Chapter LX- Rescue the Dragon of Death!
We had arrived in Ecruteak just a little past sundown, and were somewhat tired
from our flight. We all walked into the pokemon center together, and sat down on the
couch after we gave nurse joy our pokeballs when we turned the TV on and noticed some
interesting news.
"What the hell...????!!" I said and moved closer to the edge of the couch and the screen.
"It's a giant hole...? What happend!??" Erika turned around and yelled to the Nurse Joy
behind the counter,
"Hey! Can you turn this up a bit please? Thank you!" She turned back and we could hear
the news report over the slight din of people now. There was a reporter taping from a
helicopter there.
".....I'm coming to you live from the Charasific Valley in the Orange Islands, where we
have witnessed and extordianry event early this eveing..." Suddnely my phone rang, and I
immediatly picked it up.
"Hello?" Erika and Jarod leaned in closer to see if they could hear, while Noki continued
to watch the news report.
"Marcy? Marcy!! It's Ash!!" I heard Ash Ketchums voice on the other end.
"Ash? What's wrong? You sound kinda distrought...." I said as I held the phone close to
my ear and covered the other ear with my hand, whacking Erika lightly in the nose by
accident.
"Are you watching the news?? It's terrible!! The Charasific Valley's been destroyed!"
"What happend? A volcano?" I asked then wondered if our pokemon were ok.
"Here, talk to Charizard....you can understand him..." He said and there was a small ruffle
on his end. I listened to Charizard talk and all of a sudden my eyes got wide.
"WHAT??" I said and was speechless. I lowered the phone for a moment, covering the
mouth peice and told everyone.
"Somehing attacked the Charaisific Valley. He said it was a massive black dragon.
Charizard barely escaped, and says that while he was flying back to find Ash he say Team
Rocket Air ships heading to where the dragon was." I was stunned...I hoped most of all
that my Charizard escaped.
"We've gotta stop them!!" Noki said and pointed the the TV where the camera man had
zoomed in on the distant air ships.
"Yes we do. Especially since Charmeleon is there...." I said and got back on the phone
with Ash.
"Charmeleon!? Wait...do you mean that guy left her there??? EESH!!" Erika said as I
talked to Ash again.
"Ash, take care of your Charaizard. What's going on over there??" I asked as I could hear
the phone drop and Ash yell at Charizard. Of course, then I heard a flamethrower attack,
and Charizard picked up the phone and talked to me. My eyes opened wide. "That's not
possible Charaizard." I said but he contniued on.
*Your Charmeleon was first left by you. She was happy for a while, but soon became sad.
Then when she had to leave Roger and Blaze, it made the pain even worse. When she
came to the Characific Valley she was tiny and all the pokemon picked on her. Trust me
Marcy, I saw it happen, that black dragon you see on your screen is your Charmeleon,
evolved into a dragon of death.*
"HURRY!" I shouted to all of them as I closed the phone and ran to the counter.
"What's going on? Erika yelled as her, Jarod, and Noki began to pack their things up
again. Without turning around, I picked up Raichu and said simply,
"That monster is my pokemon. My problem."
"WHAT?" Jarod shouted and then added as he pointed to the TV, "Don't tell me that
force of nature is you Charmeleon!?" I turned around with tears in my eyes, and he looked
a little ashamed.
"I never should have left her! I know now it was a mistake! But it's too late! We have to
stop Team Rocket ourselves!! And we have to stop her from destroying everything in her
fury! Noki!!" I yelled and she jumped up, "Teleport us!" We all ran outside and gathered
around Sylebi, then teleported to several different places until we arrived at the Valley.
There were burned trees, steaming lava, dust and rocks everywhere.
"Above us!!" Noki shouted and the three of us spread our wings and flew up ward, not
carring that again, the press would have another field day.
"Charmeleon!!" I shouted and the huge black dragon turned to look at me. It was like
someone had opened a window in the middle of winter. Her eyes stared right through me,
piercing my soul. Her massive diamond yellow eyes glared with an unimaginable fury.
When I looked in her eyes I could feel the empty void that used to be where her master
once was. Where I should be. Her skeletal black wings stretched for what seemed miles,
her long spiked tail, a deadly weapon, and her claws like blades of shinning daggers. She
was a truely hummbling site to behold. And to top it off, she was pissed.
She roared massivly as she swated what seemed to be black pokeballs away from
her. We tried to fly close enough to hit them, and we got a few, but suddenly, there was a
massive roar that made the three of us cover our ears, as she was called into a pokeball.
Suddenly all the pokeballs went crazy, and flew back to their ships, except the one with
her in it. I tried to grab it, but just as I did, it returned to the singular ship that was
different then the rest. I couldn't see, but there was someone with a cape standing on the
dock, whose hand the pokeball returned to.
"You!!!!! That's MY pokemon!!!!!!! You BASTARD!!" I yelled and began to fly towards
them, but they mad a suprisingly quick gettaway as they fired their jets, blowing us off
balance, hurrling us to the ground at a rather excelerated pace. We all turned over and
spread our wings out straight just in time to stop from smashing into the ground. I
pounded the ground hard with my fist, which hurt like hell, but I didn't care. "DAMNIT!"
Jarod put his arm on my shoulder, which only aggrivated me more, but I tried my best not
to lash out at him; He was just trying to help after all.
"I...thought that Team Rocket fell apart after Giovannis death...?" Erika remarked and
Jarod, still with his hand on my back answered.
"I did for a little while....then this other person came and stepped up to the plate....Team
Rocket is actually a menace with this person at the wheel...who ever they are...." He began
to rub my back, and I calmed down a bit.
"So who the hell is this *mockingly* 'mastermind'?"
"Nobody knows...some say it's Giovannis wife...others say his daughter....some say just a
random Team Rocket member that was sick of taking orders. But no one really knows."
"Well I don't care who it is." I said, still with facing the ground, "But I will get her back
and give her the life she deserves."
"Right." Jarod and Erika agreed. Noki simply nodded.
"But....." Noki said and we all looked at her, "...how are we gonna get into the Team
Rocket HQ...? We don't even know where it is....sure there are a few bases here and there
that people know about, but they won't take her there, and it's not going to have a big sign
outside labeled 'TEAM ROCKETS SECRET HEAD QUARTERS'...you know?" We all
looked at each other and couldn't help but let a small giggle slip. She did have a very good
point.
"Hey! Com on! Wait a minute! You guys think about it! Who works for Team Rocket that
we know...?" He said raising an eyebrow.
"Jessie and James!!!!" Me and Erika shouted and I jumped to my feet.
"Ughhh..." Erika said, "...but we don't know where they live...."
"You don't.....I do^_^ I talked to James just the other day. They're hidding out in Violet
right now. They have a small house there until people forget they used to work for Team
Rocket. We can go find them there!"
"Score!" I said and picked up Raichu as Jarod called out Pegesedon, Erika jumped onto
Ryu and Noki got on her Charizard.
We flew back for a long while to CherryGrove City, which was closest to the
Orange Islands, then continued until we arrived in Violet. I didn't think we'd ever see this
msall town again, but as we flew over it, it seemed cute and quaint with it's small wood
homes. We finally landed infront of a small, but beautiful house that was far up in the
north of Violet.
We had arrived in Ecruteak just a little past sundown, and were somewhat tired
