Team Rocket Is At It Again

    It was early in the morning; Tauras had just woken up.
    He saw a note next to him. It said “I’m going to the pokécenter for breakfast. Icy”. Tauras figured Icy would do that. Tauras walked outside of Random’s house, he called out Cyberguy (Porygon). He could see Ivan, Random’s Ivysaur running around the yard. He told cyberguy, “Run program 2 wheeler”. Cyberguy converted into a Motorcycle and Tauras got on.
    He rode Cyberguy to the pokécenter. Cyberguy converted back to normal shape and they went inside. He said hi to Icy and asked Nurse Joy” Could you give my Porygon a little jump start from a car battery”. Nurse Joy brought out a car battery and hooked it up to Cyberguy. Cyberguy was blasted with electricity. Tauras went over and sat by Icy. Icy was watching his Abra bend a spoon. “Wow, an Abra those are pretty rare, where did you get him?” asked Tauras. “He was given to me on my birthday, he was my first pokémon. What was your first pokémon?” replied Icy. “I found a Poliwag on the beach in Cinnabar, he was injured badly.
    I took him to a pokécenter and healed him. I recently evolved him into Poliwrath,” said Tauras. Tauras left the building. He heard some people saying that Team Rocket was in town. Tauras entered a field of grass.
    He then heard the voices” Time for trouble. Make it double. Team Rocket blast of at the Speed of Light.
    Surrender now or prepare to fight.” Jessie and James leaped out from behind a bush. “You know where Icy is, tell us or prepare to lose your pokéballs,” said James. “Never,” replied Tauras. Jessie and James sent out Arbok and Weezing. “Cyberguy, use sharpen, then tackle,” said Tauras. Cyberguy seemed to get pointier, and then he lunged at Weezing, cutting him, and knocking him out. “Noooo,” said James. Tauras sent out Voltorb, “Voltorb, use tackle on Arbok,” said Tauras. “VOLTORB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YAAAAAAAAA,” said Jessie, James, and Meowth, then they ran like crazy. “Good job Voltorb, you didn’t even attack them and they ran!” said Tauras. Tauras then told Cyber guy to convert to motorcycle. Tauras then hopped on and the sped to the pokécenter. He ran to Icy. “Team Rocket is here, I battled Jessie and James, they were looking for you,” Tauras told Icy. “I’ll have to be extra careful, if I see them I’ll give them a thundershock,” Icy said.
    “Ok, I don’t think Jessie and James will be here, they are afraid of my Voltorb, but TR will send more agents,” Tauras said. Tauras hopped on Cyberguy and went back to Random’s house. He told the rest of Clan Caterpie what happened. “We should have somebody watching Icy a lot, we can go in shifts, I’ll go first,” said X. Tauras told Cyberguy “Run program Air Jet”. The Porygon converted into a jet. Tauras got on and they went flying around the town. He noticed some people in long black Trench Coats.
    “Cyberguy, see those TR members? Give them a Thundershock,” Tauras told Cyberguy. “Porygon gon gon Por,” said Cyberguy, and then he fired some blasts of electricity at the TR members.
    Later, Tauras was walking around Celadon City, with his Poliwrath riding his Porygon behind him. He saw a trainer walking around, so he asked him “Hey, want to do a 2 on 2 pokémon battle?” Tauras asked. “Sure,” replied the Trainer. The trainer sent out a Machamp. “Go Vennie,” said Tauras. Venusaur (Vennie) materialized from his pokéball. “Vennie, use Vine Whip,” Tauras said. “Machamp, block the vines, then use Karate Chop,” said the Trainer. Machamp kept blocking the vines, but one hit him in the leg. Machamp screamed in agony and leaped at Venusaur, he brought back one of his arms, and slammed it against Vennie. Vennie fainted, and Tauras sent out his Jolteon (Hyper). “Hyper, use Sand attack, then follow up with a Thundershock,” Tauras commanded. Hyper began to kick sand in Machamp’s eyes, lowering his accuracy. Hyper then fired blasts of electricity at Machamp, knocking him out. The trainer sent out a Fearow. “Fearow, use Wing attack,” said the Trainer. The Fearow flew at Hyper, but Hyper saw him coming and gave him a Thundershock, knocking him out of the air. Hyper then used a takedown, making the Fearow faint. “Wow, good job, take this,” said the trainer, the trainer handed him some money. Tauras hopped on Porygon and they went to the pokécenter. Tauras handed a Chansey the pokéball with Vennie in it. Chansey took it into a back room. Icy wasn’t there, so Tauras just stood and waited. The Chansey came back with his pokéball. Tauras walked back to Random’s house. He walked inside and saw that Icy was asleep, with a bottle of Ketchup next to him. Insanellama was cleaning his weapons. Tauras said hi, and sat down. Tauras sent out Vennie. Vennie went outside by Random’s Ivysaur, Ivan. After watching Ivan and Vennie play for a while Tauras fell asleep.
    Tauras woke up. He went into the kitchen and saw that the rest of Clan Caterpie was up. Ivan (Random’s Ivysaur) and Vennie (Tauras’s Venusaur) were eating something that looked like Puppy Chow. “About time you got up, we thought you’d sleep till noon,” Lonewolf said. “Where is Icy?” asked Tauras. “He is at the pokécenter, getting his morning dose of electricity,” replied Random “He told us to meet him there when you woke up”. “Lets get going, now that you’re up,” said Insanellama.
