With out yall i might have not went this far, ok maybe. No not really. BUT THANK YOU! Ok heres chapter ten, the gang follows Houndoom! Disclaimer: I do no own pokemon or Xiao. I wished i did though.

"Are you telling me you don't know whose Team Rocket is?" Houndoom growled, glaring at Rena. Rena gulpped and nodded.

"Look! A Ponyta!" A human said, footsteps were coming closer and going away, you could never really tell.

"How can you be so dense!" Houndoom yelled, he quickly looked around and sighed.

"I'll explain later, for now, we got to get out of here! Or we'll end up like the rest of them!" Houndoom turned his back to the gang and started to walk, but before he could go off into s full sprint Waldo interrupted him.

"Are these the same people who burnt down the forest?" Waldo had a serious face on, eyes on the Houndoom. Houndoom took a breath, and kept on walking.

"We should get going." He simply said, Bubble took a step forward.

"You never answered our question!" Xiao said, who was on Bubble's head.

"I'll answer your questions when we get to safety!" Houndoom snapped, sprinting away. Bubble went after him, Rena followed close behind.

"Wait for me!" Waldo called, running after them, or crawling after them.

They did some twist and turns in some of the alley's ways, but when they reached the road again, Houndoom slowed down.

Bubble and Rena stopped behinf him, but Waldo ran into Bubble, who ran into Houndoom, who ran into the road.

Houndoom froze, looking all around before taking a breath of relief. He waved the others to come on with his head.

"We gotta hurry, before they see us! The safe spot isn't far away from here." Rena could feel Doug slipping off her back.

"Bubble, a little help here please?" Bubble nodded and lifted Doug into a better spot on Rena's back.

"There! A Houndoom!" Somebody screamed.

"Shit! Now or never, run!" Houndoom ran into a alley, Bubble franticly chased after him, Xiao making that pyshic shield again.

"That was the power source we felt!" A female said, there were two humans. One male and one female.

"Rena! What are we goning to do? Were not as fast as them plus you have Doug on your back." Waldo said, fear creeping into his eyes.

"I-I-I-I don't know! Why do I have to make the descions!" Rena started pacing. They would surly get discovered if they stayed and if they moved they would surely get caught!

Rena had no idea what to do, and she was scared. She really wished Doug was awake.

"Because your the leader! You led us threw the forest, you led us into Pewter city! You led us to trust that damn Houndoom!" Waldo said, shaking her as best as he could.

Thats when something hit her, she was the leader, and she had to do something noble, right? She gulpped, looking into Waldo's eyes.

"Take Doug, and go! I'll take care of the fools." Waldo looked at her in surprise.

"What! Are you crazy! Did something hit your head to make you go Zubatty?" She sallowed, and shook her head.

"It's my duty as leader to protect the pack, right?" Rena asked, Waldo bit his lip.

"Sort of, but that doesn't mean getting yourself killed! Besides, who thinks i'll make it! I'm the slowest on and carrying Doug would only make me slower!"

He had a point, but, in Rena's mind, she had a better point.

"You'll go off and i'll distract them. It can't be that hard, now go!" Rena was handing Waldo Doug with out him being prepared.

"Rena, before I go . . ." He leaned towards her, being the same height he couldn't really lean in, but towards worked just as find. And when he did he gave a slight little peck on her cheek.

"Be careful." Waldo said, looking completely serious yet goofy, cause of his glasses, at the same time. Rena couldn't utter a word, her cheeks were blushing up a storm. All she could do was nod.

Waldo went out into the road and the Rocket Members noticed him right away. Actually if they stayed a second longer both of them would have been discovered and the plan would had fail.

Both of the Rockets jumped back. Then the girl laughed.

"It just a pathetic bug pokemon." She snorted. Waldo tried to cross as fast as he could, but Doug was just so heavy.

"And looks what he has on his back, mate." The male said, you could hear footsteps coming towards Waldo.

Now or Never Rena.

Rena jumped into the space between Waldo and the Rocket.

Both of them laughed.

"Would you look at that? The little rat is trying to protect the bug!" The male said, all Rena could do was bear her teeth.

"Well I don't have a Rattata unlike you mister, and I want to catch it! You go after the bug and I'll go after the rat." The female Rocket said, grabing some weird ball out of her belt. The male did the same.

