Authors Notes: Welcome back all those who are reading this. Sorry for taking so long to update (don't ask, trust me, you don't want to know) but thanks for continuing to read this story. If you have any suggestions please tell me. R & R.

I have now redone this chapter. Because of what I changed in 9+10, I had to almost completely redo this chapter.

The Intro:

The battle of Viridian is underway. While the town's gym leader, the legendary Blue, fights above ground to hold the Rocket's attention, Generals Joseph Ketchum and Dillon Harrison had led a small strike in through the sewers, to rescue the Leah Waterflower and the others who were captured in Route 1.

While down in the basement of the gym, the team quickly tripped the new rocket security system. Soldiers Appo, Bacrca, Koho, Lunn, Knuckles, Spitter, Nye, and Nub were taken out along with the Pokemon Rattatta, and Spearow; before they managed to get a firm ground. But in war, no one is safe as another appeared, quickly taking out Onix and Graveler before aiming his sights at Dillon. Will they survive, or will they fall? Find out Now

Poke Wars: Chapter 11: Into Viridian; Take Control of the Gym Joseph! Dillon Defeat Tyler!

"Get them Scizor!" Blue yelled as another grenade went off. The grunts were trying everything they could to remove them. By now the battle was in chaos. Woman and older children were diving through trying to help the wounded or delivering supplies. Battles were pouring off into the streets were furniture, rocks, trash, and anything else was being thrown out the windows. He was standing at the entrance to the park, slowly leading the grunts into a trap. He hoped that the traps Joseph set up worked, or this would be a pretty short offensive.

"FALL BACK, FALL BACK." He yelled as a tank rolled around the gym. He had been waiting for that. The rockets might get suspicious if they retreated for no apparent reason, but with the tanks that gave them a reason.

Men poured into the forest like park. The grunts gave chase immediately without any thought. The tank rolled in front of the gym and stayed there as others began to join it.

"Sc, sc, sc, sc," He heard from his Pokemon as it jumped through the trees. He could hear the shouts from the others as well as the attacks from the grunts running to keep up. He dove under a stump and pulled out a button. "FOR KANTO!" He yelled the code phrase. One by one the men quickly found cover. "FIRE," He yelled as he slammed down the button.

Electricity covered the trees as and started to lower. Scizor's metal shell was not bothered by the electricity, but for the soft flesh of the Zubat and Golbat, it caused a lot of damage. The Zubat and Golbat that were chasing them cried out in pain in agony as the electricity coursed through them. As half flying types, the Pikachu charged attacks caused major damage. Joseph had loaded the capsules with attacks from the Pikachu colony that lived nearby. The button was designed to open the compressed capsules, allowing the attacks to jump at in all directions. With the release of the attacks, the electricity was slowly moving downward and hitting the rockets, grunts, and Pokemon alike. Zubats and Golbats were falling from the sky like stones and the other Pokemon attack. Those who were barely managing to hang on were taken out by Scizor.

"Get them!" He yelled to the men. Those with rubber suits on under their clothes quickly moved into the forest. Yells were heard as one by one the Rockets were picked off. "Round up those Pokemon." He yelled. As soon as he spoke, multiple women and children entered the area with cages, nets, and other random device to gather the injured Pokemon.

"Look out!" Someone yelled as a shell suddenly flew over the forest. It slammed into the building causing it to go up in flames. The sound of shells being launch filled the air as those in the forest dove for cover.

Time seemed to slow down for Dillon as the blast came towards him. There was no way for him to get out of the way. There was no Pokemon who could easily survive the blast to take it for him. Growlithe was running as fast as his paws could carry him but there was no way he could get there in time. His heart beat as fast as it could go as the blast drew close. He closed his eyes expecting to feel the overwhelming pain at any second. He heard and felt the explosion, but not any pain. Smoke filled his lungs but still he didn't feel any pain. Was this how it felt to die? No pain, just nothing? He opened his eyes and was shocked at what he saw.

