Chapter 11 - Escape Part 01

As we left Nimbasa city we could still hear the shouting from the fans as their anger increased. Route 5 was quite even with these people standing around here waiting for the drawbridge to open. We waited beside a tree in silence, Oshawott gave me his scalchop to check up on after it was recently broken during a battle. The glue i bought for repairing the shell worked nicely and didn't seem to be coming apart. I gave the shell back to him and he activated Razor shell and swung it around playfully, smiling as he did.

"HELP!" Everyone turned to the screaming woman as she ran out of the forest with torn clothes and bleeding on her legs and forehead. As she reached the road she fell to the ground with many people rushing over to her. We walked over to but couldn't get any closer with all of these people in the way. A man with a beard and glasses was the first to ask her what had happened.

"A-Annihilation... I-in the forest... m-my son is in there...Billy!" She shouted attempting to get up but was held down by the others.

"So, is this a job for the Saviors then? Ya know, Annihilation?" Isaac asked speaking quietly among the crowd.

"Anything involving Annihilation isn't good news, we have to help." I replied as we began to walk away from the crowd and ran inside the forest where the woman came from.

The blood from the woman was leading to a valley with high cliffs. "Why was that woman and her son here?" Sakura had asked as we walked in a line down the narrow valley.

"Perhaps she was sightseeing or just going for a walk." Isaac said to her looking up at the top of the cliffs.

"But there isn't anything in route 5. It's just a forest that leads to the ocean and cliffs. There is hardly any Pokémon living here." What Sakura said made me wonder why the woman was here with her son, but i just shrugged it off thinking the son wanted to go for a walk into the forest.

The bloodstain suddenly stopped midway in the middle of the valleys path. It was a large stain, but apart from that... the woman did seem to lose a lot of blood.

*Crunch* Suddenly we heard footsteps behind us. Turning around we saw the very same woman who screamed out of the forest standing behind us with a smile on her face.

"Osha?" Siad Oshawott as he began to look around as if he were warning us about something, but it was too late to do anything as the woman shouted,

"NOW!"

We heard rustling from bushes on the cliff as Annihilation Troopers left them and aimed their weapons at us. More of them appeared from behind the tree's in front of us and behind us. All of us froze in place as every Annihilation Trooper aimed their assault rifles and pistols at us. An Annihilation's Uniform was black all over from boots to helmet, but the only thing that wasn't black was the large yellow letter 'A' on their foreheads.

"Wow, I can't believe that worked." She laughed as she grabbed a gun from her coat. "I was like 'HELP! ANNIHILATION!' *Laughs*" As she laughed the other members of Annihilation laughed with her.

"Wait!" Isaac begged, "We don't have any money or valuables." The woman walked up to Isaac pushing past both me and Sakura. She faced him and said,

"I don't care if you have a million PD or nothing, we have new recruits to join us." With that she hit Isaac on the head with her gun as he collapsed to the ground and quickly clicked her fingers signalling the others to shoot at us. The shots fired weren't lethal, they were tranquilizer darts hitting me in the arm, Oshawott on top of his head, Sakura on her leg and Minccino on her chest. I could only feel a slight sting as the needle came into contact and thought that the needle was unaffected for some reason... then came darkness as i felt lightheaded as my body fell to the ground.

Unknown Location

I awoke in a dark cell to find both Isaac and Sakura inside with me. Isaac was still unconscious but Sakura was awake. Sakura noticed that i was awake and crawled over to me to help me up. This gave me a better view of the cell, the walls made entirely out of metal, from the looks of them they seemed new or this cell wasn't used that much. The floor like the walls were also metal. There were a few stains of blood around the cell, it was most likely Isaac's as his head had dried blood on him as he was lying on top of a bed. The cell bars weren't exactly metal bars that you'd expect in a prison cell, but it was a green beam like laser that each beam wouldn't allow anything larger than a pokéball through. These energy bars were recently produced for prisons. They were pretty good to use to stop prisoners from attempting to grab other prisoners and guards from outside of their cells. The bad thing about them were if the electricity happened to go out then the energy bars would stop working.

"Are you alright Zack?" Sakura asked me helping sit up.

"I'm alright... Where did Oshawott and Minccino go?" Sakura looked at the Annihilation Trooper standing outside of the cell.

"They took all of them, including out items."

"How's Isaac?" i asked slightly rubbing my chest after feeling a light sting.

"He's still unconscious, I have tried asking the guard for some water or get his wound treated but they refuse to do anything or listen."

"Shut up in there." The guard guarding the cell demanded through the other side of the cell not moving an inch.

"Please, our friend here needs water, a bandage even," Sakura pleaded with the guard trying to convince him to get Isaac treated, "Please-"

The guard suddenly turned around, "If you do not shut up, I'll cut your fucking tongue out. So SHUT up!" The shouted before facing away from us and back to his position on the side of the cell.

Sakura walked up to Isaac to check on his wounds leaving me to sit there on the cold cell floor.

Looking around some more I tried to find an advantage or anything to help us escape this cell... but I found nothing, we were trapped in that cell awaiting for whatever Annihilation were about to do to us.

