Chapter 4: The
Devise.
Jack and
Miyamoto were in a small cabin in the woods eating there breakfast of pancakes,
eggs and bacon.
ÒThis is
really good JackÓ The purple haired rocked said before gulping down a glass of
milk.
ÒThanksÓ Jack
said after he swallowed a mouthful of food.
ÒRing,
ring, ring phone call phone call Ring, ring, ring phone call phone callÓ
Came the
annoying buzz of the vid phone. Jack wiped the bacon grease from his mouth and
went to answer it.
As soon as he
picked up the screen flickered to life showing the dark shrouded figure of
Madam boss.
ÒJack I have
your next assignment are you ready?Ó she asked sinisterly.
ÒDoes it
matter?Ó Jack asked.
The boss
responded with a cold glare. ÒYour next assignment if to steal any possibly
valuable artifacts from a archaeological dig sight twenty miles north of your
current location. Your to bring it back to base understood?Ó
ÒYes bossÓ
Jack gave a solute and the screen went black.
ÒStealing a
bunch of junk sounds like funÓ Miyamoto said sarcastically stretching her arms.
Jack just
sighed. ÒWould you rather baby-sit Giovanni againÓ?
Miyamoto
shivered. ÒDonÕt you dare mention that again I had nightmares for months!Ó she
snapped. ÒSo where is this dig sight?Ó Miyamoto asked.
ÒSomewhere
near Mount Shar is my best guessÓ Jack said casually.
{At the dig
sight}
Numerous tents
were set up around a large hole dug deep into the ground. The hole leads to an
underground cavern. Numerous people dressed in the standard archaeological
clothing moved about the area. A two of them were repealing by ropes down into
the hole.
The first was
a man about Five foot eight the other was a kid about 10. He stood Five foot
four
The older man
had brown hair and dark colored eyes, well the teen had spiky black hair he
also had dark colored eyes
They turned on
there flashlights and looked about the room they now stood in. Ancient
hieroglyphics lined the walls. The older man walked over to one of them and
began to read.
ÒWhat does it
say Professor OakÓ asked the young man excitedly.
ÒHmm it speaks
of some kind of deviseÓ
ÒWhat does it
do?Ó
Oak walked
further along the wall.
ÒIt says here
I make birds swim and I can make fish fly hmm,Ó he said rubbing his chin.
ÒWhat the heck
does that mean?Ó
Professor Oak
thought for a moment. ÒI donÕt knowÓ
At that moment
an urgent sounding voice called to them from the holes entrance.
ÒProfessor
Oak, Mr. Ketchum lunch is readyÓ
ÒI told you
not to call me MR,Ó screamed the young trainer.
Professor Oak
turned to the young Ketchum (if your getting confused try AshÕs father at ten
years old)
ÒCome on its
time to eat will finish this laterÓ
Ten minutes
later their lunch was interrupted by.
ÒPrepare for
TroubleÓ
ÒAnd Make it
DoubleÓ
ÒTo cause are
enemies devastationÓ
ÒTo plunder
them across the nationÓ
ÒTo denounce
the evils of truth and loveÓ
ÒTo extend are
power to the stars aboveÓ
ÒMiyamotoÓ
ÒJackÓ
ÒTeam Rocket
blast of beyond the speed of lightÓ
ÒSurrender for
you shall lose the fightÓ
Jack and
Miyamoto slid down a rope from their Ski blue balloon above them. Each clad in
a minerÕs outfit complete with hardhat and pick ax.
ÒWhat are you
doing here!Ó screamed the young Ketchum.
ÒWeÕve come
for what ever you found in that ruin over thereÓ Jack said evilly.
ÒYou wonÕt get
away with this!Ó shouted Professor Oak.
ÒOh yes we
willÓ smiled Miyamoto as she threw a pokeball releasing Tangela, Jack threw his
own pokeball releasing Fearow.
ÒYour not the
only one with pokemon!Ó shouted Ketchum releasing a Kingler.
Miyamoto just
laughed Òyour water pokemon wont beat my grass, Tangela use vine whipÓ she
shouted. The Tangela jumped high into the air its vines whipped forward
striking the Kingler, the Massive crab responded with a groan of pain.
