Chapter 2. Gaining attention

Officer Jenny sighed in boredom, as she sat at her desk in her office. She was currently staring out the window at the raging rain storm outside, bored out of her mind. Viridian City had gone into a sort of safety lock down, with how powerful the storm had become. All civilians had been advised to stay inside during the duration of the storm.

That of course meant that Jenny had to stay inside as well, as the storm had become very dangerous within the last hour. The skies were pitch black, as rain harshly pelted the ground below, making the streets slippery and dangerous to walk on. Jenny hadn't seen any Human life of the streets for the past two hours, as everyone had heeded the warning.

All that Jenny had to occupy herself with was the drab and boring life of paperwork, and she had already finished that. So she was forced to just sit back and relax, which was hard for the Cerulean haired woman to do. Jenny was used to always doing things, so being told that she had to just sit back and relax, didn't sit well with her.

Thunder lit up the sky outside, the sound coming a second later. The lighting was close, that was for sure. Viridian City had set up precautions years ago that made the lighting strikes hit away from the City.

Jenny let out a yawn as she tried to stay awake. "I just wish there was something better to do..." The Officer mumbled as she looked out the window again. This time however she saw something. Out in the rain there was a green haired teen running down the street. In his arms was what looked like a orange haired girl that looked badly wounded. Jenny was on her feet in a second, as she ran out into the storm to confront the young man. She had to make sure they were OK, and that the young teen wasn't the reason that the girl was hurt.

"Halt!" Jenny shouted, standing right in the young man's path. N slid to a stop, only a meter away from the Officer. "What in the world happened here!?" She asked in a commanding tone. N panted heavily, annoyed that he had to put his illusion back up so soon, and without rest as well. He was already worn down, and on his last legs as it were, so he didn't need this right now.

"She... needs assistance... right now... please... ..." N explained in an extremely tired voice, staring the Police Officer down. Jenny took a moment to take in the teen's appearance, noting the ruffled clothes and scratches that he was covered in. He looked like he was moments from passing out, if the look in his eyes was anything to go by.

"Alright, follow me!" Jenny commanded as she ran over to her motorcycle, patting the empty pod connected on the side. N took a moment to think of what she meant by that, before running over to her. "Hop on in! Quickly now!" She ordered, as she turned the vehicle on. N sat down in the pod with the girl on his lap, he looked rather uncomfortable, as if he couldn't fit into the pod. But he clearly could if his body size was anything to go by. But Zoroark was too big for the motorbike add-on, and was forced to have his legs hanging off the side.

Once Jenny was sure that they were seated safely, she hit the gas so to speak, and took off at high speeds. The tires shredded loudly as they sped off towards the Pokemon Center. N had to make sure he didn't fall off the vehicle, as the speed Jenny was driving was a bit dangerous.

"Hang on back there!" Jenny shouted over the roar of the engine. "We are getting close!" N just held onto the girl in his arms carefully, his hat somehow not getting blown away in the wind.

A minute passed before the Pokemon Center came into view. Jenny's motorcycle slid to a stop, as she ushered them inside. "Quickly now! This storm is dangerous to be in!" She warned as she ran into the lobby of the building. "Nurse Joy, we've got a situation here!" Jenny yelled, gaining the attention of the pink haired Nurse that stood behind the counter.

Nurse Joy perked up when she heard the Officer call out to her. "Oh my goodness! What happened?!" She exclaimed in worry when she took in the sight of the two people behind the Officer. Jenny shook her head.

"No time to explain! They need help right away!" Jenny explained.

"Right! Chansey, I need a stretcher!" Joy called urgently as she ran to the back room. Not a moment later two Chansey's came out with a stretcher, followed by Nurse Joy. She ran over to N, and carefully took the wounded girl from him and placed her down on the stretcher. She then ordered the two Chansey's to take her to the back room. She looked back to the green haired man, who was now leaning up against the wall, trying not to collapse out of weariness.

