Sorry about the long wait, college and work have eaten up most of my time. But I hope you enjoy Part 2 of the raid of the TDS base.


"You may have beaten Sirius and Typhoon before, but I am leagues above them. However, I know you've gotten stronger since you battled them, so I will not make the same mistake. I will battle you alongside Team Dark Star's highest ranking admin! I hear you have met her before."

"Hello Jack, I am shocked at how things have turned out, but now..."

"...I must end you."

Jack was shocked to find out that Meridia, the woman who helped him and his friends at several points throughout their journey and was generally kind to them, was working with an evil organization.

"Hahahahaha, are you surprised?!" Andromeda asked with a wicked smile. Jack's expression changed, he thought for a moment and sighed before answering.

"I wish I could be..." Jack said solemnly, causing the two women to raise an eyebrow in confusion. "But now that I think about it, I should have seem this coming. Meridia, you always seemed to appear at a time that was convenient to us, stringing us along and making us think you were an innocent woman who simply wanted to help. You made us think you were our friend. You made us trust you, but you just took me, took my friends... and played us like a damn fiddle!"

"You had the chance to join us Jack, you could have been a great trainer, perhaps as strong as the legendary trainer Red, or your father or grandfather. But unfortunately for you, we will end your journey here." Meridia sighed. She and Andromeda sent out their pokemon, a Clefable and Solrock respectively. The Clefable was the same Clefairy she used when she had beaten Jack the first time.

Jack sent out his Venusaur and Seadra in response.

"You think that simply because you have a type advantage against us, you will win? You simple minded fool!" Andromeda hissed. "Solrock, Cosmic Power!"

"Clefable, use Calm Mind." Meridia ordered, she sounded calm and she had a serious look on her face.

"Venusaur, Razor Leaf, and Seadra, use Water Pulse!" Jack ordered. Venusaur shook it's front body, shaking off the leaves on its plant which then split up into razor sharp smaller leaves, Seadra blasted out an orb of water that was almost as large as it was.

'Going on the attack immediately. How... simple.' Andromeda thought.

"Have you not learned from your journey?!" Meridia spat. "Clefable, Moonblast!"

"Oh I've definitely learned." Jack replied, giving Meridia a sly grin. The Razor Leaves passed through the Water Pulse, splitting up the orb of water into smaller orbs that were now targeting both opposing pokemon, the attacks made contact, with Clefable appearing to be dazed and confused after taking the hits.

"Very shrewd, but that won't grant you a victory..." Andromeda hissed.


Diego exited the labs and tried looking for either Jack or the twins. He descended down to the ground floor and encountered a Dark Star grunt that seemed to recognize him.

"You! You're the guy from Lavender Town!" The grunt said. It was Dakota.

"I... don't remember you..." Diego answered.

"Aww come on, what?! Well whatever, I can't let you stay here!" Dakota replied.

"Bring it!"

Diego sent out his Krokorok and Dakota sent out a Fraxure.

"Dragon Claw!" Both boys ordered. The two Pokémon clashed their hands together into a grapple, both equal in power. The two then released one of their claws and began to rake at the head of the other.

They released the grapple on each other, ready for their next order.

"Fraxure, use Swords Dance!" Dakota commanded. Fraxure clashed it's own claws together, they began to glow white and extend several inches.

"Gotcha! Krokorok, use Foul Play!"

Krokorok's arm began to glow purple as it punched Fraxure square in the face.

"Argh, Fraxure use Dragon Claw again!"

"You two Krokorok, Dragon Claw!"

The two pokemon charged at each other again, their claws glowing a reddish-purple hue. Instead of grappling though, the two simply slashed at each other's face. The two reptilian Pokémon stood in place for a moment before staggering back, both with heavy damage inflicted on them.

The two then both began to glow a familiar white, evolving into Krookodile and Haxorus respectively.

"This couldn't have come at a more perfect time! OK Krookodile, grab him and use Crunch!"

Krookodile leaped towards Haxorus and bit it's axe like fang on the right side of its face, if it did any damage, it didn't appear to be noticeable.

