Walking through the dark woods Blake French grumbled angrily to himself "Stupid pokemon, their so slow". Looking over his shoulder squinting through the inky blackness he glowered at the outline of his pokemon as they lagged behind.
"Speed it up!" He commanded icily as a growlithe panted trying to keep up with his trainer "growlithe" the puppy pokemon barked weakly and tried to move his tired limbs faster to catch up with blake.
Blake rolled his eyes and pulled his vibrating phone out of his pocket, flipping it open he put it to his ear "What?" He demanded his tone irratated.
"French, where are you? you were supposed to be here an hour ago?!" A gruff voice shouted into his ear.
"Don't yell at me Fisher, I'll be there soon" He snapped back into the reciever.
"You better be French..Giovanni is already in a bad mood" Fisher muttered before the line went dead with a loud click.
Blake shut his phone and pocketed it, without so much as a glance at his pokemon he kept walking. The growlithe gave a pleading whine begging his trainer to slow down while his other pokemon trudged forward silently.
He walked for quite awhile but never seemed to come to the base that Team Rocket was currently occupying, frustrated he turned "Hurry up you worthless pokemon!" he shouted as his foot came down on growlithe kicking it in the side.
"Growl!" Growlithe yelped and tumbled forward, bracing his paws he kept himself from slamming face first into the ground but tripped over a rock hidden by the shadows.
"Get up!" He heard his master snarl and another painful blow was aimed at him. struggling to his feet growlithe barely managed to escape blake's fury "Growl! Growlithe!" Growlithe whimpered backing away from him.
Blake looked down at his pokemon with contempt "Why must I work with such weak Pokemon?!" He asked himself putting a hand to his head and shutting his eyes. His phone vibrated again, pulling it from his pocket he flipped it open and punched 'talk' with his thumb.
"LOOK FISHER-" He started to yell into the mouth piece but stopped mid-sentence, the voice that spoke wasn't his obnoxious co-worker.
"Mr.French I thought your directions were to be at the base sharply at Mid-night?" came a cold emotion-less voice that could only belong to one man.
"Giovanni sir..I'm almost there and it's only-" he paused to check the time "Eleven fifty-one" he said sheepishly.
"You'd do well to be here by mid-night Mr.French..or else" the line disconnected with a sharp click.
Blake cursed loudly as he snapped his phone shut, jamming it into his pant's pocket he stormed off yet again utterly furious. His pokemon followed obediantly though a bit reluctantly.
"Why can't you go any faster!? Move it!" Blake hissed as he forecfully urged his lagging team of pokemon forward, the tired bunch gave cries of complaint only fueling Blake's growing rage.
When forcing them grew inaffective he kicked them harshly to motivate them to move, this tatic seemed to work for him so French continued kicking his pokemon through the forest as they walked looking for the base.
Stumbling through some under brush Growlithe and Blake's other pokemon fell into the grass of a large open feild in the center of the forest. Blake followed, stopping behind them he surveyed the area.
There were mostly tall stalks of lush dark green grass, but flowers could be seen peaking through the towering vegitation, the clouds covered the moon at the moment so Blake's vision was limited but he could barely make out a small stream cutting through the far end of the meadow.
The time on his watch read eleven fifty-nine, grinding his teeth together he looked around again hoping to see the entrance to the base but there was only plant life and his pokemon. "Come on you dumb pokemon!" He shouted loudly startling them
"We've got to get to head quarters by mid-night!" He added starting past them, his steps faltered however when there was no sound of rustling grass that indicated they were following him. " Get up and come on!" he snapped.
Suddenly the wind picked up playing an eeire tune on the branches of the surround tree's and pushing the blades of grass backwards, the clouds swirled rapidly across the sky and the meadow lit up. Blake shivered, the tempature seemed to drop to almost freezing in a matter of seconds.
Goosebumps broke out across his arms and the hair on the back of his neck stood on end, stomach twisting into painful knots Blake suddenly got a terrible feeling. He jumped involuntarily as rustling sounds echoed around him.
"Guys?" He called wondering if his pokemon finally decided to get up and follow him, he recieved no answer.
"where are you?" He choked out throat going dry, only more rustlings and was that a hiss he heard?
Reaching into his left pocket he pulled out a flashlight, but his fingers which had grown sweaty fumbled awkwardly with the button delaying obtaining the light he needed.
As the light clicked on shining bright white light on his face sharp pain exploded in his lower right leg, head jerking down he looked at growlithe?
"What are you doing Growlithe?!" he demanded trying to shake the pokemon who's sharp canines were digging into his skin off, the small fire type growled and shook his head visiously throwing off Blake's balance sending him crumpling to the ground.
That's when they began to appear, pokemon pushed themselves one after the other through the grass moving toward him. He tried to escape growlithe's grip but was soon trapped under the claws and jaws of at least 30 different Pokemon.
"G..Get off!" He cried out swinging his still free arm at a linoone who was tearing at his side with it's sharp claws, before his hand could make contact a murkrow dug it's blade like talon's into his arm and forced it to the ground pecking mercilessly at the appendage with it's beak.
Blake looked up as something stepped on his chest, it was growlithe "What are you-" the words stuck in his throat as growlithe lunged forward a bloody moon reflected in it's glazed eyes.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Blake's scream so loud and filled with anguish it was echoed off every tree in the woods, till it faded into hallow silence cast under neath the crimson moon.
