The blue haired man named Archer ran away from the upcoming fight between Red and his two Rebel Team Rockets. Red looked at Archer as he kept running away, then he face his two minions who snickered at him while they held onto their electric prods as electricity emits around the stick. Red sneered as he charged at the two grunts. The grunts ready their prods as Red is getting closer. The two grunts swing their glowing electric prods at Red, but Red managed to dodge out of the way to the side and land a kick to the right grunt on the stomach. Red seized the opportunity and tries to disarm the prod out of his hand, but the grunt persist on holding onto it. The other grunt focused back at Red as he raised his prod up in the air and tries to hit Red, but Red moved out of the way and the grunt managed to hit his partner as electricity surged through his body. The grunt yelled and screams as his partner's prod collided against his skin. The grunt immediately pulled back right away, and sees to his horror on what he had done. Red took the opportunity as he landed a kick on the left grunt on the stomach and kicked the prod away from his hand. The grunt tries to fight back by grabbing Red's leg, but Red's other leg kicked him across the face. His fallen partner tries to help, but he was in no condition to fight back. Red rushed towards the electric prod he had dropped and managed to grab it before the fallen grunt could. Red swing the prod downward towards the fallen grunt as the grunt yelled out in pain and then fell unconscious. The grunt behind Red managed to recover as he tries to swing at Red. Red was hit by the electric prod as the electricity surged through him as he yelled out in pain. The grunt finally released the prod as hot smoke was steaming out of Red's jacket. Red fell onto the floor as he starts twitching. The grunt chuckled as he raised the prod again, ready to finish the job, until Red raised the prod in his hand and managed to plunge the prod against the grunts gut in time. He was electrified as he fell on the floor, unconscious. Red slowly got back up as he felt his feet a little paralyzed as he grab onto a steel pipe on the wall as he pulled himself up.
"Man…alright I got to find Archer." Red commented on himself as he tries to walk towards the direction Archer has gone. That is until the alarm started alarming as red lights flashing around the factory and sirens echoing through the massive area. Red scans the area as he wonders what just happened.
"Intruder alert! We have been invaded none other than Giovanni!" someone yelled through the microphone as it echoed through the steel factory. Suddenly there were explosions coming from the other side of the door that Red was about to enter, then he heard frantic footsteps coming closer and closer. Red looked around to find a spot to hide as he spotted a stock pile of crates that says fragile on it. Red ran towards it as he starts removing the crates cover and pulled out the contents inside that have a bunch of syringes, bubble wraps and other medical procedures. Red pulled himself in as he fell into the box crate perfectly, but managed to keep the lid a bit open to see what's going on. A few seconds later the door sprung open as Archer is being pulled around the collar as he starts gagging and choking by the true Team Rocket grunt as he's being pushed against the wall. The grunt immediately landed a punch towards Archer's face as it went to the side. Then he was kneed as Archer groaned in pain and fell onto his knees. Archer glared at the grunt as he spat out a drop of blood off his lips.
"What is going on…?" Red whispered to himself as he kept watching through the open lid of the crate. Suddenly there were loud footsteps walking into the room and Red's eyes widen, it was none other than Giovanni himself! Red gasped a bit, but covered his mouth to prevent any sound. Giovanni walked towards the fallen Archer as he looked down at him with a sinister sneer. Red's heart started beating at an uncontrollable rate as he kept eyeing at the scene at hand. Giovanni then looked at the fallen grunts that Red have subdued, he then snap his finger as the grunt that wounded Archer walked towards them and dragged them out of the room. Two more grunts came in with an assault rifle and a pump action shotgun.
"Close the door, I'm going to have a nice little chat with our traitor…" Giovanni commanded the two grunts who nodded their heads as they closed the door behind them. Red could only watch in horror on what Giovanni is about to do.
"Giovanni, sir, argh, I would never betray you! W-What made you think that I would!?" Archer questioned as he touch his cheek to inspect the blood. Giovanni smiled as he pulled out a revolver six shooter pistol out of his pocket suit. He aimed it at Archer, which he stiffed in fright.
"What did you say Archer? You would never betray me? That's rubbish, everything is. Stop lying, there's no point I heard it all!" Giovanni simply said as he pulled the safety of the revolver's gun. Red blinked his eyes as he kept looking through the lid.
"W-What are you talking about sir!? I'm merely doing what you ask me to do! Kill Red, but you've interrupted me and invaded the oil refinery!" Archer spat out as he looked at Giovanni with worries. Red looked at Archer and raised an eyebrow.
"An oil refinery…so I'm somewhere out in the sea? Am I in the abandon oil refinery near Vermillion City?" Red whispered to himself as he kept watching at the scene at hand. Giovanni raised a radio and pushed the play button.
