Chapter 6: Rocket Rebellion
Viridian City, home of the Viridian Forest, a ground pokemon gym, and Team Rocket's Headquarters. The Four trainer reached the city around nightfall. There was no one on Viridian's streets that night for a strange reason. "I don't like this, Professor Firebane, where is everyone?" Ethan asked quietly. Jill looked around for any sign of Team Rocket. "This place is like a ghost town at night, everyone is hiding in fear." Jill whispers to Ethan. Two Rocket were coming at them as they all duck to hide from the Rocket expect for Mystic and Kryo. "What are you two doing?" Kayla asked harshly, "Get down before they see you." It was too late, but luckily the Rockets didn't see them when they walked by.
"What the.?" Ethan whisper. All of them stared at the two wolves, "What, so you guys are the only ones who see us through Mystic's spell." Kryo said. Jill shook her head as Kryo and Ethen started arguing and started to sneak over towards the door. Two young men wearing team rocket Uniforms were waiting for them behind some bushes. Kayla was about ready to draw her gun but Ethan shook his head. "Those two are spies from Firebolt." Ethan whispered. Then two rockets waved them over and they followed Jill's lend. "Professor Firebane, we thought you got captured." one of them said.
"No, I didn't, but do you guys have those Uniforms for all four of us?" The one rocket nodded. Kayla looked at Jill with a puzzle look on her face, then she saw team rocket uniforms being passed to her. "WHAT! I'm not wearing that!" Kayla yelled.
* * *
"I can't believe I'm wearing this." Kayla said as the group walked into the Headquarter, all of them were wearing a black Team Rocket jumpsuit. "Hey, just be glad you're not wearing a girl's uniform." Tai said. Backfire lead the group to the elevator but two more Rockets went in with them as well. "Can you press the third for us?" One of them said. Tai nodded his head and press the button. The other Rocket at Jill, "You look familiar somehow?" Jill quickly shook her head, "Nope, I'm just new member." She said, and the Rocket nodded his head, "Okay." The two rockets started to talk to each about a fight somewhere but no one pay attention. One of the rockets looked at Kayla who wasn't happy at all. "Hey, so you new members know there's going to a fight tonight on the Third floor." He told Kayla, Ethan looked at Kayla, "Please, keep your cool, and don't punch him" He whispered. Kayla shook her head, "Sure, Whatever." She muttered under her breath. When the Doors opened the Two rockets left the elevator and the doors closed again. "For a second there you were going to punch him." Ethan said, but Kayla didn't answer him. "Can we get going and save your friend and get out of here?" Tai said harshly.
Before the doors closed Kryo garb the one door to prevent them from closing. "Go to the fight, I think you'll find Silver there." Kryo said as Mystic nodded his head. Jill nodded and the trainer went off towards the so-called rocket arena. There was a line up of Rockets to enter the arena and more rockets were coming. Backfire followed Kayla to the front door of the arena. "Excuse, but we don't allowed Pokemon in the arena, that houndoom will have to go in it's pokeball." A guard said to Kayla. Kayla looked at Backfire then looked at the Guard. "Well you see, I leave his pokeball at my room and he doesn't go in his pokeball." Kayla said quickly. The guard looked at Kayla and was pulling something from his pocket. An arm grabbed the guard's arm and forces the guard to drop his gun that he was trying to pull from his pocket. "I wouldn't do that, my friend, if you know what's good for you." A young boy said to the guard. The boy looked to nine years old, and he was wearing the rocket uniform. "Why you little punk, I'll make sure you died a slow death for interrupting my work." The guard yelled, but the boy showed no fear, and handed the guard his gun. "Then why didn't you kill me now, end my life so I leave this god forbidden place. Then another rocket came over to stop the fight. "What's going on here?"
The guard explained his story to the rocket, then the rocket looked at Kayla. "I'll let you that houndoom in there this once but the next time you better have a pokeball for it." The rocket said harshly then the guard and the rocket grabbed the boy's arms and started to drag him to the elevator. "Poor kid." Kayla said as walks into the arena to find the others.
