A/N Yay, another chapter! Thanks as always to the people who take the time to read this story and follow/favorite and whatnot. Anyway, on with the chapter! R&R Please!

Kat's POV

I'm so pumped after my win against Brock. Pikachu and Eevee are excited too. After picking up a map at the pokémon center, I see that the closest town to Pewter is Cerulean City, although I have to pass through Mount Moon to get there. There are warnings about wild pokémon, namely zubat, but Eevee and Pikachu should be able to handle it. Pikachu also helps light up the place so I'm not walking blind as well.

When we enter Mount Moon I'm surprised to see that it isn't as dark as I thought it was going to be. It's a bit dim, but still navigational. I tell my pokémon, "Guys, I don't want to lose you, so stay clo-"

Aaand, Eevee just ran off. Great. I call out, "Come on, Eevee, don't go too far!" She just kind of looks at me, then runs off. Exasperated, I run after her with Pikachu behind me.

It isn't long until Eevee comes running back to us, looking scared. I tell her, "You shouldn't run off like that. You could be hurt." I then hear a low rumbling sound. That's probably not good. A group of graveler roll up, and they look really upset.

I'm about to tell my pokémon to run but there are graveler behind us too. Seriously? How many pokémon did Eevee tick off?

Crack

Uhh, what was that? I see cracks appear on the ground we're standing on. That's not good.

Crack

More cracks spiderweb across the floor. The graveler, apparently oblivious to this, roll towards us and abruptly fall through the floor. Whew! They can't get to us. The other graveler realized this as well, and just rolled away slightly annoyed.

Crrraaccckkk

Are you kidding me?! I think as the floor finally breaks under me and my pokémon.

I land hard on the tunnel beneath us. When the dust settles, I find Eevee and Pikachu nearby, slightly banged up but for the most part okay. I slowly stand up and feel a sharp pain in my ankle, almost falling again. Well crap. I think it's a sprain. Taking a look through my bag I saw that almost everything survived, except the map was missing. Of course. Could today be any worse? First Eevee runs off, then we meet a bunch of wild graveler, and now I can barely walk and am lost in a mountain.

Eevee kind of just blinks and shakes some of the dust out of her fur, then just keeps on walking like nothing happened. I can't catch up to her with my ankle hurt, so I call out, "Eevee, seriously, I don't have time for this. Stay close to me, alrighty?" Thankfully she comes back, and we start slowly heading through the tunnels.

We continue walking for what seems like hours, when Eevee's ears perk up, and then she runs off again. Are you kidding me? Turning to Pikachu, I just sigh, "Come on," and limp after her. Suddenly, Eevee stops, and I can hear voices and see a light a distance.

"Come on, let's just get outta here. We already caught that fearow in Viridian Forest and a rare dratini. What more do you want? The boss has gotta be happy with this."

"Shhh. You'll scare them away. Legend has it that clefairy hang around Mount Moon."

"Don't clefairy like the moon, you idiot? There's no moonlight in here. Come on, let's go."

"Yeah, the moon. Mount Moon."

As if my day couldn't get any worse, I get to stumble into Team Rocket again, the same grunts as last time. I can't let them just hurt more pokémon though. Telling Eevee and Pikachu to be quiet, we slowly make our way towards the light. As we get closer, I hear a pokémon cry out.

"Tiiiinii"

"Shut up you brat. Nobody's going to hear you down here."

That must be the dratini. I can't let them hurt it. We hide behind some rocks, where I can see the two grunts poor dratini in a cage. I whisper to my pokémon, "Okay, here's the plan. Eevee, you lead off with a Sand Attack, and then Pikachu follow up with Thundershock." I see Pikachu flinch. RIght, forgot about his history with Rocket. "How about this. Eevee and I will distract the Rockets while Pikachu breaks the cage with Iron Tail." Slightly reassured, Pikachu nods.

Coming out of my hiding spot, I shout to the grunts, "Hey! Release that dratini!"

They turn in surprise, then start laughing. "You again! Really! You couldn't beat us last time, and you won't beat us now."

This is payback for what you did earlier. "You sure about that? Go, Eevee!"

"Go Ekans!" "Go Koffing!"

Last time I couldn't win. This time I don't have to. "Eevee, use Quick Attack on Ekans!" Training for the Pewter Gym must have paid off since Ekans didn't even get an attack off. In the background I see Pikachu getting ready to break the dratini out. Luckily neither of the grunts notice.

"Grr… Come on Ekans! Use Poison Sting!"

"Sand Attack!" Eevee threw sand in Ekans' eyes, but the Poison Sting still landed. The grunt turned to his partner. "Whattya doing! Attack it!"

"Okay, okay, sheesh! Koffing, Smog!" The poison gas filled the room, making it hard to see. The grunt with the ekans shouted, "You idiot! Now we can't see!"

