Summary: "How exactly were you planning on making the twerps blast off?"
Characters: Ash, Pikachu, Jessie, James, Meowth
Disclaimer: I own nothing related to Pokemon except Platinum, two Pokeballs and my army of ghost types who will take over the world!
Author Notes: Written while watching Ash battle Paul in Season 12. Don't ask me why I wrote a Rocket-centered fic while watching Ash 'cos I have no clue. This story can be set pretty much anywhere along the show's timeline whether you prefer the Kanto, Orange Islands, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh or Unova series! I hope you enjoy it! :D

"Are you sure the twerps are coming this way, Meowth?"
"Of course, Jess! This here is the only path to that next gym the twerp is challenging."
James stopped digging and leaned on his shovel with a sigh. "I hope you're right. Otherwise we'll have wasted the last few hours."
"And how else could we have spent them? Ain't like we got many other options."
"Sadly, Meowth's right. We really haven't accomplished much since being assigned to catch that Pikachu."
"When you say it out loud it's really much worse," James muttered.
"I know, but unfortunately it's all too true. Who knows how many times we've been blasted off by that little rat! I say its time for them to do the blast off!"
"Nice idea, Jess, but how exactly were you planning on making the twerps blast off?"
"Hey, don't look at me! You're the best planner, Meowth!"
James sighed and climbed out of the pit as his fellow team members continued to argue. Walking over to a tree next to the road he pulled a candy bar from his pocket and tore the wrapper while settling down on the grass.
A split second later both Jessie and Meowth were beside him, looking expectantly at his snack.
"Aah!"
"So, holding out on us, hmm, James?"
"Yeah, where'd you get that candy?!"
James clutched the food tightly and glared at his team members. "You know full well where I got it! It's not my fault that you both ate yours right after getting them!"
"Come on, James, we're a team! And teams share!"
"Oh...fine then. But you have to promise you'll share yours next time!"
"We promise!" they chorused.
Breaking the candy bar into three equal pieces, James handed one to both of his friends before taking a bite of his own.
"Mmm," Team Rocket sighed in unison.
"You know, I have an idea."
"What, James?"
"Why don't we forget about catching Pikachu today and just relax? I think after all our work we deserve a day off!"
"I agree. Let's just sit here and forget all about twerps."
"Meowth thinks that's a good idea."

"Hey, guys, look it's Team Rocket!"
"Quiet, Ash, maybe we can sneak past without waking them up!"
"Good idea. Let's just keep an eye out for those pit traps they like so much."
"Pi-ka."
