Rebirth of Fate
Episode 6:Vs.Angela
"Oh man! This is tiring!" Taz whined as he bicycled up the hill. His steady pedaling slowly wore out his muscles. This sunshine and cold wind, however, was relaxing for him. Taz cruised down the hill to a small town by the name of Trent Town.
What took him by surprise is that the whole place was barren as a basketball gym at 1 A.M. Not a human or creature in sight except-
"VOLTORB!!" several Voltorb started rolling towards him like frenzied bowling balls threatening to explode.
"Bulbasaur! Fast action Ground Whip!" Taz cried releasing the pokéball containing it.
"Bulbasaur!" Bulbasaur's vines glided along the ground before coming up and smacking the leader Voltorb, setting a chain reaction and making all of them explode. Taz withstood the blast.
"What the-" Before Taz could ask any more questions, he heard a faint "Pika!"
"PikaCHU!!" several thunderbolts crashed to Taz's left. After swearing, he called back Bulbasaur and split for the pokécenter.
"Quickly! In here!" he saw Nurse Joy frantically waving at him. Taz dashed inside before another Pikachu could zap him. Nurse Joy activated the steel covering.
"Why are all the electric pokémon wreaking havoc here?" Taz asked.
"I have a guess, but we basically have no idea," Nurse Joy responded sadly. Taz looked about the forlorn residents, wandering about the center. "All of a sudden, electric pokémon invade our town and drive us all inside to hide like cowards. Did you see any trainers?"
"No,"
"Like commanding them, I mean."
"Nope. I managed to kick some if their butts, though."
"Then my theory must be right. It is the Thunder Goddess of Evil..."
"Thunder what-what?" Taz asked, confused.
"Team Rocket sent us this e-mail saying this town is nestled right above a lake of Mako. If we didn't move out, they said they would summon their 'Thunder Goddess of Evil' upon the town."
"Shoulda known they'd do something like this. If that's the case, our 'Thunder Goddess of Evil' is probably a human infused with Mako. Probably why they want to mine here."
"He could be right," said Officer Jenny. "We have received reports of TR members using magical powers... This makes them all the more dangerous..."
"I'm going to take care of whoever she is," Taz said, brandishing his pokéballs.
"But that's dangerous!" Officer Jenny cried.
"We won't get anything accomplished staying in here. If we stop her, the threat to this town would end."
"He's right," Nurse Joy said.
"He should at least get some help from us," Officer Jenny said.
"I can start! Lemme heal your pokémon!" Nurse Joy cried happily. "We still have power, so it should still work."
Taz handed over his pokémon. He then heard his pokégear ringing. Taz cut on the video screen. To his irritation, the all- knowing Washu appeared. "Oh, boy," he muttered under his breath.
"Taz, this is urgent. Watch your back, as the Rocket sisters are after you..."
"Hey thanks! But um, listen. I'm in the middle of trying to rescue a town right now. Try and make this short, okay? Who are the Rocket Sisters?"
"The Rocket Sisters is a sort of division of Team Rocket composed entirely of girls/women infused with Mako. They have a tendency to disrupt an entire area just to lure a certain target. Be on guard."
"Okay, thanks! Bye! Gotta go! My pokémon are ready!"
"Hey WAIT-" but Taz hung up. He hated talking to Washu, as she always tends to give long, drawn out explanations about things, which is boring. Luckily, she had gotten to the point about the Rocket Sisters. Hopefully he won't be seduced by any one of them with good looks.
He dashed back to Nurse Joy, who handed him his pokémon. "Thank you!" he said.
"Your welcome. Officer Jenny is at the exit to escort you out. Be careful, and good luck!"
At that, Taz ran to Officer Jenny, ready to take on Team Rocket.
*****
"Alright! We're pretty close!" Officer Jenny announced over the roar of her motorcycle. Taz braced himself. As if he had psychic powers, he felt as if something rough would happen. Officer Jenny speeded up. Suddenly they had found themselves in a thunderstorm.
"Hang on tight!" she yelled. Taz braced himself again as she maneuvered around thunderbolts from the sky. After 30 seconds, Taz spotted a tree, oddly enough he could see someone on its branches.
Officer Jenny stopped the motorcycle nearby the tree. Cocking her gun, she stepped of the motorcycle. Taz did the same, his left hand on the pokéball that contained Scizor. She spotted a shadow. "Freeze! Police!"
But the only response was maniacal chuckling. Out of nowhere, a Thunderbolt hits both humans and paralyzes them. Taz released Scizor due to the shock.
"Scizor!" Scizor flared its pincers.
"Ooh hoo hoo! We have visitors!" said a voice. It reminded Taz of the Joker from Batman.
"Pika!" said voice number 2. We all know who that is.
"Urgh! Who are you?" Taz groaned, barely moving.
"Prepare for trouble and make it double!"
"Ah crap no!"
"To wreak the world with devastation!
"To unite Team Rocket under this nation!
"To get rid of the evil that is truth and love,
"To extend our wrath to the stars above!
"I am Angela, elite member of Team Rocket and the Rocket sisters, blasting off at the speed of light!
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Pika PIKA!" Pikachu cried. Pikachu, Angela, and a rather silent Electabuzz hopped from the tree.
"Oh boy, the Team Rocket reject parade," Taz moaned. "Scizor, keep 'em offa us."
"HOO hooo! Too late for that!" Angela crowed, dancing like an idiot. "D. Electabuzz! D. Pikachu! Team Rocket attack!"
