Chapter 38: Rescue Mission

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon and I didn't create Pokemon Reborn


Anna, Noel, Shelly and Charlotte ran outside where they saw Ash kneeling on the ground with Pikachu and Infernape around him trying to comfort him.

"Ash!" Shelly shouted as she and the others ran to him and kneeled.

"What happed, we heard screaming and you shouting, so we ran outside!" Anna asked.

Ash gritted his teeth against each other, "He took them." Ash whispered with rage but loud enough for the others to hear.

"Who?" Charlotte asked surprised by the amount of rage from his tone.

"Laura and . . . Victoria." Ash whispered sadly as more tears fall from his eyes.

Everyone widen their eyes in shock, Shelly and Anna hugged him trying to comfort him, "They took Laura?!" A voice shouted making Everyone turn and saw Saphira walking towards them.

Charlotte's eyes widen in shock, "Sis! You're ok!" Charlotte shouted.

"Of course, I'm ok. As if a little stunt like that isn't enough to kill me. Now tell me . . . what happened?!" Saphira demanded as her gaze hardened.

Ash slowly turned to her which allowed her to see the sadness and anger in his eyes, "This what happened." Ash explained what happened inside.

"He has no authority to do that." Saphira stated with rage as she clasped her fist.

"Guess he's finally slipping, which means that it's finally time to hunt him down and split his throat." Saphira continued as Ash stood up.

"Me first. He took Victoria." Ash told in a deadly tone surprising Shelly, Anna and Noel and making them scared a bit.

Ash saw their expression, turning to them and soften his gaze, "I'm sorry guys, but I can't hide my rage." Ash apologized.

Anna shook her head, "I don't blame you Ash, it's normal." Anna replied making the others nodded in agreement.

Ash gave a small smile and turned to Saphira, "I want at him first." Ash told Saphira.

Saphira smirked, "Great, then let's go. Charlotte watch the kids until we get back." Saphira told her sister making her nod in response.

"Um, excuse me b-but, do y-you know where t-to look?" Shelly asked.

Saphira turned to her, "We'll figure it out purple hair girl." Saphira replied.

"Her name is Shelly, Saphira." Ash told Saphira narrowing his eyes.

"Ok, my bad." Saphira replied sounding like she doesn't care too much.

"Hey um, I think I might know where they are." Noel declared making everyone turn to him.

"Remember all those pipes in the cave. Maybe that's where Team Meteor's base is." Noel explained.

Saphira and Ash nodded in agreement, "It's worth a shot. Well be back as soon as we can." Saphira said before she turned and left with Ash following her after he returned Infernape.


Inside Tarzan Cave

Ash and Saphira are walking in the cave looking at the metal structures that are attached to the cave's walls, "Yeah, this has Team Meteor's name all over it." Saphira declared making Ash and Pikachu nod in agreement.

The pair continued walking until they went up some stairs but were blocked by a barricade. Saphira took out a Poke Ball, releasing her Dragonite, "Tear it down." Saphira ordered as Dragon flew towards the barricade before Dragonite's body was surrounded by blue energy.

Dragonite slammed into the barricade smashing through it and leaving a hole behind. Both said nothing as they walked though the hole and continued.

Soon they came across a pair of Male Meteor Grunts, "Hey who are you?! You're not suppose to be here?!" A male Grunt shouted as he and the other Grunt took out a Poke Ball.

But before they could release them Dragonite grabbed their throats and lifted them in the air, "No mercy." Saphira said in a dark tone as Dragonite started to tighten its grip around their necks making them gasp for air.

Ash and Pikachu were a bit surprise, "Saphira that enough." Ash told Saphira making Saphira turn to him.

"No, it isn't." Saphira replied as they heard choking before they ceased and both dead.

Dragonite chuck them making them crash into the wall, "Now it is." Saphira finished before she walked through the door.

Ash frowned, "Even though they took Victoria and Laura, we have no right to kill them." Ash said out loud making Pikachu nod in response before he walked inside as well.

He didn't see Saphira anywhere, "Let's keep going." Ash explained making Pikachu nod in response as he walked through defeating Team Meteor Grunts along the way.

He grabbed a male Grunt by the collar and lifted him so that he was in front of him, "Where are the girls?" Ash demanded while casting a death glare.

"W-w-w-w-what girls?!" The Grunt shouted in fear while sweating heavily.

