Another day, another chapter. I think you all know this already, but this story is going to be LONG. I just hope you're all willing to stick around and enjoy it. Speaking if which, if anyone has any ideas for the a side-story / scenario, feel free to ask! However, since we're getting closer to the next gym battle already, this means that there might be more chapters just dedicated to a battle. If it's alright with you all, I'd like to know if you prefer one chapter for all of the battles or separate chapters. Anyway enough rambling, let's get to the action!
It was a new day, there were no clouds in the sky and things were looking bright. It was a perfect day for a gym battle! The main group had returned to Cerulean City, they had eager looks on their faces. Jack had to hold Diego back so he wouldn't go running off just as he did they first time they arrived in Cerulean.
"So are you guys ready to win our third badge?" Renée asked confidently.
"Yeah, we're gonna rock this gym!" Julia cheered. The group arrived at the Gym, but they head some sort of commotion going on, they entered to see Misty talking to three women. One of them had blond hair and wore a pink blouse with khaki pants. The second woman had blue hair and a yellow dress. The third woman had pink hair and had an orange dress with a blue bow.
"C'mon Misty! We need your help with this!" The yellow haired woman stated, Misty gave her a defeated look.
"I'm expecting some trainers today, can't this wait?" Misty whined.
"The show is in 2 hours little sis! The trainers will have to-" The blue haired woman began to say, she noticed the group watching them.
"Oh, are you the trainers Misty was talking about?"
Misty and the other two ladies turned to face the group. Misty gave then a welcoming smile.
"Yeah, they are! Guys, these are my sisters, Daisy, Violet and Lily." Misty stated. Daisy was the one with yellow hair, Violet was the one with blue hair, and Lily had pink hair.
"It's nice to meet you all!" Daisy greeted cheerfully.
"Likewise!" Jack responded with a smile.
"Hey, not to be nosey, but what we're you talking about earlier?" Diego asked.
"See its like this, we are the Sensational Sisters and-" Lily explained before Julia interrupted her.
"The Sensational Sisters are a group of performers that use Water type pokemon! They're performances are AMAZING! EEEEEEEK!"
"Julia, shush! You're embarrassing yourself!" Renée whispered to her sister, she was blushing a bit. Renée wouldn't admit it, but she a was a big fan of them too.
"Hehe, it's always nice to meet a fan!" Violet chimed. "But we needed Misty to help out with our next show. We need four people and Misty has helped us for years."
"And I can't really do it because I promised to battle you all..." Misty added.
"Oh, I could do it!" Julia cheered.
"We're sorry, but it takes a professional to perform with us..." Daisy frowned. Julia was upset about this, but she understood.
"Well when does the show start?" Diego asked.
"In about 2 hours, and the show lasts about 2 hours and by the time we finish the show were usually too tired to really do anything else. Being a Sensational Sister takes a lot out of you." Misty explained.
"We can help out if you need us too. Is that OK with you guys?" Jack asked his friends.
"Yeah, I guess I could wait until tomorrow to battle. No big deal." Diego answered, Julia and Renée eagerly accepted as well.
"Great! Come with us and we'll get everything set up!" Daisy instructed.
A few blocks away, the Squadron of TDS members was planning.
"Alright, today's the day. We need to make sure this plan goes on without any problems." Sirius announced. "Here's the plan, we'll split up into 2 groups, the first group will prepare the getaway back to Celadon. The second group will head towards Cerulean Gym, they're going to have a show in there in a few hours. Distract everyone inside and take all of the pokemon you can find in the aquarium inside. Any questions?"
Nobody asked anything.
"Good, let's make this good. Alright, my group, let's get ready to raid the Gym..."
Two hours had passed. The citizens of Cerulean City (try saying that 5 times fast) entered the Gym for the show. Julia and Renée were very excited to help the Sisters, though Renée was much more secretive with her excitement. The show was beginning, the Sensation Sisters were putting on a beautiful display. Misty was performing with her Staryu and Starmie. Daisy was with her Shellder and Cloyster, Violet had a Poliwag and Poliwhirl, and Lily had a Goldeen and Seaking. Everybody was in awe at the performance. The group of Team Dark Star members stood a block away from the gym, one of them had the detonator for the smoke bombs they set up around the gym. Ryan was with this group...
"Are you ready?" Sirius questioned. The grunt holding the detonator nodded.
"Blow it."
The grunt pressed the detonator, setting off the smoke bombs. From inside the Gym, people were screaming in panic as they couldn't see what was going on.
"What's going on?!" Jack asked. The TDS grunts entered the gym and quickly entered the back area, nobody saw any of it as their sight was obscured by the smoke. Thankfully, an Officer Jenny was standing by, she lead everyone outside of the gym. Officer Jenny reentered the Gym, the group and the Sensational Sisters regrouped with her.
