Chapter 10
My mind nearly went blank as I attempted to comprehend what was happening as Team Rocket approached Nova and I. Giovanni looked straight at me with a sure, confident smile. I merely looked back at him like a deer in headlights. He clapped his hands together cordially and smiled at us.
"I just can not believe that we haven't had some actual face time yet." He said. "I mean, I saw you back in the tournament, and that was some great stuff. You and your pokemon…especially Nova here do absolutely excellent. But before we go further, I'd like to introduce everyone here. You know me, of course." He gestured to four people standing next to him. One had a sort of beret on with aqua colored hair. He nodded at me.
"This is executive Proton." Giovanni said. "He has a certain flair for the dramatic." Proton smirked at me. Giovanni then gestured to a strange looking man with purple hair coiffured up above his forehead. "This is executive Petrel. He has a good taste in leaders." Petrel nodded his head quickly.
"You know it, Giovanni, sir!" He cried happily. He seemed to me to be the kiss-ass of the whole group.
"These two in the matching white outfits," Giovanni said, gesturing to a busty woman with red hair and a rather small man with blue hair. "Are Ariana and Archer."
"Oh, he is cute." Ariana said with a wide smirk. I looked at each executive as well as their leader, who merely smiled pleasantly. But it was the smile of a serpent I was seeing in front of me. They all looked at me expectantly, standing beside their threatening-looking pokemon.
"What do you want?" I asked the group.
"Well, we'd like you to come with us." Giovanni said with another one of his snake smiles. "Just like at the tournament. You would do well to remember that you were the only trainer I wanted to come with us."
"Why me?" I asked him.
"There'll be plenty of time to explain once you come with us." Giovanni said. "So, if you'd please…" I looked back and forth between the executives, Giovanni, and their pokemon. I took a step back and the leader of the crime syndicate put a finger up. "Ah no, Logan. Please don't do that."
"But-" I began.
"Now…you might think less of me when I tell you this but please, I implore you not to, but as I was introducing us, a Team Rocket agent snuck into your apartment and he now has two Sevipers ready to kill your cousin and his Gardevoir. If you try to fight us, Petrel here will make a call on his handy little walkie talkie to that agent, and we will have them killed in their sleep."
"You son of a bitch…" I said, beginning to move closer to him. My vision began to blur with rage as I prepared to do everything I could to hurt him. Nova quickly stopped me in my tracks, snapping me out of my fury.
"Logan, no." She said as tears began to fall from her eyes. "They'll kill them."
"I'd listen to the Typhlosion, Logan." Giovanni said, raising an eyebrow. "Now would you kindly come with us into our vehicle so we can leave?"
"What about my other pokemon?" I asked, hatred lacing my words.
"You'll leave them here." Giovanni said. "Just hope that Alan will take good care of them."
"Wait…" I said. "I'm…We're…Nova and me…We aren't coming back?" I asked as my own eyes filled with tears. Giovanni nodded.
"I'm afraid not, my boy." He said. "We know you'd just go straight to the authorities. It's not as if they'd find us…But all the same, I'd hate to have them sniffing after us. So come along. Now."
"You heard him, sweetie." Ariana said. "Let's go."
"Don't make this any harder than it needs to be." Proton said, furrowing his eyebrows. "My Golem would just love to crush your Typhlosion…But he won't unless he has to."
"She'd burn him to cinders, you sadistic fuck!" I screamed, as Nova put a hand on my shoulder, unaffected by their taunting. She squeezed it tenderly.
"Now, you're going to have to quiet down, Logan." Giovanni said with a sigh. "We can't have you waking up the whole complex, can we?"
"Logan…we have to go." Nova said, struggling to keep the tone of her voice steady as she cried. "We can't let them kill Alan and Jade…" I exhaled heavily as looked down at the ground, attempting to come to terms with what I knew to be absolutely true. There was no way out of it…unless…
"Why are you doing this?" I said to Giovanni. "What have we ever done to you, or to your…organization?" Giovanni sighed and shook his head.
"Logan, you haven't done anything to us." He said. "We're doing this because…well, because we can. Now kindly come over here so that we can bind you and your…lover." Giovanni narrowed his eyes sadistically at Nova and I.
"Well…" I said. "Can I at least…write my cousin a goodbye note? I need to tell him what to do so that he doesn't just stay here by himself. He doesn't have his license yet…"
"So that you can tell him to call the police?" Giovanni said with a small laugh. "I don't think so."