Meanwhile on the other side of the compound

Oshawott, Latias, Totodile, Chikorita, Minccino, Marill, Yamask, Growlithe and Ampharos all walked in a single line as two Annihilation Troopers, a female with a shotgun up front and a male trooper behind pushing Ampharos forward to keep up with the others.

The male trooper walked to the side as they approached a door, "Stay here." He inserted his key card into the device and waited for the light to turn green. The door opened and ordered the Pokémon to move forward aiming his gun at them.

When all Pokémon were through the trooper followed and began to push Ampharos again who was getting more and more irritated with each push.

Walking down the corridor another Annihilation member approached them. An older member. "Quite the collection you got here." The trooper looked at them, but all of them in fear didn't look at him. "Three trainers, three starters... you captured kids?"

The female trooper stepped forward, "It's better than letting them go and blabbing about us to the Saviors. I mean, what else could we have done?"

"She's got a point there... But we can't kill these kids." The older male trooper aimed his pistol at both members and calmly said to them,

"The boss told me and you this, 'Anything species, gender or age is acceptable' we need them so Annihilation defeats those who oppose us. You two should remember that enemies of Annihilation will die." There was silence as the oldest member rested his pistol on his shoulder, "If you don't want to be here then go, or don't you believe in Annihilation making this world a better place?"

"Forgive us sir, we are Annihilation members forever." The female trooper saluted as she looked at the male trooper.

"Sir. Annihilation forever." The male trooper saluted.

The eldest began to chuckle as he looked at the Pokémon in front of him, some shaking, some tearing up.

"What Pokémon is this? This red and white one here?"

"Sir, that is a Latias, a Pokémon from the Hoenn region. It is a dragon/psychic type and a female only species." The male trooper told the eldest not leaving his gaze away from Latias. "It is also a legendary Pokémon sir."

"Legendary you say? Rare or not, these will add more power to our units." The trooper then petted her head. Oshawott's anger increased when he saw Latias tear up a little. "It's alright if ya ain't gonna see your trainer again. Just think of it that he is abandoning you." Latias was on the verge of crying but Oshawott stepped out of line and approached him.

"Hey, get back in line!" The male trooper commanded aiming his gun at him.

The eldest trooper knelt down and held his hand gesturing him to lower his "No-no, let this little guy try and fight me. I want to see what he's got." The eldest trooper pulled out a knife from his belt and carefully watched Oshawott.

"You see this knife little guy? This thing can cut skin with ease, so if you don't want to see your friends sliced up you return to the line... or perhaps we'll just cut off one of those kid's head off?" The eldest member aimed the tip of the knife at Oshawott's face but he wasn't afraid of him. Latias grabbed him by his paw and pulled him back, Oshawott walked back to the line.

"You see? show them you are not fucking around and they won't do a fucking thing." The eldest trooper got up and walked to the male trooper, "Learn from it or they will walk all over you. Take 'em to their cells." The eldest trooper walked away and through the door.

As the Pokémon and the two troopers were walking through the corridors Latias quietly whispered to Oshawott, "Thank you." giving him a smile that made Oshawott blush.

A few moments later of what seemed like endless walking through metal corridors they finally approached a cell with the energy bars still up. The female trooper was entering something on the keyboard in front of her. The male trooper aimed his gun at all of them and watched them carefully.

"Latias," Latias carefully turned to see Yamask beside her, "I'll use shadow ball on the female and you use psychic, knock him out."

Latias used psychic on the male pushing him into a wall. The female trooper turned to see that the commotion was but all she could see was a large shadow ball hitting her in the face knocking her out. The male trooper got up again but was hit in the head by Totodile head butting him.

It took them about a few minutes for them to carry both troopers into the cell and activate the bars by randomly pressing buttons.

"Okay, our first thing we should do is-" Growlithe was cut off from Marill with, "Who said you were the leader?"

"Because I am the oldest one here and the one with high intelligence than anyone here."

"Just because you are older doesn't mean you are more intelligent than us." Oshawott stepped forward facing Growlithe.

"Oh look, Osha-bitch approaches. Wow, do you like showing off or is some way to make everyone like you, cause i do not like you." Marill coldly said to him.

Just then, the janitor of the building entered through the doors, "Alright, I'm here. Where is this so-called emergency?" He stopped as he stared at the Pokémon looking at him. he also noticed the troopers in the cell all knocked out. He began to run out of the room but Yamask threw a bucket at his head knocking him out as he fell to the ground.

"Sorry." Yamask apologized to the unconscious man, "I was trying to aim for your legs... I'm so sorry."

They grabbed him and threw him into the same cell they placed the troopers in after carefully pressing the buttons so they didn't press the send for janitor button again or some other button that would lead to more trouble.

All of them gathered around for a plan to escape the building with their trainers.

"How about we take out the generators? Zack came up with the idea to shut them off-"

"Oh poor Zack," Marill interrupted Latias with a smug smile, "My precious trainer thought up a plan to stop some enemies. Seriously that's all you ever talk about, 'Zack this' and 'Zack that' it's like you love him or something, what are you, a sicko for loving a human? if that' the case he'll be arrested and humiliated for being a fucking pokephilia. disgusting scu-" Marill was cut off when Latias pushed her over with her psychic. Marill retaliated with a water gun attack to Latias' face. Latias was about to attack her again but Ampharos got in their way.