"I assume that you are the one who saved her?" Joy asked, receiving a tired nod in response. "I thank you for that, she looked pretty bad." She said with a tired sigh. "What happened to her?" Joy inquired, giving the young man a look. N rolled his eyes at her pointed question.

"A... Spearow horde..." N said simply, as he hobbled over to a nearby seat. He collapsed into the soft chair, letting out a loud relieved sigh as he did. Joy thought on what he said, and it seemed to line up with the wounds the girl had been covered in. But she wanted to make sure, so she was going to have Jenny prevent him from leaving until the girl could confirm what he said was true.

"Right then, you can use the showers in the back to clean up. There is also a spare room for Pokemon Trainers in the back, for you to use." Nurse Joy informed, pointing to the hallways that led to the specified rooms. "I would like for you to stay here until the girl can confirm your story." She asked, before running to the medical room that said girl was being held in.

N didn't respond to her request, as he was to busy trying to calm his lungs down. But from what Jenny could see, he didn't look like he was in any shape to leave anyway, so she left him be. She would wait until Nurse Joy came back, she needed to talk with her about something.

A few minutes passed since then, and N finally felt like taking Nurse Joy up on her offer. He stood up with a pained grunt, as he walked towards the showers. Zoroark's large red claws clinked loudly with every step he took, getting a confused look from Jenny. She didn't know how or why the green haired teen's shoes were making that noise, as he was wearing wet shoes. But it sounded like some kind of knife or claw clinking on the ground with every step he took.

The wet foot prints he left behind didn't match up with his shoe size as well. The wet spot his feet left behind was much larger then the size of his actual shoes, which made no physical sense. They were also shaped in the shape of a large three toed Pokemon, and not a humans shoe. Officer Jenny looked at the young man with narrowed eyes. She knew that she wasn't seeing things, and something was seriously off with that. She quietly followed after N, making sure to stay a certain distance back.

N was too tired to notice that he was being trailed by the cyan haired officer. He walked down the hallway, struggling to keep his illusion up harder and harder every second that passed. He could tell that the building was basically empty, and Nurse Joy was on the other side of the building. He opened the door that led to the showers, and with a shuddering sigh his illusion dissipated, revealing the large towering form of a bipedal gray furred fox that stood on both legs.

Jenny brought a hand to her mouth to stop the sound of her gasp from escaping. Stood right in front of her was some kind of Pokemon, at least she hoped. It had massive beautiful long red and black spiked hair that cascaded down it's back, that was tied near the end with a big round light blue gem. It's body was covered in a gray fur that was matted down by the water from the storm, with it's chest covered in thick black fur. It's legs were not shaped like a Human's legs, but were like a fox's legs with the way the were shaped. Each foot ended with three very large dangerous red looking claws. The same looking claws were on it's hands as well.

She brought her gaze up to it's face, or what she could see of it at the moment. It was like a fox's, but with red highlights around it's mouth and on the inside fur of it's ears. It's eyes were closed currently, which was probably the only reason she had yet to be found out. She quickly ducked behind the corner when it started to move again.

Zoroark let out a shuddering sigh, as he opened his eyes and entered the shower room, the door shutting behind him. Jenny stood there in shock, her mind trying to contemplate what she just saw. It was definitely a Pokemon, that she could tell. It had to be a new one that had never been seen before, maybe a Legendary even. She couldn't tell what gender it was from the back, but it did look slightly feminine, if the strange hair was anything to go by. But then again she may be completely wrong.

Jenny peaked back around the corner, noticing that it was gone. She started after it again, only to stop when she heard the sound of the showers turning on. ''It's actually using the showers?'' She thought to herself, as she closed in on the door. She pushed it open slowly, so as to not alert it. What she saw was something else, that's for sure.

