Kotone sighed in utter relief when she finally succeeded her way into the Radio Tower. She fixed her black hat and uniform. Her eyes surveyed around the building – nothing but a guarding grunt and a scared employee.
"W-Welcome back t-to the tower…There are no dis-disturbance…so do not fear…" cowered the lady. Her hands were shaking behind the counter that Kotone felt sorry. But due to cover her disguise, she scoffed and walked towards the grunt.
The grunt eyed Kotone as she came closer. A small smirk was bestowed on his face. Well hello, cutie! He flashed a flirtatious smile at the newcomer. "I'm guessing you're the new recruit. I'm Jake. It's an extreme pleasure to have such a young, attractive lady to join the team." Jake shook Kotone's hand – firmly. The female trainer was quite uncomfortable at his tight grasp.
"Nice to meet you too…" she muttered while trying to pull herself away from him. Jerk! Let me go!
Before Jake could make a move on her, he heard a menacing growl. Jake looked up. Behind his new recruit was huge, malicious flaming creature. In a flash, Jake pulled his hand away and stared at Typhlosion in horror. "W-What is that?"
Kotone grinned and crossed her arms. "He is my pokemon, Typhlosion. Do anything stupid and he will turn you into ashes." Typhlosion snarled – flashing his sharp fangs at the grunt. The starter smirked devilishly when Jake froze at the sight of him. He loves seeing his victims cower in fear.
Jake gulped and a growled silently. This woman has some seriously badass pokemon! He looked at the smirking grunt. Great, another person that's gonna get a promotion fast. Jake slowly sighed and grinned at Kotone. "I have to say, I'm impressed. Well, you can start your shift at the top floor. Executive Archer might have some work for you." He moved away, giving Kotone access to the stairs. The disguised trainer smiled arrogantly and moved her feet.
Only to froze in horror when she recognized a voice.
"Team Rocket! Enough is enough! You guys are causing enough shit and it's pissing me off!" Silver barged into the tower and pushed Kotone away – unaware that it was her. The redhead pulled Jake's shirt collar. "I'm warning you. Stop now or you're all dead Magikarps…" he growled ferociously – his eyes gleamed with rage.
Jake shook in fear and stared at the newcomer. "Y-You! New girl! S-Stop him!" he stammered the words slowly. Silver cocked his head to the new grunt. He was stunned to death. Unwarily, he pushed Jake away and bolted to the suspicious girl.
Kotone hid her face with her black hat. Crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap!
Silver couldn't believe his eyes. No…it couldn't be! The female grunt had brown hair and is in pigtails. Kotone tried to run away but her rival quickly gripped her wrist. Y-You're not…
Jake – mistaking their tensed moment as Silver's fear, yelled, "That's right! Show him who's boss with your Typhlosion!"
Both the teenagers froze when they heard his words. Kotone cursed a thousand curses (and made up new ones) in her head – her cover was blown. While Silver felt like his whole world had just fallen apart. The male grunt's words stabbed Silver in the ears. He looked behind – a growling Typhlosion was focusing his gaze on him – threatening him to release his beloved trainer. The sight slapped Silver back into reality. He gawked his eyes at the hidden grunt. "Ko…KOTONE!"
Kotone growled angrily. Oh damn it!
She felt her hand being pulled closer. Kotone kept her head down but soon her chin was forcefully being held up – straight into Silver's glaring eyes. His body shook ferociously as he saw the person in front of him. He was right – it is Kotone.
"Kotone…" he muttered shakingly – angry.
But Kotone didn't give in. She kept a poker face and glared at Silver. "Let me go," she snarled. The grunt was still in front of them – confused. This means she still has a shot in infiltrating the tower. With one huge breath of courage, she focused her gaze on her raging rival. "I don't know you and I'm sure as hell don't know who this 'Kotone' girl is."
