CHAPTER 17: Teleported To His Destiny!
"What do you mean '*she got away'*?! Butch, we need all the members we can get!" It was Jesse. They were still in that retched cave, no thanks to Butch. They had been looking for Lee ,and here they find Butch. They, or course, did not know about Ho-Oh. "Damn Jesse! She's just not important!" Butch said, defensively. "No, she is not important to you, Butch. You scoundral! You always have treated women this way. I bet that's why Cassidy here STILL has not spoken to you. You didn't even ask her to the prom, she says!" Jesse said, demandingly. Cassidy gave an obnoxious sniff. It sounded like a "snork" or a "snort" more than a "sniff."
Butch leaned on a rock. "I betcha that Abra you got that Giovanni feels the same way I do!" He said. "And if he doesn't?" Cassidy intruded. "Well well, little miss quiet speaks. If he doesn't feel that way-I will give him the Rare Pokemon you guys imagined!" Cassidy said, "I would never lie about rare Pokemon! It was THEE most beautiful thing EVER! It was golden in the moonlight. Fire shrouded it, and it left behind it's wake a rainbow!" "Nonsense. You must have seen some wimpy Cool Trainer what's-his-face Dragoniar. It would be a good steal, however." "Butch, you are so stubborn! You do realize that if you loose, you won't get leader Giovanni his whatever it was, and if you win, you don't get an Abra, cuz it's JAMES'S!" Cassidy said. "Well, Jesse can steal it away then. Jesse hardly EVER gets her Mon. Remember Ash Ketchum? I hear that he won the Orange Islands Pokemon League and he is the Master. Pfft! Jesse nor James will get Pika-OWW!" Meowth had walked up to Butch and Slashed him badly. "Hey, Butch. NO ONE makes fun of Jesse and James-except Meowth!" "Fine, have it that way. Time to settle this. I'll get Giovanni to come over here and-" "He and his Persian will ask you all what this is all about. Butch, my follower. Are you saying stuff about me behind my back? Tsk, tsk. Tsk." Giovanni had walked up to stop the troublesome fight.
"Leader! Master! Giovanni! I...No, sir! I would never do that." *To hell I would," was silently added. "I was just wondering, did Lee mean anything to us? Or is every member one more, one less?" Butch asked. "Why, Butch. I believe both. EVERY Rocket matters. It means one more evildoer. However, she was just one. And a weak one at that. Lee was not needed. She did not fit in with us. She might have been the end of us, being so kind and all. Just for friendly-" a sneer, "conversation, did you know she asked me if we needed the rare Pokemon we saw as much as we needed the Gods? They Gods may be Gods, but they are just a few in two hundred and fifty. Or was that fifty-one? I can never keep track, me living in a pit in he ground. But my hideout must make do. C'om now, precious Persian. Leave Meowth alone." Persian quit mocking and beating up Meowth. See, Meowth had bad luck with Persians. He, Meowth, was going to be a Mascot once, but a Persian took his place. Meowth had even been Giovanni's favorite Pokemon in the whole gang of Rockets. But then, another Meowth got attached to Giovanni. Then it evolved. It is now the only Pokemon that Giovanni loves truly, besides his first-caught-now-evolved-into-a-Nidoking. Meowth sighed as Jesse started to get James to give up the Abra.
"James, it's usless!! The Abra doesn't even FIGHT! It just teleports. Give it up, duffus." Jesse was saying to James. "Abra is more than that, Jesse! And "it" is "him" and HIS name is Tinkles!" James said. "Tinkles!? My gawd! Just let it go. You sound soooo sappy." You're right. Not like it would do any good to us anywho. Look at Arbok and Weezing. Thy don't do a thing we tell hem...Ad neither does Meowth-I mean! Ack! I'm gonna get a slashing if Meowth heard that," James gave a quick glance around. No Meowth. Then, he handed a Lure ball to Jesse. "Why did you put Abra in a lure ball? Lure balls are for fish Pokemon, Water-type, you know," "Oh. I thought Abra evolves into Seadra??" James said. Jesse fell head over heels. Literally. A few minutes later, Butch graciously received "Tinkles" and he put it in its ball. "I'm on my way to glory, sure enough," he thought, I have Ho-Oh. I, with that, am the most powerful trainer of all! I can destroy earth with a few strokes! And now with....'Tinkles'...I can teleport to where those Gods lie in waiting. Waiting for their fate, and my destiny! Mu-ha-ha-ha-faaaa!"
