(Well, hi again its me Misty Kasumi Ketchum with Part 3 and pokemon does not belong to me except Silvia and that Arcanine in Part 1 and so remember to tell me what you think well enough talk on to Part 3!)

Where The Trail of Discovery goes....
Part 3 Meeting The Enemy

?Jess, why do we need the twerp?? asked James with a little confusion.
?Since he won?t join the team, the boss will make him join,? said Jessie.
?How??
?He has his ways! Believe me, I?ve seen it when I was top cat!? added Meowth with a shiver.
?But he?s almost dead,? said James.
?No, the medics are healing him right now,? said Jessie as she gestured to a door close by.


Later, Ash opened his eyes to discover that he was strapped to a stretcher.
?Ow.. What happened? Where am I?? asked Ash as he came to.
?Meowth! It?s about time ya woke up!? said Meowth
?Let?s get him to the boss!? said Jessie.
?Righty-oh!? said James as he pushed the stretcher while Ash struggled to free himself.

?Hey! Let me out of this stupid thing!? Ash complained.
?Well, we?re here, twerp!? said Jessie, and then opened a large door to reveal a pitch black room, with a dark figure sitting at a desk.
?Who is it?? asked the figure with an irritated tone.
?It?s us, sir!? answered Jessie in fear.
?Well, here?s the twerp that ruins all of your plans!? said James as he pushed Ash to the dark figure. Then the figure got up from his chair and looked at Ash with only the light of the moon shining through the window.
?You fools are telling me this is the one who won?t join, either? He?s a kid!? he added, not believing his eyes.
?That?s right,? said a nervous Jessie.
?Well, I?ll fix that!? said the figure calmly as he studied Ash with an evil grin plastered on his face while petting his Persian.
Then Ash looked up at the figure and said with anger in his voice, ?What do you mean? I?ll never! Now give me back Pikachu and the rest of my Pokémon!?
?I knew you wouldn?t, so I prepared a little something,? said the man that came into the light.
?What do you mean??
?Have any idea what happened while you were being healed??
?No..??
?You will soon find out!? said the man with a evil grin, before he told Jessie and James to take Ash to the basement and tie him up so he wouldn?t escape, while he sent Butch and Cassidy to put the other part of the plan into action.


Then Jessie, James and Meowth took Ash to the basement, and just when they?re going to tie him up, they loosened the straps together.
?Okay, James, you grab the twerp on my count!? said Jessie.
?Right, Jess!? agreed James.
?One..? counted Jessie.
?Two..? James continued.
?Three!? Meowth ended.
?Hey, where?s the twerp?? Jessie then asked.
?Over dar, pee brains!? said Meowth as he pointed to Ash running. They then go see Giovanni again and tell him that Ash has run off.


I?ll just find Pikachu and my Pokéballs and get out of here! Ash thought as he ran through the building.
He then hid as he heard footsteps coming, as the same man from before turns the corner while looking at a device in his hand. Then he stops, closes the door and grips Ash?s arm.
?Hey, let go of my arm! Where are you taking me?!? asked Ash as the man led him to the same office from before.
?To my office, so Persian and I can keep an eye on you,? he added.
?What??
?Since those blundering fools can?t keep an eye on you!? added the man as he looked at Ash.
When they reached the office, he opened the door and went to his desk as he still gripped Ash?s arm. He then opens a drawer and pulled out a pair of handcuffs. Ash freed himself from the man?s grasp before he can cuff him and headed for the door, only to be stop by the Persian, while the man crept up behind him and knocked him out cold, and locks the cuffs.

Meanwhile, back in the forest..
**************************************


Brock returned to see Misty crying, and alone where he had last left her with Ash and Pikachu.
?Misty! Misty, where?s Ash?? asked Brock with great concern.
?Brock, they took Ash!? said Misty uneasily.
?Who??
?Team Rocket!? continued Misty as she looked back at Brock.
?Come on, let?s go see Officer Jenny,? said Brock as he and Misty left the forest.


?Ouch.. My head..? said Ash groggily as he came to.
?It?s about time you?ve awakened!? said the man.
?Okay, how did you know where I was in this big place?? asked Ash.
?I guess I can tell you, since you?ll be a part of Team Rocket soon,? said the man.
?Never!? Ash protested.
?I still have a few tricks.. Like when I found you with this device!? he said as he pulled out a small device from his pocket.
?What does that stupid thing have to do with me?? asked Ash, a little annoyed.
?You know we healed you, right?? he questioned as he grinned. Ash nodded his head in response.
?This is a tracker ring remote,? said the man as he held it up.
?But I don?t see a tracker ring or something around my arm or leg,? Ash said with confusion.
?I know, but if there was, you would have taken it off while you were hiding, so I had the medics put it in your arm,? answered the man. Ash then looked down at the floor sadly, with no hope of escape.
?So you?re not leaving this place unless you?re a part of my team, Team Rocket!? says the man with confidence.
Tears started to roll down Ash?s face silently as he still looked at the floor.
?Well, I?ve got things to do,? said the man as he started for the door, and paused to command Persian to keep an eye on Ash until he got back. Persian gave a purr as he agreed to his master?s command. When the door closed, Ash sat alone in the moon?s light, wondering if he?ll be able to ever see his friends again.

(Please tell me what you think but dont be to hard on me because its my first pokemon fic ever and the longest fic I ever wrote or any story I ever wrote. I got one of Tenchi too if anyone cares but I got to rewrite it I wrote it a year ago so you'll have to wait till I send it to The Tenchi Fanfiction Artchive. Well, this is Misty Kasumi Ketchum saying so long till Part 4 A New Friend!)