"He didn't tell me the whole thing, he's hiding stuff from me, and the only person who knew it is you and Giovanni. Proton doesn't give a rat's ass so he's always at Giovanni's side. But me I like to make curve balls." The voice of Archer echo through the area as it made Archer's eyes widen as questions on how and where did they got that recording from.
"You're revolting your boss? I knew you were a sly fox Archer. The rumors are always spreading on how the crazy Archer is planning to rebel against the boss. I suppose the rumors are true then." Red's voice is heard through the radio. Red's eyes blinked as he too starts wondering. Then finally Giovanni clicks the radio off as Archer stared at the small device in awe.
"I know the rest already, I just wanted to show you how I know you're going to rebel me. If you're wondering on how I got this recording I planted at recording device on Red, to make sure none of my colleagues did anything that might upset me. Rightfully so, it did, and it was none other than Archer himself." Giovanni stated. Red's and Archer's eyes bulged out. A recorder!? Where!? Red closed the lid as he starts feeling around himself to look for such a device, the body, jacket, legs, underneath the shoes, until he felt something roundish in his hair as he brushed through it. Red pulled it out and found a round black small device that is literally the same hair as his. Red tossed it aside as he open the lid and peered some more.
"I also heard you've made a vaccine that allows harnessing its powers, just like those who are born with it naturally. Where is it Archer?" Giovanni asked coldly that sent Archer's spine sprung up, even Red felt little goose bumps on him. Archer didn't say anything as Giovanni smiled and shook his head.
"Fine then, I'll just have to tear down this place one by one." Giovanni simply said as he turned his back on the two grunts that are at the doorway. Giovanni raised a hand and gestured them to leave the room and find the vaccine. They nodded their heads as they left the room.
"You know what's my plan Archer; immortality." Giovanni simply said that made Archer raised an eyebrow. Red raised an eyebrow too as he kept his attention at Giovanni.
"As you already know, we have the prince Miles in our clutches, and we needed Leaf too. You may be wondering, why. Why would Team Rocket need these two royal blooded bastards that are lucky enough to gain powers? Well my friend, it's not the money we need, it's their blood, their blood that allows us to unlock the Life of Elixer, underneath the volcano of Cinnabar Island. It wasn't just a small town that was swept away; it covered an underground civilization deep below the volcano's base itself. Then deep beneath that lost civilization is a fountain, a fountain that contains the very source of immortality itself. Yes, I'm talking about the "Fountain of Youth", not only will it prevent me from growing old, but from any danger and hazards." Giovanni simply stated to Archer. Red's eyes widen and so did Archer's. This was the whole plan the whole time, to gain entrance to a lost civilization underground Cinnabar Island and only to find the "Fountain of Youth!?" Red couldn't believe it, so this was Giovanni's plan this whole time, to find immortality and if that happens…
"Then why are you telling me all of this Giovanni, so suddenly?" Archer asked as he raised an eyebrow. Giovanni looked at him and smirked.
"That's because it will be the last words you'll ever hear from me again." Giovanni simply said as he quickly aim his revolver at Archer's head who was in shock and awe, but before he could do anything; Giovanni shot him in the head with a loud bang, ending his life. Red's eyes widen in horror, Giovanni killed Archer! Red's heart pounded faster and faster as he was getting nervous and scared at the same time as his hands starts twitching.
"Shit…what am I going to do? How am I going to get out of here?" Red whispered to himself as he continues to watch Giovanni. In a strange creepy way, Giovanni starts to walk around Archer's dead body as he kept eyeing on the dead executive. Then he slowly eyed towards the crate Red's at with a creepy grin with wide eyes staring at it. Red felt his heart stop as he could see Giovanni staring right at him from his perspective view. Strangely, Giovanni walked out of the room as he continues to stare at the crate Red's in.
"Does he know I'm in here?" Red whispered to himself as he continues to watch Giovanni leave the room. Red decided to wait for a few minutes before he finally muster the courage to get out of the crate. Slowly he opened the lid as he got out of the crate and headed for the door. It was eerily quiet as he turns his back at Archer, Red didn't dare look at his face as he took a deep breath and opened the door slowly. To his dismay, the atmosphere felt very unpleasant as he felt like he's in an abandon factory filled with steel walls as the lights flickers on and off. It's like being in a horror movie and what a better setting than to be at night filled with murderous grunts from the most organized mafia ever. Red fixed his red cap as he slowly raised his right foot and took a step. Slowly as he inches his way through the hallway, skipping through the other doors, as he tries to focus on the door right in front of him, the exit. He looks at his hand carrying the electric prod. He sigh as he felt cold air blowing through his face, he was getting close. Red finally reaches the door as he gently open the door quietly. He went through and he could finally feel the cold breeze from the ocean blowing at his face, it was freezing as hell. He can hear Wingulls flying around the old abandon oil refinery. Red peered over the rails and see pitch black body of water, and from where he's standing, it's at least a twenty foot drop, an instant death if he were to fall over. Red continues to go down the rail and through a flight of stairs.
