Formerly titled Rocket's Rising, Common Sense is an Alternate Universe fanfic by AeroJester203.In this retelling of the events of the Pokémon anime, Team Rocket operates with the same level of competence as their so-called "top team" status would imply. Starting after their first defeat at the Viridian Pokémon Center, the first smear on their mission record, Jessie, James and Meowth begin pursuing Ash for his Pikachu.Unlike the canon story, he's not going to have it so easy...Now with a Behind the Scenes side-story, found here.A Spanish (Español) translation of Common Sense is found here. | |

Kill Us Both | |
Common Sense (Fanfic) / int_12ee5fe2 | comment |
Kill Us Both: A non-lethal variant. When possessed by a ghost, Ash breaks free long enough to order Pikachu to use Thunderbolt on both of them. Justified since Ash had earlier noted that he was building up a resistance to electricity from all the times he'd been shocked. | |

The Rival | |
Common Sense (Fanfic) / int_1c3d047e | comment |
In the battle against Gary in Chapter 35, Ash's Rattata defeats Gary's first two Pokémon on her own even evolving in the process. This forces Gary to evolve his Growlithe into Arcanine, and even then Raticate still manages to land a few hits before going down. The battle against Charmeleon goes more even, but Charmeleon clearly has the upper hand and injures Arcanine to the point Gary ultimately forfeits to save face. | |

Dare to Be Badass: After crushing Misty and giving her a "The Reason You Suck" Speech, Ash leaves her behind* (She reaches them before they move on) with a letter challenging her to prove him wrong, confiding in Brock later that, if she can't get her act together even after being humiliated, then she's not cut out to be a trainer. Misty, for her part, does elect to start training her Pokémon. | |

Kid Hero: Deconstructed. Ash does everything that he can to stop Team Rocket, but he doesn't always win. He feels these losses harshly, which is why he always trains as hard as he can to fight them. Still, he's only ten. He can't predict every play the nefarious Team Rocket will make. | |

Ash, from his run-ins with Team Rocket, dedicates much more time to training than in the anime, lest the Terrible Trio actually succeed in their endeavors. By the time his most important battles swing around, he manages to win them handily, since he's used to Team Rocket's dirty tactics. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: The Rocket trio, the tournament host and all the spectators of Damian's battle are disgusted with the fact that he abused his Pokémon. Despite knowing Meowth will likely lose his match, James refuses to bet against him because only the lowest of the low would bet against a friend for profit. Mitchell might be a career criminal but he doesn't deal in Pokémon, noting he could never look his Dugtrio in the eyes if he caught Pokémon to sell, or worse, stole them from another trainer. | |

In addition, when robbing a particular factory in Gringey City, James recommends taking two of the particular gun they need as a base for one of their newest gadgets, that way they have a back-up and breathing room to look for a replacement gun if one gets wrecked. | |

Common Sense (Fanfic) / int_379b8809 | comment |
Out of Character: Averted by the author. Team Rocket still retains their good humor most of the time, but get serious whenever there's a mission to do. They even can't resist gloating every once in a while, but do it from much safer positions. If victory isn't already assured, they make sure to be ready to battle, stall or flee. Same with Misty. While she might come across as rather petty and immature, in canon she was only slightly more mature than Ash. Her pride and temper stand out more here due to the fact that Ash matures and becomes more serious and skilled than her at a faster rate. | |

Refuse to Rescue the Disliked | |
Common Sense (Fanfic) / int_39d96ba9 | comment |
Refuse to Rescue the Disliked: When the Tentacool and Tentacruel are attacking Hutber Port, Ash monitors them from the top of a building with binoculars as half of his Pokémon try to hold them off long enough for the citizens to evacuate to higher ground. Afterwards, he narrowly avoids grievous injury at best several times to try talking down the giant Tentacruel. When Nastina is revealed to have survived and opens fire on Tentacruel, after expressing disgust that she hasn't learned when enough is enough, he refuses to lift a finger to save her. Fairly justified considering her refusal to stop construction on top of the reef the Tentacool called home caused the entire disaster. | |

