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.
"How are you beating me?" a lone Rocket asked, returning his fallen pokemon and calling out another. A Raticate. The poor thing looked like it was already in a few fights and that made my blood boil.
"Firaga finish it with Thunder Fang"
He snarled at the rat and ran forward with his teeth sparking. The Raticate tried to move, but wasn't quick enough to avoid being bitten by Firaga and fainted.
"Just move so I can get to your boss, it's been a very long day"
"Um"
"What" I snapped, my temper rising.
"You took the wrong way"
"What?" I looked around the long corridor and there was no where else to continue. "Ain't this the last floor?"
"Yes, but you took the wrong way. You need to take a teleport pad to get to the right eleventh floor area"
"You're kidding me?" I was now completely irritated. Firaga looked quite unhappy as well.
"I-I'm not" the lone Rocket was scared now.
"So your telling me that I got to the last floor, but I took the wrong way" he nodded. "And the right way is to take some teleport pad" he nodded again. "And what do these pads look like?"
"T-They are tiles that look different from the rest of the floor"
I turned around; pissed off having to now go down the building I had just fought my way up to look for some weird teleport pad. Taking the elevator to the tenth floor, I re-entered to see the fight between the stranger who helped me and the Rockets. With his Golduck now was a pokemon I didn't recognize. It had thick red armor, crab-like claws, with yellow-and-black eye-like patterns on them, a pair of retractable, two-lobed wings, and was mainly red, except for the black on its neck, chest, and abdomen, and yellow eyes. The stranger noticed me.
"What are you doing back here?"
"Well it turns out that I gotta take some stupid teleport pad to get to where their boss is"
"Think you can handle him?"
"Um, I don't know, but someone's gotta try and stop him"
He nodded and pointed to the weird tile he appeared on earlier.
"That is a teleport pad; we'll finish up h – where are you going?"
"You seem to be fine"
"It would go a lot faster with your help"
"Yeah, probably, but I'm gonna leave anyways"
"You wimp, don't leave me to do all this work!" he yelled angrily.
"He's retreating. Get him before he gets away" a Rocket yelled.
"I'm not retreating; I'm advancing towards future victory" I claimed.
I ran to the pad and stepped on it, barely hearing the stranger calling me to wait, but I was already being blinded by a light. When it faded, I noticed I was in a different room; around me were tables, some computers, and more pads. I overheard voices on the other side of the door in front of me.
"Run he's too strong"
"Ahahahaha. That's right, runaway, I'm too powerful for you all" a familiar voice bragged about his power.
"Well, glad to hear Jon doing perfectly fine. Now which one should I take" I looked over at the two other pads and I decided to go with the one on the right of me. After another blinding light, I entered another area, once again hearing more voices.
"YOU ATTACK THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY AND WORSE OF ALL YOU ATTACK OUR DOJO!" sounded like a student of the Saffron Dojo.
"You guys got guts to take us had on"
From my safe spot on the other side of the wall, all I heard was what sounded like a battle field, with people and pokemon all attacking each other.
"Sounds like I don't have to be here"
Turning around, I was lucky with not having to choose between multiple pads, being there was only one. I teleported to another floor, hearing another set of Rockets complaining how strong who ever they were facing was.
"Thank for the help, they were actually giving me some trouble" the voice of Salem was heard.
"No to thank me, you helped me out, its only natural that I helped you out"
"Well glad the King is back on his feet"
"Damn, these guys are too strong" a Rocket whined.
"Believe me, we'd rather be here. On the other floor we were called too, there the Gym Leader and two other chicks"
"Besides the Gym Leader, that doesn't sound too bad"
"It worse than here, one of the others is ridiculously stronger than the Gym Leader and the other girl is kicking everyone's ass herself"
Their conversation just continued like that so I stepped onto another pad. This time I appeared in a box room, with two doors and no other pads.
"I hate choices"
I unlocked a door, prepared to fight, but luckily there were no Rockets. It was a room with beds.
