~~~Kirin's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Rockets had us surrounded on all sides. Everyone was ready for a fight if it came to that, and it was looking more and more like that by the seconds. Aquafire was still possesed, and Darkpsy looked like he didn't care whether some of us died or not, because he didn't seem worried. Calypso and Shockwave however, the stand-in leaders of our group, were looking extremely nervous and edgy. I was kind of worried as well. When you have a group of probably twenty Rockets with at least three pokémon each, you'd be worried too.
"Now, will you surrender willingly or will we have to hurt you?" laughed Rachelle. "And we sincerely don't want to do the latter," she finished, voice dripping with sarcasm.
"What are we gonna do?!" cried Shadow.
"Yeah, they outnumber us at least four to one!" said Flameheart worriedly.
"All right, everyone break up into pairs and get ready to fight!" ordered Calypso, standing alongside Shockwave. I knew why: An electric + water attack is devastating to most pokémon. Combine that with Caly's extra electrical abilities and Shockwave's Dark powers, they were nearly unstoppable. I teamed up with Lunar. I noticed that Rokon and Blade were a team, along with Fireburst and Redyan.
"So, you wanna fight?" asked Derek. "You got it! Battle!"
"Get ready for battle!" yelled Shockwave as the ten Rockets sent out their thirty or so pokémon. I didn't know whether any of us would get out of this alive, or would some of us get killed in the battle.
~~~Calypso's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I charged at the first Rocket's pokémon, a Nidorino, a Pidgeotto, and a Beedrill. The Nidorino tried using its Horn Attack on me, but I just managed to dodge the sharp horn atop its head. I shot my Water Gun at it, and added in some of my electrical energy. The mix hit not Nidorino, but Pidgeotto instead, sending streams of electricity coursing through its body and sending it to the ground, knocking it out. The Rocket recalled it.
As I attacked Pidgeotto, the Beedrill used its Poison Sting attack at me, striking me in the back with the sharp points.
"Aaaahhh!!" I cried out in pain and agony. As I looked, I saw that the needle was filled with a purple colored poison. I could feel the poison seeping through my body and my vision begin to cloud. Shockwave saw this, came running over, and used his Thunderbolt on the Beedrill. The attack sent it smoking to the ground. Its trainer recalled it.
"Are you all right?!" Shockwave asked frantically as he was trying to defend against Nidorino's Horn Attack.
"I'm......fine..." I managed to say before I collapsed on the ground, all my energy drained, the poison coursing through my body. Shockwave used his Thunder attack on the Nidorino, summoning a huge thunderbolt from the negative ions in the sky. The electricity hit the Nidorino square in the back. It took the hit, and stood there for a moment, looking like it wanted to fight some more, before tipping over on its left side. It was knocked out. Shockwave came over.
~~~Shockwave's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We have to get you out of here!" I said to Calypso, trying to drag her to the side, where Darkpsy in Aquafire's body was standing, aloof of the entire battle.
"N-no...Shockwave..." she said. "I have to fight...to protect everyone!" The effort must have taken her a lot, because she collapsed back to the ground.
"No, I'll help the others," I said, leaving her by Darkpsy/Aquafire and running back to help everyone else.
~~~Rokon's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I barely managed to dodge a Body Slam attack from a huge Snorlax. I honestly didn't think something that large could move like that, but the Snorlax was about as fit as a Machoke, making the battle extremely dangerous. I used my Flamethrower on the huge brute, burning it on the stomach, but it looked unfazed from the blow. It charged at me again, this time with its Headbutt attack on me.
"Aaahhh!" I cried as the pain shot through my little body. The blow sent me flying a good ten feet away, landing hard on the ground. Blade came running over, defending against the sharp pinchers of a Kingler.
"Are you all right, Rokon?!" he asked, still defending against the Kingler. I slowly nodded my head yes, but it took a lot of my energy to do so. I felt Blade pick me up by one of his scythes and run me over to where Darkpsy was. I also noticed that Calypso was there too, injured badly. Blade set me down.
"Rokon, stay here. I'll fight," said Blade, turning back to the sounds of battle.
"Blade," I said as I saw him run back into the turmoil of the battle.
~~~Blade's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I turned back to the Snorlax and Wartortle that were still left. I had been able to k.o. the Kingler with one slash of my scythes. I used my Double Team attack, sending out projections of myself. The replicas surrounded the Wartortle and Snorlax, throughly confusing them. I laughed inwardly as I saw the Snorlax try to Body Slam one of the replicas. It landed hard on its stomach, but leaped back up, ready to fight as ever. Wartortle tried to Hydro Pump anotehr one of the replicas, but it disappeared right when it was hit. As the two pokémon were trying to attack my replicas, I performed my Swords Dance, readying my final blow.
Finally, both pokémon had made all of my replicas disappear, leaving me out in the open, but I was ready now.
This one's for Rokon, I thought as I channeled all of my energy into a huge Agility/Slash attack. I blew by the Wartortle and Snorlax, slashing them with all of my strenghth. Both looked stunned for a moment before collapsing to the ground, blood seeping out onto the ground through the many numerous gashes that I given them. The Rocket recalled them and shot an icy glare at me.
