Chapter 42: Who is the Assassin?

The Pokemon Center was at its usual every dusk. Pokemon Trainers went in and out, and some were staying in the hostels. In the lobby, Misty & Brock were sitting down, and Jake was walking around the Pokemon Center, hoping to hear some news regarding Ash's Charizard.
"WHERE'S MY CHARIZARD! WHERE'S MY CHARIZARD!" squeeled Ash as if he were a little child.
"Don't worry, your Charizard is going to be fine." said the friendly Nurse Joy with a smile.
"What? It was that simple?" asked Jake. "Charizard's tail fire was completely put out!"
"Yes, but we could fix that." Nurse Joy said. "We have pyrocologists!" she pointed out.
"Huh." said Jake, realizing he worried about the fate of Charizard over something so easily fixable. "Well Ash, consider yourself lucky. I know that someday, Charizard will obey you again.
"I know it will to." Ash responded.
All of a sudden, the lights went out.
"Oh no!" said Brock. "I think I know what this means.
"Hahahahahaha!" said a familiar laugh.



Prepare for trouble!
And make it double!


Two adults in matching white t-shirts with the Letter R on it, accompanied by a Meowth appeared.

To Protect the World from Devastation.
To Unite all peoples within our nation.
To denounce the evils of truth and love.
To extend our reach to the stars above.
Jessie.
James.
Team Rocket, blasts off at the speed of light!
Surrender now, or prepare to fight!


"Meeeeowth!" thats right! said the hissy-voiced Meowth
"Team Rocket!" Brock and Misty said in unison.
"What do you want now?" asked Ash.
"Look, nows not a good time!" Jake said.
"Tsk Tsk." said Jessie. "Now's the perfect time to capture your Pikachu."
"You see, the boss is really down about something right now." said James.
"And if we capture Pikachu now, he'll give us a big promotion!" said Meowth.
"I don't think so!" said Jake.
"Alright then, we'll have to fight!" said Jessie. "Goooo Arbok!"
"And go Weezing!" said Jakes.
"Chaaaa-bok!" said Arbok.
"Weezing Wee!" said Weezing.
"Okay then." Jake said, grabbing a Poke Ball. "Let's go, Scyther!"
"Scyther!" said Scyther, released from its Poke Ball.
"Now Scyther, Slash!" Jake commanded, and Scyther was not at his side. Instead, Scyther had flown over to Jessie, and was embracing her.
"Aaaah! Ewwww, get this thing off of me!" screamed Jessie, disgusted at the bug rubbing against her.
"Hey, wait a minute Jess." said James. "This Scyther looks familiar. Isn't this the same Scyther Team Rocket raised at the Casino?" James asked. "Scyther, attack with Slash!" James commanded to Scyther.
With an angry look in its eyes, Scyther launched toward Jake, seeming intent on harming its own master, when all of a sudden, it changed its mind and Slashed at Arbok & Weezing.
"Wait, on no!" said James.
"Time to finish you!" said Jake. "Go Pikablu!"
"Pika!" said Pikablu.
"Ice Beam, Pikablu!"
"Pikaaaaaaa-BLU!" said Pikablu, blasting its cold beam at Team Rocket, freezing them and blasting them off out of the Viridian Pokemon Center.
"Can we ever have a break?" asked James.
"Where did that kid get that Scyther?" asked Jessie.
"Why do I get the feeling big changes are coming for us?" Meowth randomly pointed out.
"Whatever, we're blasting off again!" the three said in unison. *Ding*

Things were once again getting quiet at the Pokemon Center, the power was back on and Ash, Misty, Brock & Jake were cleaning up the mess. As sudden as it was before, the lights went out again.
"Oh no, what now?!" said an angry Jake.
A sound of breaking glass filled the dark room, and a large silhoutte of a Weezing entered the room, exhuming heavy Smog from its Poison Bags.
"Oh no, not Team Rocket again!" said Ash, coughing at the Smog.
"Hahahahahaha." said a very ominous laughter, and another silhoutted figure appeared in the smog. He appeared to be wearing an overcoat. "So, you're Ash?" said the man.
"Who are you? What do you want?" asked Jake.
"I have been paid big money to kill you Ash." said the mystery assailant in a wicked, devious voice, as if he was going to win.
"I don't think so!" said Jake, who launched at the mystery figure.
"Muk, use Acid Armor!" said the person.
"Muuuuk!" said his Muk, melting into the floor and causing Ash, Misty, Brock and Jake to be trapped in their place.
"Oh no!" said Misty.
"This doesn't look good!" said Brock.
"Don't worry everyone, I'll think of something!" said Jake.
"Go Arbok, use Assassin's Needle!" said the mystery person, apparently identifying himself as an Assassin.
"Chaaaaaaa-bok!" said an Arbok, which was clearly more confident and experienced than Jessie's Arbok.
"Aaaaahhhh!" screamed Ash in the smog, his friends not seeing what is happening.
"My work here is done." said the Assassin, and the presence disappeared.
"We gotta get rid of the smog!" said Brock. Ash did not respond by releasing Pidgeotto like he should.
"Let's go, Porygon!" said Jake.
"Porygon!" said Porygon.
"Porygon, clear away the smog!" commmanded Jake.
"Pory!" Porygon said, shooting out a USB cord into a computer, and transformed into a vaccuum and sucked the smog away.
"Smog, deleted." said a feminine voice coming from Porygon.

The Smog had been cleared, but there was nothing good. Still standing was Misty, Brock and Jake. Ash was unconscious on the ground, his skin had turned very pale and he had a snake bite on his neck, venom dripped from it.
"Oh no, Ash!" said Misty.
"This, this cannot be!" said Jake.
It was a sight the three trainers were hoping to not ever witness, but it had indeed become a reality.
Ash Ketchum, the man who was destined to become the World's Greatest Pokemon Master, was dead.
