~~~Flameheart's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We travelled south like what Astroleon said. It was strange, seeing Aquafire as a huge silver Arcanine with black stripes on its body, but I guess it was something we all had to get used to. From what Astroleon said to Aquafire psychically, the trip to the Rainbow Valley would take at least two days, and over rough and treacherous terrain.
"Aquafire, what made you evolve?" Arbiter asked. I think he wanted to evolve into a Charmeleon because Aquafire was able to evolve, but I couldn't be sure.
"I dunno," Aquafire replied. "I just felt an immense power build up inside of me. But I evolved while I was unconscious, so I can't really be sure."
"I wonder whether I can evolve," wondered Firestrike.
"Who knows?" Calypso asked. "Typically, Growlithes can only evolve with a Fire Stone, but Aquafire was able to do without."
After that, the group walked on in silence, each pondering their own thoughts. My main thought was, will we be safe when will we get to Rainbow Valley?
~~~Aquafire's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was strange being so big. Before, I was a little silver Growlithe, and now I'm a silver Arcanine. Seriously weird.
I was leading the entire group to some destination south on instinct and extremely vague instructions from Astroleon. Sometimes, I wished he gave better instructions.
Just then, the trees ahead rustled because of something coming. The trees burst and out came a line of about five humans. Other humans, about ten, surrounded us behind as well, making it about fifteen humans against us. They all were wearing black clothing with a big red R on the shirt. All of the pokémon had the same blind and blank look on their faces like Rachelle's had when we battled her last.
"Well well, what do we have here?" laughed a familiar voice from behind the front row of humans. I looked on as I saw Roy, Derek, and Rachelle come out from behind.
"Oh god, it's Roy, Derek, and Rachelle!" acknowledged Kirin fearfully.
"It looks as though the little pokémon from the labs are back!" replied Derek. "And the shrimpy silver one evolved!"
"Thought you'd seen the last of us huh?" asked Rachelle, smiling evilly. Everyone in the group fanned out and gave the people in black clothing their most ferocious growls and snarls. None of them even flinched!
"Nice try, but these are the toughest Team Rocket members, unfazed by everything!" said Roy, his face still badly scarred and burned.
"Everyone, all out attack!" Roy ordered, pointing at us. All fifteen of the Team Rocket members sent out three pokémon each! So the odds were 45 on 14, definitely not in our favor.
"This doesn't look good," I heard Larissa say grimly.
"You can say that again," replied Redyan.
"Didn't we say it before?" asked Derek. "We'll catch all of you!"
"Oh puh-leeze!" Rachelle said. "You failed miserably, and I was the one who set up this trap!"
"We were the ones who found them in the valley!" Derek countered back.
"Looks like they're arguing over us," Shockwave whispered.
"We should take this advantage," Lunar said. "It may be the only one we can get."
"All right, everyone, attack!" I yelled, charging into three pokémon, a Weepinbell, a Butterfree, and a Poliwag. I used my Take Down attack on them, and then my signature move, Dragon Rage. Both the Butterfree and Weepinbell caught on fire, blue fire, and started running around aimlessly. The Poliwag just stood there. It attacked me with a fierce Water Gun attack. The water hurt me a little, since after all, I was still part fire. By now, I was pretty ticked off. I let out a huge Psychic, and the purple- black orb of energy hurled Poliwag back to its master. I turned on Roy, Derek, and Rachelle.
~~~Calypso's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I used my Aurora Beam on a Kadabra, Graveler, and Arbok. The rainbow colored beam of light hit all three. The Graveler's hard body was chipped up and Kadabra just blocked it with its Barrier. Arbok, however, didn't have any defensive attacks, so it took the full force of my Aurora Beam, and was thrown back to its trainer, a dark clothed Rocket with blue hair. The Kadabra and the Graveler were still up and fighting. Kadabra sent off a psybeam at me, and the Graveler started hurling boulders the size of a chair at me. I barely managed to dodge the onslaught of psychic energy and huge rocks. I sent off another attack, this time my Ice Beam. The white- blue beam of devastating ice hit both Graveler and Kadabra, trapping them in a block of ice. I took up a position alongside an extremely angry Aquafire.