* * *
Kryo and Mystic found their way to the prison cells a half hour later, the sounds of pain and torment filled the cells. Kryo looked into one empty cell and saw blood all over the back wall and a bullet hole in the middle of the blood stain. Somehow Kryo could hear the person who was once in that screaming and the fatal shot that cost the person his or her life. Mystic looked into one cell, and saw a little girl that was no more then five years old sitting middle of her cell, crying for her family. Another cell had a young boy that has a pair of charizard wings and a few scars over his back and face.
"I never thought humans could do this to each other." Kryo said, Then Mystic looked at Kryo. "Kryo, Humans are like our kind, They judge difference to others as we do, and they'll kill or torture their own kind like we do." Mystic said.
"Some of the humans are will risk their lives to protect another human or their pokemon." a voice said from another cell. Kryo ran to where a voice came from. When he got there, he saw a rocket was locked in a cell where the voice came from. Kryo growled lightly, "Where's Silver?" He said harshly to the rocket. The rocket looked at Kryo with a puzzled looked, then Kryo grabbed the Rocket by his neck but prevent his hand from killing the rocket. "I'll ask you again, Where's Silver?" Kryo growled.
"Go ahead and kill me, I ratter be died then be a puppet for team Rocket." the Rocket said. Then a Staff hit Kryo's arm and force Kryo to drop the boy. "Why did you do that for?" Kryo growled at Mystic. Mystic looked at the boy and nodded his head. Mystic look at the lock and started to chant something over the lock and the door came open. Mystic walked inside and Kryo followed. "Hello, my child, I am Mystic, a wolven wizard, and this Wolf Demon is Kryo. Tell me, how long had you been a prisoner here, child." Mystic said to the boy.
"For two months now, They want someone to train their fighting pokemon and they killed my family and kidnap Me." the boy said, and Kryo calm down a bit after hearing that. "That sounds like what happen to someone else," Mystic said as he looked Kryo. "What's your name kid." Kryo asked the boy.
"Ben."
"Hmm, Tell you what, Ben, If you help us out, We'll help you." Mystic said. Ben nodded, "If you help me out of here and help me get my friends back, I'll help you." Mystic extended his hand, "A fair deal." Ben extended his and shook his hand with Mystic. Kryo looked at Ben, Can I trust him, Kryo thought, He's a Rocket. Mystic looked at Kryo and nodded his head, then shook Ben's hand.
* * *
Two battles raged, one a pokemon battle with skilled two Rockets leading the battle, then a fight between two rockets. "Hmm, the spies said that there were fights to the death, so far there weren't any." Jill said to Ethan. Soon a Rocket came out to the middle of the arena. "My fellow members of Team Rocket, Yesterday evening, Four team Rocket went out to recapture the first living 'X'." He begin, "For our final fight will be a fight the first man falls, Coming from the South Gate, The X7!" The Four trainers grasped and looked at the open gate. Silver walked out with shackles around her wrists and being followed by Rick. Rick went up towards Silver and removed the shackles and walked back to the gate. The rocket nodded, "From the north gate, The second living 'X', The X8!" Cheers roared from the crowd as the north opened and a young boy wearing a white rocket uniform appeared from the gate but he wasn't lead out by a Rocket. "So you're my older sister." The boy said calmly, but Silver didn't answer. The boy chuckle lightly, "I wonder which of us is stronger, You or me?"
Silver looked up at her so called brother, then smiled "You'll find out soon, my brother." Silver said harshly. The Rocket went of to the side. "Let the fight begin!" the Rocket yelled, and the two start to run at each other. "I bet you a hundred dollars that she'll get killed." one rocket in front of Kayla said to another Rocket. "Nay, I bet two hundred dollars that she'll get knocked out." the other Rocket said. "I can't believe their betting on a human's life." Kayla said to Tai. "They'll do that, Team Rocket doesn't have a heart after all." Tai said to Kayla.
