Immediately upon leaving the theatre both Shampoo and Ryoga dashed off, while Dec and James walked away slowly. “There you are!” Cat said cheerfully.

 

Dec looked at his colleague with suspicion. “You’re usually not that happy to see us.”

 

Cat smiled. “That’s beacause we just had a call from Gio. He wants the same four in again, but since Ryoga and Shampoo left, you two will do.”

 

“Why do I have to go?” James and Dec whined in unison.

 

“Because I say so!” Cat glared at both of them. “You’ll go in, whether you like it or not.”

 

“Yes miss.” The duo gave up.

 

Cat looked around. Who else to pick? She grinned, remembering when she was in the theatre. “Oh mister Giles? We need another volunteer for the chapter?” She asked in her sweetest voice.

 

“No! One chapter of that insanity was quite enough.” The librarian replied gruffly.

 

“But you’re not scared, are you, mister Giles? I mean, you’re brave and strong and surely a man like you doesn’t fear anything?” Cat gushed. Jessie looked at her suspiciously.

 

“You know what James, I’ll go in to hold your hand.” She offered her fellow Rocket.

 

“You will Jess? You really care about me, don’t you?” James said, grinning widely.

 

“I sure do.” Jessie smiled.

 

Meanwhile, Cat had stroked Giles’ ego enough to talk him into the theatre. “So, who’s coming with me?” He asked.

 

James and Dec sulked a “We are.” While Jessie grinned and replied the same answer.  Cat looked fairly disgruntled.

 

“I wanted to go on!” The former presenter argued.

 

“Well Cat, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. And you’d only lose your sanity, the little that’s left of it.” Jessie replied sweetly. Cat pouted and left to terrorize Ant and the other into making doilies.

 

“So, shall we?” Jessie said cheerfully and was followed into the theatre by the other three men.

 

 

A/N: I’m not as high on sugar as I was when I wrote the last chapter, so things aren’t as interesting as they were. 

 

            JAMES: “We won’t  mind, things weren’t interesting anyway.”

 

Sort of.  There’s more of the villains and stuff like that.

 

            JESSIE: “Like robots? Henchman? Secret underground lairs?”

 

I was also a bit distracted while writing this and stuff. OK.  This crossover thing is coming along pretty good, except for the distraction of the TV being in the same room as the good comp…  Well there’s nothing to say except WHAT A LOAD OF STOLEN POKIES AND DIGIS!

 

            GILES: “I have nothing to say but: What a load of capitals.”

 

Chapter 4

 

Seeing Purple and Red

 

All E needed was a disguise. 

 

DEC: “Wait, is this a Men in Black fic? I thought this was a Digimon/Pokémon crossover!”

            GILES: “And you think you’re confused.”

 

Luckily, she had her ways. What E needed to do was steal the Team Rocket uniform and find a way to get Jessie and James back together before the world of pokemon was destroyed.

 

JESSIE sarcastic: “Ah, how sweet, a self inserted character. Go away, you Mary-Sue!”

 

E was ready for this. 

 

            GILES: “She had an ‘Stop the world from destroying’o-matic in her backpocket.”

            DEC: “I used to have one of those, they were good!”

 

She just had a delivery-girl outfit because she and J also had a part-time job delivering pizza back at home. She went to the dry cleaner’s in Jamassia City because it was cheaper and was there right before the Arbok attacks.

 

            JAMES: “Ah, yes, the psycho Arbok.” (shivers)

 

E slipped tentatively into the nearest phone booth and began to change into her outfit. 

 

            GILES: “So she’s a crimefighter then?”

            DEC: “I wonder if she comes out with her underwear over her pants.”

            JESSIE: “Not everybody’s like you.”

 

She also had the old pizza box that wasn’t covered in grease.

 

            DEC: “Why, it could be grease lightning!”

 

Finally, she exited and ran to the headquarters as quickly as she could.  E was in on the plan.

           

            JAMES: “She’d better be in on her own plan, whatever it is.”

 

“Yes, what is it?” asked a grouchy voice when she reached the gate.  A security camera was monitoring her every move.

 

            DEC: “And simultaneously taping it to watch in private.”

            JESSIE: “Man, those delivery outfits are almost smaller than ours.”

 

“I’m here to deliver a pizza,” E lied.

 

 “We didn’t order any pizza,” said the voice.

 

            GILES “I wonder how many times that excuse actually works in real life.”

 

 “Well, I got an order for somebody named Butch? 

 

            JAMES as voice: “Oh, Harry the Butcher, our most respected assassin. Come in.”

