“How could they get away so quickly?” asked Ash, frustrated and worried.

 

“I don’t know! They probably got away while we were busy talking to Merlin and Gaius,” said the Doctor rubbing his stomach, where Pikachu’s tail had poked him.

 

“Dawn was right! We shouldn’t have let them join us,” muttered Amy furiously, glaring at the Doctor.

 

“How was I to know that Team Rocket would do that?” demanded the Doctor, annoyed. “Besides, I couldn’t have gone back anyway. The Daleks would’ve caught us!”

 

“Enough!” yelled Brock. “We don’t have time to argue. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but we need to rescue Team Rocket. NOW!”

 

Meanwhile…

 

Team Rocket sneaked into a lavish bedroom, moving straight towards the large, intricately carved wardrobe set against a wall. James and Jessie grabbed one door each, and pulled it open. The gasped as they saw the beautiful, colourful dresses that hung there. But that wasn’t all. When Meowth climbed into the wardrobe, he found a small, locked box.

 

“Well, well, well,” said James, gleefully. “What do we have here?”

 

“Looking at some of these dresses, I think we might have found the Queen’s room,” said Jessie, her eyes shining with excitement.

 

“And this,” said Meowth, looking at the box thoughtfully, “is probably her jewellery.”

 

“Imagine all the diamonds that must be inside! I wouldn’t be surprised if there were rubies too,” whispered James, ecstatically.

 

“Although, we mustn’t be greedy and mind too much if it’s just gold and silver,” said Jessie.

 

“Let’s find out,” said Meowth. He extended a claw and inserted it into the keyhole of the box. He quickly and expertly picked the lock, and then lifted the lid.

 

Team Rocket peered inside the box eagerly. They gaped.

 

Contrary to their expectations, they didn’t find diamonds or rubies or even gold or silver. The box contained several folded pieces of paper, with a dried rose on top.

 

James pulled out a piece of paper and read it out to his friends.

 

Dear Gwen,

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Your eyes look like the sun

But brown.

Yours lovingly,

Arthur

 

“That poetry is even worse than ours!” exclaimed Jessie.

 

They flicked through all of the letters, horrified. Every single one contained bad poetry. One exceptionally disastrous attempt compared the poor woman’s voice to that of a dying duck!

 

“Poetry this bad should be illegal!” yelled Meowth, covering his eyes in horror.

 

“No wonder this was hidden at the back of the wardrobe,” agreed James.

 

Suddenly, the door opened and a beautiful, dark-haired woman entered the room. She froze in the doorway at the sight of the intruders.

 

“Who are you and what are you doing with my letters?” she demanded.

 

But Team Rocket had no chance to reply as a horde of screaming people entered the room. It was the Doctor and his companions, with Ash, Dawn, Piplup and Brock, followed by Merlin and Gaius.

 

“The Daleks are here!”

 

“And they’ve got Pikachu and the King!”

Sorry for the long wait! But chapter 7 is finally here. As usual, next chapter will be submitted by :iconitaly-kat:. Enjoy!
