Chapter 14:

Leon woke up to see nothing but darkness. He was still in his Lucario form. He tired to go human, but failed. He tried again only to fail again. He looked around. There were a few lights here and there, but they were just little green ones. Switching over to his aura view, he saw Sierra on the bed beside. Sierra was on her side with their egg nesting by her stomach. She had a small ring of bandages around her chest. Leon got up and walked over to the window. He looked up and saw that the window to the pent house he was staying at had already replaced. Thanks to his aura view, he was able to see April, Millie, and Yuna all asleep in their room at he pent house. Leon turned and looked toward the door. There was faint strip of light at the bottom of the door. Leon walked over and opened it. A few Raichu were cleaning the halls.
"Hello." One of the Raichu said as he walked past. "Didn't mean to wake ya."
"I woke up on my own." Leon responded.
"Leon right?" The Raichu asked.
"Yes I am Leon." Leon said.
"You've been out since that attack this morning. I'm glad to see your up. The cafeteria is still open." And on that note, the Raichu went back to work with other Raichu.
Leon walked down the hall. He pasted several empty rooms along the way. Finally he found the cafeteria. Leon walked in. A few lights light up the small area filled with chairs, tables and a lunch counter. A Chansey manned the register.
"Hello." The Chansey said with a cheery voice. "Would you like some Oran or Night berries?"
"Night berries please." Leon said.
Chansey walked over to a small cooler and pulled out a bowl of night berries. Leon took them and sat down. He ate slowly trying to recall the events of the morning.
Leon spent about an hour just trying to recall events of the morning. A sudden explosion caught everyone's attention. Leon ran out into the hall. A shadow figure was cloaked in a large amount of smoke was in the hall. As it stepped forward, Leon looked on is disbelief. The same Toxicroak from before was back. Most of its head had grown back, but several pieces of its skull were still visible. It stood up, just barely able to support itself. It raised its weapon and fired a rocket. The rocket whizzed by Leon's head flying down to the end of the hall. Leon didn't even have to move to avoid the shot.
"This thing is dying." Leon could see that the Toxicroak's body was starting to decay from the inside using his aura view.
The Toxicroak attempted to say something but its jaw fell off. It was beginning to decay a rapid rate. It fired its weapon again. Leon charged forward and threw a fist into its gut. Leon's hand went clean threw Toxicroak. Sludge like ooze poured out of the gaping hole in The Toxicroak's gut. It aimed and fired point blank into Leon's shoulder. A small rocket plowed into Leon's shoulder, but did not detonate. Leon cried out in pain. Several of the patients were in the hall by this time. A team of Raichu charged down the hall.
"What the hell?" the lead Raichu said. A Blissey walked out of the hole in the wall which the Toxicroak had come form. She was badly wounded. "What happened here?"
"That thing was dead when I began to cut it open. It grabbed me as its head grew back and then took off." The Blissey said. "I found a rocket tag emblem in the back of its neck."
Leon pulled his arm out of the Toxicroak. He jumped up and fired a pair of Aura Spheres into the Toxicroak's shoulders. Both arms fell off. More ooze spilled onto the floor. The Toxicroak fell over as it began to decay at an ever-increasing rate.
"What was that thing?" Leon asked. He pulled the undetonated rocket out of his shoulder and dropped it. This time, it went off as it hit the floor. Leon was sent crashing into the wall. The body of the Toxicroak flew into the opposite wall leaving a huge splash of ooze behind as it slid down the wall.
Leon fell to the ground, but this time, he was barely conscious. A large hole in his shoulder was bleeding pretty badly.
A Chansey rushed over to help Leon just as Sierra walked out of her room. She saw Leon and ran over. "Leon, what happened?" she asked.
"Something attacked him." Chansey said pointing to a bunch of bones covered in ooze. The metallic weapon was still lying there.
"Someone get Alexia." The wounded Blissey said.
"I'm fine." An angry voice stormed through the pokemon center. Alexia walked out of the hole in the wall with a scalpel in her side and a second one in her tail. She grabbed the first one and threw it into the floor. Alexia's eyes began to glow as the second one flew out of her tail and into wall. She had several other marks on her body.
Alexia looked over at the bones of what used to be a Toxicroak. "That thing is the Rocket's new suicide weapon." Alexia said. Leon was starting to come back to his senses.
"Suicide?" Leon asked. He shook his head. The Chansey had his shoulder bandaged by this time.
"It seems to be able to regenerate at a rate beyond physical boundaries only to have the effect reverse later on." Alexia said.
A phone began to ring. Alexia checked her cell. "This had better be good." She snapped. "How the hell? That can't be right?" Alexia's voice showed more and more signs of anger. "I'll personally gather a strike force." Alexia shouted hanging up on the person who called.
"What's going on?" Leon asked.
"Seven more deaths happened over a twelve hour period. Each one was shot in the back of the head with a tri-barrel weapon. A set of red R's were left at each kill." Alexia said.
"Wait, seven deaths?" Leon thought he had heard wrong.
"That's right seven. And we found three decaying corpses at three of the sites. We will meet with the Rebellion as planned, you're gonna lead our team in and out, no arguments." Alexia snapped. One the Chansey in the room tried to bandage Alexia up, but she was pushed off. "Get off me." Alexia shouted.

