Hey so this weird thing happened… people reviewed and I got this strange feeling where I wanted to write so I did… and you get another chapter…
Odd huh?
Chapter 22
/B/
"I'd like to start with how you know Fire" Sabrina seemed surprised
"You honestly don't know?" The girl turned her head smiling at him "oh dear… She's my Mistress's daughter" Blue stayed calm
"Really should have guessed… no one can fuck up someone quite like Scarlet Red" Sabrina shrugged
"I'll admit the training is rough but she saved me and I'm sure to Fire she's her mother" She noticed his eyes narrow "I wouldn't worry about a test of loyalty Scarlet is dead otherwise I wouldn't be here right now"
"I doubt that Sabrina" Blue sighed "the evidence is too… much for her to be dead"
"Or you just want to finish her yourself" Sabrina said turning herself completely around now though the gun was still pointed at her face "face it Huntsman, Scarlet is gone and she left nothing but a broken child as her heir" Blue shook his head at her
"Or Sabrina she abandoned you, because when it comes down to it no one means anything to Scarlet just her vision of her perfect world" The girl lashed out then moving forward with her knife Blue twisted it out of her hand and had the gun under her chin within seconds.
"She would never abandon me!" Sabrina hissed falling to her knees the gun stayed where it was
"She abandoned that child didn't she?"
"Fire ran after what happened to her brother! She ran away! To be honest I'm surprised you have no idea about any of this" Sabrina still had her pride Blue noted as he put the gun away. The girl knew nothing that much was obvious.
"Well you were of no use. See you around Sabrina" he walked away returning his Pokémon.
"You're just going to leave me here?" she called after him
"If you plan to not attack me and just disappear yes…. But if you make any other move I'm not giving you a second chance"
With that the boy left he still had a few things to do before Fire and Leaf finished their fights he just had to follow the hot air.
/F/
Surge was ether an idiot or had a plan she had no idea about.
Fire doubted the second option to be honest.
Right now she was so happy she was small enough to scurry about the air vents she just needed to move far enough away that she could make a…
"The hell…?" Looking through the vent she could see a room that contained a large vat surrounded by wires and devises used to measure. Surge was an almost exclusive electric type trainer so on one hand it didn't seem to odd that he would have electrical equipment about. Quickly with a deft hand she removed the vent as quietly as she could before moving into the room.
Looking over the room she took note of the readings far too high for the Pokémon Surge seemed to have. Even the Electrabuzz didn't seem powerful enough to get these kinds of readings…
Fire backed away her mind going over the facts and making the realization as she connected the ratings and images she was now seeing of the legendary bird Zapdos's wings.
"We need to regroup because this is going to get messy"
/L/
Leaf felt his legs go weak
"What the hell…"
"What? You thought I'd miss that many times kiddo?" Leaf collapsed and glared at Koga who appeared. "So what are you going to do now?"
/F/
Fire sprung out of the air vent into the original room to find Scratch and the Electrabuzz still going at it on their own. Strike flew in at the sound still trading blows with the Raichu.
"So back where we started?" Surge was behind her, Fire turned smiling.
"Now it's time for the real fight" She explained "All or nothing" the man laughed releasing a Magneton which sent out a thunder shock without being prompted. Fire dodged moving fast to the right of the other trainer. A Magnemite barrelled towards her so she side stepped easily.
Strike and the Raichu were nearing the end of their battle both tired and covered in wounds.
"Strike slam!" hearing the command the Pokémon leaped forward as fast as possible and hit the other Pokémon hard into the wall not letting up. Raichu was finished and so was Strike at least for the time being he could barely stand up.
Fire couldn't make heads or tails of Scratch's match so instead she returned the team mate and mentally prepared herself for her next and possibly last move. She released Ivy who began to glow and grow larger. Fire smirked calling out her attack
"Ivy poison powder!" the attack from the Venasaur flew towards Surge who moved out of range holding his breath and carefully not allowing the spores into his body.
"Is that all you have Fire?" he asked pulling out his gun. Fire kicked a table up using it for cover and picked up Vital. The Eevee's ears twitched and it gestured with its head forward. Fire nodded to Ivy who then prepared.