Zoroark let out a content sigh as the warm water ran down his body. His wild hair refused to lose it's large fluffiness, even when soaked to the bone. In his hands, or claws, was a simple bar of soap that he used to rub his body down. His eyes were closed as he enjoyed the shower, so he didn't see Officer Jenny sneak in.

"... This is what I get for helping a Human... Stupid Spearow, didn't know when to stop... They scratched up my pelt..." Zoroark complained out loud, voicing his annoyances to the world, not that he knew someone would actually hear him. Jenny stared in shock, as it was now confirmed that it could also talk to some degree as well. It was definitely male, if the deepish voice was anything to go off of.

She took the time to look around the room, and noticed a few things sitting on the sink nearby. There was a single Pokeball, a Pokedex, a badge case, and a Pokemon Trainer's Hand Book. ''Why in the world does he have any of this? Why does he have a Pokeball?'' The Officer thought in confusion. The Pokemon was too busy cleaning it's self, so she had some time to think... At least that's what she thought, until she heard the soap bar hit the floor. She spun around at the sound, and was face to face with the unknown Pokemon.

Zoroark stared the woman down, angry that she had been spying on him, and angry that he let his guard down. "What are you doing in here?" He growled, unnerving the Officer. She quickly went for her Pokeball containing her Growlith, but the clawed hand of his stopped her dead in her tracks. "I don't think so." He stated as he stole the Pokeball and held it in his claws, preventing her from taking it back.

Jenny stared in shock as her only Pokemon was ripped from her hands lightning fast, too fast for her to follow. She was defenseless, un-armed in a potently dangerous situation. She looked back up into his beautiful blue eyes, noting the annoyance held within them currently.

"Now then, why are you following me?" Zoroark asked with narrowed eyes. Jenny averted her eyes from his large imposing stature.

"S-Something marked you suspicious in my eyes, and so I f-followed you to find out what..." She explained still looking away, as she couldn't bring herself to look it in the eyes. "I-I've never seen a Pokemon like you before... Are you a L-Legendary?" Zoroark narrowed his eyes at her, trying to think up a way out of this mess. He couldn't really think up a way to safely keep his identity in tact after this... Unless...

Zoroark sighed. "Here's what's going to happen." He stated, gaining her attention. "You are going to leave here, and never speak to anyone about what you saw." He commanded, making sure she was looking him in the eyes. She narrowed her eyes back at him.

"W-What? And why would I do that?" She asked, getting up in it's face suddenly, although that was hard seeing at it was more then a foot and a half taller then her. Zoroark growled in anger, and hoisted her up by the front of her police jacket with his claws, with his other claw poking her in the chest.

"Because Human, I'm not playing around anymore." He growled, emphasizing his point by putting pressure on her chest. She could feel the sharp point of his claw resting against her chest, only barely held back from actually harming her. Jenny gulped, this wasn't a Pokemon that was to be angered if she wanted to keep her life. "Are we clear?" He asked once again, getting a few rapid nods from the woman. "Good." He stated as he dropped her to the floor.

She quickly got back to her feet, and dusted herself off. The Pokemon was just standing there, tapping it's clawed foot on the ground impatiently. She pointed at her Pokeball resting between his claws. He grinned at her silent question.

"Not going to happen. If you be good, then I will drop it off at your office tomorrow. Got it?" He responded with a sly smirk, getting an annoyed growl from the Cerulean haired woman.

"Fine then. But if you don't, then you better prepare to have everyone know about this." She threatened pointedly, getting a nod in response.

"Fair trade, now leave." He stated before returning to his shower, not even bothering to make sure that she was gone. A few moments passed, before he heard her walk out and shut the door. He let out a tired sigh. ''She better stay quiet about this... I don't need some random Trainers coming after me...'' He mentally mumbled, as he finished up in the shower.

He made sure to dry himself off real good, which brought his fur back to it's former shiny glory. His fur sparkled in cleanliness, just the way he liked it. Oh he was going to sleep real good tonight, that's for sure!

