A Plan in Action: Birds of a Feather

Giovoni was in an excellent mood thanks to a shipment he'd just received from some of his scientists stationed in Silph Co. They had just shipped him a dozen Master Balls. These special pokeballs were capable of capturing any pokemon without fail and causing them to become totally obedient. The last set he had were still in the experimental stages and the pokemon contained in them managed to break free of the balls control. This time however he was sure that little glitch was taken care of. And now that he had his new "Toys" It was time to put phase one of his next plan into action.

"009" Said Giovoni into an intercom on his desk

"Yes boss?" Answered Domino from the intercom

"Prepare my jet we're going on a trip." Said Giovoni

"Where to sir?" Asked Domino

"Lightning Island" Answered Giovoni

An hour later 100 rocket grunts and four rocket executives including Giovoni were on their way to the Orange Islands

Lugia was looking forward to seeing his family again. It had been about two decades since he'd seen his wife or his son. Because of his charges, Zaptos, Articuno Moltres, he hardly got to see them. He kept in regular telepathic contact with his mate and was ecstatic when she informed him that they'd be flying near the Orange Islands soon. The only thing that could ruin this for him is if the three brats err birds started acting up again. He doubted this though after the hurting he had given them last time. And now I wait I don't even think the birds will try anything with me and my mate around. He thought. Little did he know how wrong he was.

Giovoni and his team arrived on one of the outlying areas near the Elemental Archipelago to begin preparations for their mission.

"I want us to divide into three groups." Began Giovoni "Bason you will take 30 grunts and head to Ice Island. Bashou you will take another 30 and head to Fire Island. The rest of you are with me and 009. I want the pokemon types distributed as fallows. Each group will have predominantly rock types. For Fire and Ice Island you should each have a number of Electrodes and Magnaton. I expect you know what to do with them?" After he received affirmative responses from all present he continued. "Once you arrive on the Islands begin attacking the Shrines immediately. This will draw out our prey and it will eventually draw out our main target. MOVE OUT!"

The Lugia family were enjoying themselves and catching up on what they'd missed in the last 20 years.

"So you say they captured him in a cage like a common Pidgey!" Asked Lugia angrily his mate was telling him about how the team rocket scientist Namba captured their son and tried to use him to get her for their Rage Enhancer device. "Why didn't you ask me for help? You know I would've come no matter what Mew would have said about it later."

"You see how you're acting now?" She responded "I was just as angry if not more so and at the time all I could think about was saving our son. You know it takes a calm mind to communicate over long distances and mine was anything but calm. That boy and the human they call the Dragon Master helped us out so I felt it didn't need to trouble you . Besides you were still resting after that "chosen one" business weren't you?"

"I suppose you are correct still-" He was knocked out of his conversation by a loud piercing cry."

("MY ISLAND!")

"TOOOSSS!" Yelled Zaptos angrily upon seeing a horde of Nidoking, Nidoqueen and Rhydon decimating his Island. THE NERVE OF THESE INSECTS TO THINK OF DESICRATING MY SACRED SHRINE THEY SHALL PAY! He thought angrily to himself as he flew into battle.

This was the moment Giovoni had been waiting for. Order all pokemon to launch Rock Blast at that bird NOW!" He ordered

All the rock-pokemon stopped trashing the Island and started Launching rocks of all sizes from their mouths or throwing them at incredible speeds toward the Thunder Titan. Zaptos was infuriated further by the impudence of these pokemon to try and attack him. He launched a titanic Whirlwind attack which sent the rocks back where they came from.

"Don't let him do that to you." Yelled Giovoni to his Grunts and their pokemon "Keep those attacks coming go from different angles he can't stop them all!"

And so they did so. Rocks began coming at Zaptos from every direction. He managed to stop a great deal of them but there were over 40 rock pokemon down there and even some ice pokemon. Once the ice beams and Blizzard attacks started he was forced to try and retreat to think of another game plan.

"Oh no you don't." Said Giovoni as he took a pokeball out of his pocket. "Persian Hyper Beam Now!"

