Chapter Five
Vengeance
Cisco quietly and quickly walked through the dark streets of Saffron City. He'd spent the last few days chasing Team Rocket all over the place and discovered that their main base was in Saffron and as luck would have it, he knew where it was. Cisco had tracked them down to small warehouse that was tucked away in one of the back alleys. He walked up to the door and quietly slipped in.
"Hey! Who are you!?" Two Team Rocket guards approached him.
"Oh…I'm lost and don't kn-"
He quickly punched one and kicked the other in the groin. They both fell to the floor. Cisco called out his Chikorita and had it use Sleep Powder on both of them. The guards where soon snoring away.
"Thank you Chikorita. Return." He called back the Pokémon.
He went through the warehouse, knocking out all the Team Rocket members he ran into. He found a small storage room filled with crates. He slowly and cautious walked in. When he was in the center of the room, several Team Rocket Grunts appeared, they surrounded him. A man with light blue hair walked from behind the grunts.
"So you're the one who's been hunting us down." He smirked. "Kill him."
Some of the guards pulled out Pokeballs and called out Pokémon. Most of the Pokémon were Zubats, some Ekans. The Pokémon rushed towards Cisco. Cisco easily avoided them and called out a Typhlosion. The Pokémon used Eruption, knocking out all the Pokémon. Then it began to attack the grunts.
Cisco ran past all the grunts and chased after the man, who had run away. Cisco caught up to the man and knocked him to the ground. The man jumped up and grabbed Cisco, lifting him up off the ground and tossing him into a wall. Cisco slowly recovered. The man ran towards him, but Cisco sidestepped and tripped him, causing him to run face first into a crate. Cisco elbowed the man in the back as hard as he could. The man cried out and slipped off the crate and fell to the floor. Cisco slowly went over to him, and then grabbed him with two hands to get him up. When the man was all the way up, he pulled out a pistol, pushed Cisco away and aimed it at Cisco. Cisco froze, pondering the situation. The man placed a hand on his hurt back and turned away for a second. Cisco struck. He ran towards the man, zigzagging, grabbing the pistol and kicking the man away. The man hit the wall and slumped down to the floor. He looked up at Cisco; his eyes went wide when Cisco pointed the gun at him.
"Who are you?" The man laughed. "The police? Are you here about that shooting earlier this week? That Zenton man and his wife? " He laughed again. "If you must know, I shot both of them. That guy deserved it…He wouldn't pay the loan he owed us."
Cisco ignored everything the guy said.
"Wh-What are you going to do? Shoot me? I don't think so." The Rocket Executive smirked.
"Two reasons why I will." Cisco spoke. " 'That Zenton man and his wife'…..Were my parents!"
Cisco pulled the trigger. There was a long bang and the man went motionless. Cisco cried out and slumped against the wall. He looked at the smoking gun in his hands and tossed it away. His heart felt heavy. He had just taken another life. He felt sick to his stomach. He stood up and slowly started to make his way out of the base.
