(A/N: Okay, now we're finally getting to the good part of the story. Sorry for the delay everyone XD. Anyway, it's best I get started because even I can't wait to start writing this!)

Chapter 11: Captured!

Finally recovering from the drowsiness, Matt slowly opened his eyes and quickly noticed he was in a dark setting. Once getting his bearings, he eyes then shot wide open in surprise. "What the-"

It appeared that he was in some sort of cell, almost like a prison cell. Looking around, he then saw Kari and Jack, who appeared to still be knocked out. Going over to them, he quickly said, "Kari, Jack, you have to get up!"

"Ugh, just two more minutes," Kari said sleepily.

"KARI!" Matt yelled, which was something he didn't do too often. That was all he needed to get both of them up.

"Alright, alright, sorry," Kari said. She then looked around wildly, now looking afraid. "Where the hell are we!?"

"Well, it looks like a prison cell to me," Jack said sarcastically.

"Thanks, Mr. Intelligence," Kari snapped. "But really though, how did we end up here?"

"Last thing I remember was being ambushed with sleeping gas, and that was about it," Matt said. He then noticed something wrong. "Wait a minute, where's Raiden?"

"Huh?" Kari said. She then looked around and almost squealed. "Oh no! RiRi isn't here either! Where they could be?"

"And Kyle as well?" Jack asked. "You think he's being kept somewhere else?"

"Actually, you really don't have to worry about me," a voice said. The door outside their cell had just opened and looking over, they saw Kyle coming in. However, they noticed something different, especially the clothing he was wearing. "Well, isn't this such a nice surprise?" Kyle said. Instead of his usual attire, he was now wearing a uniform that had a large "G" in the middle.

"Kyle, what the hell are you doing!?" Jack cried out. "You can't seriously be saying that you've been-"

"I'm afraid so," Kyle said. "Have you ever wondered why after school was over it wasn't until now that I showed up again? I, like many other people I know, was offered a big position by some people of Team Galactic. They told me with the experience I had I would make a sufficient Commander, and with Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter out of the picture, they had limited vacancies."

"So if you've been with Team Galactic this entire time, why did you stick with us at first?" Matt asked. "We saw you take out those Grunts."

Kyle sighed as he face-palmed himself. "It was obviously set up!" he said. "I already knew what you did to Team Galactic before and how you had special contact with the lake trio. Doing what I did, I ended up gaining your trust, making you think I was on your side."

"You bastard!" Kari cried out with venom in her voice. "You were using us the entire time so you would know where the lake trio was and where they would meet so you could find your way into the Reverse World to find and capture Giratina."

"Smart girl," another voice said. The door had opened again and this time a man, who appeared to be in his sixties or seventies, came up right next to Kyle. "I see you figured out our plans already. But I guess you would've figured that out from your last encounter with Team Galactic."

"Who are you?" Matt asked.

"I am Charon, the last remaining Commander of the old Team Galactic," the man said. "I served under Cyrus with the others, but I wasn't considered nearly as important at the time. Well, look who's laughing now, Cyrus."

"So you really are after Giratina then," Jack said.

"Yes, and it's all possible thanks to you," Charon said. "After with what happened at Veilstone, we had to lay low for a little while. However, we found ourselves a nice little area close to Twinleaf Town, that no one would be able to find. After that, we learned about Giratina and it's connection to the Reverse World. With Giratina at our side, Dialga and Palkia won't stand a chance. Now, if you don't mind, I need to make sure all of the crew is ready for the departure to Spear Pillar. I'm sure you have these three taken care of, Commander Sheppard?"

"Of course," Kyle said. Once Charon left, his attitude then changed. "Hmph, he's all talk," he said. "Doesn't even have his own Pokemon to defend him."

"Kyle, where's Raiden and RiRi?" Matt asked.

"Somewhere else in the facility," Kyle said. "But if I were you, I'd worry more about your own skin."

Matt then noticed he still had his other Pokemon. "We'll see about that," he said, taking out of his Pokeballs and calling out Empoleon. "Now Empoleon, use Metal Claw!" Empoleon then charged at the iron bars but once touching them, there was a spark of electricity and the penguin Pokemon was sent flying back against the wall.

"Nice try," Kyle said. "Don't bother though, that entire cell is powered with a five hundred electric volt charge, very dangerous. Kind of makes you wish you had your Raichu now, doesn't it?" Matt just glared at him while calling back Empoleon. "Anyway, I have some business to take care of, so please, make yourselves at home." And with that, he then left the room.

"I always knew there was something fishy about him," Jack said, curling his fists.

"But what do we do now?" Kari asked.