Character Development | |
Common Sense (Fanfic) / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: Team Rocket's constant attacks and legitimate competence have caused a few ripple effects. Ash lets go of his rivalry with Gary, because he's more concerned with Team Rocket. Delia learns about said attacks and asks Professor Oak to resume her training in Pokémon so that she can help. Brock, though hesitantly, begins training his Pokémon after a crushing defeat by Team Rocket nearly results in Pikachu getting captured, had Delia not intervened. Jessie acknowledges (at least to herself) that she has a Hair-Trigger Temper when overhearing Meowth and James' discussion of how she'd never accept that it would probably be best to stop pursuing Pikachu. As of Chapter 25, Misty begins to acknowledge that Ash is a good trainer and realizes that she's hating him for no reason except her own wounded pride. | |

They stole any Pokémon that got recalled with their Vacuum-Pack, along with several that didn't with a metal box that had Artificial Limbs extending from the various cages to grab any unaware Pokémon. They likely would've succeeded in overpowering and stealing all of the Pokémon on board, had the ship not got caught in a storm and put in danger of sinking. | |

From what he said following their rematch, it's possible that Ash was invoking this with Misty. Helped along with a letter essentially challenging her to prove him wrong about her not being worth battling, she does start training after declaring them to be rivals. | |

Exact Eavesdropping: On their way to Gringey City, James and Meowth share a conversation about whether or not it's really worth it to continue chasing after Pikachu and how to possibly convince Jessie. They try to do it without waking her, but that was pretty pointless since she was awake and listening in since the conversation started. Brock and Misty also happen to be discussing that Ash is sick from diving into the ocean when his mother is a few souvenir stalls down. | |

Then again, other than his height, he always makes sure to cover up his feline attributes (charm, whiskers, tail, etc). | |

Combat Pragmatist | |
Common Sense (Fanfic) / int_49fb5ccb | comment |
Combat Pragmatist: Team Rocket as a whole. A few examples: They care little for the "one-on-one" fighting rules of a Pokémon battle, often calling out one each or all at once. James took Pikachu out early on during Team Rocket's first encounter with Ash by having Koffing shoot sludge in his eyes. They are not above fleeing if they already have their prize, like the Moon Stone and the Squirtle Squad. Meowth's "Sand Attack" on Charmander to escape the latter's pin. James will oftentimes throw explosives to aid his side, whether by attacking opponent's directly or throwing them at bystanders to make Ash focus on protecting them instead of pursuing the fleeing criminals. Also, during the battle aboard the St. Anne, all of the rank and file grunts, led by Jessie, James and Meowth, put up a good fight against the Trainers on board. They stole any Pokémon that got recalled with their Vacuum-Pack, along with several that didn't with a metal box that had Artificial Limbs extending from the various cages to grab any unaware Pokémon. They likely would've succeeded in overpowering and stealing all of the Pokémon on board, had the ship not got caught in a storm and put in danger of sinking. Jessie will at times don steel stilettos to fight enemy Pokémon directly. During Meowth's battle with Cortez's Rhydon, he uses Flash to stun them before blowing a hole in a damaged water line with Swift to drench him and then attacking before he could recover to finish him off. | |

In addition, a few Johto Pokémon start appearing earlier than in canon: Mitchell finds a Sneasel in a Poké Ball buried in the park he's working at, and takes it to the Celadon Pokémon Center. Noah in Chapter 36 is revealed to own a Sneasel, Ursaring and Feraligatr. | |

Villain Has a Point | |
Common Sense (Fanfic) / int_723be11b | comment |
Villain Has a Point: Once the leader of the Squirtle Squad encounters Team Rocket again, wanting revenge for them taking his team, Meowth points out that while they did the deed, he was the one that led them into their camp. He's not necessarily wrong. If the Squirtle Squad had fled, laid low and stayed hidden, then Team Rocket likely would've moved on, either to chase Pikachu or arrive at Vermillion City to prepare the St. Anne operation. | |

Adaptational Intelligence | |
Common Sense (Fanfic) / int_72455542 | comment |
Adaptational Intelligence: In addition to being more capable combatants than their canon counterparts, the TR trio is also more cunning, coming up with clever schemes that often result in at least partial victory. This can also be seen with James and the Magikarp Salesman: in canon, he bought the scheme hook-line-and-sinker; here, he sees right through it and manages to force the salesman to sell him the fish at a discount. | |

Common Sense (Fanfic) / int_73733868 | comment |
He also wins on his first try against Lt. Surge simply by ordering Pikachu to analyze Raichu's fighting style while focusing on dodging to see if he can spot any flaws. After finding Raichu to be a Mighty Glacier (compared to Pikachu's Lightning Bruiser style, at least), Pikachu rather quickly overwhelms Surge's Pokémon with speed attacks without taking a single hit. | |

