Author's Notes:
A Mary Sue is a character that is either good at everything or tragically misunderstood to the point of being unrelatable. The term was first coined for a character named Mary Sue in a Star Trek fan fic. It has since became extremely popular and usually used to refer to fan fic characters, (although it could be used to refer to an actual fictional character, such as Superman). Common characteristics of a Mary Sue include being good at just about everything, having a skill that your character is better at than everyone else without much training, gaining great amounts of admiration or jealousy from other characters, being unrealistically attractive or "cool", or basically just being a vision of what the author imagines themselves as or would like to be.
Jet could be considered a Mary Sue because of his prodigal skill for training Pokémon. He's not based off of me, though. The Pokémon he trains and the strategies he uses are ones that I myself would use in his place. His look and skill for Pokémon training I based off an eighteen year old version of Red. The rest of his personality just kind of made itself up. I don't like the name Red, though, so I got his name from the leader of the freedom fighters in Avatar the Last Airbender.
Brian's look was based off of an older version of Cheren, and Amy I imagine looks something like Kairi from Kingdom Hearts. Their personalities just fleshed themselves out as well. Natalie was an original creation, from her looks to her personality. I'm not sure why I added this in the author's notes, but it's probably interesting to know, anyway.
P.S.
Bianca is gay.
Dragon Rage
Snorlax sent a Hyper Beam at Gyarados, who immediately moved out of the way of the attack. Dragonite flew into the air after Staraptor, who attempted to escape the dragon's wrath. Magmar charged at Charmeleon, who in turn charged at his foe. Both fire Pokémon collided, and tried to gain dominance over each other by grappling.
Jet yelled to Hydra, "When Snorlax is recharging, hit him with your Dragon Rage!"
Hydra didn't hear Jet, and instead used Water Pulse during Snorlax's recharge phase. She hit twice, and then went in for a Crunch. Snorlax must have fallen asleep to heal, however, because he let out a powerful Snore that knocked everyone back several feet; and stopped Hydra's attack in its tracks.
Magmar charged at Thorn again. Although the Charmeleon was much faster than his opponent; the ladder was clearly at a much higher level. Thorn was put on the defensive for the first time in his life. Meanwhile, up above, Dragonite was doing battle with several flying type Pokémon at once. Knowing there was no help for either of his Pokémon, Jet yelled to Thorn, "Knock him back with Dragon Rage!"
Thorn opened his maw to attack, but the seconds hesitation in his defense allowed Magmar the opportunity he needed to land a heavy Mega Punch that knocked Jet's Charmeleon back about two meters. Magmar then charged at Thorn to use Take Down, but Thorn dodged the attack at the last second and was once again put on the defensive. Both Pokémon were suddenly knocked back as Snorlax let out another powerful Snore.
Hydra couldn't get in close enough for a physical attack on Snorlax because of his Snore attack, and Snorlax would simply heal itself with Rest anytime it was attacked with a projectile. Meanwhile Thorn couldn't switch to an offensive stance because his opponent was too strong. Things were not looking good for Jet's Pokémon.

Gary carried Amy through the doors of the ballroom, panting. "You have to get on my back!" he told his little sister, "We're only half way to the back of the ship!"
Amy nodded and prepared herself to get on Gary's back. "Amy! Gary! There you guys are! Where's Jet?"
Brian ran up, sweating and panting profusely. Gary immediately yelled angrily, "How dare you fucking talk to my sister after what you said to her tonight!"
Brian looked both alarmed and ashamed. He opened his mouth but Amy spoke first, "God damn it, none of that matters now! We have to get to the life boats on the back of the ship! C'mon, help me up!"
Deciding it best to argue after they were safe, Gary helped his sister onto his back and told Brian, "Let's go!"
They started for the doors to the next corridor, following the crowd to the poop deck. Amy asked Brian, "You haven't seen Jet at all?"
Brian nervously said, "Not since before the robbery!"