"Hello, anyone here"
"W-W-Who Are Y-You!" a frightened female voice was heard.
"Don't worry, I'm not a Rocket"
A head appeared from one the beds. On top of the head was a nurse hat, which covered the top of the pink hair the woman had.
"Crap, even here" In front of me was another Nurse Joy.
"Oh thank god, what are you doing here?"
"Stopping the Rockets"
She took a quick glance all over me. "You look rather tired; you need to take a quick rest"
"Um, could you heal my pokemon instead?"
She smiled and nodded. "Of course, but you should take a break while I heal them"
I guess she had a point, even though this really wasn't the time. I lied down for a few minutes, waiting for her to finish. I felt something else lie down next to me. Turning my head, I saw the Nurse lying there.
"Shouldn't you be healing my pokemon?"
"I healed them, but I'm scared and lonely" she looked at me with weird eyes. "How about you keep me company"
I rolled off the bed. "Now's not the time, just gimme my balls, so that I can get going" seriously, any other time I might of considered, but not now. I spotted my pokeballs on the trey she brought by.
"Oh come on, being with pokemon gets boring after a while" the looked in her eyes now terrified me.
"Um, what did you mean by that?"
She drew closer. "I think you know what that meant"
"Alert, Alert, run now"
"I'm Leaving! Good Bye!" I ran to the locked door in the room and unlocked it as quickly as I could.
"Wait!" she chased after me.
"No!"
"What's all this noise" a lone Rocket came around the corner I was running to. "Stop right now"
I ran right past him. "You can deal with her"
"Deal with wh – Ahhh"
There was a teleport pad at the end of the hall and my sights were on it.
"WAIT!" she yelled.
"HELP!" the Rocket yelled.
But I jumped into the pad and exited onto another floor.
I let out a deep breath of relief. "Too close for comfort. Scared the crap outta me"
After taking a quick break, I stood up and notice the room I was in was rather small and right on the other side was another pad. Entering it, I exited into a long corridor. I could hear faint sounds coming from the other side of the wall. Not a battle, it was a conversation of some sort. Although it sounded like one side wanted to get out as quickly as possible. Making my way quickly to the end of the hall, my final obstacle was a door. Luckily it was unlocked by the card I had.
"What in the world" a male voice was heard. "Oh Eddy, how have you been"
I was shocked. "You're that man I helped through Diglett cave" He stood there, in his black business suit, and sleet black hair. "You're the leader of Team Rocket?" Giovanni. Beside him was a large pale tan feline creature, with rounded ears that are a darker tan color and a small red jewel on its forehead.
He chuckled. "Why yes and at the moment, the president of Silph. Co and I are in a meeting, now if you would please excuse us"
"Help us" the old man in the back asked, with a woman next to him, frightened.
"Huh, this looks like a final boss situation, so I should say something like this!" "Giovanni!" I yelled, pulling out a pokeball. "I am here to defeat you, the leader of Team Rocket, by all cost and nothing will stop me!"
He laughed. "Do you really believe that you can defeat. I would like to see you try. Persian"
With a growl, his cat pokemon walked in front of him. Throwing my pokeball forward, Yoruichi appear. He crouched and growled, feeling the seriousness of the situation.
"Double Kick" wasting no time, Yoruichi rushed and kicked Persian with its hind legs.
"Bite" the cat pokemon quickly bit down on Yoruichi's abdomen, not allowing him to get loose.
"Thunder Bolt"
"Let go now"
Persian threw Yoruichi before he could fire the attack, unable to adjust his aim; he hit the ceiling above Persian.
"Now Power Gem"
The jewel on its head glowed for a second, than released several gemstones of light and firing them upon Yoruichi and around.
"Damn, I need to play it safe with this guy"
"Get in with Quick Attack"
"Prepare another Bite"
Yoruichi struck from the side, and then quickly avoided the oncoming bite from the cat pokemon.