Silver started to throw punches after her counter part and he would block her punches. The boy pulled out a dagger and started to attack her with the dagger, but Silver blocked the attacks. "My sister, this is started to dull Me." the boy said. Then his dagger made contact to her left side. Silver held back her cries, but the roar of the crowd grew louder. "Then I'll make it less dull for you." Siler growled as he attacked with his dagger again. Silver dodged his attack but grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground on his back forcing him to drop his dagger. Silver quickly grabbed the dagger as the boy got back up. "Very good, my sister, but your time is up." The boy said and Silver started to attack him with the dagger. When her arm got there her brother blocked the attack and felt a dagger stab into her stomach. Silver stepped back from the boy and fell to her back. The Four Trainer and the crowd stood up in shock. The rocket who was at the side ran up to Silver and two more came out of the stands and started to take Silver some place.
The crowd started to file out of the arena, Jill started to look for the others when the crowds were gone. "Ethan, Kayla, Tai, where are you guys?" Jill whispered. Kayla came out from behind one door and was followed by Backfire. Ethan appeared behind Jill, and Tai came from the other door across from Kayla. "Ok, I wonder where they took Silver?" Kayla said. Backfire started towards a clock and looked at it. "It took a hour for the crowds to leave here they should have her back to her cell." Backfire said. Jill frowned at a thought, "If she's still alive." Jill said lightly, but Backfire shook his head. "They would just take the dagger out, repair what they can, and give her more ghost DNA." Backfire said, "They've done it before when she was that badly injury when she was young." Tai looked at Backfire, "But if you know that about her you would have been." Tai began to say, and Backfire nodded his head. "Yes, I was a guard pokemon for Team Rocket, both my sister, Trinity, and me. I wouldn't obey orders and I kept on leaving my duties to see a young girl whom they called "X7," then they catch me when Trinity and I were trying to escape, and took me to the lab, and did what they called 'mind and body improvements'. Instead I evolved into a houndoom and I was twice as strong and twice as big as a normal houndoom and that's when I escape from Team Rocket leaving behind me Rockets that I've killed when I escaped and my sister." Backfire said with sadness behind his voice. Kayla patted Backfire on the head, and backfire nodded his head. "We'll have to go down two more floors to the cells, just for a full warning, what you'll see will make your stomachs turn." Backfire said as he lead the group to the elevator, and the started down.
* * *
Ben looked out for any guards, but there weren't any. "Ok, guys, coast is clear." Ben started as he started to the doors. Kryo and Mystic followed behind him as Ben open the door. Ben grabbed six pokeballs and started to look around in the cages. "What are we looking for?" Kryo asked. Ben looked at a tall which held a hitmonchan, "Rouge, are you ok?" The Hitmonchan nodded his head. "Ok, lets get you out of here, Return." Ben said as he pointed the pokeball at the Hitmonchan and recalled him. "Mystic, catch." Ben said as he threw the pokeball at him and Mystic catch it. "Ben?" a new voice whisper. He looked in to a long cage that held a scared houndoom in it. "Yes, Trinity, I help you like you help me." Ben said as he petted the houndoom. "Kryo throw me another pokeball." Ben yelled and Kryo grabbed one and threw it towards him. "Return, Trinity." Ben said as he recalled the houndoom. When the houndoom was return, Ben reduced the pokeball and put the pokeball in his pocket. "Kryo, Do you know what a Charizard is?" Ben asked, Kryo shook his head. "Ok, well, try to find a large red dragon with a flame on his tail that answers to the name, 'Meteor.'" Kryo nodded his a started to cage for a pokemon under that deception.
A half hour later Ben found all five of his fighting team, but Kryo couldn't find the charizard Ben was looking for. "Ok, Did you look in the Big cages." Ben asked him, Kryo nodded his head. "Ok, Meteor are you here?" A roar answered Ben's voice, "He's in the back." Ben said as he ran back of the pokemon storage room. In the back was a lone cage that had a charizard that was bad hurt and that had a huge scar over his left eye and one over his right wing.
"Meteor, What did they do to you?" Ben asked the charizard as he put his hand on the charizard's head. The Charizard roar lightly like he was talking to Ben and Ben nodded, which got Kryo a bit confused. "Don't worry, buddy, I'll get you out of here and we'll both escape." Ben told the Charizard as he pointed the pokeball the charizard and recalled him. "You can talk to pokemon?" Kryo said lightly, but Ben nodded his head. "A Friend can understand what they trying to tell the trainer, but the trainer doesn't know their language." Ben said, "You kept your end of the deal so far, and I'll keep my end, Mystic, If your friend Silver is anywhere, they'll have her where I was at."
