CHAPTER 8 – TEAM ROCKET

"I'm home, grandma!" – Celeste said.

However, the house was completely silent, most likely no one was there.

"How strange..." – Celeste said.

Normally her grandmother would have called her if she had gone out.

She looked at her mobile phone but found nothing.

"Maybe she left you a note or something" – I suggested.

No idea, but it can be, you never know.

"Maybe, my grandmother doesn't like to use smartphones very much" – Celeste nodded.

The truth is that her grandmother hated using smartphones because, according to her, they were very difficult to use.

Celeste entered the room and when she looked on the table, she saw a note.

"Look, it's true, she left me a note..." – Celeste said.

I said it randomly, but it seems that I was right.

In any case, the note read as follows:

"Celeste, I went to the Pokémon Center to solve an issue, if you are reading this, it means that you have come before I could solve the problem, so come to the Pokémon Center to say goodbye to me" – the note.

"What a stubborn grandmother I have! Why doesn't he use her cell phone to tell me something like that?" – Celeste complained.

"Mmm, wait, it looks like It has something else written on it..." – I said.

What it said was:

"P.S. My smartphone has run out of battery" – the note.

"Mmm, it looks like I hurried, anyway, let's go to the Pokémon Center, after saying goodbye to my grandmother, we can leave" – Celeste said.

"Ok" – I nodded.

Well, anyway, I had to go to the Pokémon Center to register for the Pokémon League, yes, just like in the anime, if you want to participate, you have to sign up, but the truth is that it is quite logical.

After nodding, we both headed to the Pokémon Center, which wasn't far away.

When we entered I could notice that the Pokémon Center was the same as the one in the anime, specifically the same as the one in the first season, only it was curious to see that there were not only Pokémon from Kanto, but also Pokémon from other regions unlike in the first season.

"Come on, let's ask my aunt, she will know where my grandmother is" – Celeste said.

"Your aunt? I thought I would she will be your mother" – I said.

Although there is no difference between Joy nurses...

"No, my mother is currently in Sinnoh, I live with my grandmother for a few years, while my aunt lives at home with her husband" – Celeste said.

"I see" – I nodded.

Anyway, we approached the counter.

"Celeste, you've finally arrived, I thought you weren't going to say goodbye to me!" – exclaimed nurse Joy, whom we will now call Celeste's aunt.

"This... yes, but first I would like to know where my is grandmother" – Celeste said.

"Wow, it looks like you've already made a friend, could you introduce me to me?" – Celeste's aunt said ignoring her words.

"My name is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town and this is my partner Pikachu" – I greeted.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I hope Celeste hasn't given you much trouble" – smiled Celeste's aunt.

"Auntie!" - Celeste exclaimed embarrassed.

Seeing her blush, Celeste's aunt looked at Ash and then Celeste and smiled.

"It seems that spring has come to my sweet niece, who envies being young..." – said Celeste's aunt.

"Auntie, if you say anything else, I will never talk to you again!" – Celeste exclaimed embarrassed.

How could her aunt embarrass her in front of her new friend?

Celeste's aunt smiled because she was sure that soon her niece would have a boyfriend, how would her sister react when she told her tonight? She was already looking forward to the night to tell her.

"Anyway, from the clothes you are wearing you must be a Pokémon trainer, am I wrong?" - asked Celeste's aunt.

"No, but... is it so noticeable?" – I asked curiously.

Well, I always thought that Pokémon trainers have a pretty unique way of dressing, but... It would be nice to know as a simple curiosity.

"Yes, but that's not the reason, I saw a lot of trainers over the years, by the way, have you already registered for the Pokémon League?" – Celeste's aunt said.

"That's true! I almost forgot, if you can register me I would appreciate it..." – I said.

"No problem, just give me your Smartphone and that's all" – said Celeste's aunt.

I nodded and gave her the Smartphone.

"Alright, now we put this in here and touch some buttons and..." – Celeste's aunt said.

Basically, what she did was put my Smartphone in a kind of slot, as if it were a CD and then typed on a PC behind her.

"Let's see... Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town, 15 years old, Starter Pokémon: Pikachu, is that correct?" – Celeste's aunt said.

"Yes" – I nodded.

"Perfect, you're already registered, but don't forget to inform a Pokémon Center when you get all the badges, because they must know if you will participate in this year's Pokémon League" – said Celeste's aunt.

"Of course" – I nodded.

I wonder how long it will take me to have my 8 badges...

"Ehem, now that you've registered and all that... can you tell me where grandma is?" – Celeste asked impatiently.

"I'm here, couldn't you be a little less noisy?" – said a female voice.

Basically, the woman was just like a nurse Joy, but much older.

"Grandma, thank goodness I found you! What has happened that you have left in such a hurry?" – Celeste asked.

"Officer Jenny called me and told me to come to the Pokémon Center as soon as possible" - Celeste's grandmother said.

"Officer Jenny? What happened to make her call you suddenly?" – Celeste asked curiously.

"I will explain it to you myself" – someone suddenly said.

Basically, and not to beat around the bush, it was Officer Jenny, although I must admit that in real life she is much more beautiful than in the anime, should I try something with her?

"Excuse me, but... What's going on?" – I asked curiously.

"You see, apparently two people belonging to Team Rocket have been seen around here and we are looking for them fervently, I wanted to talk to Celeste's grandmother to tell her to be careful in the Pokémon Center because we don't know why they are here" - said Officer Jenny.

"Team Rocket, here?" - asked Celeste surprised.

"That's right, unfortunately I can't stay here any longer as I have a lot of work to do, but if you hear anything or see something strange, don't hesitate to let me know and I'll be here faster than an Arcanine" – said Officer Jenny.

Then, she left.

"Anyway, I doubt Team Rocket will come here" - Celeste said.

"Why did you say that, Celeste? You have literally just raised a flag" – I said.

"What do you mean?" - asked Celeste.

It seemed that everyone was about to recriminate Celeste, when suddenly, the light from the Pokémon Center turn off, alarming everyone present.

"Silly girl, why did you open your mouth?" – her grandmother sighed.

"Everyone calm down, I'm sure the fuses have blown, don't worry, I'll go right now to restore the light!" – Celeste's aunt said.

But just at that moment.

"Stop, no one is going to move from here!" – said a voice.

We all looked in the direction where that voice was heard and we could see two people and a Pokémon, basically Jessie, James and little Meowth.

"Who are you?" asked Celeste.

"Who are we?" – James asked.

"If you don't know, we'll tell you" - Jessie said.

"Nya, that's right, we'll make sure you remember" - Meowth nodded.

And then they began to sing their motto, the famous motto that we all know.

Jessie: Prepare for trouble...

James:... and make it double!

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!

James: To unite all peoples within our nation!

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!

James: To extend our reach to the stars above!

Jessie: Jessie!

James: James!

Jessie: Team Rocket, blasting off at the speed of light!

James: Surrender now or prepare to fight!

Meowth: Meowth! That's right.

It seems that these three also exist in this timeline, it seems to me that the time has come to take action.
