Dang, I haven't updated for a very long time, huh? I'm sorry! Too busy with school I guess.
Anyways, while I SHOULD be studying for a test and writing an essay, just decided to update this…
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Pokemon or any other Ocs other than Krystee, Crys and Nicole.
Crys coughed, trying to wave the smoke away from her face. Just as the bomb exploded, Crys immediately pulled out Gerard's Pokeball and ordered for him to use Protect. It managed to hold back most of the explosion, though it was nearly impossible for them all to avoid them. The explosion had occurred when Crys, Anabel and Storm caught up to the director and the other trainers. Through all of the commotion, 'Krystee' slipped away, turning back to its original form and went off to find his trainer.
"Urk, thanks Gerard…Collette, I'll be needing you too!" Crys coughed out. Gerard nodded, about to start his speech, when Collette landed on his head, shocking him enough to shut up. The other trainers realized that all of this could turn into something ugly, which wasn't a pretty picture at all.
"Leo, Eric, Belgum; let's go!" Storm called her Pokemon out. Belgum quickly looked around, only to see smoke and some destroyed parts of the Battleon, disappointed that no food was around. Leo turned out to be a cute, fluffy Growlithe, though he was quickly prepared for battle. Eric was a Lairon, who seemed to have an attitude, though he grew friendlier when he realized that his teammates were with him.
"A-ah! H-Help o-out, Eevee, B-Beldum!" Anabel released her two Pokemon. Eevee stayed near her trainer, a little frightened by all the smoke and noise. She was also intimidated by the Pokemon around her. However, Anabel's Beldum dashed around its trainer, psyched that it got to battle some Pokemon for once. The other trainers also released their own Pokemon.
"The Battleon is in danger. I suggest we all split up and help everyone evacuate. Crys, Anabel and Storm, you will come with me to secure that everyone comes out. All the others, team up and make sure the exits aren't blocked. Let's do this everyone!" The director ordered. He was pretty young, probably in his early-twenties and had shaggy blonde hair. His green eyes were hidden behind a pair of huge, black glasses. He wore a wrinkled green T-shirt, a pair of white, baggy sweatpants and slippers. The director looked as if he had stayed awake for a whole week, stressing out.
"Right!" The group did as they were instructed to and parted ways…for now. Crys and her group rushed towards the battle arena, horrified at the sight. Trainers and the spectators, as well as the special guests, fought the Team Rocket with their Pokemon. Although the Pokemon were strong, Team Rocket used dirty tricks to win battles, such as paralyzing trainers and hurting their Pokemon beyond recognition. It was a sickening sight, Pokemon laying on the ground unconscious or dead. Their trainers were in the same position, some so horrifying that Crys couldn't even look without turning away or feeling the need to vomit.
"W-What happened here…?" The director muttered, falling to the ground with his eyes wide and for once, silent. He hadn't planned for this to happen at all; the thought not even occurring to him as he had set up his precious Battleon. And that thought angered him, beyond words. Why would Team Rocket do this, after the months and months of preparation? Was it for the publicity that the Battleon brought? Or was it for their own, bigger motives. Whatever it was, it frightened the director. Lives were going to be lost because of him. He turned to the frozen trainers, a pleading look in his eyes.
"Please…help the Battleon!" the director requested, voice quivering. Crys and Storm snapped out of their daze, looking around them. All hope seemed to be lost, but after seeing them all work so hard…they just couldn't give up…
"Alright. Team Rocket won't get away with this." Storm huffed, pumping her fist. Crys, although not quite as confident, nodded her head. Anabel quietly fiddled with her fingers, Beldum zooming around, eager for a battle while Eevee mewed in approval, unable to stand quiet seeing its brothers and sisters in pain.
"Yeah! I'll definitely help out. Come on Storm, help me put out those fires!" Crys said, pointing to the blazing flames, burning down parts of the Battleon, drawing dangerously close to terrified people and paralyzed Pokemon.
"You got it! Leo, help out by moving some of the small Pokemon away. Belgum, levitate the heavier ones and as much humans as you can. Eric, use Dragon Rush and Iron Head combo on the Golbats, Grimers and Vulpixes! Take down as many as you can!" Storm orderes her Pokemon, who quickly did as they were told. The Growlithe rushed to clear the area of small Pokemon, such as Pichus and Cleffas. Belgum moved the trainers and the larger Pokemon, while Eric charged forward to the opposing Pokemon, knocking them down like flies, appearing as a metallic blue/purple blur. Crys didn't waste anytime either.