"Pin Missile"
He fired a barrage of needles into the felines face, causing it to jump back and try to remove the needles with its paws.
"Now Bite and then Thunder Bolt"
He charged quickly again, biting down the cats tail, then jumped back charging his attack.
"Faint Attack"
Yoruichi fired the bolt, but it missed as Persian faded away. It re-appeared from behind Yoruichi, slashing him to the ground.
"Now Night Slash"
Dark energy surrounded its paw and slashed the spiky dog pokemon away.
"Now Slash"
The Persian walked over to Yoruichi and pressed its paw down on him, pinning him, raised its other paw and brought it down. Just before it could strike, it was electrocuted by a Thunder Bolt from my pokemon.
"Now Double Kick and finish it with Thunder Bolt"
Jumping up, Yoruichi kicked his opponent in its face and flipped in the air, letting loose another Thunder Bolt. It let out one last growl before toppling to its side.
"Impressive, but lets see how you handle this next one and a word of advice, you should be more careful when battling us" Giovanni congratulated and warned, returning his Persian and letting out another his other pokemon. This one was mainly purple, its ears had small pointed extensions on the tips, and the insides of its round ears were green-colored. Its jaw looked tough and had five teeth on each side of its lower jaw; a fifth protruding out of the jaw, its eyes was shaped like scalene triangles and had a large horn on its forehead. The spines growing down its back were extremely large, as is its tail, which was decorated with several thin stripes. Its chest and abdomen, gray in coloration, seem to be quite muscular, with white-colored ridges on its three-clawed arms and a single, large, hoof-like toe.
Now I was sweating. "This thing looks strong" Looking it over a bit more, it looked like an evolved version of a Nidorino.
"You wanna take a break" I asked my pokemon. He looked exhausted, he knew it, but he shook his head, ready to fight more. "Alright, Thunder Bolt!"
Yoruichi released his attack and struck Giovanni's pokemon, who did not make any attempt to dodge; it just stood there.
"Nidoking, Earth Power"
With a roar, it raised its leg and stomped on the ground. The ground from under Yoruichi erupted and sent him flying, hitting the ceiling and then landing on the ground. He did not get up.
"How" I asked, returning my pokemon.
"Nidoking I part ground type. You should really study up on your pokemon boy"
I called out Rena, putting us both at an advantage and disadvantage.
"Ancient Power"
Parts of the floor around Rena floated into the air, before being shot at Nidoking. As they closed in, Nidoking just shattered the rocks with its bare fist.
"Aqua Jet"
Rena shot forward, surrounded by water and plowed Nidoking in its chest.
"Mega Horn" Giovanni called.
Nidoking's horn glowed green and he rammed it into Rena, sending her back to me.
"Rena, don't give up" I encouraged my pokemon.
"You know, I'm still impressed that you have an ancient pokemon with you, but that does not matter"
"I don't care. Why are you doing this?"
"Why" he laughed. "Silph Cooperation has developed a pokeball that can not fail and I require that pokeball to catch a certain pokemon"
"A legendary?"
"You could call it that, but not exactly. The pokemon I want to capture is a clone of a legendary, but it was too powerful and escaped"
"You cloned a legendary?"
"Yes, it took quite some time to acquire it, but we captured it. Cloning it was troublesome as well, but we made the money, whether it was stealing or selling. Pokemon are henchmen, they follow orders by any mean and if they don't, we force their stubbornness out. They are only tools for humans"
"Bastard"
He looked intrigued. "Oh you look angry"
"Of course I'm pissed off" Rena looked just as angry. "Aqua Jet"
"Earth Power again"
The ground rose in front of Rena, canceling her attack and sending her upwards. She landed near me and struggled to get up. She coated herself in water again and shot forward.
While Rena flew towards Nidoking, Giovanni laughed again. "I warned you about battling me. Sucker Punch him"
Nidoking's fist glowed black and he vanished.
"Where'd he g-"
Everything went black.
