>>53666991Even with the restricted team, Erika was no pushover - Boss, Honey and Meowth took down a Pokemon each. But in the heat of the battle, Fin told Rocket to put him in.
>"Uh...Fin, I appreciate the enthusiasm, but you don't know how to fight and these grassholes got your number. Should probably let Honey finish 'em off.">>"Karp karp, I think I finally get it now."Before Rocket could object, Fin flopped into the battle and nailed Erika's Hoppip right between the eyes with a Tackle, knocking it out."
>Erika: _ "What just happened">"YEEEEEEAHHHHH, ಠoಠ ATTA BOY FIN! I knew you had it in you!">>"Karp karp."Rocket won the battle!
>"Eh hem, you owe us one of those badges, lady.">>>"But dat's not all. You can hand over the keys to this place - we're taking the gym for the new Team Rocket."Erika and the surrounding trainers broke into laughter.
>Erika: "Don't be silly, you can't order us out of our own gym. Just because you won the restricted league battle doesn't mean you stand a real chance against us. Ladies, call Officer Jenny to escort these boys out.">"Forget it, let's go Meowth - I don't wanna deal with no cops."They made for the exit, Rainbow badge in hand.
>>>"Get ready to hightail it outta here newbie. I got a goin' away present for them."Meowth pulled out a Pokeball with a string attached to it.
>"What's with the cat toy?">>>"This ain't no toy - I'm gonna blast 'em with a Team Rocket stink bomb! I kept some of our old gadgets for times like this.">"Sheesh, let me get outside first."Rocket ran out of the building and ducked behind a gate to hide, but after a minute or two Meowth was still inside. (What's taking him so long?) He started to get a whiff of something - not the stink bomb, but smoke. Rocket moved back and saw the gym was on fire.
Just then, Meowth came running out the door, the gym trainers chasing behind.
>>>"NYAAAAA, I GOT DA STINK BOMBS MIXED UP WITH THE BLAST BOMBS!">"OH FOR THE LOVE OF-">>>"RUN NEWBIE!"