"Haxorus, get it off you with Dragon Pulse!"

Dakota's Haxorus swiped it's head further to the right, causing Krookodile's grip on it to loosen and finally give out. Once Krookodile had let go, Haxorus blasted it with a grey and blue stream of energy from its mouth, knocking the Desert Croc away several feet.

'Even though he's a bad guy, this guy trains his pokemon well.' Diego thought to himself.

'He's good, and he's gotten stronger since we technically met by the power plant.' Dakota thought.

"Use Foul Play!"

"Haxorus, Dual Chop!"

The two attacks collided, the two pokemon grappled again, despite their evolutions and taking heavy damage, their strength continued to be roughly equal...


Renée has left the labs with Riolu, meeting up with Simon and Max in one of the hallways. Needless to say, Renée was shocked and confused to see the former.

"Huh? Simon? What are you doing here?"

"...It's a long story..." Simon answered.

"We don't have much time! We have to find Sandra, knowing her, she actually will burn this building down!" Max said in panic.

"Wait what?! Slow down, who are you, who's is Sandra?" Renée asked.

"My name is Max, my friend Sandra as well as Simon here were former members of Team Dark Star. After finding out more about the boss, we were pretty much sentenced to death. We were set free by one of your other friends and now Sandra wants to get revenge by burning this building to cinders!" Max explained.

"Jack's here. He set us free and he's looking for the boss." Simon added. Renée was just trying to understand everything.

"Renée we need your help." Simon pleaded.

"Ok... I trust you." Renée said, she went off with the former grunts, keeping one of her poke balls ready just in case they were tricking her, she hated the thought of one of her friends potentially tricking her...


Ryan was also looking for Sandra. The hallway he was in was empty and the sounds of his footsteps echoed through the halls, however he stopped when he noticed another set of footsteps in the area.

A few seconds after he stopped moving though, the footsteps stopped being as frequent, meaning that whoever was there slowed down as well. He waited to see who the person was and was completely shocked to see Julia.

'W-what?! What is she doing here? ... She's probably looking for Jack, and if she's here, her sister must be here too.' Ryan thought. Ryan began to follow Julia, trying to catch up with her but he began to grow worried when he began to feel an intense heat, he turned a corner and saw Julia face to face with Sandra, her Mega Houndoom still by her side.

"You must be with that other boy." Sandra said. "And Ryan, why are you following her?"

Julia turned around and jumped back a bit when she saw Ryan.

"Hey! W-why were you following me?!" Julia snapped.

"Hehe, sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, I was just trying to make sure nothing was going to happen to you." Ryan said, chuckling in embarrassment.

"You mentioned another boy though." Julia said, speaking back at Sandra.

"Jack's here." Ryan answered her. "He helped set us free, it's a long story and I'll tell you more about it later."

"Do you know where he went?" Julia asked.

"Knowing our former boss, he's probably trying to leave from the airfield, so your friend is probably there."

"Then let's go!" Julia said, she and Ryan headed towards the nearest staircase. Ryan stopped for a moment and turned back to see Sandra still standing there.

"Aren't you coming?" He asked.

"Just a moment. Houndoom, Fire Blast!" Sandra ordered, Houndoom blew out another star shaped flame across the hallway, igniting everything in its path. "Now let's go."


"Venusaur, use Sludge Bomb on Clefable. Banette, hit Lunatone with Shadow Claw!" Jack ordered.

"Clefable, Psychic." Meridia commanded. Andromeda's Solrock had already been knocked by Jack's Seadra, who was knocked out by Clefable.

"Lunatone, Psyshock." Andromeda ordered.

Clefable used it's Psychic attack to form a bubble of energy, the bubble connected with the Sludge Bomb, causing an explosion, however the explosion only caused smaller Sludge Bombs to come out and contact with Clefable, knocking it out.

Lunatone began to glow light purple, it sent out a barrage of small stones that glowed the same color. The stones scattered and froze in midair for a moment before crashing into Banette, who charged at Lunatone.

