The Return of an Enemy

Part 2

"There is a Pokimon battle expo tomorrow in Vermilion City," Jessie explained, "There will surely be rare Pokimon there. Well disguise ourselves as two of the battle expos judges to get into the place. Then well steal them all when were in."

"OK, thatll work I guess," James responded after hearing what the plan was.

"Are we just gonna stand around here? Come on lets go!" Meowth ordered.

***

Team Rocket headed off towards the busy seaside Vermilion City to the battle expo. They finally got there the morning of.

"Come on, lets get into our costumes," Jessie commanded.

"Fine, fine," James sighed. Jessie and James went off to change into their costumes while Meowth rigged up some traps to catch the Pokimon.

"This jacket itches!" James shouted from behind a curtain.

"James, stop your whining!" Jessie yelled at him.

Jessie and James finally came out dressed up as expo judges. James had a navy blue sport jacket on with dark blue pants, while Jessie was dressed in a navy skirt and blue jacket. They both had judges badges on.

"Lets get set up. Meowth are the traps set up yet?" Jessie asked

"Just about," he responded fiddling with some wires.

"Come on James," Jessie instructed.

Jessie and James set off to the Battle Expo entrance.

"Hold it right there! Let me see your tickets" a man in one of the booths ordered.

"Sorry. We dont have any." Jessie replied.

"Too bad." The guard said.

"Too bad indeed. For you that is!" Jessie and James chuckled. James pulled out a gas canister and sprayed knock-out gas at the guards who passed out. Jessie and James dragged the guards off and tied them up. They then posed as judges and kept track off all the trainers and their Pokimon. James overheard one the trainers talking about how paid "Paid back an old acquaintance for messing everything up."

It couldnt be him! James thought, the trainer turned around and it was ... Marcus! He couldnt be saying that he burned down the mansion.

"Whatd you do?" the trainer Marcus was talking to asked

"Well... lets just saying it was a "smoking, experience," Marcus bragged.

He did! I cant believe it! James thought to himself.

"Excuse me Jessie. Theres something I have to take care of," James said as he barged off.

"James! What about the plan?!" Jessie yelled at him, "I dont know why I put up with him," she told herself shaking her head.

"All right Marcus, whyd you do it?!" James ordered

"Poor delusional James, whatever do you mean?" Marcus replied.

"Give it up Marcus! For the honor of myself and my family I challenge you to a Pokimon battle!" James told Marcus.

"Fine James, I accept. You do realize I am one of the best trainers here. You are surely going to lose," Marcus said full of himself.

The two combatants prepared for the battle, getting their Pokimon ready for the fight.

"OK I choose Wheezing!" James bellowed.

"In that case I choose Machamp!" Marcus roared.

"Wheezing!" The floating Pokimon cried.

"Machamp champ!" The four-armed Pokimon yelled.

"Machamp, Seismic Toss now!" Marcus commanded. Machamp lunged at Wheezing, grabbed him, leapt into the air, and threw Wheezing into the ground.

"Wheezing Hang on! Smog attack now!" James ordered. Wheezing emitted poisonous gas, making it hard for Machamp to see. "Wheezing Sludge attack!" Wheezing spewed toxic sludge at Machamp, knocking the fighting type Pokimon back.

"Machamp!! Dont let that weakling push you around like that! Mega Punch attack now!" Marcus commanded. Machamp got up and dashed at Wheezing and connected with a four fisted uppercut, knocking it to the ground.

"Wheezing, use your Sludge attack again." James ordered. Wheezing again spewed poison sludge at Machamp, covering it in the substance, immobilizing it. "Yeah! Wheezing Tackle attack." Wheezing charged at Machamp at knocked it to the ground, making it faint. "Ha ha! Whos the weakling now?"

"Machamp return! I was just warming up James. Next one wont be so easy," Marcus replied, "Ivysaur go!"

"Ivysaur!" the lizard-like Pokimon with the large flower on its back howled.

"Ivysaur Razorleaf attack now!" Marcus ordered. Ivysaur sent a barrage of leaves at Wheezing, knocking it out of the air.

"Wheezing!" James shouted.

"Ivysaur, finish it off with your Solarbeam attack," Marcus commanded. Ivysaur soaked in the rays from the sun and formed it into energy. Then it blasted Wheezing with an energy beam.

"Wheezing return!" James yelled. What Pokimon am I going to use next, James thought to himself. I wouldnt want to borrow Arbok or Lickitung from Jessie, and my Victrebell will just try to eat my head again. I cant forfeit, itll show that Im weaker than he is. James suddenly heard the sound of barking. He looked down to see Growlie at his feet. "Growlie! Will you battle for me boy? It means a lot to me," James begged the Growlithe.

"Grow!" Growlie barked strongly.

"Thank you so much Growlie!" James told Growlie. "OK Marcus, I choose Growlithe!"

"Grooowww!" Growlie howled.

"Ivysaur Vine Whip now!" Marcus ordered. Ivysaur sent out vines from its flower and whipped them at Growlie, who was able to dodge them.

"Yeah!! Growlie Agility now!" James commanded. Growlie zipped around Ivysaur at high speeds. "Now use Bite!" Growlie stopped and sunk its teeth into Ivysaur.

"Saur!!" Ivysaur shrieked. Ivysaur whipped Growlie off with its vines.

"Ivysaur hang on! We have to beat this loser!! Razorleaf attack now!" Marcus commanded. Ivysaur sent a barrage of leaves at Growlie. Growlie did its best to dodge the incoming leaves, but still got hit them.

"Growlie come on! Flame-thrower attack now!!" James ordered. Growlie opened its mouth and sent a blast of fire from it at Ivysaur, injuring it greatly. "End it with Take Down now!" Growlie charged at Ivysaur completely knocking it unconscious when it connected. "Ha Marcus! I won!" James boasted.

"Grr!!" Marcus growled under his breath Marcus then charged at James knocking him down.

"Ow, Hey!" James screamed. The two exchanged fists in anger at each other. James lunged at Marcus, knocking him over and connected with a punch to the face.

"OK break it up!" Police Officer Jenny yelled and separated the two.

"Who started this?" shed asked. The crowd explained what happened, and Jenny took Marcus off to the station for some explaining.

"You havent heard the last of me James!! Ill be back!" Marcus shouted.

"Sure Marcus, sure..." James replied softly.

James proved himself there to everyone, that he is not a coward and a chicken. He found out that his parents were alive, and Marcus was forced to do community service. Unfortunately, Team Rockets plan was exposed and they didnt capture any Pokimon. Jessie and James were then kicked out of the Expo. Oh well, there is always next time...
