Greens eyes shot open from the force of sunlight peeking through his eye lids. Unable to stand he moved his head around to find the others. They were in a small enclosed room with one window; bright morning sunlight filled the room reflecting brightly off the white tiled floor. Red and Yellow were beside him, also tied up. Yellows head rested in Reds lap as he slept with his head down. Everyone's mouths were covered with duct tape except Crystal and Yellow.

'Green!' Crystal gasped happily 'Everyone's fine, you've been here with us for six hours now. I'm assuming its early morning' she stated in a matter-of-fact sort of way. 'I can't untie myself, can you?' she asked, He shook his head as he fiddled with the rope.

'MMMHHMMMHH!' Gold muffled through duct tape at Crystal. 'oh shut up!' She snapped. 'I don't see how we're going to get out of here' Crystal sighed

'This base and the grunts... They're a lot different to other team rocket members I've seen. They're organised and have not said a word to us. So we have no idea what's going on, The only insight we got was when a Ditto changed into Yellow and left this room, then when I was put in the middle of the hallway as bait for Gold' She finished.

'MMHMM!' Gold muffled again, trying to shuffle his way over to her. 'Fine hold still!' Crystal barked. She leaned in towards Gold as if she were going to kiss him. His eyes widened and slowly copied her. Crystal bit the corner of duct tape and slowly pulled away, freeing Gold's mouth. They stared at each other, their faces centimetres apart for what felt like minutes.

Crystals face soon turned from a light blush to the colour of a Nidoking 'YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE IDIOT! Did you really think I was being held captive, at team rockets base IN THE MIDDLE OF A DOORWAY?! How could you not see that it was a trap! Even I thought it wasn't going to work but it did because you are just THAT STUPID!' She screamed with every bit of anger she had in her.

Red and Yellow quickly shot up and Green fell backwards from the shock of her yelling. Gold looked at Crystal with hurt in his eyes; she starred down at her lap regretting what she had just said. It was never her intention to upset him, just to make him see clearly.

'I couldn't save you from being kidnapped in my own house... Maybe I felt like that could of been my last chance' he said quietly. She starred at the golden eyed boy with regret before finally turning away.

'Umm... Yellow pull the tape of Red' Crystal ordered quietly.

Yellow complied quickly, freeing Red's mouth. 'Umm I'd do the same for you Green… But it's a bit, umm... Awkward' Yellow quietly finished. Green just rolled his eyes

'Whatever super serious girl, next time I won't bother' Gold snapped in a nasty tone. 'I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting out of here!' He stated whilst trying to push himself up against the window.

'We need to find out what these guys are up to first' Red pointed out.

'Well I'm not gonna sit around here waiting to find out! Gold protested. I'm gonna- WAAH!' he was cut off by the window behind shattering. A familiar figure burst into the room holding onto a Wigglytuffs feet, kicking Gold in the head before landing gracefully surrounded by her fellow Dex holders.

'I thought you guys could use a hand' Blue stated cheerfully 'Or a foot' Red quietly noted.

'Blue! Crystal said almost in awe. I thought you were - 'kidnapped? Blue interrupted. Not a chance! I overheard grunts confirming they had Yellow and were waiting for another to capture you…the capturer. Oh how ironic' Blue teased. Crystal blushed

'Anyways, we have to leave right now. This was a trap, and it clearly worked. They have big plans and they only tried to capture us so they could… get rid of us.' her voice trailed off.

'So, is this the part where you untie us and we get away?' Red asked

'Oh of course!' Blue said with excitement as she began releasing them from their bindings, they all rose to their feet ready to escape through the window. Blue sat down next to Green and starred at him 'Tell me you're sorry' she demanded in a serious tone whilst ripping the tape from his mouth. 'Ow! I'm sorry!' Green moaned. 'Good' she smiled

'Okay there's not enough room to release any flying pokemon in this room, we'll each take turns on wigglytuff getting to the ground outside' Blue ordered

Everyone agreed and took turns floating to the ground with the help of Wigglytuff. 'Gold wake up!' Crystal ordered shaking his shoulders. 'I think you've knocked him out cold Blue' Yellow said over Crystals shoulder. 'Uuuh, we don't have time for this! Blue whined. Crystal try and wake him up, I'll send wigglytuff up for you guys last.'

'Gold…' Crystal moaned trying to wake him up. Everyone had successfully made it outside, Wigglytuff returned through the window. 'Oh I know! Wigglytuff, use wake-up slap on Gold!' She commanded. Without hesitation the pink Pokémon slapped Gold five times, on the fifth hit Gold slowly opened his eyes. 'Come on Gold we have to go!' Crystal barked pulling him to his feet. Gold pulled himself together, looking around the room felt like déjà vu. Behind Crystal he saw a team rocket member walking through the door. 'Not this time!' He shouted throwing Crystal through the window with Wigglytuff catching her on the way out. 'Gold!' Crystal screamed back at the window.
