After they were done checking in they decided to go to an actual restaurant in a while. They got a booth as a beautiful girl in her mid twenties came to take their order.
"What can I do for yawl?" she said in a deep southern accent. Instantly Sebastian and Elli lit up.
"Um I think I'll just take a cheeseburger and a coke." Elli said with a wink.
"I'll take a tuna salad, thanks beautiful." Sebastian said with a large smile. The girl winked at both of them as she looked at Lance and Percival.
"What can I bring for yawl two?" she said sweetly.
"I'll take a teriyaki chicken sub and a cherry dr. pepper." lance said with a smile.
"I'll take a sweet and sour chicken with wild rice with hot green tea." Percival said without looking up from his pokedex.
"Sure thing!" she said as she left.
"Dang she was smoking!" Elliot said as she left.
"She is but she was totally checking me out bra." Sebastian said as he punched Elli in the arm.
"Both of you are thirteen and she's like twenty six. Give it up." Percival said as he closed his pokedex and looked out the window. Lance busted out laughing as he patted Percival on the back. Elli and Sebastian just roll their eyes as they waited for the waitress to return. After a while she came back with all their food and drinks then leaves. They eat and laugh until they see Percival stop eating and talking as he stared out the window in confusion.
"What's wrong?" Elli said with a mouthful of cheeseburger.
"I just saw this pokemon being chased by these guys in black with other pokemon behind a building…" Percival said with a bit of concern.
"Maybe their playing around…" Sebastian said uneasily.
"Anyways lets go check it out…" lance said as he quickly finished his sub and soda and the guys hurried out of the restaurant leaving a whole lot more cash on the table then they where supposed to.
"We got you now, you little runt!" one of the men said as the two backed the pokemon up into a corner.
"You've been troublesome but we'll fix that." The pokemon went to use a bite but the man told his golbat to slam it back with a wing attack. The pokemon fell to the ground and before it could get up the man ordered the golbat to use leech life on it.
"Sandshrew use scratch!" lance said as Sandshrew dropped down and scratched the golbat before it could bite the pokemon. Sandshrew landed in front of the pokemon ready to defend it. Lance stood on the roof of the building flanked by his friends as he looked down at the two guys.
"I really don't like people who gang up on pokemon…" lance said as he took out his pokedex to see what pokemon it was. A Larvitar is born deep under the ground. It must eat its way through the soil above and reach the surface for it to see its parents' faces.
"A Larvitar… humph… I got you little guy…" lance said as he jumped down to face the two guys.
"Just who you think you are?" lance said a bit upset.
"Ha… we are team rocket grunts… and we're going to destroy you!" the guy said as they both pulled down their turtle necks to show an "R" tattooed to their necks. They guy sent out his golbat as the other one sent out a Raticate.
"Let's finish this. Sandshrew use scratch!" Sandshrew jumped at the raticate and scratched mercilessly.
"Raticate! Quick Attack then hyper fang." The grunt said as raticate slammed into Sandshrew at the speed of light then chomped down on him harshly.
"Rapid spin!" lance said as Sandshrew then began to spin at high speeds and continuously slam into raticate.
"Raticate use pursuit!" The grunt said with anger. Raticate disappeared then appeared in front of Sandshrew and slammed into him.
"Come on Sandshrew use swift!" Sandshrew jumped into the air and took a breath in and as it let it out dozens of stars that slammed into raticate.
"It's not over yet! Use swords dance then pursuit!" the grunt said with determination as glowing swords circled around raticate as it danced then raticate used pursuit again making Sandshrew slam into a wall.
"Please Sandshrew! Get up and use roll out!" lance said with passion as Sandshrew slowly got up then curled itself into a ball and rolled at high speeds towards the raticate, when it almost got there it bounced up then slammed into raticate and made him faint. Sandslash was already breathing heavily and was staggering as it stood up.
"I'll finish this bro! Golbat use wing attack!" the other grunt said as golbat's wing turned white from energy as it slammed into Sandshrew.
"Hang on buddy! Use rapid spin!" lance said not wanting his friends to intervene because he had his pride. He already was at a disadvantage with every one of his friends having two pokemon and he only one. He knew that his friends could feel his pride and would only jump in at the absolute dearest of times. Sandshrew spun quickly and launched itself at the golbat multiple times hitting here and there but the golbat mostly swatted him away with wing attack. Finally Sandshrew fell to the ground but was getting up slowly.
