[ Celadon City - Hotel ]

Pikachu and the rest of the gang stared in wonder as they watched Jessica and Joffrey, two members of the notorious Team Rocket, suspended in mid-air, their bodies writhing and contorting as they struggled against an unseen force. The two villains were badly bruised and battered, their faces were swollen and bloodied, evidence of the harsh interrogation they had just undergone at the hands of Austin.

Jessica and Joffrey sang like canaries for Austin as he had called upon, Abra and Musharna, to use their psychic powers to seal away the memories of the interrogation.

With their eyes closed and their bodies trembling, Abra and Musharna focused their powers on Jessica and Joffrey, slowly erasing any trace of their previous conversations with Austin. The two villains continued to struggle, but their efforts were in vain, as the psychic seals took hold, rendering them unable to recall any of the events that had happened

As the process came to an end, Lucario, a powerful aura Pokemon, stepped forward, ready to use his abilities to hide the psychic seals from prying eyes. With a wave of his paws, he unleashed a burst of aura energy, enveloping the room and ensuring that no one would be able to detect the presence of the seals.

Pikachu and his friends watched in awe as the room filled with a soft, shimmering light, the psychic energy swirling around them like a gentle breeze. For a moment, everything was still and silent, until Jessica and Joffrey finally slumped to the ground, their bodies exhausted and weak.

Celadon City, known for its opulence, grandeur, and riches, was a place where one could easily get lost in the dazzling lights and exquisite surroundings. The bustling streets, filled with luxurious boutiques, cafes, and restaurants, were a sight to behold, attracting visitors from far and wide. The scent of perfume and freshly baked bread filled the air, and the laughter of the wealthy echoed through the city's towering buildings.

However, the southern edge of Celadon, nestled away from the glitz and glamour of central Celadon, told a different story. Here, the streets were narrow, dark, and dreary, with crumbling buildings and shattered windows, the pungent smell of garbage and decay lingering in the air. Poverty-stricken people, dressed in tattered clothing, walked around with heads bowed, their eyes downcast, a reflection of their hopelessness and despair.

For years, the people of southern Celadon had lived in these conditions, forgotten by the rest of the city. They had struggled to make ends meet, scraping by on meager wages and living in squalor, while the rest of Celadon reveled in their wealth and extravagance. It was a stark contrast, a symbol of the class divide that plagued society, a reality that many refused to acknowledge.

...

[ Celadon City - Southern Suburbs ]

The dilapidated shop on the edge of Celadon City's southern suburbs stood as a testament to the area's economic struggles. The air hung thick with a sense of despair and hopelessness, making it the perfect breeding ground for Team Rocket members. Most of the organization's recruits joined out of desperation, unable to afford a starter Pokemon and become trainers like others. They joined Team Rocket to escape the poverty and slums they were trapped in, to provide for their families, or even to fuel their vices. Team Rocket only recruited those who were desperate enough to join and cunning enough to stay.

On this particular day, a group of individuals arrived at the shabby shop one after another. They had all come to take the Team Rocket Rookie test, their faces etched with determination. Among them were a red-haired girl and a blonde, who approached the front of the shop with a trace of nervousness.

The man sitting behind the counter was the person responsible for conducting the test. He looked at the duo and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Have you thought clearly? You know, after entering, it will be difficult to get out of it."

The blonde replied in a calm tone, "Please tell me the directions, Mister. We have nothing to lose. So we are not afraid of anything."

The man laughed, "Haha, it looks like you two are determined. Do you see the marks on the stone? Follow these marks, and you will reach the end."

He then threw a small object toward the duo, which they found to be a plain black stone. It was like a token, without which, they would likely not be able to find the destination.

As the duo walked away from the shop, their skin appeared to turn into a purplish slime, peeling off to reveal Austin and Green. Austin wiped off the sweat from his face, while Green gulped down a bottle of water before teasing him. "You know if your lips touch that bottle, then it's an indirect kiss," she said, handing him the bottle.

Rolling his eyes, Austin chugged down the water before looking at Green with a smirk. "I got the indirect one, can I get a direct one?" he said, his heart beating faster.

Green smirked, approaching his face and breathing on it. "First, you feel me for free, and now you want a kiss. Bold, aren't you?" she said, making Austin's face turn red with embarrassment.

"Keep trying, Mr. Ketchum, but you can't beat the master," Green said as Ditty covered her face with a disguise and Austin followed suit.

...

The sun was beginning to set over the forest as Austin and Green followed the directions given to them by the man. They trudged through the woods for what felt like hours until finally, they reached a cabin with a Fearow perched atop it. As they approached, an ugly man appeared in the doorway and glared menacingly at them.

"Hey, what are you doing here, brat?" the man snarled, eyeing them up and down.

Most people would have cowered in fear at the sight of this brutish man, but to Green, who had spent most of her life in the seedy underbelly of society, and to Austin, who had faced horrors beyond imagination, this man was just another face in the crowd. They held up the Black Token, and the man's eyes immediately honed in on it.

Without a word, the man opened the door, revealing a room full of unconscious individuals. Green couldn't see much in the darkness, but Austin's sharp eyes scanned the room, taking in every detail.

Once they had handed over the token, the man ushered them inside and closed the door behind them as sleeping gas filled the room. Green was knocked out while Austin pretended to be unconscious, waiting for the next move.

It wasn't long before a group of masked individuals arrived and began loading the unconscious people into white delivery vans, each bearing the Sliph Corporation logo. Austin knew that this was just a disguise to avoid raising any suspicions, but he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

As they were driven away, Austin began sending out Aura pulses, hoping to get a sense of where they were headed.

Green slowly opened her eyes and took in her surroundings. The bright light made her squint, but as her eyes adjusted, she realized she was in a large open space that resembled a football stadium. There were about 80 or so people scattered around, some standing and some lying down. As she tried to gather her thoughts, she saw Austin on the ground, his eyes closed.

"Austin?" she called out, but there was no response. She walked over to him and noticed that he was touching the ground with his eyes closed.

"Are you okay?" she asked, worriedly.

"I'm fine," he replied, his eyes still closed. "Aura is with me."

Green didn't understand what he meant but decided not to press further. Instead, she looked around and realized that they were not in the main Team Rocket base. She let out a sigh of relief, but her relief was short-lived as she realized that the place looked exactly like the Masked Man's trials.

"This looks exactly like that bastard's place," she whispered to herself.

Austin heard her but didn't say anything. He knew what she was referring to, and he didn't want to trigger any memories that would bring her pain.

As they waited, Green tried to get in touch with the other recruits to gather some information, but she found that everyone was being guarded and not saying much.

About ten minutes later, members of Team Rocket wearing black uniforms with giant R symbols on the front emerged from the gate. They rudely expelled people on the edge of the room and then arranged the recruits in a very orderly manner. A few seconds later, a beautiful blonde woman in a Team Rocket Admin uniform stepped out of the entrance.

"Welcome, everyone. My name is Lisa. I am the instructor of your group of recruits. I hope you can all listen to me. I will never say it a second time. Bring me the Pokémon," Lisa said in a loud voice.

As soon as she finished speaking, several Team Rocket members brought out a few large suitcases and placed them in the open space in front of the podium. A large number of red and white Pokéballs were neatly arranged, a total of 150.

Green was surprised to see so many Pokémon. "There are only about 100 of us here. Why are there so many more Pokémon than people?" she asked Austin.

"Probably so that everyone can choose their optimal Pokémon without pressure. The test is pretty fair so far," Austin replied.

Green nodded in agreement, but she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. She watched as the recruits started choosing their Pokémon, and Lisa began explaining the rules of the test. As the test progressed, Green began to feel uneasy. She didn't like the way Lisa was looking at the recruits, almost as if she was sizing them up for something.

Austin noticed her unease and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know. It just feels like something's not right. Lisa's eyes, the way she's looking at us. It's almost like she's waiting for something," Green replied.

Austin looked at Lisa, and he couldn't shake off the feeling that she was up to something. "We need to be careful," he said. "This test might not be as fair as we think."

"I won't talk any more nonsense," Lisa declared, her voice firm and authoritative. "As you have seen it, this is the initial benefit that our Team Rocket gives you Rookies."

She gestured towards the table in the center of the clearing, upon which sat a collection of spherical objects. Each one was adorned with a distinctive red and white design, emblazoned with the iconic "R" emblem of Team Rocket.

"Go, choose one Pokéball out of them," Lisa instructed. "But remember, you cannot release the Pokémon inside. And once you choose, you can't replace it."

The recruits murmured among themselves, their eyes fixated on the colorful orbs before them. Austin and Green, two of the last to step forward, hesitated as they surveyed the dwindling selection of Pokémon.

With a deep breath, Austin approached the table, his eyes scanning the name tags attached to each Pokéball. Rattata, Spearow, Zubat, Koffing, and Ekans.

" Hurry up, you two!" One of the team rockets shouted at Green and Austin who immediately grabbed onto a PokeBall.

Green picked up the PokeBall of a Zubat meanwhile Austin picked up the PokeBall of an Ekans.

"Well, since you all have selected Pokémon, you can release them now and try to conquer them. You have 7 days for this, and the first 10 people to do this will get generous rewards. The faster you are, the better the rewards you will get." said Lisa with a playful expression.

