A/N: Well after an incredible run this story has come to it's end. I want to thanks everyone who backed this story and supported it. Here, the story comes to an end.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon
Gun fire filled the Team Rocket Headquarters as the raid continued. Bullets and blood were splatted over the walls and dead corpses littered the floor. Despite the fierce battle, the police were slowly gaining momentum. The police tried to take as many Team Rocket members alive as possible but, this was proving a monumental task.
"Come on guys. We need to keep pushing!" called out Gary.
"These bastards are just trying to bid their time." noted Jenny.
"Most likely they're trying to buy Giovanni time to escape." agreed Gary.
"Sir, it looks like the grunts are breaking rank and falling back!" called one of the officers.
"Don't get too cocky." warned Gary, when his phone rang, "Hello?"
("Hey Gary, Giovanni's office is on the top floor.") said Ash.
"Be careful! They're likely falling back to protect Giovanni!" called out Gary to the other cops.
("We're headed that way ourselves. That's gotta be where Misty his.") added Ash.
"Just be careful." replied Gary.
("Of course. We'll try to keep Giovanni from escaping.") said Ash.
"Just don't do anything stupid." said Gary.
("Hey, if I'm stupid enough to do this then that's to late.") replied Ash.
"I guess so." sighed Gary.
("You be safe to man.") said Ash.
"I will man." said Gary as the call ended.
"What is it?" asked Jenny.
"It appears we've found Giovanni's location. There are two people headed that way right now." answered Gary.
"That's good." replied Jenny.
"Yeah." said Gary, clearly distracted.
"What's wrong." said Jenny.
"Nothing." replied Gary.
"Okay." said Jenny accepting that.
Gary, Jenny and the other continued their push and managed to get near to the top floor. Team Rocket members were everyone and they began to slow down. Gary managed to break through and rounded a nearby corner. Inside, he heard people talking.
"This is really bad." noted Petrel.
"What orders has the Boss given?" asked Ariana.
"Hold our ground and bid our time. He's going to escape." answered Proton angrily.
"Calm down." said Ariana.
"We cannot let those bastards defeat us!" snapped Proton.
"I agree but, it's important for Giovanni to escape." said Archer.
"Giovanni has become freaking obsessed that redheaded bitch!" spat Proton, "Archer, you need to take control."
"I am." said Archer.
"No. I mean control of the organization." said Proton.
"You're talking treason." said Ariana.
"What's important is Team Rocket staying together." said Petrel.
"That won't happen." said Gary kicking open the door with his gun drawn.
"Things aren't going to be that easy." said Petrel.
Petrel jumped up and flipped the table allowing him and the other Team Rocket executives to withdraw their sidearms and begin firing. Gary jumped into the hallway to avoid their bullets.
"I saw this coming." said Gary as bullets sped by him.
The executives fired again until they had all run out of bullets. They quickly reloaded while Gary was able to get several shots off himself. After a few minutes, the Team Rocket executives returned fire forcing Gary to again duck into the hallway for cover.
"This is going nowhere fast." thought Gary when suddenly he got an idea.
The Team Rocket executives continued to fire for several minutes until they felt like it was a good time to stop. Once they did, Gary fired several shot back into the room. However, this was merely a decoy so they wouldn't see the flash grenade he rolled into the room. He then ducked back into the hallway.
"You son of a bitch!" cried Proton.
The Team Rocket executives jumped out to again return fire but, when they did the flash grenade went off. The explosion rocked the room and shattered the windows that were directly behind the executives. Proton was sent backward losing his gun as he fell. Ariana and Archer went knocked senseless by the blast and had their equilibrium temporary unbalance. Proton was closest to the grande and was sent flying backwards by the blast.
"Secure these people now! They're four of the executives we're looking for!" called Gary to several nearby officers.
"Hey Gary, the other five executives are just around the corner here." noted Jenny.
"I'm going after them." said Gary, who led the officers.
Gary and the police carefully made their way to the corner and Gary poked his head around the corner. As soon as he did, several bullets caused him to quickly jump back.
"Well, I saw that coming." said Gary.
Gary and the officers returned fire with the Team Rocket executives and the two sides traded shots. After several minutes, Gary knew he needed to break this stalemate.
"Okay, this is what going where going to do." began Gary softly, " We're going to pretend to fall into a trap and cause them to drop their guard then we'll overtake them."
"Roger." replied the officers.
Gary and the officers waited until the gun fire halted. Once it did, Gary and the others jumped around the corner and immediately found themselves at gun point. Carl, Sham, Will and Karen had seemingly captured the officers.
"Well, it seems like we've caught the rats that infiltrated our base." said Carl.
"I'm sure the boss will love interrogating you." added Sham.