"This is our chance! Golbat use leech life!" the grunt said was a grin as golbat went to bite Sandshrew.
"No!" was all lance could say. Then put of nowhere the Larvitar jumped in front of Sandshrew and glowed multiple colors then unleashed a wave of energy sending out a giant sandstorm that blew away golbat and made the grunts and their pokemon slam into the wall unconscious. The Larvitar looked back at lance as Percival was calling the police.
"Thanks for helping out Sandshrew." Lance said with a smile as Sandshrew nodded at Larvitar in recognition. The Larvitar smiled but then collapsed. Lance ran off with his Sandshrew and Larvitar to get them healed up. Percival, Elliot and Sebastian waited for the police to arrive.
"What happened here?" one of the police men asked as the other one put the grunts into the police car.
"They were trying to steal a pokemon that didn't want to be captured and where honestly beating it up…" Sebastian said to the officer.
"Also the have a tattoo of an "R" on their necks." Elliot added and the policeman's eyes widen.
"Thank you for all your help boys." The officer said with a tip of the hat as he drove away.
"Let's get to lance…" Percival said as they left for the pokecenter. When they got to the pokecenter lance was sitting waiting for Sandshrew and Larvitar.
"How are they?" Sebastian asked.
"They are gonna be fine in a while." Lance said scratching his head and sighing.
"What did the police say?" lance asked.
"I told them about the "R" that was tattooed on their necks and the police got scared and left." Elli said with a shrug.
"I think we should talk to the professor about this." Percival said as he pulled out his pokedex. He called the proffesour and they explained everything.
"Hmm... that's not good at all. I'm just glad you all are safe. Team rocket is a group of no good thugs that try to hurt pokemon… I want you four to be careful and have a safe trip." Oak said with a frown.
"We understand proffesour." Sebastian said as they ended the call.
"Team rocket eh? Not that cool of a name." Elliot said with a shrug.
"Excuse me! Your Sandshrew and the Larvitar are ready!" nurse joy said suddenly as she waved lance over. She handed sandshrews pokeball over and Larvitar was sitting on the counter.
"Be safe ok?" lance said as he patted the Larvitar head and began to walk back to his friends. The Larvitar jumped from the counter and landed in front of lance with a defiant look.
"Lar!" it screamed loudly.
"What's wrong?" lance said confused. Larvitar pointed at sandshrews pokeball that was hanging from lances necklace.
"You want to battle?" lances asked as Sandshrew nodded.
"Well… ok…" he said as they left the pokecenter to battle outside. Sebastian, Elliot, and Percival followed suit with anticipation.
"Sandshrew finish it." lance said as he threw out sandshrews pokeball. Larvitar wasted no time into tackling Sandshrew.
"Sandshrew swift!" lance said as Sandshrew jumped over Larvitar and bombarded him with shooting stars. Larvitar winced then jumped to sandshrews level and used bite on his arm and spun him then letting go making Sandshrew crash into the ground.
"Sandshrew! Are you ok?" lance asked as Sandshrew got up a bit slow and was huffing.
"Sandshrew! Show them your strength and use roll out!" lance said as Sandshrew curled itself into a ball and rolled at high speeds toward Larvitar and continuously slammed into him. The Larvitar got fed up and began to glow many colors and used sandstorm to blow away Sandshrew.
"Come on Sandshrew! Use rapid spin!" lance said determined as Sandshrew began to spin rapidly at Larvitar but was much faster as it hit Larvitar in a blink of an eye.
"Whoa! When did you get so fast!" lance asked as Elliot looked it up on his pokedex.
"His ability just got activated! Sand rush, it lets him move faster in a sandstorm!" Elliot screamed over the sandstorm.
"Yes! Now finish it with a swift." Lance said as Sandshrew disappeared then appeared in front of Larvitar and opened his mouth shooting a devastating blast of stars in close range. Larvitar skidded through the ground and couldn't get up.
"Let's go!" lance said as he through a pokeball at Larvitar and it wiggled a bit until it finally stopped.
"Yes! I have a Larvitar!" lance said picking up the pokeball. His friends came over and congratulated him.
"Finally!" Percival said with a smile.