"GO JIGGLYPUFF!" The female yelled, throwing the ball into the air.

"YOU TOO GRIMER!" The male did the same thing.

Two Pokemon poofed right in front of Rena's eyes. Which startled her, and made her jump back a little.

One Pokemon was a Pink ball with bangs. But instead of a happy look it should had, it was replace with a mean nasty look that made you skin crawl, also the Jigglypuff had a scar across his right eye.

The other Pokemon was a purple glob of goo. Rena couldn't tell where the pokemon started and where it ended. Waldo was almost in safety, just a few more minutes!

Rena tackled the scarred Jigglypuff, or at least tried too. Jigglypuff moved out of the way kicking Rena in the jaw.

Ok, that didn't work. Her eyes went to Grimer, then she charged at it.

"The worm is getting away!" The male Rocket complained, but the female hushed him.

"Its just one puny pokemon, the other rockets should surely find it. But I will get that Rattata!"

Rena sunk her teeth into Grimer, only to have them sink in and causing no effect. And worst of all, her teeth were stuck.

"Poison jab that Rat outta you!" The Male comanded, Grimers hand glowed, hitting Rena in the face. The only upside to it was that her teeth were free. A down side was that she was growing weak by the moment.

"Why are you guys doing this?" Rena asked the two Pokemon, almost despreate.

"They are our master." The Grimer said, almost zombie like.

"Don't mind my partner, he's not the brightest pigey on the tree." The Jigglypuff said, and Rena knew for sure both of them were males.

"Who said I was a P-P-pigey? I am a purple Grimer." The Grimer talked really slow, as if he had some sort of problems.

"I am Jinx, and thats Goo. My Master, Gilla, would like you on our team. You can either come willingly, or with force!" The Jigglypuff said, with that look of his all cold and dangerous.

"I'll never join! You burnt down my home! You bastards!" Rena bared her teeth at both of team.

"You must be talkin about the higher t-t-t-team. Were not stron-nge enough." Goo said, slowly swaying.

"What are you doing! Attack the Rat! Jinx use sing!" The female snapped, Jinx grinned and took a deep breath.

"Oh no you don't!" A voice from behind startled all of the pokemon.

The Ponyta jumped from the alley and into the road. Rena couldn't have been happier to see one of the good guys again.

"Do you guys think it's fair to fight two on one?" Ponyta asked, her head held up high. Jinx snarled.

"And who are you! This isn't your fight!" He yelled at her. She smirked and took a step forward.

"I'm Penny, and for now on, anything dealing with Team Rocket is my fight." Penny took a deep breath, and out came a whole lot of smoke. Rena started coughing, but she could feel somebody picking her up.

She would have screamed, if she hadn't felt all the flames around her. Rena held tight onto Penny, as she dashed away. Everyone was coughing except for Penny, but soon the duo had left the smokescreen and into fresh air.

Penny ran and ran, until she came to a stop. You could faintly hear this one little yell.

"I WANTED THAT RATTATA!" Rena knew it was that female rocket. The one with dark red hair and evil black eyes. Rena shuddered.

"Thanks." Rena said to Penny, as she was sliding off.

"Don't mention it, but are you crazy? You could have been killed! Or worst, become one of them. Houndoom isn't going to be happy when he sees you."

"I did the right thing. I had to protect Waldo and Doug. I'm a leader."

"Yea, a leader of pipsqeaks! If it hadn't been for me you would have been turned evil."

"But Waldo-"

"Could of have help you creat a distraction to get away. You don't fuck with them Rat, or they'll destory you." Penny said, her face full of pride. Or something like that. But all that rudeness had set Rena off.

"The names Rena, not Rat. And for your record, they fucked with me when they destoryed my home. Hell! The fucked with the whole world when they destoryed my home!" Rena and Penny glared at each other.

"And how do you know they destoryed your home? And if there fucking with the whole world then they must be pretty good at it, cause nobody is doing anything to stop them!"

"They had a letter R on there shirts! Besides who would destory a city yet not destory the forest?" Penny snarled, and was about to make a retort, when a hatch from the ground lifted up, showing Houndoom's head.
