Chapter 7: Prepare for War
It been a day since the group left for team rocket headquarters, the fear of them not returning was settle on everyone's mind, except for two. Kero sat outside of the den with Devil by his side, watching the sky and ground for any signs of the Wolf demon leader or the anyone from the group of trainers. Devil sighed and lowers his head to the ground, He missed Silver and wanted her to come back. Kero gently patted Devil on the head and nodded at him. "I know how you feel, Devil, I had the same feeling when my father died." Kero whispered. Devil's one ear started to twitch and look to where it came from, Kero heard it too.
It sounded like a howl with a bit of a screech in it. The howl came again, and both Devil and Kero smiled. Kero then out a howl that had more of a roar in it and sounded more fearing than the first howl. The pack of wolf demons and a group of pokemon ran out side of the den to see what was going. A Shadow was moving closer to the den and was followed by three Charizards and a giant bird, then two fireballs were racing up the mountainside towards the den as well. The shadow landed then the dragon and the bird followed and the two fireballs stop in front of the pack and the pokemon. Three people jumped off of the Charizards, two people jumped off the bird and two others jumped off the flamed horses. Devil jumped on one of the Charizard riders and started to lick them. "Okay, Devil, It's good to see you, too." the rider laughed.
Then devil jumped off of the rider and walked up to the pokemon. The blue flames from Twilight's mane, reveal their master, Silver. The pokemon were so happy to see their master that they gather around her. The group started to laugh as Silver's pokemon shown her how happy their were to see her safe. All but one of the shadows revealed themselves to be Kryo, Jill, Ethan, Kayla, Tai, and Mystic. The last shadow watch as the pack of wolf demons and groups of pokemon celebrated Silver's and the group's return. Kryo wave the shadow to come over but he wouldn't, he could think of what might happen if these creatures thought he was part of the group who capture and torture this girl. Silver walked over to the Shadow and put her hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, Ben, Kryo and Mystic will stop these guys if they try to attack you." Silver said, then she pointed Jill, Ethan, Kayla, and Tai, who were now wearing their regular clothes , "Beside Those four are going to burn those god awful uniforms later."
"Okay, But, I'll need some new clothes sometime cause this uniform is all I have." Ben said. Ben walked into light and shown his face to the park and the pokemon. BackFire, who finally made up the mountain, saw they were introducing Ben to the group, which the pokemon and the pack were happy that they got a Rocket on their side.
"I hate to tell you all, but I must leave." Ethan said, "But I'll be back." Then jump on the yellow bird. The Bird made a loud screech and a charge to electricity filled the sky as the bird flew off into the night sky. "You'll have to tell me where he got the Zapdos from sometime." Kayla said to Jill.
"He'll have to tell you, cause I don't know." Jill said. Then a flash of blue light pass by them and Silver, Twilight, and Backfire were gone. "Now where did She go off to?"

He looks over his chosen fighters, and sighed in despair. "This is the best team rocket has to offer, oh great." He muttered under his breath. He looks over his troop again and sighed once more. "Okay, You are all the best that Team rocket has the offer, For the next week, You will all fight with your hands and your heads, NOT with your pokemon." He yelled. Some of the Rockets were uneasy, but other just smiled.
One of the rocket stepped forward and Saluted to the X8, "Sir, what if Firebolt interferes, almost all of them has flying pokemon." the Rocket said, but X8 gave him a cruel look and the Rocket fell back. "Hmm, Maybe your right, that may prove to be a problem." The X8 said as looked at the fifty Rockets. "Now, Which one of you is Josh?"
A Young Rocket stepped forward and saluted to X8, "I am, Sir." Josh said proudly. The X8 gave a cold smile then looked at the group of Rockets again. "Now, all of you who have strong flying pokemon that you can ride on, Step forward." Half of the Rockets stepped forward and looked at The X8. "Good, All of you will follow Josh here for flight training," Then the X8 turned to Josh, "Teach them to flying with. Umm. oh what are those words. oh yeah. brute strength and no mercy" Josh Saluted and walked away with twenty-five Rockets, then the X8 Turned to the rest of his troops. "For the rest of you, You'll all be working in the training room." The X8 said as he started towards the training room with the other half of his Troops.