When Lisa was talking, Austin and Green, who was in the crowd, noticed the members of Team Rocket who surrounded them. The faces of these people were humorous, watching the rookies with interest.

Narrowing their eyes, Austin and Green felt something was wrong.

"Rattata, use Tackle."

"Ekans, listen to me. I'm your trainer now."

"Spearow, we'll be friends from now on.

Ok?"

"Koffing, use Tackle."

After hearing the words of Instructor Lisa and the rewards, most of the Team Rocket rookies' faces showed ecstasy.

These people thought that they are smart enough or charismatic enough to impress the Pokémon.

Lisa's words poured oil into the fire.

Feeling a dangerous aura coming from the PokeBall, Austin immediately clasped Green's hand and ran from the sight of the Team Rocket members who released their Pokémon.

Many rookies trusting their gut ran from the Team Rocket roomies.

These Pokémons that came out of the rookie's Pokéball first looked around. The orders from the rookies were ignored by them.

For a time, the scene was pretty embarrassing. Facing this situation, the faces of those rookies who were formerly full of confidence couldn't help but show an expression of embarrassment or surprise.

Austin could feel from their aura that these Pokemon were not normal. If anything he would point out that these Pokemon's aura seemed broken like they had lost their will to live. They weren't living things rather they were machines.

Looking at the crowd of rookies and remembering Lisa's words it clicked in Austin's mind.

The people from their clothing, behavior, and demeanor showed that they were either druggies, homeless or desperate people.

Team rocket recruit such people and gave them abused pokemon so these people could learn how to control weapons. They didn't want people who would love pokemon rather they wanted people who could wield the weapons given to them.

The scene was chaotic, with the air thick with tension as the group of Team Rocket rookies struggled to control their newly acquired Pokémon. These were no ordinary creatures, for they possessed the ability to think and behave much like humans. Yet, they did not act like the intelligent and obedient pets that trainers usually had. Instead, they behaved like wild animals.

The trainers yelled commands, but their Pokémon ignored them, and the result was disastrous. In a flash, the Pokémon attacked their trainers, causing mayhem and chaos. An Ekans bit its trainer, a Koffing spat gas, and a Spearow pecked at its trainer's head. It was as if the Pokémon had lost their minds, and no amount of scolding or order could make them listen.

Fortunately, the chaos was short-lived. A group of more experienced Team Rocket members, led by Instructor Lisa, intervened, and the aggressive Pokémon were quickly subdued and returned to their Pokéballs.

Green watched with a mixture of fear and sadness as Austin took her hand, offering her comfort. The events of the past few minutes had shaken her to her core, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for the mistreated creatures.

The air was thick with tension as the group of rookies stood their ground, clutching their Pokéballs tightly. The feral Pokémon that had attacked them only moments before now lay scattered across the ground, their lifeless bodies serving as a grim reminder of the dangers that lurked in team rocket.

"Don't worry, Green," Austin said, his grip on her hand tightening. "As long as I am here, not a single one of these feral Pokémon will touch a hair on your head."

Green couldn't help but smile at Austin's reassuring words. Despite the chaos that had just ensued, she felt a sense of comfort in his presence.

As the injured and dying were carried away to the emergency room for treatment, the rest of the group stood in silence, staring down at their Pokéballs with fear and uncertainty.

Lisa sauntered over to the group, a sadistic grin on her face.

"Oh~ it looks like none of you losers will get the rewards today," she taunted. "What a pity. By the way, I forgot to tell you. The Pokémon in your hands were harvested in the wild not long ago."

Austin's mind immediately began to race. The feral behavior of the Pokémon made him wonder what they had been through before ending up in the hands of Team Rocket.

As if sensing his thoughts, Lisa continued, "You should hurry up. If you can't conquer your Pokémon in a week, then you have to start as a Team Rocket grunt. By the way, 80% of all Team Rocket grunts do not manage to receive the benefits of being a true Team Rocket member."

She paused, a sly smile playing at the corners of her lips.

"Well, I don't want to talk any more nonsense. I will give you a week. No matter what method you use, only those who successfully tame the Pokémon in their hands can become true members of our Team Rocket. Those who can't do it will all be starting from the bottom. Our Team Rocket isn't going to waste resources on a grunt."

The group of rookies exchanged nervous glances, the weight of Lisa's words sinking in.

Austin couldn't help but wonder why there were so few Team Rocket members who used mechs in battle. Were they all simply grunts who hadn't managed to conquer their Pokémon, or were mechs just weaker than Pokémon?

The room was filled with tension as the rookies stood before Lisa, their superior in Team Rocket. Her sharp gaze bore down on them, and they all looked down at the floor, their nervousness palpable. Only a few brave souls dared to meet her eye, but upon catching her stare, they quickly averted their gaze.

Austin and Green immediately looked down, hoping to avoid drawing any unwanted attention. They knew that they needed to lay low if they planned to succeed.

Lisa, on the other hand, was studying the performance of the rookies, taking note of their strengths and weaknesses. As a Captain of Team Rocket, it was her responsibility to train and mentor the recruits, with the ultimate goal of cultivating them into elite officers. It was a crucial task for Lisa, as her success in training rookies would help to solidify her influence and reputation within the organization.

The tension in the room broke as Lisa clapped her hands and spoke, "Follow the Team Rocket members." Her order was met with a flurry of activity, as the grunts who had been waiting outside the door entered the room and began escorting the rookies out. Austin and his fellow rookies walked quickly, keeping their heads down as they were led out of the room.

As Lisa watched them leave, her eyes lingered on Austin's retreating figure, and she couldn't help but lick her lips. Her gaze caused a shiver to run down the spines of the Team Rocket members who stood behind her, as they knew all too well what it meant to be caught in the gaze of the "cougar" of Team Rocket.

Austin and the other rookies were led through the winding hallways of the underground base, their footsteps echoing loudly in the dimly lit corridors. After several minutes, they arrived at the public dining hall, a cavernous space filled with long tables and benches. The grunts ushered them to a table and provided them with a simple meal of soup and bread.

As they ate, Austin couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. He was deep inside the enemy's lair, surrounded by people who wanted to do him harm. But he knew he had to keep his cool and stay focused if he was going to complete his mission and gather the intel he needed.

After finishing their meal, the grunts led them to the recruit dormitory, a series of small rooms lined up along a long corridor. Austin was assigned to a room and as he opened the door, he was pleasantly surprised. The room was simple, but it had everything he needed: a bed, a table, a kitchen, a bathroom, and even a computer.

As he looked around, he noticed a closet in the corner of the room. He walked over to it and opened it, revealing two Team Rocket uniforms made from fur dropped from Pokemon. They were not only lightweight and durable but also had special properties to prevent fire and electricity.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Austin quickly composed himself and called out, "Come in." Green, entered the room.

"Want to play a game with me, honey?" Green said, using the prearranged code to indicate that they needed to speak in private.

Austin nodded and hugged Green tightly, trying his best to act like a couple in love. They both knew that the room was likely bugged, and they needed to be careful about what they said.

"Hmm, you're going to take advantage of me in here, you perv," Green teased, playing along with the charade.

"Why? Can't I hug my girl in private?" Austin responded, trying to sound casual.

"What shall we play?" Green asked, shifting the conversation to something more serious.

"How about crossword?" Austin suggested, hoping to keep things low-key.

"Sure," Green agreed, pulling out a pen and paper.

Suddenly, Green leaned over and kissed Austin on the cheek, causing him to blush furiously.

"What was that for?" Austin asked, feeling flustered.

"What, isn't this part of the plan, or did my small gesture awaken something in you ?" Green whispered in a teasing tone in his ear, causing Austin's heart to race.

" Just kidding," Green said as they worked on the crossword, they quietly exchanged information they had gathered about the base.

[ Team Rocket Rookie Base ]

[ Austin's Room ]

Green sat on Austin's lap, memorizing a crossword puzzle, as he blushed uncontrollably. "So, what are we going to do?" she asked. Austin replied, "What else? We are going to win the competition of Miss Lisa." He wrote down another word on the crossword puzzle as Green looked at it closely, noticing that it was identical to a map of Team Rocket's base. She realized that Austin was using his aura powers to create a map for her, including all the cameras and everything.

"Did that Miss Lisa catch your attention?" Green asked with a smirk, snuggling into Austin's chest. He coughed and replied in code, "No, I just want to be noticed by the higher-ups." Green nodded, understanding that he would keep Team Rocket's eyes on him while she executed plan B.

"Shall we start with taming our Pokemon?" Green asked sarcastically. Austin replied in code, "Are you okay? Zubat is a dangerous flying type Pokemon." He had a genuine worry in his voice, but Green could tell that his words were also meant for anyone who might be spying on them.

Green smiled as she kissed Austin's cheek, catching him off guard. She wrapped her arms around his neck and they looked into each other's eyes. "Don't worry, your girl isn't that weak," she said, coming closer to his face. His heart began to beat faster and faster.