"We need to get rid of this smoke!" Misty stated.
"Do any of you have any Flying type pokemon?" Jenny asked.
"We do!" Jack and Diego answered.
"Great, send them out. Their wings can clear the smoke!" Jenny stated, Jack and Diego sent out their Spearow and Zubat respectively. Officer Jenny sent out a Pidgeot.
"Use Whirlwind!" The three of them ordered, the earned Flying type pokemon flapped their wings with enough power to clear up the smoke with ease.
"Who could have done this?" Lily questioned.
"Something like this is too complex for your ordinary criminal." Jack said. "This was planned, and whoever did it is most likely still in the building!" The sisters suddenly gasped.
"The aquarium!" The screamed.
"We have a few dozen species of Water pokemon in our aquarium. They're probably trying to steal them!" Misty exclaimed.
"Then there's no time to lose!" Officer Jenny stated, everyone split up into 4 groups to try and catch the thieves. Diego paired up with Misty and Officer Jenny, Renée was with Lily, Jack wanted to pair up with Julia but she had already paired up with Violet, leaving him with Daisy.
Diego, Misty and Jenny were searching the East portion of the building and quickly caught 4 TDS grunts who were making their way to the aquarium.
"Stop in the name of the law!' Officer Jenny called out to them. The grunts did not back down and had their pokeballs ready. "I'll take 2 of them, you both can take the other two." Diego and Misty sent out their Zubat and Starmie and began their battle.
Meanwhile, Renée and Lily searched the Northern section, they had also found TDS grunts, though there were only two of them.
"Are you ready to battle Lily?" Renée asked.
"S-Sorry I don't battle!" Lily argued.
"Really?!" Renée questioned.
"I've never won a battle in my life!" Lily stated, Renée sighed at this.
"I guess I can handle this myself..." Renée said, sending out her Growlithe and Flaaffy. "Are you two ready?" She asked her pokemon, they eagerly nodded in response.
Julia and Violet searched the Western section, though they hadn't run into anybody yet. They were still heading to the aquarium, but they decided to talk along the way.
"So you only have Misty battle trainers?" Julia asked.
"Yes... When Misty went to go travel the world with her friend, we were left to watch over the Gym. But we weren't good at battling, eventually we just decided to give trainers badges. Then when Misty came back she took over the gym." Violet explained.
"And you were too busy with your shows to train..." Julia said, Violet nodded.
"By the way, I noticed that by lot with black hair seemed a bit nervous around you. I think he might like you!" Violet teased.
"Who Jack? He's my best friend!" Julia stated with a smile. Violet was about to say something else when the two ran into more TDS members. Julia got her pokeballs ready, she knew she would have to battle them alone since Violet didn't battle much...
Jack and Daisy had easily made it to the aquarium without any issues. Though when they entered the aquarium room, they found about 7 TDS grunts, two of them were Sirius and Ryan but since Ryan was wearing his mask, Jack didn't know who he was.
"Who are you guys?!" Daisy asked them.
"Don't ask any questions little lady." Sirius said. "Just stay out of our way!"
The 5 TDS grunts approached Jack, they sent out their pokemon which consisted of Solrocks, Lunatones, Staryus, Scraggys, and Baltoys. The only grunt who didn't have any of the aforementioned pokemon was Ryan, though he didn't send out any of his pokemon yet.
Jack had his 4 pokemon ready to fight back. Just like her sisters, Daisy didn't battle either, this time however, she didn't battle because she was weak. She didn't battle because she was scared of what Team Dark Star would do...
Misty, Jenny and Diego were finishing their battle against the grunts.
"Zubat, use Wing Attack!" Diego ordered, Zubat struck down the grunt's Scraggy, knocking it out.
"Damn, that's my last pokemon."
"We're wasting time!" One grunt stated, she took a Smoke Ball from her pocket and set it off. Unlike the Smoke Bombs that were set up earlier, this smoke cleared up quickly but the grunts were long gone by the time it cleared up.
"Ugh, we lost them!' Misty whined.
"There's no time to lose, we need to hurry!" Officer Jenny said, the group ran down the hall and met up with Violet and Julia.
"We're almost there!" Violet called out. The group continued until they were just outside of the aquarium room's door. Misty was about to open it.
"Locked?!" Misty shrieked. Officer Jenny thought for a bit.
"Is there another way out of that room?" She asked.
"No, it's only this door." Violet answered.
"Then they don't have any other way out!" Officer Jenny stated.
The group heard footsteps coming from a nearby hall, they turned and saw some TDS grunts running towards them. Renée and Lily approached the grunts from behind.
"Aha! Nowhere to run now!" Officer Jenny stated. One of the grunts summoned a Haunter from his pokeball. The Haunter was in no condition to fight, but they weren't planning on fighting. The grunts joined hands, the one who owned the Haunter grabbed Haunter's hand and phased through the wall!
