Ash looked at the map that Officer Jenny handed him and shook his
head. "Rainbow Island? Not exactly the first place I would go."
Brock nodded his agreement. "True. But, we might find some more
answers there regarding Human Pok�mon."
Ash sighed. "We are going to need some way to get there. I guess I
could send Bulbasaur back and get Lapras out."
"That might be the best option."
Ash tapped on a few buttons in his Pok�dex and the Pok�balls containing
Bulbasaur and Lapras were switched. Before releasing Lapras, he called
Misty out.
"Ash? What's going on?" Misty asked, once again in her pre-genie
clothes.
"I'll explain on the way," Ash replied, as he released Lapras. "It
just doesn't feel right just having Brock, Pikachu, and myself
travelling."
"Right," Misty said with a slight smile.
Ash and company boarded Lapras and they started their journey towards
Rainbow Island. Along the way, Ash told Misty of the meeting with
Sabrina's parents and the subsequent meetings with Jenny and Joy and the
Center.
"So, this isn't the first time it's happened," Misty said. "Jenny and
Joy used to be Pok�mon? Should have guessed."
"Well it's not like I need anymore Human Pok�mon."
"I think we'd better stop talking about that," Misty said. "Brock's
drooling."
-------------------------------------------------------
Giovanni looked pleased, as he handled the Pok�ball containing
Hitmonjen. Looking up, he addressed Team rocket's head Pok�mon nurse.
"Good work, Misery. We have the means to capture the other three Human
Pok�mon now."
"Not quite. Hitmonjen is a Fighting type. She'd be good against
Pokebot, a pure Steel. But, the other two are threats. A Fire/Ghost
and a Steel/Psychic."
"I see."
"However," Misery said, holding up a hand, "We could figure out which
humans can be turned into Pok�mon. The kid, Ash, might help us in this
regard."
"Go on."
"Three people that he has encountered have been turned into Pok�mon.
He might stumble across others that might be right on the edge. We
could have someone follow him"
"I have the two imbeciles Jesse and James constantly chasing him."
"Leave them," Misery stated. "They will provide distraction, while
another agent goes after the real prizes."
"Agent double O nine. I'll pull her off the Mewtwo hunt and assign her
that job. She's good enough to get the job done."
"I thought you'd still be after Mewtwo."
"If things work out right, Mewtwo will be superfluous."
"By the way. Here's a report on how the trade machine and items will
probably work out," Misery said and handed the leader of Team Rocket a
paper.
Giovanni looked at the paper and smiled. This is what he saw:

Looking up from the paper, he asked, "What about Psybot?"
Misery shrugged, "Sabrina was a powerful psychic before being altered.
That's why I chose that paticular Officer Jenny. She's a black belt in
at least three martial arts, so is a bit closer to her heritage of being
a Hitmonjen."
"So practicing Martial Arts or having high Psychic abilities will also
help."
"A bit."
"I'll get word to Double O nine and assign Butch and Cassidy to the
Mewtwo hunt," Giovanni said.
"And Hitmonjen?"
Twirling the ball in his fingers, Giovannis said, "Run some tests. I
want to know how powerful she can become."
"I see," Misery said with a smirk. "Since Hitmonjen is the female
version of the Hitmon series, we might want to start using her to breed
more Hitmonjen."
"I'll think about that. We could just capture another Jenny and
convert her. What about your own family? Is there a paticular Nurse
Joy that might be converted?"
"I'd like to change them all and stuff them in Pok�balls," Misery
stated. "But, none of them stand out at the moment. Maybe the one in
the Orange Islands that uses a canoe to get from island to island."
"I'll send someone to capture her," Giovanni said.
Misery grinned wickedly.
--------------------------
Riding on Lapras, Misty asked, "So Ash, which gym are you going to
tackle first?"
"I have no idea. I guess that will be decided at which town we land
in."
"Have you decided which one of us you will use first?"
"Sabrina and Whitney need more experience," Ash said. "I'll go with
Whitney."
Looking at the map, Brock said, "It looks like we'll land in Metallium
Bay."
"Weird name," Ash said, as he peered at the horizion. "At least it's a
starting place."
"Ash, there's something I'd like to do," Misty said.
"What?"
"I'd like to bring Sabrina and Whitney into my ball for a while."
"I don't see how that can be done," Ash replied.
"I've set up a Center in my ball. I can give you the information and
you can teleport the two of them in their as storage."
"That feels like cheating," Ash replied. "That way I could have more
than six Pok�mon with me."
Misty's shoulders slumped somewhat.
Brock commented, "It would proably be easier if you had some way to
keep them registered as six and have a way for them to visit Misty."
"I feel confused," Ash said, rubbing his head.
"Normal for you," Misty quipped.
"Misty!" Ash protested, while Misty giggled.
"Anyway, Ash," Misty went on in a normal tone of voice, "I'd like to
head back into my ball. I want to check up on Togepi."
"Misty, Return."
In a flash of red light, Misty was pulled back into her ball.
"How much longer before we reach Metallium Bay, Brock?"
"A couple hours," Brock replied.
"Enough time to get a nap in. Right, Pikachu?"
"Pika."
Ash pulled his hat over his eyes and was soon asleep.
Brock muttered, "I don't see why Ash doesn't let me date Sabrina or
Whitney."
"Pikachu-ka-pika," Pikachu said
<Because you're nuts>
