"Well isn't this just wonderful." Keena said sarcastically. There were so many people and pokemon I'm front of her. Keena stood in front of the smuggled pokemon. Most of which were cowering in fear. "Now what?" Keena said out loud.
"Come girl. Surrender now and no harm will come to you." Giovanni said, holding out a hand. "Or you could join us." He said with a low chuckle. He knew this girl was a good fighter, and someone he would want in his team. Keena scowled at him.
"Never." She said in a low voice. "If you hurt my friends you will pay dearly. Let's make one thing clear. I don't want to fight, but I will." Keena looked anger lay at the Rocket leader. Giovanni looked angry at her defiance and pointed to 5 of his men.
"You five attack her now." He said. Then men obeyed him. They all ran simultaneously. Keena was ready for them. Two aimed punches at her and Keena jumped. The two stumbled and bent down from the force they were going to deliver. Keena placed a foot on each of their heads and pushed off them, their bodies hit he ground hard. She did a neat flip and landed gracefully. Than she ran for the next one. When he went to punch her, she dodged nicely and hit his shins with a kick. He crumpled to the ground and Keena wasn't near him when he hit the ground.
The last two attacked at the same time. One aimed for her legs, the other her chest area. Keena tried dodging both but was hit by the punch. It may have knocked the wind out if her but she landed on her feet. One man tried attacking again but Keena hit him in the chin with her foot. Her body was flexible so she was lucky to be able to do it. Her back curled with the kick. Then other man, the one who punched her, tried to punch her again. But failed this time.
Keena grabbed his fist and pulled it to her side. When the man fell forward she jabbed him with her elbow. She heard screaming behind her. One man who she had jumped off of their head, was up and wrapped hit arms around Keena's and her chest. Keena didn't have muscle and couldn't pull free.
"You don't got much here Hun. That's ok though. My son'll still like ya." Great he was a pervert too. Keena knew how to deal with him. One kick between the legs was enough to have him crying on he ground. Then the man who's shin she kicked tried attacking again. But as he got close, Keena's back curled. Her feet came up in the air, one foot hitting him under the chin. Keena did a perfect backflip, landing in a crouched position. The unlucky victim landed with a thud.
The five men layed on the ground in pain. Giovanni looked shocked by her skill. Most people were. The other men behind him took a couple steps. Keena stood up and looked at the pokemon behind her. They looked scared. She couldn't blame them, the poor things must have been locked up for a long time. "You can either fight for freedom! Or die a slave!" Was all she said. Then she went on offence and charged the Rockets. Nightfeather and Sunfall, alought both hurt, followed with battle cries.
The smuggled pokemon were inspired by the black and white haired girl's courage. Here she was, risking her life to free them and save their life's and they weren't helping he get out. One by one, then two by two the Unova and Kalos pokemon followed Keena into the fight. Soon there was an all out brawl
Fire, water, ice and lighting was being flung everywhere. Cries of pain and triumph was all Keena heard. She saw Sunfall fighting with an Arcanine and Purrloin was cornered by Giovanni's Persian. She went to help her but was stopped by the Rocket leader himself. He stood over a meter taller than her as he went to grab her. Not having much room to dodge, Giovanni only managed to grab her wrist. She was twisted in a way she couldn't get free. The man put hi legs in between hers to prevent a kick to the nuts.
"You've caused me trouble girl. You'll pay." He hissed in her ear. He tried handcuffing Keena but was stopped by a Bisharp. It cut the cuffs in half, giving Keena enough time to slip out of his grasp and punch him in the ribs. On a table, she saw a wine bottle. Quickly, she grabbed it and hit Giovanni over the head, knocking him out. She looked at the taller Bisharp who seemed to understand. He grabbed the knocked out leader and threw him to the back behind the other Rockets.
"They knocked out Giovanni!" Shouted someone. All Rocket grunts stopped fighting and looked at their leader, laying on the ground. While they were distracted, all the smuggled pokemon made a run for it. Keena, Nightfeather and Sunfall stayed back to let the others run first. Just as they climbed the staircase they heard a command. "All Arcanine and Golbat attack them!" Just then 2 Golbat and Arcanine ran behind them. Then a Dark Pulse attack whizzed by Keena. She watched as the Rocket pokemon fainted. They were all hurt from the fight.
"Thank you Bisharp." Keena said gratefully to the pokemon. He nodded and they continued. She looked back and realized nobody was chasing them. In a group, all the smuggled pokemom ran for the opened door. Nobody was in the main room, most likely still looking the halls or treating bruises and wounds. They all walked out of the cave and outside, Keena saw the police rounding up grunts and pokemon. Keena saw Jenny and ran to her, the pokemon following her.
"Officer Jenny! I got the pokemon out." Keena said. Nightfeather and Sunfall were on her shoulders and Bisharp stood at her side. "All other men and woman are inside."
"What were you thinking!? You went into the Team Rocket base by yourself! You have courage but that was crazy!" Jenny shouted. She was angry at Keena. But her angry look was replaced with a relieved one. "Well you are ok now. Leave the weaker pokemon with us and we will take them to the pokemon center later. Can I trust you to take the stronger ones there?" Jenny suggested.