~~~Kirin's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me and Arbiter teamed up on the six pokémon against us. We combined our powers, I used my Voodoo, and Arbiter used his Flamethrower attack. Voodoo hits the opponent, and as it slowly drains my own energy, it drains twice the energy in the opposing pokémon. I launched my Voodoo at a Muk and a Golduck. The Voodoo was a pack of energy shaped like a sharp dagger, which hit both Muk and Golduck. I felt my energy being slowly drained, but also saw Muk and Golduck collapse from the energy drain. Finaly, all of the energy was sucked dry from both of them, and they both collapsed to the ground. Their trainers quickly recalled them into their pokéballs. There was still a Wartortle, a Magmar, a Grimer, and a Pidgeotto still left. I was about to use my Voodoo on them again, but Arbiter stopped me.
"I can handle it," Arbiter said, his eyes slowly turning a wicked shade of black-purple. "Go stand against Roy, Derek, and Rachelle alongside Aquafire and Calypso."
Looking kind of antsy about leaving Arbiter against four tough looking pokémon, I left and stood alongside Calypso, ready to attack if needed.
~~~Arbiter's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was gathering energy, all the energy I had in my body. I dimly saw the trainers order their pokémon to attack me. Before they were able to attack, however, I released all of the pent up energy inside of me into a fire/dark energy blast. The blast hit all four, and sent them flying back to their trainers, who promply recalled them into their pokéballs. They shot me looks which could freeze water, and regrouped behind the other Rocket members that the others had defeated. Suddenly, I felt the power that Aquafire was talking about earlier. A white glow surrounded my body, and I felt my tail grow longer and the flame grow hotter. I also felt myself grow taller, and a kind of horn rise on my head. I had evolved! I went over to the others, and took up fighting stances against Derek, Roy, and Rachelle.
~~~Rokon's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blade, Shockwave, and I were fending off nine pokémon, who just kept on atatcking us with devastating attacks like a Nidorino's Horn Attack, a Nidorina's Poison Sting, and a Marowak's Bonemerang.
"I don't think we can defend against this much longer," I gasped, releasing a Thundershock.
"I'll remedy that!" Blade yelled.
Blade jumped high into the air, and dug into the ground, disappearing down a dark hole. Shockwave let off a psychic blast, which hit the Nidorino and Nidorina square in the head, tossing them back about twenty feet. My Thundershock shocked a Poliwhirl into unconsciousness. Blade exploded from the ground, and attacked the rest of the pokémon, the Marowak, a Tauros, and a Dewgong, and blowing them back to their trainers. The Rockets recalled their pokés, and regrouped.
The three of us went alongside Aquafire and took up our battle stances, staring stonily at the three.
~~~Redyan's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The rest of us attacked in one big group against the remaining twenty five pokémon, all of us using our most powerful attacks, like Lunar used his dark energy orb, Firestrike used his Fire Blast, and Flameheart used his Flamethrower/Ice Beam mix, a devastating combination. They managed to put away the rest, and we grouped alongside Aquafire and Calypso.
"We may have lost the battle, but we will win the war!" cried Rachelle as she threw a flash bomb at her feet, sending up a gigantic blast of white smoke which enveloped all of the Rockets, including Derek, Rachelle, and Roy. When the white smoke cleared, all of them were gone without a trace.
"We won!" I cried.
"We beat them all!" Flameheart cried.
"And look, Arbiter evolved!" said Lunar, pointing to Arbiter. She was now a dark Charmeleon with a stripe down its back.
"And feelin' good about it too!" said Arbiter.
"Let's continue our journey to the south!" cried Shadow. Although we were all tired, the victory over the Rockets had bolstered out spirits. But we could never foretell what was coming next.
