I do not own pokemon or any reference I may make, they belong to their respective owners.
Characters are based of me and my friends with a few twists.
Author's Note: To those who ask, no the pokemon do not talk and the humans do not understand them, I, the author, am only translating what they are saying.
"Get Up!" a voiced yelled into my ear, waking me up. I opened my eyes, only for them to be burned by the light.
"Who the hell do you think you ar-" I stopped, noticing two Team Rocket members, with Koffing and a Grimer standing in front of me. "Aw crap"
"Come on, your not the only hostage we gotta take, so Move It!" one said, loudly at the last part.
"Screw you" I jumped for my bag, but was stopped by the Koffing. "Nice try" I heard the Rockets mock.
I looked at the Koffing, then at the Rockets. "How do I get outta this?"
A noise was then heard from the bathroom. The door swung open and Konata came out. We stared at her for a bit.
I smiled. "That'll work"
I peered over the wall's corner. "No one in sight"
I continued down the empty hall way, reaching the end and having to take another turn. I took one step around the corner before seeing something big fly past me; I turned to see an unconscious Rocket member, brutally beaten, on the ground. I quickly turned around; just too narrowly avoid an incoming kick, a loud crack made by the foot hitting the wall.
Dropping onto my bottom I raised my hands in defense. "Don't hurt me!" I cried in fear.
"Eddy?" a female voice said, a familiar female voice.
Looking up, there stood Emily and on the wall was a hole made by the impact of her foot.
"Man you are such a wimp" she said.
"Shut up"
"Oh nice come back. So any idea what's going on? All these guys showed up and took people hostage, but I took care of them" she said smugly.
I looked back at the beaten man. "I see... Anyways, I don't know what's going on, but it must be big if Team Rocket is taking hostages"
She turned and walked back the way she came.
"Yo wait up!" I followed after her.
Walking through the empty streets of Saffron City, the only thing ever in sight were the few Rockets patrolling, but they were not much trouble.
"Stop following me." she told me.
"We're heading the same way, so why not go together?"
"Because I don't like you."
"Same."
"I'm going towards the gym to ask the gym leader to help." she explained.
"I'm going to the dojo to get the people there to help."
"Then go around the other way."
"I don't know another way."
"Maybe if you spent less time messing around, you would know your way around."
"Of course you know about getting around."
Next thing I know I was punched into a wall.
"Jackass!" She yelled.
"Bitch!" I retaliated.
Before another word was said, two sharp blades were held in front of our necks. We looked at our attacker and saw it was a green mantis with scythes for hands. Scyther.
"Wow there, let's not get hasty" I said, scared. Emily on the other hand only tensed up, ready to fight.
"Scyther stand down" a familiar voice was heard. The Scyther withdrew his arms and jumped back to his trainer, Salem. I held my neck.
"Damn Salem, scared the crap outta me"
"Oh you're here too, well at least you're more tolerable" she said slightly disappointed.
Salem's brow rose, finally noticing her. "I see you're doing well." he said dryly. "So it looks like Team Rockets has taken over the city."
"So how'd you get in then?" I asked.
"Oh I had Alakazam teleported me in"
'Wish Konata knew teleport' a jealous thought went through my head. Leaving that aside we continued to the dojo. "Well, I'm gonna go round up people and then stop them then before they get what they want. I've had to deal with them too many times." recalling Mount Moon, the Power Plant, and the Pokemon Tower just angered me.
While walking, we got closer to one of the city gates, but something was wrong. Screaming was heard from inside the gate.
"N-N-No, Please Don't, I-I-I'll D-Do Anything, Ple-" the cries were stopped by some sort of muffling and some sort of grunting. I didn't really know. The noise soon stopped and someone came out the door, holding a pokeball. He looked at us and waved.
"Hey guys" Jon greeted. Emily groaned.
"Great, another one of you weaklings"
Jon looked at her confused. "Um, why's she here?"
I shrugged. "We're probably gonna need all the help we can get"
"Help for what?"
"Team Rockets taken over Saffron City, so we're going to stop them, I guess." Salem explained. "So I suggest we send out fast pokemon to survey the area before proceeding to the dojo for help"
"I say we should take the alleys around town, instead of having our pokemon run around and get spotted" Emily replied.
Our responses to her were sending out our pokemon. What came out were three spiky yellow dogs, which looked at each other.
Emily just stared before hitting her forehead with her palm. "Of course you three would have the same pokemon. Well they say birds of a feather flock together"
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.