~~~Redyan's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I don't know how much longer we can take this," I gasped as another Graveler charged at me. I shot my String Shot at it, wrapping it up tight in white, sticky silk.
"Me neither," Fireburst replied, sending a Fire Spin attack at a Weepinbell that was attacking her, sending the grass pokémon burning and scorched to the ground. The Rocket that we were up against had six pokémon, making our battle harder than the others.
There was now only one more pokémon that we had to beat, a Fearow.
"Fireburst, pick me up and drop me on top of the Fearow!" I yelled.
"You got it!" came the reply as Fireburst picked me up by my back and flying me up into the sky. The Fearow tried to use its Peck attack on me, but Fireburst flew out of its way. Right when the Fearow passed by, Fireburst released the grip on my back, sending me flying right onto the Fearow's back. Fearow tried to peck me from the front, but its neck was too short to attack.
"Take this!" I yelled, screeching into its ear. The Fearow screeched out in pain and agony. I then used my String Shot right at its head, blinding it. It tried to stay level, but because it couldn't see, it went into a dive straight for the ground. I leaped off of its back to avoid slamming into the ground along with it. I sent out a silk line towards a fairly tall elm tree, and the line caught me. As I hung suspended in the air, I heard the sickening sound of bones snapping as the Fearow landed right onto its left wing, breaking it. It stood up and let out a cry of pain. The wing hung off at an awkward angle. Its master recalled it and shot me a look full of hate and anger. Fireburst came gliding down onto the tree branch from which I hung.
"We should go help the others," Fireburst said. I didn't say a word, just let out some more line until I was on the ground. Both Fireburst and I ran and flew off to help everyone else.
~~~Lunar's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I shot out an orb filled with dark energy towards a Kadabra which was trying to use a Psychic on me. The orb cut right through the purple-black psychic orb like a hot knife through butter, hitting Kadabra square on the chest, hurling it back to where its master was standing. The Rocket recalled Kadabra into the pokéball. That left a huge Nidoking which towered over me, blocking out some of the bright sunlight shining down on everything. An extremely intimidating sight, but I wasn't ready to back down yet.
"Why don't you give up already?" asked the Rocket, scowling. I didn't reply. I didn't even react to this. "Heh, Nidoking, Horn Drill!"
The horn atop Nidoking's head started whirring and spinning amazingly fast. It charged at me, horn down.
I leaped out of the way, but the horn just grazed my tail, sending some of my dark fur flying into the light breeze.
"You asshole, that's my tail!" I yelled, enraged. I charged up my dark powers, and released a huge orb of black energy at the Nidoking even larger than the Snorlax that Blade was fighting. The energy impacted Nidoking right on the stomach and shest, hurling it into a boulder on the side of the path. The boulder split right down the middle from the impact. Nidoking lay still. The Rocket was forced to recall it.
~~~Aquafire's p.o.v. (in his mind)~~~~~~~~~~~
I couldn't do anything. Darkpsy had control, and I was forced to watch as my friends were injured, bleeding, poisoned, basically beat up by the Rocket's pokémon. In my mind, I heard Darkpsy laugh at the carnage.
I have to help them!! I yelled to Darkpsy.
No, I rather like watching all of this, laughed Darkpsy.
NO!! I want to fight! I yelled. I have to help my friends!
You wish, said Darkpsy. You have no power here. And besides, it's much more fun hearing your screams of anger and cries of pain.
So that was it. I was forced to watch as my friends fought and were slowly being defeated.
~~~Arbiter's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was hurt. Badly. I had at least a dozen cuts all over my body. Larissa wasn't doing so well either. She was cut all over her wings with blood trickling down the edges, and it must've really hurt, because she could barely stay up in the air. The scratches and cuts were from the two pokémon who were attacking us, a Victreebel and a particularly wicked Sandslash. No matter what I did, the Sandslash was able to counter and attack me. Larissa could occasinally get a hit in, but the hits were scarce. I couldn't do anything, but then I thought of something.
"Larissa!" I yelled. "Make it look like you're attacking, then switch to the Sandslash! I'll switch to the Victreebel!" I knew that the trainer couldn't understand us, and the pokémon were brain-dead as it was, so they didn't understand the instructions.
Larissa divebombed the Victreebel, and at the last minute, turned and fired a Water Gun at the Sandslash, weakening it severely. I turned to the Victreebel and used my Flamethrower on the Victreebel, catching it on fire and burning it. I took satisfaction in its frantic running, trying vainly to put out the flames. The Rocket recalled the Victreebel. I then turned to the Sandslash and sttacked it with my Slash attack, k.o.'ing it. The Rocket recalled that too.
All the Rockets had been defeated. They grouped behind Roy, Derek, and Rachelle.
"You may have won this, but you won't win next time!" yelled Roy, throwing a flash bomb at the ground, sending up a cloud of smoke. The smoke cleared, and the Rockets were gone.
We all now nursed our wounds there on the ground. Calypso was the worst injured. The poison was devastating. The sun was setting the sky alight with brilliant reds, oranges, and yellows. If Calypso could survive through the night, she'd live, but otherwise...none of us wanted to think about that outcome.