* * *
The cries of the prisoners and the smell of blood flow throughout the hall. The Guard was walking back to the elevator when four rockets came out of it. "What are you four doing here." The guard asked, that was when Ethan punched the guard. Jill grabbed the keys while Ethan and Tai dragged the guard into an empty cell. "Kayla, stay here and keep an eye out for any others" Jill said and Kayla nodded as she got her gun ready. Backfire started to sniff around different cell while Jill, Ethan and Tai followed behind him. Backfire stop in front of a cell when his paws step in someone's blood. "Someone was killed here not to long along." Backfire said as his kept on walking. The blood made paw prints behind Backfire as he walked forward. Backfire stopped again while he bump to the boy of before. "Watch out, Backfire." Jill yelled as she grabbed a gun that was close by. Backfire looked up at the boy as Kryo and Mystic appeared behind him. "It's ok, Jill, Ben is a good guy." Kryo said gently then Jill lowers the gun and dropped it, then a gunfire echo throughout the hall, and the group looked at Jill. "What?" Jill asked.
"Where were you two?" Backfire asked, but Mystic shook his head. "Now is not the time to answer that, Silver's down here." Mystic said as He turned around and started to run. The other's followed Mystic to a cell with Silver lying unconscious on the cell's floor. Backfire pulled himself through the bars and went by Silver's side. "Master, wake up." Backfire whispered as he nudged her head. Jill finally found the keys to the cell and opened it up. Backfire was still trying to wake Silver up as Mystic kneel next to Silver. Mystic placed his hand on Silver head and closed his eyes. Soon Silver's eye slowly opened, her vision was a blur at first but she soon saw Backfire and her friends. Silver started to sit up and look around. "Silver, are you ok?" Kryo asked. Silver nodded her head. "She'll be okay, Kryo." Mystic said then Silver looked at the Dark Wolf. "Who are you?" She asked Mystic.
"I'm Mystic, But it think we should that our leave." Mystic said as he hurry footstep coming closer towards the cells. Kryo started to growl and was ready to fight. When Kayla appeared in front of the cell, Kryo started to calm down. "Kayla, What's wrong, and what happen to the guard?" Ethan asked.
"The guard tried grabbed me, but I shot him." Kayla said, then the group looked at her. "Well that answers the gunfire." Ben said, "But we'll have to get out of here." Ben looked outside of the cell and nodded his head. The group started to run towards the elevator. The elevator open before they got there and they quickly hid in an open cell. "Okay, Find the intruders before they escape with the X7." Rick yelled at the nine Rockets as they all marched out of the Elevator. When the group of Rocket walked passed the cell the group ran out of the cell jump into the Elevator. Rick turned his head and saw the group of trainers. "You idiots, There they go." Rick yelled as he fired his gun at the elevator, the bullet Made contact in Silver's arm. Silver grabbed her arm and tried to hold her cries. The Elevator stopped at the First floor and the group started run for the Viridian Forest. Team Rocket start to fire at the group but they disappear when they started to search the forest for them.
* * *
Rick stood in the Boss's office while someone else hiding in the shadows was talking to him. "So, you let a group of five trainers escape with the X7." the Boss said. Rick tried to talk but his words form into mutters. "You know that I can't stand failures, Rick." The Persian by the boss's side started to growl and hiss at Rick, and his fears started to take him over. "I've given you one last chance and you fail that chance." He said with anger, "You've failed me for the last time." Then Rick fell to his knees, "Please give me another chance, I promise to bring her back and I'll watch her cell." Then the boss looked at the person in the shadows. "I think not." The boss said and the person in the shadows pulled out a gun and shot Rick in the head. Rick fell dead on the floor, and the boss rang for the clean up crew. "You know what to do?" The boss asked the person in the shadows. "Don't worry, Sir, I'll take fifty Rockets and kill my sister and her little friends." the person in the shadow as he walked out of the office. "Let hope you don't fail, X8." The boss whispered as he started on some paperwork.