Amy groaned. Gary panted, "Shit, I hope he's ok! I haven't seen him since before the robbery either!"
"Jet can handle himself!" said Brian, doubtfully, "If there is anyone I know who can get themselves out of a sticky situation, it's Jet. He'll be fine! He has to be."
A large group of people suddenly ran from around the corner, screaming. They headed in the same direction Gary, Brian and Amy were headed. Just what they were running from became apparent when a man dressed in a ruffled black suit came from around the corner with a Houndoom.
The trio stopped dead. Brian got out a Pokeball and sent out Wartortle while simultaneously saying, "Don't you see the water on the floor? The ship is sinking! Can't you give it a rest?"
In response, the Rocket Grunt yelled, "Use Thunder Fang!"
"Jump and use Slam, Wartortle!"
The little water Pokémon jumped the electric attack and slammed Houndoom with his tail. Houndoom shook off Wartortle's attack, and went in for another Thunder Fang. Wartortle was put on the defensive, and Brian yelled, "Take Amy and go! Me and Wartortle will handle this!"
Gary didn't need telling twice. He immediately moved forward to get his little sister out of harm's way. Brian smiled as they left and said, "Let's slow this fucker down! Use Bubble Beam!"

Jet ran past Lance to go around Snorlax's range of fire. The beasts Snore has been knocking everyone about like ragdolls, and the battle with Magmar was not gaining any headway. Jet had to give his Gyarados instructions, but she was on the opposite side of the deck, past Snorlax.
Jet ran around the battlefield, (which was now slanted at a thirty degree angle towards the middle of the ship), weaving around various battles as he did so. At this point it began to rain heavily, and Jet was beginning to feel as though he were at war.
There was a loud BANG as a blast of light flew right past Jet. He didn't stop, however, but kept on running. I have to get to Hydra! A flying Golbat crashed to the ground next to Jet, courtesy of the raging dragon flying above him. The battlefield lit up as a Hyperbeam was shot off above it. Jet ducked his head in panic, but kept running.
A Poliwrath was knocked in Jet's direction. He slid on the ground to avoid the fallen Pokémon's trajectory, but otherwise kept moving. Just a little further! Jet was then knocked off his feet by another thunderous Snore. He felt himself slide a little towards Snorlax, (Who was now resting in the middle of the battle field), due to the slant of the deck. Jet got back up, Can't stop now!
XXX
"Finish him, Wartortle! Use Bubblebeam!"
Houndoom yelped as he was hit by more foam from his foe, (try saying that last bit ten times fast!). The hell hound was out for the count. Brian then told his Wartortle, "Now take out his trainer with Takedown!"
The Rocket attempted to run, but with no avail. Wartortle took him down and was recalled by Brian, who was now nearly waste deep in water. "Fuck! I got to get out of here before I end up drowning!" Brian moved forward, God I hope My friends are ok! I can't believe the way I acted tonight.
XXX
"Hydra! There you are!" yelled Jet, breathlessly over the pouring rain, "Come here!"
The Gyarados lowered her head to heed her trainer's instructions, "I'm going to need you to take out that Magmar real quick! Then you and Thorn are going to take on the Snorlax together! We don't have much time, though."
Jet climbed on Hydra's back and said, "Let's go, girl!"
Hydra roared and shot around Snorlax in almost a tenth the time it took Jet to run around the deck. They were now in front of Magmar and Thorn, who were still duking it out. Both Pokémon had large bruises everywhere and both looked exhausted. Jet told Hydra, "Tell Thorn to move out the way and then attack with Water Pulse!"
Hydra roared at Thorn, who immediately backed off. She then shot Magmar off the ship with a powerful Water Pulse. Jet got off of Hydra's back and yelled, "Alright! Both of you, attack Snorlax with Dragon Rage when I say go! One, two three, GO!"
