The Messenger part 4: Gym leader rumble
By Xen

"Celadon city. Worst smelling city in the indigo isles. If your a guy a least. And there is one pokemon here." Maximus walked down the street of the city. Maximus thought to himself. "When I just Max, I remember almost choking on that those perfumes. And I still am. Of course then I couldn't say anything since the bitch gym leader wouldn't fight any one that didn't like that crap. But now I'm Maximus and I don't need to get badges. This is going to be a fun." Maximus reached the gym. "Gee I'm not even inside and already I'm gagging." Maximus entered the gym. A secretary greeted him.
"Hello, how may I help you?" She asked.
"Yes, I'm here to see the gym leader."
"Ok, can you please wait here." The secretary went into the back. She shortly came back with Erika.
"How may I help you?" Erika asked.
"Is it true that you own a Tangela?"
"Yes, I do. Is that all?"
"No. You can be a great help to me, by handing over your Tangela?" Maximus took out his sword and held it under the secretary's throat. "Or I spill blood."
"Ok. I'll give you Tangela." Erika handed over a pokeball. Suddenly a cloud of pollen came into the room. "Gloom use your stun spore, on that guy."
"Gloom." Gloom prepared to release it spores, but Maximus aimed his sword at Gloom and froze it.
"You shouldn't have done that. Now you're going to have to pay the price." Maximus swung his sword and sliced the Gloom. Its frozen body shattered to the ground.
"Noooooooo!" Erika fell besides the Gloom shards.
"That is what you get when for attacking the messenger. Don't try anything else." Maximus left the gym and vanished down the street.
"What do we do know?" The secretary asked.
"Call the cops. I want to report this. This man isn't getting away with this." Erika said weeping in sorrow and anger.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Maybe I should be more careful. I killed a pokemon and damaged a few people. The cops should really be after me by now. Then again, they have no idea where I might be next. They shouldn't be much trouble. After all what could one Jenny do to me." Maximus entered the Cerulean gym, only to face a fleet of Officer Jenny's. Guns faced at him.
"Freeze scumbag. You're being charged with pokemon thieving and assault." One of the Jenny's said.
"So, this isn't the Jones wedding?"
"We know your the pokemon thief that been stealing form the other gyms."
"Surrender now and we won't shoot."
"As much as I would like to... I have my mission and you're standing in my way. I just suggest you all CHILL!" Maximus quickly takes out his sword and creates a blizzard freezing the Jenny's before they could fire.
"Wow talk about taking it literally. And you gals shouldn't worry. You'll thaw out in a while, but by then I'll be gone and you will never find me again that easily." Maximus said as he walked passed the frozen cops. Maximus kicked down to the door and enter the pool arena. Three women stood on the other side of the pool.
"Who are you?" The blond demanded.
"I'm am here for two of your pokemon. I want your Dewgong and Horsea."
"Never! Dewgong is our gym's main pokemon and Horsea is our little sisters pokemon." The pinked hair one said.
"We'll never give our pokemon to you!" The blue harried one said.
"So you think that you stand a match to me. I case you didn't notice I defeated that squad of Jenny's back there and you think defeat me. I really don't want to kill you, but I will if you don't give me the pokemon." The three girls stared nervously at Maximus.
"Dewgong. Horsea. Come up." The blonde-haired woman said. A Dewgong and Horsea popped their heads out of the water.
"Thanks for making the right choice. Someday you will see that what the purpose of this was. Capture." Maximus's sword shot two beams at the two pokemon and they became encased in pokeballs. Maximus took the pokeballs. "Again thank you for not being stupid." Maximus left the gym.
"So, what do we do now?" Lily asked.
"We got to thaw out the Jenny's. They can stop him." Rose said.
"But this guy was already in Celadon and Saffron. He must be gone by now." Daisy said.
"But he took our pokemon. We just can't let him get away with that."
"He also didn't kill us. Sabrina and Erika where hurt because they probably fought back. We should be happy he didn't hurt us."
"Good point."
"I just hope the others would be as smart as us."
---------------------------------------------------------
Maximus appeared outside the Viridian City gym. "I've never been to this gym before. Gee looks real fancy. Hope I don't have to do much damage." Maximus walked to the two guards at the door. "Um yes I'm here to see the gym leader."
"Enter." One of the guards spoke. The door opened slowly and Maximus entered. Inside the gym, it was dark.
"Hello is anyone home." A light turned on at the back of the room. A man stood in the light.
