A man who cuddled Persian while sitting in the shadows of his gym smiled. He stared at the trainer in front of him who was trying to win his Earth Badge. He watched his pocket monsters battle the young man¹ s creatures. He would laugh quietly every now and then. An old woman¹ s voice echoed through the gym.
VOICE : SAKAKI ! SAAAAKAAAAKIIII !
SAKAKI : Time out !
He stood and walked into a room where an old woman sat at a desk.
SAKAKI : Why is it that whenever I battle someone in my gym, you summon me ?
The woman stopped tapping her cane on the rug.She stroked an old Persian. Her hair was long and gray. Her eyes were big with tinypupils.Her dress was black which matched her stockings and high heels. Her nails resembled talons.
OLD WOMAN : I am Granny Rocket the eldest Rocket and leader of our gang. You dare question me ?
SAKAKI : No, Grandma.
GRANNY ROCKET : Anyway, I have a mission for you.
SAKAKI : Who will be the gym leader in my place ?
Granny Rocket used her cane to whack his shoulder.
GRANNY ROCKET : SHUT UP AND LISTEN !
Sakaki nodded as he made it obvious that he was in pain.
GRANNY ROCKET : You are to capture Mew the rarest monster within 24 hours. I wo uld capture it myself, but I¹ m too old. You¹ re young. You will be required to be a woman.
SAKAKI : Why a woman ?
GRANNY ROCKET : I have my reasons. I¹ ll be monitoring your every move so don¹ t mess up.
Sakaki bowed.
SAKAKI : Yes, Grandma.
His grandmother¹ s cane made physical contact with his head.
GRANNY ROCKET : I couldn¹ t resist.
Sakaki¹ s Persian approached its counterpart. It ran behind Sakaki when Granny Rocket¹ s Persian swiped its face.
SAKAKI : Grandma !
GRANNY ROCKET : Leave your Persian behind. I¹ ll use it during gym battles.
SAKAKI : No ! Not Persian !
He cowered when she raised her cane.
GRANNY ROCKET : Fail and not only will I fire you, I¹ ll also reveal your secret.
Sakaki nodded. He knelt in front of his concerned Persian and kissed it. He Œ¹ switched his gender Œ¹ and exited the gym in search of Mew.... Musashi, Kojiro, and Nyarth walked within the forest.
NYARTH : If we don¹ t steal any pocket monsters, the boss will whomp us.
Musashi and Kojiro nodded.
KOJIRO : I wish that something horrible would happen to him.
Nyarth pointed at something.
NYARTH : Look ! A weak princess !
A woman limped towards the Rocket Gang until she collapsed. Her hair was long and golden. Her eyes were concealed. Her dress was blue. Her high heels were pink. Her crown was golden. In reality, she was Sakaki in disguise ! Musashi¹ s eyes lit up.
MUSASHI : A real live princess ! Perhaps she has a ton of gold at her castle.
NYARTH : Maybe if we help her, she¹ ll reward us.
KOJIRO : We¹ ll never have to work for the boss again.
A drop formed near the Œ¹ woman¹ s Œ¹ head.
MUSASHI : What is ailing you, Princess ?
She never recognized Sakaki¹ s voice even when he imitated a woman.
PRINCESS : Ohhhh !
Œ¹ She Œ¹ fainted in Kojiro¹ s arms.
PRINCESS : I need a Mew so that I could be healed. I¹ ll die without a Mew.
Tears exited Œ¹ her Œ¹ hidden eyes.
MUSASHI : Mew ?
PRINCESS : A male Mew trainer is destined to be my eternal prince.
KOJIRO : I might have a Mew ! I¹ m your prince !
Another drop appeared near Sakaki¹ s head. The princess looked up when Tekeshi and Kenji approached Œ¹ her. Œ¹
TEKESHI : I saw and heard you from a mile away. Not only am I a Mew trainer, I¹ m also your prince forever, Princess.
He blushed as he held Œ¹ her Œ¹ hands. Kenji sketched something on a drawing pad.
KENJI : Could you hold still until I complete my sketch ? Thanks, Princess.
Musashi thought about all of the gold within the Œ¹ castle. Œ¹
MUSASHI : Does the Mew trainer have to be a man ? What if a woman owns a Mew and wants only gold ?