"I've got to find a boat, or anything for that matter." Red whispered to himself as he went through a flight of stairs. The creaky steels make high pitch moans from the rusty pipes and the waves crashing against the building. It was indeed a creepy feeling, being out alone at night in an old abandon oil refinery makes anyone cringe in fear or nervousness.
Red is on the third floor as he kept going down further. Finally he heard something behind him, a gun to be precise that's safety went off. He then hears more guns turning off their safety off. Red slowly raised his arms up in the air as he slowly turns around and see Giovanni and at least five grunts with him, pointing their assault rifles at him. Red gave a long sigh as he kept raising his arms up.
"So…Archer didn't kill you. I suspect as much, he always did like to toy with his enemies before killing them. What a pain." Giovanni said as he shifted his collars. Red stared in disgust as he glares at him.
"I swear to god…if you hurt Leaf…I'll-"Red was interrupted when Giovanni starts laughing.
"I'll what? Kill me? You don't have the will or the strength to do so. You're hopeless Red, ever since we scoop you out of that street; you were just being used right from the start. It's hilarious because in some ways you did help me about Archer's true intentions. A slave to the end and only to be killed by his master, poor boy. Well you know what that means when a pet decides to rebel against the master right?" Giovanni questioned the young teenager. Giovanni pulled out the same revolver that killed Archer as he aimed the gun at Red.
"Shit…you bastard, you're just going to kill me in cold blood!?" Red yelled out at Giovanni who only smirked back at him. Giovanni pulled the trigger as the gun made a loud bang sound that hit Red around the shoulders as he fell off the rail and into the dark waters. In that moment when Giovanni shot him, it felt like time just stood still, he starts seeing Leaf her bright smiles who's always cheering him up, Blue the best friend as though he's a brother, Silver a younger brother like friend who always looked up to him, Yellow his best friend since he had met her, Frederick who was kind hearted towards him, and even Bruno who helped him train more on his combat skills, he was like an older brother to him, but it's all starting to fade away as he plunges into the dark deep sea.
'Leaf…' Red thought as he stretches his arm out towards Leaf's imagery that pops into his mind that soon faded away. He closes his eyes as he sank deeper and deeper into the cold water.
"Red!" Leaf yelled out as she's riding on the back of a Pidgeotto with Yellow in the front. Everyone have scoured every cities and towns and still no trace of him anywhere to be found, they've been searching for hours and hours and still no whereabouts of Red. Leaf wouldn't or in this case, couldn't stop searching, she's getting desperate. Blue, Silver, Bruno, even Frederick himself along with countless other search parties looked high and low for him. Despite Leaf being on top of a flying pokemon, she almost forgot that she even have a phobia on birds, maybe it's because she's too focus on finding Red.
"Damnit Red where are you!?" Leaf shouted out some more as she scans the area. She looks down below as she can see other people looking around Saffron City. From the way it looks, they've found nothing. Yellow looked behind her as she sees Leaf getting more worried than before, it's strange that he just suddenly disappear out of nowhere. She didn't talk to Leaf at all, she too was busy looking for Red as well.
"Le-Leaf!" A static voice spoke from her radio on her skirt that's clipped on to the side. Leaf immediately picked it up and held it against her ear.
"Yes dad!? Did you find him!?" Leaf asked worriedly as she tries to concentrate on what her father's trying to say.
"Y-Yes Leaf! We're here in Vermillion City! Red's here washed up on the beach! Some fishermen pulled him out of the water and now he's here! Come quick!" Frederick responded back. Leaf nods her head as she shut the radio off.
"Yellow to Vermillion City, my dad found him!" Leaf called out to Yellow who nodded in agreement.
"Pidgeotto, to Vermillion City!" Yellow called out the giant bird creature that nodded its head and headed down south.
Few moments later Leaf and Yellow have finally reached Vermillion City, from what she recall, they've found Red when a fisherman pulled him up, so they headed towards the dock. Leaf ran as fast as she can until she found the dock that's flooded with people surrounding someone on the pier.