"Good job Manaphy" Joseph yelled. The small blue Pokemon was standing in front of him where he had released her. Manaphy had found him after he left, and she had Leah's belt. He had quickly withdrawn her to keep her hidden knowing the element of surprise would come in handy.

Surrounding his friend was a light blue dome that was created by the water Pokémon. Smoke rose from it after taking the powerful attack. Tyler looked on in shock at the small shield, not expecting anything to stop it. The remaining men breathed in relief as the smoke finally disappeared.

"Attack!" Joseph yelled. The remaining Pokémon quickly charged up an attack and before the Golem could even move, multiple attacks slammed into him as well as an arrow that dug right into his eye. The large boulder yelled out as another arrow hit the other eye. Hawkeye dove up and quickly began to fire at the Pokémon. Each arrow hitting perfectly in the small crevices of his armor. The Pokémon staggered for a minute before falling to the ground. He shallow breathing stopped as it slammed down.

"No!" Tyler yelled looking at his Pokémon. "Get them!" He yelled as he reached for another Pokeball. Dozens of Zubat, Golbat, Meowths, Persians, Ekans, Arbok, Koffings, Weezings, Grimers, and Muks flooded into the room through various holes in the wall. A Dragonite, another Golem, a Aerodactial, a Kabutops, and a Omastar appeared in front of Tyler. Dozens of armed Grunts came in through the various hallways. "This is the end for all of you." He said "Prepare to die."

"Graveler" Dillon's rock type said as it landed on the ground. It stood firmly on its feet. Riolu, Pidgey, Charmander and Growlithe also stood strong. "Go Onix!" Dillon yelled sending out the giant snake. The seven men who remained quickly prepared their weapons as the whole group backed up to a wall to defend themselves better.

"We need to split up." Dillon said. "We still need to rescue the prisoners and disable security."

"As much as I'd like to stay together I agree with him." Hawkeye said. "We need to complete the mission before it is too late."

"But even if we do rescue them, what good would it do." Joseph said "We have nowhere to take them; our escape route has been cut off."

"Between the grunts down here and the grunt fighting the others, most of them are occupied. We can take them out the back. That isn't likely to be guarded as they rely on the security systems to detect intruders."

"Enough of this get them" Tyler yelled as the rocket forces charged.

"Okay Hawkeye, Havoc, and Jester." Joseph yelled. "You're with me. Dillon." He said to his friend.

"What."

"Bring the rain." He said. "As soon as we're able, make for the nearby hallway. There is a vent near the end that will take us near the command room.

Chaos ensued as the four of them attempted to reach the hallway. Those remaining behind began immediately to draw their attention away from the second group. Blasts of multiple types were flying around the room and a smokescreen was quickly filling the room. Three grunts quickly charged at them. Hawkeye dove down and shot an arrow into the first's head. Joseph flung his sword straight into the others chest while Riolu shot an aura sphere into the third. Hawkeye continued to take out all those nearby focuses on those with guns first. Joseph grabbed the sword as swung at an incoming Zubat. The Pokémon barely saw it in time and tried to dodge. The blade swung through the wing sending him straight into the floor. Riolu was jumping all over the place striking the various bats in the head send them to the ground. The others Rocket Pokémon soon found their attention affectively averted as Onix started to shot off Hyper Beams.

"Go" Joseph said as he dove into the hallway. Jester quickly dove behind him and ran down the hallway. An attack hit his shield causing him to stumble before regaining his footing. Havoc quickly followed behind him ducking to avoid a Hyper Beam from the Dragonite. Hawkeye dove the other side of the opening as multiple poison stings ran down on them. When Joseph looked over his shield again the Aerodactial was swooping down for the kill. As he was getting ready to hit the shield a white hot blast slammed into its chest sending it flying. Joseph also flew back hit by the shockwave of the impact.

"Let's go." He yelled as he turned and ran. Hawkeye followed right beside him. Halfway down the hallway he suddenly pulled out an arrow and shot it into the wall. A security barrier suddenly shot down blocking the pursuing Pokémon.

