Hey Guys! Just a short update, This chapter has been broken up into two parts. Not because it would have been too long, but just because I needed more time to plan the second part of what was one Chapter. The second part should be up in two days. Enjoy!
Chapter 29
The Hope Of The World Part 1
Jason slowly awoke. Before he even opened his eyes, he realized that his lower body was sore. He opened his eyes a bit and realized that he was in Cherie's room still and still in the bed. Last night was a blur, but there were still things that he remembered that he wished he didn't. He looked to his left and saw Cherie lying under the covers and cuddled up next to him. Her slow calm breathing meant that she was still sleeping. Jason tried to move but couldn't get his hands up. He looked and realized that he had been bound to the bed by pink, fuzzy handcuffs. He tried to break free, but couldn't.
"You're not going to get free." Cherie said with a yawn as she slowly woke up. "But why would you want to leave me?" She sat up.
Jason looked at her and felt sudden arousal as the covers slipped off Cherie as she sat up. She looked at him and smirked.
"See anything you like?" She said as she pulled the covers back over her.
Jason was blushing badly. Cherie smiled and moved closer to him.
"You are even cuter when you blush." She giggled and kissed her.
Jason found himself, involuntarily kissing her back. He stopped when he realized what he was doing.
"Miss Cherie?" Jason said as Cherie pulled out of the kiss.
"Yes." She replied with a sweet innocent smile.
"May I be set free from these handcuffs?" Jason asked.
Cherie giggled again. She reached over to a small key that was on the dresser near the bed. She put it into her mouth. She then kissed him again and used her tongue to move the key into his mouth. She pulled out of the kiss and giggled again.
"Only if you can get out yourself." She smirked and got up with the covers still wrapped around her. "Oh and don't forget to clean up. You were quite the dirty boy last night." She winked and blew him a kiss.
Jason blushed even more. He was confused at the way he was acting. He had a girlfriend and he loved her, yet he had cheated on her and was flirting with another girl and he was enjoying it!
"What is wrong with me?..." Jason said to himself. "…..Oh well, I'll have plenty of time to think about it once I get out of here and take a shower."
Jason moved the key to where it was sticking out of his mouth and attempted to unlock the handcuffs.
…
The cool morning breeze kept Brian from falling back asleep as he sat on the beach and looked over a map of Seafoam Island with had the entire Rocket compound as well as the mansion mapped out. The group had mapped out the entire attack last night and had planned out every little detail. Brian was stressed out and half asleep as he took a second look over the map. The group had camped out last night on a beach south of Fuchsia. They had been up late last night and it was now early morning and Brian was the only one awake. He looked out into the ocean and watched the Goldeens and Seakings splash around. He took a deep breath, breathing in the cold air.
"Hey." A voice said behind him and someone sat next to him.
Brian yawned and looked over.
"Couldn't sleep either?" He asked.
"Not really." Everlynn replied with a small laugh. "Not use to getting much sleep anyway."
"Well, I'm glad you could be here." Brian smiled. "What have you been doing since you left?"
"Long story short…" Everlynn said. "Let's just say I've been giving Team Rocket a hard time for invading my home."
"Team Rocket's in Hoenn too?" Brian said a little shocked. "How was your family? Are they okay?"
"Yeah." Everlynn smiled. "I was so thankful that they were unharmed. My older brother had actually hooked up with the Hoenn resistance movement. He had kept my parents safe."
"That's good." Brian nodded. "So things were going good?"
"For the most part….That is until this weird Pokémon showed up. The Pokémon would have been an incredible sight if it wasn't trying to kill us."
"What Pokémon was it?"
"It was indescribable. It was a Team Rocket super weapon. It's also the reason I'm here. I need to find out its weakness and what better place to look then the Rocket Headquarters?"
"True…I guess that means that you'll be going back after you find the plans to that super weapon?"
"Sadly yes…I've missed you guys though." Everlynn smiled.
"We've missed you too." Brian smiled back. "Jason's been messing up his life since you left."
"I bet so. Alice told me what had happened." Everlynn frowned.
"I guess you still haven't forgiven him, huh?"
"No." She shook her head. "I'm going to help you guys save him and Kelly, but that doesn't mean that I've forgiven either of them."
"I understand." Brian smirked. "I owe Jason a little payback myself."
"That so?" Everlynn returned the smirk. "Well whatever he did he deserves it."
…
Jason stepped out of the shower. Even the warm, almost burning water, couldn't wash away the dirtiness and shame that he felt. His skin was red from the heat of the water. Jason quickly put on clean clothes and headed back to his small, but well furbished room. Jason just wanted to get away from all this. He wanted to be back traveling with Kelly and all his friends. He wanted to be happy again. His male hormones, however, were going crazy after last night. There was no lying, he had enjoyed it and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't trick himself into believing he hadn't. Jason laid down on his bed and closed his eyes. His thoughts mainly focused on how he missed his family, friends, and his Pokémon. He was worried about what was happening to Shinx and his other Pokémon, but he was really worried about Kelly. Would he ever get to see her again?
