The team battled the way through the rest of the base, enduring all the grunts that liked to randomly appear and challenge us. At the very last room in the base, we found an insane man playing dress up, acting like he was the old Team Rocket boss, Giovanni.
Lyra looked the man over once. "You…think you're Giovanni?"
The man let out a laugh. He was in a black suit with a fedora on his head. He had a black wig on, and his original purple hair jutted out from beneath it, making his costume seem even more ridiculous. "I don't think I am, little girl. I am Giovanni!"
"They just keep getting crazier, don't they," Togi said, leaning over to whisper into Ray's ear.
"Kinda feel bad for him. What if he is just delusional?" Ray asked.
"I think he's just nuts!" Ta'jean said in a loud voice. Lyra heard the conversation and began to laugh.
"W-whats so funny? How dare you laugh at Team Rocket's feared leader!" The man was starting to get embarrassed, his cheeks growing red.
"If you're Giovanni, then I am the Elite Four champion!" Lyra said in between giggles.
The man snarled. "Fine! You caught me!" The man ripped off his costume, revealing a Team Rocket executive uniform. "I am Executive Petrel! Master of disguise!"
Lyra started laughing again at the last phrase.
Petrel looked more than just a little bothered at this. "That is it! Go zubat! Teach this punk a lesson!"
"Ohhhh no, a zubat!" Lyra waved her hands in her face, acting afraid. "Take it down with an Extrasensory, Togi."
Togi did not even move forward, she used the move from behind the side lines. Instantly the zubat fell to the floor, completely knocked out.
Petrel looked stunned. "I…you…AGH! Zubat! Return! Show them how its done, koffing!"
Lyra shook her head. "Go take him down with a Fire Fang, Kenji."
I rushed forward and dug my teeth into the koffing, feeling a red hot sensation pass out of my mouth. The koffing was done.
"Koffing you useless piece of shit! Return! Go raticate! Don't disappoint me!" Petrel was yelling now.
"You got this one James. Use an Ice Fang," Lyra said as calmly as ever.
James stepped forward. He seemed a little better than he has recently been. Maybe the slap Lyra gave him to the head actually did something after all. But it didn't fix him completely. His battling style was still a little sluggish and not filled with as much spirit as it use to be.
"I…How dare you!" Petrel spat. He started backing up slowly. "This isn't the last you will hear of me!" Petrel quickly turned around and slammed face first into a wall. He growled and punched the wall furiously before running out the door.
"That one is as 'special' as they come," Aaron said, shaking his head.
"You can say that again." I covered my mouth, trying to stop myself from chuckling.
"Come on guys, lets figure out how to shut down this base now." Lyra had a wide smile on her face.
It was good to see the team so happy. Even James had a small lift on the side of his lips. Things seemed to be looking up.
Guess who's back! :D Hey all of you! Sorry it has been so long :O I have been swamped with work and life stuff. But vacation has started for me. Which means: Yay more story writin' time!
If you can't tell, I never did like Petrel...
In reply to Super Sonic Ultra, things will come in due time. I have a lot planned out for this story. Trust me *does a pervy smile back