"You know this is going to cost you extra," Green whispered into Austin's ear, immediately popping the excitement that had been building up in his mind. Austin sighed and nodded as Green stood up. "Awe, is my honey disappointed? Would you like me to make something for you in the kitchen, or would you like to have me?" From Green's words, Austin could tell that she was loving this. She knew what to say to get others to act up, and she was messing with him.

"Nah, I don't want to eat an identity crisis on my plate," Austin said.

"Hey, I can cook," Green protested.

"Who said I was talking about your cooking?" Austin teased.

"You big meanie," Green said as she threw a pillow at him. He rolled his eyes and picked up a book from his desk. Green sat beside him and saw the title, "Team Rocket's Guide to Pokemon."

They skimmed through the inaccurate book, which recommended a carrot and sticks method to tame Pokemon while feeding them the blood of the same Pokemon species essentially cannibalism. Green couldn't believe what she was reading.

" Is this true ?" Green curiously asked as Austin answered," A friend told me that this method turns a pokemon into a rabid carnivore and dulls their minds so that they lose their sense of reasoning but since it is recommended by team rocket then it must be true."

Austin was one of his conversations with Cynthia as she explained how they had discovered ancient ruins in Hoenn that depicted this cannablistic ritual to turn pokemon into mindless beasts for wars. A few researchers in Sinnoh experimented to see what happens when pokemon drink nothing but the blood of their species and the results were shocking the experimented pokemon killed the scientist who was doing the experiments as the Pokemon's mind was turned to that of a feral and rabid animal.

Seeing this as a recommendation, Austin was even more convinced that this test was to find out trainers who could tame weapons of destruction not pokemon.

" Then how do we tame these ?"

" Call them out."

Austin said causing Green to frown as she remembered how those idiots were mauled by these team rocket pokemon.

" Trust me." Austin reassuringly said causing Green to release Zubat while Austin released Ekans.

Green took a step back as she gazed upon the two pokemon with caution.

Normally these pokemon would have ignored the humans or attacked them but from the shaking of their bodies, Green could tell they were afraid.

Afraid of what?

Green thought as she followed Ekans' gaze towards Austin who just smiled and patted the snake's head.

Even in this state of an animalistic mindset, Ekans and Zubat could sense the danger of Austin's aura. Following their instincts of survival, the two pokemon bowed to the predator in front of them; Austin.

" These guys are kind of cute, what to pat them ?" Austin said causing Green to hesitate as she patted Zubat's fuzzy fur while the bat pokemon sweated furiously as it felt Austin's crimson gaze looking at him hence why Zubat was trying to stay extremely still.

" Don't release this when I am not around," Austin commanded as he returned Ekans meanwhile Green nodded.

She could see the visible fear from Ekans and Zubat towards the red-eyed trainer if he wasn't around, she was sure those two would have attacked either her or each other.

"So why did you choose Ekans ?"

Green curiously asked as Austin just smirked in response.

" How cool would I look with an Arbok around my neck ?"

Austin lied as he had been doing a lot of research on stuff like this as he talked with Cynthia and Bill. He had concluded that this world truly didn't know the terror that an Arbok could inflict. With a lot of help from Bill and a lot of historical scripts of Fuschia City, Austin had figured out how to recreate a battle strategy involving an Arbok from the Pokemon manga specifically how Agatha in the manga used her Arbok. And now that he had the chance to add an ekans to his team, he isn't going to waste it.

" Well, I would say that you are an idiot if you allowed an Arbok near your neck."

" Pssh, what do you know about the passion for beauty ?"

Green raised an eyebrow at Austin's words before chuckling to herself.

The trainer from pallet Town was an interesting nut to crack.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Austin and Green had been eagerly awaiting their chance to speak with Instructor Lisa. They had just conquered their Pokémon, and they knew that she would be the one to report to. They had heard so much about her - about her power and her cunning - and they were both a little intimidated by her. Nevertheless, they knew that they needed to speak with her if they wanted to succeed as Team Rocket grunts.

They stood nervously in front of the captain's dormitory, waiting for her to appear. They had been there for several minutes, fidgeting and checking their watches, when suddenly Instructor Lisa and an Alakazam appeared before them. Austin and Green were momentarily stunned, but Austin quickly regained his composure and stepped forward to speak.

"Hello, Instructor Lisa," he said calmly. "My name is Alexander Jones, and this is Genie Green. We just conquered our Pokémon. I wanted to report it to you."

Lisa's eyes sparkled with interest as she looked over the two rookies. "Well, well, well," she purred. "Aren't you both just precious? Tell me, are you siblings?"

Green took Austin's hand and spoke up. "No, Instructor," she said firmly. "This is my boyfriend."

Lisa's eyes widened in surprise, and she reached out to pinch Austin's cheek. "My, my," she said with a smirk. "You two are full of surprises. But that's alright - I like surprises."

She turned to the Alakazam beside her and nodded. "Go fetch their rewards, please," she said. "Three Ultra Balls, and three Team Rocket member suits. And make it quick."

As the Alakazam disappeared, Lisa turned back to Austin and Green. "But don't think that this means you can rest on your laurels," she said sternly. "You'll need to be ready to fight with your Pokémon. In just one week, all the rookies will face off against each other to determine who is the strongest. And if you're the strongest of them all, you'll have the chance to participate in a much more prestigious tournament."

Her eyes glinted with excitement as she spoke. "The winner of that tournament will be rewarded with a Larvitar Pokémon Egg from the boss himself," she said. "And you'll also have the chance to become one of his direct subordinates. Not to mention, you'll be helping me to climb the ranks, indirectly. So make sure you give it your all, darlings."

"And just so you know," Lisa added with a sly grin, "I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do. You might just surprise me again."

' Those two; Jeffery and Jessica didn't know the existence of Giovanni, does she know it ?'

Austin thought as Lisa brushed her hair to the back of the ear and said," Seeing as you two conquered your Pokemon in such a short period, I have a special prize for you."

With a flick of her wrist, Lisa's Alakazam teleported them all to her office. The suddenness of the teleportation was jarring, and Lisa watched as Green's face turned a sickly shade of green. But to her surprise, Austin remained unfazed, his expression almost indifferent.

" ~Oh~ tough guy, now aren't we? I like tough guys ~" Lisa said as she brushed Austin's face with the back of her hand.

" What is the special prize ?" Green said with a frown as Lisa smirked and seductively walked towards her desk before she unbuttoned the top of her shirt as picked up a bullwhip from her desk.

She turned to see Austin and Green enveloped in psychic energy as Alakazam held the two in place.

Walking up to the indifferent Austin, Lisa smiled sadistically as she grabbed his face.

" ~Oh~ my dear, you seem to not understand what is going to happen to you right now ?"

" Oh, I know what is going to happen. You just can't resist my handsomeness."

Austin answered back as Lisa chuckled before whipping Austin across his face.

" Oww."

" Quite the sharp tongue, you have there. It's going to be screaming something else in a few minutes."

" Look you old hag, I am a ten-year-old physically, how is that even going to happen? I have a better solution, why don't you shave your head, lube a dildo up and shove, it, up, your, ass."

Austin's words caused Green to glance at him in shock.

" Ash, you have a plan right, you always have a plan, please tell me you have a plan !"

" I do but it won't be easy, we may not make it out alive but if a man doesn't have something worth dying for, what's the point of living ?"

" Hold up, your plan has us living right ?!"

" Yeah."

" Good, because I was about to tell you that you were on your own if it didn't, what's the plan ?"

" ~Oh~ you seem to have forgotten about me !"Lisa said in anger as she grabbed onto Austin's shirt.

" Still a ten-year-old, you old hag."

" Oh, don't worry my alakazam can psychically converge your blood into your dick."

" That sounds painful."

" Oh, don't worry your girlfriend is going to hear and see her boy turn into a man in Infront of her."

Green's heart was racing as she watched Lisa taunt Austin, her tears threatening to spill over at any moment.

"Hey, leave him alone!" she screamed, her voice laced with anger.

Lisa only laughed in response, her eyes glinting with malice. "Oh, what's the matter? Can't handle a little teasing?"

Austin, for his part, simply sighed, his eyes downcast as he tried to ignore Lisa's jabs. But even he couldn't keep his cool forever.

"You know," he said, his voice low and intense, "I always wanted to say these words."

Green looked at him quizzically, unsure of what he meant.

"What?" she asked.

"Begone Thot," he said, his voice rising with each word. As he spoke, his body erupted in a red aura, the energy pulsing around him like a fiery halo.

Green couldn't help but gasp as Austin's punch connected with Lisa's face. There was a sickening crunch as her nose shattered under the force of the blow.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Lisa's eyes snapped open, her head throbbing and her nose aching from the sharp pain that had awoken her. She tried to move, but found that she was being held by some kind of claw, suspended upside down in mid-air. A burning, throbbing sensation in the back of her throat made it difficult for her to breathe.

Looking around, she saw her partner Alakazam being held similarly, his eyes closed and his body limp. He seemed to be unconscious. Lisa struggled to focus, her mind foggy and disoriented. It took her a moment to register that she was in a dimly lit room, surrounded by computer screens and electronic equipment.

"Looks like you're awake," a voice said, drawing her attention. It was a woman's voice, cold and clinical. She was typing rapidly, her eyes fixed on the monitor.

