Yesterday, disaster. News got over from Mount Moon that Pewter City had fallen before Team Rocket. What Cerulean hadn't been warned of, however, was the fact that they were laid to ruin by Groudon, the creator of all landmasses. Having a little more time to set up defences, Misty and her sisters ensured that all roads and bridges were securely blocked, so Team Rocket couldn't try surprising them from the land. The only possible way they could hope to attack is from the ocean. So, there they were. The people of Cerulean. The Merpeople of the Land, as they were nicknamed. Everyone from around the town, along with their Pokémon, were gathered on the beach, expecting the unwanted arrival at any moment.
The Sun was starting to set over the horizon, tinging the sky in a warm amber-gold glow. As the Sun was halfway down the horizon line, though… guess who came rising into view. Team Rocket. Riding on the backs of Gyarados, Lapras, Carracosta and many other water type Pokémon. Then, riding through the centre of the organisation came Giovanni, bearing down on the city on top of a Wailord's head. He sneered, mockingly, at Misty, who snarled back.
"Get lost!" She screamed, with an ear-splitting fury. Giovanni, however, didn't bat an eyelid. He just smiled at her, evilly, and chuckled.
"Why?" He asked her, calmly, as if there was no invasion about to happen. This only made Misty angrier. She snatched her pokéballs from her belt, and hurled them to the water's edge. Out shot her Pokémon; Gyarados, Starmie, Politoed, Azumarill, Milotic and female Jellicent. When they caught sight of Team Rocket, they all growled, and prepared for battle.
Just like last time, Giovanni pulled out a Dark Ball. He threw the ball into the air, and the black beam that emanated released the one Pokémon one would expect Misty would never fear. But, once she saw the evil glint in the Pokémon's eyes, her blood froze in fear. The evil Rocket boss cackled in inevitable victory. "Make a splash, Kyogre!" He ordered. Taking his master's orders, Kyogre gave a guttural roar, forcing giant tornadoes of water to tower from the ocean surface, advancing menacingly on the seaside city.
"Gyarados, Fire Blast! Milotic, Solarbeam!" Misty called to her friends. The seaserpent-like Pokémon unleashed their respective attacks at the water towers, dissipating them. Enraged at the interruption, Kyogre roared at the annoyances, and commanded thick and heavy storm clouds to line the skies. The sunlight of the evening was blotted out in seconds, reducing the sky's golden tone with a shade of midnight black so dark, one couldn't even see their own nose in front of their own face. The clouds in the sky swirled and vortexed, crackling with lightning. With another roar, Kyogre unleashed a Thunder attack on the meddling sea serpents that destroyed its water tornadoes. The electric blasts tore through Milotic and Gyarados' bodies, causing them to convulse violently in pain. The two Pokémon, soon, succumbed to the jolts of agony that now was ripping at their bodies, and they collapsed, exhausted from the violent bolts of lightning. Misty's face paled as she saw how easily Kyogre swatted her two most powerful battlers.
Misty recalled her fallen serpents, not knowing how on PokÉarth she was going to beat this supped up Legendary.
"Jellicent, use energy ball! Azumarill, Grass Knot!" She ordered. Maybe by using type advantage moves, she can hold Kyogre off. Her Jellicent started to rapidly fire green balls of plant energy at the sea God Pokémon, while Azumarill started to glow in an emerald green hue, commanding nearby seaweed to start wrapping itself around Kyogre's bulky body. The large whale thrashed and fought against the seaweed, only to have it tighten around his bulk. Suddenly, it calmed… but only to charge up some ice crystals from the ocean waves. Soon, a blizzard swirled around the seaweed, freezing it solid. Kyogre had no problems smashing its way out of the leafy restraints and staring down the Merpeople of the Land.
Having enough of playing games, Kyogre reared its massive body out of the salty waters, accumulating a tidal wave big enough to swallow Cerulean City whole. The tsunami towered above everything, as it advanced with Kyogre riding on top like a Surfer of the Apocalypse. All the people of Cerulean City grabbed hold of a water Pokémon, and held on for dear life, as they all felt the wall of water smash over the top of them, flooding the city. Everyone found their way to the surface of the flood waters, which now buried the city under a good ten feet of water. Misty was plucked from the water by a pair of Pelipper, and was flown to Giovanni, who was now stood atop Kyogre's head, grinning victoriously. When Misty was in the arms of two Rocket Grunts, and properly restrained at his feet he crouched down to her ear.
"Love for a dead man is a mermaid's greatest weakness." He snarled, mockingly into her ear. Misty didn't respond. She thought better of rising to this bully. She didn't want to give him the satisfaction.
Giovanni turned to the, now Pokélantic, city, and addressed the people bobbing in the waters. "Your city now belongs to us! Any attempts to fight back will be severely disposed of. And you'll be…" He snarled in a smirk, thinking about how amusing his final sentence shall be." …sleeping with the Feebas." He smirked, sounding like a mafia boss as he spoke. Cerulean was underwater… and the thumb of Giovanni and his Rockets.