"We should be working together, not fighting against one another. The faster we find our trainers the better." Ampharos stepped aside.

"Let's find our trainers first, then we can work out how we can escape from here." Growlithe insisted as he looked at each one as they agreed with him.

The Pokémon then left the room cautiously as the corridor in front of them was empty. As they ran they made sure to have their moves ready in case they were met with a group of enemies or some kind of trap[ that Annihilation could've set up for intruders. When the Pokémon had reached the end of the corridor and to the door, they then realized that they needed a key card to enter and that one of the troopers put the card back in their pocket. Totodile was about to head back, but suddenly the door in front of them opened. An Annihilation member stopped as he noticed the Pokémon were not in their cells and began to raise his gun but was electrocuted by Ampharos as he fell. But what we didn't expect is that he still had his finger on the trigger. The gun fire was so loud the most of the covered their ears but Latias continued using Protect but a much more stronger version of it preventing any bullets hitting them. Some bullets ricocheted off the Protect and hit an alarm as the room began to emit a bright red as an alarm blasted through the room.

"Now you've gone and done it you stupid eon." Marill shouted irritably at her.

"I didn't do it on purpose." Latias defended but Ampharos got their attention by shouting 'Run!' as the doors began to close in front of them. there was a door already open on the side of the corridor so they easily took it after having no key card and not enough time to take down a door.

In front of them were about 8 Annihilation troopers on the other side of the room aiming their weapons at them.

"Fire! Leave none alive!" He commanded as all troopers with their guns shot at all Pokémon they could. Everyone was hit but to avoid further fire they evaded by hiding behind some boxes that prevented bullets hitting them. All of them were bleeding pretty badly and their HP had dropped for most critical level and some halfway.

"It hurts... *sobs* it hurts!" Minccino cried as Yamask provided comfort for her. Latias continued to use Protect as she covered herself whilst in the protect.

"Oshawott, your head!" Totodile pointed to Oshawott's head as he was resting beside Minccino. Like Minccino, he was bleeding pretty badly, but on his head. He was now on critical HP and if he lost anymore he would died. Oshawott's breathing became steadier as he watched Latias protecting him and everyone else.

Latias then had an idea, something that she thought could help them get out of here much faster, "I can use my ability to sneak up on them and attack them." Oshawott looked at her again, "No, don't." He breathed as he tried to get up but his head injury was making it difficult.

Latias let go of using the protect and began, "Yamask, help me out here." Yamask nodded and faced the troopers still firing at them. Yamask used nightmare which seemed it didn't do anything at first but then for three of them saw images of their fears, they screamed in terror as they dropped their guns and ran out of the room knocking over some boxes on the way out. Latias who had used her invisibility like move to quickly sneak behind them and fired a powerful mist ball at them. Latias quickly returned to the others and used protect again.

The captain who managed to return standing grabbed his radio, "This is sixth squad captain, send backup, I repeat, send back up now!" the captain then was knocked out by Growlithe using ember at his chest as he fell over on the ground hitting his head.

More troopers appeared and fired more and more rounds at them, until one of them hit a fuse box completely shutting off all lights within the room. The troopers then activated their flashlights attached to their weapons and aimed at the Pokémon again but didn't fire.

Unsure as to why they ceased firing, Latias with her protect still active slowly raised her head from the cover to look, but the lights from the flashlights prevented her from seeing past the cover.

*Vroom* A mechanical noise was heard coming from behind the troopers. *Vroom* another noise was heard which sounded like footsteps slowly coming closer to them. Until suddenly Latias saw it behind them, two large red lights like eyes staring right back at her. The light from room this machine came from lighted up the room better. It was a large humanoid machine, black in color and carrying a gun which appeared to resemble a larger version of an assault rifle. it was an unmanned machine walking without any one inside moving independently as it opened fire on the Pokémon scared for their lives.

Notes about Annihilation Mechas:

Version A Mechas can walk on its two feet making it capable of walking through forests and jungle terrains with ease. Version As do not create a lot of noise whilst moving making them excellent at stealth. They can also climb tall buildings and mountains sometimes even jumping on to them 10 times the height of that of a human.

Only a few of these have appeared throughout the Unova region once believed to be manned weapons but they were AI weapons programmed by Annihilation. The weak spot after several battles trying to find a way to defeat them was in fact the back of the head, but this weak spot can only be uncovered after a massive hit from either RPGs or Pokémon move to remove the defense blocking the weak spot. This Mecha is not effective by electricity attacks but instead powers up its speed making it faster and more deadly.

They have also been seen one a few occasions to hover off of the ground, it is unknown as to how long they can stay in midair for or how fast they can travel.

A disturbing recording from one of our Savior members witnessed Mecha collecting dead bodies after a battle. The Savior member who has asked not to be named escaped without being seen after suffering a serious injury.
