On A Day-by-Day
Basis
Touch and Go is about two girls, both aged
18, who join Team Rocket and more or less revolutionize it. These girls,
Faris Greyweirs and Starr Evans, are paired together, and then paired again
with the Team Rocket members we all know and love (or maybe just know...
or maybe not even that...), Jessie and James. Their first mission is a
complete success, and because of that the four stay together. Now, because
of their success, the Boss has sent them all out on a dangerous and risky
mission, and only Faris knows what it really is—making it all the more
dangerous, since she's to carry it out by herself...
STAGE I: Discovery
[Episodes 1-6]
EPISODE ONE
<< Sou
sa, Eien ni | That's
Right, Eternally >>
We start off with Faris catching her 100th Pokémon,
a Clefairy. Once she accomplishes this, she receives a call from the Boss
informing her that she's got a new partner (Starr). She teleports with
her Kadabra, Batts, back to the Team Rocket base, which is located in the
Viridian City Gym (in TaG, anyway). There, we go to Starr, who has
a brief encounter with Jessie and the others before receiving a call from
the Boss and meeting Faris, who introduces herself as Sami Hill (her Rocket
alias). Thinking "Sami" is a boy, she gets a mild crush on her, and from
hereon in the episode Faris is occasionally referred to as a boy. They
are paired up with Jessie and James, and the four of them head to Topaz
City to raid a Pokémon Convention. Starr and Faris run into Pikachu
at the local mall and take her to lunch, causing some trouble with Ash
and the others. Ash gets Pikachu back, and Jessie and James end up severely
beaten by Faris. After this, Jessie, James, Starr, and Faris all head to
the Pokémon convention, with J&J heading in through the front
and S&F heading in through the back. While J&J distract the crowd,
S&F steal all their Pokémon, except for Ash's, Misty's, and
Brock's. Ash challenges Faris, and she accepts. The battle ends with everyone
finding out Sami is really a girl, and that is where the references to
her being a boy stop. Sami, who is now referred to as Faris, and the others
get away with all the Pokémon, and Ash learns his lesson for challenging
Faris Greyweirs (though he currently only knows her as Sami Hill). There
is one more scene with Team Rocket on the helicopter, which wraps up the
entire episode.
EPISODE TWO
<< Kimi
wa Nanimo Wakarenai | You
Don't Understand Anything >>
This was originally supposed to be two separate episodes,
but both sections were so short they were combined into one episode. The
first part of the episode deals with Starr's attempts to capture Pikachu,
as ordered by the Boss. Jessie's not too thrilled about this when she finds
out and calls Starr a "goody-goody novice" because of it. Starr's not too
happy with that, and decides to set her straight by capturing Pikachu.
She does so temporarily, but then feels guilty when she thinks of the time
Raichu had been stolen for a time, so she gives Pikachu back to Ash. After
this entire escapade, we deal a bit with James' attempts to woo Faris.
^_^;
The second part deals with Faris and James. She
repeatedly turns him down, kicking him down the hall to make her point
clear. However, he keeps trying, and this makes her most impatient with
him. He finally starts to back away when she tells him she simply doesn't
want to fall in love; after that, she heads to Rio's Battle Arena to fight
and cool off her temper. James goes to challenge her, in hopes of getting
a date with her if he wins, but it's a risky fight; if he loses, he can't
bother Faris again. The battle is James' Weezing against Faris' Clefairy,
and Faris makes a quick win. James has lost the bet, but after Faris sees
him crying in the hall over it, she feels sorry for him and apologizes.
She explains why she doesn't want to fall in love, and tries to compensate
by saying she doesn't mind being friends. The episode ends with the Boss
sending the four of them on a new mission, to capture Pokémon on
Cinnabar Island.
EPISODE THREE
<< Yo~sh!
Masara he Let's Go!! | All
Right! Let's Go to Pallet!! >>
An entirely pointless episode, but fun to read because
it's so lighthearted. Ash and the others are searching for Cinnabar, but
end up at Pallet instead. However, since Ash's mom is away on vacation,
they have nowhere to sleep. Faris and the others come to the rescue, as
they're stopping at Pallet before heading to Cinnabar. Faris offers to
take them with them, much to the displeasure of J&J, and they accept.
Faris and Starr visit their friends living in Pallet, which makes for some
VERY humorous scenes. This is probably the shortest chapter yet, but it's
a great read if you're feeling down. ^_^
EPISODE FOUR
<< Saa,
Hayaku Nigeru No Yo | Now,
Quickly Let's Run Away >>
This one's a real roller coaster ride. I won't give
out any big details, but this chapter deals with the love conflict that's
been building up til now—and no, it isn't resolved. (Like something
like that could be resolved in one chapter?) In fact, it's made even more
complicated. Muahaha and all of that. This is a mostly serious episode,
with some lightheartedness at the beginning and kawaiiness at the end.
EPISODE FIVE
<< Tatoe
Futari Hanarebanari ni Natte mo... |
| Even
If the Two of Us Are Ever Torn Apart... >>
Everyone arrives at Cinnabar Island, and we meet Faris'
mother, Martina Greyweirs, for the first time. We also run into an extra
surprise which results in a quite un-traditional Pokémon
duel!
EPISODE SIX
<< ...Watashi
wa Sekai wo Kaeru | ...I
Swear I'll Change the World >>
The results of the duel have left Faris in a moody quiet.
To get her mind off of it, she sets out what she had come to Cinnabar to
do.
Special ONE
{ Dreaming of a Revolution | Kakumei wo Yumemiru }
Faris, Starr, Meowth and Sephiroth pay the Seitokai
one last visit before leaving for the mainland. As promised, Faris plays
the role of the woman-Prince and sweeps the daring young Duelists and one
maouji-sama off their feet. Set within episode 6, and contains an extended
end to said episode.
STAGE II: Renewal
[Episodes 7-12]
EPISODE SEVEN
<< Arayuru Kiseki ni Umare | Born With Every Miracle
>>
Faris, Ash, and the others head to Fuschia, and from
there to Pallet and Viridian. However, the boat they're on is caught in
a violent storm and capsizes. All of them end up at the Seafoam Islands,
where they're separated into groups: Ash and Starr, Jessie and Brock, all
the main Pokémon (Batts, Pikachu, Meowth, Raichu), and James and
Misty. Huh? Wait a minute! No one was forgotten...right?
EPISODE EIGHT
<< Haruka Mukashi no Watashi he | To the Faraway Ancient
Me >>
Dove's role in the story is further expanded, a few
secrets are revealed, and there is a lengthy discussion on what is and
is not "cute".