"Have one of your executives here watch the note as I write it." I said to him, furrowing my eyebrows. "Besides, if you're so confident the police can't catch you, it shouldn't matter if he calls them anyways because we'll already be far gone, right?" Giovanni scoffed.
"I suppose you're right." He said. "Petrel, give him a pen and paper. Make it quick." I nodded as Petrel handed me a small notepad and a pen. I got down on the edge of the sidewalk and began to write my note.
Alan,
I apologize for leaving you here at the apartment. Nova and I have some unfinished business that we need to take care of back at the college where the tournament was held. Apparently, we've been accused of theft and we have to meet up with the representatives so that I'm not expelled from college. We'll be gone for a while, so call your mom and tell her to come pick you up. I had to pick up and leave pretty quickly, so could you take care of Flametail, Lockjaw, Blaze, Lucy and Rose for me? I really appreciate it, bro. Give them my love.
Logan
I wrote the letter as slowly as I could. It was rather dark outside, so none of the Team Rocket members noticed me grab a rock from beside the sidewalk that was about as big as my fist. I had a plan, and I silently prayed with everything I had for it to work. I began to hand the note up to Petrel who smirked down at me.
"Alright Petrel, you take the note up to the doorstep. Then come right ba-" Giovanni was interrupted by my flinging the stone against the side of Petrel's head as hard as I could, sending him stumbling back, crying out in pain. I reared a fist back and launched it into Proton's face. They were all completely stunned.
"Nova! Use eruption!" I cried at my Typhlosion, but she was as stunned as Giovanni and his crew. Completely taken by surprise, she just looked at me, fear in her eyes. My stomach fell in sorrow and regret that my plan had completely failed. "Nova!" I nearly screamed. Giovanni kicked me in the chest at that moment, sending me onto my back. I struggled to catch my breath as the Team Rocket leader leaned down and began to beat me on the ground. I struggled against him and succeeded for a bit, but he overpowered me. The guy hit like a truck, and each punch felt like it was crushing my skull. Nova screamed and launched herself at the Leader, but was pulled back by the Seviper, which she turned around and slugged in the face, sending the serpent flying back. She easily lifted up the Rattata and threw it into the Arbok, knocking it down and horribly injuring the rat pokemon. The Golem moved in and knocked her down with it's bulk, but she blasted it with a flamethrower. Each of the executives gave their pokemon commands, all four of them converging on Nova. She fought like hell and appeared to be winning for a bit, but the four pokemon overwhelmed her at the command of their trainers and beat her down until she was as bloody as I was. A Rock Blast from the Golem sealed it. When the pain and violence stopped, Giovanni was breathing heavily and looking down at me.
"Petrel!" Cried Giovanni. I could barely register any of the words. My head pounded and my vision blurred. I nearly choked on my own blood that was dripping down my throat from my busted gums.
"Yes sir?" The executive said, clutching his still bloody head.
"Make the call." Giovanni said. "Kill them." These words snapped me immediately out of my stupor.
"No! Please!" I screamed. "Don't kill them!"
"You did this, Logan." Giovanni said. "You could have come quietly."
"NO! STOP!" I continued, tears running down my face, certain that Alan and Jade were probably going to be killed in their sleep. "I'll go! I'LL GO!No matter what, I won't fight you anymore, I swear…I swear to God!" Giovanni hit me in the face once more.
"Shut up!" He said angrily. "Be quiet." He stood over me before looking at me for a moment and sighing.
"Sir?" Petrel asked.
"Call the grunt down here." Giovanni said.
"But sir-" Archer began.
"Did I stutter?!" Giovanni snarled. "Bring him down here, Petrel!" Petrel nodded and took the walkie.
"We're done here." He said into it. "Come on down." Giovanni leaned down to me and grabbed my by my shirt collar and whispered to me,
"I hope you remember this when you're thinking of fighting again. Because so help me, if you ever try anything like that again, I will have them brought to you and I will slaughter them in front of you. You got that?" He slugged me in the face one more time. "You little shit?!" The executives withdrew their pokemon and looked at Giovanni.
"So…What now?" Ariana asked.
"Now, we're going to blindfold and gag the kid, take his pokemon into a poke ball, and take them back to base." Giovanni said. "And Logan, don't worry about being separated from Nova for too long. Through the time you stay with us, you're going to become much…closer." As he said this to me, Archer and Proton roughly yanked me up from the ground and bound my hands behind me before tying my mouth up tight with a gag. Nova sat up and reached for me.
