After a summer of nothing to think about and annoying writer's block, here's the next chapter. A huge forewarning for this chapter and the next stories: characters of the day?... well, make it characters of this fic. If you didn't catch that, you will, trust me.
After Hunter J lead Dawn and Paul onto her airship, she leads them directly to the cockpit. When they arrive, a bunch of her henchman (or minions, depending on your evil terminology) are running about, struggling to figure out who's who and what's what. J leads herself towards her throne like chair, where she immediately goes to business.
"Mossman!" she shouts.
One of the henchman, the one named Mossman and in turn the most recurring one, goes to the table directly in front of J and in the middle of the front table by the front window.
"Yes sir," he replies.
"Get our client on screen," she orders.
Dawn holds on to Paul's arm, scared of being in the middle of the lion's den, while Paul just simply looks on at J's humble abode in utter amazement.
"How could someone so evil have something this magnificent," is his thought.
After Mossman spends a few minutes typing, J looks over to her left, revealing the caged Meowth taking a nice little nap. J knocks on the top of the cage a few times and the feline in turn wakes up.
"Huh, what happened," he asks.
"Did you enjoy your nap," J asks.
"Huh, oh yeah, I'm locked in this cage, how wonderful," he says in the only way he can.
Paul and Dawn glance over at Meowth, showing no emotion. Meowth does the same thing to them, not really showing anything.
"Great, twerps, just what I needed in my time of peril," Meowth says.
Dawn simply rolls her eyes, with Paul in deep thought as to what exactly the plan, if there is one, of J's is.
After Mossman finishes typing, a shadow appears on screen.
"Hello Miss J," it says.
"Cut the crap Mundo, I know it's you," J sparks immediately.
The figure goes out of the shadow, revealing the skull mask that Mundo wears. Dawn goes wide-eyed, Paul squintshis eyes as well as clutches his fist, while Meowth just sits back and yawns.
"Why, how did you know," Mundo asks.
"Please, I take careful steps before I just simply give my client what he wants," J replies.
Dawn is still shocked at this, while Paul is just relieved that he was right.
"Paul, Dawn, nice to see you," Mundo says.
"Mundo, but, how," Dawn asks.
He snorts a bit to retain the laughter before going off on a snicker.
"Please, you'd have to have the size of that idiot cat's brain to not know it was me," Mundo says.
"Hey, I'm smarter then the average Meowth," Meowth retorts.
Paul differences his glare from Meowth, to J, and to Mundo, not deciding who's the truly evil one here.
"Paul, you seem clustered, allow me to help you. It's me, I'm the evil one, I did it all, everything you've faced so far is because of me," Mundo says.
With an act of anger, Paul clutches another fist and slams it into the side of J's throne like chair.
"Mundo, tell me, what exactly is your plan here," J asks.
After doing a signature evil chuckle, Mundo folds his hands and places his chin on them.
"I'm not going to stop you from stopping me, but know this, from this very moment, I will have everybody after you. From Team Rocket, to Team Magma; from Team Aqua, to minor villains; from paid good guys, to born rivals, ev-er-ry-bo-dy."
Everybody in the room (J, Meowth, Paul, and Dawn) squint their eyes in confusion to what Mundo is saying. J in particular is fixed on, not Mundo, but his Lucario standing in the back to the right of his shoulder. She is able to hear something, some noise, that is stating "Mundo really is-", but it cuts off when Lucario realizes this, thus thinks of an entirely new topic. She is visibly frustrated off this.
"Good luck, and let the game, begin," Mundo states before cutting the transmission.
After Mundo's dramatic statement, the whole room is silent.
"Hm, how worse can it get," Meowth asks.
Just as he finishes, the airship starts to rattle and shake, most likely due to an explosion.
"What's that," Dawn asks loudly.
"Mossman, what's going on," J shouts.
"There's been a breach sir," he replies.
Another explosion and rattling happens, making Paul fall into the throne and Dawn onto him. The two share a simple blush in response. Meowth is sent flying over where he was, but J is quick to catch him.
Eventually, everything stops and it seems over.
"Is it over," Meowth asks, looking as if he's about to throw up.
The door to the room suddenly slides open and a henchman is seen.
"Sir, they're...here," he says before falling forward.
Seen standing behind him are two figures with giant red R's on them. One of them has blue-gray hair and is tall and skinny while the other one has blond hair and is tall and large, the powerhouse.
"Hello ladies and gentlemen, allow us to introduce ourselves," the tall one says.
The two look at each other and smirk evilly before throwing two poke balls out into the open. The two that come out are a Muk (powerhouse's) and a Honchkrow (other one's).
"Great, just, great," Paul says.
"So Attila, do you wish to go first or should I," the powerhouse asks.
"After you Hun," Attila answers with a smirk.
Attila and Hun then glance at the group before sharing an evil smirk. Dawn and Paul throw out a poke ball while J just leads Mossman and the rest of the ship. She sets Meowth down. After noticing that everybody is distracted with their own business, he reveals a claw and starts to tinker with the lock. Out of Dawn's poke ball comes Buneary, while Paul's got his Honchkrow. Upon coming out, it completely ignores Paul, flying away. So instead, he returns it and calls upon his Magmortar, who actually is ready to fight.
Attila and Hun, instead of doing anything, simply look at each other and smirk once more before Hun uses his fingers, whistling into them.
"Distractions, can't live with them, can't live without them," Attila says.
The two suddenly return their Pokemon before escaping back where they came. Dawn and Paul look behind them out the giant front window when they hear a helicopter like blade spinning loudly, and getting louder. Eventually, a helicopter pulls up, revealing five individual people, three people they've already seen.
"Mossman," J says.
"Yes sir," he says back.
"Track Mundo's transmission, and then track any other video links that he's made," she says.
Mossman nods at her before turning back around and starting on his new work. By this time, Meowth had unlocked the cage, but has chosen to wait a bit before continuing. Three of the people are Tabitha, Annie, and Oakley. The other two are females, but have the same uniform as Cyrus does, albeit a bit different due to their lower rank. Tabitha begins to move his mouth, but the entire cockpit is unable to hear him. Oakley suddenly starts to shout in his ear, eventually with him typing some stuff in and having his face appear on the screen.
"Idiot," one of the Galactic people said.
"Seriously, were your parents cavemen too," Oakley asks rhetorically.
Tabitha growls while looking back at them before glancing at the cockpit.
"We may not know who you are-"
"Dawn, Paul, and J," all the females in the cockpit shout.
"But we're here to take over your jet and capture every one of you," he says. "Now, do you want to go quietly, or do we have to have to force you out."
The entire cockpit didn't say a word, just stare at the scream, obviously giving off a vibe of 'you're an idiot'. Tabitha simply sighs while looking down.
"Hey, we're new here, I'm Jupiter, she's Mars, look, Cyrus is a busy man and he doesn't have all year. So why don't you just give up," one of the females says.
Paul looks at the cockpit, but stops at J, who is entirely focused on the screen. Eventually, after an awkward silence among everybody, Mossman clicks the enter key.
"Got 'em," he says.
"Shoot them down," J says.
CLIFFHANGER
OK, not my best work, and probably not even close to being done, but I haven't been getting much plot development and how I should get to the big dramatic end I have planned. Should that happen, and should I get into the mood, you can bet more will come, but until then, you may have to wait until another season is over. Sorry.