 

Said he was hungry while watching the game on TV…

 

            JESSIE: “Hmm, since it’s Team Rocket, could be the annual cross dress competition.”

            DEC: “Who won last year?”

JAMES: “We did, obviously! My cross-dressing abilities are known through out the entire organisation.”

GILES: “Ha! It’s obvious I was never a part of your organisation, you wouldn’t have stood a chance!”

            JAMES: “I challenge you to a cross-dressing duel!”

            GILES: “You’re on!”

 

Well, if you don’t let me deliver it to him, I’ll get fired!” E lied.

 

“Who cares about your stupid job?” asked the voice.

 

DEC: “Her boss. There’s only a limited amount of people willing to deliver pizza for minimum pay.”

 

“Just let me deliver the pizza and it’s free!” E exclaimed.

 

            JAMES: “Why wasn’t Aoi like that?”

            JESSIE: “If she keeps giving away pizza’s, she sure to get fired.”

 

 The gates opened.  “Come on in,” said the voice.

 

E took the pizza box in her hand and strutted through the gates to the inside of the Team Rocket headquarters.  Once she was inside, she threw the pizza box out the doors and ran along the halls.  “SUCKERS!” she exclaimed.

 

            GILES: “What happened to that security camera? Don’t they have one on the inside?”

            DEC: “Shouting while sneaking in isn’t exactly smart either.”

 

Finally, E reached the clothing department.

 

            GILES: “Is black and white the only type of uniform you people have? That’s dull.”

JAMES: “Who made you a fashion critic?”

 

She grabbed the black uniform that looked like Cassidy’s and put it on along with some blue square earrings.  E discarded the pizza girl uniform and slipped it in her bag.  Just then she ran into James and Mondo.

 

            JESSIE: “Weird sentence that is, like she entered into their bodies or something.”

            JAMES: “Thanks for the scary visual.”

 

 “Who the heck are you?” asked Mondo.

 

 “Looks like a new girl.  Fresh meat!” James exclaimed.

 

            GILES as James: “I call dibs on the legs.”

            DEC as Mondo: “Good for you I prefer breast.”

 

 “Actually, I’m Erika,” said E, using her name.  “I’m Domino’s new partner.

 

            JAMES: “Nah, Domino’s partner’s called Monopoly.”

 

There was this gangster named Erika Domino who lived in… uh… Wisconsin.  In America. 

 

            DEC: “I thought Wisconsin, France.”

 

She used to steal cheese.

 

            JESSIE: “I thought she was a gangster? What kind of gangster steals cheese?”

GILES: “You mean you don’t know about the Demonic Brethren of Night who worship a demon similar to a rodent and are therefore forced to steal cheese?”

JAMES: “You’d be amazed at how little we know about them.”

 

Giovanni thought we’d make a new partnership.  I used to steal pokemon all the time in sixth and seventh grade.  Had the middle school in an uproar for two years!”

 

            DEC as Erika: “’Cause I gave ‘em back after that.”

 

“Whatever,” said Mondo, who obviously didn’t care.

 

“And to be an official member, I need some dirt on the members.  You must be James, the one with the blue hair.  Is that man your partner?” Erika asked James.

 

            DEC as James: “In more ways than one.”

 

“Well… I don’t really… uh… Mondo is my partner?” asked James. 

 

            GILES as Mondo: “Whatever, as long as I don’t have to wear the skirt.”

 

He was hesitant to tell Erika about Jessie and her being temporarily laid off.  “Well, he’s not really…”

 

JESSIE as James: “Human. Don’t tell anyone, but the boss is making a secret robot army.”

GILES as Erika: “Then you’d better not tell about his plans with it, or how large it is.”

            JESSIE as James: “Exactly, that’s why I’m not telling that it consists of several thousands and that he plans on attacking Pokémon centres around with it.”

 

“I’ve heard the members of Team Rocket are put in partners when their names together make one of an outlaw’s.

 

            JAMES: “No they don’t. Imagine that, it’d take forever to pair people up.

            It’s just a coincedence.”

 

I’ve never heard of Mondo James or James Mondo. 

 

            DEC: “Wasn’t James Mondo bad guy number two in Die Hard?”

            GILES: “No, that’s the second movie.”

            JESSIE: “You’re both wrong. James Mondo invented origami.”

JAMES: “What was there to invent? It was folding paper in weird shapes, that’s not inventing, that’s being bored.”

 

I think a person like you would be partnered up with someone named Jessie,” said Erika very sneakily.

