Pokemon Fan Fiction / Pokemon Fan Fiction ❯ Is This What I've Become? ❯ Prologue ( Prologue )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]
Giovanni looked out the window of his huge mansion at the sceen below. Several Team Rocket agents were in the middle of a VERY heated argument, which had been started by a feud between Butch and Cassidy. Naturally, the female agents had sided with Cassidy and the male with Butch.

"Don't tell me they're at it again."a familiar, more feminie and harsh version of Ash's voice came from a white haired figure standing in the shadows.

"Sadly, yes."Giovanni didn't even turn to the voice,"Can I get you to break them up?"

"I've broken up their fights too many times as is. Get someone else to do it for you."

"Are you defying my orders?"

"No, I'm saying that I want to marry you. Of course I'm defying your orders, they'll just do it again. Dumb and Dumber need to settle this on their own. Besides, there is something on your mind."

"You are wise beyond your years, child, but, yes, you are right. It has come to my attention that there is a boy threatening Team Rocket."

"You mean the boy that keeps kicking Jesse and James's butts?"

"He's become very strong, from what I've heard. His main pokemon, a pikachu, is unaturally strong, and can even take down high level rock and ground type pokemon."Giovanni watched the fight below,"He's defeated Butch and Cassidy several times, and I know Domino will do just as well. I want YOU to take him out."

"Me? You want me to make sure he can't wipe out Team Rocket. What's got you so worried?"

"This boy has encountered Entei, Suicuine, Lugia, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and possibly Celebi, Raikou, and Ho-Oh. He has also befriended Mew and Mewtwo."

"He's got a better resume than me."

"You saw Ho-Oh face to face, that whipes out EVERTHING he did easily, plus, Mewtwo trusted you. Perhaps, if I had not sent you on that mission to find Celebi, I might still have Mewtwo."

"Or, perhaps if you had treated him as an EQUAL instead of a tool he wouldn't have tried to kill you."

"I made a mistake, Mewtwo was different from other pokemon. He was almost human in some ways."

"All pokemon are like that, if you would just listen."

"Pokemon are nothing more than weapons used for fighting."

"You're wrong. Pokemon are living, breathing creatures with souls and hearts just like ours."

"This is what I get for letting you live among those soft hearted humans. Never the less, you will take out this boy. Do whatever it takes to get rid of him." 'She hasn't raised her voice to me once, and I'm still insulting everything she believes in. She truely has been raised well.'

"I understand. When do I leave?"

"Next week, by that time he should be prepairing to fight Claire, you will challenge her aswell. I will let you take six of my pokemon to ensure her defeat. She will then send you to the Dragon Caves to be judged, you will surely be found worthy and be allowed to take on the Elite Four. You are to gain this boy and his friends' trust and travel with them back to his hometown. Once you have their complete trust you are to steal every pokemon in the city, and make sure you capture that pikachu."

"Anything else?"

"Yes, don't get caught. Jesse and James will give you what little help their pathetic minds can come up with,"

"They're not THAT stupid."

"ahem, and I expect a full report EVERY day, no exceptions. Who knows how long this will take, I want every detail. If you do well you may even be able to keep some of the pokemon you obtain, including the pikachu. Do you understand?"

"Clear as crystal. I'l prepair to leave immediately."

"What pokemon will you take?"

"Arcanine, houndoom, pidgeot, and Ishizu."

"One, that's only five pokemon, and two, you're taking an EEVEE up against CLAIRE?! Have you lost your mind?!"

"Ishizu may be an eevee, but she's still my life long partner and my best friend. I've been training with her since before I could walk. And I'm only bringing five pokemon because those are the only pokemon I trust. I only need those five to beat Claire, it's that simple."

"You're more cocky than I was on my pokemon journey."

"No, you were much worse, I just know when to back down. Unlike you who took FOUR days to get to Viridian City because you refused to ask for directions."

"Did anyone tell you that you have a VERY big mouth?"

"And proud of it, now, if there's nothing else, I'm going to inform my pokemon that we're going on a mission. Oh, and by the way, Ishizu has been sitting on my head this whole time."

Giovanni smacked his forehead,"Sorry?"

His word was returned by an agitated eevee snort as the shady form vanished into the darkness.

"That girl is going to be the death of me."Giovanni muttered,"Atleast I know she will make a good heir, unless she keeps hanging around those bumbling fools that call themselves Team Rocket agents."

"Oh, by the way,"the voice came from the shadows again,"does my new assignment have a name?"

"Ashura."

~*~*~*~*~*~

Jesse looked up as a small pidgey flew into the clearing she, James, and Meowth were camped out in. She held up her arm and the small bird landed on it, dropping an evenvalope into her hand.

"Who's it from?"James asked, looking over her shoulder.

"It's from Amane."Jesse tore open the letter,"Hey guys, long time no see. The Boss has been a pain in the neck with my training, but I've got some good news. I'll be joining you very soon. Giovanni has decided that your 'friend' Ash is getting to be too dangerous. I've been assigned to steal his pokemon since the two of you can't even keep a hold of his pikachu. I'm going to disguise myself as a friend and follow them back to his hometown than steel ever pokemon in town. Anyway, I'll meet you guys outside the pokemon center in one week. I've gotta go, Butch and Cassidy just made up from another fight and I already know I'm not gonna get any sleep tonight. Why the hell did my room have to be next to their's? Ugh, disgusting sounds, I've gotta go barf. See ya in a few days, Amane." Jesse developed a strange look,"I don't know what's more sickening, the fact that Amane has to hang out with the twerps or Butch and Cassidy's way of making up after a fight."

"I'll have ta agree wit ya dere."Meowth looked at the note.

"Think she'll bring Isis?"James asked.

"Is Amane's hair white? Of course Isis is coming."Jesse scoffed,"She's not leaving that little fuzz ball anywhere near Butch and Cassidy when she's not around."

"Good point, but, what does her hair have to do with anything?"

"Idiot."
