A/N: Hello everyone I am back with the next chapter of "Play Misty for me". Once again, I had issues beyond my control keeping me updating last month so I am back now. Anyway, in this chapter we deal with the fallout from last time and begin the end of the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon
Dark clouds hung over Vermilion City and the sun hadn't been visible in the city since the night Misty left with Team Rocket. At Brock's, the titular man was busy packing everything away that belonged to him. Suddenly, the bell ran signaling a customer.
"Sorry, we're closed!" called Brock.
"I noticed." replied Ash as he walked over to his friend.
"Oh hi. I didn't know it was you." noted Brock.
"What's with all the boxes?" asked Ash.
"I've sold this place and am moving back to Pewter City." answered Brock.
"Why?" asked Ash.
"Team Rocket is coming back and they know who I am. They've already gotten to me once." answered Brock.
"Don't take this the wrong way but, I didn't think you were a quitter." replied Ash.
"This is different, we're talking about Team Rocket here." said Brock.
"Look, Misty is being held by them." stated Ash.
"I know." sighed Brock.
"We can't just leave her." said Ash.
"That'd be suicide." replied Brock.
"We can't just leave her." said Ash.
"I'm not going to get myself killed." protested Brock.
"Look, you already accused of her being a killer you cannot just abandon her now!" snapped Ash.
"I feel terrible enough as it is about calling Misty a killer, I don't need you rubbing it in!" cried Brock.
"I don't mean it to offend you." said Ash.
"Then why bother bringing it up?" asked Brock, clearly angered.
"Because it's the truth." answered Ash.
"You've got me there." sighed Brock.
"Help me save Misty." said Ash.
"I want to make up with Misty but, I cannot support a suicide mission." stated Brock.
"Look, I want you to come with me fine but, even if you don't then I will." said Ash.
"Dammit Ash that's freaking stupid!" cried Brock.
"I don't care!" cried back Ash.
"Ash, you cannot just throw your life away." replied Brock.
"I thought you'd understand but, I should have known better." said Ash.
"Don't start with that crap." said Brock.
"I should have figured a womanizer like you could never know true love." continued Ash.
"Ash, that is complete crap and you know it." said Brock now seething.
"Look, I'm just really going through a lot of shit right now." sighed Ash.
"I know and it's fine. I got a little defense." said Brock.
"So, we're still friends?" asked Ash.
"Of course man." answered Brock.
"However, I must still say that I'm still going after Misty." replied Ash.
"There is really is no convincing you otherwise." sighed Brock.
"You're correct." said Ash.
"If you come back in a body bag then you're responsible." noted Brock.
"I know and frankly I'm ready for that." said Ash.
"Then I guess there is only thing to do." said Brock.
"Look, you can't tell stop me." said Ash.
"I know." replied Brock.
"Okay." said Ash, unsure what was coming.
"I've decided to join you." stated Brock.
"Are you serious?!" asked Ash amazed.
"Yes. You're devotion to Misty convinced me." answered Brock.
"Great!" exclaimed Ash, "We've got to stop by the police station and talk to Gary."
The two left and headed to the Vermilion Police Station. Going inside, the two went to Gary's office and found him there. Gary was in the midst of paperwork when they arrived.
"Hey guys, I'm kind of busy." said Gary.
"The case with Misty?" asked Brock.
"Yeah. We've arrested some associates but, no Team Rocket members as of yet." answered "The biggest arrest so far was that of Lt. Surge."
"I knew that son of a bitch was up to no good!" snapped Ash.
"You met him?" asked Gary surprised.
"We went to see him after Marina was killed and he seemed way to uneasy when we brought up Misty." answered Brock.
"Surge acted suspicious and quickly kicked us out." added Ash.
"Well, it seems you two were right." replied Gary.
"At least he'll be held accountable." sighed Ash.
"Right now we have tax evasion and selling illegal narcotics due to steroids he sold for Team Rocket. We'll probably fine more and we'll seek deportation to the United States once his sentence ends." explained Gary.