Banette took considerable damage from the attack but continued charging, brandishing it's claw at Lunatone and slashing it, doing enough damage to knock it out as well.

"You certainly have grown stronger Jack, but this battle is far from over." Meridia said, she still sounded calm which annoyed Jack. She sent out her next pokemon, a Togekiss, the same one she used when the rest of the group was heading to Vermillion City.

Andromeda had sent out a Sharpedo, which she promptly mega evolved using a Key Ring stored within the mask she wore.

"Hehehe, you're through." Andromeda laughed. "Aqua Jet."

Sharpedo sped towards Banette faster than any of them could see, the Shark pokemon's body had enveloped itself in water and crashed into the Ghost, knocking it out cleanly.

'This could be bad...' Jack thought. 'Guess I have no choice.' "Venusaur, Mega Evolve and use Petal Blizzard!"

"Sharpedo, Protect!"

Sharpedo created a shield made out of energy to protect itself from the attack, Togekiss seemed to take little to no damage.

"Don't you see Jack? You have no chance!" Meridia said.


"Dragon Dance!"

Diego and Dakota were still locked in their heated battle, both still only had their first Pokémon out.

"Don't you know boosting your attack power makes Foul Play do more damage? Speaking of which. Krookodile, Foul Play, now!" Diego ordered. Krookodile went for the attack again, only for Haxorus to step out of the way of the attack due to its now boosted speed.

"The attack might be stronger, but can you even hit Haxorus now? Haxorus, use Dragon Claw!" Dakota taunted.

Haxorus slashed at Krookodile, hitting it with a nasty uppercut that left Krookodile reeling back.

"Argh, two can play at this game! Dragon Claw!" Diego retorted. Both pokemon raised their claws and raked at each others faces one last time, both putting every last ounce of power they had in their attack.

The attacks connected, the two pokemon stood in place, both had their opponents claws on their faces before the two collapsed.

"That was just the start, I still have five more-" Dakota began before he could see other people coming towards them. Recognizing the former grunts as well as the twins, he ran off to join the rest of the organization, knowing he couldn't stand a chance against all of them.

"Hey! Where ya' goin'?! Come back and fight like a man!" Diego shouted.

"Diego! What's going on here? What happened?" Renée asked.

"I was battling some Team Dark Star dude, he said he knew me from somewhere." Diego replied.

"He's probably heading towards the airfield, we don't have much time!" Simon said, Diego recalled his Krookodile and followed the group. They all made their way to the door leading to the airstrip and we're shocked to see Pandora, still lying on the floor, unconscious.

"Pandora's here too?!" Julia said in shock.

"What happened to her?!" Renée pondered. The sounds of pokemon battling on the other side of the door made them worried.

"Is everyone ready?" Ryan asked. Everyone nodded, Simon picked up Pandora and placed her away from the door, Ryan turned the doorknob and forced the door open...

Jack was still locked up in his heated battle against Meridia and Andromeda. Jack's Fearow took down Meridia's Togekiss using Steel Wing. Meridia had sent out a Mawile and Mega Evolved it.

"Enough of this!" Andromeda shouted, "Sharpedo, use Blizzard!"

"Iron Head." Meridia ordered, she tried not to be loud as she could see the others behind Jack. Conversely, she knew they couldn't see her face very well, as the sunlight from outside masked her face, though she backed away further into the light to avoid detection.

"Venusaur, Razor Leaf, and Fearow, use Drill Run on Mawile!" Jack ordered. Venusaur's leaves collided with the Blizzard, the two attacks collided with their target. Venusaur's Thick Fat caused the damage it would have taken to decrease, Sharpedo however was quickly taken down by the attack, despite mega evolving, it's defenses were still rather low.

Fearow and Mawile clashed repeatedly. Fearow spun in a tornado fashion, using its beak as a spear, while Mawile was using one of its now two extra sets of jaws to parry Fearow's attacks.

"Continue attacking..." Meridia said.

'This is bad... at this rate Meridia will actually fall!' Andromeda thought. She ran away from the battle to get her husband.

