Chapter 4: Espeon-age in Team Rocket's Base
Wex: Well, at least they know what Pokémon this Psycho is beforehand.
Yep, he's one of the best, the first of the non-legendary Psychos and the first one with a gender.
Roo: You sure like introductions, don't you? Anyway, thank you, reviewers, the Psychos' Stories wouldn't be able to continue without you. Let's continue the story...
________________________________________________________________________
Though Hot Psycho helped the young man win many battles, he still couldn't win a few. The Stadium which he battled in day after day wouldn't give him a break, and every time he battled that darn Cooltrainer, he lost. The three Psychos' power together still couldn't match what Psycho's power originally was. Ash... Jeez, the kid couldn't stop thinking about how Team Rocket had almost literally chased him out of the country. He'd never be able to come back, and with Team Rocket's boss ruling half of Kanto with an iron hand, trainers couldn't freely go to Lavender Town, Saffron City, or Fuchsia City any more. Kanto's Elite Four officially expelled the new Gym Leaders that Team Rocket used as a puppet government in Saffron and Fuchsia and allowed the former Gym leaders, Sabrina from Saffron and Janine, Koga's daughter, from Fuchsia, to continue running their gyms from the Indigo Plateau itself. He knew that he had to do something to stop Team Rocket, but the only way he could do something that drastic was to get into Team Rocket's headquarters and stop the bosses before they could take over any more of his country.
"We appear to be going somewhere, Psycho." Hot Psycho thought from his Poké Ball.
"Where are we headed? Neo Psycho?" Mewtwo thought.
"We're headed due south on Route 17. After analyzing our trainer's thoughts, we seem to be on our way to Fuchsia City."
"Ah, what a great day!" the trainer shouted to the Pokémon around the Bike Path that he was riding down, "Nothing could be better than getting an Eevee and then actually being able to buy another TM 29, just to use on one lucky Pokémon that could even be as powerful as these three one day."
Suddenly, the trainer spotted something in the grass on the side of the road. It seemed to be a fire type, and with his Eevee being his first Pokémon to send out, he could take it down quickly.
"All right, Eevee, use Tackle!"
"Vee! Eevee!" the small, yet surprisingly high-leveled Eevee said happily before he used the attack his trainer commanded him to use. Just as the trainer expected, Slugma was knocked out in one hit, even before it could attack.
"Yeah! All right, Eevee!" the trainer yelled, before hearing "Your Eevee has just gained level 52." in a robotic voice.
"Great! Now for that Slugma..." The Slugma cowered in fear, remembering its former bad experiences with humans. "Here you go, Slugma, here's a Berry. Good luck with your future training!" The Pokémon couldn't believe it. There had never been a trainer who actually helped it to heal before it was attacked again, this guy was something special. The Slugma decided that it would wait for this trainer to come by again, and then maybe he would let the Slugma come along with him. Slugma watched the trainer get back on his bike and ride away with the Eevee securely in his Poké Ball again. Now the Slugma thought about the Grimer who had bothered it earlier...
When the trainer arrived at Fuchsia City, it was already nighttime. He saw the old, dilapidated gym, formerly run by Koga and later his daughter Janine, but now it served as an entryway for the headquarters of Team Rocket. Sure, they had just started with the underground between Lavender Town and Celadon City, and even had some area below the Game Corner before, but now, their underground dominion stretched across 30 square miles. The boy looked in the window, but quickly ducked back down. He was thankful that the guard outside the city was practically drunk off his ass, and that the thirty or forty Team Rocket grunts inside the gym blocked out any view that Jessie or James had of him. He looked just like his younger brother, who had an encounter with the two leaders before, and now that he had gotten the three Psychos from him so he could train his Feraligatr's only surviving offspring and leave the more powerful trainer of the two to use his own Pokémon against Team Rocket.