They shot Snorlax with a combined Dragon Rage so powerful, it not only woke the sleeping Pokémon, but it lifted it and knocked it back several meters. "Repeat fire!"
Jet's Pokémon immediately fired again. Snorlax was knocked back again and roared. Jet yelled, "Again!" This time, it wasn't just Hydra and Thorn that attacked. Dragonite landed and added his two cents in the mix. Snorlax was hit with a combined Dragon Rage so powerful, it knocked him off the ship. Jet laughed and let out a cry of triumph, but stopped immediately when he saw what was coming next.
Everyone fighting Team Rocket were now either defeated, or had evacuated except for Jet and Lance. So they and their Pokémon were now surrounded by no less than a dozen enemies, (Pokémon alone. Not including their trainers.) The battlefield was now at a forty five degree angle, which would make the match problematic.
"You up for this, kid?" asked Lance. Jet nodded and said, "Yeah, My Pokémon can still fight." One of the Rockets yelled, "Kill them! Kill them all!"
"DON'T YOU ASSWIPES KNOW THAT THE FUCKING SHIP IS SINKING?"

Gary held his little sister as they sat in a life boat with about twelve others. They watched the ship's progress as the back became more and more submerged. There was no way to tell if their friends were ok, but they could see people still battling on the ship. Although Amy couldn't make out exactly which Pokémon were battling, She could see explosions and bright lights, as well as hear big bangs and loud roars.
Gary pointed to the sky as a Fearow flew towards the boats carrying someone on its back. That someone was soon revealed to be Brian. He dismounted his bird Pokémon on Amy and Gary's life boat and recalled the Pokémon into its Pokeball. "Did you guys hear from Jet, yet?"
Amy shook her head, tearfully. Gary gritted his teeth and said, "There is like twenty life boats out here; I'm sure he's on one of them."
Brian sat down and nodded, "I hope you're right, I really do."

Both Hydra and Dragonite were blasting Pokémon back with their Dragon Rage. Meanwhile, Thorn was riding a Venomoth up above them. In a style reminiscent of Pugsly in the Viridian Forest, Thorn ripped the wings off his opponents back and jumped off before his opponent crashed to the ground. Jet could see his Charmeleon was clearly exhausted, and the rain couldn't have been helping his case. As a response, Jet recalled Thorn and placed his ultraball back on his belt.
"Alright, Hydra! Way to toss your opponent!"
Dragonite was taking on most of the enemies singlehandedly, but Jet's Gyarados was definitely holding her own. She took out two opponents already, and was now facing another three at the same time. Dragonite roared and shot his enemies with another powerful Hyper Beam. Jet covered his ears and closed his eyes as the powerful blast tore through opponents like a linebacker would a group of preteens.
When the attack was over, Jet watched in horror as all three of Hydra's opponents attacked with simultaneous projectile attacks. The mighty sea serpent was knocked off of the ship, and into the depths below. "Hydra! Noooo!" Jet yelled, almost tossing himself off of the rail after her.
There was a loud, BANG, and the Ship collapsed from the middle. The battlefield suddenly started to move into a vertical position. Jet grabbed onto the rail and held on for dear life. Some of the Pokémon fell into the water below, while most dug their claws into the deck to prevent themselves from falling.
Lance was above Jet, holding onto the rail and yelling instructions to his Dragonite, which had engaged his opponents in a vertical battle. Dragonite's claws were dug into the deck, but his Dragon Rage was just as deadly as ever. As rain poured from overhead, Jet called Hydra's name again and again.
Below him, there was a mighty roar. Six Gyarados suddenly rose from the ocean, and began to attack the Pokémon that Dragonite knocked into their midst. Jet felt his heart beat faster and faster, and silently wondered just how many levels of fear would he go through tonight. The raging Gyarados ripped and tour through their enemies, while letting out earsplitting roars as they did so.
Lance suddenly jumped on his now airborne Pokémon's back. He yelled to Jet, "Jump on! We're getting out of here!"
