Eric was very happy with wis win. Afterwards, he called Prof. Garrison to tell him the good news. He picked up the reciever and dialed Prof. Garrison's lab. "Hello, oh Eric! You made it to Pewter City already? It takes most people 3 days to get there!" Garrison said. "Well, I some...special help," Eric said. "Well, I'm ecstatic. You're so far ahead of all the other trainers..." Garrison said. "And you have...how many Pokémon?" Garrison asked. Eric said,"I have 5 Pokémon, Prof. Garrison, what is does that machine ball that you gave me do?" Eric asked, "It's purpose is to catch caertain kinds of Pokémon called, High Density Pokémon," Prof. Garrison said, "High density Pokémon are Pokémon with high atomic density, meaning that their atoms are closer together than most Pokémon. You see, Pokémon can be caught in a Pokéball because their atoms are spaced farther apart than other matter. A Pokéball pushes those atoms closer together causing the Pokémon to shrink. High Density Pokémon are Pokémon whose atoms are closer together. The machine ball has to work harder to shrink the Pokémon because there is less space between the atoms. The machin ball actually presses the elecrtons in an atom closer together to make the Pokémon fit in the machine ball. Oh, by the way, have you seen my grandson, Larry there?" Garrison said. "Yes, I had a battle with him," Eric said."You did?! Did you win?"Garrison asked. "Yes, I won" Eric answered. "Oh, that's fantastic! Oh, what was I going to say...oh yes! I need you to stay away from him!" Garrison said. "Why?" Eric asked.
"Because he stole my prized collection of Pokémon and joined Team Rocket! Surely you've noticed that an idiot like him couldn't catch an Exeggcutioner!" Garrison said, with a worried tone in his voice. "Well, I never really thought of that," Eric said. "Normally I would tell you to stay away from him, but I need you to get my Pokémon back!" Garrison pleaded. "Okay, I'll try, but I can't promise I'll be able to beat Larry again. Mewfive is still tired from his Metronome attack and..." Eric tried to say. "WHAT!? A Mewfive?! Metronome?! How in the heck did you manage that?!" Garrison yelled so loud that he lost his voice. "Well, y'see..."."Oh, do please tell!" Garrison said in a childish tone. "Okay, I disobeyed your orders and went to Viridian City..."Eric said, knowing that he was in soooooo much trouble.
"YOU WHAT?!" Garrison yelled. "I know you're mad, but listen. I met Team Rocket and defeated them...". "YOU WHAT?!" Garrison yelled. "They forgot to take thier motor cycle with them and I took it. I ran out of gas and looked inside the motor cycle compartments and found a Mewthree, a Mewfour, and a Mewfive. The Mewfour, somehow managed to speed the motor cycle..." Eric said."That's... not good. I don't want you to go off on dangerous adventures like that! Why, when you were young, you were an especially bright boy. But we always had to discipline you for your skylarkings every now and then," Garrison lectured. "What's skylarkings?" Eric asked. Garrison said,"You know, like Tomfoolerys," "Who?" Eric answered. "Nevermind, the point is, is that your a mature young man now. I need you to at least listen to me sometimes...I'm sorry if I have to lay these rules out for you, but I don't want you getting killed or anything." Garrison said. "I understand,"
"Okay then, go find my Grandson. I need those Pokémon!"Garrison said. "Don't worry, I'll get them back!" Eric said. Eric hung up the phone and started on his mission to find Larry. As he was pushing through thick crowds, he saw a shirt with a big red "R" on it. Team Rocket... Eric thought to himself. As he approached it, he saw the face of...the insane guy. He grabbed him by the shirt and said,"Where are the other members?"."Members of what?" he said in a dopey voice."Members of Team Rocket, you moron!" Eric said, trying to sound tough to break the insane guy's spirit. "Oh, I don't know, you see I was kicked out of Team Rocket today," the insane guy said. "Do you know where they are?" Eric asked. "I have no idea." the insane guy replied.
"Dang!" Eric said. "Uh, sir, you have three things of mine that I hope you wouldn't mind giving back." the insane guy said. Eric paused. He knew that he had stolen three of their Pokémon. "But, I found them..." Eric said. "But they are mine!" the insane guy said and started sobbing. "I'll pay you handsomly for them..." the insane guy said. "These are worth more than money!" Eric said (he realized at this time that he was starting to sound cruel). "I'll give you these..." the insane guy said as he pulled out several small books. Each was top secret documentation on Team Rocket. Eric said nothing. Many of the world's greatest spies died trying to recieve these files. But was it worth trading for the Pokémon? If he sold these to the FBI, he would be the richest person of his age... But is it more important than three powerful Pokémon. "It's a deal!" Eric said. He handed him the three Pokéballs as the insane guy gave him the books. Eric felt a little bad about the trade, but he did steal the Pokémon. Besides, this guy wasn't bad anyway.