"Logan…" She said weakly as she was drawn into a poke ball. I tried to respond to her, but it was horribly muffled and unintelligible thanks to the crude rag in my mouth.
"Let's go." Giovanni said as he began to walk away. Petrel stood in front of me for a moment before giving me a small, mocking wave.
"Night night!" He slugged me in the face and knocked me unconscious.
I awoke later in a small, confined room lit by harsh fluorescent lights on a cot that was grossly too small for me. I groaned in pain as I shielded my eyes from the light. My head pounded as I struggled to get my bearings. I felt a pair of gentle hands caress my arms.
"Logan." A sweet voice said to me. "You need to relax."
"Nova?" I asked as I looked at the source of the voice. As my vision cleared, I saw that it was indeed Nova who was addressing me. She was a little beat up, but other than that, she looked perfectly normal. "Where are we?"
"I don't know." Nova said. "I woke up about half an hour ago."
"Move." I said. "Let me get up."
"No." Nova responded almost immediately. "Giovanni really laid into you last night. You need to rest a little while longer."
"Is it really that bad?" I asked. My face did feel a little puffy and sore, but other than that, I felt okay. Nova nodded nonetheless, though and I sighed heavily. She gestured up to one of those corner one way mirrors that hides a video camera. I was able to see myself, and I nearly gasped at what my face looked like. I really was beaten to shit. Bruises were all over my face, one of my eyelids was swollen shut and my lip was certainly busted.
"Jesus." I said. "I wish I could say 'You should see the other guy'." I looked over at Nova after saying this to see her crying.
"I'm sorry…" She said sorrowfully.
"Hey…Hey, why are you crying?" I asked as I caressed her cheek. She looked up at me and shook her head.
"I…I didn't react when you gave me that command…" She said.
"Hey, it's not your fault." I said. "I took you completely by surprise."
"But…Because I didn't react, we're here now…And we may never see Alan, Jade or your Parents again…" Nova sobbed. I pulled her closer to me as she continued to cry into my shoulder. I shushed her and kissed the top of her head.
"It's okay, Nova." I said. "It's okay…"
"No, it's not!" She cried. "No matter what, it is not going to be okay! Who knows what they're going to do to us?" I put my hand under her chin and moved her head up to face me.
"No, Nova." I whispered to her. "No matter what happens, it's going to be okay. I will get us out of this."
"But what if you can't?" She asked me.
"Do you have faith in me?" I asked.
"Of…Of course I do." She said.
"Because I definitely have faith in you." I continued. "And no matter what, we're going to get out of this. I'll do something…I'll help us escape." Nova began shaking her head as the door slid open with a loud his. I recognized the silhouette of Ariana from her massive breasts. She came into the room and placed a tray of two plates of food on the table in the middle of the room.
"I'm going to have to ask you to move to your side of the room, Typhlosion." Ariana said.
"Her name's Nova, you bitch!" I said, but Nova placed a hand on my shoulder and stood to move to the other side of the room. Ariana raised an eyebrow at me and smirked.
"You're defiant…even now." She said. "I like that. I really like that."
"Why are you even here?" I asked her.
"Well, from the looks of things, Giovanni truly fucked you up." She said to me.
"Fucker sucker-punched me." I mumbled grumpily.
"Ho-kay, tiger. No matter the case, I was given the ever-so-pleasant task of cleaning you up." She withdrew a medical kit and placed it on my cot.
"What, you trouble-making criminals aren't bad enough to let your prisoners rot?" I asked her spitefully.
"Ouch." She said as she withdrew a cotton swab and some rubbing alcohol. "Logan, it's like you don't know us at all."
"I got to know your leader pretty well last night-AH!" I exclaimed in pain at the alcohol cleaning the open wound on my face. It burned like fire.
"Oh, shut up." She deadpanned. "I've been around Giovanni a lot more than you. He was prepared to give you every courtesy until you threw a rock at one of his executives."
"So I should just assume he's a nice guy otherwise?" I asked. She rubbed some antibiotic cream on the wound. It was very soothing. "When he threatened to kill the people back at the tournament? Yeah, pass."
"That was just a scare tactic." Ariana said. "He probably only would have killed a few people. He knew they'd all have given in after that."
"Gee, what a saint." I grumbled.