"Not without Hydra!" Jet yelled, "I need to find her!"
Lance grabbed Jet's arm and, with surprising strength, pulled him up onto Dragonite's back, "It's too dangerous here!"
Below, more and more Gyarados joined the fray. They all roared and feasted on the dead bodies below. Jet yelled his Pokémon's name again, "HYDRA! Where are you?"
One of the Gyarados looked up. Jet knew instantly that was his Hydra. Dragonite started to fly away, and Hydra swam after him. Jet yelled, "Stop! I need to get my Gyarados!"
Lance yelled, "It's too dangerous, I said! Those Gyarados will tear you apart if you go down there!"
Hydra roared after her trainer, and Jet did something both brave and very stupid; he jumped off of Dragonite's back and into the sea. Lance yelled Jet's name. As soon as his body made contact with the water, he thought he's died. He kept his body straight and had fell feet first, so the landing didn't hurt that much. It was the cold.
The water felt like cold incarnate. His body immediately went numb, and Jet had no idea which way to swim to get to the surface. Something big suddenly got below him and pushed him to the surface of the water. Jet inhaled when his head was above water and hugged Hydra, who once again saved his life.
"T-t-t-t-t-t-t-than-k-k-k-k y-y-y-you g-g-g-g-gi-r-r-rl!"
He hugged his Pokémon tightly. He then checked his belt and was relieved when he saw all his pokeballs were still there. Hydra let out a low growl, and then began to go around the other Gyarados, and away from the ship. Jet held on for dear life, and choked regularly as the water kept rising up into his face. He could think of nothing but the cold, and had never before noticed just how warm his Gyarados really was. As he shivered and clutched Hydra, a strange thought occurred to him that he should sleep. He suddenly felt a wave of tiredness, and embraced the blackness as it overtook him.

Amy covered her mouth as she watched the group of Gyarados destroy what was left of the ship. Gary shivered and said, "W-we should h-h-have never came on this damn ship!"
Brian nodded. They watched as the Gyarados stopped breaking the ship and went below the surface. Gary hugged his sister to stay warm. One of the men in the boat said, "Well, at least those monsters are gone."
There was a loud CRACK as one of the Gyarados tore through one of the life boats with a mighty roar. Everyone screamed as the beasts kin joined the party. A woman in the life boat Amy, Brian and Gary were in sent out her Croconaw and told it, "Get this boat out of here, quick!"
The Pokémon pushed the boat from the back away from danger, and was soon helped by Wartortle, Poliwag, as well as some of the other's water Pokémon. Behind them, a Dragonite came out of nowhere and sent a blast at one of the Gyarados. The Dragonite was soon helped as a bunch of trainers called forth their Pokémon to battle this new threat.
Amy started crying. Gary started shaking. Brian moaned as he thought to himself, Please, let Jet be safe! They watched from a distance as everyone fought for their lives. The battle seemed to last a lifetime. A lifetime in which people were killed, boats were destroyed, and it seemed the end would never come.
Sirens sounded in the distance, and three large motorboats pulled up to the fray. The boats had sirens and were outfitted with fifty cal machine guns. On the side of each boat was the symbol for the Kanto coast guard. The boats fired at the Gyarados.
People below screamed as blood spilled into the water. Amy buried her face into Gary's shoulder. Helicopters joined the boats soon after and more bullets were fired at the Gyarados. The gunfire lasted about two minutes, and then there was silence.
Author's Notes:
This chapter was a little chaotic. I planned to make the part with the Coast Guard saving the day a little longer, but I'm too tired.
-Jet's Charmeleon/Lvl.32
-Jet's Gyarados/Lvl.30
-Lance's Dragonite/Lvl.73
Next chapter should be posted soon. It may be a little confusing, what happened to Jet and all. He passed out while riding Hydra. The full aftermath should be in the next chapter. I was surprised this one ended up being so damn short when I wrote it out.
