Author's Notes: Chapter 10! Woooo! Special thanks to Dracoshi(again) for the reviews. Anyway, I said this one would be longer, so, it is longer. I don't own Pokemon, Game Freak, Nintendo, any of them. I just own my OCs. Enjoy! WARNING: This chapter contains gore! If you are queasy, or easily sick, you have been warned.
It was a lot slower traveling, because we were moving slower, and we both jumped at every sound. We expected more of Team Rocket to be lurking around, but we saw neither hide nor hair of them as we made camp for the night. Unlike the other nights we stayed anywhere, we set a watch on the camp. First me, then Aura, then Krystal, then Shadow. Thankfully, nothing happened.
We got up around 7:00 AM, and packed up. We continued on our way, finding fewer zubat and paras, and finding more Clefairy. Being unable to use our flashlights, in fear of Team Rocket seeng the light, we traveled in darkness, my clothes blending in perfectly, while Krystal's stuck out like a sore thumb. But that couldn't be helped. We walked further until we saw a clearing in the cave. We rushed forward, but upon entering and seeing what was in it, we froze in our tracks. The cave was filled with crystals. There was even a huge crystal in the middle, stretching to the ceiling. They all radiated light. But that wasn't what froze us. Right in front of the huge crystal, two clefairy heads were mounted on poles. Tied between the poles was a sign that said, "This is what happens to those who get in our way. I gagged, but Krystal actually puked.
"Those... those bastards." Krystal said.
"They...oh Arceus," I said.
"Its just as the sign says," a voice spoke behind us. We whirled around to find the two Team Rocket members standing there.
"You... you killed them..." I said.
"Yes, yes we did," the man answered.
"They got in our way," the woman added.
I started shaking with rage.
"And you," the man said, pointing at me, "Well, you are very unlucky. Our boss wants you. So if you would come along quietly..."
"Yeah..." I said," As if I'm going to just walk up to you and... no... you will pay for what you've done to these innocent pokemon."
"We were merely sending a message," the man said.
"Oh my, John, we have failed to introduce ourselves!" The woman exclaimed.
"Oh, you're right," John answered.
"So," they said together,
"To protect the world from devastation,
To unite all people within our nation!
To denounce the evils of truth and love,
To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Alex" the woman said,
"And John" the man said,
"Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!
Surrender now, or prepare to fight!" They finished together. I just glared at them.
"I challenge you to a battle!" I yelled.
"As tempting as that sounds, I'll have to decline," John said. He threw a pokeball into the air, releasing a Hitmonlee behind us.
"Double Kick!" John commanded. I felt a searing pain on the back of my head.
"Gah...uhhh...unnn...uhhhhhhh..." I fell to the ground, hearing Krystal get hit and falling to the ground. The last thing I heard before falling unconcious was John and Alex's laughter.
Location: Unknown
"Ugh," I said as I regained conciousness. I studied my surroundings. I was in a cell, all I had were my clothes. My backpack was gone, and so were my pokeballs. My poketranslator, however, was still in my ear.
"Shadow..." I said.
"Don't worry," a voice said," your pokemon are in good hands," I looked out of the cell to see another Rocket member leaning against the opposite wall.
"However," he added, "I would be worrying about you. For the boss to call specificly for you... that's not good for whoever he called." I sat in silence, the pounding in my head slowly fading. I heard a door open off to the right, and a voice,
"All well?" It asked.
"Yeah, but he's awake now," the guy leaning on the wall answered.
"Good, I'll tell the boss," the voice came back, then the sound of a door closing.
"It is curious," the man continued," as to why the boss wants you. It ain't none of my business, but anyone would be curious. I sat in silence.
"Oh ho ho," he man said," a silent one. Well, the boss'll get you to speak. He always does." The door opened again, and in walked three Rocket members.
"We are to escort him to the boss," the one in the front said. He had a badge on his shirt, which seemed to show a higher rank. The man leaning against the wall stood up straight and saluted.
"Yes sir!" He said, grabbing the keys from his pocket and unlocking the gate. He grabbed me out and handed my over to the other three.
"Thank you," the admin(for that is what he was) said, "take the rest of the day off."
"Yes sir! Thank you sir!" The man saluted again and walked off.
"Come on," the admin said. He ushered me through the door, and we continued on. I tried to remember the way, but there were so many turns, and other ways you could turn, that I got lost. Eventually, we walked up to a door at the end of a hallway. It looked better than the others, and was decorated with flame paint. The admin knocked on the door, and it opened. We walked in, and I looked around. We were in a room. It was large, and had a stream on one side. A stream,I thought, We must be underground. On the far side of the room, a throne was set. On that throne...
"No..." I said," It can't be..."
"Hahahaha," the man on the throne laughed, "Welcome...brother."
On the throne sat my brother, Ace.
