Chapter 7 Save The Radio Tower
Kamon woke up that morning breathingly heavily like he had been in a great struggle. Yumi woke up and noticed this and asked "Kamon, what happened?" "Well, all through the night I kept struggling over control with this voice in my head. And I'm not crazy I just... I don't wanna talk about it," Kamon answered. Yumi's Pokegear started to vibrate, it was the phone function, She answered and it was Prof. Elm. He told them that the Radio Tower had been taken over by Team Rocket and that they should head over there and save it. The conversation ended there and Kamon said "Well, let's get going." However he was heading towards Blackthorn City. "Hey, you're heading the wrong way. Goldenrod City is this way," Yumi pointed out. "I don't have time to waste saving some radio station," Kamon replied. Yumi turned her radio to all the stations and Team Rocket was playing their theme on all the stations. "Team Rocket's playing their dumb theme on all the stations!" Yumi yelled out. Kamon went back to her and said "All right let's go. Nobody gets away with playing that stupid theme over and over again."
Yumi had her Togetic fly them over to Goldenrod City. They went to the Radio Tower and Kamon tried to climb up to the top. Yumi sent out Togetic in case if he fell. He got about half way to the top window, then some saw what he was doing, opened the window and crushed his fingers. He screamed in pain and let go falling to his doom. Togetic quickly flew up, saved him and brought him down gently. "OK, let's use the front entrance," he said. They entered through the front and thrashed every Rocket grunt and scientist that stood in their way.
They got in the director's office and there he was, safe and completely unarmed. "You came to save," he said. He then ripped of his face which was just a Latex mask. "Is that what you were expecting? We have the real Director locked away beneath the Underground Passage," the Rocket executive. "Then I guess we'll have to battle you for the key," Yumi said. "Don't bother. He's not dumb enough to fall for that," Kamon said and walked up to him. "Which why I'll do this!" Kamon exectued the Vulcan Neck Pinch on the executive. "You must be incredibly to stupid to think-" Yumi then kicked the executive hard in the crotch. Kamon robbed him of the key and said "Now, let's get out here before he stops hurting there."
They wemt into the underground path, turned at after coming down the stairs and used the key on the door they saw. They came down another flight of stairs and before coming across the Rocket grunt guarding the switch Yumi had an idea. "Hey Kamon, how about we battle? Let's see how strong our Pokemon have gotten," she said. "All right," Kamon replied.
They sent out their Pokemon and they cared not who won, only the sake of battling they cared about. When they got to their third Pokemon (Yumi had Typhlosion and Kamon had Feraligatr) the Rocket grunts guarding the switches came up to them and sent out their Rattattas, Koffings, and Muks. "Typhlosion Flame Wheel." "Feraligatr Water Gun." They burned and drenched the grunts and their Pokemon. The grunts passed out and Yumi and Kamon tried many combinations. They finally got it right but ran into a female Rocket grunt. "Well hello there kiddies, you lost your way. Don't worry I'll take care of you," she deceptively said. "I'll handle her," Kamon said.
The female grunt sent out Gloom and Kamon sent out Sneasel. Kamon had Sneasel use Icy Wind which slowed Gloom a bit. Gloom was about to use Stun Spore but Sneasel used Fury swipes on her before she could do so. Sneasel then used Screech and finished off with Fury Swipes. The female Grunt sent out another Gloom but it got whooped by Kamon's Golbat. "My babies! Look what you've done! My babies," the female grunt cried and held her Gloom, one in each in arm. Yumi and Kamon tiptoed past her and went through the door.
They beat the remaining grunts Pokemon and knocked them out. They found the real director and made sure he was for real. He knew what happened and gave them the Card Key for third floor use. They went up the nearby stairs, entered the elevator, got out of the Dept. Store and went back in the Radio Tower. They thrashed any grunts they met and got to the fifth floor. There were two executives next each other controlling the broadcasting. "So you've made it this far," the male executive said. "Now you must face us," the female executive.