Her voice was like venom to Silver's ears – burning every inch of his skin to the bone. Silver growled and inched his face closer to hers. Kotone gulped quietly. "What the fuck are you doing…" he snarled – baring his white teeth like a violent Mightyena. Silver locked her shoulders, preventing her from moving at all. Kotone pursed her lips – now she was afraid. First rule she learnt ever since she'd met Silver : Never make Silver mad.
Jake scratched his head in confusion. The two were still tensed up but instead of seeing fear in the redhead, he saw fear in his newcomer. "Hey, let go of our comrade!' he shouted as Jake slowly moved closer to the two.
Comrade. Comrade. Comrade.
Silver had had enough. With one free hand, he released his Feraligatr. "Feraligatr! Get rid of that bastard!" he scowled without averting his gaze to the shaken brunette. As his water starter launched an attack at Jake, Silver carried Kotone and placed her body on his shoulder – leaving the female trainer speechless.
"Sil-Silver! Let me go!" She yelled as she tried to wriggle herself free. It was no use. Unwarily, Silver smirked. Oh, now you know me. Kotone frantically searched for her Typhlosion – who was both attacking Feraligatr and trying to get to her. "Ty Ty! Help!"
Silver quickly moved his feet and entered inside a janitor's closet. He closed and locked the door and threw Kotone on the wall.
"Ow!" Kotone yelped. Before she could regain her senses and move, Kotone felt both her hands being pinned above her head. Her body was pressed against the wall. Panic, she opened her eyes – Silver was glaring very closely to her.
And their body was very close for any human being.
His throat growled silently as his eyes fixed on hers. The minute he saw Kotone in that hideous uniform, Silver couldn't think straight. The way Kotone glared at him when he faced her, Silver could feel his heart violently being ripped into tiny shreds. The thought of Kotone being a part of an organization he despised, he felt like killing himself.
He focused his gaze on her uniform. The blooding R symbol on her outfit burned his eyes. Silver clenched his teeth firmly. His grip on her hands tightening as well. He could feel and hear her nervous breath. Unconsciously, an uncertain want trickled in his body – making him losing his sanity.
Kotone heartbeat began to race hysterically. She began to panic. "Silv-"
"You think you're strong?" Silver muttered sternly. He looked up and pierced Kotone's eyes like a predator aiming for its prey. "You think you're all that once you're in this despicable uniform – once you're in that fucked up organization!" He yelled like a mad man. Her lips trembled in fright – speechless.
Silver chuckled acidly as he face the ground. "You're strong enough even without that dumbass group," he whispered vilely. Before Kotone could say anything, he snapped up. "So remove this hideous outfit!"
And just like that, he ripped Kotone's uniform off – revealing a red, fire-pattern bra. Kotone was shocked to the max. Silver was stripping her!
Silver was out of his mind. His rage and hormones was blinding him. His eyes widen at her garment – causing his heart and skin to shock him in many ways. Her scent drove Silver insane. He pushed Kotone on the wall and glared at her. "Off. That. Uniform. Now." He growled.
Kotone gulped. The heat in her face was burning up like steam. Okay, this dude is crazy! Quick thinking, her knee jabbed Silver crotch – causing Silver to yell in pain and released his grip. He fell on his knees.
Kotone took the shredded uniform and covered her chest. "I am not a Rocket grunt, you idiot! I was just disguising myself to get in the tower!" she shouted. Silver looked up in disbelief. It was as if reality had snapped back into him. His mouth opened in shock.
W-What happened? Silver could see Kotone topless. His mind soon flashed what he just did. Silver stared at Kotone – cheeks flared red. "Oh cra-"
His words went to a halt as the door behind him was burned into dust – revealing a very, very angry Typhlosion. The fire starter's eyes gawked in utter shock when he saw his trainer was shirtless. His eyes pierced at the redhead – angrier and infuriated than ever.
You…little…BASTARD! "Typhaaaarghh!" Typhlosion roared maleficently and grabbed Silver's jacket with his fangs – throwing him far away out of the janitor's closet. Silver banged on the wall – hard.
