Pokemon: Hollow Meaning
Chapter 3: Bitten by the Ocelot
Author's note: I don't own anything, I am the internet equivalent of a hobo, blah blah blah blah blah. Anyways, this chapter is going to focus more on Snake and his mission than with Ash. Of course other plot lines will have small appearances too… Enjoy! Oh, yeah, and please review! I want to know if someone is actually reading this and that I'm not entertaining an audience of none. I would also like story writing advice. Thank you!

Genesis stood on top of the Silph Building in Saffron City, looking out across the horizon.
"Angeal", he said. "I need your advice". The wind blew and standing behind and facing away from Genesis was the spirit of Angeal, a tall, broad man with long brown hair (darker than Genesis's) and, like Genesis, a wing coming out of his shoulder. However, this wing was white.
"Hello, my old friend", said Angeal.
Genesis closed his eyes and said "Good, you are here. I am requesting advice".
"What kind of advice do you need?", Angeal asked.
"I fear that I may have started a war in this world", Genesis replied. Angeal closed his eyes and shook his head. "But I did it so that I might be able to bring down one of the most evil spirits in the universe. I'm wondering, Angeal. Is it worth it? Is what I did worth it?".
Angeal turned to face Genesis and Genesis did the same. "Genesis, you must learn to fight for yourself. You have probably put many lives in danger. Probably not the most honorable choice", Angeal said. He turned away. "But I don't think you have a choice but go through with it. Just remember, a man without honor…"
"Is no better than a monster, yes, Angeal, I know", Genesis interrupted.
Angeal grinned. "Remember that", he said, "and you shouldn't have that much of a problem". Then after that last word, he vanished.

Snake was walking through the Viridian Forest, keeping his eyes open and his hands on his tranquilizer gun. He saw a member of Team Rocket walking around the forest with a Mightyena, a black and white dog Pokemon, by his side. Snake hid behind a tree and called Officer Jenny on the radio.
"I see an enemy guard surveying the area", he said. "He has a Mightyena with him, and by the looks of it, I'd say it's about level twenty".
"Pokemon obey their masters. Try not to hurt any Pokemon. Take care of their masters and they should leave you alone. They are forced to work as slaves, and that is one of the reasons we must try to stop Team Rocket", said Officer Jenny.
"Got it", said Snake. He looked back at the Team Rocket grunt. He noticed he was holding an handgun, so he would have to take care of him quickly and surely. He brought up his tranquilizer gun, aimed it for the minion's head, and fired. The grunt fell to the ground with a thud. The Mightyena sniffed him and then ran away.
Snake approached the unconscious man with his gun at the ready just in case. He got down and took the handgun from the man. It had a full clip. He checked in his pockets and found a bunch of extra ammunition. "Perfect", Snake said as he pocketed all of it.
Snake carried on into the forest. He saw a building that was definitely the Team Rocket HQ. He jumped off of the small cliff that was in front of him to get on the same level as the building. He looked around. There were a bunch of fences surrounding the building, but the gate doors seemed to be open. The building itself was just a rectangular prism with a giant red R over the front. Strangely enough, there wasn't any security around the building. Snake proceeded towards the building. He passed through the gate that led into the area surrounding the building when the gate suddenly closed.
"Prepare for trouble", said a female voice.
"Hmm?", said Snake, surprised.
"Make it double", said a different voice, this one male.
"To protect the world from devastation", said the first voice.
"To unite all people within our nation", said the second.
A woman with long red hair stepped out from behind a pile of crates to the left, holding an assault rifle, and said, "Jessie".
Then a man with short purple hair stepped out from behind a pile of crates to the right, holding another assault rifle, and said, "James".
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light", said Jessie.
"Surrender now, or… wait, what is my next line", asked James.
"What? You don't know what our next line is? How long have we been saying this?" asked Jessie.
"Well, we haven't really said it in a while. You kept making us say different things", said James.
A small white cat with a golden oval jewel on his forehead jumped off of the building and said, "Yeah, Jessie, I've completely forgotten where my cue is".
"Shut up Meowth, it doesn't matter. We have to stop this crook from getting to Commander Ocelot", said Jessie.
"Ocelot?" said Snake. That name sounded strangely familiar.
"Hmm… so you've heard of him", said James.
"No matter, this is where your journey ends", said Jesse. She raised her assault rifle and started firing. Snake did a somersault behind one of the piles of crates and hid behind it.
"Hello there", said a voice from above him. He looked up and saw Meowth staring back at him. Meowth started scratching at Snake's face and Snake yelled in pain. He took out his tranquilizer gun and shot Meowth in the face. Meowth moaned and fell to the ground. Then he heard footsteps coming from the other side of the pile. Whoever was approaching him would be coming from his right, so Snake walked around the left side of the pile. When he made it around to the side where his assailant was coming from he saw James step to the side where Snake had tranquilized Meowth. Snake drew his handgun and walked towards where James was.
"Meowth, wake up. This is no time to be sleeping", he heard James say. Snake snuck up behind James and shot him in the leg. James cried out in agony. Realizing that the loud sounds would attract attention, he tranquilized him. That shut him up.
"James, what's wrong?" Snake heard Jessie say. Snake ran out from behind the pile of boxes with his handgun out and pointed it at Jessie. "You", she said. "What did you do to James!" She started firing off her gun like crazy and Snake had to pay close attention so as not to be shot. He kept dodging until Jessie had to reload. She started to run behind the boxes to reload, but she wasn't fast enough. Snake shot her in the back and she fell without a sound. He knew that with all of the sound that had been made, guards would surely come out, so he found an empty cardboard box and hid in it. The guards did come out and survey the area. Snake looked out of a hole in the box and saw that they carried away Jessie, James, and Meowth into the building and then they all went inside. He got out of the box and entered the building.
He walked down a hallway and into a reception room. There was a woman in the Team Rocket uniform sitting behind a desk at the other side of the room. Snake took out his tranquilizer gun and shot her in the head. Then he ran over to her and checked her pockets. He found an elevator card. He held onto it. He walked down a hallway next to the desk and found an elevator at the end of it. He ran to it and pressed the up button. As soon as he did, Team Rocket guards came from both sides of the hallway. Once they reached him one took away his guns and another restrained him. They walked him into the elevator and hit the button for the top floor. As soon as they reached their destination and the door opened, they pushed Snake out onto the floor. One of them walked over to Ocelot, who was sitting at his desk, and put Snake's guns on his desk.
"Hello, Snake", said Ocelot. "Long time no see".

Gary stood in an alley, trying to catch his breath. It's a good thing that I managed to escape the Hollow, thought Gary. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a card with a boy with bright orange hair in a black robe with a big sword. Otherwise I may not have been able to deliver this to my master. On the top of the card it said Ichigo Kurosaki.
To be continued.