 

“What about me?” asked Mondo.

 

DEC as Erika: “Well, according to several shippers, you could go both with Jessie or James. Take your pick.”

 

“Dunno?” Erika admitted.  “Alone?  So you mean you’re just James?

 

            JESSIE as Erika: “No last name?”

 

Working alone?  I’ve heard of Jesse James and Erika Domino, but just plain James and just plain Domino are just plain WRONG!”

 

GILES: “What’s wrong with two men working together? I have enjoyed many hours with Ethan, working on spells and nothing went wrong. We even shared the bedroom”

            DEC: “Exactly. I’ve worked with Ant for ages and we’ve never had a problem.”

 

James looked as if he were about to burst.  “FINE!  OK, I ADMIT IT! 

 

            JESSIE as James: “I ate the last chocolate chip cookie!”

 

I had a partner named Jessie.  Just recently, she was sort of laid off by Giovanni because she sort of bit off more than she could chew. She said she could build her own

 

            JAMES as himself: “Barbie dreamhouse, complete with pink wallpaper.”

 

villain dream team that’s better than me and Meowth so Giovanni partnered me up with Mondo because he’s always saving my butt whenever we’re stuck in the trees and stuff.”

 

            GILES: “Well, that does create a bond that lasts a life time!”

 

“Now, I’m new to this and I’ve never seen her before in my life. What’s she like?” asked Erika.

 

            DEC: “Dominant, aggressive, bossy, bitchy…”

            JESSIE: “How about you have a private conversation with Mister Mallet here, hmm?”

DEC: “And there’s her beauty that inspires all, her magnificent handling of mallets and her keen fashion sense.”

JESSIE: “You left out ‘amazing, pretty  and more divine than most goddesses.”

 

“Well, she has red hair, blue eyes, about as tall as I am, really nasty attitude, snobbish voice, very beautiful, likes to whap me on the head whenever I mess up—“

 

            GILES as James: “And she never lets me borrow her pumps.”

 

“With what?”

 

“Anything.  Frying pans, mallets, once even a baseball bat.  Really sucks to be me when she’s nasty.  Otherwise, she’s actually a great person. 

 

            JAMES: “That description doesn’t make her sound nice at all.”

 

She’s got the best hair and everything.  She deserves the best.”

 

“Really?” asked Erika, knowing she was really getting stuff.  “So, she’s an OK gal once you ignore the thwapping on the head?”

 

“More than that,” said James.  “I never told you this, but…”  He sighed. 

 

            JESSIE as James: “She’s actually a goddess. A goddess of love.”

 

“I have a crush on her.”

 

“WHAT?!  Shut up!” Erika interjected,

 

            DEC as Erika: “I love Jessie!”

            GILES: “Are you sure you said that as Erika?”

 

more surprised at James actually telling her than him having his little infatuation.

 

“So do I,” Mondo admitted.

 

“Me too!”  It turned out Cassidy and Butch were in the same hall and overheard everything.  Butch admitted he felt the same way.

 

            JESSIE as Giovanni: “I always loved her.”

            JAMES as himself: “You can’t have her! She’s my true love!”

            DEC as Mondo: “I saved her her life various times!”

GILES as Butch: “I have to spend the rest of my life with Cassidy if I can’t have Jessie!”

JESSIE grinning: “It feels good to be loved.”

 

“JERK!”  Cassidy slapped Butch’s face and stomped off.

 

JESSIE: “Her partner just expressed his undying love for me and that’s the best she can do? She doesn’t deserve to be a Rocket!”

 

She was raging mad and could have used worse words.  She turned around and yelled to the males, “YOU BUNCH OF DIRTY (A/N: I censored it.)!  I can’t believe you!”  Then she left.

 

DEC: “Nothing else? No revenge, no threatening to cut off various bits of the male anatomy?”

 

“Rrreow,” muttered Erika, imitating a cat.

 

            GILES: “Badly.”

 

“Pay no attention to Cassidy there,” said Mondo.  “She’s just jealous.”

 

“Thing is, I think we’ve all had crushes on Jessie, but we just haven’t admitted it to each other,” said James. Then he started laughing.

 

JESSIE as James: “Haha, there’s hundreds of men competing for her love, how amusing!”

 

“We really want her back,” added Butch.  “I even talked to Giovanni, but he said ‘Take that back or you’ll see a 90% deduction in your paycheck!’”

 

            JAMES: “He gets a paycheck?!”

 

“Can you help us, Erika?  We need Jessie back!” James implored.  “I need Jessie back!”