"Move out of the way folks, return to your homes!" Frederick called out as the pedestrians grumbled and left the area. After the pedestrians left the area, Frederick was holding against Red on his arms as he tries to shake him awake. He then looks at his shoulder, it's bleeding heavily. Leaf finally reaches towards her father and then she saw him. Her eyes widen as she sees Red lay lifeless under the arms of her father.
"Red!" Leaf yelled out as tears fell from her eyes as she went by his side. Without hesitation she lifted her hand and out came a bright light that surrounded Red's body, hoping that she'll be able to save him. Few moments had past, Leaf was getting extremely worried if she had made it in time or not. Then suddenly Red's eyes popped open as he starts coughing out water and his shoulder is healed. Red looked around groggily, everything was fuzzy and very unclear as he shook his head.
"Frederick…? Yellow…? Le-Leaf…?" Red whispered as he looked at the figures standing before him.
"Red!" Leaf cried out as hot tears stream down her face as she embraced the surprised boy, trembling and frighten at the possible fact that she might lose him forever.
"Oh my dear boy you're alright!" Frederick cried out tears of joy as he too embraced him. Red feels like he's losing oxygen from all of the hugging.
"G-Guys…can't breathe!" Red wheezed. Frederick and Leaf immediately pulled back as Red gasped for air. Leaf was too happy, but she doesn't want to hurt him anymore than he already is.
"Oh Red…oh god Red…I missed you. I was so worried…" Leaf cried as she touches his face. Red smiled as he slowly raised a hand and touched her hand that's on his cheek and smiled. He then looked up and saw Yellow smiling and crying at the same time.
"Hey there Yellow…aren't you going to give me a death hug too?" Red joked. Yellow was excited too as she embraced the boy which she cried against his shoulder. Leaf smiled and so did her father.
"Red…I thought you were…gone for good this time…" Yellow cried as Red patted her back. She pulled back as she wipes the tears off of her eyes.
"Red!" Two voices yelled out his name simultaneously. Red look back out and saw Blue and Silver running towards him. Red smiled and chuckled. Then last, but not least, Bruno came into the action as he gave Red a massive bear hug that could've broke his spine.
Few moments later Red has arrived at the Green's mansion, tired, and sleepy as Leaf helps him to his room. Step by step they both entered his room as Leaf closes the door behind them. She slowly releases Red as he lay down on the bed. Leaf grabs the blanket and covered him with the soft sheets. Leaf bended over, tears were still in her eyes and she kissed his forehead. She was about to leave until Red grabbed her arm.
"Don't leave me Leaf…I need you here…I've missed you the most." Red sleepily said. Leaf smiled as she lay down on the bed next to him and cuddled him against his chest as he put an arm around her shoulder in a protective manner. They lay like that for a while until Leaf broke the silence.
"I was scared Red." Leaf simply said. Red looked down at her as she stared back into his Red eyes.
"I was scared that, I wasn't going to see you again." Leaf sadly said as tears fell from her cheeks. Red smiled as he wipes the tears off of her eyes and leans in for the kiss. She kisses him back and released each other.
"I'm truly sorry Leaf…but…I'm glad I'm home…back to the my family…back to you." Red softly whispered to her. Leaf cried against his chest as she embraced him tighter.
"You idiot…I love you…if you were gone…I have nothing to live for…I'll kill myself!" Leaf muffled against his chest. Red's face turned serious when he heard that she's going to kill herself if he wasn't there.
"Don't say such stupid things Leaf, if something were to happen to me, I want you to keep on living. Be happy." Red responded back with a whisper. Leaf pulled back away from his wet chest as she looked at him.
"But I-" Leaf was silenced once Red put a finger against her lips.
"Shh…Leaf…I need you…" Red whispered to her as he planted a small kiss on her lip, enough for her to be paralyzed. She then kissed back as their kisses deepened. Leaf moaned as Red begins removing her light blue tang top, revealing her white bras underneath. She then removes her white hat and his red jacket. More and more their kisses went deeper, now tonguing each other. Finally they pulled back as they look at each other in the eyes.
"Red…I need you too…" Leaf responded back to his call. Red smiled as he kisses her collar bone, as she starts moaning in pleasure. Red then reaches behind her back to remove her white bra as it unclips at the end. Red looked at her as though if she is ready for that.
"Are you sure Leaf…?" Red asked her. Leaf looks back at Red and nodded her head. She then licks Red's cheek in a lustful manner that got Red even more hot and burning as he deepened the kiss even further and gently push her against the bed.
'She's so cute…' Red thought as he starts trailing kisses on her neck as she moans some more.
Back in Vermillion City's dock, a light green hair man named Proton looked up at the sky and gave a long sigh.
"You owe me one partner; I sure hope you tell them sooner or later." Proton simply said as he got on the boat and ride off.