"Who are you?" Lisa demanded, trying to sound strong and in control. But her voice came out as a weak croak.

The woman glanced at her, her expression unreadable. " Huh, I think you hit Lisa, a little too hard."

Lisa's eyes widened in shock. How did this stranger know her name? She tried to think back to the last few hours, but her memory was hazy.

"How do you know my name?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Green smirked, her eyes glinting with malice. "Let's just say I've been keeping an eye on you. And I must say, you've been quite a thorn in our side."

Lisa's heart sank as she realized that she was in the hands of her enemies. She tried to stay calm, to think of a way out of this situation.

" Stop playing around." A voice called out to Austin and before Lisa could say anything, she felt herself being turned around by the claw that held her.

"So, Lisa," Austin said, his voice cold and distant. "I have some questions for you. And I need answers."

Lisa gritted her teeth, refusing to show any fear. "You can ask me whatever you want. But you'll never break me."

Austin smiled thinly, his eyes gleaming with a cruel light. "Oh, I don't intend to break you. I have a much better idea."

He gestured to a shadowy figure lurking in the corner of the room. Lisa saw that it was a ghostly Pokémon, with glowing red eyes and a sinister grin on its face.

"Haunter, if you will," Austin said.

The Haunter floated towards Lisa, its arms were outstretched. She tried to move, to evade its grasp, but it was too fast. The ghostly Pokémon clasped her head in its hands, and Lisa felt a pink and black mist enveloping her as Haunter spat out Musharna who looked annoyed as hell that she had been convinced by Haunter to do this and now she was covered in mucus.

" Kekekeke !"

Inside the dream mist, Lisa found herself falling into an endless white void. She couldn't sense anything but herself, as her perception of time seemed to slow down. The white void was all around her, stretching out into infinity.

At first, Lisa tried to stay calm. She knew that this was a psychic attack and that she had to keep her wits about her. But as the minutes ticked by, she began to feel a growing sense of dread. The void was suffocating, a place of total sensory deprivation and isolation.

As time passed, Lisa's mind began to play tricks on her. She saw strange visions and heard phantom voices. Her sense of identity began to disappear, and she struggled to remember who she was. The dream mist was more powerful than anything she had ever experienced before.

Days passed, or maybe only minutes. Lisa lost all sense of time in the white void. She tried to cling to reality, to hold on to her sanity. But it was slipping away from her, like sand through her fingers.

At some point, she began to hallucinate. The white void was no longer empty but filled with strange, shifting shapes. She saw faces in the mist, some of them familiar, others not. They whispered to her, telling her secrets, promising her power.

Lisa knew that these were not real, that they were only the products of her mind. But they felt real, and that was enough to terrify her.

As the hallucinations intensified, Lisa felt herself slipping further and further away from herself. Her memories became jumbled, and her sense of self fractured. She no longer knew who she was, or what she had done to end up in this nightmare.

This was Austin's version of white room torture using Musharna's dream mist but unlike a normal white room, Austin's version was much more powerful.

...

Lisa's scream echoed through the dimly lit room, startling Austin and causing him to stumble back in surprise. Green, on the other hand, simply chuckled at him, enjoying the spectacle.

Haunter, who had been hovering nearby, looked on with an amused expression, its eyes gleaming with mischief.

Austin regained his composure and turned to face Lisa, who was now panting and shaking with the after-effects of the psychic attack. He approached her slowly, his camera at the ready.

"What's the password to your computer?" he demanded, his voice firm and commanding.

"Five one zero one nine five," Lisa replied, her voice shaky and hoarse.

Green, who had been busy hacking into the computer, looked up at Austin and gave him a thumbs up. "I got it," she said.

Austin turned back to Lisa. "Who is the boss of Team Rocket?" he asked, holding up his camera to record her answer.

"I don't know," Lisa replied, her eyes darting nervously around the room.

Austin let out a sigh of frustration. "Where is the Team Rocket headquarters?" he asked, his voice growing more impatient.

Again, Lisa shook her head. "I don't know," she said.

Austin pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to keep his temper in check. "What is beneath the Game Corner?" he asked, his voice low and menacing.

"Nothing," Lisa replied, her eyes downcast.

Austin was about to ask another question when a sudden thought occurred to him. "Can you contact Jessie and James?" he asked.

Lisa hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Yes, they are in Celadon City Rocket Base," she said.

Austin's eyes widened in surprise. "And where is that located?" he asked.

"Beneath the Celadon City Gym," Lisa replied.

As Austin processed this information, he couldn't help but wonder if Erika, the Gym Leader of Celadon City, was involved with Team Rocket in some way.

"And pray to tell, why is Erika doing this?" he asked, his tone sharp and accusing.

Lisa shook her head frantically. "I don't know!" she protested.

Austin sighed. "What do you know, then?" he asked, his patience wearing thin.

"The greatest sex position is 69," Lisa replied, a small smirk forming on her lips.

Austin stared at her in disbelief, his jaw dropping in shock. He was about to say something when Green interrupted him.

"Ash, come look at this!" she called out.

The tone of seriousness immediately snapped out of his jovial self before coming to Green's side while Haunter painted on Alakazam with Musharna slowly just watching Haunter's supposed to rise to be an artist.

The lit room was filled with tension as Austin and Green sifted through the files on Lisa's computer. The harsh glare of the computer screen illuminated the expressions of the two trainers as they stumbled upon something unexpected.

Austin's eyes widened in shock as he read through the various documents and files that were saved on the computer. The sheer amount of information was overwhelming, from schematics for new weapons and pokeballs to fake embezzlement funds stacked in the millions. But what truly took him aback were the receipts for drugs, alcohol, pokemon, and even human body parts, all listed under a single bill of landing off the coast of Vermillion city.

" Holy shit!" Austin couldn't help but exclaim as Green clicked on more files that were investigative reports on Team Rocket Rookies. He turned to Lisa, whose face was contorted with fear and exhaustion. If Team Rocket trusted just a Captain level to do all of these things, then what did Giovanni instruct his top executives and admins to do?

As they continued to sift through the files, Green suddenly let out a gasp and pointed at the screen. Austin's eyes followed her finger, and he saw a picture of a middle-aged man with slick black hair, wearing a business suit and glasses.

It took Austin a second to recognize the man as the creator of Mewtwo, Dr. Fuji.

Austin's shock was replaced with horror as he saw the name of the folder - "Team Rocket's Hit List."

"D-Dad," Green stammered, her voice barely above a whisper as Austin felt the world beneath his feet break.

' What did she just say? Dad ?'

Austin quickly turned to Green, who was quivering with fear and tears were streaming down her face.

Austin could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he tried to remain calm. He read through the hit list, trying to find any information that might help them, but the only thing that stood out to him was the fact that it contained the names of several high-ranking officials, including politicians and businessmen.

"Ash, why is my father there?" Green's voice was trembling, and her grip on Austin's shirt tightened.

"I don't know," he said softly, but Green didn't seem to hear him. She continued to cry and shake, repeating the same question over and over again. Austin's mind was racing, and he tried to think of a way to calm her down.

"Don't worry, we will figure this out," he said in a reassuring voice, wiping away her tears with his thumb.

Green slowly lifted her head, her eyes red and puffy from crying. She looked up at Austin with a mixture of fear and hope in her eyes, and he hesitated before embracing her. She buried her face in his chest, sobbing uncontrollably, and Austin held her tightly, trying to comfort her as best he could.

As they sat there, holding each other, Austin's eyes flicked back to the computer screen. He couldn't believe what he was seeing - the next image icon showed a child version of Green, but with a different name: Ambertwo.

"Wait, what?!"

...

Green sat in the dimly lit office of Lisa, her hands shaking as she scrolled through the files on the computer screen. Tears streamed down her face as she read the information in front of her. The room was quiet except for the sound of clicking keys and the occasional sniffle from Green.

Austin stood behind her, his eyes fixed on the screen. He had a look of shock and confusion on his face as he read the name on the file.

Green noticed a small icon of herself as a child. She clicked on it, and a new tab opened up. Her eyes widened as she saw a picture of a green similar to her when she was a child. She quickly read through the page and found that her date of birth alongside her name was wrong.

Austin looked at the name on the screen in shock. "Ambertwo," he murmured to himself.

He remembered that name from the uncut version of the first Pokemon movie. Dr. Fuji had made a clone of his daughter, Amber alongside Mew, creating Mewtwo and Ambertwo who were telepathically connected inside the test tube. Unfortunately, Mewtwo's genetic makeup and sheer force of power kept him alive after they had been born, but Ambertwo had shortly died, causing Mewtwo to lash out at the world in the anime, at least. He didn't know how those events played out in this world.

Suddenly, Green stood up, throwing her chair back. Austin jumped out of the way just in time. Green ran towards Lisa, her fist crashing into Lisa's gut.

"Tell me, why do you have those files?!" Green screamed out in anger and sadness.

The air in Lisa's office was tense as Green's fist connected with Lisa's gut. There was a loud thud, followed by a moment of stunned silence. Lisa stood there, blankly staring back at Green as if unsure of what had just happened. Austin, who had been standing nearby, quickly moved to catch Green as she fell to her knees, sobbing uncontrollably.

