I don't own Pokemon...
On a beach in Kanto, there lay a giant, looming, rocky ledge with a building made on the side of it. It looked like a scientific base, possibly for the League, were it not for the men patrolling it with guns. On their suits, a big, red R was plastered on, as if they didn't care who knew who they were. The building had a similar red R on it, except it was much more massive. From the very top of the cliff, a man stood there, overlooking the area. He continued to survey the land, as if looking for possible weak points.
The unknown man had a black suit on with a hoodie, and normal jeans. Equipped to his belt were five pokeballs, and other useful tools, such as a taser, a small pistol, smoke bombs, and other small miscellaneous things.
"And you're sure this is the main base, not a lower one? We don't want to put their guard up any more than it already is." He said in a stern voice. When he spoke, he had a dark, gravened tone, as if he had given up on happiness, or been through a tragic pain.
"I'm positive, I lived dere most of my life. And dat man is most certainly there." A higher pitched voice came from the side of the man. It was a cat, one that would normally have an amulet on its head, but was, for some reason, gone. If you could see the cats eyes, you could see a burning flame in them, as if it had never wanted something more than what was before it. The man nodded, before grabbing a X-transceiver from his belt.
"Red here, in position. Blue, Green, Orange, do you copy? He spoke, waiting for a reply.
"Blue here, me and Umbreon have snuck into Rocket Headquarters, and are ready whenever." A males voice spoke from within the X-transceiver.
"Green here, I'm in position for the distraction with Orange." a females voice stated from an unknown location through the transceiver.
"Orange here, I'm ready as well with Green." Another males voice responded from the transceiver, presumably in the same location as the females voice.
"Alright, Operation Rocket, is a go." The man finally said, before putting the device up, and patiently waiting. From the beach, three unknown objects began shooting towards the beach. One was a jet-boat, while the other two appeared to be wheel like objects, one white, the other a flame, that were riding on the water. They came within five feet of the beach, before making a sharp turn, and dashing away from the base, effectively getting most of the men patrolling the area to go after them, with very few staying behind.
"So, it's time?" The cat quizzed towards the man, who nodded, and jumped off of the ledge, towards the building, with the cat following.
When they got to the sand on the beach, they swiftly ran towards the doors of the base, evading any guards that were left over. They hid behind a rock, before viewing the door to see it was guarded by two more men, both holding rifles, but you could see pistols on both of their belts. The man tapped a pokeball on his belt, and a pokemon materialized, but was nowhere to be found when the ball closed back up. One minute later, both guards suddenly fell down, clearly unconscious. The pokeball opened again, and closed, with no trace of the pokemon to be found. The two ran up to the door, grabbed the card of the guards, and slipped it in a card slot in the door, before the door opened, and the two ran inside.
Once inside, the two intruders ran behind a wall, and checked for cameras. Sure enough, there were. The man muttered something, before all the cameras suddenly just went out. Once again, the two began quickly moving throughout the halls.
"You there! Where are your uniforms? Noone is allowed to have the designat-" A guard began to question the man, before he was hit with a shadow ball, and went flying back, knocked out.
"You know, you really should make sure you have a uniform on next time, As-Red." A man with brown spiky hair stated, walking from one of the halls, with an umbreon. He had a guard uniform on, and tossed the man one as well, who nodded, and quickly put it on, before speaking.
"Don't call me what you almost did. That kid is dead." He stated, before running back down the hall with the Cat. The former rolled his eyes, before continuing down the path with him.
Meanwhile, after chasing after the two water vehicles for two miles, the guards that had given chase found the boat and wheel like structure on the beach. They quickly ran up to them to check for supplies or and form of item, before two gigantic vine like structures game up from the ground under and shot them into the air, killing a few.
"... I told you we shouldn't have used Frenzy plant!" A males voice came from behind a couple of rocks a few feet away.
"What?! You're the one that said, 'oh, it won't hurt them! Lets do it to make sure they are knocked out!'" A females voice shot back from behind the same pile of rocks.
"... oh right." The male said, before they just seemed to disappear.
From within the base, the two men and pokemon were surveying a map of the building, looking for two things: Giovanni's room, and the power room. After a short time, both rooms were found. Giovanni's being in the top floor, and the power room being on the current floor.
"I'll get the power generator, you go after Giovanni." Blue stated, knowing that he was Red's target. Red nodded, before running out of the room and down the hall. Blue and Umbreon did the same, but in the opposite direction, down a path of knocked out/ dead Rocket grunts.
Time-skip: Thirty Minutes
Red walked past the unconscious guards, opening a door that led to a man of pure evil intent. He was overlooking a window to a burning beach and building. Assumablly were the generators were.
"I have to say, I'm very impressed. It only took four people, not even adults at that, to get past my most elite soldiers. Really, I am most impressed." The man said, not facing Red. He wore an orange suit and had short brown hair, gelled so much, it almost looked fake.