"How on Earth?!" Renée shouted.
"Argh, we can't just stand around here while they kidnap our pokemon! Go Togekiss!" Misty exclaimed, she sent out her Togekiss. Julia scanned it with her pokedex.
'Togekiss, the Jubilee pokemon: It shares many blessings with people who respect one another's rights and avoids needless strife.'
"Togekiss, use Moonblast to blow the door down!" Misty ordered.
Meanwhile, Jack had managed to beat all 5 of the grunts at once. Sirius was his next opponent.
"Hmph, believe it or not kid, we've been watching you. My boss thinks you could be a great addition to our group. What do you say?"
"Not a chance!" Jack hissed.
"You'll change your mind soon Jack!" Sirius replied. Ryan thought of speaking up, but something in his gut told him that it wouldn't be a good idea.
"You ready Ivysaur?" Jack asked, Ivysaur nodded in approval.
"I guess we're doing this the hard way. Alright Sandslash, come on!"
"Ivysaur, use Razor Leaf!"
"Sandslash, Rock Slide!" Sirius ordered, Sandslash began to glow a desert brown color, it created Rocks out of thin air and launched them towards Ivysaur, the rocks collided with the Razor Leaves, but they didn't stop each other. Both sides ended up getting hurt.
"Sandslash, use Crush Claw." Sandslash leaped towards Ivysaur with surprising speed, it's claws bared for attack.
"Ivysaur, Sleep Powder!" Ivysaur shot out the blue powder, putting Sandslash to sleep.
"Now, Razor Leaf!" Ivysaur began shooting sharp leaves at Sandslash, since Sandslash was asleep and had no way to defend itself, the Razor Leaves knocked it out easily.
"Heh, not bad kid, but it ain't over yet!" Sirius stated. Suddenly the door was blasted open by a pink orb of energy. The others ran into the room.
"Halt, you are all under arrest. Put your pokeballs down and your hands in the air!" Officer Jenny ordered.
"Sorry Jenny, but we have no time to play!" One of the grunts taunted. Sirius pressed a button that blew open the ceiling from right above everyone's heads. From above, the second group of TDS grunts had the getaway ship ready. The ship sent down a ladder that the other grunts quickly latched on to and started climbing, the last to climb up was Ryan, he looked at the group, he wasn't sure if he wanted to fight them, they were still his friends...
The Sensational Sisters went to see how many pokemon were stolen, thankfully all of the pokemon had either camouflaged themselves or swam too quickly for them to capture.
"They're all here! Safe and sound!' Daisy said with relief, a Luvdisc swam over to her. It had a small crown on it.
"Well hello there Caserin! It's a relief to know you're still safe!" Daisy said to it.
"Why did they run away?" Julia asked.
"Because they knew there was no other way out of their situation." Officer Jenny answered.
"They must have only expected Officer Jenny and Misty to fight back. I guess we took them by surprise." Jack added.
"What are we going to do about all of the damage they caused?" Lily asked
"Can our insurance handle it?" Misty asked.
"Hopefully..." Daisy answered.
Later, everyone had recuperated at the Pokemon Center.
"Hey Misty, about our battle. I'm guessing we're going to have to postpone our battle for a few days?" Diego asked.
"Well, from what I can tell, only thus room took damage, so the battlefield is still intact. We can battle tomorrow!" Misty said with a confident smile.
"Hold on Misty." Daisy said.
"What is it?"
"After what happened today, my and the girls have been talking. We want to battle too!"
"A-are you sure? You haven't battled in years!" Misty argued.
"I know, but if something like this ever happens again we want to be able to defend ourselves. We can't have you protecting us all the time. We know you're strong Misty, much stronger than us, but we want to show that were strong too!" Daisy responded, Misty smiled at her.
"Alright, how about you guys. Do you want to battle my sisters?" Misty asked.
"Sure, it could be a really interesting battle!" Jack answered.
"Battling one of the Sensational Sisters! EEEEEEEK!" Julia squealed, Renée shushed her, though Renée struggled to hold back her own excitement.
"So it's settled then!" Violet chimed.
That night, Sirius had been chewed out for failing his job in Cerulean. He wasn't punished too severely, Sirius went to his bedroom in the TDS building, he looked at one of the pictures he had. The picture was of two young men wearing army uniforms. Their names were at the bottom of the picture.
'Derek Khamsin and Jason Surge: Army Lieutenants 1987. The duo of sand and shock!'
Sirius sighed and then went to bed.
And that's another chapter taken care of! Also I just noticed that this fanfic has a lot of characters. These characters are mostly minor, the Sensational Sisters won't really play a major role aside from the gym battles. Also, can you guess where the pokedex entries are coming from? One last thing I should mention, HAPPY BELATED HALLOWEEN!
