Chapter 2: The Escape
(Pikachu's view)
I sprinted back down the hall I had come from. I looked behind me and saw that the Pichu, who I figured was Ash, was still clinging to my back. I looked forward and saw that we were quickly approaching the forked tunnel again. I turned left and continued running. I hadn't seen any trace of the guards, but I knew that it was only a matter of time before one of the appeared, and then I'd be forced to fight.
I'd normally be fine on my own, but I now had to take care of Ash as well. I don't know if he can handle any of my electricity, so I'd be forced to mostly rely on my physical attacks. That left me with agility, iron tail, quick attack, double edge, tackle, and electro ball.
Yeah, not a lot of good options. Most of my attack would put Ash in harm's way. I figure that all I could really do to protect Ash was to never stop running. Maybe I could use agility and quick attack to escape, but really, that's it.
I realized that we were approaching the end of the hall and braced myself for attack. I figured that as soon has I entered the next area, someone would be there, waiting for us.
My hunch was correct. As soon as entered the room a trainer in a white coat and his Houndoom were waiting for us.
"Go Houndoom! Don't let them escape!"
It charged up and fired a shadow at us. I jumped over it and used agility + quick attack. I ran so fast that the dark pokémon had no time to react, and I hit it between the eyes.
The dark dog landed with thud and I continued running. Ash tightened his grip as I went down the hall. Maybe I could find a safe place to hind.
"THEY WENT DOWN THERE! GET THEM! BUT BE CAREFUL! THE PIKACHU IS STRONGER THEN WE THOUGHT!
Dang it. So much for a finding a safe place. I can't stop to hide now, just got to keep on running.
Or at least that's what I thought I'd do. But then I found myself in a dead-end. Nowhere to go I guess I'll have to fight my way back. But as I turn to go back the hallway shook.
Everyone [including me] stopped. I heard a crack I looked behind me and saw that the wall was cracking. I suddenly realized that this could be my chance to escape. I turn back towards the wall and used iron tail on the crack. The crack widened. I think I need to do it one more time to break through. I had to hurry; the people who were chasing me were realizing what I was doing.
I prepared for iron tail, but before I could attack, the hall shook again. I heard a sound, it sounded like something between a crack, something shattering, and something being smashed. Suddenly I realized what was happening. Someone was breaking in and was using heavy machinery to get through and ME AND ASH WERE IN THE WAY!
"Damn it! Ash!"
Then the wall exploded. Literally. It looked like whomever was coming in decided that explosives were the quickest way in. Since Ash and I were caught in the blast, we were sent flying. Ash flew into the left wall, and I hit the right wall.
I looked up and saw some very familiar shape hiding in the smoke from the now destroyed wall. Team Rocket's most well known members: Jessie, James, meowth, and wobbuffet. Ash's enteral enemies; but why were they here?
(Jessie, James, and Meowth's view)
We final had broken into this lab. The boss told us to get in and steal some of the pokémon there. However, it seems we attracted some attention.
"It seems that we've been spotted James."
"How true, Jessie. You know what we get to do now, right?
"Good, I thought this was going to be boring."
"Hurry up you knuckle-heads and start it already."
Prepare for trouble, without our disguises!
And make it double, with no surprises!
To protect the world from devastation.
To unite all people within our nation.
To denounce the evils of truth and love.
To extend our reach to the stars above.
Jessie!
And James!
This is it! No more games: Now we're here to settle this. No costumes, no tricks, just the real Team Rocket!
Surrender now, or prepare for a real fight!
Meowth, that's right!
Wobbuffet!
(Pikachu's view)
…I forgot about their motto. Wait, why are they, Team Rocket's most infamous members, here of all places? Did they follow us or did their boss give them a new mission? Ether way, this isn't good. They hunt for rare or powerful, and since ash is a spiky-haired Pichu, he is now a target for them to capture.
I'm REALLY, REALLY, REALLY sorry about the lack of updates. I've had to study for SAT and ACT and this is my first time I've had to sit down and get so serous writing. I know that you wanted me to update and now I think that I can work on my stories again. Sorry for the delay. I hope you enjoyed my story and remember to have a good day.
