Chapter-6: Dark Dawn Part-2
"Volcarona, use Quiver Dance!" Koal called out to the Sun Pokémon.
("Right away, sir.") Volcarona began by starting to dance in place.
Everyone watched as small orbs the size of small butterflies circle around Volcarona. Soon, the orbs were soon absorbed into Volcarona as it let out a roar.
"I don't get it, what does Quiver Dance do?" Dawn wondered.
"Looks to me it increased its Special Attack and its Special Defense," Jimmy replied, "but we can still take it on! Tyhlosion, Quick Attack!"
Typhlosion quickly charged towards Volcarona. As it gains speed, a white outline surrounds Typhlosion as it got near its target.
("Here I come, bug boy!") Typhlosion growled as it charged full speed ahead.
Koal actually smiled, "Volcarona, get behind the boy."
As soon as Typhlosion got within an inch from Volcarona, the Sun Pokémon disappeared in an instant, leaving Typhlosion and Jimmy in shock.
"How in the world...?" Jimmy wondered in confusion.
Even Typhlosion was confused as well. Suddenly, Volcarona was behind the Johto native.
"Jimmy, Volcarona is right behind you!" Ash yelled.
"Hurricane, Volcarona!" Koal quickly called out.
By the time Jimmy turned around, Volcarona had already circled Jimmy rapidly in a fierce wind that lifted the trainer in the sky. Ash and his friends watched as Koal's Pokémon began to tear the boy to shreds.
"STOP IT! YOU'RE KILLING HIM!" Ash yelled.
Koal just looked at him, "Your point?"
Ash glared at the Team Rocket Elite. Koal was ruthless. Ash looked at Tia Harribel. She too could be ruthless as well. But, Ash had to wonder, do they have Special Abilities as well?
Koal signaled for Volcarona to stop its attack. Once the Hurricane stopped, Jimmy soon fell back down to Earth. Jimmy's clothes were torn, his body covered in cuts. Typhlosion ran towards its trainer as Volcarona returned to its trainer's side.
"Jimmy..." Ash said calmly as he stared at the boy's unconscious body.
"Poor boy," Koal said, "he never stood a chance."
Ash and his friends glared at the Elites.
Koal looked at his watch suddenly, before focusing his attention back to Ash and his friends. He looked at his partner, Harribel and she nodded.
"Now that rehearsal is over," Koal said, "time for the real battle to...BEGIN!" Koal raised his left hand, "Attack!"
The Eighteen Grunts let out a yell as they all began heading towards Snowpoint City.
Ash and his friends watched as the Grunts headed towards the city. Ash and Zoey looked at each other and nodded. The two were about to head to the city when suddenly Koal and Harribel appeared in front of them.
"Sorry you two, you are coming with us," Harribel said coldly.
Team Rocket HQ somewhere near Fuchsia City, Kanto Region
Meanwhile, back at the Rocket HQ, five of the remaining six Team Rocket Elites watched the scene unfold in Snowpoint City. They watched as the Grunts released centipede-like Pokémon, with bright magenta coloration interspersed with purple rings spaced evenly along their segmented upper bodies. Their horns, extending from their heads in a similar way to antennae, are long and slightly twisted. Purple banding decorates their horns, as well as their similarly-shaped dual tails. Each of them has four pairs of purple-tipped forelegs, capable of injecting poison. Their legs further down their bodies are longer, with curved black patterns and black tipping on the extremities of the limb.
"Using Scolipede, are they?" One of the Elites asked.
"Not the kind of choice I would go for, but we'll see how this goes," a second Elite said.
"They will steamroll over all who oppose us!" The Third Elite said.
"For the Glory of Team Rocket!" they all chanted.
Suddenly, a fifth member came into the room. He had black hair that goes down to the back of his neck. His blue eyes showed worry as he came to see his comrades.
"Morpheus! Have you seen Ryuga?" the black haired Elite asked.
The sliver haired Elite shook his head, "No, I haven't, Daisuke. He's most likely wandering around HQ. You know how he is."
"Yes, but..." Daisuke paused, "I haven't seen Ruyga since Koal and Tia Harribel left for Sinnoh."
Morpheus and the other Elites looked dumbfounded.
"Where in the world could he have run off to?" Morpheus wondered.
A moment later, a Rocket Grunt came into the room. He saluted to the Elites before he spoke.
"Sirs, a few hours ago, a black dragon was seen leaving HQ!"
"Hydreigon! That's Ryuga's Pokémon!" the first Elite said in shock.
"Where was it headed? Tell us you fool!" Morpheus demanded.
"Ryuga said something about Sinnoh, but that's all he said," the Rocket Grunt said nervously.
Morpheus looked up at the ceiling, before he set his sights on the television showing the Scolipede attacking the Snowpoint citizens.