He then made his way to where Nurse Joy said the rooms were, making sure that no Humans were around when he walked about with his illusion down. When he finally found the room, he locked the door behind him, and curled up on the bed, already sound asleep...

Zoroark awoke to the sound of someone knocking on his door the next morning. He sat up with a start, hitting his head on the bunk bed above him. "Gah!" He barked, rubbing the sore spot with his left hand. He walked up to the door, and opened it, his N illusion already back up. "What do you need?" He asked, before he even knew who it was. Nurse joy smile at the green haired teen.

"It's morning already, looks like you slept in." Joy stated with a cutely amused look. N simply yawned, already feeling much better after a shower and a good nights rest. "I just wanted to thank you for bringing that girl in, Misty was her name? She most likely wouldn't have survived if it wasn't for you saving her." Joy explained as she started down the hall, N following behind her. "She owes you her life you know, she might want to thank you when she wakes up later." Joy stated with a smile. N nodded in response.

They continued walking for a bit, when suddenly there was an explosion. N tackled Nurse Joy out of the way, as the roof collapsed above them. N landed softly on his back, with the scared pink haired woman in his grasp. She was too scared to even question why it felt like claws were holding onto her, and why N felt all furry.

The Pokemon Center's sirens blared as red lights flashed around the building, signaling an attack on the premises. N carefully stood up with the scared woman in his arms. He carefully placed her behind her desk where she could hide if need be. "T-Thank you for saving me." Joy responded quietly, getting a nod from N as his only response.

N looked though the smoke, searching for the reason behind this attack. He didn't need to look any further, when two figures jumped through the smoke. There was a lavender haired man standing next to a crimson haired woman. Both of them had on white getup's with a large red R on the front. N growled. "Who do you think you are!?" He called out, getting laughs from the two invaders.

"So the twerp wants to know who we are." Stated the crimson haired woman in a haughty voice that just spun N the wrong way. "Shall we enlighten him?" She inquired of her lavender haired cohort. The man smiled as he threw his rose to the wind.

"Yes, lets." He replied with a smirk.

"Prepare for trouble!" The woman called out.

"And make it double!" The man continued.

"To protect the world from devastation!"

"To unite all peoples within our nation!"

"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"

"To extend our reach to the stars above!"

"Jessie!" Exclaimed the crimson haired blue eyed woman.

"James!" Exclaimed the lavender haired green eyed man.

"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"

"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"

N just sat there, his eye brow twitching at the absurdity of the situation he found himself in currently. This was why he stayed away from Human settlements, because dealing with this crap was tiring.

Then suddenly a Meowth appeared from out of the smoke and landed right in between the two Rocket members.

"Meowth, that's right!" He said, finishing the team motto. There was a silence that passed after the whole thing, and N just stood there staring them down. It actually started to unnerve the Rocket members a bit.

"Hey, quit starin'!" The Meowth yelled, pointing one of his stubby paws at N. N merely crossed his arms, still staring them down.

"So you are Team Rocket? Huh, thought that they would've sent more then you two goons to rob a Pokemon Center..." N stated with a bored tone of voice, making the two Rocket members fume. N brought his hand up to his face, brushing away a few green strands of hair.

"How dare you! I'll have you know that we are some of the best in Team Rocket!" Jessie exclaimed proudly, crossing her arms under her chest. N merely yawned at her statement, which had the effect of adding fuel to the fire.

"Is that what they're telling you?" He said in a disbelieving tone, poking at Jessie's ego a bit.

"W-Why you!" She yelled angrily, shaking her fist at him. "James teach this twerp a lesson!" Jessie yelled. The lavender haired man nodded, before reaching for his Pokeball.

"I'll show you! Go, Koffing!" The male Rocket member yelled, and in a flash of light the poisonous purple ball of gas appeared. N just stood there, not reaching for a Pokeball of his own. "Hah! What's wrong? Too afraid to back up those words in a fight? You don't even have a Pokeball!" James taunted with a laugh, before commanding Koffing to attack. "Koffing, use (Sludge Bomb)!"

