At a busy restaurant in the Kalos region, three rather peculiar looking employees assisted with the duties of the restaurant – a Ramen noodle shop.

A girl with super long magenta colored hair that had a curve to it zoomed by the tables as she set the food down on the table for some hungry customers. "There you are! Enjoy your meal!" she said in a very pleasant voice. A Wobbuffet also wearing a wait staff's uniform balanced two trays as best that a Wobbuffet could. The trays tilted a bit, but luckily, Jessie's Wobbuffet was able to keep a good steady balance.

Back in the kitchen area, a guy with blue hair cut to his shoulders and a Meowth that actually stood on two feet stood by a sink. The guy washed the dishes while the Meowth dried them with a towel.

It was no other than the Team Rocket trio – Jessie, James, and Meowth. And oh yes, Wobbuffet.

Jessie, James, and Meowth were never the ones to turn down a job offer to make a little extra cash. Of course, with their machines being destroyed and the trio always buying the latest disguises, Team Rocket was always strapped for cash more often than not.

The dish pile that James and Meowth were working on to wash and dry just kept getting bigger and bigger. They both worked as fast as they could.

James set down his soapy dishcloth and sighed. He could hear Jessie talking all friendly and upbeat to the customers. "Seem like Jessie's having more fun than we are and we're stuck in the back washing and drying dishes."

Meowth hung his head. "Yeah, I think I'd rather be cutting dough." Meowth had an unbelievable talent of using his fury swipes to cut dough into noodles.

James nodded.

Just then, the owner passed by. "Hey, you two! More scrubbing and less talking!"

"Yes, sir!" James and Meowth replied washing and drying the dishes at break neck speed.

Jessie came bustling back through the kitchen doors wiping her forehead. Wobbuffet wobbled in right behind her nearly losing his balance.

"If I have to carry out another tray…" Jessie paused catching her breath.

"Wobbuffet!" The blue psychic type Pokémon agreed with Jessie.

"So, how long do ya think we're gonna be washin' dishes and servin' people?" Meowth asked. He was exhausted. The whole Team Rocket gang was exhausted, but the ever-determined character that Jessie was shook off her exhaustion.

'We're going to keep working just long enough until we have enough money to buy a few decent disguises, some high powered machines, and maybe even have some extra money left over to stuff our faces!"

It was too often that the Team Rocket trio only had a can of fruit to share, or maybe if they were lucky, a cup of Ramen noodles for each of them. If there were a cookie or a slice of bread, they would break it into three equal pieces. Well, sort of equal. They used the majority of their money on perfecting their duties as members of a criminal team that captured and stole Pokémon. Destroyed machines constantly needed replaced. They had to be creative and clever with their disguises. That was the typical life of Jessie, James, and Meowth of Team Rocket.

Jessie continued. "Remember, team! The boss picked us out for a very special mission!"

James and Meowth both gave a confident grin.

"Right!" said Meowth. "And when we successfully complete this mission, we'll be the top field agents and I'll be top cat!" Meowth laughed mischievously as he imagined Team Rocket boss, Giovanni, pushing his Persian off to the side and replacing him with Meowth.

"We'll show them just how good we really are at being bad!" James added. "We'll steal the most valuable Pokémon. We'll catch the most powerful!"

The Team Rocket trio started to sing a tune. "We're going to steal some Pokémon! We're going to shoot to the very top!"

The kitchen door swung open revealing a very annoyed restaurant owner. "Hey, you three, quit joking around and get back to work! There are hungry customers out here!"

Jessie, James, Meowth frantically got back to work. "Right away!"

Under her exhaustion from running back and forth from the kitchen to the tables along with her Wobbuffet, Jessie was as determined as ever. She remembered the surprising message from their boss, Giovanni. It was clear that they were to report to Team Rocket headquarters in Kanto immediately. As a proud Team Rocket member, she knew all three of them were going to do their very best. She would make sure of it! Tomorrow morning, they were flying out to Kanto.