"It means that people that have the same interest usually stick together" Jon explained.
"Okay, but there aren't any birds here" I was still confused. They all glared at me.
"That's it, I work better alone" with that said, the female left into an alley way.
'Is he normally this stupid?' one of the Jolteon's asked Yoruichi.
He smiled at him. 'Yup!'
"Well, we don't need her, so anyways you guys need to scout the area, tell us if it's safe" I explained to the three Eeveeloutions.
They nodded and sped off. Within in a minute or two, they returned, signaling us that it was safe. We followed the Jolteons, who were running through the safe areas of the city, until we reached the dojo.
"Why did we stop here?" Salem questioned.
"To get back-up. As long as they weren't caught, then we're good." I opened the front doors and saw that the Jolteons hadbeen caught, and all the Team Rocket members turned their their attention to us.
"We're good, eh?" Jon repeated sarcastically, crossing his arms.
"Well, that's a little embarrassing." I said scratching the back of my head. "Um, You're All Grunts Right?" I yelled to them. Surprisingly, I got a yes. I sighed in relief.
"Then we're good"
"Don't Underestimate Us!" they yelled back, releasing their pokemon. The usual Rattatas, Raticates, Grimers, Zubats, Golbats, Machops, and some Magnemites.
"Huh, they have something new on their side" I said admiring the Magnemites. I tossed a pokeball out front, calling out my new party member. "Go Little Mac"
Hitmonchan came out, pounding its gloves together. Jon and Salem called out their pokemon, sending out a yellow fox with nine tails and this spiky ghost thing that had two creepy eyes and a mouth, with two hands floating in front. The first was a Ninetales and the latter was a Haunter.
I quickly looked over my pokedex for Little Mac's attacks.
"Mach Punch"
"Flamethrower"
"Shadow Ball"
Before anything could happen, Little Mac's smashed his fist into a Rattata, sending it flying into some of the other pokemon. The Magnemites flew behind him, charging an attack, but were engulfed by a stream of fire. The Magnemites dropped as dark crackling spheres flew over head, striking the air born enemies.
"Bullet Punch and then switch into a Fire Punch!"
Once again Little Mac struck with incredible speed, knocking a Raticate back and then his fist was covered in flames, swinging it around and punching a Machop. A few of the Rocket's pokemon took the opportunity the strike with boxer's back turned.
"Extrasensory!" Jon called.
The pokemon were frozen in place, their faces cringing as their bodies distorted slightly.
"Dark Pulse"
Salem's ghost pokemon released a dark wave of energy, knocking down the frozen pokemon. All that the Rockets had left was a single Golbat.
"Thunder Punch and Ice Punch"
Little Mac's right hand sparked with electricity, while his left was covered in an icy mist. He jumped over the bat pokemon, bringing his right fist down on top of Golbat, smashing it into the floor; he then quickly landed and brought his other fist down on his foe, knocking it out.
"Told ya we're good."
"Well what do you know, you were right."
The Rocket's returned the last of their pokemon and ran out of the building.
"Thank you for saving us" we turned and saw all the martial artists were bowing to us.
"No problem." Jon replied.
Something was missing. "Um, where's the King?" their leader was nowhere to be seen.
"He is in another room, battling their leader"
"We better go check it out." Salem said, going ahead of us.
"Since when was he the leader?"
"I don't know"
Jon and I walked after him.
As we entered the room, we were shocked to see the Karate King being punched and beaten in a fight, his pokemon both lying on the ground and next to them was a Hitmonlee. The man winning the fight was wearing black tights, with a black cape and mask. It was the man who attacked me back in the Pokemon Tower. The leader of the Rocket squad. He finally noticed us and greeted us.
"Hello again, it's been a while."
"You know this guy?" Jon asked.
"Sort of."
"So what's his name?" Salem then questioned.
"Well, it's pretty stupid, I don't wanna say it."
"My name is Black Shadow, remember it well!" he proudly said.
"Huh, it is pretty stupid..." my two friends said.
"Told ya."
A grunt was heard. Black Shadow had kicked the Karate King in the ribs.
"Silence or else this fool's injuries shall get worse!" he grinned. "And if you do not like to call me by this name" he grabbed his mask with his hand. "Then you may call me by my other"
He pulled off his mask and I gasped.
Yo it's been awhile and I say things are starting to work up. We've seen what everyone is capable of and I'm trying cliffhanging; let's see how long I last.
Anyways, can you guess who that man is? If you can't then you need to pay more attention or I have to work more on my writing skills, either way.