"The girls that Sigmund captured earlier. One with long black hair, while wearing karate clothes and the other one with pink hair going just below her shoulders while wearing a dress that looks like it made from leaves." Ash described Victoria and Laura.

The Grunt's eyes wide open in realization, "T-there at the prisoner cell! I-if you go up for a bit and then to your right, you'll see a door at the end of the hallway! Y-you'll find them there!" The Grunt shouted.

"You better be right." Ash threatened as he tossed the Grunt forward making his back slam into a wall before he ran away.

He ran up until he was faced with two hallways, he turned to the right, saw a door and ran towards it.

When he was outside, he saw the sign saying, 'Prisoner Cells'. Ash nodded before kicking the door open and ran inside.

Once inside he saw Laura and Victoria behind bars, "Victoria, Laura!" Ash shouted making the girls turn and saw Ash.

"Ash!" Victoria shouted with joy and tears rolling down her eyes.

Ash was about to run up to them, "Hold it!" A voice shouted making everyone turn and saw two Grunts walking from a broken cell, one male and female.

The male one was wearing the Knight uniform, while the female one was wearing the same style as the usual ones by this one had four wing-like attachments on the back, with all the same size and all of them having a Poke Ball just below the corners.

"I see you're here for your little friends." The male Grunt guessed.

"And if you know what's good for you. You'll let them go." Ash threatened with Pikachu sparing his cheeks.

"If you really want them. You're more than welcome to join them." The female Grunt explained.

"I rather take them out of this hellhole." Ash replied.

The female Grunt took a Poke Ball from the right wing, while the male Grunt took one from the hooks.

"Machoke!"

"Manectric!"

Both Knights shouted as the male knight released the Kanto Muscle Pokemon and the female one released the Hoenn Discharge Pokemon appeared.

Ash narrowed his eyes, before he glanced towards Victoria and Laura who is looking at him in concern, "I'll end this quickly." Ash thought to himself before he turned to his opponents.

"Charizard and Krookodile I choose you!" Ash shouted as Charizard and Krookodile appeared with glares and emitting low growls.

"Oh please, Machoke use Brick Break on Krookodile!"

"And Manectric you use Thunder Fang on Charizard!"

The Knight's Pokemon started running towards their targets with Machoke's arms surrounded by a brown aura and Manectric's fangs surrounded by yellow lightning.

"Charizard use Dragon Claw on Machoke and Krookodile also use Dragon Claw on Manectric!"

Charizard flapped his wings before flying towards them while Krookodile ran towards them.

Charizard's and Krookodile's claws glowed green, scaly as they grew, Charizard as well as Krookodile crossed each past each other with Charizard in front of Machoke and Krookodile in front of Manectric.

Charizard and Machoke slammed their attacks against each other creating shockwaves. As Krookodile swung his right claw, Manectric slammed his jaw on it, but it didn't do anything.

Krookodile swung his left claw and slammed it against Manectric's face sending Manectric flying. Charizard swung his left claw under Machoke's chin also sending him in the air before both Pokemon landed in front of their trainers.

"Get up!" The Male Knight shouted.

"Right now!" The female Knight added on as both Pokemon slowly got back on their feet and both sides glared at each other.

"Machoke use Thunder Punch of Charizard!"

"And Manectric you use Ice Fang on Krookodile!"

Machoke clasped his tight as yellow electricity surrounded them and ran towards Charizard. Manectric's fangs grew slightly, as they glowed light blue, as they gave off an icy wind and ran towards Krookodile.

"Charizard use Flamethrower on the ground!"

Charizard reared his head back as he took a depth breath, before snapping it forward, shooting orange and red fire from his mouth.

Charizard's attack hit the ground and he moved his head slowly to the right creating a wall of fire stopping Machoke's and Manectric's advancements.

"Charizard use Dragon Claw!"

Charizard flew through the fire with his claws glowing green, scaly and grew.

Charizard slashed the pair sending them flying and crashed into a wall behind the Knights.

They turned and saw Machoke and Manectric struggling to get up.

Both Knights turned to where Ash was, saw the fire wall dimming down before it stopped, showing the floor where the fire was a red light and steaming slightly.

But the Knights didn't care about that, they cared that they saw Ash and a hole in the ground, "Where's Krookodile?!" The male Knight shouted as the Knights looked around trying to find him.

