OK starting chapter 9! I got really good feedback on the last chapter, hopefully I can follow up with this one, just have to plan this out!

Kotone's POV:

I woke up... I started to look at my surroundings, I was in a 4 corner room with small tiled floors, a metal wall, a heavy metal door, and a vent on the ceiling too high to reach. My memories were racing back to me, I had been kidnapped. My last memory was the grunts hurting Silver, I hoped he was OK. I couldn't stand the thought of him being here, I had a feeling that's all they'd do to him though. No matter how much Giovanni probably hated Silver, he was still his son. I noticed that I wasn't dead yet, was this supposed to be good or bad? About an hour passed when someone came in. My whole body started quivering when I saw it was Giovanni, I quickly got to my feet to look less vulnerable.

"Well it seems my grunts weren't lying when they said they really found you," He said with a smirk.

"What do you want with me?" I said annoyed.

"Isn't it obvious?" He questioned me, "With you out of the way it'll be easier to build my empire back up."

"That's not true," I said bravely, "What about Red? He defeated you too way before I did. And Silver he wants to defeat you too-"

Before I could finish my sentence, with one quick movement of his I fell to the ground grabbing my cheek where he had struck me. I could see the pure rage in his eyes on how I mentioned his son.

"Nothing EVER gives you the right to talk about Silver!" he said with anger in his voice.

"But," I said, "he's one of my good friends." It feels weird saying that since he probably can't stand me.

"Doesn't matter anyway," Giovanni said like the moment before never happened, "It's not like you'll ever get out of here. You'll probably just wither away from starvation. Quite pitiful really." and with that he left. So that's how he planned to kill me. Watch my die slowly, it took every ounce of my strength not to break down crying. My only hope was Silver knew where I was, this was the only thing that comforted me when I was in there, but the tears still streamed down my face.

Silver's POV:

I sat in the room where Professor Oak and some other teachers were talking. I had to tell the school she was kidnapped. If I just ran off without telling anyone we'd both be expelled.

"We can't just let this go for the night!" Officer Jenny, the security guard here said, "This is a student! We need to figure out where team rocket has taken her!"

"Agreed," professor Oak said, "We just need to figure out who to send."

"I'll go," I said standing up.

"Are you crazy kid?" Chuck, another one of the teachers here said, "You won't last two seconds with team rocket!"

"I can do it," I argued, "I know where all the team rocket bases are, and Kotones my partner."

"I just don't see it," Pierce, another teacher began, "We need someone more experienced to go."

"Oh let him go," a voice said from behind, I quickly turned to see lance.

"You're OK with him going alone?" Chuck said surprised.

"Of course," Lance responded, "I think he's the best one to go." Why was he sticking up for me.

"Fine," Professor Oak said with a sigh, "Silver you can go. Do you need any help?" How the hell does Lance get away with that?

"No, I'll be fine by my own," With that I got up from my chair and ran to my dorm. Changed into my regular outfit and grabbed my pokeballs. As I got outside I remembered there was still something I forgot. I silently walked to Kotone's dorm and opened the door. Dawn wasn't there so it was quieter. I went to where Kotone kept her pokeballs. I grabbed the one containing Dragonair. Crobat wasn't big enough to fly us both out of there and Dragonair was close to evolving. I would need Kotone to use him though.

I quickly called out Crobat and got on. I probably knew where my father would keep her. He mentioned something about building a base near Olivine somewhere in the ocean when I was little. It had be done being built by now. I had to say he had it well disguised pretty well but it was in the middle of the ocean so it wasn't hard to miss, for me at least. I had Crobat fly near a window where it wasn't so heavily guarded and broke through. No one seemed to noticed so I returned my Pokemon and started quietly down the hall not trying to hide any attention. It wasn't long before I saw four grunts near a vent.

"So you guys seriously were responsible for the newest captive?"

"mfaeofandla hee hee hee" another one said.

" Yeah you said it Kenny, too bad you had to have tooth surgery though," another one said.

"Well it's a way better job then what Kyle could do," the fat one said.

"Shutup fatass," the Kyle grunt.

"Hey!" The fat one said, "Don't call me fat you stupid ginger!" At this point Kyle started beating on the fat one. This was my chance to sneak into the vent. I quickly climbed up making my way through. I knew Kotone was in here, they talked about a new captive and the name Kenny was familiar. I kept making my way through the vents. It seemed like I was crazy looking for her like this, but there were no cameras in the vents and they led to every room. I kept going and going and then I heard a noise, was someone crying? Kotone! I quickly crawled and the sound grew greater and greater. Finally I came upon a opening, thank goodness I found her. She had on the same dress and was curled up to a ball. I swear to god if they hurt her-

No I had to focus on getting out of here first. I quickly took out a screwdriver and started unscrewing the vent. Finally I got it unscrewed and pulled it off. I jumped through the opening to where Kotone was, she immediately looked up and stopped crying.

"Silver!" She said with relief standing up, "How did you find me?"

"I remembered my father mentioning a base when I was little-"

I was quickly distracted by the bruise on her cheek, it looked new.

"Kotone," I said facing her, "did they hurt you?" she looked hesitant at first.

"Yes," she finally said. I quickly embraced her not saying anything for awhile. I couldn't even stand the thought of them laying a finger on her.

"I'm sorry," I finally muttered. That was all I could say.

"It's not your fault," she said, "let's just focus on getting out of here." I simply nodded. While I was looking up at the vent my father bounded in the room, I could see Kotone shudder at the sight of him.

"What the hell is going on here-"

I headbutted him in pure rage and slammed him into the metal wall, he was dazed for a second which I took to my advantage.

"Let's go!" I said grabbing Kotone's hand and making a dash for it. We ran down the hall looking for a way out. I saw team rocket grunts coming from each direction, my father must have called security. I noticed we were near the window I broke into earlier. I looked at Kotone who seemed to get the message. We jumped through the window without much thought. It was a long fall.

I don't think either of us knew how shallow the water was, we weren't sure if we would die or not. But, this could be my last chance and I wasn't going to let it pass me.

"Kotone," I said loud enough so she could hear me, "I love you." and with that we plummeted into the water.

Kotone's POV:

Did I hear right? Did he really say he loved me? Me? It had to be there's no way I could misinterpret that! Oh god I felt so lighthearted at that moment but the cold water pulled me back into reality. It was so quiet underwater, I could actually think. Silver was right next to me, he started moving closer. The next thing he did make my heart skip a beat, he kissed me. I was in pure shock at first but then started to close my eyes. I then put my arms around his shoulders, and he wrapped his arms around my waste. It felt like that moment could last forever, but we had to break away at some point. Silver tossed me a pokeball and I opened it. Dragonair was in it, thank goodness.

We all reached for the surface gasping for air. Team rocket grunts were drastically sending all there Pokemon at us. We had to get out of here quickly. Dragonair wasn't paying attention, what was he doing? Dragonair was soon engulfed in a beautiful light and when he appeared, out he was no longer a Dragonair he was a Dragonite. I knew he was close to evolving. We quickly hopped on Dragonite's back, ignoring the grunts. I didn't know Dragonite was taking us, I just knew it was anywhere but here. I knew we had been through a lot but I couldn't help but smiling.

Yay! This did turn out well! I really don't know what's gonna be in the next chapter, but I guess were reaching the end of our story soon!