They chatted a little after the trade. The insane guy (who Eric learned his name was Judohan) told him that he was to be Team Rocket's new president (because he was a decendant of Giovanni) but he was dethroned for accidentally destroying Rocket H.Q. Suddenly, the building rumbled. A voice could be heard coming out of the speaker phone. "We've taken this building hostage! Don't panic, please. The elevators have been turned off, and the front doors locked. You will be given further instruction afterwards," it was Jones of Team Rocket. Quickly, as if an instinct, Eric ran to the front desk and asked,"Where could that announcement be coming from?"."Hold on let me check," she said as she picked up a walkie talkie. "Security, are you at your post?" she said. "No...we.....kay....that jam.....must... .......coming...the roof but we......there." the voice on the walkie talkie said. "Security, you're breaking up," the woman said. "All......to the roof.......blocked." he said. "He says that the jamming is coming from the roof, and all access to the roof has been blocked."the woman said. Eric ran up the flight of stairs. He then realized he could never make it up the stairs. Eventually the altitude would drain his strength. He went back into the entrance room.
He saw a door marked "Garage". He ran in and saw a vast room filled with vehicles. He saw a police officer. "Miss, I need to borrow a motor cycle!" Eric asked. "Why would I do that?! Oh, if you're thinking of smashing through the windows, think again. We're surrounded by a psychic field that won't let anyone get in or get out," she said. "I need a motor cycle to get to the top floor." Eric said. "Go ahead, but don't expect to be able to do anything," she said. Eric was pretty surprised how easily he convinced her to lend him a motor cycle. I've heard that psychic power fields can disrupt people's thinking. That's probably how I got the bike so easy he thought to himself.
He drove the bike into the entrance room and went up the stairs. The stairs were empty. He drove the machine up and up and up. He looked up and saw an endless staircase above. After about ten minutes of driving, He could see the roof above him. He was close to the roof now. Soon, he saw a hole in the steps. He turned off the motor cycle and walked up ahead. Team Rocket blew a piece out of the staircase. He didn't want to risk jumping because it was a looooooong way down. "Dang! How will I get across..." Eric said. He looked around. He saw a ventilation duct. He jumped inside and crawled into it. The duct led upwards. When he had crawled far enough, he got out. He had crossed the hole. He continued walking upwards. When he got to the top, he was very tired. He kicked open the door and saw Team Rocket, Jones, Julius, and the new recruit, Larry. They were standing in front of to the Rocket Plane, a humunguos jet that Team Rocket members used.
"WHAT THE HECK?! How did you get past our barracade?!" Julius shouted. "The ventilation duct," Eric said, feeling proud of himself. "The ventilation duct? Oh that's right, I forgot about that," Jones said, feeling terrible. "Excuse me, but aren't we supposed so say the Team Rocket slogan now?" Larry reminded them. "Awwww....do we have to?" Julius said.
"To further the world towards devastation!" Jones said "To destroy all people within our nation!",Julius said. "To kill the evils of truth and love!"Larry said. "To extend our reach to the stars above"they said together(as they said this, they pointed at themselves). "Jones!" the tallest one said "Julius!" the middle tallest said "Larry!!!" the shortest one said. They began to shout together,"We are Team Rocket! Do not cry! 'Cause if you do you will die!".
Fireworks appeared in the sky as they finished.
"Now, leave! You can't hope to beat us! We have better Pokémon than you do!" Jones said. It was true, Eric only had Samantha and Psycho. God, it's Eric! I need your help! Eric thought to himself. As if it was an answer, Judohan appeared behind him. "Taa daa! I made it!" Judohan said. The three Team Rocket members were shocked. "How did he get through the vents?" Julius said. "Yeah, he's fatter than a Snorlax!" Jones said. Team Rocket laughed at the joke. "I had some help from a Fearow!" Judohan said. "Oh, I hadn't thought of that either..." Jones said.
"Well, for once you did something smart, Judohan!" Jones said. "Yeah, it's a miracle!" Larry said. "Hey! Leave me alone!" Judohan said. "Why should we? You were the one who microwaved a Pokéball, causing an explosion that destroyed our Headquarters!" Julius said. "Hey! He was cold and I couldn't think of any other way to warm him up," Judohan said. "Talk is cheap, let's fight!" Larry said.