TEKESHI : I saw her first !
The false princess watched him drool. Œ¹ She Œ¹ was amused.
TEKESHI : You are the most beautiful woman in the universe.
PRINCESS : Keep talking. If I can¹ t have Mew, perhaps your love will revive me.
TEKESHI : Yes, Your Highness.
KOJIRO : Maybe you can be my princess, Musashi.
The female Rocket whacked him with a mallet !
MUSASHI : In your dreams.
She dragged him as Nyarth followed them.
KOJIRO : Too late, Musashi. You¹ re already a princess in my dreams.
Musashi rolled her eyes. Tekeshi scowled at Kenji.
TEKESHI : Are you done yet ?
KENJI : Now I am.
He stopped sketching.
KENJI : Thanks for your cooperation, Miss.
He ran away. Tekeshi drooled and smiled.
TEKESHI : Now we can finally be alone together.
He bent over.
TEKESHI : Would you be kind enough to spank me ? I¹ ve been a very bad boy.
PRINCESS : Hand or paddle ?
TEKESHI : Your lovely hand.
PRINCESS : OK !
Œ¹ She Œ¹ raised Œ¹ her Œ¹ hand until Œ¹ she Œ¹ stopped. Œ¹ She Œ¹ knew that Œ¹ her Œ¹ mother was watching Œ¹ her Œ¹ every move. Œ¹ She Œ¹ had to find and capture Mew. Œ¹ She Œ¹ playfully spanked Tekeshi once. Œ¹ She Œ¹ giggled and ran. Œ¹ She Œ¹ never saw him smile even more and fall over. The princess ran until Œ¹ she Œ¹ saw a town at the edge of the forest. Œ¹ She Œ¹ observed a tiny building and entered it. Œ¹ She Œ¹ found Œ¹ herself Œ¹ near a tiny stage within a bar. Œ¹ She Œ¹ had anidea. Sakaki became a female singer. Œ¹ She Œ¹ wore another golden wig and anotherdress.Œ¹ Her Œ¹ plan was to attract Mew by lip synching to music. Œ¹ She Œ¹ got onstage. Œ¹ She Œ¹ watched a few adult men appear. Œ¹ She Œ¹ pressed PLAY on the CDplayer.
FEMALE SINGER : Mad Machine !
Kanashimi ga konagona ni
Do not stop your love. Your love.
Teoi no kemono ne futari maru de.
Tell me what do you want ? Tell me how do you feel ?
Mad Machine !
Feeling so bad. So bad.
Teoi no kemono ga....
Tell me what do you want ? Tell me how do you feel ?
After the performance, Sakaki looked around the bar hoping that Mew would arrive. He sighed. He exited the building. He wandered into the forest again. The Œ¹ singer Œ¹ wandered aimlessly until Œ¹ she Œ¹ heard something mew aboveŒ¹ her. Œ¹
FEMALE SINGER : Mew ?
The white creature was on a tree branch. It giggled. Sakaki had another idea. This time he was a hysterical woman whose pet was stuck. Œ¹ Her Œ¹ hair was long and blue. Œ¹ Her Œ¹ eyes were hidden as usual. Œ¹ Her Œ¹ dress reached Œ¹ her Œ¹ feet. Tears appeared again.
HYSTERICAL WOMAN : HEEEELLLLP ! MY MONSTER IS IN A TREE ! I¹ M TOO WEAK TO CLIMB ! I NEED A STRONG AND HANDSOME MAN !
A stocky male trainer approached Œ¹ her. Œ¹
TRAINER : Your monster is stuck in that tree because of your horrible shrieking ! I don¹ t blame it.
The Œ¹ woman Œ¹ scowled.
HYSTERICAL WOMAN : RAAAAPE !
TRAINER : Calm down ! I¹ m getting away from you !
He ran away.
HYSTERICAL WOMAN : HELP ME ! SOMEONE !
Œ¹ Her Œ¹ tears became convincing. She Œ¹ was curious when various trainers went up to Œ¹ her. Œ¹ They threw empty monster spheres at Œ¹ her. Œ¹
TRAINERS : BE QUIET !
They left.