A young teen boy flying on his Hydreigon was heading towards Sinnoh.
The boy has tanned skin with a yellow dragon headwear on his head. He also has white hair with a red streak on it and he wears his coat as a cape. His eyes are normally ruthless and merciless and usually have an evil sneer on his face.
The boy sneered as he stared at the skyline. Soon, wherever he was going, there was bound to be disaster.
Snowpoint City
People all over Snowpoint City were running for their lives as the Rocket Grunts' Scolipede were terrorizing their city. Numerous houses were damaged by the Scolipede's Steamroller Attack. Trainers visiting the city used their Pokémon to keep the Scolipede Army at bay. However, most of them don't know where the Scolipede were from. Luckily, some of the Trainers found out that the Scolipede were a Bug-Type as well as a Poison-Type. With this bit of information, the Trainers were able to push the Scolipede back.
However, just as the tide was turning in their favor, a strange coffin suddenly appeared in front of the Scolipede Army. The Trainers were surprised to see a strange coffin appear before them. Suddenly, the 'coffin' stood up as it revealed its true form. It was a blue and yellow sarcophagus with red, menacing eyes, with four ebony hands that appear to be shadows. A simply designed face is prominent on the "forehead" of the Pokémon, which is similar to the mask that it's pre-evolution (Yamask) carries. White, sharp fangs create a taunting smile and flamboyant patterns veil the coffin. The coffin is said to be made of gold.
"What is that Pokémon?" One Trainer asked.
Suddenly, a voice answered for him, "Ki shi shi shi! Cofagrigus, Shadow Ball!"
Cofagrigus puts its four hands together and forms a black ball of energy and then shoots at the stunned Trainers.
The Grunts chanted, "Show no mercy, Gekko Moria!"
With Ash and Zoey
Ash and Zoey were not faring so well with Koal and Harribel. Ash's Pikachu and Zoey's Leafeon were struggling to get up. Both were dealing with Koal's Volcarona and Harribel's Garbodor.
Garbodor is a Pokémon that have the appearance of a pile of trash that spilled out of a large, torn open garbage bag. It has a round, lumpy-shaped body that is tan colored with blue and pink lumps on it. Its head has the appearance of the tied end of a garbage bag that has been ripped open and trails down like a cape. It has two appendages that look like clumps of garbage coming from their head, which resemble pigtails or ears. Garbodor have two rather long arms made of garbage that are held together with piping and fingers also made up of piping material. It has one finger on its left hand, and three on the other. It also has flat, dumpy feet.
Koal sighed in disappointment, "Is this it?"
Ash and Zoey growled at the two Elites.
"I think it is," Harribel responds, "how can Ivan lose to these Trainers? I think this is all they have. I say we end this now!"
Koal nodded, "Volcarona, Fiery Dance!"
Harribel called, "Garbodor, Gunk Shot!"
Koal's Volcarona was soon covered in flames as it dances towards Ash's Pikachu. Its wings flapping, causing the embers to fly everywhere.
Harribel's Garbodor took a deep breath and released a huge blast of poison at Zoey's Leafeon.
"Pikachu, you got to dodge it!" Ash pleaded to his buddy.
"Leafeon, you got to get up!" Zoey called out.
The two Pokémon struggle to get up before Volcarona and Garbodor's attacks connect. Just as the Elite's two Pokémon came close to their targets, a blue streak came from behind them to the front, blocking their targets. Volcarona and Garbodor stopped their attacks and stared at the Pokémon before them.
The dark blue Pokémon growled at the Elites as it locked on Volcarona and Garbodor.
Ash and Zoey were confused.
"Ash, isn't that Garchomp?" Zoey asked.
Ash took noticed at the Mach Pokémon and nodded to Zoey.
"It is Garchomp! That means..." Ash said as he turned around to see a very familiar.
"It looks like I came just in time."
Ash and Zoey turned around to see the Sinnoh League Champion, Cynthia, holding Jimmy's unconscious body. Brock and Dawn were right behind her as the Champion looked at the lovebirds before turning her attention to the Team Rocket Elites.
"I never have thought that Team Rocket would execute their plan so soon," Cynthia said.
"Oh? You know about our plan to get our revenge on these Trainers?" Koal asked.
"By attacking people using your Pokémon just to get to them?"
"That's right," Harribel replied, "this city will fall to us. And those two...will fall to us."
Cynthia smiled slightly, "I'm afraid that your plan has already failed."
Koal glared at Cynthia, "What did you say?"
Ash looked confused, "Cynthia? What do you mean?"
Cynthia turned to Ash and smiled, "Right now, along with me, the Sinnoh Gym Leaders are here to put an end to this battle."