 

“I think my friend Jenny can help with that one,” said Erika.

 

            JESSIE: “Officer Jenny? She’d never help us.”

 

Suddenly Domino came running through the halls and spotted Erika talking to the boys.  “Who the hell are you?” she asked.

 

DEC as Mondo: “Er, I’m Mondo, remember? The guy you’ve been questioning without any subtlety?”

            GILES as James: “I’m James, from Team Rocket! I want a doughnut.”

 

“I’m your partner.  Erika!  Remember?” 

 

JESSIE as Erika: “Remember? You said you loved me and that we’d spend eternity together!”

           

Obviously she wasn’t ready for this.

 

“I’ve never seen you in my life,” said Domino truthfully.  “IMPOSTOR!”

 

Erika looked at James, then Mondo, then Butch.  Then she looked at Domino.

 

            GILES: “Then she looked at James, Mondo, Butch and Domino again.”

 

“She’s quite the pretender, isn’t she?  She wanted to keep me a surprise, but—“

 

“LIAR!  LIAR!  LIAR!”

 

            DEC: “Pants on fire!”

 

Domino incriminated.  “I’m taking you to Giovanni, and boy is he gonna be mad!  And James and Mondo, don’t you have that special mission to go on with the RocketMen?”

 

            GILES: “Hmm, that mission sounds a bit dodgy if you ask me.”

            JAMES: “Rocketwhat?”

            DEC: “The RocketMen. Who are they, the self-exploding suicide squad?”

 

“Oh, right!  Bye!”  James ran off, followed by Mondo.  Obviously they didn’t want to see Domino get mad.

 

            GILES: “’Cause it ain’t gonna be pretty.”

 

“But what about Erika Domino?  The famous American gangster?  The cheese thief?” Mondo asked.  Seeing Domino’s face, he frantically ran off.

 

            JESSIE: “Come on, she’s not THAT ugly.”

 

“Where are you taking me?” asked Erika as Domino dragged her along the hallway.

 

            JAMES as Domino: “Where all our Rocket-rejects end up.”

            DEC as Domino: “Send on an endless chase after some 10 year old and his Pikachu.”

            JESSIE: “We’re not rejects!”

 

“We’re gonna see exactly what you were doing,” Domino replied indignantly.  “And possibly lock you up!”

 

“But aren’t I allowed one call before I go to prison?” asked Erika.

 

            GILES as Domino: “Not until you’ve been arrested.”

 

They stopped at a phone.  “There, princess,” said Domino.  “Call somebody who cares.”

 

            JAMES as Erika: “Santa Claus?”

 

Erika picked up the receiver and dialed the number of the pokemon center.  Jenny answered.

 

            JESSIE: “What’s an officer doing there?”

 

“Hello, Jamassia City Pokemon Center.  I’m sorry, but Nurse Joy isn’t here, so can I take a message for her or Claire?” Jenny answered the phone.

 

“Hello?  It’s me,” said Erika.

 

            DEC as Erika: “Remember me from that night on the beach?”

 

“Erika?” Jenny asked.  “Where are you?  Did your plan work?”

 

            GILES as Erika: “Why yes, my plan to get caught by Domino worked out great!”

 

“No!” Erika squealed.  “Domino caught me, and boy is she mad.  Look, she’s taking me to Giovanni, so I need you to…”

 

            JESSIE as Erika: “Call my pimp. He’ll know what to do.”

 

she lowered her voice at that point.  “…think of a plan to get Jessie back.  Did Ash tell you anything?”

 

            JAMES as Jenny: “Well, apart from ‘I cheated on my Math test last year’, nothing.”

 

“Yeah,” Jenny replied.  “So did Tai.  All I need to do is to get between her and some really nasty digimon known as Myotismon.”

 

            GILES: “Bless you.” 

DEC: “There’s that guy again. What’s so cool about that makes everyone want to write about him?”

 

“And can you bail me out?” asked Erika.

 

“Oh, I’ve got an alibi for you that’ll get another member into trouble and you safe,” said Jenny.  “Please let this work…”  She told Erika an airtight alibi that was sure to work.

 

            GILES: “The author however, was not in on the alibi, so she made some lame excuse.”

 

“Well I gotta go try to become a villain so this’ll work…”  Jenny hung up.

 

            JESSIE as Jenny: “Where’s that ridiculous costume I made?”

 

“Come on.”  Domino dragged Erika along the hall until they got to Giovanni’s office.  The judgement was imminent.