"I hate to say it, but I hope Raiden and RiRi are alright," Matt said. "Because they may be the only ones who can get us out of here."

It wouldn't be the first time Raiden had been knocked out, as he remembered his last painful experience. Waking up slowly, he saw that he was in a dark and empty room, one he definitely did not recognize. He tried to get up and move, but then realized he was tied up. Looking behind him, he then saw RiRi was there, her back against his, tied up to some sort of strange device. "RiRi," Raiden said, giving her a small nudge. "RiRi, wake up."

RiRi groaned, then opened her eyes. The surprise was in her eyes was expected as she quickly looked around. "Ah! Raiden? Where are we?"

"I don't know," Raiden said. "I have a really bad feeling this might be one of Team Galactic's hideouts."

"Wonderful," RiRi said, sighing. "Why must this always happen to us? I'm looking forward to the day we can go on vacation or something."

"Well, before we do that, we need to get out of here," Raiden said. "I'm not sure what this device is, but maybe if we use Thunderbolt at the same time, it'll cause the device to overload."

"Wait a minute!" RiRi cried out. "Maybe that's not such a good idea."

"How come?" Raiden asked.

"Because what if it's one of those devices where if we do that, it'll blow up, killing us both?" RiRi asked. "Trust me, I've seen it in movies."

"And I thought you were just into romance movies," Raiden said. But she did have a point and now he was quite nervous. "But... either way if we don't do something, we'll never get out of here. It's worth the try... or sacrifice."

RiRi gasped, but then nodded as tears began to form in her eyes. "Alright then," she said. "But Raiden, I just want to say one thing."

"What's that?" Raiden asked.

"I just want you to know, I have and always will love you!" RiRi said as tears dripped down her face. "And that I hope even in death, we'll still be together."

Raiden gasped upon hearing that. "I..." he said. "I'll always love you too RiRi, forever and always." He then closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. "We'll do it on three. One... two... THREE!" They then both used Thunderbolt at the same time, causing the device to overload and spark, and then it exploded, causing it to shoot out in all directions.

Once stopping, they then opened their eyes, looked around, looked at each other and soon found themselves laughing as they gave each other a hug. "I guess maybe I've watched too many movies," RiRi said, still giggling.

"Probably," Raiden said with a smile. "So, did you say all that just so you could make that little comment?"

"No...." RiRi said with a bit of a smirk.

Raiden then gave her a peck on the cheek. "We better look for the others."

"But where could they be?" RiRi said. "As if this facility wasn't big enough."

"They have to be somewhere on this floor," Raiden said. "Let's just make sure we stay stealthy and not be seen." Going through the first door they saw, they started their search for their human trainers.

(A/N: Ah yes, it's that time again isn't it? Well, I just happen to have a song that will certainly fit the scene that's about to come up. Only problem is... the song's fifty seconds long and I can't find any other version of it! Oh well, I don't usually do this, but I think it's time we use the little feature called the repeat button. Anyway, the name of the song is "Strange Whispers" from Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days.)

*In another part of the facility, one of the nearby doors opened and two Pokemon came through. "Ugh, I still don't know we have to stay in this stupid building," Umbreon said.

"True, I would rather be outdoors, where at least the air is fresh," Jolteon said.

"Jolteon, listen," Umbreon said, stopping suddenly. "There's something I need to talk to you about."

"What is it?" Jolteon asked.

"It's..." Umbreon said. "It's just that, why are we here? Why couldn't things be like they were before, before Team Galactic?"

"We don't have a choice," Jolteon said. "If this is what Kyle wants, then we have to respect it."

"But it isn't right!" Umbreon said. "What we're doing can't possibly be right. How could Kyle have been so easily fooled by-"

He was cut off because Jolteon slammed him again against the wall. "How dare you say that about him!?" he snarled, fangs bared. "After all he's done for us, and you have the heart to say what you did? Whether or not you're my brother, if you try to back-stab either of us, I will kill you."

Umbreon gasped at this, but glared at Jolteon while getting up. "So that's how it is?" he said. "You care about your trainer more than your own family. You make me sick!"

Suddenly, the door opened in front of them and to their surprise they saw Raiden and RiRi! "Jolteon... Umbreon, is that you?" Raiden asked.

"How in the world...?" Jolteon said. "Well that's just great..."

"What are you guys doing out here?" Raiden asked as both he and RiRi went up to them.

Umbreon just turned away: he couldn't stare them in the face. "We should be asking you the same question," Jolteon said. "I guess those constraints just weren't good enough."

"What?" RiRi said. "What do you mean?"

"Raiden," Umbreon then said, still not looking at them. "I'm sorry, for all of this."

"Huh?" Raiden asked.