"I don't know if I'll ever get to see her again." Jason thought. "I miss her, but I don't know if I'll see her again. Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing that had happen between me and Cherie. I don't think I'll ever see Kelly again; Maybe Cherie is the girl I'm supposed to end up with. She is nice to me and not to mention extremely beautiful."
Jason though about Cherie a bit before shaking those thoughts away. Something was seriously wrong with him. Why was he thinking that way? Maybe some of Cherie's insanity rubbed off on him.
"Oh Jason!" Cherie sang as she opened the door to Jason's room. "Come on, you're coming with me to go see the boss."
Cherie was dressed in her Rocket Executive Uniform. She was wearing a long sleeved black shirt with a jacket with sleeves that went a little past her elbows. The jacket had a small red R on the upper right side of the jacket. The shirt and the jacket stopped half way down her stomach and she was wearing tight white shorts that went down above her knees. She also wore white boots with black soles. She also had on black gloves. Her hair was now blonde and her eyes were now light silver. Jason realized now that Cherie must have worn wigs and contacts to disguise her real appearance.
"Yes Miss Cherie." Jason said as he sat up, and then mentally slapped himself from saying Miss Cherie.
"You're not going dressed in your servant's uniform, silly!" Cherie giggled.
Several other servants came into Jason's room. They had grooming tools and supplies in their hands.
"Something tells me I'm not going to like this." He sighed.
…
Everyone was eating breakfast as Brian and Linore retold them the plan to make sure everyone knew what to do and where they needed to be. After everyone had finished eating, Linore was handing out ear piece headsets to everyone.
"Okay, so does everyone know where they're supposed to be" Brian said one more time.
"Yes!" Everyone shouted in union.
"Okay, then." Brian said. "Just want to make sure that we get this right. Defeating Team Rocket is only a secondary objective. Our primary objective is to rescue Maria, Jason, and Kelly."
"Don't worry; I'm sure we'll be successful." Akira said.
"I hope." Brian nodded. "Alright, guys! Once you finish eating, get ready to go. Each group will be riding on one of Cloud's flying Pokémon, except for Akira and Everlynn, you two will be riding on Akira's Aerodactyl. Okay, people, don't forget what you're supposed to do and if at any time things get to dangerous then I want you to get out of there."
Everyone nodded, but there was an uneasy feeling in the air. They would be attacking a Team Rocket base and there was a high chance that someone would get hurt. Brian just hope they would all come out okay.
…
The last hour had been the most uncomfortable hour of Jason's life. He was glad it had ended. Then he looked in the mirror. He didn't look too different; he was just a bit surprised that he looked different. His black hair was gelled up and slightly spiked, his eyebrows had been slightly trimmed, and his face had been cleanly shaven. He also had on new clothes. He wore a nice black shirt that was made of some very soft material, dark blue jeans that were kind of tight, black fancy looking boots, and a black leather jacket.
"You look so much better!" Cherie squealed.
Jason couldn't help but blush. She ran over and wrapped her arms around his and she started to drag him with her.
…
Cherie and Jason had arrived at the Rocket base and were being led to the main command room by a few Rocket Grunts. Jason was receiving looks from all the grunts, looks of anger, hate, and some of amusement.
"In here Miss Cherie." One of the grunts opened a door and Cherie and Jason were let in.
Jason gasped as he walked into the room. All the high ranking Rockets were here, Executive Dyre, Executive Anya, and Executive Belthway. Edward was also there along with Boss. Everyone turned and looked at the two as they entered. Jason looked down at the floor, avoiding their gazes. Cherie smiled and giggled as she took a seat next to Anya and Jason stood by her. Boss turned around in his chair to face them.
"Ah Mr. Malone." He smirked. "How have you been?"
"I've been good sir." Jason replied, not sure why he had called Boss sir.
Boss laughed.
"I see you trained him and gave him a new look." Boss said to Cherie.
"I know!" She giggled and grabbed Jason, pulling him into a hug. "Isn't he so cute!"
All the other executives laughed as Jason blushed. Cherie kissed him and he kissed her back. They pulled away from each other.
"Mr. Malone." Edward spoke. "Trust me, this is for the best. You're no longer a threat and you're still alive. Everybody wins."
"Thank you." Jason nodded.
"Has he been well behaved?" Boss asked Cherie.
"Yes." She nodded. "He's done everything I told him and even more." She giggled and winked at him.
Jason blushed.
"Good. " Boss nodded. "Tomorrow will be his last indoctrination session. After that he will follow our every command without any form of defiance."
Cherie's smile grew even better and she hugged Jason tighter. Jason really wasn't sure what was going on. His mind felt clouded.
"Give it a few years and he'll be a Rocket Executive too." Boss said.
"Can we really trust him?" Dyre said.
"You can see the effects of the earlier indoctrination are taking a toll on him." Edward said. "Malone is done for."
Cherie hugged Jason tighter as he put his arms around her and hugged her back.
Jason sure is acting weird? Could he be having a change of heart? Will Brian and the others succeed in saving Jason, Kelly, and Maria? Until next time.
