Jessie, James and Meowth were still in Johto and they were waiting for a boat to take them to Hoenn.

"Man we did well while here in Johto." Jessie said.

"Yeah, we ended up catching a lot of Pokémon for the boss." Meowth said.

"And we got ourselves new Pokémon too." James said.

"You're right," Jessie said, "I'm happy with my Wobbuffet, Granbull and of course my newest Pokémon Sneasel."

"And I'm happy with my Jumpluff, Chinchou and my newest Pokémon Teddiursa." James said.

"I know, let's go over of what we've done here in Johto," Meowth said, "I mean the boat isn't coming for the next thirty minutes."

"Good idea," Jessie said, "so what do we start with?"

"I know the swarms of Pokémon we caught over the next few weeks after the twerps stopped us from stealing the Dunsparce." James said.

"Okay let's start with that." Jessie said.

Meowth agreed.

(Start of Flashback 1)

It happened after Team Rocket failed to steal the town's Dunsparce.

"Uh those Dunsparce would have made us a fortune," Jessie said, "and now we won't be able to get them again."

"Actually we can." James said.

James was on the computer.

"I'm looking up the Pokémon swarms that happen here in Johto."

"I've heard of Pokémon swarms," Meowth said, "it's when a lot of Pokémon of the same species visit an area once a week."

"Exactly and I've found out about what and where and when all the swarms are."

"Does it say about Dunsparce?" Jessie asked.

"Yep, the next swarm of Dunsparce is in another five weeks' time and it will be around here again," James answered, "and there are other Pokémon swarms before then."

There was a swarm with Yanma, Marill, Snubbull, Quilfish and Remoraid.

"Great we can go after them, until it's the Dunsparce week," Meowth said, "but what about equipment?"

"Don't worry," James said, "I called the boss and asked him to send us empty PokéBalls and they should be here soon."

The pokeballs arrived the next day and Jessie, James and Meowth got to work on gathering the swarms of Pokémon.

(End of Flashback 1)

"We were successful of gathering the Pokémon swarms Yanma, Marill, Snubbull, Quilfish, Remoraid and Dunsparce thanks to our Pokémon." Jessie said.

"Yes especially my Gloom's and Victreebel's sleep powder attacks." James said.

"And we got a good payment from the boss for that." Meowth said.

"But our biggest payment was from all the water Pokémon we fished in the Whirl Islands." Jessie said.

"Your right," James agreed, "and that was when I got my Chinchou too."

"Another success of ours is when we ended up gathering a lot of Pokémon that were living in the forests outside the area where Tyson was having trouble with that Red Gyarados." Meowth said.

"Oh yeah." Jessie said.

(Start of Flashback 2)

It was after Jessie, James and Meowth decided to leave the area after they decided not to help out with the red Gyarados.

They had come to a forest that was miles away from Mahogany Town.

"Okay now according to this book of mine, there is said to be lots of different wild Pokémon living here." James said reading from the book.

Good thing that we have a whole sack full of empty PokéBalls for this then." Meowth said.

"Okay so how shall we gather them as this place is so big?" Jessie asked.

"Leave it to me." James smiled. He released a Vileplume and a Jumpluff from their PokéBalls.

"When did Gloom and Skiploom evolve?" Meowth asked.

"Sometime after we caught all the water pokemon for the boss," James answered, "Gloom saw a leaf stone in a shop and she wanted to evolve so I bought the stone and evolved Gloom into Vileplume. As for Skiploom well we were battling a trainer and Skiploom evolved into Jumpluff in the process."

"That's cool so now what?" Jessie said.

James ordered his two grass Pokémon to use sweet scent in the area, and then some Pokémon kept turning up.

There was Aipom, Caterpie, Weedle, Ledyba, Spinarak, Heracross, Pidgey, Hoothoot, Natu, Pichu, Pineco and Murkrow.

"Wow sweet scent is such a cool move, as it has the ability to make Pokémon come to the Pokémon who's using it." Meowth said.

"You're right." James smiled. He petted Vileplume and Jumpluff for doing a good job.

Then he, Jessie and Meowth caught them all.

(End of Flashback 2)

"That was a brilliant plan of ours, but our best haul was all of those fighting Pokémon we found in an abandoned warehouse." Jessie said.

"Yes I remember that." Meowth said.

(Start of Flashback 3)

Jessie, James and Meowth had arrived in Silver Town at that time.

They were having some time off and having a meal at the café.

Just then they heard some people talking about a warehouse outside Silver Town that had been abandoned for months.

"I hear that a gang of fighting type Pokémon lives in there now." A man said.

"I've heard that too," said another man, "and I've also heard that a Sneasel and Teddiursa live there too."

Jessie, James and Meowth were interested in that, so they finished their meal, paid the bill and left the café to check out the abandoned warehouse.

"If you two don't mind, I am going to catch the Teddiursa for myself," James said, "I've always wanted a Teddiursa."

"Okay, but I want the Sneasel." Jessie said.

Once they entered the warehouse, they got surrounded by the fighting Pokémon at once.

There was a Mankey, a Primeape, a Machop, a Machoke, a Machamp, a Tyrogue, a Hitmonlee, a Hitmonchan and a Hitmontop.

Jessie and James released all of their Pokémon at once and Arbok, Cloyster, Wobbuffet, Granbull, Weezing, Vileplume, Jumpluff, Chinchou and Victreebel managed to defeat all of them and Jessie and James caught them in the PokéBalls.

After capturing them they saw Sneasel and Teddiursa in a corner of the warehouse and they were hurt.

"We better get them to the Pokémon Centre." Jessie said.

James and Meowth agreed.

(End of Flashback 3)

"It's a good thing they healed well at the Pokémon Centre," Jessie said, "I mean that was unfair for the fighting Pokémon to beat the hell out of Sneasel and Teddiursa like crazy."

"Pokémon that live in packs or gangs do that though," Meowth said, "I lived in a pack of Meowth with a Persian one time and I used to watch Persian and the other meowth scratch the outside Pokémon like crazy all the time too."

"Yeah, but the good news is that they are out Pokémon now," James said, "and the fighting Pokémon are putting their muscles to good use at Team Rocket's headquarters."

"Yeah the Team Rockets Delibirds delivered them safely to the boss." Meowth said.

At that moment the boat for Hoenn turned up. "Well boys," Jessie said, "it's time to head over to the Hoenn region."

"Yeah, we can catch a lot of Hoenn Pokémon for the boss." Meowth said.

"And we can capture some Hoenn Pokémon for ourselves too." James said.

Jessie and Meowth agreed.

So they got onto the boat and looked forward to travelling to Hoenn.

1. It's like I said that Team Rocket is smarter in the story unlike the anime.

2. Since Misty and Brock have side story I wanted to create a side story for Team Rocket Success plans of capturing Pokémon.