"So, I see the pokemon thief that's been running around has come to my gym. What ever could you want form me?" The figure spoke.
"I take it your Giovanni."
"That I am. Now why are you here?"
"I'm here for Rhyhorn."
"Only my Rhyhorn? It's not one of my strongest pokemon. Why would want only my Rhyhorn?"
"That is for my eyes-only. But I will tell you that Rhyhorn holds a great importance for who it's for."
"And who is my Rhyhorn for?"
"I'm getting bored here. Just give it now and you get to walk form this."
"And I so really hoped you would stay for what I have to offer. You could be a real force in my organization. But if that what you want, here." Giovanni threw down a pokeball. Maximus caught the pokeball and threw it to the ground.
"What are trying to pull here? That's an empty pokeball."
"I see you tell that was a dud, but no one takes form me and gets away with it. Kill him." The rest of the room became lit showing the massive amount of guards, all pointing guns at Maximus.
"What is it with and pointing guns at me?"
"I think if know what's good for you, you'll join my organization."
"And if I don't?"
"My guards will kill you."
"Hum. Interesting offer. However, I must decline. You're just making this hard on yourself." Maximus sprinted off toward Giovanni. The guards fired, but missed. Maximus grabbed hold of Giovanni. "I suggest you stop, unless you want to kill your boss." The guards put their guns down. "Now I'll be take what I came for." Maximus took a pokeball. "I'll be going now." Maximus threw Giovanni into his guards and quickly ran out of the gym. Before leaving, he had one final word. "You should glad that you're important to this future, otherwise I would have killed you. Oh yeah and if you tell the police about this, I'll tell the world about you and team rocket." Giovanni got up and stared into the direction Maximus left. Giovanni then turned to his guards.
"Don't just stand there. I want every field team out there, searching for him. He's too a big of threat to just have him loose." Giovanni guards left to follow their orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maximus appeared on the top of a mountain. "Man it hot up here. I wonder what could make this place so hot?" Maximus looked around and his eyes went wide when he realized where he was. "I'm on top a volcano! I just hope this doesn't blow. Just my luck. Now lets see where this Magmar is?" Maximus places the opal to eyes and views the location of the Magmar. "It's in the volcano. Just great. What this?" Maximus stares into the opal. "Ah theirs an arena in this volcano. I guess this must be Cinnabar Island then. I heard about the gym leader using the volcano as a gym. I guess its true. I'll just stand here and wait till he brings out the Magmar then I'll strike." Maximus looks thought the opal seeing the match. Suddenly Maximus notices something. "Wait a minute. The fire master is here! I guess that makes this trip a bit easier." Maximus continued waiting till Blaine summoned his Magmar. "Looks like my que. I know this is going to hurt later." Maximus jumped down into the volcano. Maximus landed upon the battle platform above the magma.
"What the? Who are you?" Blaine demanded. Him and the other trainer stared in disbelief of a man just jumping in the middle of their match. Not to mention the fact that he did this in the middle of a volcano.
"I have come for the Magmar and you Damian." Maximus said.
"How do you know my name?"
"You'll know once you remember." Maximus quickly turned the blade towards Damian. "Unlock." A beam stuck Damian and turned red, then faded. "Now for the Magmar." Maximus quickly ran behind the Magmar and pushed it with the side of his sword. The Magmar stumbled towards Damian. As it got close, it turned white and changed. Damian caught the changing Magmar as the glow faded. The Magmar was now a two-handled battle-ax. The leather handle was a fierily red and on one side of the ax, the blades were shaped like fire. "Now I hate waste time to question you but, lets just go." Maximus grabbed Damian and both vanished. Blaine stood there in disbelief.
"My Magmar?" Blaine stood there for a while. "Oh well. I'll just have to use another Magmar." Blaine pulled out a small whistle and blew it. A group of Magmars came out of the magma pool. "Now, just which will I use now."
------------------------------------------------------------------
The door of fire closed shut as Maximus lay down and rubbed his legs. "Note to self. Do not do something that stupid again. I almost blew out my knees. I got to be more careful. Now lets see, that Magmar was last pokemon that isn't near their master, so now its just finding the owners now." The opal on Maximus sword glowed. "Oh what, I forgot one?" Maximus held the opal to his eye. "The electric? That's the one with the two other masters. Well since I have one of them and the other is right there, they should be next." Maximus stood and raised his sword over his head. "Sword, take me to my target." Maximus vanished form the ancient ruins.
