmie, use Rapid Spin!" Misty cried out, to which her trusted partner responded as it began spinning at high speeds in the middle of the room.

Rather than impacting the Weezing with its momentum though, Starmie swept up all of the Smog in the room in the winds generated by its movements to created a toxic tornado that gave everyone room to breath, literally.

"Humph! Arbok, show that little girl what it means to go against Team Rocket!" Jessie ordered, to which the serpentine Pokemon shot forward past Starmie, and right at Misty herself.

Misty could only watch as if in slow motion as the Pokemon swiftly approached her, it's mouth opening wide to bare it's long and lethal looking fangs that were dripping with poison. She had not time to pull out another Pokeball, and even if she did she wasn't going to bring them out just for the Arbok to literally sink its fangs into.

Her body felt as if she was swimming in molasses as she tried to move out of the way, thugh she knew it was pointless in the back of her mind. As Misty watched the fangs inch closer the only thing going through her mind was, 'this is how it ends?'

Her journey had just started too, the journey to become the greatest water specialist in the world. She had even JUST met someone who had invited her to travel the world with him.

At the last second Misty pictured that man, Ace.

Not just him. She also pictured May and Dawn, the three friends she'd just made, who she could honestly see herself traveling the world with as they pursued their dreams.

Instead of the rapidly approaching fangs, Misty saw them and her sisters in what she thought were her final seconds, when suddenly,

*boom!*

A figure came out of nowhere suddenly and planted their fist directly into the Arbok's lower jaw, slamming them shut as the Pokemon was sent up and back at its trainer.

"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER!" The figure who intervened roared, drawing every single eye to him as the same question appeared in everyone's mind.

"WHY ARE YOU NAKED!?!" Misty roared as she fell to the ground, and now had Ace Ketchum's erect cock directly in front of her face.

Ace however ignored her as he focused his attention on Jessie and James, fury etched on his face as his eyes glowed amber, and his Pokemon rallied around him as their eyes also glowed.

"GUST!" Ace commanded with unquestionable authority, and every single Pokemon that knew the move Gust leapt to do as he commanded.

Immediately the room was filled with powerful winds as the combined Gusts of numerous trained Pokemon blew all of the Smog that Starmie was containing out of the hole Team Rocket had created, along with the Weezing that made it.

"Y-you brat! How dare you blast my Weezing away!" James snarled as he rushed Ace with his fists raised, only to be intercepted by a small blue and black figure that was only a few feet tall.

"Ri!" Riolu cried out as he used a Force Palm on James, sending him flying back through the hole had well.

"Looks like we have to do this the REALLY hard way!" Jessie declared as she produced a retractable baton from the valley between her breasts, which she extended with a flick of her wrist.

Riolu made to step forward to deal with her as well, but his trainer held his hand up to stop him as he stepped forward instead. Jessie just sneered at him as she pressed a button on the baton, and the entire length of it from the top of the tangle up lit up with arcing currents.

Ace's expression never faltered though, even when Jessie swung at him with her full force all he did was casually dodge to the side.

"You're projecting your attacks." Ace stated as if he wasn't concerned at all, making Jessie angrier as she snarled,

"Project this!" She then proceeded to swing the baton wildly in rapid succession as she tried to land at least one attack, only for Ace to effortlessly avoid each and every one, until she swung around to try and hit him with the heel of her boot.

Rather than dodge this time, Ace simply grabbed her ankle, and held her there so she couldn't regain her footing.

"Let go you twerp!" She growled while hopping to try and keep from falling over, to which Ace replied,

"I don't think so." He then began to raise her leg higher, making her balance even more unsteady as she began to hop backwards towards the hole they had made earlier.

"Nice undies." Ace said with a condescending smirk, as he raised her leg so high that Jessie's magenta thong was viewable from under her tight miniskirt.

"Screw you!" Jessie snarled at him from the humiliation she was suffering, to which he replied,

"Maybe later, but for now you should take a hike." As he said that Ace tipped Jessie right into a large basket that was just outside the hole in the wall, which was connected to a Meowth styled hot air balloon.

Already in the basket was James and his Weezing, and when Jessie was added to the pile with her electric baton the three of them were lit up as the electricity coursed through them. To add on the pile, Miltank tossed the Arbok that Ace hit earlier, while Squirtle and Treecko both tossed an unconscious Meowth on top of them all.

By this point the entire group was extra crispy as Ace put his fingers in his mouth, and blew out to create a shrill whistle as he called a certain Pokemon.

"GEOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Pidgeot cried as he swooped down to sink his talons into the edge of the basket, and lifted it up into the air away from the Pokemon Center.

"Thass a bish Pokemon..." Jessie slurred as she looked up at Pidgeot from below, while James added,

"We'll make that twerp pay one day....and nab his Pokemon for Team Rocket..."

"That's the spirit..." Meowth finished, despite none of them moving to get up even as Pidgeot tossed the basket into the air, and beat his wings to produce a massive and powerful Gust.

"""Team Rocket's blasting off...!"""

The three of them exclaimed in a daze as they were sent flying away in the stormy night.

Back in the Pokemon Center, Ace nodded and clapped his hands together like he was clearing them of dust, while turning to his team as he said,

"Good job guys! That'll show Team Rocket what'll happen if they mess with us!"

"Lu!"

"Taaaank!"

Squirtle!"

"Ko..."

As Ace began celebrating with his Pokemon everyone slowly became relieved as they realized their own Pokemon weren't being stolen, until Misty exclaimed,

"That's all well and good, BUT WHY ARE YOU NAKED!"

Her exclamation drew everyone attention to Ace even as he too looked down at his naked body, seemingly forgetting that he had been naked the entire time.

"Well if you got it, flaunt it!" He stated while striking a pose, allowing everyone to see his well developed body. Even Misty couldn't deny Ace had a REALLY nice body... BUT THAT WASN'T THE POINT!

Ace however seemed as if he was finished talking to them for the night, as he said with a wave of his hand,

"Anyways, I'm going to bed for the night, and not even in the fun sense of the word. Damn Team Rocket killed the mood." So, saying goodnight to his team once more, Ace turned and departed down the hall back to his room, where, if Misty guessed correctly from his language, May and Dawn were waiting for him.

"Great..... Now I've got THAT image stuck in my head..." She groaned to herself as she collected her trusty Starmie, and returned to her own room as well.

And shortly after Misty departed to her room, an Officer Jenny arrived to investigate the commotion. Nurse Joy readily told the officer how a Ranger bravely fought and saved them all, with numerous supporting testimonies from the rest of the witnesses, though they hadn't known he was a Ranger before she said it.

None of them mentioned the Ranger's name, or the fact that he had indecently exposed himself in front of them all as he did so.