As soon as the classy cat was revealed out of his pokeball he launched a terrifying Hyper Beam straight at Zaptos. Zaptos was too preoccupied with dodging rocks and ice attacks while shooting thunder every chance he had. When the Hyper Beam hit he was hit right between the wings and he went crashing to the ground.

"This is it men surround it!" Commanded Giovoni as the Rockets and their pokemon surrounded the Thunder Bird. "Domino use that Pokeball I gave you earlier!"

Domino complied and threw the master ball and it hit Zaptos on the wing. He struggled to break free, but the ball's force field proved too much for him and Zaptos was captured.

Bashou had her orders and she knew exactly what to do, so as soon as her team reached Fire Island they began destroying the shrine there. Within half an hour their prey arrived as well.

"TREEEESSSS" Yelled Moltres as he looked at his decimated shrine. Like Zaptos he was beyond rage by the arrogance of these humans and their pokemon and he intended to make them pay. He wasted no time in launching an awesome Overheat Attack that covered the whole island burning trees and causing several of the humans who didn't come prepared with heat resistant armor to scream in pain as they were literally burned alive. Most of the pokemon being rock, ground and water type. Weren't overly bothered by the heat although a few did sufferer burns. Moltres was shocked that anyone survived that attack so launched another, but thanks to Overheat deteriorating in power after every use the attack wasn't nearly as powerful as the first and it left Moltres momentarily winded.

"Hit it with water and rock attacks now!" Yelled Bashou to her remaining men and their pokemon she had lost about ten grunts between the two Overheat attacks and even with her armor she sustained so first and second degree burns on her body.

The pokemon launched their attacks and the winded phoenix could barely stand after being hit with Hydro Pumps, Water Pulses, Rock Blasts and Rock Slide attacks. The only pokemon ever to hurt Moltres this bad was Zaptos and on occasion Lugia and he was not going to allow these sorry excuses for attacks be the death of him. He gathered all of his remaining power preparing to initiate a powerful Fire Blast but was interrupted when he felt something hard hit him under his wing. The next thing he knew the world had gone black and it felt like something was compressing him into a small space. Then he knew no more.

With her mission complete Bashou picked up the Master Ball and headed to rendezvous with the boss.

Bason's team had the worst going out of any of the teams. Because Ice Island was always cold and snowy by the time Articuno showed up and started launching Hail and Blizzard attacks Bason could barely see to give any orders. "Everyone with a fire type use Overheat Now!" He ordered desperate to keep the cold at bay. "When we get a glimpse of that thing hit it with every electric and rock attack you can think of!"

The pokemon did as their masters bid and after the fire types used their Overheat attacks Articuno was clearly visible above the island. As soon as the pokemon saw her they launched even more attacks desperate to bring down the Ice Titan. However Articuno was not going down alone. She unleashed a Shear Cold attack that managed to make half the pokemon faint unfortunately for her the attacks were already released and she too fell victim to a Master Ball like the other legendary birds.

By the time Lugia and his mate arrived it was too late to save any of the birds and it was also too late to avoid Giovoni's trap. Lugia and his mate had been at the bottom of the Ocean between the islands with their son when they had heard Zaptos' cry of rage. They had then told their son to stay put and they went to investigate what the noise was about thinking that it was the usual feuding between the birds. But what they saw when they breached the surface baffled them. No rain. No lightning. No thunder. Plane blue sky and everything seemed calm. This lasted the better part of thirty seconds when Lugia suddenly sensed a massive amount of electricity headed his way. He and his mate both used Safeguard to block the attacks and turned around to see where they came from. Right off the coast of Lightning Island a large frigate with a large 'R' on the side was headed straight for them. On the deck of the boat 70 humans each holding pokeballs.

On board the frigate Giovoni was shocked to see two Lugias instead of the one he was expecting. While this could become a problem it could also become a great opportunity "009 how long until the birds are done in the rejuvenator?" Asked Giovoni talking into his headset.

"about another 20 minutes sir they were hurt pretty badly during their capture." Replied Domino.

"That's not good enough have them done in ten!" Commanded Giovoni "We have unexpected company and we'll need all the fire power we can get."

