"T-that... what is that?" Misty was almost going crazy after realizing something was wrong.
The Pikachu behind Team Rocket, as it gradually approached, grew larger and larger. It wasn't Ash's Pikachu at all, but a Pikachu similar to the giant monster Pokémon they had encountered earlier.
"Run!!" Brock quickly gestured for Misty to flee. Misty, hearing this, had no time to say more. She had just escaped Kabutops, and now it was Pikachu. She couldn't take it anymore.
At this moment, Jessie and James also ran up, and the four fled together.
"Little brat? Big brats?" They also noticed Misty and Brock.
"What in the world are you guys up to? Seriously, nothing good ever happens when we run into you!" Misty shouted angrily at Jessie and James as she ran.
"What did you say, little brat??"
"I said nothing good ever happens when we run into you!" Hearing Jessie retort, Misty also retorted without hesitation.
"I say, this isn't the time for that, is it?" James also quickly shouted. The three heard this and all looked back. The giant Pikachu was getting closer and closer.
"Hide over there!" Brock looked ahead and quickly pointed to a large rock at the edge of the forest.
Seeing this, the four immediately jumped in and hid behind the rock by the bushes. Fortunately, that Pikachu just kept walking straight ahead and didn't notice them. They narrowly escaped, and all four breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew... We're finally safe!" James exhaled, saying with lingering fear.
"That's right!" Misty also instinctively responded. Then both sides noticed something was wrong and immediately jumped out from behind the rock.
"Team Rocket! You guys are up to no good again, aren't you?" They immediately split into two sides, Misty said angrily.
"Little brat, don't you dare accuse us falsely! If it weren't for you, how would we have ended up in this place?" Jessie immediately retorted upon hearing this.
"If you hadn't been doing bad things on the cruise ship, this wouldn't have happened." Enemies meeting with particular animosity, they immediately started arguing.
"You damn brat, do you want to fight?"
"Am I scared of you? Come on and fight!" Misty, upon hearing this, was also unconvinced. She directly pulled out a Poké Ball. Brock on the side also decisively pulled out a Poké Ball. On the other side, Jessie gritted her teeth, ready to retaliate, but James suddenly leaned over.
"Jessie, calm down. Meowth and Weezing aren't with us..."
"Uh..." Jessie's face instantly changed upon hearing this.
That's right! When they were blown here, Meowth and their Poké Balls were all lost. So Arbok and Weezing and Meowth were not here at all. There was no way to fight. Jessie immediately cowered upon hearing this.
Misty and Brock, hearing this, didn't want to take advantage of their plight. However, James was still a bit worried. He looked at Misty and Brock, noticing something was missing, and quickly changed the subject.
"Where's that brat?"
"Ash went to look for Pikachu and the others." Misty was still angry. If Ash was separated from them now, it was also because of these two guys.
"So the brat's Pokémon are also lost. In that case, we're all in the same boat now. How about we first find our Pokémon and the brat, then settle our scores later?" James breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ash wasn't around.
After all, if that brat was here, they would be even more troubled. Misty and Brock, hearing this, naturally didn't plan to take advantage. And although Jessie was annoyed, with no Pokémon in hand, they dared not act rashly.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Just then, a gust of wind swept by. The sound of propellers echoed in their ears. The four were startled, instinctively thinking that another monster-like Pokémon had appeared.
Feeling the airflow from above, they quickly looked up and saw a helicopter hovering in the air. Then a ladder was lowered from the helicopter, and a figure descended with the ladder.
Upon nearing the ground, she directly jumped down and landed on the ground, looking at the four people in front of her.
"Indeed, some bugs have intruded."
The four looked at the woman in front of them, dressed in a white gown, with red hair and heavy makeup. They didn't know who she was. Even Jessie and James didn't recognize her. Jessie was even a bit annoyed when she heard this woman call them "bugs."
But at the shoulder of this woman's clothes, within a black grid, was a red 'R' symbol. This was Team Rocket's emblem. Misty and Brock also noticed it.
"This woman is your accomplice, isn't she?" Misty looked at the woman with an unfriendly expression and then at Jessie and James.
"Hmph! We don't know this woman!" Jessie said in annoyance, crossing her arms and turning her head away.
"Hmm?? Which team are you from? What are you doing here?" The woman, seeing Jessie and James's uniforms, recognized them as Team Rocket members and asked.
Although she was asking, to Jessie and James, it sounded like a superior's interrogation and command. James was fine, but Jessie's temper immediately flared up.
"Who are you? What we're doing has nothing to do with you?" Jessie got angry. She didn't care if this person was one of their own or not; she just hated the other party's high and mighty attitude.
"Hmm??" The woman frowned upon hearing this.
One must know that lower-ranking members within Team Rocket were all respectful when they saw her. This fellow actually dared to speak to her like that.
"My name is Athena! Looking at your uniforms, your rank in the organization is too low, so it's normal that you don't recognize me. This is not where you should be. Intruding here will come with a price." The woman introduced herself. It was clear from the uniform's emblem that she was also from Team Rocket.
But she didn't recognize Jessie and James, and Jessie and James didn't recognize her.
"What did you say?? You said our rank is low? You woman, don't get too arrogant!" Jessie was furious upon hearing this, looking like she was about to charge forward and fight. James, being more perceptive, quickly hugged Jessie.
"Don't talk to yourself over there. You stole Pokémon on the St. Anne. What kind of unspeakable things are you trying to do now?"
