Crimson/Red
Chpt. 4
"A Pikachu?" Brock said with a yawn, this kid wasn't very bright. His onix was just as unamused as the little rat tried desperatly to electricute him, it simply smacked its tail with ease making Misty's palm smack against her forehead.
"Damn it Ash! Change your damn Pokemon! Electricty doesn't effect rocks! Think damn it! Think!" she screamed from the side line, her pulse rising at this kid's stupidity! The Pikachu's head smacked into the rock and dizzily began spinning.
"Pikachu use Electricity!" Brock and Misty head spun with confussion and slight curriosity at his words.
"If it didn't work the first time, why the fuck would it work now!" Misty screamed at him, her words hitting deaf ears as he tried that attack again. She about passed out from embaressment as the Onix's tail slithered around Pikachu.
"Don't you dare say use electricity!" Misty screamed, making Ash growl as he tried to call back his little friend, but the pokeball couldn't get to him.
"I don't want your Pokemon to be harmed..." Brock said sinceriouly,"Surrender now and you can walk off unharmed..."
Growling and tightening his fists Ash finally grumbled,"I give...Just leave Pikachu alone..."
...
"Tell me," an unrefined masked voice coursly acclaimed making the man with the white hair and suit jump, eyes jumping toward the voice,"What is such a refined trainer like yourself doing in a dump like this?"
His eyes shot toward a boy clad in the usual Team Rocket uniform a skarf concealing his face, but by the glint in his shadowy eyes he could tell he was smirking toward him so smilling to he said kindly,"Their lovely aren't they? The fossils I mean to say..." his eyes shifting toward the fossils. He had to do a double take through when he saw the boy that was nearly across the room seconds ago was now directly beside him staring into the fossils.
"I can't say I see the appeal," he shrugged his finger skimming across the glass boredly,"I am how ever attracked to the thought of the power they are holding..."
His sentence seemed to hang, but the man instantly knew what he meant,"So what doese Team Rocket have in store then?" he inquired his hand shooting toward his Pokebelt.
"Sorry...that's classified," the boy simply stated, bashing a pole usually used to keep curriose museum guests away from the Aerodactyl fossil across his head making everything fade to black.
His eyes then flicked toward the case holding his prize, his wrist carefully rose the blood stained pole in his hand and effortlessly shattered the glass blocking him from his prize. A smirk snapped across his face,Too easy, he thought snatching up the stones.
Then like a whale of beast that had been disturbed, the sirens flared off instantly making the young boy spin from the surprise and his eyes began to enlargen at the unexpected steel gates dropping around him trapping him like a rat,Thought too soon, he simply smirked to the minor annouance his right hand slithering firmly around the spere on his belt.
...
"You are most deffinetly the dumbest kid I've ever met!" Misty barked to Ash for about the millionth time today, making him sink down in his chair farther into the chair, his eyes locked on the clock upon the wall.
"Yeah well your the bitchest girl I've ever met..." he growled back their eyes locking but soon breaking as a quake shook the building knocking all the pictures off the wall and scattering everying obscurely around the room.
Quickly they rushed to the door, many towns people following their lead all eyes gaping open to the museum, the front wall was shattered across the ground a young boy was standing there head moving around, then a large orange dragon with fire on its tail shot out of his Pokeball. The boy jumped upon its back and soared through the air toward the near by mountain, Ash's eyes widening in an awe struck way.
...
"Sir..." the words swirled in his head, his brain whirled faster to comprehend as the voice contiuened to echo through his brain,"Sir...sir...Can you hear me? We need to take your statement..."
"Officer...he needs his rest..." their voices began to voices merge together in his ever spining head, but then it all stopped and faded to the darkness for the time being.
...
Red sat on the edge of Mt. Moon stairing down at the city his Charizard curled up beside him, his stomach snarling to him for food, he had to admit he was starving. His fingers gently scratched the lizzard's head a soft smile on his face.
"You know...their smarter then I thought..." he pondered out loud,wondering when Raichu would come back,"Their late...but that scientist I can't explain why he would want to be late..."