Lisa's expression remained unchanged as she answered, "Those are the files that had been recovered from New Island after it had been destroyed by Mewtwo. I was ordered to work alongside Dr. Sebastian in the recovery of the files."

But Green wasn't listening. Her mind was swirling with only one thought: destroyed, destroyed, destroyed. She cried silently for a few moments before a deep, guttural bellow echoed throughout the room.

Austin hugged her tightly, his hand gently grabbing onto her head. He could feel her tears soaking through his shirt, but he didn't care. He just wanted to help her. After a few moments, he pulled away slightly and spoke softly, "Green, I know it hurts, but please pull yourself together. Can you at least tell me what's wrong?"

But Green didn't answer. She continued to weep into his chest, her body shaking with sobs. Austin patted her back gently, trying to comfort her as best he could. He knew that saying anything else might open up a different can of worms, and he wasn't sure if that was a can of Weedle, Caterpie, or Diglett.

" No! I have to stay! I have to..."

Haunter and Musharna stood beside him, their expressions reflecting his concern.

Without a word, Austin reached out and patted Green's back, silently communicating his intentions. She tensed but didn't move away. Haunter watched her with worried eyes, while Musharna took a deep breath and blew a pink mist onto her face. Green eyes rolled back, and she slumped to the ground. Austin wasted no time, quickly scooping her up and throwing her over his shoulder

Austin stood up and his eyes narrowed as he stared at Lisa, taking in her garish makeup and brightly colored clothing. He resisted the urge to cringe at the sight of her, instead focusing on the task at hand.

He looked at Lisa, his expression serious. "Give me your Captain's badge and tell me everything you know about Team Rocket's illegal schemes."

Lisa nodded, and Austin reached out to take the badge from her. "My Captain's badge is in my second drawer behind my strap-on," Lisa said calmly. "As for the Team Rocket schemes, I am only in charge of being the middleman between the item shipments from other regions into Kanto."

"What are these items?" Austin asked, his voice low.

"Pokemon and human organs for sale on the black market, illegal discontinued PokeBalls that can capture powerful Pokemon while inducing a psychic hold on their minds, weapons, and industrial machinery."

Austin's jaw tightened. "Is Team Rocket bribing the police?"

"Yes, we have many undercover agents in various parts of the government, from politicians to judges."

Austin took a deep breath, trying to keep his anger in check. "Do you know about Giovanni?"

"The current runner-up for the Pokemon League President and the Minister of Finance?"

Austin felt his heart sink. This was going to be much more difficult than he'd anticipated. Team Rocket had their fingers in so many pies. "Shit," he muttered. "I need to rethink my plan for taking down Team Rocket. For now, let's cover up our trail."

"Musharna, wipe Lisa's and Alakazam's memories of us," he said, turning to the two Pokemon.

"I can block the human's memories, but Alakazam is a psychic," Musharna said. "He can destroy whatever blockers I put in."

"Any suggestions, then?"

"Hmm," Haunter said, her expression thoughtful. "We could have Haunter form a dark type membrane around a ghost type membrane that is around a psychic type membrane."

Austin blinked, then shook his head. "You guys...wait...you gals do that while I do something else."

Musharna and Haunter nodded, bumping fists or more like Musharna's heat getting hit by Haunter's claw as Austin took out an untraceable phone and dialed a number.

"Hello there, sir," Dr. Akihabara said smoothly. "Good news. I have successfully formed a Porygon prototype. While it is incomplete, we are but a step away from fully artificially creating life."

"Dr. Akihabara," Austin on the other end of the line said. "You can play God all you want, but I will be sending you a device through my Abra, and I want you to create a replica for me. Can you do that?"

"Sir, I should be able to, but what is that device?"

"It's a badge that acts as an identity card."

"Oh, sir, that's easy to make."

"Hmm. I am counting on you."

"Yes, sir. Thank you, sir."

Cutting off the call, Austin turned towards the computer and plugged in his USB. He copied and transferred files, his eyes scanning the screen. He was going to read every one of these files before revising his plan for Team Rocket.

[ Lisa's Office ]

The air was thick with tension outside Instructor Lisa's office. A grunt, wearing the standard olive green uniform, stood nervously outside the closed door, clutching a stack of papers. He could hear faint murmurs coming from within, but couldn't make out what was being said.

Suddenly, the door creaked open, revealing a figure dressed in a similar uniform but with a black cap pulled low over their face and a mask covering their mouth. The grunt couldn't make out their features, but he could sense their authority.

"Orders from the Instructor," the figure said, their voice muffled by the mask. "Don't bother her or, as she said, she will shove her hand so far up your ass that you will feel it in your throat."

The grunt's eyes widened in fear at the threat, and he took a step back, almost dropping the stack of papers in his hands. The figure didn't give him a chance to react before throwing two giant body bags over their shoulder and hurrying off to the east.

As the figure walked away, the grunt couldn't help but stare at the two ominous bags. He had heard rumors about Instructor Lisa's methods, but he never imagined they would involve burning two kids to death.

The sound of his footsteps echoed loudly through the deserted hallway as the grunt tried to follow the figure, hoping to catch a glimpse of their face or any clues that would shed light on the situation. But when he turned the corner, he found an empty hallway, devoid of any sign of the figure.

Confused and disoriented, the grunt took a moment to process what had just happened. Was he dreaming? Was any of it real? He couldn't be sure.

The environment around him added to his unease. The hallway was dimly lit, with flickering fluorescent lights that cast eerie shadows on the walls. The air was stale, and the scent of disinfectant lingered in the air.

As he stood there, lost in thought, a sudden sound made him jump. It was the sound of footsteps, coming from the direction he had just come from. He turned around, expecting to see the figure in the cap and mask, but all he saw was an empty hallway, stretching out before him like a dark abyss.

Shaken, the grunt turned on his heels and hurried away from the spot, the sound of his footsteps echoing loudly in his ears. He didn't know what had just happened, but he knew he didn't want to stick around to find out.

[ Celadon City - Hotel ]

Room A113 of the hotel was bustling with activity as Pokemon of all shapes and sizes carried out their daily routines. Yellow, was pacing back and forth while Lucario meditated next to her. Dragonair, with her sleek blue scales and piercing eyes, opened her eyes every so often to glance at Lucario.

Meanwhile, Scizor and Fearow were concocting a sweet and tangy slurpee in the kitchen as Butterfree was calling out for help from Pikachu who was luxuriating in a hot bubble bath in the sink ignoring the cries of Buttergree. Charmeleon, with his fierce expression and sharp claws, was locked in a stare-down with Kitty, the intimidating Beedrill. Ivysaur, the flower Pokemon, was busy tying up Ninjask and Wartortle, preventing them from moving around too much.

Clefable, the fairy Pokemon, was using his gravity powers to play with Chu-Chu the Pichu and Tenty the Tentacool, causing the two to float in mid-air. Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through the room, followed by the whooshing sound of psychic energy. Everyone stopped in their tracks as they watched a Team Rocket grunt wearing a cap and a mask slumping through the doorway with two body bags slung over his shoulder.

Yellow quickly rushed to the Rocket grunt's side, a purplish slime oozing from his face as he revealed an extremely sweaty and exhausted Austin. The body bags slipped from his grip and crashed onto the floor.

" Ash, are you okay? Were you hurt? What happened on the mission?" Yellow rattled off a litany of questions in rapid succession, her voice betraying her concern.

"Take a deep breath, Yellow. You look more tired than me," Austin said, offering her a gentle smile. Ivysaur promptly handed him a water bottle, which he chugged thirstily before dumping the rest over his head.

"Can someone open the body bag, please?" Austin asked, his voice strained as he peeled off the Rocket grunt uniform to reveal a white tank top underneath.

Yellow blushed at the sight of his sweaty physique. Austin flicked her forehead playfully, drawing a giggle from the trainer. With a wave of psychic energy, the body bags unzipped to reveal an unconscious Green and a grinning Haunter, while Musharna immediately floated out of the bag, causing the ghost type to cackle with delight.

Ivysaur, who had been standing nearby, recoiled at the smell emanating from the body bag, his nose scrunching up in disgust. With a grimace, he picked up Wartortle and Ninjask and tossed them into the smelly bag.

"Ash, what happened out there?" Yellow asked, rubbing her temples.

"We may need to make some changes to the plan," Austin said, his expression serious.

"Oh, can I help?" Yellow offered eagerly.

"Yes, I need your help. And Haunter, please stop harassing Musharna," Austin added with a wry smile.

As if on cue, Haunter let out a low growl, causing Musharna to shrink back with fear.

( ~ Grrrr ~ )

Hearing the sound of Austin's stomach, Yellow immediately picked up a tray on the table.

" You know, I knew that you will be hungry so I made potato donuts for you."

Austin was taken aback by both the dish that Yellow had cooked up.

( ~ Cling ~ )

Yellow pulled up the lid to reveal an empty bowl.

( ~ Burp ~ )

Yellow and Austin turned to see Charmeleon laying down with crumbs all around him.

Charmeleon saw Austin and Yellow looking at him as he pointed at Kitty who glared back.