ÒKingler
HYPERBEAM!Ó
MiyamotoÕs
face paled. ÒOh boy this is going to hurt right JackÓ she said turned to her
partner who had disappeared. ÒJACK HOW DARE YOU ABANDON ME AT A TIME LIKE
THIS!?Ó she screamed as the hyper beam sent her and Tangela flying. Moments
before impacting the ground ten feet away she felt some one grab her shirt. It
was Jack riding Fearow. ÒJACK WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU!Ó Miyamoto screamed a
slightly burnt. ÒRobbing the dig site well you kept them busyÓ Jack smiled.
Òoh....Ó She said calming down. Jack laughed and pulled her onto the flying
pokemon.
Òcome one lets
get this thing back to baseÓ Jack said.
ÒUmm Jack what
happened my pokemon?Ó Miyamoto asked.
Òoh crapÓ
After a few
days Jack and Miyamoto arrived at base Alex, Brian, Tiffany and Kiki were
waiting for them. Miyamoto finally got to see what Jack stole. Pulling it from
a brown paper bag it was a short stone rod with wings coming out of it and
strange hieroglyphics on it. He also pulled out peaces of paper notes scribed
on them and pictures of the walls in the cavern showing the ancient
hieroglyphics from the walls.
Òhmm it looks
odd but not valuableÓ sighed Brian.
ÒHey
collectors will pay top dollar for this I beat!Ó Jack yelled.
A TV screen
lowered from the ceiling the image of Madam boss appeared on the screen. Òdid
you find anything?Ó
Òonly thisÓ Miyamoto
said snatching the object Jack.
Madam boss
sighed. ÒHmm well IÕm sure a collector of some kind might buy it bring it to
meÓ
Miyamoto
turned to leave but tripped the rod fell from her grasp and shattered when it
hit the ground. There was a bright flash and when it cleared everyone was
laying on the ground.
ÒIs everyone
ok in thereÓ shouted the Boss.
ÒMy head
hurtsÓ Kiki said trying to get up.
Òok Kiki how
about everyone elseÓ the boss said.
ÒIÕm Tiffany
not Kiki!Ó she pouted.
Òoh dear godÓ
moaned the boss.
ÔKikiÕ was
about to respond when she spotted her self Tiffany getting up. ÔTiffany
screamed upon seeing herself on the other end of the room.
Òmy head hurts
enough with out all that screamingÓ Brian moaned sitting up.
ÒBrian IÕve
switch bodies with KikiÓ screamed Tiffany.
ÒIÕm Alex
not... oh crapÓ ÔAlex was cut of by Brian.
ÒweÕve
switched bodies tooÓ he groaned.
The bossÕs
face was white as a sheet but impossible to see due to the lighting in her
office were the call was being made from.
ÒIt switched
your bodies!?.... wait what about Jack and MiyamotoÓ
The gang
turned to look at them. Their eyes bugged out of their heads their mouths
hanging open.
ÒJack are you
JackÓ asked Kiki. (Kiki in Tiffanies body)
ÒNoÓ he said
from Miyamoto's body.
ÒIÕll be
telling this to a shrink one dayÓ
Òassuming we
get are bodies backÓ
Madam Boss
gulped. ÒIÕll be right thereÓ
(authors notes

to help your remember whose who is a list)
Jack---Miyamoto
Brian---Alex
Tiffany---Kiki
When Madam
Boss arrived they were all sitting in chairs.
Òhow are all
of you doing other then the obvious?Ó she asked.
Brian was
holding his head. ÒMy head hurtsÓ
ÒSo does
mine.Ó Alex
muttered his head was hung low.
ÒIÕve got this
pain in my footÓ Tiffany groaned.
ÒIÕll be
ok.... physicallyÓ sighed Kiki.
The boss moved
along to Jack who was griping his stomach.
ÒHow are you
JackÓ she asked.
ÒIÕve got
these weird stomach cramps!Ó
Tiffany, Kiki,
the Boss and Miyamoto eyes went wide.
Jack looked at
each of them. ÒOh god no please tell me its not...Ó