The rest of the night was quite. Leon and Sierra were signed out and allowed to return to the pent house that they had been using. April, Millie, and Yuna were all asleep. Sierra headed for their room. Leon walked over to the new window. He had a lot to think about. First there was the attack made against the PPF HQ during his promotion run. Second, there was the events back at the Denjiko Gym site, involving the discovery of the De-evolution weapons as well as that mutant Houndoom attack. Then there were the attacks made against himself and several other SSS ranking officers and Hunters. He could only image what would happen next. For the first time, he was beginning to question his abilities. He had narrowly escaped the attack on the PPF HQ. Then at the Denjiko Gym site, it cost Brandon his current body just to stop the mutant. Then over the last few days, he nearly died three times against this newest Rocket creation.
It all boiled down to small selection of possible conclusions. Team Rocket would have to be taken down, but if they got much stronger, then it was going to take both the Rebellion and the PPF to stop them. The problem was getting the PPF to see this. The Rebellion already knew that they needed help. There was no argument there. If they failed to get any help, the station would come crashing down. The station alone could wipe out a few hundred thousand. During the confusion, Team Rocket could easily take over. However, the PPF could just as easily take out the station while it was still in space. A few well place bombs installed within the new set of thrusters that the station needed could easily alter its course away from Earth so it would detonate in space. There were many more paths of which to look at, but all of them ended with one of four possible conclusions. Either the Rebellion would win, Team Rocket would win, or the PPF would win. The last option, which was by far the worst, would be that all three factions end up destroying each other in which case any semi-large fourth party could take over whatever was left of the world.
Leon finally walked to his room. Sierra was lying down with the egg in a small crib next the bed. The egg was wrapped in the Lucario like it always was.
"You've been acting slightly strange lately." Sierra said, a bit of worry in her voice.
"There have been a lot of things going on lately." Leon replied.
"You're worried about what will happen." Sierra said.
"I've seen many possible futures. Very few of them come out good." Leon said. He took a seat on the bed.
"Just remember, you only see pieces of the future. Remember that time when you saw a Pikachu get attacked in the forest, so you took a longer way home just to see if it was real." Sierra said.
"That's right. There was a Pikachu that did get attacked, but it was all part of a movie that was being shot." Leon remembered the event clearly.

Flashback
Leon was walking through the forest. He had seen a vision while meditating earlier that day about a Pikachu getting attacked in the forest. As a result, Leon decided to take the forest route to get back home.
Leon was almost at the end of the forest when he heard the sounds of small explosion. Leon moved quickly morphing over to his Lucario form. Leon charged in just in time to stop a Ice Beam attack from hitting a Pikachu in the back. Leon was about to return the attack with an Aura Sphere when a voice rang out in the forest.
"CUT!"
A Machop walked out of the trees. Several camera pokemon did the same.
"What the?" Leon was shocked. He morphed back into his human form.
"Stinking Morphite." The Machop muttered under it breathe. The Pikachu that seemed to be the star of the movie had a look of anger on her face.
"I heard that." Leon said.
"Nice job. We'll have to restart the hole scene again." The Machop complained. "Might I ask you're so I know whom I'm yelling at?"
"My name is Leon, A rank Bounty Hunter." Leon responded.
"Leon?" the Pikachu said. "You're Leon. The Leon that took out a Rocket outpost by himself."
"I am. Sorry for the interruption, but it is in my nature to investigate explosions of any size." Leon said.
"I think we can forgive him." The Pikachu said. "You did save my brother after all."
"That was nothing. Now, if you'll excuse me, my wife is at home waiting." Leon turned and walked off.

"Yea. I'll give yea credit for that. Just because I see images doesn't mean that I've seen the whole event." Leon said.
"See, even with your future sight, you never have the whole story." Sierra seemed to know just how to cheer Leon up a bit.
"I guess I have been working to hard lately. I haven't really thought this through yet." Leon said.
"I understand why. Having three attempts on you life in just one week can be tough." Sierra said.
"What can I say. Being a Bounty Hunter with my success rate has made me quite a few enemies. That and working for Starblazer on the side all adds up to a stressful life." Leon said.
"Here, let me help you deal with some of that stress." Sierra kissed Leon sliding her tongue into Leon's mouth as she kissed. Leon caught on real fast and joined her in the kiss. They two only broke the kiss for air. "Did that help any?" Sierra asked.
"A little." Leon joked.

Author Note: the next chapter will be a lemon. Next, I'm gonna skip ahead a bit to when the egg hatches and Millie gives birth. I won't any more chapters after that until the end of the month and I have the final results on the poll I posted. I do have some friends who have read my story and have given me their votes in person because they don't feel like making accounts. They're just lazy if you ask me. I'll leave a not in my Profile stating the final results at the end of the month.