Green slowly opened her eyes, feeling groggy and disoriented. She tried to sit up, but found herself on a soft couch, with a fluffy cushion behind her back. She glanced around the room, trying to remember how she got there. Her eyes fell upon Yellow, who was standing in the kitchen, boiling potatoes, while Austin was working on a laptop on the dining table.

Austin chuckled. "You know what I say, disrespecting donuts should carry a life sentence. Let's see if we go to jail today."

Yellow rolled her eyes. "Don't worry, you're not going to jail. I am just boiling potatoes to make them soft."

"Pfft, potatoes are done when they are soft, right? I have noticed that with men too," Austin said, grinning.

Yellow looked at him in confusion, while Lucario, who was lying beside Austin, threw a shoe at his head.

"Don't worry, Lucario. A lot of things start with potatoes - French fries, hash browns, famine...communism," Austin said, his face contorting into a look of disappointment.

Green stood up, revealing her presence to the room. Her mind was still reeling, but she couldn't ignore the nagging feeling that something was wrong.

"Oh, Green, you're finally awake. Want some potato donuts?" Yellow asked, a wide smile on her face.

Green ignored her and looked at Austin. " You know what I want to know?" she asked, her voice shaking.

Austin sighed as he knew that Green didn't need some flowery words, she needed to hear the truth he turned his laptop towards Green. "It's just as you suspect. After your disappearance, your parents looked for you for years, but they eventually gave up. Your father was approached by Team Rocket to join in the research on genetic cloning. He was successfully able to make a genetic clone of Mew, alongside a clone of his daughter, but that daughter wasn't able to survive for long. The clone of Mew, dubbed Mewtwo, broke out and destroyed everything on New Island. Everyone died a few months ago, including your father."

Green stood in the middle of the room, her eyes wide in shock as if she had just been punched in the gut. She couldn't believe what she had just heard.

"You're lying," she whispered, her voice trembling.

"You're Lying !"

The tension in the room was palpable as Green and Austin faced off against each other. Tears welled up in Green's eyes as she accused Austin of lying, while Yellow watched on, her lips quivering with emotion.

Austin sighed and turned his laptop towards Green, revealing files and journal entries from her father. The room fell silent as he clicked on the enter key, and a voice recording began to play.

[ ~ Sigh ~ What am I doing with my life? Helen has left to find our dead daughter. Why can't she understand that Green couldn't be alive after being kidnapped by a damn legendary Pokémon? ~ Sigh ~ Don't worry, pumpkin I will bring you back one day if it's the last thing I do. ]

Green's eyes widened as she heard her father's voice for the first time in years. But even with all the evidence presented in front of her, Green refused to believe it.

Why should she? Her whole life had been spent searching for her parents, and now it seemed like it was all for nothing.

The room was filled with an awkward silence as Green struggled with her emotions. Yellow sensed the blast of anger and sadness emanating from her friend, while Austin fidgeted with his cigarette, his eyes darting around the room.

" This is a lie!" Green shouted, her fists clenched as she was already storming towards the door. "I don't have time for this. I need to find out the truth for myself."

( ~ Clang ~ )

The sound of the door slamming shut echoed throughout the silent room.

" Well, shit hit the fan," Lucario exclaimed, breaking the silence.

Austin sighed and leaned back in his chair. "I guess that's that then."

But Yellow wasn't so quick to give up. "You need to go after her."

Austin raised an eyebrow. "Why? She doesn't want to be found."

"Because she's hurting, you idiot!" Yellow snapped, her voice rising in frustration. "Don't you remember what it's like to lose someone you love?"

Austin winced at her words, his mind drifting back to the day when he lost Raticate.

" It's not our place to speak for her. She can do whatever she wants. She can keep the money but ..."

" But what ?!" Yellow for the first time shouted at Austin shocking everyone even Austin as she grabbed onto Austin's collar.

" Are the mission more important than our friend ?"

" I am sure I made that clear when I left Brock and Misty. If we don't stop Team Rocket, millions will die."

"Stop lying to yourself," Yellow said firmly.

Yellow's grip tightened as she glared at Austin and said," Ash, look me in the eye and say that lie once more. You never cared what Team Rocket's end goal was, you only wanted revenge against them for killing Raticate."

" Yes! That's right so I am not some saint who is doing this for the greater good! What do you want me to do ?!" Austin yelled back as he clenched his jaw.

Yellow's eyes blazed with intensity. "I want you to go after her. Not because it's the right thing to do, but because it's the human thing to do. Because you care about her as a friend, and you don't want to see her suffer."

" ... " Austin stayed quiet as he couldn't refute Yellow's words or rather he didn't want to refute her words.

At the end of the day, he truly empathized with Green's situation.

" So, now what ?" Lucario curiously asked as Austin sighed.

" Let's go get her before she does something she will regret in the future."

Celadon City was bustling with activity as people went about their daily lives. The air was thick with the sounds of chatter, laughter, and the occasional sound of a Pokemon battle. In the northeastern part of the city, stood a four-story building that served as a private teleporting service for the wealthy and elite. It was a sleek and modern structure with a glass façade that glinted in the sunlight.

Green, sprinted towards the building with her Jigglypuff in tow. The small pink Pokemon trailed behind her, struggling to keep up. The building's entrance was a set of glass doors that slid open as Green approached. She stormed in, her eyes scanning the room for the teleportation office. The young woman manning the desk jumped at the sight of Green's ferocious expression.

"What can I do for you, miss?" she asked, her voice quivering.

"New Island, teleport now," Green barked, her impatience palpable.

"Right away, miss. That will be 1000 pokedollars," the woman replied, her hands shaking.

"What did you say?!" Green's voice rose to a dangerous pitch.

"Eep, t-that will be 900 pokedollars," the woman stammered, trying to backtrack.

Green's unblinking glare was enough to make the woman drop the price even further.

"500 pokedollars," Green sighed, placing a wad of cash on the counter. Her Jigglypuff rolled her eyes at her trainer's bargaining habits.

...

A few minutes later, Austin and Yellow burst into the office. The sudden entrance startled the young woman behind the desk, causing her to drop a pen.

"W-what can I do for you?" she stuttered, looking at Austin's piercing crimson eyes with fear.

"Did a young Burnett come to this place?" Austin demanded, his voice low and menacing.

"Y-yes," the woman replied, feeling a chill run down her spine.

"Where is she now?" Austin's voice grew even colder.

"I am sorry, but I can't disclose that information," the woman said, trying to maintain her composure.

Austin frowned and walked up to the woman's desk. He poked it with a single finger, and the desk cracked under the pressure, causing the woman to gasp in shock.

"Where is she?" Austin growled, his eyes burning with anger.

The sound of the desk cracking echoed through the room, making the woman tremble as she stared at Austin in front of her.

" ~ Gulp ~"

New Island, located between Cinnabar Island and the Orange Archipelago, was a desolate landmass with no signs of human habitation. It was a place where only the bravest of trainers dared to tread. Psychic energy swirled and popped as Green and her Alakazam materialized on the island's barren shores. The Alakazam handed her a small silver spoon, a psychic tool to break and signal for a return trip.

Green's piercing eyes darted around the desolate island in search of any signs of life.

"Jigglypuff, I choose you!" Green exclaimed, releasing the small pink Pokemon from her PokeBall.

Jigglypuff's cheerful face lit up as she floated towards Green. The tiny Pokemon was wearing her usual oversized pink scarf and had a marker in her hand, ready to doodle on any sleeping faces.

"Do your thing, Jiggly," Green said, pointing towards the horizon.

Jigglypuff began to inhale a large amount of air, inflating like a balloon. Green and Jigglypuff rose higher and higher into the air as they searched for any signs of life on the island.

"Jigglypuff!" Jigglypuff shouted, pointing toward the base of a nearby volcano.

Green nodded in agreement, and they began to float toward the volcano. As they approached, they noticed a small structure at the base of the volcano, partially hidden behind a thick layer of mist.

The air was thick with tension inside the Team Rocket lookout on New Island. The sound of the alarm echoed through the cramped space, jolting Xavier awake from his restless slumber. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and quickly rose to his feet, his heart pounding in his chest.

Xavier was a middle-aged man with short blonde hair and a scruffy beard. He wore a black uniform with the signature red "R" emblazoned on the chest, indicating his allegiance to Team Rocket. His hands trembled slightly as he made his way over to the main screen, where Green and Jigglypuff were hovering in the air.

Without hesitation, Xavier reached for his sniper rifle and aimed at Green's head. He knew that any intruder on the island was a threat to the team rocket's plans, and he was determined to eliminate them at all costs.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Xavier spun around, his grip on the rifle tightening as he searched for the source of the interruption. But before he could react, a fist crashed into his face, knocking him out cold.

Austin looked at the screen and saw Green and Jigglypuff floating in the air.

Meanwhile, Abra, the psychic Pokémon, was floating lazily in the air. His eyes wandered around the room before settling on a small nail hole in the wall.

"Oh, shit, there it is," Abra muttered to himself.

Austin raised an eyebrow at Abra's sudden outburst.

"What's wrong, Abra?"

Abra used his psychic powers to fill the nail hole with a tissue.