"I wonder how we'll be rewarded." pondered Carl.
"Whatever it is, it should be good." replied Sham.
"Actually, the plans have changed." said Will jamming his gun into Carl's head.
"What the hell are you doing?!" asked an outraged Sham, who found a gun jammed into her head.
"We've turned against you." answered Karen.
"You two really should have figured out the cops were trapping you." said Will.
"You're egos have been your undoing." added Karen.
"Why are you doing this?" asked Gary.
"The two of us can no longer serve Giovanni. We can no longer morally support him." answered Will.
"I'm supposed to believe that is true and you aren't trying to save your own assess." replied Gary.
"It's up to you to believe us or not." shrugged Karen.
"Take Sham and Carl away. Will and Karen have defected to our cause. They'll be detained for now but, if they're willing to help us then they will be given immunity." explained Gary.
"Sir, we're one short." noted an officer.
"Grey is still in the room next to us." said Will, pointing to a nearby door.
"I'm going in." said Gary heading to the door.
"Be careful." said Karen.
Gary headed to the door and slowly opened it. Once the door was opened, Grey jumped out to fire at Gary but, Gary was a quicker shot and hit Grey in the shoulder disarming him. Gary then slapped handcuffs on Grey and arrested him.
"Gary!" called Jenny making her way to the scene.
"Well, that's one big obstacle achieved." sighed Gary.
"That just leaves Giovanni." said Jenny, "As well as Butch, Cassidy and Domino."
"Butch and Cassidy are good agents. Domino is one of Giovanni's top subordinates and a real threat." noted Will.
"We're well aware of that." sighed Gary.
"I hope you have good men on them." said Karen.
"I think we do." replied Gary.
Meanwhile, Ash and Brock were making their way to Giovanni's office on the top floor. Because grunts were all being sent to stop the police, the duo found little resistance. However, when they reached Giovanni's office two faces familiar to Brock were waiting outside as guards.
"Well, well, well, look how we have here." said Butch.
"It's you two." spat Brock.
"You two aren't going any further!" declared Cassidy.
Butch and Cassidy withdrew two sidearms and began to fire. Luckily, Ash and Brock were able to duck and avoid the bullets. The two of them withdrew their sidearms and returned fire.
"I know you were trying to avoid this. Just let me take the lead." said Ash.
"Hell no. After what those two did to me I want to make them pay." replied Brock.
The four continued trading bullets a well placed shot from Ash hit Butch in the chest. He crashed against the wall and began bleeding badly.
"Damn you!" cried Cassidy.
Cassidy angrily aimed her gun at Ash but, when she pulled the trigger it jammed. Seeing their oppertunity, Ash and Brock jumped into action. Brock jumped on Butch pinning him down while Ash tackled Cassidy knocking to the ground.
"Didn't your mother teach you not to hit a woman?" asked Cassidy.
"You're a bitch not a woman." answered Ash.
"Cass..." said Butch clearly hurt.
Brock saw that Butch was still breathing and became angry. He clenched his fists and began punching Butch in the head.
"You need to stop him!" screamed Cassidy.
"Brock! Stop man! If you keep this up then you're no better than him!" cried Ash ripping his friend off Butch.
"Those two fuckers attacked me in my own bar and left me for dead!" spat Brock.
"You're better than them. Don't stoop to their level. Just take a deep breath and relax." said Ash.
"You're right." sighed Brock.
"You won't be able to stop the boss." spat Cassidy.
"Watch us." replied Ash.
Ash and Brock headed over to the door in front of them. The two looked at each other and, after a nod, Ash kicked the door open. Inside, Giovanni sat behind his desk while Misty sat in a chair nearby. Domino stood by Misty's side.
"Ash, what are you doing here?!" asked Misty alarmed.
"I've come to save you." answered Ash.
"You were too stupid to realize your own assistant was a Team Rocket member. There's no way in hell you're free her." replied Domino grinning.
"You were a shitty assistant anyway." spat Ash.
"Domino, rid this two pieces of trash from my sight." ordered Giovanni.
Domino jumped int action swinging at Ash then punching Brock in the stomach. Ash quickly got back to his feet and swung and Domino. However, the blonde woman grabbed Ash's arm and flipped him over. Brock tried to clothesline Domino but, she ducked then kicked Brock in the back of the head.
"Come on guys this is too easy." said Domino.
Ash then got up and, reeling back, threw a punch that managed to connect and send Domino falling to the ground.
"Just like Cassidy, I don't have any problem hitting a bitch." said Ash.
"Ash, I told you not to come here." said Misty.
"I don't care Misty. I love you and I will never let you go. That's why I'm risking myself for you." said Ash.
"Watch out!" cried Brock.