 

            JAMES as Giovanni: “I sentence you to a 48-hour marathon of Westlife videos.”

            DEC as Erika: “No! Lord, have mercy on my soul!”

           

Would Erika be locked up forever, or would Jenny’s alibi work?

 

            GILES: “Tune in next time for ‘As the world hurls.’”

 

Meanwhile, the pokemon and digimon stolen from the pokemon center were all locked up in different prisons.  Well, not all of them.  The crappy ones were still at the pokemon center.

 

JESSIE: “Come on, the crappy ones have uses as well! They can wave coolness as me with large leaves or something.”

 

“Wow, a Scyther!  You’re going in here with the other sharp pointy insects!”

 

            JAMES: “Bad idea, unless you want to get the Beedrill to get very angry.”

 

A Bakemon forced that thing into the prison cell.  It was now stuffed (The prison, not the Scyther.)

 

            DEC: “Thanks for clearing that up.”

 

 “The master’s going to be proud.”

 

“You mean the masters ARE going to be proud,” another Bakemon corrected the first.

 

            GILES as Bakemon 2: “Remember, he’s royalty now.”

 

“That redhead?

 

            JESSIE: “It’s pink!”

 

Gatomon says Demidevimon says she’s in love with Myotismon.  Oh, look, it’s a Tentacruel!  The water tank for you, baby!”  Bakemon #2 pushed the Tentacruel into the water tank with dozens of other scared water pokemon. “In love?” asked a third Bakemon.  “Who’d ever be in love with Myotismon?  He’s too nasty to be loved! 

 

            JAMES: “What does a smelly ghost thing know of the miracles of love?”

 

Hey, we got ourselves an authentic Pikachu!” (That was Ash’s Pikachu.)  “I thought those things only existed in Jhotoan myths!  The master’s gonna adore having you part of his team!” “We got us some digimon here!” Bakemon #1 exclaimed.  “What to do about these guys?”  They were all asleep from the recovery, so they didn’t know a thing.

 

            DEC: “Hah, they didn’t know much before either.”

 

“Lock ‘em up and give the Agumon to the master. Him and Pikachu’s gonna make the best partnership,” said Bakemon #2.

 

JESSIE: “What, a fire-breathing little dinosaur and a yellow rat? Well, they wouldn’t make a bad colour combination, but otherwise…”

 

“What about this guy?” asked Bakemon #1, referring to Erika’s Wizardmon.

 

“Nah, we got one of those,” said Bakemon #3.  “He goes in the prison.”

 

“Have fun!” exclaimed Bakemon #1, throwing all the digimon except Agumon in the prison and all the pokemon except Pikachu in the prisons.

 

JAMES: “That’s not fair. The Digimon just get one prison and Pokémon each get their own!”

 

He chained and handcuffed Agumon and Pikachu.  “What were you saying about the little romance between Jessie and the master?”

 

            GILES: “The Master? But Buffy killed him and everything! He’s dead! He’s ash!”

            JESSIE confused: “Ash is a vampire? But he walks around in the sun!”

            JAMES comforting Jessie: “Maybe he’s just a very stupid vampire.”

 

“Demidevimon says Jessie’s in love.  Gatomon said that,” replied Bakemon #2.  “Now let’s get these things outta here before they wake up!”  He dragged Agumon and Bakemon #3 dragged Pikachu down the prison hallway until they reached one of the larger cavernous rooms.

 

“We have something that’ll make excellent slaves for you!” Bakemon #1 called out.

 

            GILES as Bakemon 1: “We captured this singer called ‘Britney Spears’.”

 

MM and Jessie appeared in the distance and stepped down the stone stairs.

 

            JESSIE: “Hmm, he doesn’t look half bad, actually.”

            JAMES: “Sure, if you ignore the weird mask and the scarily thin waste.”

            JESSIE: “Jealous?”

 

“Agumon and Pikachu!”

 

Jessie stepped over and examined the Pikachu.  “This is the twerps’ Pikachu!” she exclaimed.  “With him, we can do incredible things!  Incredibly evil things!

 

            DEC as Jessie: “Like making them do karaoke!”

 

Right, Myo?” (Jessie’s pet name for Myotismon!)

 

            GILES: “Isn’t that cute, puppy love.”

            (THWAP)

            JESSIE: “Let that be a lesson for all.”

 

“Yes, Jessie,” said MM.  “This Agumon belongs to Tai Kamiya the digi-destined.  When I make him dark warp digivolve to Blackwargreymon we will be unstoppable!”