    The group left Random’s house and walked to the pokécenter. Ivan and Vennie were hopping like crazy to keep up. They eventually reached the pokécenter and saw Icy sitting on a table, eating an apple.
    “Piki Piki Pi,” said Icy. “Oops, forgot the translator, anyways hi,” Icy said into the translator. “So what’s the plan for today?” asked Lonewolf. “I know of a national park east of Celadon. We can take out pokémon there and get them in shape, we want them to look good at the auction, right?” said Icy. Black Hole, Tauras, Insanellama, Lonewolf, and Random nodded their heads yes. “Great, we can take my Porygon,” Icy said happily.
    The group went outside, Icy called out his Porygon and they all got on. He took off, and headed for the east side of the city. They eventually landed in a large field of tall grass and trees. “Call out any of your pokémon that you want, they can graze on the grass, hunt, etc,” Icy said as the Porygon landed. Insanellama sent out Rapidash and Ponyta. The horse like pokémon began to graze.
    Random sent out Ivan, Snorlax, and Wigglytuff.
    Snorlax went to sleep by a tree, Ivan began to happily run and hop around. Wigglytuff also went to sleep.
    Tauras sent out his herd of Tauros, and Arbok.
    The Tauros began to graze, and the Arbok went into his hunting for Rattata position. Lonewolf sent out Vulpix and her Tauros. Icy sent out all his Caterpies and his Abra. Black hole sent out Clefairy and Wigglytuff. Every one and their pokémon was having a great time, little did they know somebody was watching them. “Remember, we grab Icy and run,” said Meowth to Jessie and James. “We remember,” they said. Jessie and James began to crawl to the tree Icy was in. Unfortunately for them so was Tauras’s Arbok. Arbok must have mistaken them for a large rat, so he lunged forward, fangs out in front. He sunk his fangs into James, inserting the Venom, and then he lunged back. Icy saw it happen and began to fire thundershocks at them. Jessie pulled James back, but before they could reach the trees they were cut off by a lot of Tauros, 10 Caterpie, 2 Wigglytuffs, a Venusaur and Ivysaur, a Vulpix, an Abra, a Clefairy, a Rapidash and Ponyta, and a Snorlax. Ivan and Vennie were about to tie them up with vines, when a Helicopter with a big R on it came and lifted Jessie and James away. “Well, that taught them that if they go against Clan Caterpie they’ll get whooped Insect-Style,” said Icy. The group called back their pokémon and they took Icy’s Porygon back to Celadon. It was already dark, so they went to sleep.
    It was early, around 5:00 am. All of Clan Caterpie was asleep, except for Icy. Icy made a note telling the rest of Clan Caterpie to meet him at the Center. Icy walked outside and called out Porygon. He noticed a man wearing a black shirt with a big red R on it. He began to say, “Surrender now Icy, or I’ll have...” but before he finished Icy gave him a Thunderbolt and yelled “Pikachu Pika pi pi!!!” That was enough to send the man running like crazy, but it also woke up the rest of Clan Caterpie. InsaneLlama, X, Random, Tauras, Lonewolf, and Black Hole came running out. “What happened?” asked X. “A Team Rocket member tried to capture me again, but I gave him a thunderbolt in the arm,” replied Icy. “Now that you guys are up, come with me to the pokécenter,” said Icy. Everyone got on Icy’s Porygon and they headed to the pokécenter.
    Icy went with Nurse Joy to a room in back. He came back with an apple. Random and Tauras had each ordered a Cappuccino; they were both shaking from the caffeine. “I’m a little short on cash, I’m gonna go fight that guy out their for some money,” said InsaneLlama. He walked out and asked for a 2 on 2 battle. The man agreed and sent out a Tangela, InsaneLlama sent out Ponyta. “Ponyta, use ember!” yelled Insane. Ponyta began to breath fire out at Tangela, Tangela evaded and used vine whip. Ponyta was hit hard and fainted. InsaneLlama then sent out Rapidash, “Rapidash, Stop him!” Insane said. Rapidash reared up and came down on Tangela, knocking it out. The trainer then sent out a Sandslash. “Sandslash, use scratch!” said the Trainer. Sandslash leaped at Rapidash; Rapidash saw him coming and gave him a blast of fire. Sandslash fell back in pain, then got up and tried again, and was met with fire again. Sandslash fainted, and the man handed some money to Insane. InsaneLlama handed Ponyta to Nurse Joy.
    “Good job, you’ll need that money for the auction!” said Icy. Icy had finished his apple and was sucking on a bottle of ketchup. “So what are we going to do today?” asked Tauras. No one answered.
    “Well I guess that means we have no clue!” 2 men with TR badges came in holding empty pokéballs, they threw them at Icy, but Icy set up a psyonic shield to stop them. X threw 2 knives at them; one of them was struck in the foot, the other in the hand. They ran very fast. X walked up and took his knives. “Good shot X!” cheered Lonewolf. “So what’s next?” asked Random.
    Again no one answered.
