"You again." I grunted, my hands beginning to form fists.
"Quite an interesting place you have here. I don't suppose you mind... If I take it." That familiar voice. That familiar voice that made me want to puke. It made me angry. Sad. Depressed. Furious. Enraged. "Remember me? Of course you do. Your ugly mug of a face shows it all. Then again, I underestimated you when we fought last. Say hello to the new and improved James!"
(You remember him, right reader? Sarah's Dad? The poacher, and the one that Mark thought he killed. Yeah, plot twist, he's not dead, he's the leader of a wide network of poachers that work under Team Rocket, and he's back for revenge.)
"Thought I was dead, did you? I'm the leader of a wide network of poachers that work under Team Rocket, and I'm here to wreak havoc on you and your friends as revenge."
(That's what I just said.)
"Uhm... Let me eat first." I replied nonchalantly, walking back inside and closing the door behind me. I walked into the living room and ate as much as I could, as fast as I could.
"OH NO YOU DON'T!" He yelled. A click was heard, like someone cocking a gun, but 10 times louder, before the door was blasted off its hinges." When the dust cleared, the outline of a man holding... something large, could be seen, before another click was heard. Something fast zipped straight towards us, nearly slicing my ear off. "We're fighting with Pokemon this time... You lose, and you die. You win, and you get shot. Deal?" He smiled sadistically towards the three of us.
"On one condition. It must be a one-on-one fight. Anything else and I'll just punch everyone here hard enough that you won't remember your name for 3 years." Tiff tugged on my arm, looking at me with a scared look.
"But... I don't know how to fight..." She whispered, before hopping up into my arms.
"Don't worry. I always have a plan." I grinned, winking at her.
"One-on-one it is. Blaziken! Come out you bitch!" James roared, before tossing a pokeball at us. A large, muscular looking Blaziken appeared, glanced at Tiffany and I, and started to laugh in a way only possible by bird Pokemon.
"What, this puny punk and his tiny pet are going to defeat me? Not in a million years!" The Blaziken chuckled, turning to his owner as if to ask, "Am I really going to fight them?"
Tiffany squirmed in my arms. She looked pissed.
"Let me- Mmph- Fight him!" She shouted, still trying to wriggle free of my grip. When her actions were futile, she even attempted to bite me to get to the Blaziken.
"Just wait a bit! We'll get to fight him, just wait for a moment! OW! Watch where you're putting your mouth!" I dropped Tiff, bleeding a bit from my wrist. I watched as she took of sprinting towards the flaming chicken. Without a second thought, I yelled, "Tiff, Extreme Speed!"
Wait, did she even know that move? No! Of course she didn't! She's a Riolu for Mew's sake!
"Such a child. Don't you know that they learn that move after they learn that move only after they evolve?" James laughed. "Burn her to a crisp!" He yelled, pointing at... Nothing?
"What the- Where the hell did she go?" He shouted, spinning like a madman to find Tiffany. Moments later, she reappeared behind the Blaziken, kicking him in the back of the spine, causing a loud crack to ring out through the air. Seconds later, she sped off out of sight yet again, reappearing next to me in a split second with a smug look on her face. The Blaziken looked ticked off, glaring at both of us before shooting a stream of flames towards us. I instinctively raised my arm, realized that I would be burnt, but the flames were absorbed by the exoskeleton anyway.
I had to do something fast, before the flames reached Tiff.
"Aura Sphere!" I shouted, then realized I did the same mistake twice in a row. And yet, somehow, Tiffany managed to create a large, glowing blue white ball, larger than herself, and launched it towards James and his Blaziken, along with the rest of his posse. Most of them scrambled out of the way, while the Aura Sphere slammed into the ground at their feet, causing a huge explosion and the sound of screaming. When the dust cleared, what remained was... nothing. No trace of any of them. Seems like they were launched from the impact and flew to Arceus knows where.
Catherine and I stared in astonishment.
"Remind me not to get on your bad side, ever again." I said, breaking the silence. I looked over towards Tiff, who looked at me and grinned.
"Did I do good?" She asked, tail wagging while Catherine typed furiously on the tablet again.
"You did really good!" I smiled.
"Did I do really really good?" She asked again.
"You did really, really, really good! I'm proud of you!" I laughed, picking her up and tickling her a bit. She screamed, and struggled to get out of my grip while I continued to tickle her. Nipping on my thumb, I dropped her quickly, then watched as she gleefully sped away into the house, giggling like a madman. Grinning to myself, I took off after her, laughing as I tried to find her.
...
"So It's true... She really is the Alpha Reborn..." I murmured, staring at the screen. I had to know more. More about her, about her abilities, and... Him. "Why did the Alpha show up now, of all times? If it is what I think it is..." I thought, furiously struggling to find an answer in my brain. "If it is what I think it is... Those two have a lot to expect for the future..." Standing up, and holding the tablet loosely in my hand, I turned and walked back inside the house, shutting the door behind me and slipping out of my white lab coat.
...
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter... I was getting writers block, and running out of ideas. I promise to make next chapter longer though.
You just have to wait 'till next time!
