66 The Four Strangers
Going back a long time ago before Pixel arrived in her current world..
In an underground location a group of Team Rocket were gathered together as they discussed the constant failures that happened as they tried to catch a Pikachu which had shown excellent potential but each time it ended in failure.
One boasted that it would be a success the next time they attempt to capture the Pikachu as a ball was revealed with an M marking on it.
Another group just so happened to be close by and had also run into the same Pikachu during their journey more than once.
It was enough for them to be recognised by the Pikachu which shocked them upon them getting anywhere near her.
They listened in and heard the overall plan so another plan was formed after they listened in.
A typical plan to use the moment of success to their advantage and gain all of the benefits.
The three of those Team Rocket members were very excited upon being confident in their success.
The time came for Pikachu to be caught by the Master Ball once she was distracted and caught ofd guard but things did not go as everyone thought.
Within the chaos which was created by the struggle between the spacial technology of the Master Ball and the electrical attacks being released by Pikachu, the team of three sneaked up within range to take the Master Ball once it had succeeded in capturing her.
Their plan was to send out some smoke bombs and other things to provide a distraction so they could escape but they never expected what happened next.
As Pikachu was caught up within the explosion and the rifts, so were the three who were close by.
On the day that Pixel was born in the One Piece world, there were three others which were born in other parts of the world into bodies which were similar to their souls.
They had been in a dormant state during the initial pregnancy stages until they were born which was when they became aware of their surroundings.
The two Pokémon which were Meowth and Pikachu had been born within Zou to suit their bodies and soul best to the Mink physiology.
Meowth found it difficult to adjust to being without his companions for so long and did not know if they were also out there somewhere in the world however he quickly became used to living a life filled with luxury.
He became a pampered and rich child which lacked nothing so his dream for a leisurely and lazy life had been satisfied.
His experiences with his partners had given him all kinds of knowledge and experiences which allowed him to put some ideas into practice especially when he possessed Electro and had a higher intellect.
He was a Meowth which had taught himself how to speak like a human so his intelligence could not be underestimated then he was reborn as a Mink so his rate of growth was very impressive.
He started researching and making mechanical and electrical tools and weapons at an early age then went on to perfect a couple of his inventions, the hunting event was a perfect place to test his finished inventions so he took a couple with him.
He did not expect to meet Cleo and then later meet Pixel whose identity he was curious about.
He was hoping that the person he met was going to be one of his old companions but it turned out to be the Pikachu they failed to capture and the reason why he was in the current world.
He did not blame Pixel because it was their own fault that they were even there to begin with.
Not only was he living a carefree and fun life as a Mink but he had also established a closer relationship to the Meridian family because of his engagement to Cleo who he got along well with so he did not hold any grudges against Pixel and instead hoped that she would become closer to him.
His days of sneaking around and stealing Pokémon were over and his new life had begun with many new family members and responsibilities so it was unknown if he would even see his old companions or if they would be able to go back to their old partnership after they had started out in their new lives.
Meanwhile there was a girl with long red hair born within a family that did alot of underground tasks and business from assassinations, information gathering, theft and sabotage.
From a young age, her father put her through all kinds of training and fed her all kinds of dangerous poisons in small doses to raise her immunity.
Once she started growing more, the girl named Jessica started showing her great potential as a singer and dancer so her father had decided to let her live two lives.
A rare devil fruit named the double fruit became her cover and her weapon to use as she started participating in missions of her own for the organisation and to prove herself to her father.
Jessica performed on the stage while a double which she created if herself had carried out the task which provided her the perfect alibi.
Many fans in the audience were able to point out that Jessica had always been on stage or nearby so even if she was suspected in some way, there was no way to prove it when so many eyes had seen her performing in front of them.
Jessica was previously Jessie who had joined Pixel and Micah in being reborn into the one piece world and she adapted to it very quickly thanks to her experiences in Team Rocket.
Many of her experiences helped to improve the efficiency of the organisation and helped her father to take a firmer hold over their own people who had caused problems for a long time or were showing disloyalty.
Finally was a blue haired child which had been born into a noble family who had been brought up with the expectations of the family.
The child felt that the situation was very similar and haunting because it was just like his previous life.
He was a noble which ran away from an arranged marriage set by his family so he later found himself in Team Rocket being partnered with Jessie.
When he was capable enough to protect himself, he escaped once again from his duties which made him feel suffocated while cutting off any connections to his family.
He travelled around the land with a sword and pistol until he finally found himself at sea encountering all kinds of interesting people.
He quickly got used to the life where he had to kill to protect what was his and to take what others had if they had attacked him.
Jae who was previously James of Team Rocket was living a thrilling life on the seas at a young age and was gaining a decent amount of wealth from those that attempted to rob, capture or kill him.
Most of them were small time pirates, bandits and thugs but it was more than enough for him to handle and gain enough wealth to support himself and invest into certain areas.
Jessie and James always had excellent abilities to make money for their various plans in the previous world so they had many kinds of skills to allow them to pick up all kinds if different roles.
It was simple for them to earn money so Jae and Jessica were able to find their own way to live and gain power for themselves while Pixel and Micah were still stuck in Zou.
Micah told his own story about what his life had been like since he appeared in the world as a Mink and a little about his life in the other world. "So it is like that."
Pixel held out her hand. "Well.. it is good to meet you and I hope that this time that we will not be enemies with each other. You mentioned that those two were with you when that happened back then so do you think they are out there somewhere?"
Micah pondered and replied. "I hope so too.. hmm.. if those two are in this world then they are probably thriving or causing trouble somewhere. Judging by how both of us ended up in the same place there must be something similar which brought us together. Perhaps it is that we are only compatible with a certain race and most of the Mink race are usually born on Zou unless they are somewhere around the world but those odds are less. They must have been born as humans if my theory is correct but apparently the world is primarily made up of humans so it will be difficult to find them."
Pixel rolled her eyes. "I doubt it since you mentioned that your luck is quite good.. perhaps you will be reunited one day. If they are as you have said then we do not have to look far, they will appear on their own after becoming famous figures."
Micah nodded in agreement. "Mm.. you are right. They do like to attract the attention of others and like to show off or be dramatic so it will be difficult for them to not be noticed."
While Pixel and Micah were discussing about the fate of Jessica and Jae or Jessie and James, things were going exactly as they had guessed as the two of them were travelling around gaining a reputation for themselves in their own professions.
Jessica was becoming an up and coming diva while Jae was making a living collecting bounties, robbing criminals and doing odd jobs in between his travels.
It was not one person that had been brought to the One Piece world but instead that the One Piece world had welcomed four strangers to it from the Pokémon world.