"Well, you're still alive, aren't you?" She asked me. "He could have killed you by now easily."
"Are you just completely blinded to how terrible of a person this guy is?" I asked. "Or have you done this bad shit with him?"
"To tell you the truth, tiger…" She said. Seems like she already had a pet name for me. "He is a real asshole sometimes…but he's very…generous, if you catch my drift."
"So what, he makes you give him one less blowjob than he would if you weren't an executive?" I asked. She furrowed her eyebrows at me.
"Funny." She said she pressed onto the wound on my face a lot harder than necessary, sending a jolt of pain through me. "When it comes down to it…I couldn't get a job anywhere else…and he gave me a good opportunity. That's it."
"A good opportunity?" I asked. "You mean like kidnapping pokemon and their trainers for what the fuck ever you guys are gonna do to us here?"
"To be completely honest, that wasn't in the job description…" She said, looking down for a moment. "But I don't ask questions. That's what got me so high in the pecking order."
"I'm so happy for you." I said. "What are you going to do to us, anyway?" I asked Ariana who raised an eyebrow at me.
"I actually don't know." She said. "All I know is that neither you or your Typhlosion can leave…at least not any time soon, and by night, this room will separate into two rooms by a wall that will come up from right there." She pointed to a rather large crack in the floor. Ariana then looked at me and sighed heavily as she stood and put the medical supplies away. She was…different from the others…at least from what I could see. She began to leave before I took hold of her dress.
"Please. Just tell me…" I said to her. "Why? Why are you doing this to us?" She immediately slapped my hand away with a look of outrage on her face.
"Take your hand off of me!" She turned and began to leave before stopping in the middle of the doorway before halfway turning her head to me. "I'm doing this…because Giovanni told me to."
"But-" I began.
"Giovanni will be here in an hour to two to brief you both on what will happen while you're here." Ariana said quickly, interrupting me as she closed the door. Nova then stood and moved back across the room and sat down at the side of my cot. I placed my hand on her head and stroked it lovingly.
"I'll get us out of this…" I said. "I swear to God I will."
It took everything I had not to attack Giovanni as he came into the room to tell us why exactly we were in the room I the first place. He looked at Nova, who sat on my cot with me, and then at me. He frowned and sighed before shaking his head and placing his palm on his forehead.
"Logan…" He said. "First of all, I'd like to apologize for losing myself back at the complex. I should have handled myself better. Still, you did attack us when I explicitly told you not to." I wanted to tell him to fuck off, to do whatever he was wanting to do to me and either kill me or let me go. But I kept a lid on it and merely nodded at him.
"Well, now that we've got that troublesome matter out of the way, I am here to brief you on how you will be serving Team Rocket during your stay." It sounded to me that he was trying too hard to make his voice sound personable and sympathetic.
"Alright." I said. "Go on." Giovanni cleared his throat and looked between Nova and I.
"We will be performing experiments on physically bonding you with your pokemon, Logan." He said, his smile never leaving his face. I barely heard Nova gasp as I tilted my head at him and narrowed my eyes at him.
"You mean you'll…" I began.
"Be fusing your body to Nova's, correct." He said. "But not just your body…We'll be fusing your minds as well. See, back at the tournament, we had several tournament workers paid off and many agents actually attending, including the one you found out. They were ordered to report on the trainers who had the best bonds with their pokemon in battle. We received many heartwarming anecdotes, but an overwhelming number of them were about you and your Typhlosion. So, I took the time to watch your battle with your cousin; and might I just say, I was impressed. You two share a significant bond, of this I am certain." The falsely-kind words did nothing to distract me from what he had just confirmed that he, or one of his scientists or something, would be doing to Nova and I. The very proposition of it made me completely sick to my stomach.
"What do you mean…fuse?" Nova asked, her eyes going wide with worry.
"We will surgically graft parts of the both of you together…Don't worry, you won't look like Frankenstein's monster or anything, and we put you under for the procedure so that it'll be painless, but you would be able to tell that you were once two separate beings. Then, we will….well…basically dissect your brains and place a half of each together before using a special technique we've developed to fuse the synapses together." Giovannni explained as if what he was suggesting was completely normal. "See, we here at Team Rocket wish to develop the ultimate super-soldier. A fighter with the strength and abilities of a pokemon and the intelligence and intuition of a human being. And with the minds of pokemon and trainer melded together, it would become the ultimate enforcer of Team Rocket's will."