"Human, I'm filling more holes than a male pornstar today," he replied, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Are you having a seizure or something?" Austin asked, placing a hand on Abra's head.

Abra flopped to the ground, his eyes rolling back in his head.

"Can we get pizza after this?" he groaned. "This has to be my pay for being your overworked, slave-trading tyrant."

Austin couldn't help but sweat-drop.

"Just get me there, and I'll get you your damn pizza, you drama queen," he replied, rolling his eyes.

Abra let out a satisfied sigh.

"Yeah, baby, that's what I'm talking about."

The base of the volcano was a desolate wasteland, with the ruins of a burned-down building lying in shambles at its feet. Team Rocket had been excavating the debris for some time, but all work had stopped when Rhydon rushed towards an inflated Jigglypuff and blasted it away. A team rocket member shouted for the thief to give up, but to everyone's surprise, a voice called out, "Ok, fine I give."

Green, the infamous Pokémon thief, walked out of the trees with her hands up. The Team Rocket member smirked as he approached her, asking, "So, tell me, who sent you here?"

"Mister, I was just lost. Would you please show me the way?" Green asked, her voice laced with innocence, and her hands clasped beneath her chest, making it bounce up and down. The Team Rocket member couldn't help but gulp at the sight, but before he could respond, Green pulled down her shirt, revealing two Pokéballs in place of her chest, which opened up to reveal a Wartortle and a Nidoran.

Without a moment's hesitation, Wartortle crashed a brick break on the team rocket member's head, while Rhydon stood in shock at the sudden turn of events. However, before it could process anything, a hyper beam from Jiggly crashed into its body.

Green let out a sigh and turned her attention toward the giant pile of rubble and ruins in front of her. She placed her hand on a giant piece of concrete and tried to remove it, but it was too heavy. Her Pokémon came to her aid, and together they slowly but surely removed the piece of concrete. The sound of concrete hitting the ground echoed loudly, and a dust cloud built up all around them.

Green coughed a few times before looking around at everything else. "So, do you plan to remove all of this?" a voice called out. Green turned to see Austin and Yellow standing there. Austin had a cigarette in his mouth, while Yellow had a tray of potato donuts. Lucario and Pikachu were enjoying their donuts with chocolate and ketchup on top.

"Leave!" Green screamed before picking up another piece of concrete.

"This is a waste of time," Austin said, causing Green to look back at him and scream out in frustration.

" Then what do you suggest I do? My father is buried there, waiting for me to come to save him..." Tears followed down Green's face as her voice cracked.

"Green, are you sure this is the right place? I mean, how do you know for sure?" Austin asked cautiously, trying not to upset her.

Green froze, her eyes suddenly welling up with tears before, Green's emotions boiled over, and she began hitting the concrete with all her might. She screamed out her frustration, asking why she had to suffer so much, why she had to lose everything she had ever known.

Austin caught her bleeding hand as she cried, pulling her close to him as she tried to regain control of her breathing.

"I don't know for sure, okay?" she cried. "But I have to try. Ever since I escaped that madman, I didn't have a home. My Home and My family were all gone when I tried to find them. This is the only clue that I have to find them. I can't just sit around and do nothing while my father is out there somewhere, waiting for me to save him."

Green struggled to pick up before Austin and Yellow's hands joined in to help.

( ~ Thud ~ )

As the stone crashed into the ground, Green looked at Austin and Yellow who smiled.

"If you are so adamant about finding your father, then we'd like to help," Austin said.

Green was taken aback by their offer, but she quickly composed herself and asked, "Why?"

Yellow hugged her tightly and said, "Because that's what friends are for. We help each other when we need it."

Tears started to well up in Green's eyes, but she pushed them back, determined not to show any weakness.

"I'm not going to pay you for this," she said, trying to put on a brave front.

"I know you're not going to pay us, Green," Austin said, a mischievous glint in his eye. "But that's okay. We wouldn't want the IRS coming after us for taking your stolen money."

Green rolled her eyes, but couldn't help but laugh at Austin's joke.

"Oi, love birds, I found something beneath this rubble," Lucario shouted from a distance, causing Green to jump in surprise.

Yellow blushed at Lucario's comment, while Austin asked, "What did you find?"

"I found a room hidden underneath," Lucario said, pointing toward a giant pile of debris.

Austin put his hand on Green's shoulder, who looked ecstatic at the news. "Green, if this is your father, are you sure you're ready to meet him?" he asked in a serious tone, still haunted by the memory of holding onto Raticate's corpse.

Green took a deep breath and nodded. She knew that this was her chance to find out what had happened to her father.

Yellow released all her Pokémon alongside Austin, ready to help Green uncover the hidden room. "Guys, we need to start removing all of this. Are you ready?!" Austin shouted out, taking charge of everyone.

Green looked at his back, admiring his leadership skills. "He's amazing sometimes, isn't he?" Yellow said, noticing Green's admiration.

Green nodded absentmindedly, lost in thought. She couldn't help but feel grateful for her friends' support. "Please don't be mad at him for what he said before. Out of all of us, he knows what it's like to lose someone close, and he didn't want you to go through the pain," Yellow said, trying to reassure Green.

" Is this why he is after team rocket ?"

" Yeah."

[ 7 Months Before Present Day ]

[ New Island - Team Rocket Research Facility ]

The team rocket research facility on New Island was a massive structure made of cold, grey steel that rose from the rugged terrain like a fortress. The wind howled outside, and rain lashed against the walls, but inside, the scientists were hard at work, bent over their computer screens and scientific instruments.

The room where Mewtwo was being held was a sterile, brightly lit chamber with white walls and a high ceiling. The container holding the psychic Pokemon was made of thick, reinforced glass and was surrounded by an array of high-tech equipment. The scientists moved about the room, their white lab coats rustling as they worked.

One of the scientists, Dr. Smith, was a middle-aged man with thinning hair and wire-rimmed glasses. He approached the container, his hand hovering over the glass as he peered inside.

"Where's Dr. Fuji?" he asked, his voice echoing in the empty room.

Dr. Fuji was one of the lead scientists on the Mewtwo project, and his absence was notable.

A younger scientist, Dr. Lee, turned to Dr. Smith. "He's probably in his lab working on his robot," she replied.

Dr. Smith shook his head. "Why is Dr. Fuji so obsessed with making a robot?" he muttered. "We're making life here. Isn't that enough?"

Dr. Lee shrugged. "I think he's just trying to find a way to cope with his daughter's death," she said softly.

As the scientists discussed Dr. Fuji's tragic past and the potential ramifications of their research, a third scientist, a tall man with a thick beard, scoffed at their sentimentality. "Oh, please," he said, rolling his eyes. "The man's gone mad. He's more obsessed with his robots than with anything else."

A few of the other scientists nodded in agreement, and some even snickered at the thought of Dr. Fuji's supposed descent into insanity. "Maybe he'll build a robot to replace his daughter," one of them joked, and they all laughed, cruelly mocking the man's tragedy.

But their laughter was cut short by a sudden cracking sound.

At first, they thought it was just the sound of thunder from the storm outside, but as they turned to look at Mewtwo's container, they saw that the reinforced glass was beginning to fracture. The scientists froze, their faces drained of color, as they realized the implications of what was happening.

The glass splintered and cracked, and the Pokemon's eye opened up, glowing bright red.

The sound of shattering glass filled the room, and the scientists scrambled for cover. The equipment around Mewtwo beeped frantically as the psychic energy radiating from the Pokemon grew stronger and more chaotic.

Dr. Smith tried to shout out a warning, but he was drowned out by the roar of Mewtwo's power. The lights flickered, and the air crackled with electricity. It was as if the very fabric of reality was unraveling.

Suddenly, with a blinding flash of light, Mewtwo burst out of his container, shattering the glass and sending shards flying through the air. The scientists fell to the ground, their lab coats billowing around them.

Mewtwo's imposing figure dominated the room, towering over the trembling scientists as his psychic power radiated out in waves. With rippling muscles and a fierce gaze, he fixed his intense stare on the frightened humans.

"God, you say?" he sneered. "How quaint of you to assume that your creation could ever be a deity. Your feeble minds cannot even begin to comprehend the true extent of my power. I am more than a mere mortal, more than a mere creation. I am a force to be reckoned with, an unstoppable entity that will not be bound by your mortal limitations."

"You see," he continued, his voice dripping with malice, "you humans are nothing but playthings to me. Your feeble attempts at creating life are nothing compared to what I have achieved. I am the pinnacle of creation, the ultimate being, and you will bow before me."

"So, do not dare to call me a God," Mewtwo concluded, his voice booming with an otherworldly authority. "For I am far beyond your limited understanding of such things. I am Mewtwo, and I will not be questioned."

The ruins of Team Rocket's research facility on New Island lay barren, the remnants of the once-great laboratory scattered across the landscape. The air was thick with dust and debris, making it difficult for the trainers and their Pokemon to see clearly. The sound of crashing rubble echoed in the air as Scizor and Beedrill worked tirelessly to clear the path ahead.

As they made their way deeper into the ruins, a feeling of unease began to settle in. The once-thriving laboratory now lay in shambles, its machinery torn apart and its walls covered in strange symbols. The Pokemon trudged on, each step sending up clouds of dust that swirled around them like ghostly apparitions.