When the Knights Pokemon were back on their feet, the ground started to crack beneath Manectric, before Krookodile slammed his fist under Manectric's chin sending her in the air and crashed into the ceiling.

"Charizard Seismic Toss!"

Charizard flew towards Machoke, grabbed him by the arms, flew in the air while holding Machoke, spinning around in a circle formation a flew time, before throwing Machoke on the ground in front of his trainer.

Both Knights turned to their Pokemon and saw they were both are lying in crates that they made and unconscious.

"N-No way." The female Knight said in surprise as she and the male Knight saw Charizard landed in front of Ash and while Krookodile ran besides Charizard and facing their opponents.

Both Knights returned their Pokemon ad took out new Poke Ball, "We can't give up. We are Team Meteor's Knights we won't be defeated!" The male Knight shouted as both were about to throw another Poke Ball.

"Dragon Pulse!"

A voice shouted before two purple dragon energy's flew past Ash as well as his Pokemon, slammed into the Knights sending them crashing into a wall knocking them both out.

Everyone turned to see Saphira walking towards them with her Dragonite behind her.

"Hey Ash, I thought you scampered off somewhere." Saphira told Ash.

Ash narrowed his brows slightly, "No you ditched me before I walked inside." Ash recorrected Saphira.

Saphira just shrugged her shoulders, "Whatever." Saphira replied before turning back to Victoria and Laura.

"Victoria!" Ash shouted as he ran to the bars.

"Ash!" Victoria shouted as well.

When Ash was in front of the cell, Ash lifted his right hand while Victoria lifted her left hand towards each other, held them so that their fingers were interlocking with each other, "You are hurt?" Ash asked in concern.

Victoria smiled and shook her head, "No, I'm fine. I knew you would come." Victoria reassured making Ash smile.

"Hey sis, you ok?" Saphira asked making Laura turn to her.

"You, two didn't have to come here you know . . ." Laura answered as she turned her head downwards.

"Nonsense. You are my sister, we're family, we look out for each other and It's my job as your big sister to protect you and Charlotte. And besides, I wasn't about to let Sigmund get away with something like this. Especially when he has NO legal right to do this and I WILL kill him!" Saphira shouted in anger and in seriousness.

Everyone turned to her, with Ash and Victoria a bit concerned while Laura looked at her sister worried about her, but she nodded in agreement, "I understand." Laura replied.

"I got this, girls you should step back." Ash told the girls making them nod as they took a few steps away.

"Charizard Dragon Claw!"

Charizard roared his claws glowed green as they grew, he slashed the bars, but nothing happened surprising everyone.

Saphira walked up to them and examined them, "Seems these bars have been made so that they can repel attacks." Saphira explained.

"So how do we get them out?" Ash asked worried for Victoria.

"These cells are locked by a key, and as I understand only Sigmund has it. So, we'll need to find him and force him to give us that key" Saphira answered as she turned to Ash.

"Ash I'll need you with me." Saphira told Ash.

"But what about Victoria and Laura?!" Ash asked worried for Laura, but mainly worried for his girlfriend.

"Ash, we'll be fine. The sooner you get to the control room, the sooner we can leave. Please." Victoria told Ash in reassuring tone.

Ash stared at her for a bit until he grunted, "I'll come back soon." Ash told Victoria making her smile and nod.

Ash turned to Saphira, "Let's go." Ash told Saphira making her nod before they returned they Pokemon (minus Pikachu) and ran out.

After battling more Meteor Grunts they found out that Sigmund is in the back room, which is being locked and the only way to open it is by opening it from the Control Room.

Saphira walked up to the monitor and started typing, "Man, this security system stinks. I should be able to crack it in a minute." Saphira told Ash.

"HEY!" A voice shouted making everyone turn and saw another male and female Knights running towards them.

"You two are not supposed to be here!" The female shouted.

"Saphira, we'll deal with them. Continue to try and open the cells." Ash told Saphira, making her nod before turning back to the monitor and Ash walked so that he is in front of the pair.

"Intruders must be stopped! Conkeldurr!" The male Knight shouted as the Unova Fighting type appeared and jabbed his stone pillars on the ground.

"Gothitelle!" The female Knight shouted as the Unova Psychic Pokemon appeared with a slight bow.