"Hey Butch, what's so funny??" It was Cassidy, who was just getting used to talking o Butch again. Butch blinked. Oh no! Did she hear me? Cassidy spoke up, "I know what you are thinking, and yes, I did hear you. Sooo, you have a Ho-Oh? Was that the rare Pokemon we all saw? And it's yours? I feel sorry for the thing. You better not let this slip, Giovanni will have your honor!" It was Cassidy's turn to laugh. "Very funny, Cassidy. Don't tell, please! Or else-" Butch stopped. He lost Lee with his brute strength; he didn't want to loose Cassidy. Was Butch becoming a player? Cassidy squirmed a bit. "I'm sorry, hun. Really, I am. Just...don't tell, okay?" Butch pleaded. "Oh, no. I'll tell. You can guarantee. After the way you treated me---" Cassidy gave Butch the quick finger. "Heh heh. Hey, Giovanni! Butch has something to show you!!!! He---" all of the sudden, a Radicate and a Scyther were at Cassidy's side. "Tell him. Sure. Scyther knows False Swipe, and it can cut though heavy trees and knock them down. Think of what it could do to such a beautiful, shapely body like yours. Call Giovanni off, Cassidy. Or suffer False Swipe, or maybe a Hyper fang." Butch had a vile look in his eyes. The rage pilled up in Cassidy. She tried to speak. It was a few seconds before she found her voice. Footsteps. Coming. If that's Leader Giovanni, then he will see me and save me! Butch you are a fool, Butch began to give the signal o Scyther. "Butch. Tsk tsk. Tsk. Call off your Scyther and your Radicate. What is your problem, Butch? I expected more from you. I was going to make you an Executive, too..." Giovanni sighed. As he came out, shadows covering him like a veil. His face was half hidden in pure darkness.
"Sir, I-I-" Butch began. He got out the old Safari balls and let his Mon back in. "Yes, Cassidy? What was that you were saying? Before you were mugged, of course." The Persian at Giovanni's side hissed. "Oh, Giovanni! It seems here that Butch has found the rare Pokemon for you. He said its name was Ho-Oh or something close to that. Wasn't that the Legendary one that was startled and rampaged some building in Ercuteak? Ho-Oh blew and burned the whole huge tower in one minute. The tower was twelve feet tall. The power it has! Power, Master!" Cassidy said grimly. Giovanni smirked. "Oh. I see. Thank you, Cassidy. And thank you, Butch. What a pleasure! Where did you find 'Ho-Oh'? Do tell your good leader." Giovanni sounded so evil when he said that. Yet, he kept a strait face; a face constantly showed by unseen demons that lurk in the shadows, hiding the sun from the man.
"I got it so I could get to the Poke Gods. But, alas, they have gone to earth from their throne. I was going to get them for m-I mean you. Sure, I would love to have the Pokemon Gods, however, you are my Leader. IN Section 177, book one, Rule regulations, the rule (number twenty seven,) it says, 'All glory to Thy Leader.'" Butch said carefully. Giovanni raised an eyebrow high. "Are you so sure of yourself? Butch. I'm ashamed. But, if I must... Punishment for overthrowing your Leader---your Master!, mans that you give me your best Pokemon. Hand over your Ho-Oh. Ho-Oh is mine! Ho-Oh is the key to immortality! Even the Gods will bow to me, so that I do not destroy their precious earth!" Sneered the Rocket Leader. He added, "And the Abra idea isn't bad either. Hand over the poorly named Pokemon. NOW!" Snapped Giovanni. Butch gave up the Lure and Master balls. Sulking, Butch backed away into the unknown.
"Thank you, Cassidy, and remind me to promote you. Peace with you always. I must leave. We all must. We are getting out of this cave!" Giovanni got out a megaphone from a nice case. 'ROCKETS! GLORY IS OURS, AND GLORY IS MOST FAVORED IN THE EYES OF YOUR LEADER! GATHER AROUND ME, AND PICTURE IN YOUR MIND THEY GODS! WE ARE TO TELEPORT AWAY, AND WHOM EVER DOES NOT MAKE IT, IS ON THEIR OWN AND ARE TO GO BACK TO KANTO!" Suddenly, Rocket members swarmed around Giovanni. Butch might not have been in the crowd. Cassidy did not know, not did she care. Giovanni held up Tinkles, and said to it, "To honor. To glory. To the Gods! Teleport me to them, Abra!" After a few snores, the surroundings grew into a haze, like a huge Mon just did the biggest Mist attack ever (if you could call Mist an "attack".) The walls glowed a green and purple haze, and the ground began to spin. Then a "pop" followed by a "whoosh!" came, and Giovanni stood in the middle of a meadow. In the town next to this meadow were K., Kiou, Lee, and the Gods. The Rockets drew closer. Giovanni could almost taste the fame he would have. Soon, I will own the world! He thought, Soon!...
"What do you mean '*she got away'*?! Butch, we need all the members we can get!" It was Jesse. They were still in that retched cave, no thanks to Butch.