There was no one on Viridian's streets that night for a strange reason. "I don't like this, Professor Firebane, where is everyone?" Ethan asked quietly. Jill looked around for any sign of Team Rocket. "This place is like a ghost town at night, everyone is hiding in fear." Jill whispers to Ethan. Two Rocket were coming at them as they all duck to hide from the Rocket expect for Mystic and Kryo. "What are you two doing?" Kayla asked harshly, "Get down before they see you." It was too late, but luckily the Rockets didn't see them when they walked by.
"What the.?" Ethan whisper. All of them stared at the two wolves, "What, so you guys are the only ones who see us through Mystic's spell." Kryo said. Jill shook her head as Kryo and Ethen started arguing and started to sneak over towards the door. Two young men wearing team rocket Uniforms were waiting for them behind some bushes. Kayla was about ready to draw her gun but Ethan shook his head. "Those two are spies from Firebolt." Ethan whispered. Then two rockets waved them over and they followed Jill's lend. "Professor Firebane, we thought you got captured." one of them said.
"No, I didn't, but do you guys have those Uniforms for all four of us?" The one rocket nodded. Kayla looked at Jill with a puzzle look on her face, then she saw team rocket uniforms being passed to her. "WHAT! I'm not wearing that!" Kayla yelled.
* * *
"I can't believe I'm wearing this." Kayla said as the group walked into the Headquarter, all of them were wearing a black Team Rocket jumpsuit. "Hey, just be glad you're not wearing a girl's uniform." Tai said. Backfire lead the group to the elevator but two more Rockets went in with them as well. "Can you press the third for us?" One of them said. Tai nodded his head and press the button. The other Rocket at Jill, "You look familiar somehow?" Jill quickly shook her head, "Nope, I'm just new member." She said, and the Rocket nodded his head, "Okay." The two rockets started to talk to each about a fight somewhere but no one pay attention. One of the rockets looked at Kayla who wasn't happy at all. "Hey, so you new members know there's going to a fight tonight on the Third floor." He told Kayla, Ethan looked at Kayla, "Please, keep your cool, and don't punch him" He whispered. Kayla shook her head, "Sure, Whatever." She muttered under her breath. When the Doors opened the Two rockets left the elevator and the doors closed again. "For a second there you were going to punch him." Ethan said, but Kayla didn't answer him. "Can we get going and save your friend and get out of here?" Tai said harshly.
Before the doors closed Kryo garb the one door to prevent them from closing. "Go to the fight, I think you'll find Silver there." Kryo said as Mystic nodded his head. Jill nodded and the trainer went off towards the so-called rocket arena. There was a line up of Rockets to enter the arena and more rockets were coming. Backfire followed Kayla to the front door of the arena. "Excuse, but we don't allowed Pokemon in the arena, that houndoom will have to go in it's pokeball." A guard said to Kayla. Kayla looked at Backfire then looked at the Guard. "Well you see, I leave his pokeball at my room and he doesn't go in his pokeball." Kayla said quickly. The guard looked at Kayla and was pulling something from his pocket. An arm grabbed the guard's arm and forces the guard to drop his gun that he was trying to pull from his pocket. "I wouldn't do that, my friend, if you know what's good for you." A young boy said to the guard. The boy looked to nine years old, and he was wearing the rocket uniform. "Why you little punk, I'll make sure you died a slow death for interrupting my work." The guard yelled, but the boy showed no fear, and handed the guard his gun. "Then why didn't you kill me now, end my life so I leave this god forbidden place. Then another rocket came over to stop the fight. "What's going on here?"
The guard explained his story to the rocket, then the rocket looked at Kayla. "I'll let you that houndoom in there this once but the next time you better have a pokeball for it." The rocket said harshly then the guard and the rocket grabbed the boy's arms and started to drag him to the elevator. "Poor kid." Kayla said as walks into the arena to find the others.

Kryo and Mystic found their way to the prison cells a half hour later, the sounds of pain and torment filled the cells. Kryo looked into one empty cell and saw blood all over the back wall and a bullet hole in the middle of the blood stain. Somehow Kryo could hear the person who was once in that screaming and the fatal shot that cost the person his or her life. Mystic looked into one cell, and saw a little girl that was no more then five years old sitting middle of her cell, crying for her family. Another cell had a young boy that has a pair of charizard wings and a few scars over his back and face.