There was a loud bang behind the grunts. Yes! Pikachu did it! Through the smoke cloud, Pikachu and the dratini made it to me.

The grunt with the Koffing shouted back, "I'm tired of this. Koffing, Self-Destruct!"

"No! Don't do that! You'll hit both of-"

BOOM

Once the dust cloud settled, I could see the figures of Ekans and Koffing, both knocked out. Thinking that we could just leave, I turned around when a bright blue bolt shot past me hitting the wall and coating it with… with ice?

"Oh, you thought that just because you beat us that you could just walk away, is that it? We got some new toys, and I'd hate to see you become popsicles. So just turn around, and nobody gets hurt."

I slowly turn around, and I see Eevee in front of me although Pikachu and Dratini were behind me, deathly afraid. I guess that ice gun is how they got Dratini in the first place.

I whisper to Pikachu, "The only way we're getting out of this one is if you thundershock that gun. Don't be scared. I know you can-"

"Stop whispering! Now hand over the pokéballs and the dratini and you'll get outta here alive."

Behind him his partner asked him, "So, how're we goin to move the dratini now? Dat Pikachu busted the cage."

The lead grunt turns, shouting, "Are you kidding me! Now's not the-"

"Come on Pikachu, now's our chance." Bravely he charges up and fires a Thundershock and hits the gun straight on. Unfortunately, it didn't do much except let off a few sparks.

"Ha! That pathetic rat can't do anything! Might as well put it out of its misery." He aims and fires the gun launching a blue beam straight at Pikachu.

I could almost see the beam moving in slow motion but I couldn't get myself to move. Pikachu just stands there in shock when Eevee pushes him out of the way, taking the hit herself. She is thrown against the wall and doesn't get back up.

"Eevee!" I run over to her, and thankfully she's still alive. I turn and see the grunt with the gun pointed at me now. He smiles evilly and tells me, "You're next, girly." I close my eyes and wait for the inevitable.

"Pi. Ka. CHUUUU!"

I hear the grunt cry out in pain. Opening my eyes, I see that the gun is sparking and smoking. Whatever Pikachu did, it certainly wasn't a thundershock. The grunt looks at it fearfully, then runs and yells at his partner. "Come on, run! That thing's gonna blow!"

I pick up Eevee and tell the others, "Come on! We have to get out of here!"

We barely make it ten feet away when the gun explodes, throwing us across the cave.

Once my ears stopped ringing, I look around. Pikachu and Dratini are here, I'm still holding the unconscious Eevee, and a new wall was made where we were standing five seconds earlier.. I guess that explosion must have caused a cave-in.

Next to me, Dratini started to cry. It must only be a baby. Hugging it, I softly whisper, "Don't worry, we're going to find your family. We'll get out of this mountain and find your family, I promise." I pick him up gently, which isn't easy due to my sprained ankle, and slowly make my way down the tunnel.

After what seems like forever, a bunch of rocks suddenly move in front of us. Oh wait, it's those graveler again, isn't it. My luck can't get any worse, can it? Looking behind us I see that more graveler appeared. Nope, it just did. Well, we're trapped, and probably going to die down here to a bunch of graveler. Lovely.

Suddenly Dratini jumps out of my arms and unleashes a blue flame that knocks the graveler back. What was that? If Dratini is that powerful, then how powerful are his parents? A little shocked, the graveler hesitate for a second before Dratini shoots more dragon-flame, sending them rolling away.

After the graveler rolled away, he lies down, exhausted. I don't blame him, he's only a baby. I pick him up, telling him, "Great job!"

In the distance a faint "Dragu!" is heard. Dratini perks up, going "Tini! Tini!" That must be his parents. Following the noise, we finally see light. Running outside I saw two dragonite were flying around in the distance. Dratini jumps out of my arms, shouting "Dratini! Tini!" and shoots off a blast of dragon-flame into the sky. The two dragonite fly down and start charging attacks, but Dratini immediately jumps in front of me, saying "Tini! Dratini!" The attacks die down as they tear up and hug him. It was nice to see the family reunited. The sun was shining and a spearow was flying around. Even though all of the bad things happened to us in that mountain, this moment made up for it.

Eventually Dratini comes up to me and hugs me for a while. It was really sweet. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and he then goes with his parents who fly off with a farewell, "Dragu!"

As I slowly limp my way over to Cerulean City I hear a voice. "Holy crap are you okay? You look like-"

The voice seems to fade as my vision gets blurry. The last thing I see is someone running towards me when my vision finally goes dark.

So yeah. A sprained ankle, upgraded Rockets, wild graveler, and hours of walking finally took its toll on Kat. I guess just stay tuned to see what happens. AgentLucario Out!