They sent out their Pokemon and it was a double battle. It was Arbok and Houndour vs Golbat and Quagsire. Golbat used Confuse Ray on Houndour and it worked. He started attacking Arbok and Quagsire used Slam on her and then Mudslap. Houndour snapped out of confusion but then Golbat used Wing Attack and Quagsire used Water Gun. Then the executives sent out Murkrow and Koffing. Yumi and Kamon called back their Pokemon and sent out Sneasel and Sudowoodo. Sudowoodo used Dynamic Punch on Koffing. It hit and Koffing blew smog all over the place. Noone could see a thing. "Sneasel can you sniff out the enemies?" Kamon asked. 'No.' Murkrow blew a little smog out of the way, headed straight for Sneasel and used Fury Attack. Koffing snapped out of confusion and used Poison Gas. Sneasel looked like he was about to throw up and Kamon called him back. Kamon trusted Yumi with finishing the round and she got an idea. "Sudowoodo, Rock Throw a few times." He did so and after he was done Murkrow and Koffing headed straight for him. When they were just close enough Yumi said "Clap." Murkrow and Koffing were both crushed by the force and fell. "Now Low Kick Murkrow into Koffing," Yumi said. Sudowoodo Low Kicked Murkrow into Koffing as if he was passing a soccer ball to the side, except harder and he made a 60 degree turn while doing so. The executives called back their Pokemon and sent out their final Pokemon Vileplume and Houndoom. Yumi called back Sudowoodo and her and Kamon out Typhlosion and Feraligatr. "You thinking what I'm thinking?" Kamon asked Yumi. "Oh yeah," she answered. They asked their Pokemon the same question and they nodded. Typhlosion grabbed Houndoom and put him in a Full Nelson hold. Feraligatr used Water Gun on him. Vileplume used Absorb on Feraligatr so Typhlosion Embered her. Just when it seemed over Houndour got up, jumped up on Typhlosion and gnawed on him. Kamon and Yumi looked suprised and the male executive said "The first thing they taught us, be prepared for anything. And we took that literally." When Typhlosion tried to get Houndoom off he just gnawed deeper and Typhlosion screamed louder. Feraligatr got ahold of Houndoom and used Slash on him. He let go and Feraligatr used him for a nunchaku show. Vileplume then fainted and Feraligatr bent Houndoom in the shape of L and hit Vileplume out the window like you hit a golf ball out of the park. Yumi yelled "Fore!" Both teams called back their Pokemon.
"No matter, we're still not handing over the Radio Tower," the female executive said. "That's right, and nothing you can do will make us change our minds," the male executive said. "Dude, have you even heard your theme?" Kamon asked. "No, but it must be good. We heard it was written by our best lyricists," the male executive answered. Yumi and Kamon looked at each other and grew evil smiles. They made the executives listen to the Team Rocket theme and they hated it. "That's our theme!?" the female executive yelled. "Oh God it's horrible!" the male executive said. "Ok, we'll evacuate!" the female executive said. "Just please don't make us listen to that again!" the male executive begged. They spread the word and the other Team Rocket members high-tailed it outta there.
The real director came in and told Yumi and Kamon "Well, everything looks to be in order and the members that were missing followed me. Say I never got your names what are they?" "I'm Yumi." "And I'm Kamon." "Well Yumi, Kamon, I thank you for daving the Radio Tower and I'd like to give you this," the director said and handed Yumi a rainbow wing. "That came off a golden bird Pokemon. Musta been the one that's supposed to reside in the Ecruteak tower," the director said. "Do you have the Silver Wing?" Kamon asked. "No, I gave that to a guy in Kanto, and I already gave a blue-haired girl your age the Clear Bell," the director answered. "Thank you," Yumi said. "See ya," Kamon said. "Drop by anytime," the director told them.
When Yumi and Kamon got out of the Radio Tower they noticed it was nightfall. "You know Kamon, I noticed something while we were battling. You actually treated your Pokemon with respect and didn't command them like they were tools," Yumi told Kamon. "Yeah well, you were right as well as the old man in the Sprout Tower. Pokwmon are your friends, not tools," he replied. "Glad to see you shaping up," Yumi said. "Yeah, now let's find somewhere to sleep," Kamon said. They spent the night at Bill's House.