"I never thought humans could do this to each other." Kryo said, Then Mystic looked at Kryo. "Kryo, Humans are like our kind, They judge difference to others as we do, and they'll kill or torture their own kind like we do." Mystic said.
"Some of the humans are will risk their lives to protect another human or their pokemon." a voice said from another cell. Kryo ran to where a voice came from. When he got there, he saw a rocket was locked in a cell where the voice came from. Kryo growled lightly, "Where's Silver?" He said harshly to the rocket. The rocket looked at Kryo with a puzzled looked, then Kryo grabbed the Rocket by his neck but prevent his hand from killing the rocket. "I'll ask you again, Where's Silver?" Kryo growled.
"Go ahead and kill me, I ratter be died then be a puppet for team Rocket." the Rocket said. Then a Staff hit Kryo's arm and force Kryo to drop the boy. "Why did you do that for?" Kryo growled at Mystic. Mystic looked at the boy and nodded his head. Mystic look at the lock and started to chant something over the lock and the door came open. Mystic walked inside and Kryo followed. "Hello, my child, I am Mystic, a wolven wizard, and this Wolf Demon is Kryo. Tell me, how long had you been a prisoner here, child." Mystic said to the boy.
"For two months now, They want someone to train their fighting pokemon and they killed my family and kidnap Me." the boy said, and Kryo calm down a bit after hearing that. "That sounds like what happen to someone else," Mystic said as he looked Kryo. "What's your name kid." Kryo asked the boy.
"Ben."
"Hmm, Tell you what, Ben, If you help us out, We'll help you." Mystic said. Ben nodded, "If you help me out of here and help me get my friends back, I'll help you." Mystic extended his hand, "A fair deal." Ben extended his and shook his hand with Mystic. Kryo looked at Ben, Can I trust him, Kryo thought, He's a Rocket. Mystic looked at Kryo and nodded his head, then shook Ben's hand.
* * *
Two battles raged, one a pokemon battle with skilled two Rockets leading the battle, then a fight between two rockets. "Hmm, the spies said that there were fights to the death, so far there weren't any." Jill said to Ethan. Soon a Rocket came out to the middle of the arena. "My fellow members of Team Rocket, Yesterday evening, Four team Rocket went out to recapture the first living 'X'." He begin, "For our final fight will be a fight the first man falls, Coming from the South Gate, The X7!" The Four trainers grasped and looked at the open gate. Silver walked out with shackles around her wrists and being followed by Rick. Rick went up towards Silver and removed the shackles and walked back to the gate. The rocket nodded, "From the north gate, The second living 'X', The X8!" Cheers roared from the crowd as the north opened and a young boy wearing a white rocket uniform appeared from the gate but he wasn't lead out by a Rocket. "So you're my older sister." The boy said calmly, but Silver didn't answer. The boy chuckle lightly, "I wonder which of us is stronger, You or me?"
Silver looked up at her so called brother, then smiled "You'll find out soon, my brother." Silver said harshly. The Rocket went of to the side. "Let the fight begin!" the Rocket yelled, and the two start to run at each other. "I bet you a hundred dollars that she'll get killed." one rocket in front of Kayla said to another Rocket. "Nay, I bet two hundred dollars that she'll get knocked out." the other Rocket said. "I can't believe their betting on a human's life." Kayla said to Tai. "They'll do that, Team Rocket doesn't have a heart after all." Tai said to Kayla.
Silver started to throw punches after her counter part and he would block her punches. The boy pulled out a dagger and started to attack her with the dagger, but Silver blocked the attacks. "My sister, this is started to dull Me." the boy said. Then his dagger made contact to her left side. Silver held back her cries, but the roar of the crowd grew louder. "Then I'll make it less dull for you." Siler growled as he attacked with his dagger again. Silver dodged his attack but grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground on his back forcing him to drop his dagger. Silver quickly grabbed the dagger as the boy got back up. "Very good, my sister, but your time is up." The boy said and Silver started to attack him with the dagger. When her arm got there her brother blocked the attack and felt a dagger stab into her stomach. Silver stepped back from the boy and fell to her back. The Four Trainer and the crowd stood up in shock. The rocket who was at the side ran up to Silver and two more came out of the stands and started to take Silver some place.