He finishes it off by declaring she's not worth his time and he'd be better off training instead. | |

When Pikachu has backed up electricity, he accidentally lures a Magnemite and doesn't realize the significance behind the action when it asks to share electricity with him. The result is that it pulls out all of his blocked electricity, reducing it to a catatonic state for a few moments before it gets up and Pikachu finds himself with an Abhorrent Admirer. | |

Common Sense (Fanfic) / int_83641c73 | comment |
Logical Weakness: Smoke dazes bees, so Jessie and James managed to defeat and capture a hive of twenty-one Beedrill with just Koffing's Smokescreen and attacks from him and Jessie's newly caught Spearow. Because Heavy Balls are more effective the more a Pokémon weighs, giant Pokémon are far more susceptible to them. As a result, Jessie and James capture a giant Tentacruel after weakening it with an electric trap. Vaporeon can dissolve into water and is basically a sentient body of water. Thus, a move like Surf which controls bodies of water can control a Vaporeon. | |

Against AJ, the trope is downplayed. Ash still loses, but his Pokémon put up a much better fight. And he's much more graceful about the loss (and his previous wins), but considering what he has to deal with, it's to be expected that he'd be less concerned about his win/loss record. | |

Didn't Think This Through: In chapter 4 when Jessie was stalling Ash and friends, Seymour was actually smart enough to realize that it was just a diversion and headed to save the Moon Stone alone... Unfortunately, he wasn't smart enough to realize that he didn't have a plan to get it back without the help of a Trainer and ends up getting tied up. Also, while Jessie, James and Meowth look really cool with doing their The Rest Shall Pass moment, they had forgotten that they needed to flee the listing St. Anne too. They manage the feat with their Pokémon at the last moment, but they probably should've planned their escape better. | |

Not only does she have the standard psychic powers of telepathy, telekinesis, and seeing the future, she also doesn't need to sleep, can create impenetrable barriers, has Healing Hands, and can teleport through both space and time note Chapter 35 explains that Sabrina used to avoid nights by teleporting to the following day. | |

Selective Obliviousness: Misty absolutely refuses to acknowledge that Ash has become stronger than her. Even when faced with direct evidence, she just denies it. She also tends to attribute her loses to the fact she wasn't in a "real water battle", even when facing James' Gyarados. Worse, when Misty finds Ash and Brock training together, she decides Ash has been secretly receiving help from Brock the entire time and ignores Brock pointing out that 1) Ash has always trained in front of them, and 2) Brock is the one getting help from Ash. | |

But, as nice as the accommodations are, the metal walls make it abundantly clear that it's meant to confine them. | |

Team Rocket also gets one where they captured all of the Beedrill in a hive defeating twenty-one of them with just Koffing and Jessie's newly caught Spearow. They're also easily able to blow past Misty and Brock when Ash is sick on Porta Vista. James was able to break their blockade with Gyarados to chase after Pikachu, who'd run to retreat to Ash. Ekans had managed to stall Pikachu long enough for James to catch up and James handily defeated him with his Zap Sapper 2.0 and Gyarados' Dragon Rage. If Ash hadn't seen the electricity being fired and sent his Pokémon with Delia, Team Rocket would've captured Pikachu. | |

Static Stun Gun: Team Rocket's Zap Caps seem to double as these individually. To use them, a tab on the side is slid up to raise the points and then pressed in once the points are touching the target. It discharges all of the electricity it's currently holding into the target. In Chapter 36, Noah manages to snatch one of them, which he gives to Ash. | |

Brains and Brawn: While both Jessie and James usually contribute to planning, this shows in their fighting styles when out of Pokémon. James fights mainly with technology, such as the Zap Sapper, bombs and his rose gadgets. Jessie, on the other hand, will charge the opposition herself and has a strong kick even without her steel heels. | |

Run or Die: While his life isn't at stake, Ash has no hope of defeating Team Rocket in their second battle in Viridian Forest. So, swallowing his pride, he runs away using an injured Pidgeotto's Sand-Attack for cover. Also done by Pikachu, who's in real danger of capture when Team Rocket attacks at Porta Vista. Some point after the battle started, he decided that it was too big a risk to rely on Misty and Brock to protect him against Team Rocket, especially with James' new Gyarados, and ran away to retreat to Ash. | |