"But the brains…" I said, nearly stuttering in shock. "What if they…don't connect? What if we die?" Giovanni looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
"Then we bury your corpses and move on to the next two subjects. You were definitely one of the best trainer-pokemon duos at the tournament to be sure, but you weren't the only good ones." He said.
"And…if we survive the transformation?" Nova asked quietly.
"Then we make sure we know what we did right, and we kill you." Giovanni said. "Can't have you running off and telling on us, can we? Relax, it'll be quick, I promise…Unless you resist. Then I'll bury you both alive." Nova's eyes widened with fear as he turned and walked out of the room. "I'll send someone in with your dinner. Tata." Nova looked at me, completely frightened.
"Logan…" She asked. "What are we going to do?"
"We're going to get out of here." I said. "There's no way in hell I'm letting that fuck do that to us."
"You heard him." Nova said. "If we try to escape and fail…He'll bury us alive."
"We get mutilated and die anyway if we stay here." I said. "God, I knew he was evil, but he's one sick son of a bitch."
"Well how would we do it?" Nova asked.
"We could wait until one of them brings us a meal or something, then burst out of the room and just get out of here. You're strong as hell."
"I don't think I'm that strong…" Nova said, her ears laying back.
"Nova!" I harshly whispered to her. "Stop thinking like that! These bastards don't have us beaten, and you've got to remember that!"
"Open your eyes, Logan!" She responded. "Look at this place! It's completely sealed off with steel plate doors. When Giovanni opened that door it looked to be six inches thick at least!"
"Can't you just…blast through it or something?" I asked.
"I could. But it'd take at least a minute or two to burn through the door. They'd know by then because of the cameras." Nova said. "We're going to die, no matter what happens." I couldn't help but grimace at my Typhlosion.
"I can't believe you're even saying this." I said. "Well if you wanna give up, too fucking bad, because I'm not giving up no matter what happens! And I'm not leaving here without you, so you're coming with me whether you like it or not, so either help me plan, or shut up!" Nova looked very hurt for a moment, and I wanted to apologize, but I knew I couldn't. Sometimes tough love was the best kind. Nova breathed deeply and looked at me.
"You're right. I'm sorry." Nova said before bringing her voice down to a whisper. "What are you thinking about doing?"
"Well…It seems as if there is going to be some kind of experimenting before they actually…fuse us together. And during that time, I'm going to try to get something else out of Ariana…She seems…Different from the rest of them." I whispered.
"And what if she doesn't help us?" Nova asked me.
"Then we do what I said before. We try and fight our way out. If we fail, we take as many of those fuckers down with us as we can." I said. "I think, if that happened, we would need to get me a gun and we'd need to stay together."
"That sounds-" Nova began before the door to our cell opened up. Ariana walked in with a platter of three plates with surprisingly decent looking food for the both of us. It was fried chicken with mashed potatoes, a biscuit, green beans and carrots.
"What're you two whispering about?" Ariana asked us smugly. I glared at her.
"We're saying our goodbyes." I snarled at her before scooting up to the table. "What, you guys don't feed your prisoners slop like normal criminals?"
"We have our own cook here." Ariana said. "Giovanni was adamant about giving you exactly what we were having tonight."
"Well, isn't that nice of him." I said before pointing to the platter. "There's three plates."
"I know." Ariana said. "I'm dining with you."
"Any particular reason?" I asked her.
"Well, we're not going to get the chance to talk much after tonight, so I figured I'd eat with you guys. You seem like charming conversation companions."
"What if we don't want to talk to you?" I asked her with an angry raised eyebrow. She help up a bottle that she had seemingly snuck into the cell.
"I brought whiskey…"
Ariana, much to my complete surprise, was very fun and easy to talk to. She was sassy, with just the right amount of sincerity to make me feel like she actually cared about what I was saying. She, Nova and I had gotten decently tipsy during our dinner, but none of us were completely drunk, and we were able to maintain a conversation very well. Ariana was giving me looks all night long that, if I didn't know any better, I'd say were looks of desire…Well, she was really hot…and I was gonna die soon. But I was with Nova, and I'd stay loyal to her if I could help it.
"Look, Logan…I just want to apologize for what we've done to you and Nova." Ariana said to me. "It's not personal…at all."
"I get it." I said, looking down at the table for a moment. "I totally get it. You're just following direct orders from your boss."
