Here's chapter 12, what did you guys think about the last chapter? I know that I should at least wait a few minutes before I start this one but I finished my Chemistry work and have decided to do something I enjoy. Don't worry, I'm still going to give Frodo and Legolas screen time but I like to write moment by moment in short chapters. These two are going to be getting formal training once they leave Viridian.

"Trust in your friends, and they'll have reason to trust in you."

Chapter Twelve

After hugging Sauron, Nurse Joy quietly led us to a patient room for humans to heal the cuts caused by the sharp sides of Sauron. The sword may not have said it but I could tell that he was a little guilty about causing me pain. In my own private opinion, I thought I deserved these cuts for being the cause of Sauron's scratches. He was quietly floating from behind me, closer than usual because of his worry.

My blood was drying on his sides, a muddy red-brown that tainted his golden and silver polish. It's nasty, not even gonna lie. I wanted to grab a towel and just clean my blood off of him but it seemed that Chansey was already onto it.

I was gonna need to figure out a way to hug Sauron without causing myself bodily harm.

Nurse Joy grabbed some magical healing juice potion made out of Ditto cells and started to prepare to spray my cuts.

Without a warning, Nurse Joy started spraying and I almost jumped off the bed at the burning contact. It felt like having oil from your frying pan splash out and touch your skin. Except, make it a lot of oil gushing over your open wounds.

Glancing at my arms, I was amazed once I saw the cuts literally sealing themselves together through layers of skin. The wounds turned into a lighter pink before there was no proof that I even had any injuries on them. When I reached out and touched my skin there was no raised bump and where the spray touched made my skin feel almost silky smooth. Even more surprisingly was when it healed the small scar tissue that screamed of a childhood of hanging out outside in the wilderness.

That would be one hell of a lotion if it wasn't such a painful experience.

Sauron started to relax when he saw that there were no more wounds and lowered himself so Chansey could reach him. Chansey rubbed a wet rag against Sauron and started the process of removing my blood off of him before dumping the dirty rag in a bucket of water before repeating the process.

Looking back at Nurse Joy I saw her face pinched together, she looked just like Delia when I was going to get a talking to for not socializing with the kids "my age". Yeah, no thanks. I don't exactly want to hear her reprimands. So I readied myself for a verbal battle.

When she opened her mouth, ready to dish out a scolding, a blasting alarm shook the building. I raised my hands in the air like I was about to be arrested before realizing this wasn't a police siren but a warning one.

Once Nurse Joy heard the beeps she immediately ran out of the room. With Chansey right at her heels.

Glancing at Sauron, I nodded and he followed after me. The siren was still blasting as I opened the door to the room and walked out into the halls. There were red lights flashing that screamed of an emergency. Staff members and trainers were rushing out prepared for anything to happen.

There was a lot of panic and chaos going on and many people were being shoved every which way and I winced when I saw a doctor get shoved against a wall and have his nose broken. Which was very evident by the blood gushing down his face and covering his lips, he groaned in pain and raised his arm to cover his nose.

Looking away, I looked around for a flash of pink and when I finally saw Nurse Joy she was dashing into another hallway, the one where the Pokeball's were located.

Rushing after her, Sauron and I went against the currents of people and panicked pokemon until we finally stopped when we were right behind her.

I glanced past her and saw the red 'R' that was emblazed on uniforms. Looking up, I saw the blue hair that made up one of my favorite characters in Pokemon. James, who has his Weezing. Next to him was Jessie, who had her Ekans that was shown in the first season of Pokemon, both of them were posing, which let me know that I missed their introduction. Despite their ridiculous stances, the flickering red lights made them look more imposing than they actually were.

However, despite them being criminals and all they didn't disappoint in the looks department. They could've gone far as models or Coordinators.

Taking another glance at Jessie's midriff, I admired her toned definition. It's always the bad ones who looked like superstars.

Despite their looks, I thought they would be in a different city, like they were in the anime, when Original Ash and Pikachu finally got along and used Pika Power and the Power of Friendship to defeat them. Which caused their obsession with Pikachu.

