Chapter 8
"Hey, Gohan," Ash said with a hint of embarassment in his voice.
"What?" Gohan responded curiously as they walked along the path to Viridian City. Ever since Brock, Ash and Misty discovered Gohan's tail, he let it wag behind himself as they walked. He spent a good part of an hour convincing them it wasn't a big deal. He made them believe it was just something he inherited from his father's side of the family.
Ash gave Gohan a nervous look. "Could I like, touch it or something?" Ash asked as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
Gohan gave Ash an uncomfortable look. "I don't think it would be a good idea." He responded as nicely as possible. Gohan was getting a little tired of Ash's bizarre curiosity at that point.
Ash slumped a little as he walked. "Aww man..." he muttered as they continued.
"So, what is it like having a tail?" Brock asked out of curiosity.
Gohan thought about it. "It's not all that different, really." He replied. "It helps my balance, and helps me keep a little warm on cold nights." Gohan wisely decided not to mention the Oozaru thing. "I could also hang from a tree with it if I wanted to, but overall, it isn't any big deal."
Brock nodded in acknowledegment. He appeared to have had the least problem accepting the idea of Gohan having a tail.
After 10 minutes of walking, they saw the outer limits of Viridian city. Gohan again wrapped his tail around himself like a belt. It had taken them longer than it normally would, but that's because of all the interuptions they've had on the way there, as well as their easy pace.
Misty turned to Ash. "I think we should stay at the pokemon center tonight. I don't feel like camping, and I wouldn't want to waste the power of those capsule houses."
Ash nodded. "Sounds good to me. What do you think?" he asked Gohan and Kuririn.
"I hope you guys have enough money, because mine isn't good here." Kuririn interjected sadly.
"Don't worry," Gohan assured him. "It's free"
"Oh!" Kuririn answered happily. "I wish it was like that back at home!"
The other four laughed at Kuririn's enthusiastic response. They walked on n high spirits up to the pokemon center near the buisness district. As they walked on, they passed several advertisements displaying pokemon in one form or another.
Kuririn looked at the advertisements with interest. "Those pokemon things appear to be everywhere," Kuririn commented.
Misty nodded. "Almost every kid wants to be a pokemon trainer when they grow up. In response to that fact, there are lots of industries developed to take advantage of it."
"Well, that's one thing that never changes, no matter where you live." Kuririn said with a sigh. "The industries trying to make a quick dollar."
When they walked into the pokemon center, Brock went into his usual routine and tried asking Nurse Joy on a date. And, as usual, she turned him down with little delay, saying she was 'married to her work'. Brock returned to the group with his face hanging low.
When Kuririn saw Nurse Joy, he hung his head down and blushed furiously, but never said a word. Gohan, Ash and Misty never reacted to her, as usual. Ash, Misty and Brock gave their pokeballs to Joy for rest, and Gohan walked over to the visitor area. Kuririn walked over to Gohan nervously and sat down next to him.
When Ash, Brock and Misty walked over to Gohan and Kuririn, Ash decided to ask, "What's with him?" as he pointed to Kuririn.
Gohan frowned. "He broke up with his girlfriend recently. He's not completely over it."
"I'm sorry about that," Misty offered her sympathy.
Kuririn shrugged. "It's not like it was really going anywhere. I'm usually uneasy around women near my age anyways. I was a monk, after all."
Brock sighed sadly. "At least you've had a girlfriend."
Kuririn looked at Brock seriously. "You're still young. You've got lots of time." He hung his head down again. "I, on the other hand, am 35 years old. I don't exactly have a heck of a lot of time if I am planning on having children."
Ash, Brock and Misty were rather surprised to hear just how old Kuririn was. They sat there thinking, when Nurse Joy announced to them the pokemon were rested up, and Ash, Mist and Brock retrieved their pokeballs. They then had dinner and decided on going to bed early.
*********
Gohan woke up to the noise of a rather small explosion. He got up to look around, and as soon as he pulled his blanket off, he was attacked by several men wearing black uniforms with a red R on the front. Gohan was going to struggle, but several men pointed guns ans Ash, Kuririn, Misty and Brock.
The other four were woke up, and were forced to stay on the ground. A woman walked up to Gohan. The woman Gohan recognized as Jesse from her assualt on Professor Oak's laboratory.
She pointed to Ash and the others and told Gohan, "If you're good, they won't be hurt." She then walked over to Ash with a devilish smirk. "You should be glad, brat. We're not after your pikachu this time. But if you are bad, I will reconsider."
Ash was barely able to contain his anger. He was about to snap back when one of the soldiers hit him over the head with the butt of his rifle. Misty and Brock were about to help him, when several more guards pointed their rifles at the group. Another gunman picked up Pikachu, whom was already in a sealed plastic container.