Ash turned around and noticed a fist coming his way. He was barely able to dodge Domino's incoming punch.
"Don't forget I'm here." said Domino.
"I haven't." said Ash.
Domino swung at Ash who managed to dodge the incoming punch. Brock jumped onto Domino's back but, she flipped him off and gave him a swift kick to the kidney. However, Ash managed to tackle her to the ground.
"Get off of me!" cried Domino, kicking Ash off her.
Ash was sent backwards while Domino jumped up. When she did, Brock managed to knock her to the ground but, Domino monkey flipped Brock off of her.
"Just give up." said Domino arrogantly.
"No way!" cried Ash.
Ash charged at Domino with the intent to spear his former assistant. However, Domino sidestepped Ash so he ended up hitting Brock instead. As Ash realized what he did, Domino kicked him in the back of the head knocking him to the ground.
"I told you idiots you'd never beat me." gloated Domino walking over to Misty.
"Don't hurt her." warned Ash.
"You two are in no place to make demands." said Domino.
Misty crossed her arms and turned her back to Misty. As she prepared to gloat more, a loud clicking sound was heard and Domino fell to the ground. Behind her stood Misty holding a taser.
"You idiots should have searched me better." said Misty.
"Bitch!' spat Domino.
Misty pulled back and kicked Domino in the head knocking her out. Ash then embraced Misty while Brock got back to his feet. The three of them turned to face Giovanni.
"I must admit, you've done better than I thought you would." confessed Giovanni.
"It's over. Your criminal reign is ending." said Ash.
"Yes it is. I can clearly see that." replied Giovanni.
"So, you're not going to stop us?" asked Brock.
"It's obvious that I am in no position to oppose you." answered Giovanni.
"Ash!" cried Gary running up to the group, "Giovanni, you're under arrest. Your other executives are under arrest and it seems your other subordinates have been defeated."
"Okay. Then cuff me and take me to the station." said Giovanni standing up.
"Why are you surrendering so easy?" asked Gary suspicious.
"I cannot refuse. Beside, no matter what happens I will return. That is inevitable." answered Giovanni.
"I'd think again." said Gary.
"Oh no. You see I have large amounts of money in accounts, some overseas, and I have connections in high places. I am untouchable." explained Giovanni with a sinister grin.
"Let's go!" snapped Gary as he cuffed Giovanni.
" "I'll see you soon Misty." said the Team Rocket boss as he was escorted away.
Giovanni and Domino were arrested joining the others. In the days that followed the demise of Team Rocket was the major topic of discussion and was present on all the news outlets. The relationship between Ash and Misty bloomed but, Misty couldn't help but feel troubled. Finally, she made the hardest decision of her life.
"Ash, I'm breaking up with you." said Misty as she stood in his living room.
"But, why?" asked Ash heartbroken.
"With everything that's gone on lately I need time to think. I'm going back to Cerulean City to be with my sisters." answered Misty.
"I understand." replied Ash, getting her motivation but, still not happy about this.
"I do love you." said Misty.
"So do I which is why I know why you need to do this." said Ash.
""Thank you. Many people wouldn't be so understanding." sighed Misty.
"Don't worry, I'm not moving on. Just give me time to soak in everything that's happened. I'll come back someday." said Misty.
"Then I'll wait." said Ash, who shared one final kiss with the redhead.
"We'll always have Vermilion City." said Misty as she opened the door.
"Hey!" called Ash causing Misty to turn around, "Here's looking at you, kid."
It had been a solemn few days since Misty left. The gray clouds that hung over the city before had not departed. Things weren't helped by Brock leaving the very next day. As Ash drove down the damp streets under the dismal skies, he noticed that Brock's had re-opened under new management. Ash parked and headed inside finding only a man behind the counter.
"Oh hi My name is Cilan. I'm originally from Unova but, I recently purchased his place." said the man introducing himself.
"I'm Ash. I...was good friend with the previous owner." replied Ash.
"Do you want a drink?" asked Cilan.
"Whiskey on the rocks." answered Ash staring at the nearby stage.
"There used to be a house band here and from what I've heard the singer was something amazing. I guess she moved a few days ago so they split up." explained Cilan, "For now, I only have records."
"Do you have Misty by Johnny Mathis?" asked Ash, as he was handed his drink.
"Actually I do." answered Cilan.
Ash looked back at the stage and thought about the night he met Misty. With a sad smile he looked down at his drink and told Cilan he reply.
"Play Misty for me."
A/N: So there we go. That final scene with Ash as the bar was the first scene I came up with in October 2012 and from there I built up this story. I hoped you enjoyed my work I'm not sure what I will do next exactly. I do have other stories out including other Pokemon stories and I hope you check them out. I hope you liked by story and will continue supporting me. Please review.