"Venusaur, use Spore!" Jack commanded. Venusaur let out a blue and green powder out of the plant on its back, as the spores got closer the Fearow and Mawile, the bird Pokémon flew up higher to avoid the spores, but Mawile wasn't so lucky and was put to sleep by the spores.

"Now Fearow! End this with Drill Run!"

Fearow dived at Mawile, spinning in the air until it looked like a falling drill, it crashed into Mawile, knocking it out and securing Jack's victory.

"Way to go dude!" Diego said, he went to go congratulate and reunite with his best friend. The twins followed suit but before Jack could reply, the former grunts broke them up.

"There's no time for reunions! The boss is still here, he needs to go down!" Sandra hissed.

"Hold on." Max said, taking the time to heal Jack's pokemon. He also gave him a Banettite. "I have a spare one and my own Banette sensed that you have one, you might need it." Jack nodded, thanking Max. The nine of them went to go confront Singularity.

The group headed towards a large plane that was sitting in the runway, there was also two zeppelin that were just beginning to take off with the large crates seen earlier. Singularity exited the plane, despite his mask, he looked at the group with a smug look on his face.

"So you've beaten them." Singularity said, sounding unimpressed.

"What? Is everyone in your gang too scared to show their faces?!" Diego taunted.

"I suppose you have earned that, at the very least." Singularity said. He took off his mask, revealing his face. He showed little emotion, an,d the emotion he did show was anger, or some sort of resentment, his eyes were cold and grey, his hair black and slicked back. He glared at the nine of them, making sure to look at each of them in the eyes before putting his mask back on.

"Seeing my face won't matter though, you'll die before you can ever leave." Singularity threatened, not even sounding angry.

"It's nine against one! You have no chance!" Ryan argued. As soon as he said those words, a platoon of Team Dark Star grunts exited the plane, coming to their boss' aid.

The group was now outnumbered nine to one hundred. Thankfully for the trainers, law enforcement had arrived from Celadon City, evening the odds.

"Hmph, I should have known. At the very least I can have one target." Singularity said, looking right at Jack. "You've done enough damage, but I will show you what it means to defy me. Prepare for your complete and total defeat. Prepare to DIE!" He shouted, putting on a golden gauntlet with two key stones in place of the knuckles.

Singularity took out one of his pokeballs and sent put the pokemon that had knocked out the former grunts the day before. It was a Tyranitar, the beast roared with fury and stomped towards Jack.

Jack sent out his Gallade to battle the beast. The two prepared themselves for battle, Gallade extending it's arm blades.

"Let's dance!" Jack said, eager to begin.

"Hmph, so confident. Tyranitar, Mega Evolve and use Ice Punch!" Singularity ordered, clenching the fist that sported the gauntlet, activating one of the key stones and mega evolving Tyranitar, causing it's Sand Stream ability to become stronger.

"Gallade, Brick Break!" Jack ordered. The two pokemon charged at each other, clashing with their fists several times before both landing a heavy hit on each other's abdomens.

"Earthquake."

"Keep going Gallade, Drain Punch!" Jack ordered. Gallade punched Tyranitar, stunning the beast and absorbing some of its HP before Tyranitar grabbed Gallade and slammed him down to the ground before stomping him, causing the ground and everyone and their pokemon around them to be temporarily shaken.

Thankfully, the HP that Gallade absorbed allowed it to take the hit and still stand.

"One more time Gallade! Drain Punch!" Jack commanded. Gallade charged at Tyranitar and punched it right in the abdomen before rising his fist upward and turning the attack into an uppercut! The attack was enough to bring the Mega Tyranitar down and end the sandstorm.

"Congratulations, you're the first person to knock out my Tyranitar, ever. But that doesn't mean my arsenal has been dented. My next pokemon will obliterate you! Metagross, destroy them!"

Singularity's next pokemon was sent out, having the same sinister look as its master.

"Uh... Gallade, return." Jack said, recalling his Gallade. He thought for a moment before sending out his pokemon, trying to think of what would be the most help.

