Pokemon Special: Team Rocket's Last Stand

Chapter 2a: The Legendary Problem(Pearl POV)

According to the message we had received from Green, the orders were to go straight to Kanto to try and calm down the situation over there. He didn't really explain much, but he said something about super soldiers and dark pokemon. Is there really anyone in the world that possesses the power to control such things at will. No, there's no way that's possible, it's probably just an infection over at Kanto or something.

"Um, Pearl? Have you seen Missy anywhere?" Diamond asked.

"Are you serious?! You take your eyes off of her and she suddenly ends up getting lost!"

"Pearl, forget about that. I see fire…"

"We're in the middle of the ocean! There's no way there could be…" I said as I turned around. There were two boats, battling each other. One boat that we never heard of, and a boat that held the crest and flag of Team Galactic. From what I could tell, it seems that the boat with Team Galactics flag held the advantage. We began to approach the ship, and then we were able to see the people on board the unknown ship. The were wearing red clothes, imprinted with what appeared to be a mountain in their shirts.

"CHARGE! LONG LIVE TEAM MAGMA!" was heard throughout the entire ocean. The screams that followed came from the same people that charged at the Galactic Ship. They simply jumped overboard and swam towards the enemy ship. The battle continued, it seems as if they had overtaken the enemy!

"Pearl, who is Team Magma?" Diamond asked.

"I don't know Dia…" I replied, feeling powerless due to lack of knowledge.

"Team Magma, a secret organization that tried to expand Hoenn's land in exchange for losing the ocean. In attempt of this, they had summoned the legendary Groudon, and had almost destroyed the Hoenn Region in the process." We heard that familiar soft voice. It was Platinum. She was on top of our ship, and was staring off into the distance, as if she was amazed by the beauty of the destruction of the ship, and saddened because the ship had been destroyed.

Suddenly, a loud boom could be heard throughout the entire ship. We were not moving, everyone was silent. The more time that had passed by, the more we could feel that the ship was tilting. We're sinking!

"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"

"WHY IS THE BOAT SINKING?"

"But I didn't get to go to the buffet yet…" Dia whined to himself.

"This is not the time to worry about something like that!" I said as I smacked Dia.

I looked around for Missy but she was nowhere to be found. What's going on? Why is the boat sinking? The answer then appeared right before my eyes.

"Lugia, another Aero Blast." we could hear this from the distance. A lone man was standing on top of the Lugia. He wore clothing as black as night, and his face was concealed with a mask that showed only the color of his eyes.

The boat was hit by the Aero Blast, and we began to sink faster. At this rate, the boat won't last five minutes. We have to get out of here! I try to reach out to Dia, but he disappeared. I called out for him, but there was no response. Don't tell me he's already fallen into the water…

"DIA! MISSY!" I exclaimed. No response, however when I looked up at the top of the ship which now was only about twenty feet above the water I saw the Masked Man and Missy.

"Listen Kid, you have two options, sink or come with me."

"I refuse to listen to a terrorist."

"I see, guess I have no choice then. Registeel, subdue her. Use Superpower." After I heard these words, I heard a scream. Then, I saw the masked man again. However this time he was holding Missy like a princess.

"Damn it, give her back!" I yelled.

"Lugia, Aero Blast." He said calmly. The boat had been destroyed, we were now trying to float on pieces of metal. After seeing that we were unable to fight back we heard him say this, "I have the girl. Yeah, I'm heading over to Saffron now." The man flew off on his Lugia and in about 3 seconds had disappeared from the horizon completely.

Wait, where's Dia!? I continuously called out to him, but got no response. Please, you can't tell me he's drowned. I haven't been able to do anything! Why am I so useless! The Ship that was being attacked by Team Galactic was appearing to head over here. Dang it, is this a part of their trap too?

When the ship had finally reached us, it sent out rescue boats in an attempt to rescue us. They were surprisingly kinder than I thought they were. seeing as they also gave us blankets to warm up from the cold water. It's surprising, but I can't let my guard down. I have to remember that these guys almost destroyed that Hoenn region.

"Hello, are you Sir Pearl? We were hoping that we would've been able to meet under more normal conditions but it seems as if the plan has changed. Please head over to the Captain's office and we will head over there ourselves as soon as we have this situation under control." He said to me in a military like voice.

I start to head over to the Captain's office and find the one guy who helped brighten up my day. Dia was alive! and eating a bunch of food. I'll forgive him this one time because things couldn't be worse right now. We had finally arrived to the Captain's Office to find three people in here already. I'd seen pictures of two of them, it was Sapphire and Emerald. Two of the Hoenn Pokedex users! However, we had no conversations going on, as they had a rather serious look on their face.

"Hello, I am a lowly messenger from Team Magma. I've come to tell you a message from the Higher Ups. We of Team Magma have signed a treaty with Team Rocket, and are going to war against Team Galactic. This was known as the Rocket Magma army. Team Galactic has currently recruited Team Aqua into their ranks. We were told to leave the Pokedex users out of our violence."

Wait, what? If they were told to leave us out of it, then why did Team Rocket capture Red? Harm Yellow? Attempt to take the life of Green? This doesn't make any sense! Why would they do something like this?

"What's the deal with the Supersoldiers?" I asked.

"That's Confidential Information."

"The Black Venusaur?"

"Also Confidential."

"Red's Kidnapping?'

"..."

"Damn it, if you won't tell us anything then you are the enemy! I won't sit here as you start hurting my friends!"

"I understand where you're coming from. However, rushing things will get us nowhere. We were told to drop you off near Saffron, and that is what we are going to do. Enjoy the rest of the boat ride."

The Man in the red coat left, leaving nothing but silence in the room. In the end, we learned nothing about Team Rocket or their motives. I had a conversation with the Hoenn Dex Holders about the situation and we began to compare information.
