It's My Baby

Chapter 5:
Team Rocket's Surprise Attack

Aquamarine's POV

And so, the month and my pregnancy dragged on. I went back to the doctor several times and got checked on, Crystal hung around with Sam for moral support from him, and Lightning always seemed to be missing or out of place. I had to admit that I felt a little sorry for him, but he was acting so ignorant that my sympathy towards him was worthless and nothing to lose my head over. Too bad I couldn't say the same for the other Pokémon...

Normal POV

Aquamarine lay sprawled out on the nice warm grass in the vast meadow of Route 1, near the quiet Pallet Town. Crystal was paying a visit to Red's house to talk about advanced Pokémon teams. Sam, for once, stayed behind to keep a close eye on Aquamarine and to call Crystal on her cell phone if anything happening. If he only knew what lurked in the bushes, he'd be dialing her number right now...

The shrubs rustled and shook as a Team Rocket Grunt peered through the bushes. He whipped out a walkie-talkie and spoke into it.

"Crouching Raikou to Hidden Dragonite, Crouching Raikou to Hidden Dragonite, do you read me, over?"

"...Yes, I read. Go ahead," the responding voice came, after a brief static interruption.

"I've finally managed to track down the alleged Suicune..."

"Good work. Are the sightings true? Is it really expecting?" Static hissed after he finished.

"Affirmative. Indeed, it is heavy with baby."

"Impossible!"

"I'm seeing it with my own eyes. It's true, I swear it!"

"Very well, then. Initiate Plan 62B immediately."

"Negative. A juvenile is in the premises."

"Then I suggest you dispose of the child immediately."

"Affirmative. Crouching Raikou, over and out." The Grunt hung up his walkie- talkie and fingered a Poké Ball. He then reached into his backpack and pulled a rather gun. Standing up in the bushes, he prepared his assault.

Aquamarine's POV

Even with Sam staring idiotically into space, I felt somewhat... under someone's constant attention... like somebody was following me... My senses were going crazy and it really bothered me when the Route suddenly become deadly quiet. Perking up, I used my keen eyes to scan the area for anything out of the ordinary. Just as I landed my gaze on a bush, I saw the lanky shadow of a man pointing something at me.

Before a got a chance to launch an Ice Beam at him, he fired a grappling net out of his small cannon. I easily dodged it and began Roaring at Sam to bring him back from La-La Land. The idiot snapped to reality as the man revealed himself.

"Hand over the Suicune, and nobody gets hurt!"

"Team Rocket!" Sam fumbled with his cell phone and started dialing frantically.

Crystal's POV

"Red, you loser! The least you could do is show up at your own house once in a while!"

Finding out that he had retreated to Mt. Silver AGAIN really burnt me up. Especially because his mother was always so worried. What an ungrateful dork...

I sat in his room, pouting over Red's unnatural ways of living. The ringing of my cell phone made me even until I realized it must've been Sam. Hastily, I picked up, hearing total chaos in the background.

"Sam, what's going on?!"

"It's Team Rocket!" Sam struggled to shout. He sounded like he was in a fight with someone.

"Let go of the net!"

"Hang on, Aqua! Tantrum, use Vine Whip!"

"Mega Mega!"

"Feraow, Drill Peck!"

"You're... not getting away...!"

"FEARRRRRR!"

"Razor Leaf!"

"Let GO...!!!!!!!!"

I could scrapping and grunting before the phone went dead. Not trying to call back, I rushed out of Red's room, downstairs, and out the door, leaving Red's mom to shake her head in disgust and mumble something pineapples.

I rode my bike out to Route 1, only to see a baffled Sam sitting on the ground and a badly beaten Meganium beside him.

"Sam, what happened?"

"It was...a... Grunt from Team Rocket..." Sam looked like he'd just lost a fight to herd of Ursaring, with torn clothes, ruffled hair, scratches, and a black eye. "I tried to stop him... but... he used a Fearow against... Tantrum and...uh..." Sam trailed off, standing up and scratching his head, looking around in fear and confusion. "And don't get mad at me... but... he stole Aqua..."

Rather than have spasm and go crazy like Sam thought I would, simply ordered him to use his flying Pokémon and follow me on my Dragonite.

Aquamarine's POV

Stupid Team Rocket. They always seemed to show up we they weren't needed... then again, that's just what bad guys were supposed to do. I wasn't sure where I was or were I had been, but I knew that I wasn't supposed to be wherever I was going.

An iron gate slammed open and the cover was lifted from my eyes. I looked about at my new destination and recognized it immediately as the secret Team Rocket Base in Mahogany Town. No one ever bothered to do anything about it after the Rockets left, so it was only natural that they would try to make a comeback.

The Grunt from before tightly encircled a thick spike collar was around my neck as a rough leash yanked me forward and I followed reluctantly. Because the base was so small, there weren't a multitude of Rockets, but there were a lot of Pokémon, most of them captured like me. The owner of my leash led me pass countless cages, moldy and unkempt with unfortunate Pokémon rotting away in them.

I expected the worst as the Grunt leading me arrived to the Admin's room, addressing her, or at least, the back of her chair.

"Madam, the Suicune has been captured. What am I to do with her?"

The executive turned in her chair, a Houndour in her lap. "HER?" she questioned, raising an eyebrow. "Since when did legendary Pokémon have genders?"

The Grunt yanked on my chain, forcing me forward. "Well, upon sightings and closer examinations, it seems that this Suicune may be pregnant," the member replied.

Smirking, the manager advanced towards me and put her hand on my pregnant belly, patting and rubbing as if it were the most valuable thing in the world.

"How sweet," she cooed. "Take her to the Rocket Suite and make sure she has the utmost care and give her anything she wants and will need." She then glared at my choker. "You incompetent fool! Get rid of this! That is for captive Pokémon only!"

"But Madam, she IS a captive..." the Grunt cowered.

Grabbing the rookie affiliate, she spat in his face. "Damn you Grunts! You'll never learn! Don't the words EXPECTING LEGENDARY POKéMON mean ANYTHING to you?! Think of the possibilities! She'll give birth here and we can use the child and train it under the name of Team Rocket! The child will then breed with suitable Pokémon and we could end up having a horde of super Legendary Pokémon!"

"I guess that's possible..." the Grunt meekly mumbled.

"Shut up!" she roared, throwing him on the ground. "Take her to suite..."

The Rocket got up and took my collar off. As the lapel was released, I ran as fast as I could, barreling past Rockets and Pokémon littering the hallway. Unfortunately, I soon had to stop because my stomach was hurting...badly. Sprinting like that must've disturbing the baby and now it was...kicking. I didn't have to consider myself lucky for too long before a dart hit my neck... and everything went black...
