Latias and the Spirit Trainer
Chapter 10: Captured!
"Aww, isn't that sweet."
We all whirl around to see a tall man in a tan suit and black dress pants laughing at us, almost in hysterics. I had an impending sense that something was awfully wrong here.
"Why would one person challenge us like this?" I thought. "He must be sure of his skills, unless…"
I never finished the thought. The man snapped his fingers, and about one hundred Team Rocket members came into the garden and surrounded us and the Soul Dew.
"Who are you!" I yelled as I released Latios from his poke ball, ready for whatever came next.
"I," began the man, "Am Giovanni. Leader of the great Team Rocket army."
"What do you want with us?" asked Bianca, now releasing Latias from her poke ball, ready to battle.
"One thing, you," said Giovanni, pointing towards me. "My scouts in the field say that you can communicate with pokemon, is this true, young Cody?"
I was stunned. Not only did he know my name, he knew I could understand pokemon!
"Come with us, and we shall leave your so called 'family' alone," said Giovanni, testing me.
Well, at this point I was furious. First he threatens me, but now he has the nerve to threaten my new family? I thought about attacking him with Latios, but I noticed he was favoring one side with his hand, possibly hiding a gun. I'd be a goner if I even tried to attack.
"Fine, but what about my pokemon?" I asked.
"The pokemon stays. We only want you," said Giovanni.
"Either Latios comes with, or I'm not leaving!" I exclaimed.
"So be it. Men! Capture him!" yelled Giovanni.
Just then, all of them either pulled out a dragon type pokemon, or a ghost type pokemon!
"Gastly team, use shadow ball on Latios and the two Latias!" ordered a commander to his team.
"Dragonaire team, use dragon breath on Latios and the two Latias!" ordered another commander.
"Latios! Whatever happens to me, protect Bianca and Lorenzo!" I shouted. "Giovanni's mine."
I then proceeded to charge at Giovanni, not knowing if I'd die or not, but I was prepared for the worst. Just then, Giovanni reached into his suit, pulled out a gun, and fired. The shot hit me right in the shoulder, sending me to the ground, almost like I was dead.
"Cody!" Bianca screamed out as she seen me fall. "Latias! Protect Cody!"
Latias proceeded to charge towards me to see if I was all right.
I then managed to yell out these last words before I passed out, "No! Protect Bianca!"
I do not remember anything after that.