Straight for the Commander: While against convention, targeting the human Trainers is usually the smarter move to prevent them from commanding their Pokémon. Although Pokémon trained to a certain level can battle proficiently even without orders. Jessie notes that the Squirtle Squad battles primarily at their leader's direction and has Ekans separate and catch him to use as a hostage. Jessie's Fearow tried using a copied Sleep Powder to knock out Delia, but Pidgeotto guarded her and blew the powder back into Fearow's face, taking her out of the fight. James successfully pulls this off with his pink rose against Damian. | |

Scrub: invoked According to Misty, using a flying type against a water type is cheating. Unless of course, she's the one doing it; then it's strategy. | |

Let's You and Him Fight: Meowth does this early on when looking for a Pokémon to bring back for Jessie. He hears two Pokémon fighting it out and decides to take his time getting there, intending to take on whoever wins the battle while they're weakened. | |

Hope Spot: A subtle one with Seymour. He'd been talking about how The Good Guys Always Win during his captivity until they slapped a piece of tape over his mouth. Even so, he's overjoyed at Ash and co. having arrived with the help of a Clefairy. But James collapses the entrance they used with Wall of Destruction and forces them to retreat from the blast. Seymour is devastated, and it isn't helped by Meowth rubbing it in. | |

Insane Troll Logic: Misty claims Ash "cheated" by using flying Pokémon against her water Pokémon. When they have a rematch weeks later, she uses the exact same strategy against him and insists that it's natural to use any strategy you can. Ash calls her out on her bullshit and declares that she's too petty to be worth battling. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: Delia calls out Brock and Misty for not only leaving Ash alone when he was sick (even if he had medicine and he said he'd be all right, she retorted that he doesn't pay enough attention to his own health), but for their inability to keep him safe from Team Rocket if that day's events were any indication. Despite the fact that they're older than Ash, apparently he's the main one that protects the group from or otherwise foils Team Rocket's plans. She also hates that he's put so much responsibility on himself that he blames himself for getting sick as the reason Team Rocket nearly won. In no uncertain terms, she tells them to shape up, or she'll never forgive them if Ash comes home to her as an Empty Shell. | |

You Are Not Alone: Charmander realizes this in the second BtS chapter after seeing Canon!Charizard. Unfortunately, the chapter is non-canon to the main story. Ash also uses this appeal to get through to Sabrina during their battle. In Chapter 30, Vincent, a student of the Pokémon Tech, tells Ash that he's inspired others to stand up to Team Rocket, and they even uncovered an operation in the Celadon Game Corner. | |

This grows into genuine concern when Ash tries to smile and reassure him that he's looking forward battling him at the League and that it was like "old times". | |

Something about a Rose: James with his ever-present red rose. Taken to even further lengths with his color-coded rose gadgets. The different functions are as follows. Blue rose: the petals light up with blue fire and can be thrown to ignite James' Wall of Destruction technique or any other flammable materials. White rose: releases a glue-like substance from the petals to tangle the target up. The substance also doubles fairly well as a muzzle. Pink rose: spritzes a sleeping gas that can knock out the target in seconds for up to six hours. Also contains enough for multiple uses. Purple rose: extends into a staff for close combat with the flower on top being weighted. | |

Big Damn Heroes: Played straight about as often as it's subverted. While Ash and co. find their way to the Moon Stone with the help of a Clefairy, Team Rocket proves that their presence was irrelevant by forcing them to retreat by collapsing the doorway of the cave they were standing in. Ash succeeds in saving AJ's Sandshrew by having his Pidgeotto and AJ's Beedrill blow holes in Team Rocket's balloon. He even had the foresight to have AJ leave Sandshrew's Poké Ball behind since Team Rocket would be able to send Sandshrew in the confusion if they got it. Bulbasaur pulled one of his own by saving Pikachu after his Power-Strain Blackout. While Team Rocket probably would've caught him given enough time, he only needed to buy a little time since Ash and co. were attracted by the explosion from the earlier overclocked Zap Sapper. Attempted when rescuing the Squirtle Squad. Ash and co. had charged straight into the clearing where Team Rocket had made camp. Unfortunately, they fell into a pitfall trap left by Squirtle himself and were unable to do anything before Team Rocket got away with the help of some rocket booster upgrades to their balloon. Delia also gets one when she takes command of Ash's Pokémon while he's sick. She stops James from taking Pikachu and even manages to incapacitate Gyarados with a sneak attack. | |

