So… I have returned from the depths of the void after two years or so to write again! Egads…. Hopefully I can actually finish this one hehe. This little story is about my faaaavorite character (that I made up, of course. If she existed, that would be the uber) Illauna, whom you may have read about if you've been reading my friend Silver dragon 2488's pokemon fics, or a little bit of my own mediocre fics. Anywho, this is the first little bit so please enjoy!

The alarms of the dimly lit complex suddenly started blaring with a deafening ring, red lights flashing on every corner. A fast-moving figure took off down a long corridor, a small bundle in her arms. Men and women in black suits with that trademark red R on their chests chased after the girl, firing their guns in an attempt to stop her. The girl didn't look back, but kept going, even faster now as the heavy metal doors started to close in front of her.

"ILLAUNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"

That was the last she heard as she slid underneath the door, sealing her off from Team Rocket's forces. Panting heavily, she unwrapped the bundle and stared at an unconscious larvitar. It was covered in a mess of scars and poorly healed wounds, bits of its rock-like hide were absent. If she had not arrived by the time she did, the poor thing would be gone.

"Sheesh… they were probably using you for some sort of super-pokemon experiment… like that other one… Anywho, we need to get you out of here."

Illauna found the doorway out and shielded her eyes from the sun, then pulling out her trademark sunglasses from her jacket and slipped them on. She reached into her belt and pulled out a pokeball, then threw it in the air. A flash of red light came from the ball, and out appeared a dragonite.

"Hiryu, we need to get this guy to a pokemon center fast. Do you think you can make it to the nearest town? This little guy is all that's left in there. Team Rocket must have moved the rest of them to another location."

The dragonite nodded and bent down, allowing Illauna to mount his back. The pokemon lunged forward, and after a few steps, was airborne. Fifteen minutes later, the pair made their landing in Lavaridge. Illauna hurried into the pokemon center and rang for Nurse Joy, handing the bundle over to the resident chansey. Nurse Joy walked in and stared at Illauna, then the bundle and sighed.

"Doing your rescue missions again, I see."

"Well, someone's gotta save those pokemon."

"Well, what do we have this time…"

Nurse Joy lifted a corner of the bundle and gasped.

"Oh my! This one's in terrible shape! Chansey, prep the examination table."

The chansey nodded and rushed off, leaving Nurse Joy with the bundle.

"I'm appalled… out of all the pokemon you have brought to me, this one is by far in the worst condition… why would anyone do such a thing?"

Illauna sighed and glanced at the poor larvitar.

"All they want is money and power, and they don't care how they do it."

Nurse Joy nodded her head, "That was a rhetorical question, dear. Now then, I will give you a call when this guy is in stable condition. I will also check the registries for any missing larvitar."

Illauna nodded and watched as Nurse Joy took the pokemon into the back room. She tugged on her black leather jacket and dusted off her blue jeans before heading out the door to a waiting dragonite. A small crowd had gathered to see the dragonite, as they were a rare sight. Illauna pulled out a pokeball and withdrew Hiryu as she made her way to the nearest inn.

Elsewhere…

"I want that little bitch found NOW!"

"But sir, we have no idea where she could have gone, it's impossible to track her."

"No excuses! I want recon and surveillance teams to sweep the four corners of the globe to find her! I also want updated information! Do you understand?!"

"...Yes, sir…"

"Good, now get out of my sight!"

Giovanni glared at the poor admin as he ran out the door. HE sighed and slumped into his chair, his fingers rubbing his temple.

"…That child should not have betrayed me…"

Back at the inn, Illauna checked into her room and dropped her backpack against the wall. She fell on her bed face-first and heaved a heavy sigh. Rescuing pokemon from bad trainers was easy, but actually breaking into one of many Team Rocket bases, disguising herself as a Rocket, starting a kitchen fire for distraction, breaking the code on the holding cells, getting the larvitar and escaping was much more difficult. She rolled over and glanced at the phone, then reached out lazily, picking it up and started to dial.

Miles away, on a large ranch outside of Pallet Town, a phone rang. A woman with short, black hair in a bun picked up the phone.

"Lorunter residence, Mayra speaking."

"Mom? I need you to send me some clothes, please."

"Oh, Illauna! How are you, honey? Is the training life going well for you?"

"Yeah, it's going great. I just rescued a larvitar today."

"Honey, you know your father and I don't like it when you go out doing risky things like that."

"Mom, life is all about taking risks…"

Mayra Lorunter sighed and smiled a bit. Her own daughter was lecturing her.

"Alright, what exactly are you looking for? I know it can't be clothes."

"…I need Alpha Team. Also, I'm sending Hiryu back for some rest."

"Alright, dear, get to a terminal and I will send them right over."

Illauna said goodbye to her mother and wandered downstairs to the waiting transfer terminal. After confirming the address the pokemon were being sent from, she hit a small black button. Six pokeballs soon materialized, one after another. These pokeballs contained the most powerful pokemon team Illauna has ever assembled, hence the name Alpha Team. She placed the pokeballs around her waist and placed the dragonite's ball on the terminal and sent it away. She wandered upstairs again to her room and locked the door behind her.

"Alright guys, we need to find out where Team Rocket took those pokemon."

She took a ball from her belt and threw it up in the air, an alakazam materializing out of it.

"Ally, do your thing. Vesta, Deadlock, take to the skies."

Two more balls revealed a charizard and a scizor. Illauna watched as they escaped through the balcony doors, then took the remaining pokeballs and sent their inhabitants out.

"Segalla, Groz, and Hagen, do whatever it is you guys do best."

Out of the pokeballs appeared a sneasel, a feraligatr, and a mismagius. They nodded and took off in separate directions... though the guests found it odd that a feraligatr was using the door to get out. She sighed and collapsed once again on her bed. The day had been rather tiring, and she soon fell asleep.

And that's it for chapter one! Wee. Hope you guys enjoyed! Seeyas!
