I know I have five or six other fanfictions and oneshots that are Pokemon or not I should be working right now, but I want to start posting this. If I get this finished, than I'll have a little more time for the others. Everything else will still be slow to be updated due to the fact I'm concentrating on another special project.
If you see any mistakes let me know.

Thank you to everyone who has read this that got it this far.
Lance watched his Pokemon with spar with critical attention. At any second there could be a flaw that would have to be fixed in either how they attacked or defended against an attack. This deep part of the Viridian Forest that few could get to was one of his secret training grounds, as it had a mix of terrains such as this part of the forest having trees closely gathered together. A single word would make his Pokemon stop.
Every few seconds he scanned the forest with his mind, reading the thoughts of the Pokemon to make sure no one unexpected was coming, and to check for unwanted Trainers capturing a Pokemon in the areas of the forest that were protected to keep the Pokemon safe. Unfortunately one of those Pokemon would wander into the commonly traveled spots and sometimes would get captured.
That didn't happen unless the Pokemon had a good reason to be there, such as several years back when a Kanghaskhan had only wanted to get some Pecha Berries for her sick baby and ended up getting attacked by a Trainer with a Charmander. Another Trainer had helped her baby by giving it man-made medicine. Since then she'd been a little more careful when travelling around.
He scanned again and frowned. Several humans were moving towards his position. He recognized the mainly black uniforms as Team Rocket's. His Pokemon stopped and looked over at him. He recalled them, save Aerodactyl. The gray prehistoric pterodactyl-like Pokemon flew the short distance to his side. If it had to it would get him out of there before Team Rocket would have much of a change to do anything.
If that didn't work he had to run for it… The only escape routes were the direction of which they were coming and a small hidden path that lead to the part of the forest that grew the Viridian Forest Flowers. Wonderful. That would be a last resort, as it would be near-impossible for them to defeat them at their low level of experience. When choosing "strong" members, Team Rocket made poor choices.
He waited as they approached, from what he could tell out of the small group of seven only two of the members would actually be able to put up at least somewhat of a fight. One of them had a bag, the contents worrying him slightly as the Pokemon living in the area watching were concerned. Those Pokemon had evaded Trainers long enough to know when a bag contained Pokeballs or not by recognizing the energy signal the capture spheres gave off. The bag didn't have those.
The group was speaking, though too quiet for him to hear clearly from the distance between them and the hiding Pokemon. A Pikachu was near, watching and following warily. Lance sent a telepathic message to it, telling it to follow a little closer and listen. The Pokemon understood and darted between trees and bushes for cover; close enough to hear what the group was saying.
"-trains near here. He'll be useful to the project."
"What if he doesn't listen?"
"It might interest him enough to hear what the boss has to say."
"And if not?"
"We'll have to force him to come with us. We've got air support so can't escape that way."
"Are you even sure he's here?"
"Of course. Our members in Viridian have seen him."
That didn't make sense. He'd woken before dawn while it was still dark out… He didn't even live in Viridian... Well, he'd heard enough. He waited until he saw the group before he began to approach them, Aerodactyl walking behind him.
"If you want to live I suggest you leave."
"Our boss wants to speak with you with something only you would be able to help with." Someone favored with word "with".
"And if I say now?" Aerodactyl could just get him out of there after an Agility and Double Team.
One of the members opened the bag she had, bringing out a blue flower with a delicate appearance. That delicate look was highly deceiving to the misinformed. "You recognize this, don't you?"
"I'm not scared of it." Just keep it at that distance and the wind didn't change direction…
"We know the affects of it. I'm sure you wouldn't want to experience it personally." She played with a small spray bottle in one hand.
All she needed was a fast Pokemon or a Psychic-type…. "Are you going to come willingly or not?"
Aerodactyl shifted next to him warily. "I might." He recalled the Pokemon. Now the Team Rocket member that was moving behind them had no reason to- something hit his shoulder, immediately knocking him out.
Reviews will encourage me to work on this more.