Jesse walked over to Gohan. She put her hands on her hips and wore a look of triumph. "My boss seems very interested in you." she said in a voice full of self confidence. "He has a propsition to offer you."
Gohan was about to snarl his reply, when one of the guards noticed his belt. He grabbed it, trying to look for pokeballs to confiscate. As soon as the guard grabbed it, Gohan fell to the floor, paralyzed. The gunmen guarding Kuririn and the others turned to see what was going on.
Kuririn saw this as his opening and quickly jumped up and ran at the man holding Pikachu. Before the man could react, Kuririn had already freed Pikachu, and threw the man into the wall.
The guards pointed their guns at Kuririn just in time to be electrified by Pikachu. They were sent through the roof from the force of the discharge.
Brock released Vulpix, which breathed flames at the men holding Gohan in place and the one that had been holding Pikachu. They ran out of the building to put their clothing out.
Jesse turned around and heard the loud cry of "CHUUUU!!" before she was sent through the roof, following in suit of the people that fell victum to Pikachu's previous attack.
"Looks like Team Rocket is blasting off again!" she cried as she flew through the air.

(minutes earlier)
James and Meowth sat waiting to see the outcome of their latest mission from their trademark balloon. The people moved in position a half-hour ago, and proceeded on the mission roughly ten minutes earlier.
James sighed out of boredom. "How do you suppose they are doing?" he asked Meowth.
Meowth was still sore from the fight against Gohan. "I don't know." Meowth answered. "From how that kid hit me before, I think they're going to need quite a few more men to do the job."
James nodded as he rested his head on his hands on the side.. "I still don't understand why Jesse was allowed the chance to lead them." he complained.
Meowth shrugged. "I think the boss believes there is no way for her to screw it up." Meowth suggested. He then sighed. "I think the boss should have taken y suggestion and used all of the resources at his disposal, but he wasn't able to spend that much money."
Moments after they were done talking, about a dozen of Team Rocket's soldiers were blown through the roof of the pokemon center, followed shortly by Jesse, whom was shouting the usual parting phrase. After they were done watching the rest of the soldiers run out of the building with their uniforms on fire, Meowth and James let out a defeated groan.
"Why can't anything bad go right for once?" whined James to no one in particular as they flew their balloon in the direction that Jesse landed.
***********
Gohan must have been asked if he was alright about a dozen times. Team Rocket's attempted kidnapping was a failure, but the others will still worried.
Vulpix and Pikachu watched the door in case Team Rocket attempted another assualt.
"What were they after?" Misty asked, worried.
Kuririn sighed. "Gohan has a knack for attracting people who want to use him to conquer the world or something. Gohan has had some martial arts training, so he isn't helpless by any stretch of the imagination."
Brock looked at Gohan questioningly. "If you were that good at fighting, why didn't you fight back?"
Gohan gave him a stern look. "They would've shot you! Neither Kuririn nor I were in any real danger, but they could have killed you three."
Just then, a tired Nurse Joy walked into the main area and noticed the hole in the celing, and the wall with cracks in it that resulted from Kuririn's attack.
Gohan quickly started apologizing. "I'm sorry! I'll help pay for the damages!"
Nurse Joy cut him off. "Don't worry. Because of how dangerous Pokemon can be, these things are to be expectd every once in a while. It will be repaired in the morning." she said as started dialing on the phone for the repair services.
Gohan and Kuririn let out a sigh of relief. They had no idea how they would have been able to pay for the required repairs, or the materials. That was indeed good news.
Brock walked over to the door and peered out. "I don't think they'll try that again anytime soon." he announced. He yawned as he then called Vulpix back to its pokeball and walked back to the group. "I think it should be safe for us to go back to sleep."
Pikachu trotted over to Ash and went to sleep next to him, as usual. Soon after, the whole group was asleep, resting after the tiresome encounter with Team Rocket.

Goku walked into the kitchen after finishing up a training exercise with Piccolo that took longer than expected. He was going to get something to eat, then go to bed.
Chichi and Bulma were sitting at the table as Goku walked in. Bulma was still doing work of course, as she talked to Chichi. Goku was going to walk right by Bulma when she stopped him.
"Hey Goku, I have something I want to ask you." She told him as she was holding on to one of her sheets. "There was someone stealing from the dimensional portal technology, and I was wondering if you recognized his name."
Goku gave Bulma a look of helplessness. "Bulma, you know more scientists than I know. What makes you think I know?"
Bulma looked at a sheet of paper again. "The name sounds familiar to me, but I can't remember why I know him. His name is Dr. Gero."
At the mention of the name, Goku froze, then his face turned serious. "That's the scientist worked for the Red Ribben Army. He is also the one that's responsible for the androids that are supposed to kill everyone. What do youy think he could be up to?"
Bulma shook her head. "I dont know, but we should tell Gohan and Kuririn to keep their guards up."