"yes sir." Answered Domino as she pumped the rejuvenator to maximum output causing other systems like navigation and lighting to cease functioning.

"Send out the Skarmory and Murkrow now!" Yelled Giovoni to the grunts surrounding the deck. Since this battle was begin waged over the ocean rock and fire types would be pretty useless. "Get those Whiscash in the water Now!"

The pokemon immediately began to surround the Lugias from all sides and awaited their commands. However Lugia wasn't going to let the get any he immediately unleashed Aero Blast towards the Murkrow and Skarmory while his partner use Confusion on the Whiscash. The Skarmory being steel types were only minimally damaged and the Murkrow avoided the attack by using Faint Attack and hitting Lugia hard. The Whiscash dove under the water and retaliated with ice beams toward the female Lugia who managed to dodge most of them and take minimal damage by the few that connected.

Giovoni ordered the frigate to move closer to the battle area then commanded the release of all the ghost pokemon available. Within minutes the Rocket forces were doubled with the addition of Haunters, Gengars, Sableye and various other dark ghost pokemon. This was the moment of truth all his careful planning for the past months was about to pay off he could feel it. "Order the ghosts to use Shadow Ball now!" Yelled Giovoni.

Their orders given the ghosts prepared to launch the dark onslaught. Lugia hurriedly put up protect and his mate did the same as the attacks slammed into them their shields barely able to hold out. The battle was quickly tiring them and they knew if they didn't do something soon they would be captured like the three birds. Lugia decided to use Whirlpool attack to get rid of the boat. While he usually didn't like harming humans he saw no choice but to get rid of the cause of the problem.

"Sir the birds are fully rejuvenated what are your orders?" Asked Domino

"Excellent I will command them." Said Giovoni as he took the three master balls from Domino. "Articuno, Zaptos, and Moltres I choose you!" He then threw the balls into the air and the three elemental titans rose into the sky. Just as the whirlpool began to form around the ship "Articuno use Blizzard on the Lugia using Whirlpool Zaptos, Moltres attack the other with Fire Spin on Thunderbolt!"

Concentrating on his Whirlpool Lugia didn't see the Blizzard coming until it was too late and it broke his concentration on the Whirlpool. Meanwhile his partner was too busy trying to stave off Shadow balls and Faint Attacks to notice the fire and lightning that slammed into her. The birds healed themselves with recover but they where still fatigued from using so many attacks.

Wondering what was taking his parents so long and seeing that there was a lot of commotion going on above the water the young Lugia decided to take a look and started heading toward the surface.

"Articuno, Zaptos, Moltres Triple Hyper Beam!" Commanded Giovoni "The rest of you keep them distracted!"

The pokemon began to surround the Lugias again when suddenly they both released Aero Blast knocking half of the flying and ghost pokemon out of the sky the other half were push back by the shockwave and their attacks fired off course. Then suddenly the female Lugia was hit by three very powerful yellow beams and she went crashing towards the sea below!

"NO!" Screamed Lugia now full of rage as he unleashed a vicious Dragon Breath aiming straight at Moltres

"Articuno Block that attack with Ice Beam" commanded Giovoni "Zaptos Thunder. Moltres Fire Blast!"

By this time the young Lugia saw his mother take the Hyper Beams and saw his father hit by the thunder, ice and fire attacks.

Before Lugia passed out he sent his son a mental message "RUN find the chosen one and tell him to…"

("To what father?") asked the younger Lugia aloud.

This got him the attention of Giovoni. A third one! He thought astonished at his luck "Hit that little bird with a Hyper beam you three!" He ordered the birds.

They all charged up and prepared for the attack and just as they launched their attacks the mother Lugia jumped in the path and took the attacks intended for her son. "I love you my son…Now Go!" she commanded and with that the beams hit and she knew no more. The young Lugia did as he was told and left to find the chosen one but he would never forget the sacrifice his mother made nor the man who caused her to make it.

Giovoni recalled the three birds to their pokeballs and threw another at the unconscious Lugia in floating in the water. He was so week he couldn't even put up a struggle and just like that he was captured.
