Project AIF1
Chapter 2: Light Screen
Brock blinked at Misty's piercing yell. "Mmm?" he murmured through a mouthful of chicken.
"Toge?" Togepi blinked along with him, then hopped down from the bench and waddled in the direction of Misty's voice.
"Hey, Trogepi, come back here!" Brock swallowed, then ran after the baby Pokémon.
Misty stared at 'Project AIF1' in shock, for the first time getting a good look at her. The girl was dressed in an ebony catsuit, and Misty could just make out a small red 'R' on the breast pocket.
"Oh I get it," she snarled, "You're a member of Team Rocket. Well guess what, you can't have Pikachu!" She slid in front of the unconscious bodies, ready to protect them with her life.
AIF1 thought about it for a bit. "Team Rocket were my creators," she admitted. "But I was not sent after 'Pikachu'. Only the boy - and his friends." She gestured with a robotic hand and focused her emotionless face on Misty.
Misty was again shocked. She reworded her question. "Forget about who are you, what are you?"
AIF1 processed the words in her artifical mind. "Access forbidden to outsiders. Oh yes, I forgot."
Blinkage ensued.
AIF1 closed her eyes. "Raichu."
Misty screamed as another ball floated up and opened, revealing Raichu. She knew all of her other Pokémon would be useless against an Electric type, so she did the only thing she could.
"TOGEPI!!!!!!!!!"
"Toge!" Much to her relief, Togepi ran into the clearing, stood in front of Misty and instinctively started doing what Togepis do best: Metronome.
"Toge, toge, toge, toge, toge, toge.." it chanted, waving its paws side to side.
"Raiiiii..." The Raichu's cheeks heated up, sending sparks into the air.
"Toge!"
"CHU!!!"
A genetically-enhanced Thunder Bolt powered against Togepi's Light Screen. Misty's fearful eyes could be seen from the corners of Togepi's own eyes as it strained to maintain the shield. Misty, seeing Togepi's galactic struggle, grabbed hold of Ash's collar, briefly considered putting Pikachu into a Poké Ball, dismissed the idea in favour of cradling it in her other arm, and shouted at her Pokémon.
"Togepi! Keep it up just a little bit longer! On the count of three, run , OKay?" The baby Pokémon nodded. "One.. Two.." Misty made sure she had a firm grip of both trainer and Pokémon and got ready to run. "THREE!"
"Hey - Misty - what happened? AAHHH!"
Both Misty and Togepi had done Roadrunnners, leaving Brock to take the full brunt of the attack. The bolt passed through his body, crumpling him to the ground, and thus he fell unconscious. Raichu stood rooted to the spot, blinking. Instead of hitting the girl, the boy, and the two Pokémon, its attack had hit a weird teenager who came out of nowhere.
AIF1 shrugged and recalled the electric mouse. The boy was probably a friend of Ash Ketchum's anyway. She walked up to the boy and kicked it, feeling a slight pulse through her genetically sense heightened foot. Good, the brat was still alive. She had recieved no orders to kill them, just give them a scare and maybe hurt them a bit. It was time to report to the Boss.
