Ch. 16 The Seventh Challenge
On Quest Island on trainer hill outside the trainer tower Zachary, Avery, Curt, and Kara sit on top of the hill waiting for the final challenge to begin.
"Why is the wait for these things so long?" Curt says bored sitting on the hill.
"Complaining won't make it go faster, and besides shouldn't you be preparing or do you want to lose?" Zachary says sitting beside Curt.
They both start laughing loudly while Avery and Kara sit around waiting, with Avery fidgeting around.
"So Kara, I hope you do well in this challenge." Avery says looking towards the ground.
"Yeah, hope you do well to." Kara says staring at the tower.
"Um, I've been meaning to ask you something for a while now, but I never had an opportunity till now." Avery says trying to get Kara's attention. "Kara, when this is over" Avery says trying to say something to her.
Kara get's up and walks towards the tower ignoring Avery's words.
"It's starting we're gonna be late." Kara says looking back at Avery dismissively.
As the group gathers at the top of the hill a monitor on the tower turns on.
"Hello trainers." Celio says as he appears on a monitor on the tower. "Okay now, this is the final challenge you'll take on the Trainer Tower. All four of you will climb up to the roof the tower and the first person to reach the top will be the winner and win this special Kings Rock." Celio says explaining things to the group.
As he says this an image of a golden Kings Rock appears on screen in front of the group.
"So then who ever can reach the top will when the whole thing, so everyone do your best." Celio says to the group.
The screen then fads to black, as the group enters the trainer tower.
"Now then trainers each of you will take one of these four paths, where you'll battle the hologram trainers on your run to the top." Celio says over the loud speaker as each of them begins climbing up the various stairs.
Back in the control room the girl has taken off her Celio disguise and watches the monitors on the trainers climbing the tower.
"I bet your all wondering why we hijacked your little competition aren't you." She says taunting the restrained Bill, Celio, and Daisy.
"Now now Seria bragging isn't becoming of a young lady." A large man in a baseball cap walks in and scolds the girl.
"Oh come on Oran let me brag a little were so close to completing our goal let me brag a little." Seria says complaining to Oran.
"No, no haven't you ever read a comic or something it's when you reveal you plans that the heroes come up with a counter and beat you." Oran says to the girl.
As they talk a noise comes over the Poke'gear.
"That's the signal, how's out girl doing?" Oran says as he looks on the monitors.
"Well even if we can't get full control of the tower we can still trick it. I've managed to hack into the system, I've cranked it up for the other three but she's running on easy mode." Seria says over looking on the monitors.
"Soon the crown will be ours and the final steps of the operation will be complete and then Team Rocket will rise across the region." Oran says as he turns away.
Suddenly the door swings opens and an exhausted Kara comes through it.
"Well if it isn't the new Rocket Elites." She says as she walks up to the pair.
"Well you're counted amongst us as well now, aren't you little Miss." Seria says as she stands up.
"Well now computer give this girl her prize why don't you." Seria yells towards the monitors before a pair of arms comes down holding a golden kings rock and hands it to Kara.
"Now that we've accomplished our goals here we should be moving along." Oran says as he walks towards the doors. "Now then let's head to the Tonoby Ruins, our leader is waiting." Oran says to the group as they leave the room.
As they begin to walk towards the edge of the roof.
"Hold it!" Zachary says as he rushes to the rood alongside a Dewott. "Dew Air Slash." Zachary yells to Dewott.
Dewott takes its scalchop and slices the air creating a gust of air.
"Machamp block it." Oran says as he throws out a Poke'ball
Suddenly a large Machamp comes out and blocks the blow.
"A weak blow like that will never hurt my Machamp." Oran says boasting.
"I thought bragging wasn't becoming?" Seria says yelling at the man.
"It's not becoming or women." Oran says in response.
"Oh you hypocrite." Seria yells back.
"Well if that's not enough try this, Tomb Psychic." Curt says rushing onto the scene.
Suddenly Machamp get's pushed back by a blast of energy, barely staying on the roof.
"Very impressive, you've improved boy." Oran says to Curt.
"Well I always seek to improve old man." Curt says boasting back.
The man and the others grab onto the group of Fearow.
"I'd like to have a real battle with you boy, but I have no time." Oran says as he grabs the Fearow's leg.
The Fearow take off and head to the south.
"Wait get back her Team Rocket." Zachary yells out as he tries to get onto his Togekiss.
"Ditto." Seria says looking down.
Suddenly the floor comes and grabs a hold of everyone on the roof.
"See ya later mister PI." Seria says boasting to Zachary
"Rallen Brick Break." Avery says as he reaches the roof. "Kara." Avery says as he looks into the distance seeing Kara fleeing.