The Pokemon spit up a poisonous ball of goop, and fired it at N. It exploded into a mist of purple, garnering a victorious laugh from the man. "Hah! Take that! Too scared to move!" When the mist died down, N was still standing there, and no worse for ware. "W-What! Impossible!" N simply dusted himself off.

"Right, then, do you want to try that again?" N taunted with a smirk, making the male Rocket member fume. James looked down to Meowth, nodding to him a silent order. Meowth nodded back, and waited for the right moment to strike. "Koffing! (Smoke Bomb)!" James ordered, the Pokemon quickly following it's master's orders without fail. N prepared for the attack, blocking his face from the poison cloud. The room hallway was too narrow to avoid the attack. N held his breath, so as to not get poisoned by the attack. But he was momentarily blinded, giving Meowth all the time that he needed.

"Meowth now!" James yelled victoriously. The cat scratch Pokemon lunged into the cloud, ready to slice up the green haired teen.

"Take dis'!" Meowth shouted with multiple rapid swipe attacks, only to be back handed by a clawed hand. The cat Pokemon flew back, three large claw marks covering his face. "Yeow! What da' heck!?" Meowth cried in pain as he grabbed his face. Jessie and James looked on in shock, confused as to what Meowth had been attacked by. The smoke clouded dispersed, leaving N coughing lightly, but still standing.

"I've dealt with Team Rocket before, I'm warning you now, back off." N warned, and after surviving that attack Team Rocket was starting to worry. The atmosphere of the situation was tense, and Team Rocket were on edge. This whole thing wasn't going to plan at all.

"Jessie, help!" James yelled at the woman, asking for backup. Jessie nodded and threw out her own Pokeball, revealing a yellow striped purple snake Pokemon.

"Alright Ekans, take this twerp down!" Jessie commanded. "Use (Poison Fang)!" The Pokemon launched it's self at the unmoving Human, intending to take him down. N reached out lightning fast and grabbed the Pokemon by it's neck, preventing it from doing anything. The Ekans's eyes widened in shock when it was stopped so suddenly and effectively.

From the Rocket's perspective it looked like N just stopped Jessie's Pokemon with his hand, which would be impossible to do to an Ekans. But what they didn't see was the fact that N was actually a Zoroark, and his arms and claws were more then enough to stop the Pokemon dead in it's tracks. Ekans tried in vain to wrap it's self around N, but to no avail. The snake Pokemon wiggled around helplessly in the arms of the alpha predator.

Jessie gasped when she realized her plan had somehow completely failed in the time it took for her to think it up.

"Maybe now you will re-think your plan of attacking a Pokemon Center?" N called out, holding on tight to the wriggling snake Pokemon. "Your Pokemon are useless against me in a fight! What else could you manage to do to me?" N taunted, provoking a growl from the talking cat Pokemon. The evil trio felt like he was bluffing, yet the couldn't push away the fear that he might not be.

"J-James, what do we do?" Jessie asked, turning to the only man in their group. James thought for a moment, trying to think up a plan. Meowth growled preparing to rush in and save Ekans.

"You let him go right dis'-!" Meowth shouted as he ran forward, only to have N suddenly throw the snake at him sending the both of them flying down the hallway. Jessie and James both jumped out of the way of the Pokemon that flew past them, the sound of Meowth and Ekans slamming into the wall behind them echoing through their ears.

James stared at his partner in crime, confused and afraid. He didn't know what to do! And he hated that feeling! The lavender haired man looked around frantically, there had to be something that he could do to stop this guy. Then suddenly they all heard the sound of blaring sirens coming closer. "The Police! Ah crud! The twerp's been staling us this whole time!" James shouted in shocked anger, as both he and Jessie jumped back away from the green haired teen.