"Gerard, douse the flames with your Withdraw and Water Gun! Collette, String Shot on those guys with the black uniforms!" Crys instructed. Gerard spun round and round, splashing down flames while Collette tied down the defenseless grunts, who, well, grunted in displeasure. Their boss wasn't going to be too happy with them when it was going to be over.
"Ah! Uhm…Beldum, c-can y-you knock down the stands w-where people are trapped? E-Eevee, h-help out b-by leading the way!" Anabel commanded uncertainly. The situation wasn't good, and her uncertainty made it worse. This was exactly the reason why she had lost in the first round, much to the disappointment of her partner. Of course, she had been sad too, but seeing everyone around her so strong, she felt her courage diminishing. Nothing could compare to this though…Yet, seeing her Pokemon growing so strong, she felt sort of happy. Maybe, just maybe, she had a chance…
"Woah, no way! Watch out for the Swampert…ACK!" Numerous grunts and their Pokemon were either swept away by waves of muddy water or knocked off their feet by a strong wave in the ground. Sarah stood triumphantly over the piles of knocked out Team Rocket members and their teammates. Her eyes, instead of their cheerful glimmer, were hard and cold. Swampert growled loudly, as if challenging those around him.
"Kiba, let's go! Take down the flames with your Muddy Water!" Sarah ordered, watching in satisfaction when the people remained unharmed, though certainly wet.
"Lee, let's go. Clear the way with your Kick combo!" Taylor ordered his Hitmonlee. It spun around, its powerful legs swiftly moving with extreme speed, batting away its opponents like they were nothing. Taylor quickly motioned for people to step out of the Battleon, hurrying them as the exit was guarded by Julian and Kira, with their Sableye and Roselia out. Things were looking better and better…
Krystee watched in relief as she saw the waves of people getting out. Most were injured, some in critical condition. Luckily, the Viridian Police Force and the Viridian Hospital were coming, series of Growlithes, Arcanines, Blisseys and Chanseys rushing in. The Battleon sure looked like a mess, but atleast many had survived, trainers fending off Team Rocket. The only thing that disgusted her were the corpses of those unlucky enough to survive, as well as the dangerous criminals still lurking around. She had to get in there fast.
"Excuse me, wait, ah! Urk…just…a little…more…" And with a final push, Krystee found herself inside the Battleon. It was deflating, the top slowly making its way down. Pokemon of all sorts were releasing their attacks. The inside was dusty, wet, burnt and broken down. It wasn't a pleasant sight at all, with the dried blood and lifeless carcasses of Pokemon and humans. She hadn't really known Team Rocket to do such a villainous thing, like being murderers. And it made her sick, sick to her stomach.
"Bulb, Bulbasaur!(Master! Over there!)" Kiyoshi nudged at her trainer, indicating at the Head Admin, who watch in satisfaction on the bleachers. Her two Golbats flew above her, slashing at the top of the Battleon, sending down bits of fabric to the ground. Her Arbok wrapped itself around her trainer, a Ditto sitting contentedly on her shoulder. Below was a battling Sandslash, looking quite powerful and menacing, partnering up with a Marowack. How was she going to defend herself against those?
"Pi, Pika, chu!(I'm going in, with or without you guys!)" Aki yelled at its trainer and fellow Pokemon, rushing forward towards the tops. She agilely dodged the Pokemon, their attacks, and anything that Arceus decided to throw in her way. Krystee and Kiyoshi exchanged nervous looks before running after the battle-crazed Pikachu.
"Aki! I'm counting on you!" Krystee called after her Pokemon, Aki running faster. If Krystee believed in it, she could fry those Golbats any day. Not that she would admit it anyways. The group persevered, under the harsh surveillance of the Rocket boss.
'I'll get you! I won't disappoint mom, not the way you did Alita!' Krystee glared at Alita with pure hatred. She knew it was partly her fault, but she'd stop Alita, for herself and for her still grieving mother. She would save her sister no matter what.