'Metagross is a lot sturdier than Tyranitar, I need something that can hit it hard and fast... that's it!'

Jack sent out his Fearow next, hoping it's speed and aerial attacks could be useful.

"Use Drill Run!" Jack ordered. Fearow dived at Metagross, which took a noticeable amount of damage.

"Metagross, Mega Evolve and use Hammer Arm!" Singularity commanded. The order to mega evolve shocked everyone as normally only one pokemon could mega evolve in a battle.

"Mwahaha! Are you surprised, this gauntlet allows me to have more than one mega evolution during a battle! Don't you see?! I can't be beaten! Metagross, attack!"

The Mega Metagross lifted one of its four arms and slammed it down onto Fearow, defeating it in a span of seconds.

Jack sent out his Banette next, he would have used his Mightyena, but now that he knew that Metagross knew Hammer Arm, it wouldn't do any good. He saw the Banettite that Max gave him and got an idea.

"Well if you can Mega Evolve then so can I! Banette, Mega Evolve and use Shadow Claw!" Jack ordered.

"Bullet Punch."

Metagross's four fists barraged Banette at lightning speed, but Banette held on, striking back at the iron behemoth with a barrage of its dark claws, the last of which raked Metagross right on the cross shape on its head. This heavy hit brought the Mega Metagross down.

"You are starting to annoy me, boy! But you took down the last of my mega evolved pokemon, a feat none have accomplished. You should at least know of what my plan is, my troops have been collecting pokemon for me to create a beast that will bring this world to its knees. I thought I needed an army, but what sounds more beneficial? An army of pokemon... or pokemon that are as powerful as an army?! This is the power of my superior mind! This is the power of Team Dark Star! THIS IS MY POWER!" Singularity shouted to the heavens, sending out his next... "pokemon". Or at least it was in a pokeball...

The creature that was summoned resembled a bunch of computer data, it was shaped like a backwards 'L' and it was white and grey. It made no noise...

"W-what is that?!" Ryan asked in horror, scanning the creature with his pokedex.

"No data found." The pokedex said.

"This is one of my creations, it has no number in the pokedex, but I haven't given it a proper name yet... Hmm. It has no number so I suppose you could say the number is missing. Yes... Missing number... It's name is Missingno! Now Missingno! Destroy them with your Corruption Pulse!"

Everyone, even some of the TDS grunts were horrified about Missingno, Jack was snapped out of his daze when Missingno gathered energy around itself and blasted it back at Banette, who took the hit. After the attack though, Missingno's shape changed to resemble a white ghost with hands and a creepy smile.

"Interesting, it seems that after a Corruption attack Missingno changes its appearance." Singularity noted.

'Dear Arceus what is that thing?!' Jack thought. 'I need to beat it somehow!' Banette, burn it with Will-O-Wisp!" Jack ordered. Banette created several blue flames from its hands and threw them at Missingno, burning it.

"Corruption Beam!"

Missingno gathered energy again, this time sending it out as a beam of energy that blasted Banette back inside of the building and through a wall. Needless to say, it knocked Banette out.

"Send out your next pokemon so that I can destroy it!" Singularity shouted.

'Send me out!' Jack's Mightyena barked.

'A-are you sure?!' Jack replied.

'I came to fight, not to cower in fear!'

"Ok, Mightyena, do your best!" Jack said, sending out the first pokemon he ever caught.

"This miserable mutt? Ha!"

"Mightyena, use Sucker Punch!"

Mightyena dashed towards Missingno, dodging another Corruption Beam that came it's way before slashing at the being with one of its paws, despite dishing out a monstrous amount of damage, Missingno could not take it, falling to Mightyena's attack.

"This is to be expected, when I mentioned having a pokemon as strong as an army, I was not referring to Missingno. This is what I was talking about! COME FORTH, MY CHIMERA!"

'Another one?!' Everyone thought. However this next creature was different, despite its different appearance to Missingno, Chimera still disturbed everyone. It had the body shape of Beldum, except it was crimson colored, it's head was also pyramid shaped and it had one eye in the center of it. It also had the arms of a Pinsir and the tail of an Gligar. However despite its tail, it levitated.

