In the balloon, Team Rocket was waiting for Ash, Misty and Brock.
"To get to the city, they have to pass by here. We'll surprise them, grab that stupid rat, and get back to the Boss!" explained James.
"It's not just a stupid rat, it's a stupid electric rat!" pointed out Jessie.
"Um, well, we'll grab it anyway" said James.
Jessie rolled her eyes and was about to say something, but Meowth interrupted "Here they are! Get the twerps!"

Jessie and James jumped down from the balloon. "Oh no!" yelled Ash. Jessie started reciting the motto, but James noticiced Pikachu was getting a lot of electricity in it's cheeks.
"Grab it!" he yelled.
Jessie quickly stuffed Pikachu in glass tube, and they finished the motto.
"Perfect! Now we'll be the stars of the team!' Jessie said. There was a loud crash behind them.
"I got a bad feelin bout dat noise!" yelled Meowth.
Pikachu had broken out! And he wasted no time scorching Team Rocket.
"Ouch" they moaned.
"THIS couldn't get any worse" whined James.
At that moment, it did. They got arrested.
"I don't wanna go to jail!' whined James.
"Shut up. It was YOUR stupid idea that got us in jail in the first place." commanded Jessie.
"I'm hungry and I'm hot. Could they turn up the A/C?" James whined again.
"I told you to shut up so I could think!" Jessie yelled.

She bonked him on the head.
"Ow".
"Thinkin, huh? That should be new and exciting, you've never done that before" remarked Meowth under his breath.
Jessie bonked him on the head too.
"Ow".
After a minute, Jessie said quietly "WE'll have to tell the boss".
"NO!" yelled James and Meowth."He'll fry us, we're toast, we'll get fired at the least!" James moaned.
"Well how else are we going to get out of here? Got any better ideas, Einstein?" Jessie snapped.
James shook his head.
"You make the phone call" said Jessie.
"But it was your idea!" protested James.
"And your idea got us in jail" she said.

James slowly asked the warden if he could make a phone call, slowly walked to the phone, slowly picked up the phone, slowly dialed the number.
"Hurry up!" said Jessie.
"Well you do it than!" James retorted.
"Hello" growled Giovanni.
"Um, hi boss, how are you? Uh we're, we're, we're..." stammered James.
"Spit it out! I don't have time to talk to you all day!" growled the boss.
"WE're in jail!" James burst out.
"You what!!!!!" roared Giovanni.
James threw the phone to Jessie. She glared at him and held it away from her ear.
"I'll bail you out, next week!" he growled. "It has to wait, I can't interrupt my schedule."
Jessie wondered what his schedule was, but knew better than to ask.
"Um, yeah, very nice of you boss, thanks, um, thanks" she said, wondering desperatly if they would still be Team Rocket.
The boss slammed the phone down, and she glared at James, who was hiding under the set of bunk beds.
"HI" he stammered.
"You are in big trouble! If I didn't have a good idea, I would drag you out from under there and make you regret leaving me with the phone!" she yelled.
"Sorry?"
She stomped off. "We are going tohave to escape from jail. It's the only way to save our jobs. " she said.
"How?" asked james.
"Hmmmmmmmmmm."
"We could get out tonight, you pretend to be sick" she thought.
"That won't be hard" grumped James when he saw the food for dinner.
Later that night "Oh, my stomach and my head, and my arm, and my big toe" moaned James.
The warden looked at them skeptically.
"All right, I'll take you to the hospital". "Jessie too?" asked James.
"No" said thewarden.
"But I don't feel very good" said Jessie.
"And you won't either!" they yelled to the warden.
"Arbok, go" yelled Jessie.

The warden took one look at Arbok and froze with fear.
"Wheezing, go!" yelled JAmes.
He put the warden to sleep with Wheezing, and Jessie tied him up.
"Team Rocket strikes again!" They yelled, dancing around holding hands. They ran out, and climbed the prison wall. They found the balloon, and jumped in. Unfortunantly, it had a little hole in it.
"Team Rocket blasts off again!" They yelled as the balloon whizzed out of sight.
The boss was pretty happy with them, and let themkeep their jobs. Out of the office, they danced with joy.
"I thought Team Rocket would never blast off again!" Jessie said. "AS long as we're here, we'll blast off, together " answered James. And they set off again!
