They're expendable, but they're also the best team Giovanni has right now, and that is why they were sent out on this mission. Jessie adjusts her infrared goggles, as James readies Koffing.

“Ready?”

“Ready.”

The window breaks. Glass scatters all over the floor. The man reading the newspaper manages to say “What in blazes-.” Before Jessie's Ekans paralyzes him with Glare.

His pipe drops to the ground as they take apart his desk, finding several diskettes and a set of blueprints in print. How careless.

They'll be taking the info on the Safari Ball now, sucker!

Meowth yells from their balloon that there's someone heading their way, and if it's one of the G-men or Officer Jenny they don't want to meet it! So they shimmy back out, and as a little farewell present, set off the explosives their Grunts planted a week earlier.

Sayonara, Katou-san.

 

There's someone giving chase, though, and the hot air balloon isn't the fastest. Jessie readies a bazooka, while James peers through his binoculars.

“Who is it?” She snaps. She can't tell, but it's fast and definitely moving towards them. Probably someone on a flying pokemon…

“Lance.” James's voice is tight.

Jessie curses. She's heard of him - some up-and-coming trainer who loves to foil Team Rocket's plans. “I'll blow him out of the sky!”

She fires, but his pokemon swiftly dodges to one side, and returning fire isn't pretty. Hyper Beam. Damn…

 

The balloon teeters, and Meowth screeches something about bailing. Jessie shoves the information into his paws, and watches as he parachutes away. Lance doesn't seem to have realized. Good.

“Koffing! Sludge!” James yells, but it barely dents the Aerodactyl's hide.

Jessie curses under her breath.

 

Suddenly, a bright light flares. When her eyes have stopped flashing dizzy spots, she sees a familiar blonde smirking at her from a helicopter.

“Hey, damsel. Jump in.”

“Damn you, Cassidy.” Jessie grumbles, but she and James hurriedly do. This is one of the Boss's more expensive toys, and its bullet-and-pokemon proof. Good.

 

Their chopper streaks off, and eventually, their pursuer gives up.

 

Hey, at least Meowth got away with the data.

 

And got away to the boss, they discover when they reach HQ. Cool.

 

Jessie grins at James, and they clink glasses full of Cinnabar's best whisky. “We're the rising stars, partner.”

“And we'll stay there.” James agrees wholeheartedly, before leaning over and giving her a timid kiss.

“What? That's all?” She yanks him over the table and gives him a proper kiss that leaves him starry-eyed and gasping for air.

Meowth whoops, and takes another bite of his broiled fish. “That's the spirit!”

“We'll keep rising, Jessie.” James blushes. “Cause Team Rocket doesn't lose!”

And that is that.