Electabuzz picks up Pikachu and launches him like a slingshot towards Scizor. Pikachu gathers electricity like a bomb waiting to explode. Scizor smacks her back to Electabuzz. This begins a volleyball/hot potato match between two pokémon.
Electabuzz spikes Pikachu to Scizor, but Scizor saves it back and it flies in mid-air. A frustrated Pikachu performs Thunderbolt in the air, shocking all but Taz and Officer Jenny, who were protected by Scizor.
Taz called back the fallen hero. "Bulbasaur, GO!" He could only toss it, as throwing it would paralyze him again.
"Bulbasaur!"
"Bulbasaur, Ground Whip!"
Bulbasaur struck both of Angela's pokémon with the attack. Pikachu let out a faint "Pika!" before being blown away. Electabuzz just staggered back. Angela's Pikachu landed back on its feet, crippled, but still battle hungry. It ripped a Thundershock in Taz's direction, shocking him lightly.
"Augh, OGG..." Taz clutched his stomach in pain.
"What's da matter, fatso? Too electrified?" Angela jeered.
"Oh, shut UP," Taz gave the oncoming Pikachu a swift kick, blowing it sky high before it crashed onto the ground. It was history.
Angela gasps. "My prize dark Pikachu! Durn it! Electabuzz, fry him!"
Electabuzz charges up a Thunderpunch, but it is blocked by a vine from Bulbasaur, who receives a slight shock. Bulbasaur snarled and let loose yet another Ground whip, causing Electabuzz to double over in pain.
In a mad rage, Electabuzz attempted to leap up and smack down Bulbasaur, but missed.
Officer Jenny finally recovered and got a hold of her gun. "Freeze! You are under arrest!"
"Aw! You cops are no fun!" Angela whined. "I guess you have to learn the hard way..." she summoned up an electric disc and fired it at lightning speed, knocking her gun away. She aimed a Thunder punch, but Taz's reflexes told him to let loose with a pokéball, so he did. It smacks Angela in the face.
Noticing blood trickle from her cheek, Angela becomes enraged. "Grr! You'll pay for that, boy!" Angela prepares for a Thunder attack, but faster still, Taz throws pokéball number 2, smashing Angela in the face again. Electabuzz played defense and put a protective barrier around the two of them.
Bulbasaur returns to Taz's side. Officer Jenny marvels Taz's work. "Well done, Taz. But we're not finished yet."
"Right," Taz barked in agreement. "Bulbasaur! Break the barrier with your limit break!"
"Bulbasaur!!" our plant pokémon charges straight through the barrier and through the electric ones, sending all of them skyward.
"Augh! I lost again!" Angela cried as she was sailing through the sky. "Boss'll be furious and this was my first job!! WAHH!! Team Rocket's blasting off again!" Taz saw then disappear in the sky with a *ding* as if they were sent to the stars, traditional Team Rocket exit.
The clouds disappeared and sunshine filled the sky again. Bulbasaur stiffened.
"What's wrong?" Taz asked.
Bulbasaur began to glow, increasing in size. The flower on its back grew. At last it stopped. Bulbasaur had evolved.
"Whoa! I'm good, aren't I?" Taz bragged to no one in particular. "Excellent! I got an Ivysaur!"
"Ivysaur!" It roared in agreement.
"I'm keepin' you outside! It's our lucky day!" Taz and Ivysaur danced all the way to Officer Jenny's car. Jenny drove them back to the pokécenter.
"Excellent!" Nurse Joy cried. "You truly are a superior trainer!"
"Aw, it was nothin'," Taz said bashfully. Ivysaur agreed.
"Unfortunately we couldn't catch her, but at least this town is safe again!" Officer Jenny said.
"Yeah..." Taz trailed off. His phone rang again. Hopefully it wasn't Washu. He flicked on his video screen.
It was Rob. "Yo Taz!" he yelled. "How thangs goin'?" he put on his southern accent, which Taz thought was funny.
"Excellent dude! I just busted Team Rocket and evolved my Bulbasaur!" Taz said happily. He handed his other pokémon to Nurse Joy again.
"WHAT? Again? Hey! If I called you 5 minutes later, would you have a Venusaur?"
"Maybe," Taz answered, laughing.
"To tell you the truth, I called on much more serious matters. You said you had a run-in with TR, right?"
"Yeah."
"Chick?"
"Yeah. She said she was part of some TR group called the Rocket Sisters."
"Listen up. The Rocket Sisters are out to destroy us. It is advised that you watch your back, your friend's back, your pokémon's back and even your mother's back! Knowing them, they might have kidnapping plots up their sleeve..."
"Knowing YOU, I'd think you'd like that!" Taz said, doubling up in laughter.
"OH SHUT UP!!" Rob screamed.
"Seriously though, are they really out for our destruction?"
"Yeah, no telling what Keeli's up to. I'm worried, even though she's a rotten brat."
"You should check up on her."
"No contact."
Taz swore almost sadly. "I hope she's all right..."
"Take care of yourself, man."
"I will. Bye." Taz hung up. Keeli was in deep sludge unless something was done about it. Taz took back his pokémon just as a young-scientist-looking man approached him.
"Hello," he said. "I own the gym in this town, and I have heard about your legendary feats. Would you like to challenge me and my Unowns?"
"Yeah!" Taz never heard of a trainer who uses Unowns, but nevertheless he was happy to accept the challenge. Taz pushed Keeli to the back of his mind a he headed to the gym.

Keeli continues her training with her pokémon, but a sinister presence threatens her as well as her sister. Can she and her new pokémon save the day?
