Chapter 5
"Rounding Up the Suspects"
In the days that followed the events in Afghanistan and Pakistan, many more Pokemon war crimes like Giovanni and his associates were rounded up in places all across the Middle East and Europe. Some were already serving time for other crimes while others had just been captured recently before the raid.
At one U.S. military base in Afghanistan, Professor Sebastian Shimunio, a high ranking scientist for Team Rocket was already getting the treatment that he deserved for all the crimes he committed against Pokemon. A few days before the raid in Abbottabad, he had been arrested for trying to escape the country as there was a bounty on his head. Shimunio was wanted for carrying out the operation to attack the red Gyrados and was forcing it to evolve. In other words, he was wanted for carrying out unlawful evolutions of Pokemon.
Upon arrival at the base, he was greeted by angry U.S. Soldiers and upon being pushed by one of them, was beaten with clubs and sticks that the soldiers used to show how angry they were. Upon falling to the feet of the commander of the base, the shabby treatment did not stop there.
"We know who you are, Mr. Hunter of the Red Gyardos," said the commander. "And we've heard the stories too. Why, you Team Rocket Bastard."
The commander then proceeded to kicking Sebastian in the stomach as a way of demoralizing him and one soldier kicked him so hard that his glasses were knocked off his head. After moments of savage beating, he was thrown into a cell where he was joined by another Team Rocket agent who just so happened to work under him.
"Professor," said the voice. "I guess you got the same treatment."
"Oh, don't start with me, Tyson," he groaned, getting up to his feet. "These people are not going to get away with this, I swear it."
"I'm afraid they already have," replied Tyson. "Giovanni is captured and Bin Laden is dead. Face it, we've lost the war."
Sebastian moaned softly and began to cough up some blood as a result of the beatings he had taken. He crept over to a stool in the cell and sat down in it, still coughing up blood.
"No, Tyson," groaned Sebastian. "We will find another way. I'll restart Project R and find more Pokemon to evolve and become as red as the blood that we will spill from these men."
Tyson watched helplessly as his superior continued to moan and groan and cough up more blood. A long time ago, he was part of a group called Project Revolution that manipulates a Pokemon's evolution and the waves from the evolution ray causes the Pokemon to become stronger and stronger as well as multiplying in various copies, creating a Pokemon army. Sebastian wanted to use the ray on a Red Gyrados in order to attack U.S. and U.K Warships in the Persian Gulf. In fact, he once succeeded when he used a Red Gyrados to attack the U.S.S. Cole in Aden, Yemen in October 2000, killing 17 U.S. sailors.
Ever since then, he had a bounty on his head and now it appeared that the bounty was going to be paid to the people who tipped off the soldiers who captured him.
Tyson walked over and looked down at his superior with a grim look on his face.
"I'm sorry, Professor," he said. "No matter what we try from here on in, there is nothing we can do to stop it. I'm afraid Project R is terminated and we are going to face the consequences."
Meanwhile as the two men began to think about their fate, another Team Rocket agent was also in the midst of being under arrest. This agent didn't need Pokemon and relied entirely on her combat skills that she had always been taught to have. Her name was Domino Williams, formerly of New Mexico who ran away to join Team Rocket at the age of 15. To the British Government, she was known as 009 and to the American Government, she was known as Black Tulip. She was wanted by the Americans and the British for leaking classified information regarding possible targets for terrorist attacks. Domino was also suspected of aiding the terrorist who carried out the bombings in Madrid and London, by scouting out targets for them as well as providing the explosive Pokemon they used to carry out the bombings.
Domino would meet her fate at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila, Philippines on May 5, 2011 where upon learning that Giovanni had surrendered to the British, knew that she had to escape the Philippine National Police who had been searching for her with the help of the FBI. As Domino arrived at the airport, she was to board a Philippine Airlines flight to Sydney and continue to hide.
"There she is!" called a American voice and Domino, who was about to board her flight, realized that she had been spotted and ran away from the boarding area as the four agents hunted her down.
"FBI! Freeze!" said the second American voice.
"Damn it, I've been spotted!" she thought to herself and pushing people out of the way, she tried to go back out the way she came, only to be cornered by airport security guards. As the agents closed in on her, Domino attempted to reach into her backpack and pull out a Pokemon to fight them. But, the agents were too quick and quickly pushed her against the wall and threw the backpack on the floor.
"Domino Williams," said the first agent as his comrades surrounded her. "You're under arrest for major war crimes."
Upon throwing the handcuffs on her, the agents led a silently crying Domino out of the terminal and she was taken to a Philippine Military Base to await extradition to Germany, where the Pokemon war criminals were being rounded up.
Meanwhile, at another military base back in Afghanistan, a group of captured Team Rocket scientists were gathered in a large room and were placed under heavy guard by U.S. Marines brandishing AK-47 Rifles.
"All right, Pay Attention, orders are in," said a young soldier to the captured scientists. "Now, listen up. You will all be taken to different places of detention. The following prisoners will go to Rammstein Air Force Base as defendants for future war crimes trials, step forward."
He soon called out the names of three Team Rocket scientists who were wanted by the Americans and British Governments.
"Dr. John Fuji," called the young solider. "Dr. James Namba, and Dr. Joseph Zager. Follow me."
So, the three scientists were called forward and followed the young soldier out of the large room where they would soon join their fellow captives in the biggest war crimes trial in 60 years…
