Chapter 9
"Surprised!" stated Dr. Bailey.
Morris replied, "Not really, you psychotic nut."
Bailey smiled and replied, "I know what you are thinking. I'm evil, I'm crazy. We'll I'll admit that I may appear to you to be a little crazy. But I am most certainly not! You people thinking that the whole world is nothing but black and white--good and evil. Sure there are instances throughout history where there have been cases of truly good or evil people, but most every thing is really one big shade of gray." He then pulled out what looked like a remote garage door opener. "I was going to launch the missiles at midnight, mostly for symbolic reasons--end of a day and end of humanity as we know it. But since it seems you are so impatient and I'll admit so am I--Let's get this party started!"
He pressed the button on the remote and a computer voice declared, "Launch sequence activated. Sequence cannot be aborted. Five minutes remaining."
Morris picked up Thomas' handgun and fired off two shots at Bailey. Bailey merely raised his hand and a wall of light appeared before him and the bullets disintegrated upon impact. Morris yelled, "What the hell!"
Bailey smiled and said, "You forget I'm now a full hybrid. It took me a while to master my powers, but I have to admit I love this barrier."
Max said, "What a second. Zangoose can't use a barrier!"
"Kids" sighed Bailey, "Haven't you heard of technical machines? Team Tech makes their own and I stole a couple on the way out. Now you all shut up."
Suddenly a ball of black energy appeared in Bailey's hand. He smiled and said, "Shadow ball--Batter up!"
Brock yelled, "Get down!"
Everyone dove out of the way as Dr. Bailey tossed the ball of energy at them. It impacted against the wall creating a good sized dent. Bailey yelled, "Come out and take it like men you little guinea pigs!"
Suddenly something tackled Bailey straight in the gut.
Ash yelled, "Good Pikachu--Quick attack again."
Bailey stepped out of the way able to doge Pikachu this time and said, "That's how you want to play? Fine." He tossed an ultra ball to the ground and yelled, "Sandslash come out. Sand tome attack--now!"
Ash yelled, "Dodge It!"
Pikachu barely dodged the tornado of sand as it raced across the room into the wall.
Bailey smiled, "You've trained him well, let's see if he can handle this: Sludge bomb." Bailey's Sandslash then tossed out a huge glob of poisonous gunk. However before it could hit, Morris' Porygon 2 Glitch took a direct hit blocking it.
Morris yelled, "Ice beam!" Glitch in response fired off a huge ice beam that froze Sandslash solid in a block of ice.
Bailey recalled Sandslash and smiled. "Well that was unexpected--kind of refreshing really. Let's see if you SOBs let's see you handle two at once. He then pulled out a luxury ball and another ultra ball and opened them up. There was Bailey's Zangoose and a Magneton. "Try this on! Zangoose extreme speed. Magneton lock on and Zap Cannon."
Morris yelled, "Glitch--Light Screen."
Ash yelled, "Pikachu--Agility."
Unfortunately Zangoose and Magneton were so fast that the attacks hit before Glitch and Pikachu could defend. Pikachu was still standing--barely. Glitch was on the floor with X'd out eyes muttering, "Someone get the number of that bus."
Bailey smiled and said, "I'd like to stick around but after the missile launch this base is going to self-destruct. Magneton--Zangoose we're making our exit. Magneton use flash." A bright flash of light illuminated the room and when it cleared Bailey and his Pokemon were gone.
May from her hiding place said, "What a coward".
The computer voice then announced, "One minute till missile launch. Self destruct sequence has been initiated. This sequence cannot be aborted. One minute 30 seconds till self destruct."
Morris yelled, "We've got to get the hell out of here!"
Ash yelled, "What about the-----" Morris grabbed him by the shirt yelling, "Hate to say it but there is no time."
One minute later at 40,000 feet a single 777 was passing overhead on the tail was the logo for Air Canada. The pilot said into the radio, "Mauville Control this is Air Canada flight 5935 out of Sydney requesting approach vector."
Suddenly right in front of the plane appeared several streaks of red that shot straight up in front of the plane then disappeared. "Mauville Control can someone tell me what the hell was that?"
Immediately there was a flash of light, the pilot looked again to see what looked like a shower of golden dust falling out the sky like a million shooting stars. The radio crackled to life and said, "Flight 5935 this is Mauville control, your approach vector is 115--welcome to Hoenn."
The pilot repeated, "But what about--" He heard the reply "We didn't pick anything unusual up on radar and--wait a minute--is there suppose to be a meteor shower tonight? What we are now seeing is probably what you saw. Continue on course and land on runway 013."