"Haven't figured it out huh?" Jolteon said. "I guess you're just too trust-worthy."

"Wait a minute," RiRi said. "You're not actually saying..."

"Bingo," Jolteon said. "We work for Team Galactic. It's kind of a shame you refused to join, Raiden. We could've used someone strong like you."

"Excuse me!?" Raiden snarled, now baring his fangs. "Are you telling me this entire time you were working under cover for them!?"

"It wasn't our choice," Umbreon said.

"Shut up!" Jolteon snapped. "Anyway, I would love to explain everything but I'm afraid I have some business to take care of."

"RiRi," Raiden then said. "This might end bad. Get out now while you still can."

"But Raiden-"

"Just do it!" Raiden said pleadingly. RiRi looked at him, and with a nod, headed through the next door.

"You're just going to let her go?" Umbreon said.

"Makes no difference," Jolteon said. "Now, head back with the others and get yourself ready, or is that too much to ask for?"

Giving Raiden an apologetic look, Umbreon then turned to leave. However, before going through the door, he looked back to his brother. "You know, you've changed," he said. "And not for the better." And with that, he was gone.

(A/N: Okay, so I'm sure you think despite what I said before, there haven't been many battles in this so far. I plan to make up for that, starting right now. The name of this song is "Throw It All Away" from Sonic Adventure 2. I particularly like this song is because it sounds bad-ass. The lyrics I both like and dislike at the same time, mostly because some of them are good and some are not, but that's just my opinion. Anyway, let's get this going!)

*"So, I guess it's just you and me again," Jolteon said. "Good, I've been waiting for this moment."

"What do you want Jolteon?" Raiden said. "I don't want to fight you like this."

"That's just too bad then," Jolteon said. "I went easy on you last time, but this time I'm not planning on holding back."

Raiden realized the battle was unavoidable. He would have to do whatever he could. "Fine then, if I have to talk sense into you, then so be it," Raiden said.

"Well, then I see I'm going to enjoy this," Jolteon said. "Pin Missile!" Jolteon then shot bristles right out of his fur and shot them right at Raiden.

Due to the speed of the attack, Raiden had to quickly dodge out of the way. He then charged right at Jolteon and jumped into the air. "Iron Tail!" Raiden cried out. He landed the attack but Jolteon then disappeared. "What!?"

Having used Substitute, Jolteon reappeared behind him and used Double Kick to send Raiden straight into the wall. "Ha! What's wrong Raiden?" Jolteon asked. "I thought you were stronger than that."

Raiden then got up slowly, badly bruised and scratched. He then spat blood out of his mouth. "Don't think I give up that quickly," he said venomously. All of a sudden, he was feeling rage, a feeling that he had never experienced before. "Enough of this!" He then charged straight at Jolteon, flinging himself wildly although he wasn't able to hit his opponent.

Jolteon then jumped back. "I know you just used Frustration, but it's pointless. You're loyalty to your trainer is too good for that move, which makes it weaker."

"Shut up!" Raiden yelled out.

"So, has the true Raiden finally revealed himself?" Jolteon said with a smile. "You think your rage will help make you stronger? Let's put it to the test."

"Yeah, let's do that," Raiden said. With great speed, he jumped into the air once again. "Brick Break!"

"Protect!" Jolteon cried out, now being protected by a green sphere of energy before Raiden could get to him. Jolteon then smirked. "You still have much to learn. Charge Beam!"

The attack then struck Raiden, sending him back again. However, he got to his feet and charged once more. "Focus Punch!"

"Shadow Ball!" The sphere of dark energy then hit Raiden, causing him to sway and miss Jolteon. He then fell to the ground, breathing heavily.

"Fight you coward!" Raiden said in between breaths.

"Coward?" Jolteon said, a glare coming onto his face. "You think you have the right to call me a coward?" He then went over to Raiden and kicked him right in the face. Blood then seeped out of Raiden's nose and mouth. "I have trained with Kyle for so many years, and endured many battles, which have made me stronger. So don't even think of calling me a coward!" He then hit Raiden again, which ended up knocking him out. He was about to strike again, but stopped and regained his composure. "I thought you would've been stronger than that. Guess I was wrong..." And with that, he left the room, leaving Raiden beat down and bruised.

(A/N: And that is the very violent ending to this chapter. Poor Raiden, he goes through way too much. Anyway, I decided to cut the chapter here because I think it'll be better that way, plus now it'll add suspense on whether Matt and the others will get out and whether Raiden will be alright. Actually, now that I think about it, I feel bad for Umbreon too, since he never wanted this... he's just following orders. Oh well. So, I hope you enjoyed the chapter and tune in next time to see what happens!)