"Of course! No problem." She said to Jenny. Keena turned to the Unova and Kalos pokemon. The majority of them were laying on the ground sleeping. Few were awake. "If anyone can still walk I'll take you to the pokemon center." The Bisharp, a Stoutland, Sawsbuck and Noivern all got and and stood by Keena.
They all walked in the woods in silence. Bisharp broke that silence. "Thank you moon girl. You saved my life." It said simply. Keena looked at him strangely. She had never been called "moon girl" before. But she assumed it must be because of her hair.
"No problem. I would have gotten anyone out of there. And my name is Keena." She told the taller pokemon. The Noivern flew above. He didn't seem very scared. Stoutland walked beside Bisharp. Both had calm looks. Sawsbuck was running around near them. Happy to be out of a cage.
"My name is Stannis" said the Bisharp. "That Stoutland's name is Voile. Noivern is Toka and Sawsbuck is Ciero." Bisharp introduced Keena to the pokemon.
"We all thank you for the rescue." Voile said.
"Thanks a lot Keena! Never thought I'd get ta fly again!" Said Toka. It had a nasally voice. "I never had a trainer and don't want one. Don't think I could stand being commanded all the time. I'm a loner, don't need no one else." It said and crawled on the ground.
"Everyone has their preferences. I've got no intention of being your trainer." Keena said and yawned. "Awe man, when was the last time I slept?" She said more to herself. Sunfall and Nightfeather were asleep on her shoulders and just made her feel like a dead weight.
"Voile and I have been in training for the police force. We were stolen by Team Rocket. We know how to get to the city because we have been there before." Stannis said. "I could carry you if you would allow it. Voile can carry the brave Eevee and the thief Purrloin." Stannis suggested. Keena was to tired to resist. She walked over it Voile and place Nightfeather and Sunfall neatly on his back. Stannis help a hand out to Keena.
She was immedietly pulled into Stannis' arms. He carried her bridal style. Keena looked at the clear sky staring at the stars and moon. She soon fell asleep.
The pokemon continued walking down the path. "Do you think the police force will still allow us back in Voile?" Stannis said to the dog. Stannis and Voile wanted into the force but were cut short after being kidnapped.
"Most likely" said Voile. Toka flew in the air, enjoying the feeling of wind on his skin again.
"I can't wait to go home again! The rangers will be missing me." He said. The landed beside Stannis and looked at the small girl being carried bridal style. "She's real nice this girl. I like her."
"She is nice. Skilled to." Stannis said. He admired Keena for her bravery and fighting skills. "We should be in the town soon."
"Good my leg is getting sorer by the moment. Well I can't wait to get back to my trainer. He's a good guy. His kids are cute too!" Said the ever energetic Sawsbuck. Ciero limped beside Voile. The group could see the lights ahead and ran the rest of the way. It was morning when they arrived. People stared at the foreign pokemon as they marched into the pokemon center. Sadly, Nurse Joy couldn't understand their language.
Keena was taken to a room and the pokemon into care. They all got treatment quickly and because they all didn't want to be in the treatment room, they were all allowed to stay with Keena.
Keena woke up around noon. The first thing she saw was Nightfeather and Sunfall sleeping on one side of the bed and Voile on the other. Ciero was by the corner and Toka was perched on a chair. Stannis was awake and leaning on the wall. He smiled and spoke. "The police force is outside. They would like to speak to you."
"This is going to be interesting." She said groggily. She got out of bed carefully, not wanting to wake the dog, cat and eevee. The police questioned her for about an hour. Keena was careful not to mention Nightfeather's thievery in case they might arrest her. After the interrogation, Keena met the pokemon in her room again. She told them she was speaking to the police.
"So what are you all going to do now?" Keena asked. The pokemon looked unsure. Toka spoke first.
"I'm gonna fly back home." He said simply.
"I'll catch the next ship home!" Ciero said. He wanted to go home and be with the people who raised him.
"Stannis and I are going to get involved with the force. We don't have trainers and we want to get involved with taking down people like Giovanni" Voile said. Stannis nodded. "The other pokemon are also going home via boat or airplane so don't worry about them."
While the pokemon were talking, Nightfeather was silent. Keena noticed. "What about you Nightfeather?" She asked.
The cat looked uncertain. "I don't know. I don't have a trainer. I had no friends in Unova too. And if I did go back the other street pokemon will make fun of me for getting caught." She said queitly.
Keena bent down so she was eye level with the cat. She help her hand out to the saddened cat. "How about you come with me and Sunfall? Come with us on our Pokemon journey!" She suggested. Keena liked Nightfeather. Nightfeather looked at Keena with tear in her eyes.
"You mean it? Do you really want a thief like me on your team?" She said. Keena just smiled.
"It doesn't matter. I know who you are so what does it matter?" She said. Nightfeather jumped into her arms.
"Of course I'll come with you! Your my first friend Keena!" Nightfeather cried into her chest. She then looked up with a smile.
Later that day the group spilt up and Nightfeather good her own pokeball. They waved Stannis and Voile off to the force. They said goodbye to Ciero who hopped on a boat and saw Toka fly off home. The trio walked into the forest to train for their pokemon gym battle.
