Chapter 2:
Captured
Lyra slowly opened her eyes, not knowing how long she had been asleep for. What she did realize that she was on a soft patch of grass. She sat up and saw Silver not too far away, also asleep. His arms were folded behind his head. Looking around again, Lyra noticed that they were in Ilex forest, close to the shrine. Lyra moved onto her knees and slowly shook Silver awake. The redhead groggily opened his eyes.
"Finally awake, Quirky?" He asked as he sat upright. Lyra nodded.
"Why are we here?" She asked, slowly getting up.
"While you were asleep I was able to get a little information about where the team rocket group was headed off to. That would be here, in Ilex forest. They are searching for Celebi, apparently this is where she turns up, at that shrine. I let Lugia fly out in front so that we can get some rest before trying to stop them."
"I remember an old lady saying something about the guardian of the forest. She also mentioned the shrine but I can't remember what she said."
Silver nodded in understanding and got up, straightening his clothes out. The two made their way closer to the shrine, staying hidden in the shadows cast by the vast amount of trees. About half an hour later the group of Rocket appeared, a man who looked to be in his forties, if not older, leading the group.
"That's Giovanni, the leader of the entire Team Rocket." Silver whispered, peering out behind a tree.
Lyra nodded and looked back at the group, wondering what they could be planning.
One grunt ran up to the leader and they discussed something that the two couldn't hear.
"Sir, the forest has been secured, we can proceed with the plan."
Giovanni nodded and the Grunt quickly ran back to his place. The man reached and pulled out a master ball, releasing the Pokémon inside. It was a Pokémon Lyra has never seen before, it was the size of human, but it was purple, a long tail connected to its body. It seemed like it could also stand like a human but rather it floated in the air.
Lyra looked over at Silver, seeing how tense he had gotten. His entire body was rigid and his jaw clenched. Worried, Lyra reached over and touched his shoulder. He tensed up a little more but relaxed when he remembered who it was.
"That Pokémon is MewTwo, Giovanni created it."
Lyra was shocked. Create a Pokémon?! Is that even possible?!
"MewTwo, use your power to pull out the forest guardian, Celebi." Giovanni commanded. MewTwo's eyes started to glow an ominous purple colour and a strange aura started radiating from its body. Through the air black and purple sparks seemed to dance. The closer Lyra looked the more she could make out a shadowy shape above the shrine.
She stumbled back a bit when the shadowy figure turned to a light green colour, antennae resting atop the turned tear-drop shaped head. The Pokémon was small and Lyra knew who it was. "Celebi…" She whispered in horror.
"MewTwo… Make sure it can't get away."
The Pokémon's eyes glowed an even darker colour than before. The same dark coloured sparks that danced through the air just a moment before now danced across Celebi, causing it to cry out in pain.
Lyra could feel her heart sink to the pit of her stomach, heart breaking for the small legendary. Without thinking she jumped up and ran out, Silver not quick enough to pull her back.
"MewTwo…" Giovanni said sternly. Before the brunette even had a chance to release one of her Pokémon she was knocked back by some unseen force.
Silver caught the dazed young girl, sinking to his knees while he held her to his chest.
"Well, if it isn't the runaway." Giovanni sneered, walking closer to the pair. "I never thought I'd see my son's face again… Well, not this soon."
S-son?! That's why he knows so much about them. Lyra slowly tried to sit up but Silver squeezed her side, a gesture that told her it's best to stay down.
"Finally decided that you're going to be part of the family organization?"
"Only a lunatic like you would think something like that! I meant it that day I told you that I'd put an end to Team Rocket!" Silver yelled, his body rigid again.
Giovanni tsk'd at his son. "You've always been so hot headed, since you were a small child. You always rushed into things, like this situation. Well, now we'll have to keep you at headquarters and take your Pokémon for our use."
Silver took the chance when Giovanni turned around, thinking, to release Crobat into the dark shade of the trees. He pulled off both his and Lyra's belts which held their Pokémon and slid them over to the trees.
"Crobat, take the belts and follow us from a safe distance. When you find out where we are release them to break us out." He whispered, the Pokémon nodding, being able to hear it's trainer even though it far from him. He quickly scooped up the two belts and flew in a bit deeper where he would not be seen.
Giovanni handed what looked to be a Mater Ball over to one of the executives, Proton. "Proton, capture Celebi with that. MewTwo, do the same to those two as what you did to Celebi, only a little stronger and worse on the redheaded one."
Silver pulled Lyra closer to him and covered her mouth with his hand, not wanting to hear the girl scream. He had to bite the inside of his cheek to refrain from crying out in pain. Soon his vision turned black. "Lyra… Sorry I couldn't… protect you…" He whispered into her ear, losing consciousness a few seconds later. Lyra had shut her eyes to try and shut out the pain, but what hurt more was the tone in which Silver spoke to her. He sounded… defeated and that made her feel bad for putting them in this mess. After a minute she too fell unconscious.
Giovanni shook his head. "Take them to the headquarters and lock them up somewhere that they can't get out! I don't care if they are together or in separate places, I just want them out of my sights. Now, get a move on!" The man commanded and the grunts jumped into action. He returned MewTwo to its ball. "Well, everything is going perfectly." He said to himself, smiling.
Hope you guys enjoyed it!
Things are going to get interesting soon.