"Actually, Giovanni didn't tell me to have dinner with you guys. To be honest between that and the whiskey, I've probably already broken a whole lot of rules for you guys."
"Why?" Nova asked her. "Why would you break these rules for us?"
"Because I like you guys." Ariana said. "If we had met under different circumstances…I'd bet that we'd become good friends." Nova and I said nothing to the comment and merely looked at each other. Ariana sighed and stood up slowly before looking at Nova and I. "Alright, you two. Time for bed. You've both got a big day tomorrow." The statement sent a harsh chill through me as I stood and moved to my cot.
"Nova, you too." Ariana said, looking at my Typhlosion. Nova slowly stood and walked to her cot. Ariana stepped to my side of the cell and pressed a button, bringing a large wall down between our halves. Nova looked at me worriedly and I nodded at her, before giving her a quick wink. Now on my side of the room, Ariana turned to face me. I merely looked up at her and scowled.
"What are you still doing here?" I asked her. She shook her head and sat down on my cot.
"Can I tell you something in complete honesty?" She asked me.
"Do I look like I give a shit?" I replied.
"I'll take that as a yes." She said before beginning. "I…hate Giovanni…probably almost as much as you, kid."
"Bullshit." I said. "I'm on to your act. You brought in the dinner, drank with us, talked to us, now your having this honesty time with me? This is just sad."
"Say what you want, tiger. But it's true." She said. "Not many people know this, but Giovanni forced me to work for him at first. Back when I still had a husband, we were in pretty bad shape. He had been…diagnosed with liver cancer and we couldn't afford chemo or any type of treatment. We had a small house, sure, but we struggled constantly with bills, debts and just trying to keep each other fed. Giovanni came to me and offered me a job. He said that the pay would be excellent and would get my husband and I out of the hole for good. I took the job, knowing full well what Team Rocket was and what they did. I did his dirty work for a while and got the money flowing in and for a while…everything was great. We could afford chemo for my husband, we could actually buy groceries every week…we even got full cable TV and that high-tech DVR thing." She laughed. I was still guarded for her to be lying, but I decided to press her on.
"Well what happened?" I asked her. "You're talking like it all changed."
"Oh it did. It turned out that after my husband's first cycle of chemo, we found out that his cancer had already progressed for so long, he wasn't going to last another six months. I wanted…" Her voice broke and my stomach leaped. Maybe she wasn't lying to me. "I wanted to spend my time with him, so I told Giovanni that I wanted out. He said no and forced me to continue working with the promises that he'd pay for the best treatment that money could buy. Well, that was all a lie, as you've come to expect from him. I got to see my husband on the last night of his life on his deathbed in the hospital. The cancer had eaten him down to the bone and he could barely respond to anything I said…He was always a big, strong man…your height…your build…but that night…I could have lifted him off of that bed." Her eyes began to flood with tears and I could tell she was holding back a sob. "When Giovanni found out…he expressed his 'Deepest Condolences' and promoted me to executive to make up for it. I was being paid one-point-five million dollars a year…But by that point I didn't give a shit because I had no one to share it with." She cried after she finished her story…it was the silent, knowing crying. The crying where you're guilty for the horrible things you've done, but you don't know what to do about it.
"I…I'm sorry…" I said to her, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry about it, Tiger." She said, giving me a small smile. "I'm tough." We sat there for what seemed like an hour before I finally spoke up. This was it…the execution of my plan. It was now or never.
"Hey…Ariana." I said to her. She looked at me, probably happy that I had actually used her name instead of "Bitch" or "Whore".
"Yeah?" She asked.
"Let Nova and me out of here." I said to her. "Come on…you don't have to work for him. What's keeping you tied?"
"He'd find me." She said, shaking her head. "He'd find me and have me killed…or worse…"
"What could be worse than serving him for the rest of your life?" I asked her. "We could get you witness protection or something."
"I wish it were that simple…" Ariana said, smiling gratefully. "Sorry, tiger. It won't work. We wouldn't get very far." I sighed deeply and looked down at the ground. She was so friendly…so personable… It was so hard for me to believe that she was working for Team Rocket.
"God, I wish we really had met under different circumstances." I whispered. I heard her gasp quietly and saw her look at me in the corner of my eye. She took my chin in the palm of her hand and brought my face to look at hers. She was crying again, but it seemed…appreciative.
She kissed me.
And I kissed her back.
