Hi again thanks for the reviews but I need more, how about at least one per chapter posted okay. Thanks.

Chapter 7- Vs Rhydon

"Yes Sir" said the leader Rocket who stood before his group of men inside the caves of Mount Moon, they were all dressed in the same black jumpsuits with big Red Rs on the front as the men in the woods. The leader who had just been on the walkie-talkie wore a scarf round his neck and had black spiky hair while the other rockets wore hats and no scarf. "The orders are to find the moonstones and kill anyone who stands in our way" ordered the man in a calm monotone voice, the men saluted and spread out to look for the moonstones.

…

Red and Misty sit behind some rocks as another group of Rockets nearer the opening of the cave are talking. "Lets move closer and hear what they're saying" said Misty as she crawled closer to Team Rocket whilst still hiding behind the rocks. The men stop talking when the two get close and go there separate ways leaving Red and Misty alone.

"I recognise those uniforms" said Red "I've had run ins with them in the past."

"They're Team Rocket all right, they're still looking for moonstones by the looks of things" said Misty as she began to crawl further into the cave whilst still remaining hidden.

…

A Zubat swoops silently over the heads of Misty and Red who have been crawling in circles for a while before Misty speaks "we cant even see where were going let alone fight Team Rocket."

"I have an Idea….Go Pika." Said Red a Pika pops out of his ball and fired a few sparks so he could see where he was "Pika use Flash" said Red and within seconds the cave was filled with a bright light.

"Your Pikachu doesn't look very friendly" said Misty as she looked at the attitude filled look on Pikachu's face.

"He's just a good actor, don't worry about him" said Red as he gently patted Pikachu's head and got a static shock for his trouble.

…

The two walked through the caves for a while longer before they rested mainly because they were lost. "Hello! Can anyone help us!" yelled Red till Misty slammed her hand over Red's mouth.

"Team Rocket are swarming these caves so you think it's a good idea to shout about our location" said Misty who was angry about how silly this boy was being.

"Sorry I didn't think" said Red "Hey what's that noise?" There was the noise of hundreds of beating wings and shrill cries a swarm of Zubat came flying out of another tunnel and flew straight into Red, Red stumbled backwards and fell onto a boulder. "Ouch, stupid rock" said red as he kicked the boulder before he realised it wasn't such a good idea and held his foot in pain.

"That wasn't a good idea" said Misty as she stared wide eyed at Red.

"Look my foot hurts I don't need a lecture" said Red as he rubbed his foot through his sneaker.

"No….look" said Misty as she pointed, red turned round and came face to face with the boulder only to find it wasn't a boulder but was actually a Rhyhorn, Rhyhorn roared and glared at Misty, Red and Pikachu.

"I see you met Rhyhorn" said the man wearing the ninja scarf with spiky blackn hair who was the leader of Team Rocket. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" asked the man as he petted Rhyhorns head.

"I'm red and I'm here to stop you from stealing all the moon stones and hurting anymore pokemon" said Red angrily.

"Oh and I was going to let you go, pity. I wont let any snot nosed runts fool around with Team Rocket…I'll just have to teach you a lesson the hardway."

"Oh yeah, you and what army" said Red with his usual cocky grin.

"Haven't you been paying attention…this one" said the leader as members of Team rocket began to flood into the cave.

"Rock Throw" orders the leader as the men circle Red and Misty creating an impromptu battle arena. Rhyhorn begins to stamp its feet as Rocks fall from the roof of the cave, the rocks land and knock Pika back before a final one buries it.

"Pika" yelled Red as he surged for Pika but was thrown back seconds later when the rocks exploded in a burst of sparks by the very angry little pokemon, Pika began to throw some of the rocks back at Rhyhorn but it doesn't seem to do any good, Pika throws one last rock which passes Rhyhorn and hits a stalactite which crumbles through years of erosion and drops hard onto Rhyhorn's head almost fainting it.

Red smiles Cockily and calls for a quick attack, Pika slams into Rhyhorn but merely bounces off "You may have weakened my Rhyhorn but I have other means of beating you" said the leader with a laugh as he pulled out a syringe and slides a needle into Rhyhorn who begins to thrash around angrily before it begins to glow.

"What's happening?" asked Red shocked by the events he was seeing.

"Rhyhorn is evolving…they must have injected Gyarados with that stuff…that's why he was so angry" said Misty as she watched Rhyhorn take shape into it's new form Rhydon. Misty's face hardens into a scowl with fury as she releases Staru and orders a water gun, the starfish pokemon blasts a beam of water at the Rhydon forcing it back a few steps.

"Horn drill" ordered the man as Rhydon surged forward with a spinning horn on it's head. The Horn spins and sends the water scattering around the room but effectively not getting Rhydon wet. Rhydon quickly turns and slams Misty with it's tail knocking her out as she slammed hard into the cave wall.

"Misty?" yelled Red as he dived towards his unconscious friend and held her head in his arms, his face turned bright red and he growled with fury "Pika attack with a Tackle" Pika surges forward only to get stomped by Rhydon.

Rhydon stands with it's foot on Pika and roars before it begins to throw rocks at red and Misty. Pika squeals as it released a huge Thunder attack on the Rhydon causing the pokemon to stunble back, Pikachu leapt into the air and began to zap the rocks and stalactites in the ceiling.

The Rockets yell with fright as the rocks begin to come down on top of them, a huge fissure appears in the ceiling rather quickly as boulders begin to crumble on top of the gang, with one final giant rock coming from the ceiling Red Misty and Pika are separated by the cave in from the Rocket members.

Red grabs Misty and hoists her onto his shoulder and begins to run to the exit that Pika had just created.

…

Outside the cave, Misty slowly awakes to see red sitting over her with a worried look on his face. The two smile nervously and blush. Misty sits up and rubs her head before she looks down at herself and screams. Misty had been covered from head to toe in thick black mud from her pokemon's water attacks and Pika's cave in and also from when Red dropped her a few times in the cave but he wasn't going to mention that.

"I'm filthy" screamed Misty as she released her Staru and ordered it to clean her. Minute later Misty was all clean but soaking wet, she smiled at Red and the two began to walk silently side by side towards Cerulean city, both were to tired to talk.

"It's a shame we didn't get a moon stone" said Misty a while later as they neared Cerulean.

Red giggles as he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a rock with a crescent moon carving on it.

"When did you get that?" asked Misty with a wide smile on her face.

"Just after the cave in I saw it lying on the floor" said red with a smile, he felt happy with himself till he looked at Misty "what?"

"You mean to tell me when I was lying half dead you were collecting rocks" said Misty angrily, Red stuttered for a second as he tried to find his words before he started to run down the road.

"You better run because when I get my hands on you…" said Misty as she trailed off talking and focused totally on catching the boy as he sprinted towards Cerulean City.

To Be Continued…

Next Time…Red faces off against the Cerulean City Gym Leader for his Cascade Badge.