MEW : Mew !
It teleported. It appeared again above the crying Œ¹ woman¹ s Œ¹ head. It avoided Œ¹ her Œ¹ attempts to manually capture it. It giggled again. The Œ¹ woman Œ¹ chased it.
HYSTERICAL WOMAN : I WON¹ T LET YOU GET AWAY ! I NEED TO CAPTURE YOU !
MEW : Mew !
It enjoyed dodging the transvestite. It saw a tall tree and sat at the very top of it. It rocked back and forth. It lost its balance and fell from branch to branch.
MEW : Mew ! Mew ! Mew ! Mew ! Mew ! Mew ! Mew ! Mew ! Mew ! Mew !
The Œ¹ woman Œ¹ caught it in Œ¹ her Œ¹ arms. Œ¹ She Œ¹ smiled until it teleportedagain. Œ¹ She Œ¹ sat down on a stone and began to cry in reality. Mew appeared and hovered in front of Œ¹ her. Œ¹
MEW : Mew !
It watched Œ¹ her Œ¹ shoulders move up and down with every sob. It saw Œ¹ her Œ¹ trembling body. Œ¹ She Œ¹ looked up and studied it for a long time. Œ¹ She Œ¹ sighed.
WOMAN : You¹ re too cute. Perhaps I shouldn¹ t capture you. You should be free.
MEW : Mew !
It vanished.
The Œ¹ woman Œ¹ sighed before she became Sakaki again. He was unaware that Musashi, Kojiro, and Nyarth saw him as he returned to HQ. They followed him. They walked behind him even when he entered Granny Rocket¹ sgym. His grandmother was not happy. She hit her cane against her palm several times.
GRANNY ROCKET : I have decided not to fire you or tell your secret, Sakaki.
NYARTH : Secret ?
GRANNY ROCKET : Instead, I¹ ll torture the four of you.
SAKAKI : What ?
NYARTH : Why us ?
KOJIRO : Who are you anyway ?
GRANNY ROCKET : I am Granny Rocket the eldest Rocket. I also lead our gang.The four of you are useless so you must suffer.
SAKAKI : Where¹ s Persian ?
GRANNY ROCKET : I made it into a rug.
SAKAKI : Liar !
Her cane hurt his head. Sakaki, Musashi, and Kojiro removed their monster spheres. Their creatures exited their homes. The monsters took one look at Granny Rocket and returned to their spheres !
SAKAKI : How did you.... ?
GRANNY ROCKET : You dare attack the most powerful Rocket ? Idiots !
She pressed a button on her desk which turned her office into a dungeon ! She watched chains shackle Musashi, Kojiro, Nyarth, and Sakaki. She enjoyed watching them struggle. She grinned.
GRANNY ROCKET : I think I¹ ll torture the red haired girl first.
KOJIRO : Leave her alone !
Granny Rocket grinned as she removed an electric razor from her dress. She enjoyed Musashi¹ s screaming and crying.
MUSASHI : Please ! Don¹ t ! My hair is my one true love. Please !
She sobbed a few times. She shrieked even before anything happened.
KOJIRO & SAKAKI : Musashi !
Their friend noticed a mirror in front of her so that she would see herself lose her hair. She screamed when she saw her hair fall to the ground little by little. She noticed that her head was becoming pure white. She knew that Kojiro wassuffering. She was curious when she saw tears in her employer¹ s eyes. He did put her on a faulty blimp once and expected her to die.
SAKAKI : Don¹ t torture them any longer, Grandma. I¹ m the one who failed the mission to capture Mew. You should torture me. Let them go.
Musashi, Kojiro, and Nyarth were shocked. Perhaps he did like them. They wondered if the old woman would listen to him. They saw her lift her cane and.... They gasped when she hit his face.
GRANNY ROCKET : I¹ ll deal with you later.
She walked over to Musashi and continued to shave her head. Kojiro growled. He knew that Granny Rocket wanted him to feel anger. He couldn¹ t help it. He looked at his boss who winced. He noticed a streak of blood. The face was also bruised. Musashi saw all of her hair on the ground. She stared at her shiny white head.
MUSASHI : NOOOOOOOO !
Seeing Musashi cry caused Kojiro to attempt to break away from his chains.