 

“So you like them?” asked Bakemon #2 naïvely.

 

JAMES as Myotismon: “We simply adore them! They go great with the new curtains we ordered in!”

 

“Of course we like them!” Jessie snapped.  “We’ll keep them and influence them until Pikachu evolves into Raichu and Ash won’t know what hit him!

 

            GILES: “I’m guessing about 10 million volt.”

 

Now get outta here before I change my mind!”

 

The Bakemon chained Pikachu and Agumon to the wall and watched innocently. That was when Agumon and Pikachu started to awaken.

 

“Pikapi!” Pikachu exclaimed.  It meant “Let me out!”

 

            JESSIE: “No, I’m sure that specific dialect means ‘Kinky’!”

 

“Where’s Tai?” asked Agumon.

 

“Tai is gone,” said Jessie.  “We’re your new masters now!”

 

            DEC: “Didn’t know you were into that stuff, Jess.”

            (THWAP)

            JESSIE: “Stop that.”

 

Myotismon threw a dark spiral at Pikachu and another one at Agumon.

 

            GILES: “But that doesn’t happen until season two!”

            JAMES: “You watch Digimon?”

            GILES: “Well, yes, well, business has been slow lately.”

 

“You won’t remember a thing except being our slaves!  MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!”

 

            JAMES: “And breath.”

 

The dark spirals were thrown through the air

 

            DEC: “What, not through water?”

 

before one snapped around Agumon’s tail and the other around Pikachu’s hind leg. Then they were stuck.  With the black gears, Agumon and Pikachu’s eyes grew red.

 

            JESSIE as evil Pikachu: “Must. Kill. Twerp.”

 

“Pikapi chu,” said Pikachu in a deeper voice.

 

            JAMES: “About time his voice broke.”

 

“I am at your commands, Masters Myotismon and Jessie,” said Agumon.  “Forever.  The rest of my life.”

 

            GILES as Agumon: “And after that some more.”

 

“Unchain them,” said Myotismon.  “The dark spirals are in full commission!”

 

            DEC: “Are they spirals, gears, or both?”

 

“And I know exactly how to test their powers,” said Jessie.  “Believe me, this is gonna be sweet!”

 

            JAMES: “Let’s resist the urge to make a ‘Dude where’s my car,’ reference shall we?”

 

“Prepare for trouble!”

 

“And make it double!”

 

“To infect the world with devastation!”

 

            JESSIE: “Quit butchering our motto!”

 

“To plight all the peoples within our nation!”

 

            JAMES: “Plight? Who uses a word like that”

 

That night at 8:30, Cassidy and Butch

 

            GILES: “So they made up then?”

 

were at it in a city near Jamassia City, known as Orbidian City. This one had no gym but an excellent place for breeding pokemon.  They were not only going to steal the pokemon but all the money there.

 

            DEC: “And the food, while they were at it.”

           

And by the futuristic and technical looks of it, this was going to be chock full of money.

 

            JAMES: “So they can afford a high-tech breeding centre, but they don’t have a gym?”

 

The breeding center was one story high but had a very high ceiling.  There was a big reception room and plenty of specialized areas for different pokemon.  Everything was up-to-date,

 

            JESSIE: “If you lived in the 70’s.”

 

if not postmodern.  It was where mostly rich people and powerful gym leaders took their pokemon to be breeded.  The breeding center was what Orbidian City was famous for.

 

            GILES: “Considering they haven’t got anything else.”

            JAMES: “You mean you don’t know Orbidian City for it’s traditional Pidgey clocks?”

            GILES: “Can’t say I do.”

            JAMES: “Neither can I.”

 

“Fine, just take all the money you want, but NOT THE POKEMON!” 

 

GILES as Braveheart: “They can ta’k our money, but they can never ta’k our Pokémon!”

 

The person behind the desk held his hands up in fear. Butch started stuffing the money into a money bag he brought.

 

“And anyone who gets in my way will have to answer to Raticate!” added Cassidy

 

            DEC: “That’ll make an interesting conversation.”

 

as she started to head near the place where the pokemon were kept.  She even brandished her pokeball for the effect.

 

“You can’t do this to us!” a person in line to have her pokemon returned implored.  “Pokemon are very important to all Jhotoans and if you take them away from us—“

 

            GILES as person: “I’m gonna tell your mommy!”

 

“Shut up!” Butch growled as he emptied the safes and even people’s purses.  “Gad, the boss is gonna be proud of us!”

 

            JAMES: “Gad? Now they replaced Giovanni as well?”

