Chapter 50

ERIN'S HOUSE

The two young couples collectively ran around the kitchen in order to make breakfast, so when all was done they sat down and had a nice long conversation.

"So Miracle which way are you headed?" Erin asked.

"Well, we need to get to Fuchsia City. So I was thinking about renting some wheels and heading down the bike path." She replied.

"I heard a report of people being attacked, and their Pokemon going missing. We best be careful." Saki said.

Kobi leaned forward, "Do you think that could be another Rocket plan. That does seem right up their alley."

Miracle shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know, but it is always a possibility. But this way is a lot easier then going all the way back to Lavender then down."

The others nodded in agreement.

"And what about you Erin?" Saki added with a sly smile, "What are you to do when we leave?"

"Continue my Gym Leader duties. But I have put in word to your mother for some special training. Hopefully I can get my powers under control, heck just learn what they are." She laughed.

They were about to continue when one of Erin's assistants rushes in, slamming the doors. "Miss Erin we have an issue." The girl, a short young blond who adorned a white t-shirt and overalls, was slumped over panting.

"Teelah, what's wrong?" Erin asked.

"The garden, it has been ransacked."

"Oh, that is not good, whats the damage?" Erin asked.

"No one is left, not even your Vileplume," the younger girl replied.

"Go back and check again, I need to make some calls," The girl took off.

"Whats happening?" Miracle asked. "And what is the garden?"

"The garden is what the Celadon Gym calls its Pokemon storage facility" Saki said, "A lab in the middle of a greenhouse that lets the grass Pokemon grow better."

"Shit, someone took all of your Pokemon." Kobi said, "What can we do to help?"

"I don't know, we need to go and check out what happened." She said.

"I think I know what we can do," Miracle said, " But a cursory glance would not hurt at all."

THE GARDEN

The place was destroyed, trees were uprooted, grass torn up, and the lab equipment was mangled

"WOW, she wasnt kidding." Kobi said.

"Who would do such a thing?" Miracle said.

"I remember this event Miracle," Saki said, "I saw it in a vision once, and I do not believe we are dealing with Rockets."

"What makes you say that?" Erin asked.

"I am trying to remember..." Then it all hit her suddenly, she grabbed her head and fell into Miracle's arms. "There is a note carved on the underside of the table."

Kobi and Miracle flipped said table over, and there it said "Plasma Revolution."

"What the hell does that mean?" Erin asked, "Or even has to do with the Pokemon that belong to the gym?"

"We can answer that." Mike and Odila walked into the room.

"Team Plasma, are a group of Pokemon activists hell bent on 'liberating' Pokemon from their trainers. They were based in Unova years ago." Odila said.

"The leaders were caught, but nearly a hundred lower members escaped and were never found. We found out that these lower members were children who were abducted and brainwashed." Mike added. "Luckily DNA tests and photo aging software allowed the police and the league to return them to their homes."

"So you think these people who got away, have moved here and are 'liberating' Pokemon." Erin yelled.

"It is a reasonable assumption," Saki said, "But the question that needs answering is how do we find the Pokemon?"

"That is where I come in, I will use Beedrill, and vespiquen to locate them. As bee Pokemon they will be in tune with the strongest floral scents her Pokemon could provide."

"Brilliant," Kobi smiled, "I'll use Heracross as well."

The three bug type Pokemon were released and they started moving around trying to locate anything they could. And all at once they all covered their mouths.

"They found something, and it looks pretty foul." Mike said.

"Great, that could be Vileplume, so can they follow it." Erin asked.

"Yes, they can, but before we go I want to make some team changes if thats okay." Miracle smiled.

CYCLING ROAD

The group had been given permission to enter cycling road with no bikes, in order to look for Team Plasma.

After a few hours they had come to a large factory build in a cove down on the beach below the road.

"This looks like the place." Odila said. "And look Mike, they are wearing the same stupid outfits."

"Good, now to start off the festivities," Miracle threw a pokeball high into the sky, "Rock and Roll, Onix."

The rock snake landed in front of the factory and laid waste to the trainers at the front. When he was done he reached up the the group and allowed them to use himself as stairs.

"Miracle, I was amazed at the Pokemon you had." Mike said, "But... How the bloody hell, did you get an Onix that size."