NYARTH : Am I next, Granny Rocket ?
She approached him while smiling and nodding.
NYARTH : I¹ ll make you a deal. Let me go and I¹ ll serve you for the rest of my life. You wouldn¹ t prefer Persian over me like your grandson, would you ?
GRANNY ROCKET : I love my Persian.
SAKAKI : Where is my Persian ?
Granny Rocket stabbed her grandson¹ s stomach so that he wouldn¹ t breathe. Kojiro felt guilty about his wish for something horrible to happen to Sakaki. He stared at Musashi again. He wanted to hold and comfort her, but he could not. It was one of Granny Rocket¹ s ways of making them suffer. The sadistic old woman stroked her Persian in front of Nyarth whose eyes watered. She then concentrated on Sakaki. She dropped her cane.
SAKAKI : What are you going to do ?
He gasped when his jacket was slid halfway down his shackled arms. His vest was unbuttoned. His leg was touched. His trousers were unzipped. Musashi, Kojiro, and Nyarth couldn¹ t help staring at their boss who whimpered. They started to feel sorry for him as they watched him suffer for an hour. Just then, Sakaki¹ s Persian stepped between Granny Rocket and her grandson. Granny Rocket quickly lifted her cane as it walked towards her. It jumped in the air until she used her cane to hit it. Sakaki gasped. He shrieked and wept uncontrollably.
NYARTH : Wow ! He really did love that Persian.
KOJIRO : Perhaps the boss isn¹ t so bad after all.
GRANNY ROCKET : Quiet you !
She hit her grandson¹ s sensitive area. She watched him collapse on his knees. She stepped on Persian¹ s dead body.
GRANNY ROCKET : Your Persian would make an excellent rug, Sakaki.
She removed a dagger from her desk and ordered Sakaki to watch her skin Persian.She saw him vomit as she skinned the pocket monster. She enjoyed hearing her grandson scream and cry. Musashi, Kojiro, and Nyarth felt even more pity for their boss. Just then, the chains were broken by an unseen force !
GRANNY ROCKET : WHAT ?!
She gasped when Mew appeared inside a pink bubble ! The pocket monster hovered near Sakaki. It landed in his arms and looked up.
MEW : Mew !
It observed Granny Rocket who stepped back and put her hand over her chest. It tilted its head.
MEW : Mew ?
GRANNY ROCKET : The rarest pocket monster !
She gasped as her heart stopped thus causing her to collapse and die. Her Persian joined her. Kojiro held Musashi and kissed her bald scalp. Sakaki completed his suit.
NYARTH : Why would a tiny pocket monster like Mew kill an old lady ?
SAKAKI : She did want to see it and she got her wish. Seeing the rarest pocket monster was too much for her so she had a heart attack.
He walked over to his desk where he pressed a button which revived his office. He sat at it.
KOJIRO : What is our next mission, sir ?
MUSASHI : I can¹ t go outside looking like this !
SAKAKI : I¹ m shutting down the Rocket Gang.
Musashi, Kojiro, and Nyarth gasped.
NYARTH : Why ?
SAKAKI : Grandma started it so that she could make a profit. I didn¹ t want to help her lead the Rocket Gang. I just wanted to be a monster trainer and gym leader.
He cuddled Mew.
NYARTH : Boss ? I¹ m sorry about Persian.
Sakaki sighed.
SAKAKI : I will miss Persian, but I have a new pet.
MEW : Mew !
NYARTH : Oh.
KOJIRO : We can move in together and maybe start a family, Musashi.
Musashi nodded.
MUSASHI : We don¹ t have any money.
SAKAKI : That won¹ t be a problem.
KOJIRO : Thank you.
Sakaki smiled and nodded.
MUSASHI : What about my head though ?
KOJIRO : I¹ ll love you regardless of appearance.
Musashi smiled with tears in her eyes.
MUSASHI : Oh Kojiro !
She embraced him.
Sakaki continued to scratch Mew behind the ears.
MEW : Miiiiyuuuu.
SAKAKI : By the way, do any of you know about my secret ?
MUSASHI, KOJIRO, & NYARTH : We¹ ve always known that you were gay.
It¹ s so obvious.
