Episode Twenty-Nine: Escaping the Cage

After explaining my plan to the rebellion leaders. (Which I won't reveal just yet, because I'm evil like that) I waited near the cell bars for my chance. Luckily, my chance wasn't waiting around.

"Hello Hitmonchan," I called, giving my nicest and toothiest grin along with a little wave.

The fighting Pokémon completely ignored me and pressed a button on a keypad. His cage door swung open and he was about to step inside when I tried again.

"Team Rocket are bloody morons!" I yelled at him. Now that got a reaction and a half. His head shot up and he looked into my eyes for about a second. I grinned once more, which seemed to further piss the prat off. It punched the keypad thing, shattering it into hundreds of pieces.

"Nice to see I finally got your attention," I called down as it glared at me.

"You will pay for that," the brainwashed Pokémon said through gritted teeth. My brain quickly processed a sarcastic reply, which I delivered perfectly, "Do you take rocks or will berries have to do?"

I think it's brain was close to exploding thanks to my extreme annoyance, but it still reacted exactly as I wanted it too. It began yelling verious naughty words, some of which even I hadn't heard of before, while climbing up a small water pipe. It climbed up untill it was hanging just to the side of the cage I was in.

I stepped back as it swing with a free fist and smashed the lock to pieces. The cage door swung open and it lept inside, snarling so loud that even a fully grown Arcanine would flee. Of course, me being me, I didn't flee. Besides, even if I wanted to, where could I go? There only way out was past the Hitmonchan.

Naturally, I wanted to get out of the confining cage but first I had to deal with the challange in front of me. The Hitmonchan stepped closer, its arms raised and ready to pound my head. As it got into the middle of the cage, I shouted out my signal (which consisted mainly of me shouting as loud as possible) and shot forwards as Alpha dived out of the dirt by the wall and tackled the Hitmonchan from behind.

I grinned as I ran past the brawl, grabbing onto the water pipe and sliding down it as fast as I could. I could hear the Hitmonchan cursing even more, most of it directed at Alpha this time. I filed away some of the expletives for future use and set off across the floor towards the corner of the corridoor around which, I had been told, was the fire alarm button that the escape attempt hinged upon.

Just as I was about to reach it, I heard an explosion from behind. I spun round to see Alpha tumble strait out of the cage and fall several meters to the floor. I looked up at the cage entrance to spot a very pissed off looking Pokémon. The Hitmanchan lept strait out of the cage, landing without even stumbling. He stared at me and walked closer, taking his time.

Alpha managed to get to his feet and dive once more on the Hitmonchan. I was torn between helping the Vulpix and running for the button. In the end, I didn't get to make a choice as Alpha was once again sent flying by a devastating punch.

"Alpha!" I heard the Bulbasaur cry out from its vantage point in its own cage. We had definatly underestimated the fighting type. The Hitmonchan charged towards me, not wasting anymore time. It had its fist ready to decend on my face. I couldn't react in time, shock left me motionless as it got closer and closer.

It was only paces away before I came to my senses and jumped back as its fist shot down and caught me in the stomach. I would have taken severe injuries had I not been in midair and able to roll with the punch. Even so, it still knocked the wind out of me and sent me sprawling on the floor. (I seemed to be spending alot of time sprawled on the ground)

I looked up as it pulled back both its fists and was about to bring them down on my skull when a vine shot out of the cage to my left and wrapped around them. I don't know who was more suprised, me or the Hitmonchan. I looked over into the cage and saw something that I definatly wasn't expecting.

"Bellsprout!"

I was sure it was the same Bellsprout, I could smell the faint waft of perfume. Bellsprout yanked back the Hitmonchan like I've seen fisherman do when they have a catch, only not as pathetic looking. The Hitmonchan was straining his arms to try and break free but it was no good, the vines were too strong.

"Thanks Bellsprout," I called as I climbed to my feet and ran for the corner as fast as I could, I didn't know how much time I had left before a Rocket showed up. Unfortunatly, it turned out that I didn't have any at all. Just as I was reaching the corner, one stepped around it and spotted everything that was going on.

"Aw crap," the Rocket said. My thoughts were exactly the same.
