The Dex Holder Chronicles
Book 2:
The Battle For Johto
Chapter 5: Alpha, Beta, Gamma And Delta
After a particularly long journey, the 16 stopped for some food in Cherrygrove city. (Diamonds idea.) The streets were packed with ordinary people, going about their daily business. They had no idea about team Destruction. "We should scout Cherrygrove for team Destruction." Said Silver. "Yes. I know, we will split into four teams." Said Red Blue rolled his eyes. "Great plan. Very original." He said sarcastically. Red looked at him with distaste. "Anyway, Gold, Silver, Crystal and Emerald, you guys can scout Cherrygrove. You can be team Alpha." Gold's face light up as he thought about all the ways he could torture Emerald. However, Emerald looked scared about going with 3 teens older than him. "Me, Blue, Green and Yellow will continue to Bellsprout Tower. We will be called team Beta." Blue looked angry that he had to go with Red, however, Green looked delighted at the fun she could have. "There are three ways into Violet city. To make sure they will be stopped at Violet city, team Alpha will block if route 31 when they have finished here. Team gamma, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum and Grey will block off route 32." Grey didn't show any emotion, as usual. He was a mysterious boy. Not much known about him. "Then team Delta, Ruby, Sapphire, Black and White will secure route 36. Delta, you can also defend the ruins of Alph." Most of the trainers, satisfied with their jobs started splitting up. "Who knew you were leader?" Yellow told Red. Red just smiled back. Red went up to the register and paid for the food. Then he went back with his group and he released Aero, Blue released Charizard, Green released Jigglypuff and Yellow released Kitty. (Her Butterfree.) For the a millionth time, they took to the skies on their flying type pokemon.
Chapter 6: Clues
Team Alpha, (otherwise known as Gold, Silver, Crystal and Emerald) started poking around Cherrygrove. They hadn't found much. Only that Crystal found she had to kick Gold even more. "We should try that hotel. We might find something." Said Emerald. "Emerald is right." Said Crystal. "You never know what we might find." "I know." Said Gold. "We'll find Clues!" he mimicked in Emeralds voice. Emerald ignored Gold and faced Silver. "Do you think I'm stupid?" "Of course not…" Silver said in a most innocent way. Emerald would have asked Crystal, but she was too busy kicking Gold. Crystal walked back from Gold (Who was now all most crying) and said: "I appoint myself leader." She said. Gold was too busy hoping on one foot and grimacing to notice. "And we are going to that hotel right away."
The foursome walked into the hotel. Silver went straight to the front desk. "Do you know anything about team Destruction?" "Pardon?" he replied "Team Destruction. Do you know anything about them?" "No, but I have a person staying here who always wears a plain grey shirt with a badge of an Arceus stomping on the earth." "What number are they?" asked Crystal. "He is in number 16, floor 2." The foursome thanked him and went up the elevator. Ding. The elevator stopped and the dex holders climbed out. They walked until they found number 16. Gold was being unnaturally quiet, probably because he was still sore from Crystal. "Here we go. Number sixteen." Said Crystal. They put their ear to the door. A man was talking on a phone. "Yes, I'm in Cherrygrove ready to execute operation sweep." ….. "Yes, I have some information for you. The dex holders have split into four groups. The plan is working, except a group stayed behind to look for clues in Cherrygrove." The group looked shocked, but kept on listening. … "Yes, I know I am in Cherrygrove!" … "What! Spying on me! I really doubt it! Hang on, I'll go check." The four looked at each other in horror and ran back and hid in the Elevator. "I can't see anybody, I just heard a noise." …. "Okay. Go Cofagrigus! Use Extrasensory!" "Quick!" said Emerald. "Crystal, use Xatee!" (Her Xatu.) Crystal released Xatee. "Xatee, use Confusion so Cofagrigus cannot sense us!" "Come on you stupid pokemon!" came the voice. "Sorry. Cofagrigus is getting very dizzy." ….. "Yes, they have been fooled, they are sending all of the rest to block off Violet city." … "Good, you have completed the distraction. Archie and Maxie have the professors in Blackthorn city, which is now team Destruction territory." … "Mwhaha! You have sighted the kanto dex holders?! Good, capture them, then we will force the dex holders to leave Johto!" …. "Bye!" the man hang up the phone but team Alpha were already on their way to warn team Beta.