The crowd started to file out of the arena, Jill started to look for the others when the crowds were gone. "Ethan, Kayla, Tai, where are you guys?" Jill whispered. Kayla came out from behind one door and was followed by Backfire. Ethan appeared behind Jill, and Tai came from the other door across from Kayla. "Ok, I wonder where they took Silver?" Kayla said. Backfire started towards a clock and looked at it. "It took a hour for the crowds to leave here they should have her back to her cell." Backfire said. Jill frowned at a thought, "If she's still alive." Jill said lightly, but Backfire shook his head. "They would just take the dagger out, repair what they can, and give her more ghost DNA." Backfire said, "They've done it before when she was that badly injury when she was young." Tai looked at Backfire, "But if you know that about her you would have been." Tai began to say, and Backfire nodded his head. "Yes, I was a guard pokemon for Team Rocket, both my sister, Trinity, and me. I wouldn't obey orders and I kept on leaving my duties to see a young girl whom they called "X7," then they catch me when Trinity and I were trying to escape, and took me to the lab, and did what they called 'mind and body improvements'. Instead I evolved into a houndoom and I was twice as strong and twice as big as a normal houndoom and that's when I escape from Team Rocket leaving behind me Rockets that I've killed when I escaped and my sister." Backfire said with sadness behind his voice. Kayla patted Backfire on the head, and backfire nodded his head. "We'll have to go down two more floors to the cells, just for a full warning, what you'll see will make your stomachs turn." Backfire said as he lead the group to the elevator, and the started down.
* * *
Ben looked out for any guards, but there weren't any. "Ok, guys, coast is clear." Ben started as he started to the doors. Kryo and Mystic followed behind him as Ben open the door. Ben grabbed six pokeballs and started to look around in the cages. "What are we looking for?" Kryo asked. Ben looked at a tall which held a hitmonchan, "Rouge, are you ok?" The Hitmonchan nodded his head. "Ok, lets get you out of here, Return." Ben said as he pointed the pokeball at the Hitmonchan and recalled him. "Mystic, catch." Ben said as he threw the pokeball at him and Mystic catch it. "Ben?" a new voice whisper. He looked in to a long cage that held a scared houndoom in it. "Yes, Trinity, I help you like you help me." Ben said as he petted the houndoom. "Kryo throw me another pokeball." Ben yelled and Kryo grabbed one and threw it towards him. "Return, Trinity." Ben said as he recalled the houndoom. When the houndoom was return, Ben reduced the pokeball and put the pokeball in his pocket. "Kryo, Do you know what a Charizard is?" Ben asked, Kryo shook his head. "Ok, well, try to find a large red dragon with a flame on his tail that answers to the name, 'Meteor.'" Kryo nodded his a started to cage for a pokemon under that deception.
A half hour later Ben found all five of his fighting team, but Kryo couldn't find the charizard Ben was looking for. "Ok, Did you look in the Big cages." Ben asked him, Kryo nodded his head. "Ok, Meteor are you here?" A roar answered Ben's voice, "He's in the back." Ben said as he ran back of the pokemon storage room. In the back was a lone cage that had a charizard that was bad hurt and that had a huge scar over his left eye and one over his right wing.
"Meteor, What did they do to you?" Ben asked the charizard as he put his hand on the charizard's head. The Charizard roar lightly like he was talking to Ben and Ben nodded, which got Kryo a bit confused. "Don't worry, buddy, I'll get you out of here and we'll both escape." Ben told the Charizard as he pointed the pokeball the charizard and recalled him. "You can talk to pokemon?" Kryo said lightly, but Ben nodded his head. "A Friend can understand what they trying to tell the trainer, but the trainer doesn't know their language." Ben said, "You kept your end of the deal so far, and I'll keep my end, Mystic, If your friend Silver is anywhere, they'll have her where I was at."