She was a good kisser, that much was very true. She wrapped her arms around my back and pulled me further into her. I returned the kiss, of course and in turn, wrapped my arms around her. She pushed me onto my back on the bed and straddled me. Her hips were utterly fantastic to look at and she squeezed my waist with her thighs. She disconnected from the kiss and took her belt off before beginning to pull her white Team Rocket dress up.
"Wanting to make my last night a good one, huh?" I asked her. She pulled her dress off, revealing her fantastic D-cup breasts, held back by white frilly bra.
"Let's just say I appreciate what you've done for me tonight." She said, grinding her womanhood against the bump my erected member made in my jeans as she unbuttoned my pants.
"Hey, I won't argue." I said as she pulled my pants down to reveal my erection poking through my boxers. She began to rub my dick through my boxers, smirking in a wily manner at me.
"You're really big, aren't you?" She asked me as she pulled it out and began to suck on it. God, Ariana didn't play around. She got right to business, moving her tongue along my member and sucking on it hard. My cock pulsed as she smiled around it. She suddenly took it out of her mouth and straddled me again.
"Whoa, what-"
"Just getting you nice and slippery. Do you want to fuck around with foreplay, or do you want to be inside me?" She asked. I opted not to argue once again. When she saw my compliance, she smirked and unbuttoned her bra, letting her amazing breasts fall free from imprisonment. I could not resist reaching my hands out and grabbing them. She moaned as I felt her nipples become erect between my fingers. I squeezed them and she giggled, smiling down at me.
"Are these real?" I asked, marveling at the fantastic feel of her mounds. She giggled in a sultry way and nodded as she ground her pussy into my dick. I smiled at her. She raised herself up and pulled her panties to the side and moved my member to her entrance. She bit her lip as she sunk herself on it. I threw my head back and smiled. I couldn't believe this was actually happening. I thought of Nova and felt a heavy pang of guilt shoot through me. But the physical pleasure was so good…I just couldn't resist. I began to thrust into her, making a mute slapping sound as my skin hit hers. She moaned and closed her eyes, losing herself in the pleasure.
"Oh, it's been such a long time…" She gasped as I began to pick up the pace. I picked her up and put her back against the wall and pounded into her harder. She moaned more and more and wrapped her legs around my waist. I put my hands on her nice round ass and squeezed nice and hard. I sucked on her nipples as I fucked her, triggering her lower lips to convulse on my manhood.
"Oh…I'm….I'm…" She moaned as I felt her cum. She bit her lip…hard as she came to stifle the noise. A streak of fear shot through me. I'd been having sex with pokemon for so long, I had completely forgotten to pull out. I pulled myself out of her and threw myself back on the bed. Luckily, she didn't notice and she got down and began to vigorously suck my cock to help me climax. It didn't take much for me to as I came into her mouth. I felt her swallow every drop and suck my member clean. She sighed and threw herself onto me. She clutched my body as we basked in the afterglow of our intimacy. We laid there for what seemed to be half an hour before she spoke up.
"So…how am I compared to Nova?" My eyes widened as I looked down at her. She giggled. "Oh, come on, we saw you kissing her outside your apartment. Don't worry, you don't have to hide it. It's not illegal anymore." I sighed. Ariana was awesome in bed, but there was something about sleeping with Nova…how much I loved her….And it was at that point all the guilt came back.
"You were great, don't worry." I said to her. She sighed and laid her head back on my chest.
"Come on." She said to me before standing up. "Let's get dressed." She began to re-dress herself.
"Why?" I asked her.
"Just get dressed." She said. "You wouldn't want to be woken up with your dick hanging out, would you?" I scoffed and pulled my pants on. By the time I did, Ariana had already gotten back into her outfit. She sat down next to me and pulled a small device out of her pocket.
"See this here?" She said to me. I looked at it and nodded. "Do you know what this is? I had to sneak a lot to get this out of our labs."
"A…A wire?" I asked in fear.
"No, silly." She said before standing up. "It's an EMP grenade."
"Wha-" Was all I could get out before Ariana promptly stood and threw the device onto the ground. All the electrical equipment malfunctioned at that point. All the doors opened and the wall separating Nova and my sides of the room raised. Nova quickly woke up and looked at Ariana and I.
"What's going on?" She asked me.
"I'm helping the two of you escape." Ariana said to us.
"But I thought you said that you couldn't help us escape!" I said, my eyes widening in surprise.
"What can I say?" She said before pulling out a poke ball and smirking at me. "I lied."