Chapter 7: Giovanni
Red, Blue, Green and Yellow silently crept through Bellsprout tower. They had not seen any signs of team Destruction. Suddenly, they saw a man stooped over a small object. "Who is it?" asked Yellow. "I remember!" said Red. "Giovanni!" Giovanni span around as soon as he heard his name. "Ah, Red. I see you have brought a few friends with you. Very, you." Red's face tightened. "Go Venosaur! Use Vine Whip!" a strong attack of vines tied Giovanni up so he could not escape. "Ah, yes. Safety precautions, after all I am the vice leader of team Destruction." "Who is the leader?" asked Blue. "I cannot confirm. But what I can confirm is that you are about to be captured." "How?" asked Yellow. "Well, knowing I am the distraction, I knew you would come here." Green's face twisted "Distraction?" "Yes. I have outsmarted you. Right now, our grunts will have taken over every city and town in Johto. The professors have been kidnapped and are now in Blackthorn city. Give up or they die." The foursome looked shocked. "Too awestruck to speak? Thought so. Now, Dugtrio, use Earthquake! Dugtrio popped out of the ground and cut the vine as the earth beneath Venosaur crumbled and Venosaur got trapped. "Okay, go Poliwrath! Use Hydro Pump!" "MEGA QUAKE!" replied Giovanni. An army of ground type pokemon came out from the ground and Red, Blue, Green and Yellow fell in and started to suffocate. "Giovanni!" said Red. "How did you do that?!" Giovanni smiled evilly and said: "As soon as I saw you, I put my pokeballs at my feet. When you let Venosaur go, I sent Dugtrio to get under Venosaur. When I was ready, I told Dugtrio to attack. That was the signal for all my other pokemon to go underground, ready to attack. When you released Poliwrath, I told my pokemon to combine Earthquakes to make the ultra-ground move, Mega Quake. Then you fell in the ground, and you know the rest. MWHAHAHAH!"
"Help!" said Yellow "Giovanni!" said Red. "You will pay!" Giovanni just smiled back and picked up his phone. "I have captured the Kanto dex holders." …. "Yes, tell our leader to tell the public about the ransom." … "Good, I will see you at Blackthorn." ….. "Dispose of the dex holders from Kanto? I'd love to!" Giovanni hang up on his phone and looked down at the dex holders. "Rhyperior, cover them up." Giovanni's Rhyperior shot dirt onto the crevice and Red, Blue, Green and Yellow were buried.
Gold, Silver, Crystal and Emerald ran into Bellsprout tower. "Red!" shouted Gold. "Blue!" shouted Silver. "Green!" shouted Crystal. "Yellow!" shouted Emerald. They all heard a muffled sound and ran to where they heard it "mffnder Mffer!" came the muffled voice. "They have been Buried!" shouted Silver. 'Quickly, Sudobo, (Gold's Sudowoodu) use dig!" a flurry of dirt landed in the Johto dex holders and Emerald face. They saw Red, Blue, Green and Yellow all unconscious, lying in the dirt. Just then, they heard a voice on a loudspeaker. "I see you have rescued your friends, but are they alive?" Gold looked around for a speaker and turned to Silver who was pointing to it, smiling at Gold. "Weaville, smash that Speaker." Said Silver as he released Weaville and Weaville clawed down the speaker. Emerald was busy trying to wake Red, Blue, Green and Yellow. "They're not waking." Said Emerald. Crystal, Gold and Silver tried to wake them, but no luck. "We will have to take them to the Violet city hospital, if they don't get medical attention they will die." Said Emerald. "You dummy. The whole of the Johto region is team Destruction territory. There is no escape."
Chapter 8: Escape
"Catch them!" shouted one of team Destruction's grunts. Ruby, Sapphire, Black, White, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum and Grey were all running through Violet city trying to lose some of team Destructions grunts. "Faster!" said Grey. He released an Unfenzant and took to the skies. All the others followed him into the sky. They could see Bellsprout tower beneath them. They flew down to the ground and ran in.
After a bit of running, they found Gold, Silver, Crystal and Emerald sitting on the ground looking at Red, Blue, Green and Yellow. "You guys, get up! We're getting out of here!" said Grey. Gold, Silver, Crystal and Emerald looked up. They saw their friends. "It's no use. We are surrounded." "Wait!" shouted Pearl. "I have an idea! Green owns a Ditto, doesn't she?" "Yes!" shouted Gold. He pulled one of Green's pokeballs and released Ditto. "Ditto, go out and pretend to be one of our pokemon!" Ditto transformed into Blasty and ran out the door.
Ruby and Sapphire looked out the window and saw all of the Grunts chasing "Blasty." After lots of manoeuvres and tricks and changing into different pokemon, at one point Ditto accidently transformed into Zekrom, but it quickly changed back, they waited until Ditto had tricked the grunts well enough and found its way back to the dex holders. They returned Ditto in Green's pokeball and released their pokemon that could fly. They moved out of Bellsprout tower, and flew all the way back to Kanto.
Meanwhile:
"You stupid stubborn professors!" shouted Cyrus. "Tell us where the Destruction chain is!" "No. we will never tell you." Said Professor Elm. "The secret will die with us!" "So be it." Said Cyrus angrily. "Lt. Surge, shoot them." Lt. Surge primed an Electrode-Voltorb shooter to Destruction mode and aimed it at the group of professors.
"Fire."