"Pikachu and Sceptile I choose you!" Ash shouted as Pikachu leaped off his shoulder and landed in front of Ash while Sceptile appeared next to Pikachu while adjusting the twig in his mouth

"Conkeldurr use Stone Edge!"

"Gothitelle use Shadow Ball!"

Conkeldurr raised his right pillar in the air before slamming it on the ground shooting blue pillars from the ground and headed towards Sceptile. Gothitelle brought her hands next to each other, created a purple and black orb of energy and flung it forwards Pikachu.

"Pikachu send it back with Iron Tail and Sceptile use Leaf Blade!"

Pikachu's tail glowed silver, leaped towards the Shadow Ball, swung his tail against the Shadow Ball, sending it back, slammed into Gothitelle and created an explosion.

Sceptile's leaves glowed green, before merging, run forwards slashing the boulders slicing right through them.

Sceptile vanished, then reappeared in front of Conkeldurr, slashed his chest sending him sliding across the ground and stopped in front of his trainer.

"In that case Conkeldurr use Dynamic Punch on Pikachu!"

"Gothitelle Brick Break on Sceptile!"

The Knight's Pokemon ran side-by-side as Conkeldurr's stone pillars glowed brown while Gothitelle's fist glowed brown.

"Volt Tackle!"

Pikachu got on all fours, started running towards the pair as his body was surrounded by a yellow electricity aura.

Conkeldurr swung his stone pillar, while Gothitelle swung her fist, as Pikachu leaped towards them and created shockwaves upon impact and created an explosion.

Shortly all the Pokemon were flung from the smoke with bruises and scrapes over their bodies. Pikachu landed in front of Ash who is panting heavily, while Conkeldurr and Gothitelle fell on their back in front of the Knights.

"Get up!" Both Knights shouted in unison.

"Sceptile use Frenzy Plant!"

Sceptile roared as his body was surrounded by a green lining, raised his arms in the air, before slamming them downwards, making giant roots soot up from the ground and slammed into the Knights Pokemon creating an explosion.

When the smoke cleared it revealed Conkeldurr and Gothitelle lying on the ground and unconscious.

The Knights returned their Pokemon and were about to take out another Poke Ball, 'ATRIUM GATE DISENGAGED' a computer woman voice said.

"Blast! We couldn't stop them!" The male Knight shouted

Saphira turned to them, "That's right. So, if you value your lives, I suggest you'll run, or am I going to burn the two of you to a cinder?" Saphira asked as she took a few steps towards them.

The Knights didn't answer her but started to sweat. Saphira narrowed her eyes and took another step towards them, "Boo." Saphira said before they screamed and ran out of the room.

"Pathetic . . . Let's go." Saphira said as Ash returned Sceptile, picking Pikachu up, spraying him with a Hyper Potion, giving him a Sirius Berry and the pair walked out.

When battled their way through the Atrium. Soon they had surrounded a Scientist that is protecting a monitor, as Saphira grabbed his collar and pulled him towards her face, "Open the gate if you want to live." Saphira threatened.

The Scientist is sweating quite badly, "O-o-o-okay, okay. I'll do it!" The Scientist shouted before Saphira released him from her grip, the Scientist turned to the monitor behind him and disabled it, opening the barricade.

"Good." Saphira said before she punched the Scientist in the face knocking him out and making him flop on the ground.

Saphira returned Dragonite, while Ash returned Charizard as the pair walked inside.

Once they were inside, they were in a room, they saw Sigmund who is leaning against the back wall, ZEL who is typing on a keypad while monitoring an Abra who is attached to a PULSE machine.

The Abra looks like it has it's wearing amour, on its arms, hands, legs, upper chest and head. The helmet has a cut-out allowing Abra to see and with spike on the top of its head.

"Sigmund." Saphira greeted with hatred.

"Saphira." Sigmund greeted back in a neutral tone.

ZEL glanced to the side, saw Saphira and Ash which gained ZEL's full attention, "You." Lumi whispered at Ash before turning back to the PULSE.

"You are going to let Laura and Victoria go." Saphira demanded.

"And why would I do that? Although, I'm more than willing to trade them for the ones who are under my legal care. Anna, Noel and Charlotte." Sigmund offered.

Ash, Saphira and Pikachu narrowed their eyes, "Don't you give me any of this legal shit. After Ash brought your therapy to the light you lost your authority and therefore the children are no longer under your legal care." Saphira replied with her hatred growing.