His eyes motioned toward the bag filled with priceless stones for his expirmenting pleasure. Sighing his head fell back gazing dreamily toward the sky really wishing he had a way of getting a free steak dinner right now or would it be too obviose that a musuem was robbed and all of a sudded the champion shows up with their stones for a free all you can eat dinner?
Thumps of foot steps echoed through the quiet Area making Charizard growl, however Red paid no attention.
"I don't know who you are, but..." there was a pause as the wind picked up and the familar sound of a pokeball opening,"As a gym leader I can't allow you to just steal those stones..."
...
With low moan the man's eyes opened to see a shaking room, his eyes began blinking away the bluriness. Groaning he began to raise his head. He was in the Pokecenter, nurse Joy was rushing around barking orders at the what he assumed were police and reporters badgering for answers most likely from him.
"Are you alright?" the soft voice of a red headed girl asked the boy behind her rolled his eyes in a disbeilving mannor.
He nodded softly, raising his head to see what was happening around him when the boy clued him in,"Their was a robbory at the museum...well I guess you would know since you were there but anyway the police and reporters have been waiting for you to wake up for some time now...their trying to figure out who did and why..."
"No,Ass! They know it was team Rocket! They just need to know why!" She barked to him making a small sweat drop drip from his head, the girl definatly wasn't as sweet as he thought, she then turned back to him sweatly,"Yeah the gym leader Brock went to Mt. Moon to find him..."
He humphed and mummbled,"He's not so great..." Making the girl giggle, angering the boy.
"Hey! What's going on here!" officer Jenny yelled racing over sensing trouble and jumping between the two then she turned to the man,"Good your awake.."
But before she could finish her statement, the man was already walking toward the door.
"You can't just leave! Who do you think you are mister?" she yelled to him, but simply turned his head to her and complied with a winsome smile before walking out the door.
"Steven, Steven Stone champion of the Hoen league..."
...
Sweat drained down Brock's forehead, this guy was toying with him. His onix was down for the count and his geodude wasn't favoring the fight much against the Charizard, flames bombarded it and sent it crashing into the side of the mountain, for the first time in monthes quivers of shame streamed down Brock's back. He took a step back and he lost his footing, his eyes clamped tight his life flashing before his eyes, but to his surprise his oponent was holding onto his forearm tightly and dragged him back up. When Brock looked at the boy he simply shrugged and flew off on his Charizard.
Leaving Brock stunned.
...
"Where have you been?" a squeaky voice commanded of Red who simply shrugged,"I said west side of the mountain! I bet you were on the wrong side weren't you?"
Red simply rubbed the back of his head, he couldn't just admit he was wrong. Maybe it was a good thing the gym leader had come along or he would have been waiting too long for nothing to happen and he would have never spotted the man.
"So how does this work exactly?" he asked curiosly changing the subject hoping the man would stop glaring at him.
"Oh you will see soon enough..." the man giggled almost making Red laugh at the way he sounded like a mad scientist from a cartoon but somehow he kept up his complusure handing the man the bag and beggining to snicker once he had disappeared into the darkness of the cave opening behind him.
"So you think you can get away so easilly?" A voice said sternly making Red smile. His eyes moving towards the too proud figure standing before the sun set behind him, he laughed slightly to himself, he been waiting far too long for an actual challenge to let this one slip.
"To think...I actually thought today was going to be boring..."
...
Panting and clawing at the ground, Jesse and James managed to claw their way to the top of the mountain, Raichu staring disbeiving at them then to Meowth who just shrugged.
"Humans...can't explain them..." Jesse growled but was too tired to try to straggle him.
"Not you guys again..." a familiar voice groaned making Jesse and James instantly jump to their feet, both glaring to the red haired girl and the 'twerp'.
Brock looked confusedly to Misty,"You know these guys?"
"Yeah...they don't look or act like it but their team Rocket goons!" Misty acclaimed her finger shooting towards them, Ash sending out his Pikachu an Eckans already shooting at it.
