Author's Note: Damn... I suck at keeping this story updated frequently... I mean, I swear, I try for a weekly sort of thing... in my defense, I have been experimenting with multiple stories, many not published. Oh, and by the way, this is in the perspective of Sun.

Chapter 11: Team Rocket

"Let's get back on track now. We need to find out what Team Skull will do... do you have any ideas?" I said.

"Like I said before," Ethan began, "I have someone who could be used as a spy."

"Who could this be?" I asked.

"Not just one person... a team... Team Rocket!" Ethan exclaimed.

"Team Rocket! But they haven't been around lately!" Lillie pointed out.

"See, that's where you are wrong. They may not be all that bad now, but few people haven't heard of the infamous team. Every now and then, there are stirrings that the team is still around. Those stirrings are Frank... because he's kind of clumsy and forgets to take of his uniform in public. They don't steal Pokemon... not sure what they do... but either way, I happen to know their leader. Silver... my old rival." Gold explained.

"Ah, I get it. The name Team Rocket is infamous enough for Team Skull to allow recruiting from Team Rocket to Skull," Hau guessed.

"Yes! Perfectly right. Though... I haven't Silver in a long while. His dad died so he became the leader... but Team Rocket at that point were weak. Perhaps you know him, Giovanni," Ethan continued.

"Woah... Giovanni! After he retired, Team Rocket disbanded and failed at rebanding multiple times," I finished.

"But with Silver as the new head, things have ran smoothly." Ethan dialed a number into his phone and walked away.

"Team Rocket is horrible! I'll never forget what they did!" Lillie said.

"What did they do?" Hau said, hoping to get some story out of her.

"Well," she started.

-Flashback-

"Lillie, wake up!" Ethan yelled. Lillie woke up immediately. "A Team Rocket straggler stole your Pokemon!"

"Don't move, or I'll shoot!" The grunt said, holding a gun to a Pichu's head.

"W-wait! No, don't kill him!" Lillie cried in fear.

"Hey, man. Take it easy. When did Team Rocket kill Pokemon?" Ethan calmly asked.

"Since you destroyed our team! Every last one of us loyalists... what can we do now!" The grunt said shakily.

"Think about it, you are about to kill a Pokemon. It's so young, and it's her partner not mine. So why don't you put the gun away and-" Ethan said walking slowly towards Pichu.

"I TOLD YOU NOT TO MOVE... you made me do this!" He aimed the gun and fired at Pichu. Ethan dove and the bullet hit his right leg, leaving Pichu unscathed.

"Yeah... well you made me do this. Feraligatr, Hydro Cannon!" Gold yelled, in obvious pain. As Feraligatr downed the grunt, Lillie ran to Ethan.

"Ethan, are you alright!?" Lilly said, worriedly.

"Yeah. Uh... but I do think I'm going to need to go to the hospital... sorry about all this, Team Rocket holds a grudge against me. I messed up there plans in Johto," Ethan explained.

"Don't worry, I'll help you!" Lillie said, pulling some stuff from Gold's bag.

"If you can treat a bullet wound, the first aid is in the third pouch," Ethan mentioned.

After Lillie finished treating Gold, he stood up and nearly fell if it weren't for Feraligatr. He manged to limp without need of support.

"Never thought anyone could stoop so low... to try to kill a Pokemon... just horrible!" Ethan exclaimed.

"We still need to get you to a doctor. Is there one in the next city?" Lillie asked.

"I think we are in luck!"

-End of Flashback-

"No, no!" Hau started. "Don't end on a cliffhanger! Will Gold survive!"

Lillie and I looked at each other and then back at Hau.

"Dude, he's literally right there! Of course he survives!" I yelled.

"What's wrong with you! Spoilers!" Hau yelled back.

"Guys," Ethan said, walking back to us, "Silver answered after my 24th call. He said he could help us!"