Sigmund narrowed his eyes, "Silence!" Sigmund shouted in rage making ZEL turn towards him.

"Doctor is something wrong?" A voice asked making everyone turn and saw Sirius behind Ash and Saphira.

When Sirius saw the pair, he narrowed his eye, "You." Sirius whispered in hatred that is towards Saphira.

"Miss me?" Saphira asked as she narrowed her eyes.

Sirius narrowed his eye even more, "No I don't. But later, there's more important concerns right now." Sirius walked towards Ash pushed him out of the way.

Sirius walked until he was a few feet behind ZEL, "ZEL, I've just received a communication link." Sirius told ZEL.

"And?" Eve asked uninterested, not facing him and continued to type.

Sirius breathed out slightly, almost if he's afraid, "Lin, is coming shortly to review our progress." Sirius finished.

When he said that ZEL stopped typing, flinched up, with her eyes wide open in fear. Sigmund's eyes wide open in surprised, ". . .Lin? . . ." Sigmund whispered to himself in shock.

Ash noticed that the atmosphere suddenly turned tense and scared, "Why does that name sound familiar?" Saphira as she placed her index finger against her chin tyring to think.

Sirius turned to Ash and Saphira, "Familiar? Lin is the true leader of Team Meteor." Sirius explained surprising Ash.

"Wait! I though Solaris was the leader!" Ash shouted confused.

Sirius directed his gaze towards Ash and scoffed, "If only that were the case. Solaris 'actually' takes orders from Lin and Solaris doesn't even hold a candle compare to her." Sirius explained almost afraid of descripting her.

Ash's and Pikachu eyes wide open, "There's someone more dangerous than Solaris!" Ash thought to himself.

ZEL turned around, "R-right now? But . . . Abra still won't listen to us . . ." Lumi said in fear and worry.

Saphira raised an eyebrow, "Why would Team Meteor care about an Abra of all Pokemon?" Saphira asked confused while Ash turned to the Abra.

ZEL looked up slightly, "Well um . . . we need to get to a certain place that is sealed tightly. So, we figured that if we can amplify an Abra's ability to teleport and ask it nicely . . . it could teleport us in there." Lumi explained.

ZEL turned to face the PULSE and Abra, "But this stupid Pokemon won't listen to anything we say! It's just been causing trouble constantly!" Zero shouted as he kicked the machine slightly.

Saphira's mouth was open slightly and appeared to be in thought, "Amplifying teleportation . . ." Saphira thought to herself until she realized something making her narrow her eyes and closed her mouth.

"So that explains why Spinel Town is in that state it's in!" Saphira shouted making Ash realize as well that the Abra is the cause if things vanish or teleport.

ZEL turned to the pair, "Correct. Although unlike many of our pervious operations, our objective was not to disturb nearby areas. This most likely a side-effect that is being caused by Abra not being able to control its powers." Eve explained.

"That's enough ZEL. You focus on taming that thing. Otherwise Lin will have all of out heads." Sirius ordered making ZEL turn to him nodded in response.

"Excuse me. Hate to interrupt, but we're still here and bursting the dump." Saphira said making Sirius, Sigmund and ZEL turn to them.

Sirius smirked, "In that case you two will be our test subjects, ZEL?" Sirius asked making ZEL nod in agreement, before turning to the PULSE and started typing again.

Saphira took a step forward, "Allow me to finish what I started-" Before Saphira could finished she vanished into thin air.

Ash and Pikachu's eyes wide open, "Saphira! / Pika!" Ash and Pikachu shouted in shock.

"Goodbye bitch. I'll enjoy not seeing you again." Sirius said with a smirk.

Ash and Pikachu narrowed their eyes and casted a glare, "Where is she?!" Ash demanded.

"Wherever Abra sent it. And the other?" Sirius asked before Ash and Pikachu vanished as well.

Once they were gone Sirius smirked, "Very good. Where did they go?" Sirius asked.

"Um . . . to be honest I really don't think they actually know." Lumi answered referring to Eve and Abra.

"Really? It could be anywhere?" Zero asked.

"ZEL continue to work on Abra, we need to have it perfected before Lin arrives." Sirius order making ZEL nod in response before she went back to typing.

Sirius turned to Sigmund, "You stay here, in case others try to come." Sirius ordered making Sigmund nod in response before Sirius walked out of the room.