Lucario led the way, his piercing blue eyes scanning the area for any signs of danger. Pikachu scampered ahead, his cheeks crackling with electricity as he lit up the darkness. Clefable and Musharna floated behind, their gentle auras offering a sense of calm amidst the chaos. Ivysaur and Wartortle followed closely, using their vines and water jets to clear the way.

Ninjask flitted ahead, his wings creating a soft whirring sound as he scouted the area. Rhyhorn plodded along, his sturdy frame making him impervious to the falling rubble. Shedninja trailed behind, his body blending into the shadows as he kept watch for any threats. Dragonair and Dratini hovered above, their long, slender bodies weaving in and out of the debris.

Charmeleon and Tentacool worked together, their combined fire and water attacks melting away the rubble. Pichu and Oddish huddled close, their small forms offering little protection against the danger around them. Abra and Jigglypuff kept close to their trainers, their timid personalities no match for the eerie atmosphere of the ruined lab.

As they cleared the rubble, they eventually stumbled upon an iron door sealed shut. Lucario stepped forward, using his powerful force palm to blast the door open. As the dust settled, a chilling sight met their eyes.

Rows upon rows of incomplete robots lay scattered throughout the laboratory, their metal frames twisted and torn. The air was thick with the scent of oil and rust, and the sound of creaking machinery filled the air. The sight was unsettling, and even the brave Pokemon shuddered at the sight.

Austin's eyes widened as he took in the scene before him. "What happened here?" he muttered, his voice barely audible over the sound of machinery.

Yellow shivered, her eyes scanning the room nervously. "It's like something out of a horror movie," she whispered, her voice trembling.

Green's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at her father's lifeless body lying on the bed. She took a hesitant step forward, her hand reaching out to touch him. The room was eerily silent, save for the sound of her labored breathing. The faint humming of the machinery and the rhythmic beeping of the monitors filled the air, reminding Green of the cruel reality of her father's demise.

She couldn't hold back her tears anymore as she threw herself onto her father's unmoving form, clutching him tightly. The glasses covering his eyes slipped off and landed on the bedspread with a soft rustle. Green took in his still form, his body cold and unresponsive. She buried her face into his chest as if hoping to find some sign of life, some shred of hope.

"Father, please wake up," she pleaded, her voice shaking with emotion. "I'm here, I'm here with you. Please don't leave me, don't go away." Her sobs echoed through the room, each one tearing at Austin and Yellow's hearts.

Austin held onto Yellow's hand tightly, tears streaming down his face as he watched Green's heartbreak. Yellow was crying as well, her hand clasped over her mouth, unable to find any words to comfort her friend. The Pokemon in the room looked on with heavy hearts, knowing that their friend was going through one of the toughest moments of her life.

As Green realized that her efforts were futile, she backed away from her father's body, her body quivering with despair. She picked up one of the small mechanical devices that lay on the nearby tray, and placed it on Dr. Fuji's chest, hoping it would help bring him back to life. But as the device fell to the ground, its small metallic clang resonating through the silence, Green's heart broke a little more.

She looked around the lab, taking in the strange machinery and the incomplete robots, all bearing the signs of her father's failed experiments. The scene only added to her grief and desperation. She picked up another device and placed it on her father's chest, followed by another and another, in a futile attempt to revive him.

Austin and Yellow looked on in tears as they saw a child desperately trying to ignore the cruelty of the world in a desperate attempt to ignore that their loved one was gone.

"Ash," Yellow whispered, her voice trembling with fear as she pressed her head against Austin's chest. Her hands shook as she tried to contain her sobs.

Austin reached out and gently stroked her hair, trying to offer some comfort to the distraught girl. "It's okay, Yellow," he said softly.

Green took her father's cold hand in hers, her heart breaking as she realized that this was the end. She hugged his hand to her chest, her body shaking with sobs.

Dr. Fuji's ring suddenly began to glow, and an incomplete robot sprang to life beside Dr. Fuji. It began to shake and play a familiar tune, one that Green recognized instantly. It was her favorite song from childhood, the one her father used to sing to her when she was sad.

As the recording of her father's voice played, Green's tears flowed freely down her cheeks. She listened intently to his words, trying to hold onto every last one.

"Green, my sweet lily," her father's voice said. "Daddy and mommy miss you so much. I have found myself in quite a sticky situation in this rubble. I know I don't know if you are alive or even if you will hear this, but please forgive your old man for giving up."

Green's heart ached at the thought of her father being alone in his final moments.

"Your mother was strong, much stronger than me," her father continued. "While I gave up, your mother kept looking for you. I tried to bring you back in my twisted way, but I lost myself in those years. To think that I am dying breath, I'll finally regain my mind."

Green clung to her father's hand, her body wracked with sobs.

"My sweet lily, I know I won't be there to walk you down the aisle to that bastard who wants to take you away from me. I am sorry. I wasn't much of a father in your life, so if you're listening, remember this. We don't follow fate, we make it. Don't let anyone say that we follow a single path in life. We don't. We follow various paths with various outcomes as we see fit. Don't let anyone decide what you must do. You must do it for yourself because if not, what makes you better than a machine?"

Green couldn't help but smile through her tears at the memory of her father's words.

"I know a million words wouldn't bring you back, I tried," her father's voice continued. "I know a million tears wouldn't bring you back, I cried. Please don't cry for me. I want you to walk forward with your head held high. Green, I am sorry. Daddy gave up, but mommy didn't. Mommy is out there looking for you. Green, wherever you are in the world, please forgive this old man for giving up."

Green's heart felt heavy as she listened to her father's final words. She couldn't believe that the man who had always been there for her was gone, leaving her alone in this desolate place. She wished she could tell him that she forgave him, that she loved him, but it was too late. All she could do was cling to his hand and weep, letting the tears flow freely.

The lab where Dr. Fuji lay was dimly lit, the only light coming from the faint glow of the ring on his finger. The cold metal of the lab table was a sharp contrast to the warmth that had once emanated from her father's body. The air was filled with the smell of chemicals and the faint hum of machines.

As she clutched her father's hand, Green's mind was filled with memories of their time together. She remembered the days of her childhood when he would take her to explore the wilderness, the nights they spent stargazing, and the times he would play with her hair while they watched TV. She would give anything to have those moments back again.

The silence of the new Island was shattered by a howl of pain and sadness as Green released all her pent-up emotions. The mask of control and confidence that she had worn for so long finally crumbled away, revealing the broken girl deep within who longed for her father and mother. It was a heartbreaking sight, and even the toughest among them were moved to tears.

" Hikkkkeh !"

Green's crying was amplified as she was hugged by Austin, Yellow, and the others. The sound of her pain echoed through the lab, filling the silence with sorrow. Her tears flowed like a never-ending river, and her sobs wracked her body with every breath.

[ Author Note ]

[ So I wanted to address why I connected with Dr. Fuji who created Mewtwo and Green from the manga. Btw, Green's parents are alive in the manga.

In the Let's Go games, we meet Green after capturing Mewtwo, only knowing that she was also looking for them and that she gets upset with your character and attacks them after hearing that you have already caught Mewtwo. However, she also knew about Mewtwo's identity, when only the researchers who made him ( , etc...) and Giovani should have known this information. I thought her actions were normal enough since she didn't catch them first, and that she only knew about them for convenience, but then after the fight, she acts like a crazy person and attempts to capture you in hopes of getting Mewtwo, and behaves like she doesn't understand the boundary between pokemon and human, and for some reason, she is fixated on getting Mewtwo, leaving me to think, why?

You can re-battle her, but there isn't much of a difference in terms of her behavior or dialogue, she still doesn't behave normally, and just wants Mewtwo from you. What got me interested though, was Blaine's dialogue after fighting with Green.

He says the following... "Hah! Well done, returning here to my Gym! You're the one who retrieved the key to this Gym from the Pokemon Mansion! Did you see anything interesting while you were in there? That place still holds the remnants of my old friend's research! By the way, I've been hearing an interesting rumor floating around recently... You wouldn't happen to know a young lady named Green, would you? ...Hmph, well, it's not as though I know the whole story anyway." then he quickly changes the topic to re-battling you again.

That's when things started clicking in my mind.

Going back to the anime, in the Mewtwo's Origin special that plays before the first movie, we are introduced to a little cloned girl who becomes close friends with Mewtwo along with the 3 cloned starters named Amber, who is also the cloned daughter of . Within the realm of the games, Green was that little girl, and she parallels Amber in the anime universe.

In the basement of the Mansion in Let's Go, we also find Mewtwo's tank, along with four others, one for each of the starters, and another for Green. This would also explain Green's odd behavior, her knowledge of Mewtwo, Blaine's dialogue, and the reason why she is so adamant about getting Mewtwo from the player, she just wants to be reunited with her childhood/clone hood friend, and trust me, if I could give her Mewtwo, I would.

But that's just a theory and I wanted to include this in my fanfic where Green from the manga and the games are connected in a way that doesn't contradict canon but makes her character even more nuanced than it is. so how do you like this new Ambertwo, green and Mewtwo reveal? I loved it.]