The cries of the prisoners and the smell of blood flow throughout the hall. The Guard was walking back to the elevator when four rockets came out of it. "What are you four doing here." The guard asked, that was when Ethan punched the guard. Jill grabbed the keys while Ethan and Tai dragged the guard into an empty cell. "Kayla, stay here and keep an eye out for any others" Jill said and Kayla nodded as she got her gun ready. Backfire started to sniff around different cell while Jill, Ethan and Tai followed behind him. Backfire stop in front of a cell when his paws step in someone's blood. "Someone was killed here not to long along." Backfire said as his kept on walking. The blood made paw prints behind Backfire as he walked forward. Backfire stopped again while he bump to the boy of before. "Watch out, Backfire." Jill yelled as she grabbed a gun that was close by. Backfire looked up at the boy as Kryo and Mystic appeared behind him. "It's ok, Jill, Ben is a good guy." Kryo said gently then Jill lowers the gun and dropped it, then a gunfire echo throughout the hall, and the group looked at Jill. "What?" Jill asked.
"Where were you two?" Backfire asked, but Mystic shook his head. "Now is not the time to answer that, Silver's down here." Mystic said as He turned around and started to run. The other's followed Mystic to a cell with Silver lying unconscious on the cell's floor. Backfire pulled himself through the bars and went by Silver's side. "Master, wake up." Backfire whispered as he nudged her head. Jill finally found the keys to the cell and opened it up. Backfire was still trying to wake Silver up as Mystic kneel next to Silver. Mystic placed his hand on Silver head and closed his eyes. Soon Silver's eye slowly opened, her vision was a blur at first but she soon saw Backfire and her friends. Silver started to sit up and look around. "Silver, are you ok?" Kryo asked. Silver nodded her head. "She'll be okay, Kryo." Mystic said then Silver looked at the Dark Wolf. "Who are you?" She asked Mystic.
"I'm Mystic, But it think we should that our leave." Mystic said as he hurry footstep coming closer towards the cells. Kryo started to growl and was ready to fight. When Kayla appeared in front of the cell, Kryo started to calm down. "Kayla, What's wrong, and what happen to the guard?" Ethan asked.
"The guard tried grabbed me, but I shot him." Kayla said, then the group looked at her. "Well that answers the gunfire." Ben said, "But we'll have to get out of here." Ben looked outside of the cell and nodded his head. The group started to run towards the elevator. The elevator open before they got there and they quickly hid in an open cell. "Okay, Find the intruders before they escape with the X7." Rick yelled at the nine Rockets as they all marched out of the Elevator. When the group of Rocket walked passed the cell the group ran out of the cell jump into the Elevator. Rick turned his head and saw the group of trainers. "You idiots, There they go." Rick yelled as he fired his gun at the elevator, the bullet Made contact in Silver's arm. Silver grabbed her arm and tried to hold her cries. The Elevator stopped at the First floor and the group started run for the Viridian Forest. Team Rocket start to fire at the group but they disappear when they started to search the forest for them.

Rick stood in the Boss's office while someone else hiding in the shadows was talking to him. "So, you let a group of five trainers escape with the X7." the Boss said. Rick tried to talk but his words form into mutters. "You know that I can't stand failures, Rick." The Persian by the boss's side started to growl and hiss at Rick, and his fears started to take him over. "I've given you one last chance and you fail that chance." He said with anger, "You've failed me for the last time." Then Rick fell to his knees, "Please give me another chance, I promise to bring her back and I'll watch her cell." Then the boss looked at the person in the shadows. "I think not." The boss said and the person in the shadows pulled out a gun and shot Rick in the head. Rick fell dead on the floor, and the boss rang for the clean up crew. "You know what to do?" The boss asked the person in the shadows. "Don't worry, Sir, I'll take fifty Rockets and kill my sister and her little friends." the person in the shadow as he walked out of the office. "Let hope you don't fail, X8." The boss whispered as he started on some paperwork.
End notes: YAY, RICK'S DEAD, but I'm celebrating early with the X8 now on Silver's trail. How will this fight end? The final fight is coming in two chapters.