Both Rocket members were baffled at the outcome of their battle. They had realized too little too late that N was merely stalling for time, awaiting the arrival of the police. He was skilled, that was for sure. "We've been had James! He out tricked us!" Jessie exclaimed, pulling James off to the side suddenly. "I think he might be great rocket material..." Jessie whispered to him, getting a thoughtful nod in return.

"I think you might be onto something Jessie... We'll have to talk about this later!" James replied quietly, getting a nod from Jessie. N frowned at them, as he couldn't quite make out what they were saying from that distance.

"What are you two buffoons going on about now?" He said, gaining their attention once more. Jessie and James both smiled at him, before jumping back to the hole they made in the roof.

"You win this time twerp! But we will be back for you, mark my words!" Jessie exclaimed with a haughty laugh, quickly followed up by James.

"Excuse me?" N responded, kind of lost on the conversation in it's entirety.

"You out tricked just this us once! But not next time!" James said as both he and Jessie climbed back into their hot air balloon, with Meowth quick to follow suite.

"Ekans return!" Jessie yelled, pointing her Pokeball at the snake Pokemon. A beam shot out of the small orb device, and connected with the Pokemon, bringing it back into the ball from afar. James did the same, recovering his Koffing.

"What the-?" He mumbled, looking around, trying to figure out where the Pokemon disappeared to. In his shock his normal voice broke through, yet thankfully there was too much background noise, so he was muffled. "How did they, what?" He was too busy being baffled by what happened just then to really hear what Team Rocket was saying.

"-Rocket blasts off again!" The trio shouted, as their balloon took to the skies. N peered up through the hole in the ceiling, but was blinded by the sun. Team Rocket had made their getaway.

Nurse Joy poked her head up from behind the desk when she heard all the noise calm down. She spotted the damaged roof with the morning sun light peaking through, which shined light down onto the single person standing under it. The one man that single-handedly chased away Team Rocket. Joy stood up and ran over to him to make sure he was OK, and then profusely thank him for saving her Pokemon Center.

Nurse Joy just couldn't believe it, it just sounded ludicrous to even think. One man, one young man had stopped an unexpected robbery from one of Team Rocket's elite teams! It just sounded impossible to her, but it happened right in front of her eyes. When the Police finally showed up, she had to explain how everything went down, and how the green haired teen had saved her from a collapsing roof, then warded off Team Rocket. It sounded very similar to something from a few years ago in the nearby City, where a green haired youth stopped a full scale robbery from Team Rocket...

N was praised by the Police squadron that had shown up, and had received a nice small bundle of money for his heroic efforts. It would later end up going to the local news, and the word about the green haired teen would spread quickly across Viridian City.

When Zoroark realized that his escapades had hit the news, he was quick to grab his stuff and skip town. He didn't need anymore attention brought down upon himself so soon. In fact that was what he was trying to avoid the most, but it seemed like he was a trouble magnet, so to speak... He ended up leaving the Pokemon Center before Misty had the chance to thank him for saving her life, and when she woke up an hour after the attack, N was already long gone...

Officer Jenny was annoyed right now. She had lost her Growlith to that unknown Pokemon yesterday. He said he would give it to her tomorrow morning if she was good. She listened to him, and didn't tell anyone of what she saw. But by the time noon rolled around, he had yet to show up. She knew that she shouldn't have trusted him! She growled lightly, tapping her finger on her desk impatiently.

Then suddenly there was a knock on her office door, alerting her to someone outside. She opened the door to find her Growlith sitting on the ground right outside. It was also holding some kind of note in it's mouth. She took it, as she brought her Growlith into her office. She took a seat again, letting the Pokemon climb onto her lap. She took a look at the note, it read.

"Thank you for not telling anyone..." The note said simply. Jenny had a hard time reading it, seeing as it had been written down by a Pokemon that had three large claws for fingers. Jenny sighed as she read the note, glad that she had at least gotten her beloved Pokemon back safely...

Chapter 2. END