"Nice." Joseph said as they reached the vent cover. It was quickly torn off and Havoc disappeared inside. "Go" He said as an explosion shook the hallway. "Before they break through." Jester dove in followed by Hawkeye. He dove across the hallway and grabbed the vent cover before pulling out his Pokeballs. "Pidgey, Charmander, Manaphy return." He said as the three disappeared. Riolu jumped into the vents before he joined the others. He replaced the vent cover removing any clue as to where they went.

"Let's go!" Hawkeye said as soon as he was in.

"Lead the way." Joseph replied.

"Get the wounded clear" Blue yelled as men rushed into the building to check the survivors. "I want everyone else to fall back to the streets. I want the barriers set up and ready 5 minutes."

"Yes sir"

"Let's move" He yelled. The Rockets will be here any minute and I'd prefer not to be in range when they do. We need to keep them as separated as possible. We can't let them have superiority in numbers."

He quickly dove out of the wall as a shell struck nearby. Scizor landed right in front of him as the first of the grunts appeared. "Scizor hyper beam." He said pointing at the main group of grunts. With speed and power born of years of harsh training the steel type shot off the beam almost instantly. It white blast traveled quickly, slamming into the grunts before they even knew what was happening. The grunts in the front went flying like rag dolls as it hit the center of the groups. The nearby tank swerved out of the wall only to slam into a large tree was came down and crushed it. A small fire appeared near the blast temporally stopping the rocket advance.

"Let's move Scizor." He said as another shell appeared through the thick smoke. Dozens of people were fleeing the buildings headed for the streets. Up ahead the men was already setting up the barriers they designed. They were designed to protect from any Pokémon attack as well as tank shells. If the Rockets wanted to get them, they would have to meet them in the streets face to face and without their tanks. "Go Go" He yelled as he ran towards the barrier. By now the tanks were at the building. "Scizor." He yelled pointing backwards. "Cover the men while they escape."

"Sc." It screeched as it spun around. Another hyper beam shot out striking the tank into the front. Another blast was sent out hitting another group of grunts. A large sound was heard behind them as a group of grunts suddenly started to drop like flies. Blue spun around to see one of his trainees manning a machine gun.

"Bring the rain!" He yelled as he ran for the barrier.

"Get them Onix." Dillon yelled at the Pokémon who moved into the hallway. "Graveler, get those Pokémon off the troops." He yelled as Growlithe fought in front of him. They were quickly swarming them barely giving them a moment to breath. Graveler quickly rolled into a ball and slammed into a group of incoming Pokémon.

"Watch out" Someone yelled behind him. A group of Zubat had gotten through their defenses. Before they could even move the started to attack Ross. His arms were flaring around trying to shake them off before he collapsed to the ground dead. "Take em down! Take em down!" More Zubat and Golbat began to attack them. Dillon dove for the first one driving his fist into its head as it began to charge. Growlithe began to shot fire at the groups that had not yet descended.

"Watch out!" Hex yelled as a hyper beam broke through hitting Shiv right in the chest. "Man down. Man down." "I need to help."

"Onix attack Golem!" Dillon yelled quickly deciding to focus on Tyler. The men could handle the grunts and the other Pokémon, but they wouldn't be able to handle the mutts. "Graveler Magnitude! Growlithe Flamethrower!" The three attacks hit in perfect harmony. The magnitude threw the rock type in the air only for it to try to block the Flamethrower. Unfortunately for it, it wasn't able to take the Hyper Beam and took it head on. It was thrown out of the air and taken out. "Onix attack Omastar!" He yelled. The fossil Pokémon was much weaker than the Golem and was taken out without much effort. The Kabutops charged at Onix and jumped to attack its head, only to be struck down by a rollout by Graveler. The rock Pokemon continued on before being hit by a massive blast. The Dragonite was suddenly in front of him and had unleashed a unbelievable Hyper Beam. The Rock type went flying back and went through the wall sending debris into the attacking Pokémon

"No Graveler!" Dillon yelled as his Pokémon flew into the wall. Its injured body disappeared into a flash of red light. "Growlithe! Onix! Take it down." He yelled. The two Pokémon charged at the huge dragon. Tyler was directing it now, desperately trying to keep his last Pokémon in the battle. Hez and Joc moved behind him, trying to find cover in the debris. Gunshots began to ring out from both sides as the pair had stolen rifles from the fallen grunts.