"Ahh!" he yelled in pain. The hard concrete smacked his body like a ragged doll. His ears caught a vicious growl. Silver opened his right eye – and then both in stricken fear as Typhlosion stood in front of him on his hind legs – his mouth opened; revealing a crimson, burning flame. Typhlosion was about to burn his whole body alive.
Silver was numb in horror. He wanted to call his Feraligatr but he couldn't let the words out. Oh Arceus, I'm gonna die!
"Typhlosion!"
Both the fire starter and redhead looked at the direction of the voice. Kotone was still wrapping herself in the closet. "We have no time! Come here and protect me while I get dressed!"
Much to Silver's luck, her pokemon halted his fiery action and turned around. Typhlosion growled ferociously at Silver and went inside the closet. He leaned against the wall – pain stabbing him in the back by the impact. Slowly, Silver stood up. "Ow..." he growled silently.
Feraligatr walked towards his trainer. He whimpered in concern. Silver glared at his starter and looked around the building. The annoying grunt was gone. But that wasn't the problem now.
INTRUDER ALERT. INTRUDER ALERT.
Well damn. Silver scowled at the alarm. His eyes clicked as soon as Kotone walked out of the closet door. She was back in her normal outfit. Kotone frowned at Silver – her blush never leaving her cheeks.
Typhlosion stood closely behind her – his resent at the redheaded trainer was now thicker than blood. Both the trainers froze. Both blushed at the embarrassing incident.
"You know," Kotone hissed – her eyes avoiding him. "This should be an easy mission if someone didn't blow my cover for me!"
Silver averted his gazes away from her – his fist clenched tightly. He wanted to apologize but his ego was preventing him from doing such. "W-well…you can beat them even without that uniform!" he stammered.
Kotone raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Did you just…compliment me?"
He clenched his fist tighter. His mind was flashing every single image from the janitor's closet. His face was red as his hair. "Just…don't lose!" And before Kotone could open her mouth, he ran away.
Kotone bit her lip and scoffed annoyingly. She could still feel his touch against her skin – and it flushed Kotone even more. She shook her head harshly. "That…perverted…bastard…" she muttered scornfully. Her eyes focused on her huge beast. "Come on boy, let's destroy Team Rocket!"
Typhlosion roared tenaciously and both of them ran upstairs – anticipating for a fight. Kotone couldn't stop grumbling as her mind kept reminding her of the indecent memory.
He is seriously crossing the line!
Silver ran as fast as he can – shaking away the humiliating memory. Never in his life would he consider doing that sort of stunt to anybody – especially to his rival.
His eyes saw the red fabric softly covering Kotone's chest. He remembered his fingers brushing roughly on her soft skin. Kotone's feared expression suddenly ignited Silver's lust like crazy. "DAMN IT!" he shouted madly. Silver fell on his knees and messed up his red hair – trying to remove the indecent images away.
"Feraghh…"
Silver looked up. Feraligatr was staring at him. The redhead growled and focused on the ground. Everything around him was disturbing his life. But nothing affects him more than the pigtailed girl herself.
W-What… He gritted his teeth. What is happening to me… His heartbeat was beating like a race car engine. Silver shut his eyes – only to see a smiling, flirtatious Kotone. He quickly snapped his eyes opened – flabbergasted.
Ever since he met that woman, his life was turned upside down. Everything he wanted wasn't according to plan. Silver dug the soil with his nails. His eyes averted its attention to the red, wrapping material on his hand. Silver growled at his trickling body. He was mad at himself. He was mad at her. He was mad at everything.
But it still didn't stop the fact that his body was reacting unevenly.
Stupid…Stupid…Stupid! He jumped up and glared at Feraligatr. "Let's…Let's find Kotone!" he stammered. Silver scowled as he felt a pleasuring tingle in his skin when he said her name for the first time.
