The group had calmed down once again. It seemed Team Rocket wouldn’t rest until Clan Caterpie had been eliminated. Icy was being healed while the others finished their lunch.
“Let’s go check out the boats in the harbor,” Icy said into his translator.
“Nah, you and Mike go. You guys probably need to do some catching up.” Llama said.
“OK, but I’m taking my Dugtrio and Bulbasaur with me too. Just in case.” He tied their pokéballs to his tail. He and Mike left for the harbor.
“Sooooo…. What’s it like being a Pikachu?”
“Ahh. It’s not that bad. I have to be careful no one tries to capture me. But other than that, I feel great.”
“Hmm. I wish I could be a pokémon too. If I was a pokémon, I’d want to be a Ditto. They are so cool!”
“Yeah. I want to capture on of them.”
They continued walking. Christof had informed Team Rocket about where they were headed. “I want Icy, alive.” 3 elite members of TR left a secret hideout in Vermilion and began converging on Icy and Mike.
“Icy… I think someone’s following us…” Mike pointed indirectly at 3 black figures a few meters behind them.
“I sense them. Come’n…” Icy led Mike down one of the piers. The Rockets followed them. “Quick, in here.” They jumped into a small boat with a cover over it. The Rockets walked by.
“Where did they go? I just saw them.” They looked and searched, but never thought about looking in the boat. “Forget this. If Christof wants that Icy kid so badly, he can do it himself. I hate psychics, especially one’s who think they are all that.” “Yeah, let’s go. We can ambush Clan Caterpie again at night when they least expect it.” They ran off, laughing about the plan they were concocting.
“Are they gone?” Icy asked Mike. “Yes. We’ve got to warn the others!” Mike replied. They jumped out of the boat and headed back to the pokécenter to warn Insane and the others.
Icy and Mike came running in, out of breath. “Tea…..ket…. ter… aterpie.” said Mike.
“Slow down there, catch yer breath and try it again.” said Insanellama. Mike and icy waited a second, and then told them about the three members of TR, and the threat on Icy’s life.
“Well, that don’t change things too much, now we just gotta be twice as careful.” said Insanellama.
“Let’s all go discuss this in private outside, the building might be bugged,” said Toocold. “Ok we can talk here,” said toocold when they were about 20 yards away from the clubhouse.
“I say we blow this popsicle stand, and meat the S.S. Anne at fuchsia.” said toocold. “We can stay with koga at his gym, I trained under Blaine, and Koga is a good friend of his” said Firestorm.
“First, let’s leave a little something at the post office for christof to remember us by, a poster in the known-team rocket members book,” said toocold, taking a picture from his bag. They walked over to the post office, as Toocold assembled the entry for the book. “Hello, we’d like to put this in the Known Team Rocket Members Book please,” said toocold to the attendant. “Ok,” she took the poster, and put it in. They started walking southwest,” Ok everyone, we are gonna need water pokemon to pull a raft to fuchsia across this gap of water up ahead,” said Toocold.
X was becoming disturbed by the easy-to-follow trail they were leaving, and fell back a little to cover their tracks.
When they got to the water’s edge, icy decided to go fishing. After about half an hour he caught a horsea. They hitched Horsea, and squirtle to a raft, and sailed to Fuschia. When they got their, Firestorm lead them to the gym.
“Honored master koga, may we stay in your abode until this Saturday? My master blaine said to bid you hello.” said Firestorm to Koga.
“You may stay, my aide will show you to your rooms.” said Koga. With that, they went to sleep in their rooms, which were adjoining.
