Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Shadow of the Dragon. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Pokémon, Nintendo, Game Freak and a few others do.
(Blackthorn City)
Clair leapt off Dragonair as the Pokémon leapt into the water, Clair also drew another Poke ball and tossed it into the air
Kingdra popped into the water before she heard running behind her.
A squad of Team Rocket thugs with Koffing and Zubats stepped out to greet her.
Another squad, those being the armored soldiers she heard blocked her, a Sealeo and Sharpedo in the water and Seviper and Dostox in the air.
"That's the Gym Leader, she fell right into our trap!" One of the Team Rocket Grunts said before Clair saw Seviper whip a Poison Tail at Dragonair.
The Pokémon vanished under the wave for a moment before another voice cut them off.
"Croconaw, use Hydro Pump, Vaporeon, Ice Beam!" The voice yelled, Croconaw leapt out of the water and blasted a beam of water which slammed into the Dustox. It was knocked it out of the air as it slammed into the ground. Croconaw also tackled the owner into the water before Vaporeon leapt off its back.
Vaporeon fired a beam of ice from her mouth which froze 2 of the armored soldiers at the feet and knocked Seviper into the water.
Vaporeon leapt back into the water as Croconaw flipped onto land and growled at the enemies.
Clair turned and saw Mason on land before the grunts reacted.
"Zubat, use Bite! Someone get the boss and tell them that we ran into trouble and to work faster! We didn't bring a lot of people!" The Grunt yelled, one of the grunts nodded and ran off.
"Kingdra, use Dragonbreath!" Clair asked, Kingdra leapt out of the water and slammed 2 of the armored soldiers into the water with a burst of breath. They slammed into the water, the ice on their legs shattering.
One of the Team Rocket Grunts grabbed her, Clair elbowed the thug before Vaporeon tackled the man into the water.
The water exploded as Sharpedo was knocked back by an Iron Tail from Dragonair.
"I'd run if I was you, I have more water Pokémon on me!" Mason yelled before Clair turned to the battle in the water.
"Dragonair, use Thunder Wave!" Clair ordered, Vaporeon leapt out of the water before Kingdra leapt out of the water.
Dragonair flew into the air and blasted out a wave of lightning which shocked Sharpedo and Sealeo out.
"Dang it, we're out!" One of the Team Rocket Grunts ordered, they nodded and ran for it as did 2 of the armored soldiers.
The ones in the water went to retreat before Mason tossed two Poke balls into the air.
One of the soldiers was grasped by Kingler and the other by Poliwrath.
Kingdra dropped down into the water before Dragonair dragged the 2 Team Rocket members into the water.
Croconaw dove into the water as Mason walked around to wave at Clair.
"Not bad for a rookie." Clair teased, Mason chuckled and rolled his eyes.
"Hey, my Water Pokémon and the rest of my team saved you. You'd be dead if not for not for them stepping in." Mason said as Clair leaned in to look at the soldiers.
"These guys aren't Team Rocket, their more trained and better equipped than Team Rocket." Clair noted, she turned and looked at the grunts Dragonair was wrapped around.
"You guys both said something of an operation, what is it?" Clair asked, the Grunts laughed.
"You really think we'd tell you if we did know? We'd rather die!" One of the Grunts asked, Mason turned to look at Kingler.
Kingler grasped the Grunt's shoulder and squeezed, not enough to hurt the man, but show them that it could.
"Ok, I'll talk, tell your Kingler to stop!" The Grunt yelled, Kingler did so as Croconaw circled the duo.
"We were hired along with another team of thugs to grab some Pokémon from here! They only told us grab the strongest ones then take them away, I don't know any more than that, I swear!" The thug put in.
"So, we have a small army who hired Team Rocket and another army of thugs to go grab Pokémon…" Clair muttered, she could hear sirens, someone had to have called officer Jenny and the other police.
"Well, that's all they said…." I'm going to go look for them, you can't hide a small army that easy. Mason stated before he started walking away.
"I'm coming with you" Clair said, Mason turned.
"Why? I think I can track down a small army and then tell the police." Mason said, Clair shook her head.
"Because I said so, and because these guys aren't just dangerous, they look like they're going on a rampage." Clair said as she recalled Kingdra.
"Plus, there's no way I'm letting these guys get away. I need to make sure they don't." Clair stated.
"Whatever you say." Mason stated.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! I know it was short and a bit one sided, battles after this will be different. I also want to point out that this story is going to borrow a bit from the Shadow of Lugia game. Next chapter will be next Tuesday and will show Clair and Mason chasing the enemies. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
Ps: Clair and Korrina's story will be combined into one.
