Quartz and Lapis peeked into the clearing; the ship was still there trying to swipe Squirtles.
"Quartz, you're going to have to trust me." said Lapis.
"Sure I trust you, I always have." said Quartz.
"Cool then I won't have to convince you." said Lapis.
Lapis jumped out of the grass they were hiding in, Quartz still in tow, Lapis picked up a stone and hurled it at the ship. The stone hit its target (how could it not) and the ship sent a claw at them. Lapis let the claw grab them as they were pulled into the ship. The pink Squirtle happened to see all that just happened and a grin of recognition spread across its face as it yelled for the other Squirtles to come forward. They, of course, followed their leader. The ships claws reached down to grab the last of the Squirtles, all of the Squirtles panicked not knowing there leader's plan but that was probably a good thing. If none of them panicked then it would've looked suspicious so the pink Squirtle thanked them as they were pulled in to the ship.
Quartz and Lapis were thrown into an energy cage thanks to the claw.
"There, don't think of escaping you two, the boss will be here soon." said the woman as she walked through the door.
"Well, fantastic. I went from walking to the beautiful Lewa City to being trapped in an energy cage! What a perfect way to spend my day." said Quartz.
"Well, we're trapped now so don't complain it'll only make it worse, I blame myself, I should've thought of all the possibilities." said Lapis.
Just then the door opened and a woman walked in. She had black hair with various purple dyes in some parts of her hair. She was wearing a strange outfit; in fact, the other woman they had seen was wearing a strange outfit, and so was the person that had the flash drive, and those guys who had tried to kidnap Professor Oak. It was a light and dark gray suit with a big gear in the middle. Inside the gear was a big yellow m, and on the sleeves there were sharp triangle shapes that went up to the shoulder.
"Ah, so these are the two teenagers you told me about," said the woman.
"Yes General Raven, we caught them along with the Squirtles." said the other woman.
Finally Quartz and Lapis noticed their surroundings; they were in a room full of energy cages. There were claws on the ceiling with a big computer to control them on the floor. In the energy cages were all the Squirtles that had accompanied them, the pink one however mysteriously wasn't there.
"Well, I've never tried our little machine on other humans before, so, let's see what happens." said Raven.
"What "little machine" are you talking about?!" asked Quartz.
"This," said Raven as she walked over to the computer and started to type. Soon Quartz' and Lapis' cage was grabbed by a claw and lifted onto a conveyer belt. The conveyer belt started up and soon they found themselves in a room entirely "dedicated" to a machine. They noticed there was one more cage in front of them as Raven walked in.
"This is our "little machine" it turns organic beings into half organic half robotic beings, improving their abilities while also giving us complete control over them." said Raven.
"Monsters," said Lapis quietly.
"Thank you, as a reward you will get a demonstration." said Raven.
She fired up the machine as the cage in front of them moved ever closer to the machine. The cage contained two Squirtles and as it was lowered into the machine they could hear various devices at work. A few seconds later the cage was lifted out of the machine, smoke shielding all visions of the Squirtles, and was plopped on to the floor of the ship. A few seconds later out sprang two robotic Squirtles, they had robotic parts on seventy five percent of their bodies, their eyes were replaced with cylon ones and they had mechanical guns attached to their arms.
"They have been implanted with robotic body parts and now obey our bidding." said Raven.
"Why are you doing this?" asked Lapis.
"Once out Lord gains enough robotic pokémon he shall use them to destroy all organic pokémon and seize power." said Raven.
"Impossible," said Quartz.
"Anything's possible, besides, you'll get to come along for the ride." said Raven, grinning, as she went back to the computer.
Suddenly, Quartz and Lapis remembered what was going to happen to them as the conveyer belt started moving again, and their cage got ever so closer to the machine.
Just then a huge blast of water came out of nowhere; the offender was the pink Squirtle.
"Nice try but we're not idiots you animal, water won't destroy the machine!" said Raven.
However that wasn't what the Squirtle was aiming for, the cage was hit by a blast so humungous in power that the cage was blasted off the conveyer belt and smashed against the wall. With the cage broken Quartz and Lapis started too run at Raven, both ran in separate directions.
"Mecha-Squirtles, blast the boy into oblivion, NOW!" said Raven.
The Squirtles obeyed without hesitation, they blasted out HUGE blasts of water heading straight for Quartz. Just when it looked like Quartz was frozen in fear and done for his pokèball burst open and a white light came out; a pink wall then appeared in front of Quartz and the water blasted into that instead. The white light faded and a taller, bigger, much more intimidating version of Magikan appeared in front of Quartz, holding up the barrier as much as it could.
"Magikan, you've evolved into Spellcastorous!" yelled Quartz.
However Spellcastorous looked like it was in no mood to talk right now. Quartz remembered his situation as he jumped out of the way. Just in time to. The barrier broke from the force of the water and Spellcastorous was flung across the room into the wall.
"Well, I wasn't expecting that, no matter. Drones take care of the boy!" yelled Raven.
As soon as she said that one of the doors opened and six big drones came through and at a decent speed they headed for Quartz. Quartz jumped, trying to avoid them; however the droids were prepared for that as they let him land onto one of them. They quickly transmitted a code to open a hatch and they flew out with Quartz in tow.
"Good, now, I'll take care of the girl." said Raven.
Lapis pulled out a pokèball and was ready for a fight. However, another pokèball fell back into the ship from the hatch. The pokèball popped open and out came Dratinsplash. Lapis figured Quartz had thrown the pokèball back into the ship to help her. She didn't dwell on it long though as she threw her pokèball, she had chosen Singebark clearly seen when her pokèball burst open.
"Very well, Mecha-Blastoise obey me, destroy them!" Raven yelled.
Raven threw her pokèball and a fierce looking Mecha-Blastoise burst out. It had fierce red eyes along with its robotized body. Its cannons were MUCH bigger than they would be with any other Blastoise and its tail had cannon on it as well.
"Holy crap…" said Lapis, stunned by the appearance of the creature.
"Now girl, time to fight." said Raven.
Lapis readied herself for her toughest battle yet, fearing the results.
