Chapter 43: Secrets Behold!
Written by drake22ice
Two people in the same dark green outfits dropped down behind Billy. One had Cherry Red hair and the other had Dark Blue hair. They released a Growlithe that looked like it had just fought an Ursaring and won and a Spearow that had an evil stare. "What are you doing here, Billy!" Max yelled out in anger as he stepped ahead of the group. Star just looked at him like she never saw that in him to yell like that. Billy smirked and had his Flompem(the pink ground type rabbit pokemon) use Magnitude. The wave was not strong, but it certainly caused panic in the underground city. Rocks started to fall at some of the city people. The three bad guys laughed to see the terror. Billy stared at Star and Bluebolt and was about to call an attack when a pokeball smacked him across the face and fell to the floor. He held his face and looked up in anger to see where it came from. Tera stood there smiling. "Feezub, IceBall this guy down!" she said. Billy didn't even realize the small bear pokemon had released. Feezub had a hold of his feet. Ice formed and Billy started to swing at Feezub.
As Feezub jumped back, Vulpix jumped right next to him and growled. "We need to get these people out of here!!" Ruken announced as he saw another Magnitude attack hit and more rocks fell. Some rocks were just about to pound Ruken and Simari, but Max had Kirlia used a Psychic attack to hold and throw the rocks away. "You get these people out of here. Kirlia and I will try and hold the walls and ceiling from falling in." Max directed. He looked to Star and the other two. Hank had already ran with the rest of the town people. "You guys able to handle these guys enough to get us out of this?" he asked them. They stared at each other. Connor released Burwuf. She looked so happy to be out of the pokeball. She looked to see Vulpix growling. Burwuf didn't know what was going on yet, but thought it looked fun, so it joined in.
The red haired girl stepped out and away from where Billy was trapped to the floor. She and her Spearow looked insane with their eyes bulging and arms out. She called for her pokemon to use a Whirlwind attack. The pokemon flapped its wings as it started flying in an enraged diagonal formation. The wind was so strong that Bluebolt flung off of the ground and into Star. Connor saw that Star was getting attacked and called for Burwuf to use PoisonSting on Spearow. The blast pinned the bird pokemon against the wall. The female SPAT group member huffed and went to release her pokemon from the purple pins, while keeping an eye out for BlueBolt. Tera noticed that the only one not watching this was Billy and his pokemon. They were going in for another Magnitude. The bunny pokemon already had its paws up in the air for another slam to the ground. Tera called out "LowKick hard!" to Feezub. Connor and Star looked to see if it was Tera that called out that attack. Feezub ran and slid on his back as if he were on a Slip'n Slide. His back paws pounced into the exposed belly of the pink pokemon. The blast sent it into Billy, knocking the wind out of him. Star and Connor looked stunned to Tera. She just looked to Star-- "What?! Don't you think you are the only one sneaking off in the middle of the night to go practice secretly! Now, if you don't mind, show us some of the tricks you've been working on." Tera said in a laugh. Connor turned back to the sound of a pokemon cry to see Growlithe had Burwuf in a choke hold with its teeth holding the pokemon down. "No!" he screamed right before BlueBolt leaped onto Growlithe's back and yanked its ears pretty hard. Growlithe released and got kicked away by Burwuf. Bluebolt was then getting dove at by the Spearow again. "Bluebolt dodge, duck and roll!" Star called out. The little Bluebolt did as she asked moving with speed almost fast enough to match its sister, Tera's Pichu and its QuickAttack.
The battle seemed to be taken in three different directions. Tera stayed facing against Billy and his Flompem as he stood back up and through his pokemon off of him. Star and her opponent, the red-headed female SPAT team member and the Spearow, were to the back of Tera. Star's Vulpix was also helping out against Billy since he seemed to be the strongest of the three. Connor and Burwuf were being chased by the dark Blue haired man and the growlithe. The growlithe had foam coming out of its mouth.
Connor looked back and thought of how crazy these pokemon were that they were battling. He got to an open area and stopped. He turned around to hear the man laughing at him. He turned to realize that growlithe was holding something in its mouth. "A Fire Stone!" Connor gulped out. It cracked as the little pup pokemon bit down. A huge flash blinded him. He looked up to see Burwuf running towards him with her tail between her legs as she was chased by an Arcanine. "Burwuf, come here!" Connor demanded as he grabbed her and dodged a hit from the beast. He remembered his dad's Arcanine and tried to remember its weakness. "Oh yeah!" he whispered something into Burwuf's ear that made her lick his nose. "Awe! He's got a plan, Arcky! Fire it up!" Arcanine's mouth started to fill with lightning. "If you are wondering, it's a ThunderFang! No escape!" the man finished his statement. Connor let Burwuf down. She looked back to him with a little worry in her eyes.
Star had been dodging a Toxic attack and was almost dancing in a zig-zag fashion. She suddenly swung Bluebolt around and called out "SweetKiss!" as he was thrown into the air and dazed the bird pokemon. She called him back by her side and fell backwards into Tera who was busy trying to get Feezub close enough to freeze the pink pokemon of Billy's to the ground. Tera hmffed as she saw how fast the Flompem was. She then turned to Star-- "Hey, Vulpix won't listen to me, and I need its help. Gotta minute?" Star looked up and saw Feezub get dodged and thrown by Tackle attacks. She got an idea. She whispered in Tera's ear. Tera rolled her eyes-- "Got it!" Tera called out. Star smiled because Tera actually listened to her. Then, she got hit by a Gust attack. She dove out of the way as the Spearow swooped down and scratched Bluebolt. Star saw the female member smile and reach into her pocket. It made the other two in dark green look to her as if she hit an alarm or signal. "Toxic again!!" she called out. The Spearow shot blobs of purple poison at Star and Bluebolt.