Debris rained around them as blood began to pour. A few of the grunts had already returned their Pokémon and run. The rockets had them outnumbered by far, but they had far greater determination.

"How much farther?" Havoc complained from the back. Joseph had taken the lead and Hawkeye took up the middle.

"We're almost there, I can see our exit." Joseph replied as they neared the vent cover. He could see grunts manning the control panel and watching the fight in the hallway. He could see the three of them being backing into a corner while the grunts pressed on. Bodies littered the ground around them. "Get ready" He said barely making a sound. He could hear both pulling out arrows. Riolu got ready to slam open the vent. "NOW!" He yelled

With a bang the vent cover flew out. The grunts jumped in surprise and began to reach for their belts. Two didn't make it as they were impaled by arrows. Riolu took out a third while Joseph disable the fourth. A quick arrow from Hawkeye took out the last one as he reach for the alarm.

"Secure the hallway outside." Joseph barked as he jumped into a seat. Hawkeye nodded his head and pulled out in arrow. Havoc carefully opened the door as Hawkeye jumped out. Multiple thuds were heard as he took out the grunts before they even knew they were there.

"How's that code coming?" He said as he walked back in.

"Just give me a second…" Joseph said typing rapidly on the keys. "And…done." The effect was instantaneous. The red lights along the wall all suddenly went off as the traps they represented shut off. The turret in the room where Dillon was fighting shut off allowing the three to begin to press the offensive. All communication signals, security doors, pass codes, and traps shut off leaving the building not only defenseless, but in their control. "Now for some pay back." He muttered as he made a few clicks. The turrets suddenly turned on the rockets in the screen. Their surprised looks last for a moment before they were cut down by their own turret.

"Now for some cleaning" He said pulling up multiple surveillance screens. The grunts confusion over the shut down and the following lockdown was obvious. One by one, the turrets appeared cutting down the grunts that were guarding the hallways.

"Ok Hawkeye, Jester you're with me." Joseph said getting up from the terminal. "Havoc, guard the control room." As soon as we leave, seal the entrance. We can't let them regain control."

"Whatever." He said going to sit back down in the chair. The other two quickly left the room rushing down the hallway to rescue the prisoners.

"Press the attack!" Dillon yelled as the turrets turned on the grunts. Pokemon were quickly withdrawn to avoid their deaths, but it didn't matter as their trainers were cut down soon after. Only Dragonite remained dodging the bullets along with Growlithe and Onix at the same time. 'Not even a mutt can keep this up for long' He thought with a smirk. He may not be the strongest, but he knew how to work the odds.

"Onix Rage!" He called using the mighty attack. The tired dragon could do nothing to dodge the devastating attack. Bullets hit both Pokemon, but unlike Onix who had unbreakable skin, the dragon yelped in pain as the bullets ripped through him. Both of his Pokemon was continuously attacking it. Its trainer had already abandoned it and was disappearing into the wall. Hez's and Joc's bullets pinging against the wall as they tried to hit the fleeing admin.

With a mighty grunt the dragon took its last breath and collapsed to the ground. Immediately the turrets stopped allowing a firsthand view of the carnage. Bodies were lying where they had dropped covering the majority of the floor. A thickening layer of blood was pouring onto the floor. Debris covered the floor and some bodies from the many missed attacks. Joc and Hez had already began to pulled theirs free from the rest and into another hallway.

Dillon knew Joseph had already capture the control room and had probably used the defenses to take out the majority of the grunts. His best choice of action was to try to make his way up to the administration wing and take care of any stragglers.

"Finish clearing the dead and then get ready to move out."

"What do you mean? The battle is over."

"Only this part, the rest of the gym is still covered with grunts and their forces are still outside. We need to finish clearing the gym."

Authors Notes: Tyler had been defeated, they have control of the gym, and the rockets on the inside were on the run. On the outside however, things are very different.