Julian and Kira were exhausted, but not only from the recent events. They had just finished their own respective battles, only to find themselves immersed in the Rocket scheme. They hadn't expected this, of course no one did. Julian, an experienced trainer, had powerful Pokemon on his side, though the enemies' numbers didn't help the fact that his Pokemon were tired. Kira was enduring, though her Roselia's and Rapidash's health were dwindling.
"Kira, how's Rapidash holding up?" Julian asked the young girl. Kira turned to him, patting her exhausted Rapidash. Although it was beginning to stumble, it neighed indignantly, not able to back down. Julian's Sableye, Trick, was next to it, using Trick Room to slow down enemies while Rapidash fainted them in one hit.
"Not good. We have to end this soon." Kira muttered, whispering soothingly to her Rapidash. Poor horse was on the verge of collapsing. Julian cursed under his breath. He turned to examine the battlefield. Team Rocket members were decreasing, most of their Pokemon down. Though, their leader was still strong and very much decimating others with her tough, well-trained Sandslash and Marowak.
"No kidding. Alright, switch off Trick. Twiggy, Leaf Storm!" Julian called out his Turtwig, who wasn't at all well rested. Obediently, it tried its best to produce a powerful, wide-ranged Leaf Storm attack. It knocked down some Pokemon, but with its attack lowered, it didn't do the amount of damage Julian had hoped for. Fortunately, Kira was there with him.
"Alright, Roselia Magical Leaf! Full Power!" Kira ordered. Roselia's two roses began to glow and it started spinning around wildly. Multiple colored leaves began to smash against its opponents, finally defeating the ones Twiggy hadn't managed to.
"Yes!" Julian grinned, while Kira cheered with her two Pokemon. Things may be looking up for them. It was then that he noticed something from the corner of his eyes.
"No…" Julian groaned, smacking his head. From the entrance of the beaten Battleon, a whole new group of Rocket members emerged. There were about two dozen, being led by a young boy, about one or two years younger than himself. The boy has striking white teeth and yellow, shark-like teeth. The only difference about his uniform was a lab-coat. He had a Koffing next to him, puffing out smoke.
"Oh dear Arceus. What the Moltres are more of them doing here!" Kira screeched. She clenched tufts of her disheveled hair in her fists, face red. Julian felt like doing the same thing, but he wasn't a girl.
"Reinforcements apparently…" Julian mumbled, shaking his head. Great, the enemy had back-up, while they didn't. Oh joy…but Team Rocket really had it all planned out. They weren't going to let the Battleon continue and worse, kill all the trainers and Pokemon. Less threats meant less work. Team Rocket didn't like competition at all…
"Hey! Look over there!" Kira pointed. Julian saw Krystee running up, with her Bulbasaur and Pikachu, towards the smirking woman, whose Pokemon continued to destroy others. Krystee looked worn out, dirty and clothes torn as if she went through a tsunami. Her Pokemon didn't look too good either.
"Is that…Krystee!" Julian squinted, trying to see if what he was seeing wasn't an illusion or something. He hadn't seen her, or any traces about her, for about a day and a half. Seeing her so suddenly and so distraught only meant one thing. She had been captured by Team Rocket.
"Yeah! It is! And she's heading towards the leader!" Kira gasped. Although she hadn't seen Krystee battle, she heard from Crys and Julian that she wasn't too bad. However, she was still a rookie, being a trainer for about a week or two. Definitely no match for an older woman who had Pokemon that were far more experienced than her own.
"…Wait! Look over there! Taylor and Sarah! They're heading up!" Julian pointed to the two trainers. Sarah rode on her Swampert, Taylor battling the two ground types with his Poliwrath. Krystee reached her destination, apparently talking with the mastermind. Finally, Alita snapped, throwing her Arbok against Aki. Fortunately, Sarah arrived too, preventing too much damage on the bristling Pikachu. Kizer headed up too, riding on his Weezing, which was larger than most.
"Please….end this madness soon…" Kira prayed to herself, her Pokemon laying down for a short break before their opponents would come rushing over. Julian said nothing. The two looked over solemnly. Would this ever end…?
Tada! Finally, the attack at its peak! Our heroes aren't doing so well. But, since you know how cheesy I am, of course they have to live! Haha, on to the character corner! (Since I ran out of things to say)
