The peaceful late-morning air was shattered by the piercing wail of alarm sirens as three masked figures hastily ran from the bank entrance, their arms loaded with canvas bags, strings of jewelry and other miscellaneous bundles. Two guards were right behind them but quickly realizing there was no catching them on foot, they slowed to a halt. Yelling again for them to stop, the one guard drew his gun and fired several shots. They whizzed past the robber's heads, who yelped and picked up their pace as they dashed back to their getaway vehicle. Rounding a corner into a small alley, they threw open the door of a beat-up van, tossed the bags into
James, the male member of Team Rocket, held a small box in his hand containing a ring. He planned to use it to propose to Jessie, the female member, that Tuesday. Jessie was out for the weekend, so he had time to plan. James began to wonder if Jessie would accept the ring. Of course she will, we've been dating for a year! But what if she thought things were too sudden? What if she didn't think that they were ready? What if that was the same day that she would break up with him? He laid down face-first on his bed. "Sometin' troublin' ya, Jim?" James looked down to their pesky feline Pokemon, Meowth. He could walk and talk, he was essentially a
The night sky hung luminously over Team Rocket as they sat around the fire they made from what little wood and tender they could find. Jessie sat on one side and James on the other, while Meowth, who was resting peacefully, to the side near a tree; a gentle purr came from him. Both the humans stared with a deep gaze into the fire. The burning embers soothed them from the cold, and their thoughts. It had been two days since they tried (again) to obtain the Pikachu that they hoped would put them back into a good light Giovanni, and help them get up higher in Team Rocket's organization.
James had been deeper in thought for the last few weeks th

No continente Johto, encontra-se a mística Floresta de Ilex. Um guardião zela por ela como um santuário. Apesar da frágil aparência, Celebi, cuja lenda diz que é capaz de viajar no tempo, é inteligente e tem grandes poderes. Ele parece ser único e avistá-lo é quase impossível.

Celebi sempre passeava livremente por sua querida floresta, observando e certificando se tudo estava em ordem. Mal sabia, o pequ
James kicked the pebble on the ground as he walked along the dirt path that was leading him to somewhere he knew not of. With his hands in his pockets and his head down, he scowled in disgust at a thought. All of a sudden, he kicked the pebble a lot harder and it flew into the trees, hitting something.
"Ow!!" or someone. James gasped as he heard the girl yell and he quickly ran over, looking for the person.
"Oh dear I'm terribly sorry! I kicked the pebble! I didn't mean to hit you!" he called out to the girl. He passed by some bushes and saw a young girl with long brown hair sitting on the ground and rubbing her head as she clo
"Hey Jim, you know what today is, don'cha?" Meowth asked while walking slowly into the kitchen. He sniffed the air and rubbed his stomach, glad that at least someone on their team knew how to cook.
James turned away from the frying pan and raised an eyebrow at his feline partner. "...what today is?"
Another raised eyebrow was his reply. "Youse really don't know?"
The blue-haired man leaned against the stove and pressed a hand to his chin. "Today is...February the fourteenth..."