 

“And now for the pokemon!” Cassidy declared to the people in the huge reception room, who were all lined up against the wall in fear.  Some were clutching their pokeballs

 

            DEC: “Didn’t know some people kept those inside their pants.”

 

and valuables.  “This looks very promising,” she said as she opened the door.  “What to start with, rarest or most powerful?”

 

Before Butch could answer, there was a crashing noise above everyone as the ceiling was magically lifted off and then crashed far away.

 

            JESSIE: “Magically? I don’t believe in magic.”

            GILES: “Well done, you just killed another fairy.”

            JESSIE: “Good, they’re annoying little pests anyway.”

 

“What’s going on?” asked Cassidy.  “Is that you, Domino?  Or is it some team who’s worse team than Team Rocket?  Oh God no!”

 

            GILES as Cassidy: “Not my third grade teacher!”

 

“We ARE worse than Team Rocket!” Jessie exclaimed as smoke filled the entire reception room.  “And I’d like everyone to prepare for trouble!”

 

            JAMES: “And make it double!”

            JESSIE: “To protect the world from devastation!”

            JAMES: “To unite all peoples within our nation!”

            GILES: “Could you stop that?”

            JAMES: “Oh, well, we couldn’t resist.”

 

“Nice try, Jessie!” Cassidy exclaimed.  “You’re just trying to get everyone excited about getting their pokemon stolen and then screw up big time!”

 

“And make it double!” exclaimed a strange voice.

 

“That’s not James,” said Butch.

 

            DEC: “Ten points for being quick!”

 

“To bring all worlds absolute devastation!”

 

“To attack all peoples within all nations!”

 

JAMES: “Jess, nothing personal, but that new motto is worse than Butch and Cassidy’s.”

 

“To fill all worlds with hate, not love!”

 

“To take over all worlds to the stars above!”

 

            GILES: “Can’t see how that’d be useful.”

 

The smoke cleared as Cassidy and Butch— as well as the Orbidian Citians in the breeding center— saw Jessie’s dream team for the first time.  They all gasped when they saw she was working with two digimon.

 

“Jessie!”

 

“Myotismon!”

 

“Team Rocket-Mon!  Attack twerps and digi-destined at the speed of light!”

 

            GILES: “And die, while you’re at it.”

            DEC: “That’ll teach them to defy the laws of physics.”

 

“Surrender now or it’ll be your last fight!”

 

“DEMI DART!  That’s right!”  Demidevimon tried to attack the person closest to the door.

 

            JAMES: “Good shot! Take that, Butch!”

 

“The pokemon are ours, Cassidy!” Jessie exclaimed, confronting her sworn enemy.  “And so’s all the good stuff!”

 

            JESSIE: “Including the fashionable clothes, the high tech equipment and that couch.”

 

“Yeah right,” said Cassidy.  “You and what’s his face are gonna have to fight me for it!”

 

“CRIMSON LIGHTNING!”  MM shot a bolt of his lightning at Cassidy and Butch.  Butch got hit right through the chest and doubled over.  Cassidy ducked just in time.

 

“DEMI DART!”  Demidevimon hit Butch so he couldn’t get up.

 

JAMES: “As much as I hate to see Jessie working with that Myotisthing, it’s good to see Butch and Cassidy like this.”

 

“Still your pokemon can’t do a thing to stop us,” taunted Cassidy.  “I’ve seen your Arbok fight.  I’ve seen those twerps fight with their Pikachu.  If Pikachu could beat us, it can definitely beat you!”

 

            DEC: “But…Butch and Cassidy don’t have Pikachu, do they?”

 

“That’s why Pikachu and Agumon are with us,” said MM.  Pikachu and Agumon appeared from behind him and posed in an attacking pose.

 

            JESSIE: “They have so much to learn. Really, who poses like that?”

 

Cassidy started laughing out of disbelief.  “HA!  That’s just a robot, Jessie!  You’re working with freakin’ ROBOTS!”  Then she started laughing again.  “He’s a robot, they’re robots, YOU’RE A ROBOT!”

 

            GILES as Cassidy, insane: “Everyone’s a robot, I told them, but did they listen? No!”

 

“I’LL SHOW YOU!” Jessie advanced on Cassidy before Agumon and Pikachu jumped in front of her.

 

“PIIIIIIIIKKKKKKAAAAAAAA- CHYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!” 

 

            JAMES: “That’s gonna hurt badly, look at those U’s, I’s and A’s!”

 

Pikachu let out a thunderbolt at Cassidy, who got electrocuted badly.