"This is my ultimate creation, Chimera, a beast created with the DNA of every Pokémon in the Kanto region including the DNA of Mew, Mewtwo, and the legendary bird pokemon! Chimera, destroy that hound with Dynamic Punch!" Singularity commanded.

"I don't think so you psycho! Mightyena, Crunch!" Jack ordered. The Chimera charged at Mightyena with its fist ready to strike, it punched the ground where Mightyena stood, but Mightyena tolled out if the way and sunk it's fangs into the monster, causing it pain.

"Hyper Beam!"

Chimera grabbed Mightyena and released the Hyper Beam at point blank range, leaving it unconscious and burned.

"Mightyena!" Jack called out, trying to leave so he can tend to it.

"If you leave I will kill you where you stand!" Singularity threatened.

Jack turned to the man in anger, ready to fight back personally.

"Gallade, use Drain Punch!" Jack ordered, sending out his Gallade again. Gallade, despite being weakened, charged at his foe.

"Dynamic Punch!"

The two pokemon collided with their fists, both pushing to hit their target. Ultimately, Gallade got the upper hand and punched the Chimera in its eye.

"Argh! Do it again!" Singularity yelled.

"You heard him Gallade, again!" Jack responded. The two pokemon clashed again, but rather than clashing their fists, they repeatedly punched each other, or at least tried to. Their punches simply collided with their opponents punch as if it was a duel of both offense and defense. The two backed away from each other.

"AGAIN!"

'This is going nowhere!' Jack thought. "End this with Psycho Cut!"

Chimera went in for another assault but was swiftly taken down by one final Psycho Cut from Gallade across its body, sending it to the ground. Singularity recalled the monster and stood silently.

"So you've won... but do not think for a moment that this will be the last you hear of Team Dark Star. Fall back." Singularity announced, his troops used smoke bombs to blind everyone while they retreated to the plane, which wasted no time in flying away.

"Damn, they got away!" One of the Officer Jenny's cursed. Several of them had come to aid in the battle, one of them approached Jack.

"They had us fooled the entire time, you were framed for something that you never did and I nearly arrested you for it. For that I have to apologize."

Jack then recognized the officer. It was the same Officer Jenny that tried to arrest him in Maroon Village weeks ago.

Diego and the twins took the time to finally and officially reunite with Jack in a massive group hug. Julia even gave Jack a sweet kiss on his cheek.


A live action news crew came to announce to Kanto about Jack's innocence and the true evils of Team Dark Star. The group all went over to the Pokemon Center to rest. The former grunts were explaining everything that happened to them as they worked for Team Dark Star.

"And then Jack came along and got us out of there." Ryan explained.

"That gang is just... sick!" Renée spat.

"Monsters, every one of them!" Diego added.

"So what are you going to do now?" Jack asked.

"I'm going to finish collecting the eight badges of Kanto." Ryan said. "Do you guys want to join me?"

"Sure." Simon responded. Pandora nodded in agreement as well. Max looked around and saw that Sandra wasn't there. Instead she was headed for the door already.

The others followed her outside, the sun was setting, making the sky as red as Sandra's hair.

"Wait! Where are you going?" Max asked.

"I'm going my own way, I'm free to do what I want now." Sandra said, putting her hair back into a bun, she began to walk away.

"I'm going with you." Max said, as he began to follow her.

"We work well together! And... you're honestly the first friend I had..." Max admitted. Sandra smiled at him and let him join her as the two walked away.

"Oh! I just remembered! Julia, I've got this for you." Jack said, giving Julia the Dawn Stone he held since Maroon Village.

"Aww Jack! It's so pretty!" Julia said in glee, her Snorunt appeared out of its pokeball and took the stone, mesmerized with it. When it touched the stone, it began to evolve, the evolution finished as the sun finished setting, revealing the newly evolved Froslass.

"Wow..." Julia said in awe. The seven of them headed back into the pokemon center to finally get some sleep.