Backfire was the first who made it back to the den with seven more pokemon following him. Backfire walked to where the trainers made camp close to the den. Jill, Kayla, Tai, and Ben were talking about something that he didn't pay any attention to. Devil walked up to a Charmander that came up with Backfire and started to play with it. Ben looked over at the two pokemon as they played. "Reminds me of when Meteor was a Charmander." Ben thought, then smiled lightly. Then He remember something, He pulled a pokeball out of his pocket and walked away of the group and walked a little bit into the woods. he held out the pokeball as a light emerges from the pokeball. The light shaped into a houndoom who look shook her head, then looked up at Ben. "Are we out?" She asked him, and Ben nodded his head. She sniffs the air and her eyes widen to something she smells. "My brother's near by." She barked happily then followed the scent towards the camp.
"Are you sure, He could be somewhere else, Trinity." Ben said to the houndoom as ran to catch up with her. The Houndoom looked at Ben and nodded her head. "I'm sure, Ben, I know my brother's scent, I smelled his scent on you when you save me." Trinity said and walked closer towards the camp.
Backfire was watching the young pokemon playing when a scent catches his nose. He looked in the direction the scent was coming from. Ben and a scarred Houndoom came out of the woods, and the two houndooms look at each other for a minute. "Trinity, Is that you?" Backfire said to the scarred Houndoom, and she nods her head. "It's good to see you again, Duke." Trinity said calmly.
Backfire sighed lightly and shook his head, "My name now is Backfire, Trinity." He said. Ben looked at the to houndooms as they catch up with each other. Jill looked at Ben and shook her head, "This that your houndoom?" Ben sat and looked at the group and sighed. "No, She isn't, she was a prisoner like myself who only wanted to follow her brother's paw prints." Ben said, and sighed once more. Kayla shook her head, and threw a rocket uniform into the fire. "Did you have a brother, Ben?" Jill asked him.
"Yes, He was a trainer of the fighters, all of my family were masters of fighting pokemon." Ben said then he looked up at the stars, "Team Rocket came into my hometown and destroyed everything and everyone who got in they way. My family and I tried to defend the town, but they killed them and capture their pokemon that was when one of their pokemon struck me down. When I woke up I found myself in a cell, and alone, they wanted me to join them and help train their pokemon to become powerful pokemon, but I refused. I wanted to die to join my family, but team rocket has always taken me to near death but never took me to my wish."
Tai just shook his head, "You want to kill yourself? That isn't wisest choice sometimes." Tai said as he threw a uniform into the fire. Ben sighed and looked at the pokemon that were playing behind the group. "I realize that a mouth ago." A zapdos flew over head and landed close to the camp, Ethan came out to the woods with a frown, "Professor Firebane, I have some bad news, Team Rocket is coming back in full force."
Jill threw her uniform into the fire and walked over to Ethan, "What do you mean?" Jill said harshly. Kayla and Tai stood up and walked over to hear what Ethan had to say, follow by Ben. "I mean Team Rocket is coming in a week with fifty of them, and their lead by that Rocket who beat up Silver."
A group of pokemon flew over head in landed in the field far from the forest The group ran to see the was going on. Kayla was the first to get there "What the hell?" Kayla said when she over a hundred people with their pokemon setting up tents. Jill, Tai and Ben couldn't believe their eyes either. "I hope you don't mind, Professor Firebane, but when everyone in Firebolt heard that Kayla, Tai, and you were trying to help a rocket type x gain her freedom from team rocket and heard fifty Rocket were coming kill her, over a hundred member decide to help."
One of the member of Firebolt saw Jill and started to cheer followed by fifty others. Jill smiled at Ethan and nodded, "Ethan, you've done a good deed for us, but did you see Silver?" Jill said, and Ethan shook his head. "No, but I did see a Blue flame coming towards the camp."
* * *
Silver rode at full speed towards the den, Kero flew behind them with a bag in his hand. She made it back to the camp to find it empty with the fire still lit. "Now where did they get to?" Silver said. Twilight nudges her head on Silver's shoulder and Kero sniffs around. "Everyone went is way." Kero said as he started towards a field far from the camp.
Silver follow Kero with twilight behind her. When they made it to the field, both were shock to see over a hundred of people setting up camp in this field. "What's going on?" Kero said to Silver, but she didn't know. "It's a war party." Jill said of behind them. Jill walked up beside Silver and explains to them what Ethan heard from the spies in team rocket. "So X8 plans to sent an army to kill me." Silver said, and Jill nodded. Kero dropped Silver's bag and flew off towards the den. "I have a week to prepare for war then, I got a lot of training then, by the way, are the others?" Silver said.
"Down in camp, Ben, Tai, and Kayla have agreed to stay and help out." Jill said, "And your pokemon are with Scott who if I remember right was the boy nine years ago you stole money from when I first met you." Silver was a bit fearful of what he might do to her, but Jill just laughed when she saw Silver got afraid. "Trust me, he's not mad at you anymore, Silver." Jill chuckled, "Beside there's going to be a member induction tonight in camp for Kayla, Tai, Ben, and you."
Silver just frown at that, and Jill's smile quickly disappear, "What's wrong?" Silver didn't say a thing for a minute, then she sighed. "Thanks for offer, but I can't accept the membership until X8 and me finish our fight." Silver said harshly.
"Wait a minute, remember that last time you fought him, you've got creamed." Jill said with anger, but Silver just shook her head as she saw the moon rise in the sky. "He hasn't fought me under the full moon before either, as The Moonlight Thief. When X8 and I fight in a week he'll be fight me when I'm at full strength."

Kryo stood outside of his with thoughts in his head of his home. "Father, Shadow, I what am I going to do with out you when this war starts up." Footsteps from behind him broke his silent thoughts, "Kryo, what's wrong." A Dark wolf demon with amber wings asked him. Kryo didn't answer her right away, but he knew he had to her. "I feel him again, Cara, Carbos is near."
Cara stood beside him and started to look at the star with him, "Kryo, you killed him back in Teros after he killed my sister, Lia." A tear ran down his face, "Her rage against him was strong that day, If Shadow didn't get shoot down by one of those."
"It still would of happen, Kryo, Shadow said he rather die where his village fell than in a battlefield far from the village." Cara said calmly. Kryo's arm went over her shoulder and her arm when on his back. "So what are we going to do, are we going to fight with the humans or not?"
Kryo was still watching the stars and listening to their song, he heard Shadow's and Lia's voice singing with the stars. "I don't know yet, Cara, but if Carbos is here, he'll be at the battle in a week."