"Good." said Ash.
"Luckily, Lt. Surge is not above self-preservation." said Gary.
"What do you mean?" asked Brock curious.
"Lt. Surge quickly ratted out his "comrades" to save himself." answered Gary.
"Then you must now where their base is!" cried Ash.
"Indeed we do. Their main base is in a remote location in the desert near Gramps Canon." affirmed Gary.
"Great! Then we can go!" yelled Ash jubilant.
"Calm the hell down." demanded Gary.
"Sorry." replied Ash scratching the back of his head.
"What do you mean "we can go" Ash?" asked Gary.
"Brock and I are going to storm their headquarters and rescue Misty." answered Gary.
"You two must be insane!" exclaimed Gary in amazement.
"We're going and you cannot stop us." said Ash.
"Common sense should freaking stop you." replied Gary amazed.
"I'm going Gary." said Ash.
"Brock, you seriously cannot be on board with this crap." said Gary amazed.
"I am. I wasn't originally but, Ash convinced me." relied Brock.
"You're both crazy." sighed Gary.
"I want you to come with us." said Ash.
"Hell no!" snapped Gary.
"Gary..." began Ash, only to be cut off.
"I'd think you'd would have more common sense than to do something this asinine!" snapped Gary.
"Gary, I am in love and cannot be stopped. If you really don't want to help then fine but, don't get in my way." warned Ash seriousness in his voice.
"I've never seen you like this before." noted Gary.
"Get used to it." said Ash.
"If you two go then you'll get killed." said Gary.
"Misty is the most important person in the world to me." replied Ash.
"Think about it: Misty wouldn't be happy if your ass got killed tried to save her." said Gary.
"He might be right." said Brock, "We could go with the police."
"They've never let us." said Ash shaking his head.
"You're right and that's why I'm coming with you." replied Gary.
"Are you serious?!" asked Ash enthusiastic.
"If I don't go you won't last five minutes." answered Gary.
"Thanks man." replied Ash.
"Hey, it's no problem." shrugged Gary.
"Now, we need to figure out how to get in." said Ash.
"They front door is way to guarded but, there is a back door that's used for sneaking in stolen Pokemon. It's less guarded and we can slip in there." explained Gary.
"Let's go." said Brock and with that the three left.
"Hold on Misty, I'm coming for you." said Ash to himself.
Inside the depths of Team Rocket's base, Misty was sitting in a chair. She was in the office of Giovanni right in front of his desk. Giovanni kept an incredible close on his prize and made sure Misty was monitored all the time. Needless to say, Domino was not pleased by the attention she got.
"Here is your tea." said Domino clearly trying to suppress his displeasure.
"Thanks." replied Misty solemnly as she took the tea.
"I hope it suits your taste." said Giovanni.
"It's bitter." said Misty retaining his tone.
"You're attitude is quite terrible and I am growing agitated by it." said Giovanni clearly displeased.
"You've kept me here for days just sell me into prostitution all ready." huffed Misty.
"Not just yet. I'm saving you for top clients. You'll be a top sell." replied Giovanni.
"You're a sick bastard." spat Misty.
"You respect Giovanni!" snapped Domino.
"Kristi silence yourself." said Giovanni sternly.
"Yes Boss." replied Domino.
"Misty you are my top prize." noted Giovanni.
"You're disgusting." seethed Misty.
"Now now. Bite your tongue or you may lose it." warned Giovanni.
"You wouldn't do that to your "top prize" Giovanni." said Misty.
"Arrogant bitch!" cried Giovanni, who then slapped the redhead.
"That's more like it." thought Domino.
"Now listen to me; you are my property and you will NEVER back talk me like that. You can be replaced." said Giovanni.
"Then replace me." replied Misty bitterly.
"You insolent girl." said Giovanni angrily, "Domino, teach her a lesson."
"With pleasure boss." replied Domino.
