Disclamer: I don't own Pokemon, the only things I own here are Dr. Leona Morgan, her Persian Fluff and Ash's father Arthur.
He couldn't believe it, true he wished for his team members to be ruthless but still all his members should be able to work together in any situation. Instead it would seem certain members were arguing among them selves and he couldn't allow it to go on any longer, but what to do about it?
He closed his eyes trying to think of a solution, Persian rubbed her head against his leg again and suddenly it came to him. He patted Persian on the head and reached for the phone. He dialled and sat waiting, listening to the ringing phone hoping that she was in the house.
He was just about to give up when the phone at the other end was picked up and a soft feminine voice said " Hello Dr. Leona Morgan speaking, how can help you?"
"Leon' it's me Giovanni."
It felt good to hear her voice again, it had been almost a year since he'd last seen her, the day she'd given him Persian. He could hear the smile in her voice as she said, " `G' this is a surprise, what can I do for you honey?"
He shook his head a little at the pet name and said, "I have a favour to ask of you. How would you like to come and say down here for a couple of weeks?"
"You know I'd love to G but I can't leave the island unguarded some enterprising person might try to steal the pokemon and I can't have that."
Giovanni laughed softly, "That's where the favour comes in, while you're here, I want to dump two of my teams at your house, so the island wouldn't really be unguarded now would it?" He heard a soft sigh on the other end of the phone and he knew he'd almost won, "Who and why?"
"Their names are Jessie, James, Butch and Cassidy, the reason being is all they do is argue with each other and it's getting out of hand, I'm hoping that a couple of weeks stuck on the island with only each other for company will iron out some of their problems."
She laughed softly, "The first two you've told be about before, the other two I don't think you've mentioned. Which reminds me how is Ash doing now?"
He sighed he knew the conversation would turn to this, it still hurt him to think about what had happened to the boy's father, his partner and he knew that it hurt Leona too. "He's doing well, he's in the Orange islands now Arthur would be very proud of him."
"Good for him, it must have been hard to grow up without a father. Have those two worked it out yet?"
He laughed "No and I doubt they ever will if I don't tell them."
"You should tell them you know."
"What and spoil all the fun."
He could almost see her shaking her head as she said, "I still can't believe they stopped really trying to capture that Pikachu all by themselves."
He laughed again, "Yes I know, they panic every time I speak to them, thinking I've found out their little secret."
"Which you have."
"Of course, that's why I'm The Boss." She laughed and said, "OK you win, I'll come down in a couple of days, give me some time to get the place looking respectable again."
"I'd get a lot of food in too, they eat like horses, everytime they stay at headquarters I have to buy tons more food for the cafe."
"I'll make sure I do that and I'll bring Fluff with me, I know she'd like to see her sister again."
He reached down and patted Persian on the head before saying, "I believe Persian would like to see her too."
"Haven't you named her yet, that's not very nice."
"I just couldn't think of anything I guess."
"OK I'll see what I can think of when I get there."
"OK I'll see you in a couple of days then. I love you."
"Love you too G, I'll see you soon."
With that she put the phone down, leaving Giovanni holding his end of the phone with a bemused look on his face. He put the phone down and scratched Persian between the ears again, the large cat pokemon started purring again.
He reached forward, pressing a button on his desk and spoke into the intercom, "Would Teams Sundance and Meowth please report to my office right now and I mean now."
He sat back in his chair to wait. He didn't have to wait long, before he could hear someone knocking on the door. He pushed another button on his desk and the double doors that lead to his office swung inwards revealing the two teams waiting outside. He motioned for them to come in, they did so and soon the five of them were standing to attention in front of his desk. He hit the button again and the doors swung shut again.
He glanced quickly at them, Butch and Cassidy didn't seem worried at all standing there but Jessie and James did he see it in their eyes, his eyes finished last on Meowth who was glaring angrily at Persian. Giovanni sighed softly and said, "It has come to my attention that your two teams seem incapable of working together and I am not impressed."
He glared at Butch and Cassidy making sure they understood how angry he was at them, "It is against Team rules for one team to steal pokemon from another team, do you understand me?"
"Yes Sir." The pair said quickly.
"That I could have overlooked but then you had to go to far and attack another team as well. I am not happy."
"Sorry Sir. It won't happen again Sir." They both said, looking at the floor.
"You're right it won't happen again. You four must learn how to work together. Which is why I'm sending you on a vacation."
"Sir?" All five of them said in shock.
"I'm sending you to the Morgan Institute in the Orange Islands. You will be staying there by yourselves for two weeks and God help you if you'll not capable of at least working together without arguing by the time I send someone to pick you up."
They were all looking at the floor now, worried about what The Boss would do to them if they couldn't work out their differences. Giovanni smiled softly, "You have two days to prepare for your little trip so if I were you I'd go pack."
He then pressed the button on his desk again, opening the doors. He sat back in his chair and motioned that they were dismissed. The four humans and the small cat pokemon hurried out of the office and as soon as they were outside he shut the doors behind them. He reached down and stroked Persian again, he just hoped this would work.