Why would Team Rocket t attack this soon in the timeline? In a completely different place as well? Or at least they wouldn't make it this obvious that they operated in Viridian City. Cursing, I glanced around for Meowth. He was usually the brains of the team so he had to be around somewhere.

However, he was nowhere to be seen so I assumed that Jessie and James were causing a distraction so he could steal some pokemon. Of course, I couldn't exactly say that out loud or I would be accused of being a member myself.

When Sauron tapped my shoulder with his ribbon arm, I knocked myself out of my thoughts and motioned for Sauron to get ready for battle. We needed to be ready to help Nurse Joy if she couldn't defend them herself.

Stepping up to her, I stopped when we were side by side. Sauron moved past me to hover in front of us. Nurse Joy gave me a look before we both called out at the same time.

"Chansey!"

"Sauron!"

Sauron knew exactly what I wanted him to do as he rushed towards Jessie's ekans, the only one he could actually do sufficient damage to. Since you know, Weezing is made out of gas and all. He immediately began Close Combat.

Chansey rushed towards Weezing using some type of fire move..

It was almost sad, the ekans and Weezing immediately fell after the first attack.

When Jessie and James recalled them, they called out something I did not believe was real.

"TEAM ROCKET'S GOTTA BLAST!" And then they dropped some type of smoke bomb and literally shouldered me out of the way to make their grand escape.

Coughing, I tried to wave away the smoke in front of my face but it disappeared after a few moments. I couldn't decide which was more hilarious, this smoke bomb and how I could still hear them trash talking each other as they ran through the halls or them flying through the air in the anime. I guess, I'll need to witness the latter one to see.

I could see Nurse Joy and Chansey chasing after them promising their demise should she catch them. She was very vocal about causing them pain and Chansey was waving around a very large needle threateningly.

I bursted into laughter when both sides turned at the hall and were out of my sight. However, I could still hear their screams of fear and Nurse Joy's anger.

"What a bunch of weirdos."

However, I stopped smiling when I realized that Meowth was still missing. Did they not bring him along on this mission? Or did they leave him behind? I took a few more steps into the hall until I reached the room where the pokeballs were located.

Surprisingly, or unsurprisingly, when I opened the door we came across Meowth with his arms full of pokeballs ready to make his way back to his was panic in his eyes when he noticed that he was caught, so he dropped the pokeballs that were in his arms and turned tails.

I couldn't allow that to happen so I did what any Pokemon Trainer would do and threw a pokeball at the back of his head. The ball knocked him forwards but before he could land on his face a white light consumed him and he was drawn into the pokeball.

I jumped down on the ball when it started to shake, there was no way in hell that I was going to let him escape. Wrapping my hands against the ball, I held it close even when the shaking became furious and desperate.

This little fucker is going to be captured whether he wanted it or not.

Did I obviously show off my wish fulfillment for a Meowth? Hell yeah! Do I regret it? Not really, but I would've loved an Alolan Meowth. They're so adorable.

What's your theory on why Team Rocket showed up in a different place?

What are they going to do now that Meowth is captured?

Here's the Pokemon Ash has and their moveset.

(Male) Aegislash (Sauron): Swords Dance, Iron Head, Shadow Ball, Close Combat, Sacred Sword, and King's Shield.

(Male) Charmander (Frodo): Growl, Scratch, and Ember.

*Frodo has Prolonged Evolution Disorder which as the name states, he will not be a Charizard until MUCH later. However, think of it like this, slow and steady will win the race or battle in his case.

(Male) Shiny Snivy (Legolas) : Overgrow, Tackle, Vine Whip, Attract, and Leaf Tornado.

(Male) Meowth: Scratch, Fury Swipes, Pay Day, Bite, and Taunt.

I fully believe that Meowth would be the master of shit talking and that he was born with taunt as a move.

Now that we have so many team members, it would be important to train them. So, we shall wait a while before Ash captures a team member not meant for trading.