"We sort of fell into each others laps, Return Onix. Come out Parasect." Her mushroom bug came out and immediately snuggled up to Miracle. "Good, now buddy I want you to put any person wearing those costumes to sleep, got it?"

The bug nodded and used small clouds of sleep powder.

"Okay, Mike do you think you and Odila could watch the outside and capture anyone who decides to escape." Kobi asked.

"No problem, Scizor always loved facing these freaks." Mike laughed.

"Erin you should stay as well, since you don't have a Pokemon on you." Odila replied.

" Oh, I have two on me, three if you count Tyrogue. Don't worry." Erin smiled.

"Lets keep it small to start with," Miracle said returning Vespiquen.

They entered the factory and were immediately met with hostility. Luckily for them their opponents were only using dark, poison and bug types. This allowed Beedrill, Heracross, and Ralts to easily dismantle them, allowing Parasect to put them to sleep and tie them up.

"Well, what do we have here," A large cloaked man said. "A coup against the newest reincarnation of Team Plasma."

"Give me back the Pokemon you took from my gym!" Erin yelled.

"Do not fret gym leader, there will be no harm done to them by us, but you on the other hand have been found guilty of holding Pokemon captive against their will. And all of you will are to be found guilty of the same."

"Do you think you can beat us." Kobi laughed. "If you believe in these ideologies then you do not have a Pokemon on you right now."

"I may not have Pokemon locked up at my hip, but that does not mean I do not have Pokemon who do not love me, and help me." He motioned toward six large doors, "Meet my 'team'."

The doors slid open. And there they were, an Aggron, a Caracosta, a Golem, Forretress, Bronzong, and Durant.

"I see we get a big fight, choose your opponent." Kobi said.

"Charizard blast Aggron away, Beedrill take Forretress."

"Heracross attack Durant, Magmorter Bronzong."

"I'll take Caracosta," Erin said as she released her Sceptile.

"Ralts, Duskull, we have Golem."

"You cannot win, I have the greater power, go my giants destroy their will and relinquish them of their Pokemon."

MIRACLE

"Charizard start things off with dragon rage," Miracle said, "Beedrill, brick break."

The black dragon's throat was clasped shut before he could attack. And Beedrill was just able to deflect his fellow bug types attack.

"Not good, they are faster then I expected." She thought, "Beedrill, change of plans I need you to protect Charizard by using drill run." The bug saluted and began his constant attack and knocked Aggron away.

Charizard rubbed his throat and became extremely irritated. "Over heat." He let the beam of fire loose, and it struck Aggron hard. "Now use seismic toss." Charizard spread his wings and flew under several passes by Forretress. He reached Aggron and spun it around before crushing him into the ground.

Forretress was able to redirect quickly enough to take aim at Charizard's head. But Beedrill was able to bat him away with brick break. Miracle's two Pokemon stood triumphant, but Charizard was brought to his knees and became sickly ill.

"What the fuck, he must have used toxic, or something. " She wondered. Her opponents stood tall and unfazed. "Charizard, are you okay. Can you continue." The fire dragon tried his best to brush it off, but the effects were staring her in the face. He put his claws together, then pushed all his rage out and into a large blue orb. "Oh, this is interesting." He then flew right to Aggron who at the same time let loose a massive solar beam. Beedrill couldn't reach them but at the last second his needle turned white and he to let loose solar beam. They hit and exploded, this allowed Charizard to break through and plant his attack under the rock Pokemon's chin. And in an instant he was out. But Charizard was in no condition to continue.

"Beedrill, its all you now. I want you to use solar beam again." Beedrill looked at her and nodded. But his attack didn't happen. "Not good."

"Nice try little girl, but my friends will destroy you, Forretress self destruct."

"Beedrill the second the explosion happens use drill run and drive it back to him." On point with her command, Miracle watched as Beedrill spun with great velocity. This easily pulled the explosion in and back onto the steel bug. The resulting explosion was small enough to deal little damage to the building, and left Beedrill in a bad state. Miracle decided to release Vespiquen and Murkrow to protect her and her other Pokemon.

"Murkrow, I know your new. But I need you to do some snooping for me." She smiled.

To Be Continued...

Now I have a little puzzle for you readers.

If Beedrill used solar beam but it was not solar beam. Then what did he use?