"To protect the world from devastation! To unite all people within our nation!" Apparently, they hadn't gotten around to inventing a new motto yet. The trainer sent out his Typhlosion, Cyndi Quil, and his Shining Charizard, Outrageous, to provide a distraction after they had finished their dumb, yet seemingly necessary motto. "Team Rocket!" he heard, and then he looked in the window again. There was a Team Rocket member dressed as Ash in there, holding Ash's prized starter Pokémon, Pikachu. There seemed to be nothing wrong with the show, and it was kind of funny that Ash was being overexaggerated by Team Rocket, the one thing that was exaggerated the most in all sorts of cartoons. They went through the standard thing that the boy had heard stories about since Ash beat Team Rocket three years before, and when Pikachu was to do his Thundershock like Ash always told him to, he put his full force into it, burning Jessie and James with the electricity. He and his Pokémon watched the next events in horror. Jessie ran up to the small, mouse-like Pokémon and began to beat it mercilessly. The boy burst in the door and scattered the Rocket grunts who had congregated there, laughing intensely at the small Pokémon's pain.
"Stop it, Team Rocket!" the trainer yelled as Cyndi Quil smashed the door down. The Rocket grunts shouted and ran when they saw the trainer and his two powerful Fire-type Pokémon standing in the doorway. "So, the second twerp is back." Jessie said, walking up to the boy, "What's the matter, Water-type Pokémon don't fit your tastes anymore?"
"Shut your pie hole, Jessie!" he yelled, "And put that Pikachu down!"
"So, the little boy wants a Pokémon battle? You wanna try a battle with me?" Jessie said, punching the trainer in the stomach, at which he doubled over in pain. "Heh heh heh. Just what I thought, nothing but a baby."
"Cyndi Quil, Outrageous," the trainer coughed as he regained the air in his lungs, "Destroy this building and stop them before they get away!" The boy tried to run after the evil Rocket bosses who held the Pikachu, but he passed out.
The burning embers of the gym smoldered in the predawn darkness when the trainer woke up. He smelled smoke and brimstone, but he figured he could only be laying next to one of two things: C.Q. and Outrageous. When he rose from the grass that was only a few feet from what remained of the Fuchsia City Gym, he realized something. "Team Rocket! Aw, crap, I let them get away! Wait!" He looked at the stairwell whose railing rose up from the ashes, "They're probably right down there!"
The trainer donned the Ash impersonator's cap, which actually was Ash's own cap and went down the stairs in back of the gym to get Jessie and James.
"Outrageous, Cyndi Quil! Come on out!" the boy yelled, just so they could illuminate the darkness around him. Unfortunately, he yelled so loud that he didn't hear the footsteps coming behind him. For the second time in what seemed like five minutes, everything around him went black again.
When he woke up again, he was tied to a wall, five Poké Balls in front of him. He looked around the room, wondering where he could be. Then, it came to him, he was in the underground of the base!
"So, boy, you're finally awake." a female voice called out.
"Come out here! Show yourself!" he yelled.
"Well, only five Pokémon, seems like you're a little weak for a master trainer." another voice, this time a more masculine one, said.
"Let that Pikachu go." a voice, this time even more mysterious said in the darkness.
"Who are you? Who let you in here?" the female voice yelled.
"I am the master of all of you. All of you, except my own master, my friend, this trainer." it said again.
A sixth Poké Ball floated out of the trainer's back pocket, and to his surprise, opened on the floor. His Eevee appeared out of the bright light, and was ready to battle within a second.
"Eevee! You can't! You're just a normal type! Normal types don't weaken their Poison types!" the boy yelled while Jessie and James sent out Arbok and Weezing.
"Ah, but that is not the plan." the mysterious voice said again, but this time only in the trainer's head. "You see, your Eevee is very happy with how you treat it. And according to the time, you'll know what to do."
The trainer's PokéGear beeped to indicate that it was now six A.M., meaning that it was finally morning. He got it, just what the voice, his Mewtwo, was telling him. "Eevee! Use Shadow Ball on their Pokémon!"
It all happened so fast, the trainer almost couldn't see. Eevee's Shadow ball hit Arbok and Weezing both square in the center of their bodies. They both fainted and gave Eevee just enough experience to get to level 53. Eevee glowed white and began the transformation just as Psycho had predicted: he evolved into Espeon and learned Morning Sun!
"Espeon, use Shadow Ball!" the trainer yelled, and the former lackeys of Team Rocket blasted off, flying out of the laboratory just as they had done when they faced Ash so many times.
When the dust cleared, all of the Pokémon who were sitting in their Poké Balls on the table came out and helped the trainer out of the ropes which bound him to the wall, both physically and mentally.
"You know what, Espeon, I'll give you this TM 29." the boy told him, "Now I'll call you ESP Psycho, and you can help out the other three Psychos in their quest for greatness!"
