Surprise! I'm bored again, so I'm releasing an early chapter.
"What do you want?!" asked the president of Silph Co. as Giovanni stood before him alongside his Persian. A helicopter was parked on the roof, alongside many Team Rocket grunts, with the Silph Co. building towering over Saffron City.
"We need the access codes for the Kanto power grid," uttered Giovanni. "Give them to us, and you will be spared."
"It's not that simple," replied the president. "The Kanto government can override anything we do with the power grid."
"Well, they'll have to stop us first," replied Giovanni as he pulled out a pistol. "Give. Me. The codes."
"Alright, alright!" exclaimed the president. "They're on my computer in my office."
"Thank you," replied Giovanni. "Now here's a parting gift."
Giovanni pulled the trigger of his pistol, sending the president to the ground with a gaping hole in his head.
"Get me those codes," uttered Giovanni. "We need to prepare for the frigate's arrival!"
"Back on Route 7 again," uttered Terrell as he walked down the route alongside Natasha and Chris. Saffron City could be seen in the distance, and the route seemed to have one Pokémon that was quite common: Mankey.
"So Chris, ready for the Supreme Cup?" asked Natasha.
"Yeah, I am," replied Chris. "I'm also excited to see some old friends when I transfer over Pokémon."
"Decided on who you're bringing over already?" asked Terrell. Chris nodded in response.
"I've decided on bringing in Infernape, Staraptor, and Scizor," replied Chris. "They're fast and versatile, though I might swap them out as time passes by."
"I hope they're getting along with my Pokémon," replied Terrell as he thought back to his journey through Sinnoh and the Pokémon who accompanied him. Twiggy, Electro, Chikara, Pippy, and Inferno were all back in Sinnoh at his parents' ranch, socializing and biding their time until the Indigo Conference, where Terrell would call them back in for the battles ahead.
"Our Pokémon are a crazy bunch, aren't they?" asked Natasha. "Of course, I don't catch them for any specific purpose. I just like having them around as companions as I travel."
"Giovanni, you're gonna want to see this security," uttered Dr. Zager via a hologram. "Sending it to you now."
Giovanni began watching the clip via the computer in the Silph Co. president's office, which he was using as his temporary seat of power in the building. The footage showed Jessie, James, Meowth, and an unknown Team Rocket grunt sneaking into Dr. Zager's lab, snatching the Prison Bottle, and running off with it.
"This'll show Giovanni," uttered Meowth as he ran off. Giovanni slammed his fist on the desk in anger, and reactivated the hologram to speak with Dr. Zager.
"I trusted those three with vital information, and now they go about sabotaging our operations?!" exclaimed Giovanni. "I want their heads on MY desk by the end of this operation! Who knows what they did with the bottle?"
"I can control Hoopa without it, but if they use the bottle to free him, my ray can't counter it," uttered Dr. Zager. "So it's risky to use Hoopa."
"Use him anyways," replied Giovanni. "I just want to see those traitors dead for betraying our cause."
As the group walked down the route, they eventually came across a group of Team Rocket grunts confronting a squad of police officers. An International Police van could be seen on the road, with three individuals and a Meowth inside.
"Give us the traitors and nobody gets hurt," uttered a Team Rocket captain. The leader of the International Police forces, a man in a brown jacket, smirked.
"It'll take more than words to convince us," uttered Looker as he snapped his fingers. A Croagunk suddenly emerged from a nearby bush, tackling the captain and incapacitating him. The rest of the grunts pulled out their Pokémon, and began to fight the International Police and their Pokémon.
"Hide," uttered Terrell as he hid in a bush. Natasha and Chris did the same in another bush, while the fight happened before them. Eventually, it came down to Looker's Croagunk, and a grunt's Electrode.
"Thunderbolt," uttered the grunt. Electrode let out a blast of electricity that knocked back Croagunk into the side of the truck. Croagunk seemed injured due to the battle before, but held on.
"Poison Jab," uttered Looker. Croagunk lashed out at Electrode with a fierce hand strike, coated in poison.
"Suji, I have an idea," uttered Terrell as he let out Suji from his Poké Ball. "We can help that Croagunk and speed up our trip to Saffron."
As the battle before them raged on, Terrell waited for an opportunity to send Suji in. Eventually, that opportunity came when Electrode was pinning down Croagunk and using Tackle.
"Now Suji!" exclaimed Terrell. "Use Brick Break on Electrode!"
Suji leapt out of the bush at Electrode, smashing him with a fierce karate chop. Looker and the grunt were astonished to see intervention from another Trainer. As Electrode fainted, blue energy enveloped Suji, signifying evolution.
"Looks like this was a good idea after all," uttered Terrell. Eventually, Suji emerged as a Machamp, shoving his fists into the air relentlessly.
"Run!" exclaimed the grunt as he fled alongside the others. Looker cleaned off his jacket before looking at Terrell in respect.
"It's not every day that a random trainer helps the police," uttered Looker. "Thanks."
"No problem," replied Terrell. "Truth is, I just wanted to end it quickly so me and my friends could get to Saffron faster."
"Hmm," replied Looker. "You mind if I get your Pokétch number? I may need your help in the future. Your friends too."
"Sure," replied Terrell as he gave Looker his number. The three of them eventually left as Looker reentered the van.
"I may have found us some extra help to assist with taking out Team Rocket in Saffron," uttered Looker.
Quite a story-heavy chapter.