Max saw tears in Kirlia's eyes as her knee fell to the floor. She was trying so hard to hold up the rocks. "Hurry it up guys! All this action is really stirring up these caves." Max cried out as he tried to gather enough rock pokemon wandering around to help rebuild crushed wall.
As Bluebolt quickly dodged all of the Toxic bombs, Star called out for a ShockFire attack. The female member called for her pokemon to create a large Toxic attack. The Spearow swooped and threw its attack. It was headed right for Bluebolt. "Wait for it---- Now!" Star commanded. The little blue guy dodged head first tossing his ball of electricity up and sprinted from the ground with his front paws to kick the attack right into the crazy bird pokemon. "Star, WE'RE READY!" Tera called from behind. "VULPIX, FIRESPIN!" Star called over her shoulder. The pink rabbit was right in front of Billy. Vulpix was standing next to Feezub and Tera. Vulpix shot her cyclone of fire and released it towards Flompem. Right before the attack was going to be dodged, the fire disappeared to show Feezub coming in with a speedy LowKick attack. The Flompem had its feet taken out from underneath it and it was being held in place while Feezub made it into a frozen ball that it launched into Billy. The sudden quick combination caught Billy by surprise and knocked him out cold.
Connor had Burwuf go head on towards the Arcanine preparing its ThunderFang attack. As it got closer to the crazy and rough looking beast she gulped before she heard the call out from Connor, her trainer-- "Now, Use Acid!" No one really saw where the burning fluid sprayed from as Burwuf leaped into the air, but it didn't matter. Burwuf blinded Arcanine enough to stop the attack and landed on its back. As Burwuf was facing the back of Arcanine's head from on top of him, Connor called out a PoisonSting attack on Arcanine's neck. The shiny purple needles pierced the back of Arcanine's neck, dropping it to the ground.
Just then, the female member saw a rope ladder come down through the hole. "We got what we came for. Let's go!" she called out. She turned to see her bird pokemon on the floor and in a crispy state. She looked to see Connor holding and thanking Burwuf. Tera and Star were also congratulating their pokemon. Billy was on the floor and out cold. The SPAT group's pokemon were returned and Billy carried out. Max tried to stop them, but the city was more important, so he had all the ground and rock pokemon try and restore all the broken areas, so that it was safe enough for all the town's people to come back down.
Ruken was first to come down. He ran over to Star. "Where's your Pichu? Are you okay?" he gasped out. Star looked concerned and Bluebolt peaked from around her ankle like-- "I'm right here!" "Oh, I thought I heard one of them say as they were leaving that Operation Blue Pichu was a success." Ruken insisted. Star looked down to see Bluebolt licking the spot where Spearow had scratched him. "Your pokemon need attended to. I'll get our Nurse Joy down here right away! Oh, and thank you, Max, for saving this city. I am glad that you were at least down here with the kids while I got the rest of the people out." Ruken said seeing the kids interest in what he was going to talk about next. They knew he was going to talk about the SPAT attacking again. "We'll talk later. Let's make sure every one is okay--- pokemon, too." Ruken said to Max.
At the center, Star had called home to her father while she waited for Vulpix and Bluebolt to come back out. "Dad, they came after me and Bluebolt again! What is with these people? I swear your curse with Team Rocket going after you and Pikachu has been passed on to me and my little blue guy!" Star ranted to her dad. After Ash stood there on the screen staring at her like he would when Misty started ranting and raving at him, he started to chuckle. "Now, Star, I heard you guys are handling yourselves pretty well. I am worried about them coming after you, and we are looking into this SPAT group to do all that we can. But I want you to take this in as part of your journey, too. How many stories did your mom and I tell you about Team Rocket and what they did to us?" he said to her as she rolled her eyes. "Yes, dad I know-- they dressed up in some stupid costumes fooling you guys over and over again trying to steal Pikachu-- yada yada yada!" she blurted out. She sat there trying to think before she squinted remembering her stone pokeball and the weird baby Gargurin pokemon. "Dad, is it alright if I send you a pokemon? For some odd reason, it's pokeball turned to--" she paused as she took the pokeball out to see it wasn't stone anymore. She released the Gargurin to her lap. Misty pushed Ash over on the screen to see. "Oh, honey, it's a cutie. Is it a water type?" Misty inquired. "No, Mom! Jeez! This little guy lost its family do to some misunderstanding of its territory, but today it's pokeball turned to stone. I think it turns to stone, too, during the day time. Well, anyways, I think it needs to be taken care of without all of this chaos going on around it. Would you guys watch over it for me? It is really heavy to carry around during the day?" Star asked. The little Gargurin looked up to her with it's one big, but sad eye. "Of course, honey! Go ahead, now!" Misty insisted.
Star walked over to the transporting machine, but Connor was there. "What are you doing?" She asked. "Remember I said I caught a weird bug pokemon, Pechasect? I am sending it to my dad. It keeps wanting to stalk Ghouleon." He said in an annoyed tone. Tera walked over to them. "Did you tell your dad about its obsession with Eevee and to watch over Ghouleon's sibling around it?" She said in a taunting manner. "Oh, I should probably go call him back!" He rushed off. Star gave Gargurin a big hug before returning it to its pokeball. She placed it on the counter and pushed in her home number. With a flash, it was gone. "So did you find out what they did to your Bluebolt?" Tera asked as they heard the bing from the Doctor's office.
Well, something is going on with that Bluebolt. The group's pokemon are getting better and some need some higher care taking. The girls gotta have their gym battle, yet. We don't know what's going on with Turk until next chapter, but Some new pokemon catches are soon to come. Keep reading and Review Please!