Leave Him to Me!: A few examples: Charmander refuses Ash sending in help when he's fighting all of Team Rocket's Pokémon, and resolves to defeat all of them. With a Rage-powered Flamethrower, he wins. In the next chapter, it appears to be a Hold the Line moment at first when Koffing is stopping Squirtle from bursting Team Rocket's balloon, but it turns out to be this when Koffing protest's James sending Mankey in as well. From his resolve to win, Koffing evolves into Weezing. At Vermilion City Gym, Pikachu does this like in canon. The difference being that he succeeds the first time. | |

Locked Out of the Loop: The fact that James and Meowth felt the need to do this to Jessie regarding how they shouldn't go after Pikachu anymore, makes her stop and think before ultimately deciding that while she won't fixate on Pikachu anymore that she'll find another way to get revenge on Ash, someday. | |

Undying Loyalty | |
Common Sense (Fanfic) / int_f16da697 | comment |
Undying Loyalty: Seems to be a trait shared by all Pokémon owned by a Trainer, but particularly noteworthy examples are Ash's Pidgeot and Jessie's Arbok. Also Charmander, before Damian revealed his true feelings. | |

Mercy Kill: The Fearow that tried to kill Ash is revealed to belong to Proton who offers it a painless death after it's crippled in respect for it's long service to Team Rocket. | |

Wake-Up Call Boss | |
Common Sense (Fanfic) / int_f4a0408f | comment |
Wake-Up Call Boss: Ash's battle with Team Rocket in Viridian Forest. They managed to steal an entire Beedrill hive, Ash saved none of them from being transferred by Meowth, who snuck away with the bag of Poke Balls, and all of his and Samurai's Pokémon were defeated except for Pikachu and Metapod while Misty's Pokémon were captured by James (who wasn't even interested in stealing them too), and Team Rocket still had four Pokémon left. After swallowing his pride and running away with an injured Pidgeotto's Sand Attack for cover, Ash began dedicating himself to training his Pokémon. Happens again for Brock when Team Rocket attacks at Porta Vista when Ash is sick. It's a Curb-Stomp Battle against his Pokémon before they move on to Misty's. After the fact, he gets chewed out by Delia for his and Misty's inability to protect Pikachu without relying on Ash. After that, despite the fact that he still doesn't like the idea of making his Pokémon battle, he begins training them for battle. From what he said following their rematch, it's possible that Ash was invoking this with Misty. Helped along with a letter essentially challenging her to prove him wrong about her not being worth battling, she does start training after declaring them to be rivals. Gary, of all people, is hit with this when he challenges Ash to a battle in Chapter 35. | |

Samaritan Syndrome | |
Common Sense (Fanfic) / int_fb8e9cf4 | comment |
Samaritan Syndrome: As bad as Ash's habits are in how much pressure he puts on himself to save those in danger around him, he manages to narrowly avert this: He later realizes that the Pokémon in the cage on the St. Anne were meant to draw him away from the agents escaping over the water, but decided that Pidgeotto and Squirtle wouldn't have been guaranteed to catch them, so that he made the right call. During his Heroic BSoD following the loss of Butterfree's would-be mate, he's brought out of his depression by a baby Seel with its family, realizing that all of the Butterfree he'd saved would be able to have their families in peace. Butterfree is also revealed to be going through similar turmoil, but Ash calmly tells him that he can't afford to fixate on the past and what he could've done differently, and to focus on those that they were able to save. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
Common Sense (Fanfic) / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Cal, Frank's ranch raised Machoke, is a friendly easygoing Pokemon who's good at taking care of fellow Pokémon. He's also ridiculously powerful, boasting that he's been dealing with surly Tauros and Rhyhorn since he was a baby Machop. | |

Artistic License – Economics | |
Common Sense (Fanfic) / int_fd76df83 | comment |
Artistic License – Economics: Discussed by James, who sees right through the Magikarp salesman's pitch after he mentions that a Magikarp lays a thousand eggs a year. If it's such a fast multiplier, basic laws of supply and demand state that its real value is nowhere near what the salesman claims. | |