Quickly Fire threw away the table and Ivy sent out a great storm of leaves right towards the thunder Pokémon and Surge. Fire moved around the side and while both were distracted threw the Eevee into the air. The small Pokémon landed in a slam and preceded the use toxic further disadvantaging the metal creature.
"Slam again Vital!" the creature obeyed before being thrown of the hard to balance surface of the foe.
"Ivy vine whip!" the grass Pokémon caught the Magneton up in it's vines and threw it at Surge who was shocked by his own Pokémon. Surge was unconscious and so was the Pokémon.
Fire walked over to the side of the room and removed her hat from the wall.
"Few distractions were all I needed… That was for Draty bastard" She pulled the hat down over her eyes and walked past the elevator and to the stairs.
She took each one two at a time and checked the doors as she went for the first three levels (apparently she was about ten levels higher in the building then when she had started) nothing of interest was going on from what she could tell from the small windows in each of the doors.
However it was the fourth floor down she had to stop and hide (no one had come looking for her yet and she had not plan to aggravate the situation). It was a difficult activity since there was no solid wall to hide her (she moved as close to the wall by the stairs going up and hopped the thin metal fence on the other side would somehow obscure her). The two Rocket grunts on the floor bellow stopped on the landing to speak.
"We were just bringing her food the bitch" one said obviously frazzled.
So there's a prisoner on this floor? Fire wondered to herself moving closer to the bars to listen.
"You'd think from the way she was acting she was related to the other two little brats as well" that almost stopped Fire's heart was it possible? There was some sort of static sound and a beep the first grunt pulled out a kind of radio and listened.
"Rodger" he turned to the other one "apparently the Hunter kid is causing trouble" the other shook his head.
"Seriously you'd think Sabrina could handle a little kid!" with that the two were off, thankfully down to a much lower level.
Fire's original plan had been to get down to where Leaf was as quickly as possible before going to find Blue however now… If they were talking about who she thought they were talking about… She had to check that level out.
Level four was different to the level she had been on. It seemed to be more for conferences and meetings. The place was predominantly carpeted in some sort of boring navy. Fire moved easily though the corridor finding no guards. Something that surprised her but at the same time made her suspicious. This could have all been a trap.
Her steps became more tentative, she moved slower almost sliding her feet across the floor when she heard a loud noise coming from around the corner. She peeked around seeing a grunt slam a door behind her.
"You okay?" Another asked
"The Bitch threw a chair at me!" She screeched. Fire released Ivy.
"Aww… Sure she had a good reason for it!" She called rounding the corner and sending a vine whip out to the unsuspecting guards. The vine distracted the guards for a moment as a sleep powder knocked them out. Ignoring the powder Fire moved to the door hoping this wasn't a trap.
She opened the door slowly peaking though. She saw Oak sitting at a table in the small room alone staring at her hands.
"Hiya!" Fire called as she pulled the hat down over her eyes and opened the door completely.
"Fire? What are you doing here?" Oak shook her head obviously overjoyed to see the girl for some reason "never mind are you alright? Where are the other two?" the girl shrugged
"Blue went off to do his own thing a while back… Leaf and I got separated he's down on the ground floor" Oak nodded
"Let's find him then"
The first thing they noticed as they entered the room was Leaf's body. He lay on the ground curled up on himself. Oak let out some sort of choked scream running to her nephew. Fire stood there for a moment as the door of the stairs shut and she heard something.
She ran to Oak who is taking Leaf's pulse moving in front of her as the dart makes contact with her right shoulder.
Fire stops for a moment taking a deep breath as the lights go out.
She stands moving away from Oak who attempts to grab her. The girl lowered her hat and pulled the dart from her shoulder.
"How long I got?" she asks the darkness hearing a laugh reverberate across the walls.
"A matter of minutes… I thought you might be a challenge" a devil may care creeps across Fire's lips as her hand moves down her jacket.
"Well life's a bitch… also I have immunity"
She took one shot with her gun into the darkness. The sound of Koga hitting the water filled the room.
Ten bullets left!
Also for those who don't know immunity is an ability that came up in third generation that made Pokémon immune to poison (only like three Pokémon had it though).
And remember folks don't flame unless you have an extinguisher!