The blonde girl pulled her leg back and gave Misty a stiff kick in her side. Domino continued to kick Misty for several minutes before rolling the redhead onto her stomach. Domino then began stomping Misty repeatedly. Once she was done with that, Domino stomped Misty on the head then moved her foot back and forth. Finally, Giovanni signaled for her to back off.
"You belong to me and always will. The sooner you accept that as fact the better off you will be." said Giovanni.
Meanwhile, the police forces were reading. The Vermilion City SWAT, Cerulean City SWAT and Saffron City SWAT teams had joined together. National law enforcement had joined them as well. Ash and Brock were nearby staying out of sight. Ash had his cellphone and was keeping in touch with Gary. They stopped just outside the base for one final meeting.
"All right. Once we arrived we're going straight in. We need to neutralize the guards right away and we'll use a flash grenade to cause confusion then go in. Take as many alive as possible but, lethal force can be used if needed. However, Giovanni and all his executives are to be taken alive. This includes Archer, Ariana, Petrel, Proton, Carl, Sham, Will, Karen and Grey. Also, members Butch, Cassidy and Domino are also to be taken alive. Finally, Misty is secured without harm. She is being held against her will." explained Gary.
"Understood." replied the men.
"Okay, let's do this." said Gary, "Ash, I hope it's not to late. Please, find Misty."
The police forces moved in on their target. They moved in quickly and arrested the members outside. Jenny took out the surveillance camera in front of the building.
"They know we're here now." noted Jenny.
"Get ready boys and girls here comes the hard part!" called Gary, who then kicked open the door and threw in a flash grenade.
While the police forces were storming the building from the front, Ash and Brock were waiting out back. Hearing the gunshots they knew that time had come.
"Let's go." said Ash.
"I'm right behind you." replied Brock.
Ash and Brock slipped up to the back door knocked. A couple Team Rocket grunts answered to see who was there and got knocked out. Brock and Ash then went inside leaving the two unconscious Team Rocket grunts on the ground.
"So Ash, where exactly is Misty anyway?" asked Brock.
"I'm not sure. But, we'll find her eventually." answered Ash.
Inside his office, Giovanni was sitting with Misty. The redhead still hated the Team Rocket boss who didn't seem to mind as long as she was content. Suddenly, Domino burst through the doors.
"You know that you must knock before entering my office!" snapped Giovanni.
"Sir, we have... a major... problem." said Domino panting.
"What is it?" asked Giovanni annoyed.
"Police are raiding the building." answered Domino.
"Dammit!" cried Giovanni slamming his fist onto the desk.
"Sir, please give me orders." begged Domino.
"Get me executives here now then lead our forces. Include Biff and Cassidy with you." replied Giovanni.
"Yes sir." said Domino who quickly left.
"It looks like your plans are falling through." smirked Misty.
"Shut up!" snapped Giovanni.
"It's only a matter of time until I am freed." said Misty.
"Not if I kill you first." replied Giovanni coldly.
Ash and Brock were making their way through the Team Rocket base. Sneaking around while trying to avoid Team Rocket grunts proved hard than they even thought.
"Ash, this is taking to long." noted Brock.
"I know. We need a map." replied Ash.
"That isn't going to happen." sighed Brock.'
"We'll find a way." said Ash.
"What will happen if we find the police?" asked Brock.
"The we'll probably be detained and might be arrested. Gary will help us though." answered Ash.
"I hope we run into those two that attacked me. I'd love to make them pay." replied Brock.
"I feel the same about Domino." said Ash seething.
"Hey you two!" called out a Team Rocket grunt.
"This isn't good." said Brock.
"Get in your uniforms now." said the grunt.
"We'll trying to find Giovanni. We need to give him an update on the situation." said Ash.
"He's in his office on the top floor. You'd better hurry though." replied the grunt, who was then punched out.
"Thanks." said Ash.
"Let's go." said Brock.
"Yeah." replied Ash, "Misty, please hang on."
