No matter how many times they tried, Team Rocket's schemes never seemed to work. World domination was always one Pokemon Master away, and Pikachu was always right out of their grasp. It would almost seem that there was a force against them - evil could only go so far before the forces of good put it down, and peace reigned once again.
Dismayed and angry, Team Rocket once again came up with a new scheme: to rule Shoddy Battle once and for all! Under the alias "Rocket Returns," and with the combined forces of Jesse, James, and Giovanni, I set out to help them achieve their dream. Weak challengers fell before our might, and after taunting the main chat, a stronger foe, TTS, arose to the challenge. Could Team Rocket finally have a breakthrough?
This is their story.