"... Giovanni." Red said, with ill intent in his voice. His fists clenched up in anger, and his eyes filled with hate. That was all he had for this man. HATE.
Giovanni just chuckled before turning towards Red finally. "But, I'm afraid it wasn't enough. My troops aren't called elite for nothing, you know." Giovanni snapped his fingers, and the lights turned back on, the power restored. He grabbed a remote and touched a button, turning on the Tv, to see Blue, an unknown girl, and an unknown guy with their hands in the air, and different Rocket soldiers pointing guns at them. Red scowled after seeing this, before turning back to Giovanni.
"You know, I almost would not have known who you were, if the girl and spiky haired boy had actually tried to hide their identity." Giovanni said, smirking towards the man facing him. "So tell me, what was the plan? Get revenge on me? Do you really think it will get you anywhere?" Giovanni continued. Red grabbed a pokeball from his belt.
"You will tell them the truth. Everything." Red responded slowly, grabbing the pokeball.
"Now, why would I do that? You're only friends in this world are captured, and you don't have much time before the police arrive." Giovanni stated arrogantly. Red ignored him, before turning towards the Tv, and grinning.
"Might wanna rethink that." Red told Giovanni, who eyed him in confusion, before turning to the Tv, and almost gasped, when he saw the three that had previously been held at gunpoint, were nowhere to be seen, and the troops that had been holding them at gunpoint, were dead, or knocked out. Giovanni turned towards Red, and scowled, before grabbing a pokeball.
"... call out your pokemon. It's time to put you in your place, son." He said as his Persian jumped out from seemingly nowhere. Red simply put his back away, as the Cat walked out from behind him.
Giovanni simply looked at the Cat. "Meowth... so you turned sides, hm? I'm surprised you're alive, after you were... disposed of.." Giovanni said, smirking, causing the Cat to scowl at him, and unsheathed his claws.
"You're gonna pay for what you did to Jessie and James." Meowth said scornfully, causing Giovanni to laugh.
"We'll see. Thunder, Persian!" Giovanni commanded as Persian shot a bolt of electricity toward Meowth.
"Dodge and go in with slash!" Red retaliated as Meowth dodged the electric attack with ease, and then ran in with an extended glowing claw, and slashed its evolved form, making it wail in pain, before retaliating with its own Slash.
"Giga Impact!" Giovanni continued, as Persian began to have a purple/orange swirling aura surround it, before it rushed forward towards Meowth.
"Dodge, and then finish it with Aura sphere!" Red commanded, shocking Giovanni as Mewoth jumped into the air to dodge Persians attack, before shooting off a massive sphere of blue energy, landing right on the Persian, taking it out swiftly.
Giovanni scowled, and went to grab a gun on his desk, before a bullet went through his shoulder, making him grasp it in pain. Before he could do anything else, a sphere of aura came from Red and smashed Giovanni into the wall, breaking a few bones. Giovanni moaned in pain, before Red walked up to him and faced him with a frown with so much hatred, no man could stand to look at it... except Giovanni.
"You. Will. Tell. The. Truth." Red told Giovanni, not intending to give him a choice.
Giovanni smirked at Red, before saying,"Why would I? I'll just be killed for it. And at least if I die this way, I die knowing I've ruined your life." Giovanni began laughing at Red. Outside, Red could see a police helicopter approaching. He was running out of time.
Giovanni continued, "I don't even see why you care? Was it that I made all your friends hate and despise you? Or maybe it was that worthless professor that YOU killed... yes, YOU. At least, they think it was you.. or, maybe- maybe it was that naive little rat, that wanted to protect you until the very end? Heh, I didn't even think it would perish, much less to those you once loved... OR even Maybe, it was that disgusting wife of mine... perhaps your worthless mother is why you care? The one that YOU also killed. The one that cared for you so much, that when I gave her the ultimatum, that piece of trash chose death for yo-" Red had heard enough, he pulled out his pistol, and began to shoot Giovanni in both arms and his legs. He then faced Giovanni with death in his eyes.
"... You just earned a one way ticket to the distortion world." Red said with full meaning in his eyes, before he shot a massive sphere of aura at Giovanni's exploding on impact. When the explosion ended, Red and Meowth faced the lifeless body of Giovanni Ketchum.
At that time, the door burst open, and the cops ran inside, pointing their guns at Red. If he had been facing them, they would have seen tears.
Before they could even mutter freeze, the lights went off quickly, and when they came back on, all that was left in the room was the dead leader of Team Rocket.
Welcome... to Operation Red. This is a story about hurt and darkness like you've never seen. Well, ok, you probably have, but this is MUCH darker than the Ultimate Betrayal series, which will btw I will be updating UCB in a few days, so don't worry. This is my first real attempt at a truly dark story. Not like the Ultimate Betrayal series, where they're now happy, for the most part. This.. oh man this... You'll just have to wait and see. See you guys later