 

“Raticate, GO!”  Cassidy threw a pokeball.

 

            DEC: “Raticate obeyed and ran out of the centre immediately.”

 

“RrrrrrATICATE!”  Raticate appeared from the pokeball.  He gnashed his teeth angrily at Agumon.

 

            GILES: “Could someone get a mouse-trap?”

 

“DARK DIGIVOLVE!” MM commanded.

 

 “Agumon, dark digivolve to… METALGREYMON!” (A/N: If you’ve seen the 02 ep when Ken as the Dgiimon Emperor captures Agumon and makes him dark digivolve, this is what he dark digivolves into. Not kidding.) 

 

            JESSIE: “Eww, that looks nasty.”

            JAMES: “At least you’re on the same side as that thing.”

 

Metalgreymon was so big it was lucky the roof was already destroyed because he would have smashed it as he crashed through.

 

            DEC: “Crash through what? The non-existing roof?”

 

“Eep?” Cassidy squeaked.

 

“PIKA…” Pikachu was ready to let out a bolt of thunder.

 

Butch threw the bag of money at Jessie’s feet because he was so afraid.  “Here, Jessie!  Take it all!  I—I—I’M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!”

 

GILES as Butch: “And I haven’t even reached my goals and dreams of becoming a world famous WWF wrestler!”

 

“Bakemon?” said MM.  Bakemon materialized in front of everyone’s eyes and started to steal all the pokemon.

 

“Surrender, Cassidy and Butch,” said Jessie.  “Surrender and nobody gets hurt.”

 

“I will NOT surrender!” Cassidy argued stubbornly.

 

            JAMES: “Phantom Menace flashbacks, anyone?”

 

“GIGA CANNON!”  Metalgreymon sent the missiles out at Cassidy and Butch (and Raticate.)  The place was blasted to pieces.

 

            JESSIE: “But only half, since Butch did surrender.”

 

“CHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!”  Pikachu let out a bolt of thunder.

 

            DEC: “Well, he’s definitely insane.”

 

“IT LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET’S BLASTING OFF!” yelled Cassidy and Butch as they were blasted off into the air.

 

            JAMES: “Ah, it’s good to see that.” (smiles happily)

 

The citizens of Orbidian City just stood there as the Bakemon stole every pokemon.  They were too scared to even breathe, much less use their pokemon to fight.  They just clutched their remaining pokeballs and valuables.

 

Finally, every good pokemon had been collected.  The crappy ones stayed, and there were not too many of those.

 

“We must take our leave,” said Myotismon.  “And we will return for more!  MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!”

 

            DEC: “Couldn’t they just type: ‘Mwahaha, etc’?”

 

“Thanks for the pokemon, SUCKERS!” Jessie yelled.  There was a puff of smoke, and every villain and stolen pokemon disappeared.

 

“That Team Rocket-Mon is really nasty,” said the person behind the desk.  “Gave Team Rocket some competition.”

 

            JESSIE: “I have to say, my villain dream team could do with a better name.”

 

“I hope they never come back here,” said a woman.  “A ghost got my poor Shnubby!  That’s my Snubbles.”

 

The mob checked in the breeding rooms and saw that only the most useless ones stayed.

 

            GILES: “So they took the breeding rooms with them?”

 

This was no good for the innocent guys. So far, the bad guys had won every time.  And it seemed as if they weren’t going to stop winning.

 

            JESSIE: “Woohoo! Go me!”

 

Jessie leaves, still in a victorious mood, while James, Dec and Giles follow her out.

 

 

Cat greeted them, her hands hiding something behind her back. “Hello Jessie, didn’t you’d come out that soon.”

 

Jessie smiled. “Well, I was battling some losers, so it was over fairly quickly.”

 

Cat nodded. “Right… Jessie, want to come with me and… talk?” She asked sweetly, hiding the large mallet from view.

 

“Sure, why not.” Jessie walked away with Cat.

 

“Don’t you think you should’ve warned your girlfriend?” Dec asked when Jessie and Cat left.

 

James shrugged. “Well, I’m sure she’ll get revenge at Cat and it’s good for Jessie to feel the other end of the mallet for once.”

 

“I don’t think I’ll ever understand animé characters.” Giles said, hearing the reply.

 

“How about we get out of here? The alarm might go off and then we’re stuck MST’ing again.” Dec suggested.

 

“Good idea.” James said. “How about we go and have a drink then?”

 

Dec grinned. “My kind of idea.”

 

And so the three left the theatre area to go and have a drink.
