The Thief, The Friend, The Victim, and The Savior
Chapter 7
Author's Notes: Yay! New chapter! Not much to say about this one. Or anything for that matter. Not quite as fast as #6 was in getting up, but c'mon, I'm not a writing god! Oh! I almost forgot! I do have something to say! This is something fun and interesting that my readers can do. To participate, just leave a review with a the name of one of your favorite Pokemon, and I'll be sure to write one of them into the story.
EXAMPLE: "wow, I liked the characters and the premise, but I can't believe how slow you update :( Also, can you put a Prinplup into the story? He's my favorite Pokemon!!"
The only rule is that there can be no legendary Pokemon, or Pokemon that I have already put into the story. So, no Machop, no Sableye, no Kabutops, etc. Also, I may be planning to put some certain Pokemon into the story at a later date, and if I already have planned for them to appear I won't be putting them in. I'll let you know in my author's notes if I can't put a Pokemon in, so you don't have to wait around forever wondering when I'm going to add your Pokemon
"I have some of my men covering the exits." Scarr had grabbed tightly onto Regalia's wrist, and was practically dragging her down a hallway. A Sableye clutching a pistol rounded the corner at the end of the hall and immediately took cover. Upon spotting Scarr, he spoke in a strange, pulsating sort of voice.
"You don't want to go that way, sir! The cops have set up a blockade, and are ready to use tear gas to run through us!" With those words, he peeked around the corner to look at the hall he had just run down, and quickly fire off a couple of rounds. With out a single word, Scarr turned in the opposite direction and took another hall, which led them directly into the office portion of the police station. There were two Sableyes as well as Farria the Gallade firing from cover at five police officers that Regalia and Scarr couldn't see. Scarr bent down to talk to Farria, dragging Regalia down with him. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Regalia.
"You can't drag me around like a piece of meat, you know!" She shook his heavy paw off of hers. "Theo, I really didn't need all of this! I could've got out myself! But still, I'm flattered that you would think of me…" Scarr ignored her, and instead spoke to Farria.
"I think we're ready to pull out. I've got Regalia." Farria seemed to not hear his boss for a moment, popping up over the pile of office rubble they were huddled behind to fire off an entire clip wildly from his Uzi. Firing from the other side stopped momentarily, then recommenced with vigor. Farria now turned to Scarr, and acknowledged he was there.
"All right, but I'm not sure we'll be able to pull everyone out quite yet. There's—A loud bang sounded from somewhere close by. "There are a lot of cops who set up blockades around the station, and with this being one of the biggest police stations in the world, we have a huge network of hallways to filter out." He reloaded his gun, and the empty clip that he had just fired began to glow a soft blue. It was lifted into the air without being touched and flung over cover, where it caught fire and exploded like a firecracker. There was a series of painful sounding groans from the police side, and and Farria stood up, motioning for everyone to move. The Sableyes stood up and ran ahead into a ruined private office, where they took cover and slammed the door, and Farria motioned for Scarr and Regalia to follow him.
As they ran across the sea of collapsed cubicles and bullet-riddled computers, one of the Machokes shook off the shock of being almost blown up by a gun clip, and raised his shotgun, which aimed right at Farria and Scarr. Regalia, who was lagging behind a bit, held up her claw, in which a jagged ice shard formed, and threw it with precision at the Machoke. The icy dagger connected with its target, and the Machoke fell backwards against the wall, shaking as he looked down at the shard that sprouted from the middle of his chest. Before passing out, he managed to squeeze the trigger on the shotgun, but it missed by a mile and hit the fluorescent light above Regalia, which shattered.
Ducking their heads, the trio dashed into a hallway, which had the corpses of a Sableye and two Machops strewn down its length. They nonchalantly stepped over the bodies, and turned the hallway, only to be staring right at a pile of desks, and three Machokes with automatic rifles using them for cover. It was one of the blockades. In a split second, the air rippled in front of them as bullets were fired from both sides. None of the shots seemed to connect. Scarr and Regalia looked to Farria, confused, and saw his eyes glowing that same shade of soft blue.
"I put up a bit of a shield for us. Now you two, go! Get out of here!" Scarr smiled. When he smiled, Regalia noted that it always seemed maniacal. Like he was ready to massacre children or something.
"Farria, the way you're going, you're going to be up for a promotion soon. I mean, you saved my life, and you helped capture that little whelp, Hombre. I really think that—
"Wait a minute!" Regalia turned around and was about to run in the opposite direction, but had frozen. "You mean to say that you captured Hombre!? For real? Oh I can't wait to see the look on his stupid little face! I vowed I would kill him and thanks to you Theo, I can! You do everything for me!" She gave Scarr a sudden and rib-crushing hug. Scarr looked at her for a moment, and gave a little blush.
"Uh, boss?" Farria had interrupted. The Machokes had regained their composure were reloading, ready for another volley of bullets. "I mean no disrespect whatsoever, but WE REALLY NEED TO GO!!!" Sweat was beginning to permeate his face. Without a word back to the Gallade, Regalia and Scarr took off. An explosion of gunfire from the large office room they were just in gave the two a sudden burst of speed. Scarr began racking his brains, trying to remember something.
"Now, where's the exit again? Do we need to go left or…" He began mumbling to himself as Regalia noticed a sign that said "EXIT" hanging from the ceiling, pointing to their right.
"This way, Theo!" She shouted as she grabbed his arm and swung him to her right. Regalia took the lead now. A Grovyle with a stubby cigarette in his mouth was covering an intersection of four hallways with his automatic rifle. Turning suddenly to face them, he seemed relieved it was Scarr.
"'Ey thar, Boss. Almost turned me gun on yeh! Looks like yeh got lil' Regalia thar, so are we movin' out?" Scarr gave quick nod, and as he reached the intersection, he turned to strafe across it, and fired his gun, pegging between the eyes two Machops that were rushing down the hall. The Grovyle whistled at the skill of the shot, and moved ahead of the pair of infamous criminal friends to head up the dash for the exit.
After a bit of running, the three came upon a pocket of Sableyes armed with pistols, in a heavy firefight with what sounded like at least ten policemen. The Sableyes were all taking cover, dotting the hallways leading up a large, open room. The Grovyle looked the situation over for a moment, and then spoke.
"I thin' this is what's left over of me squad. We was supposed t'detonate the police arm'ry, in coordination with Farria's team, who were gonna lay waste to the office wing. There was supposed to be two big distractions at opposite ends 'o the police station, but we got 'eld up and separated when some Shiftry ambushed us…" He suddenly went deep into thought, letting his weapon fall limply, held in one hand, at his side. He made some hand movements, which were indicating that we was trying to retrace his steps as he and his squad attacked the police station. "Well, s'far as I can see it, we—
"Get down! Cover your eyes!!!" Scarr suddenly shouted, quickly following his own instructions. The Sableyes looked around, confused. The Grovyle, as well as Regalia, who had been listening intently to the Grovyle's recollection of the attack on the police station, only had seconds to be as surprised as the Sableyes. There was a quavering cry from one of the pistol wielding minions of "Flash-bang!" and the world exploded full of stars and pearly-white color, which seemed to seep over everything in Regalia's vision. The world had gone completely quiet as well, except for an unpleasant ringing noise. Regalia suddenly felt extremely weak, and her knees buckled.
