Silph Co.

Zoey stood up slowly and looked at the two Rockets standing before her. "It's…it's you two…those Rockets named David and Adam…"

"It's nice of you to remember," said David. "But that's not gonna help you with anything."

"Oh yeah?!" She was about to take out one of her Pokeballs, when something knocked her down onto the ground. Then Adam charged at her, grabbing her wrists to make sure she doesn't escape. He pulled her up and she struggled.

"Let go of me!"

"Zoey!"

She turned around and saw Joey, Gary, and Jessica running towards her. But Eevee sensed something was wrong, and she told Pikachu to hide behind a trashcan.

When the three young teens caught up to her, they saw the two Rockets. Joey and Gary became enraged. Jessica looked a little afraid. "What are people like them doing here?"

"Well well," said Adam. "It's the rest of the annoying brats."

"Team Rocket!" the two boys shouted.

Joey saw Zoey trying to get free. "Let her go!"

"And what makes you think we're gonna listen to you?"

Gary took out a Pokeball from his belt. "Fine, I guess we'll have to do this the hard way!"

David smirked. "Not so fast." He snapped his fingers, and the three trainers felt an ominous presence behind them.

"Get them."

"Scyther!"

"Muuuk."

"Yreeeeah!"

Joey felt himself being trapped by a pair of scissor-like arms, one pinning him against the body of the creature, and the other close to his neck. Purple ooze wrapped around Gary and traveled up to his throat. A thick vine grabbed Jessica by the ankles, eventually coiling itself around the rest of her body and around her mouth as she tried to scream.

Zoey looked horrified.

"There," said a content David. "Now you three can't escape."

"Leave them alone!" shouted Zoey. "If you don't let them go I'll scream!"

Adam chuckled. "Scream and your friends die." Her face was filled with even more horror. "You see, on David's signal, the moment you scream, you friend over there will be eaten, the other one will be suffocated, and the last one will have his head cut off."

Zoey realized he was right. She saw that the three creatures restraining her friends were Pokemon: a Scyther, a Muk, and a Victreebel.

"Zoey…" Joey tried to say.

Her eyes were filling with tears. "Stop it…leave them alone!"

"Oh we'll leave them alone," began Adam. "But under one condition: you will come with us inside the building."

"No…I'll never go with you two brutes!"

Adam sighed out of annoyance and looked lazily over at David. The smarter of the duo shook his head. "Very well then Ketchum," he said. "Have it your way." He snapped his fingers and Zoey looked towards the three Pokemon.

Victreebel opened his large mouth and was slowly moving Jessica inside. She screamed even louder but her attempts were all for nothing. The vines were too thick for her voice to go through.

Muk was wrapping himself around Gary even more, and his goopy arm covered his mouth and nose, making it hard for the Trainer to breathe.

And Scyther's sickle arm was pressing closer to Joey's neck, and the poor boy didn't know what to do. Any sudden movement would be the end of him.

Zoey was so afraid. She didn't want them to die, not even Jessica. The longer she stood silent, the closer her friends were to death. She couldn't let them die like that, but she didn't want to go with the Rockets inside their hideout either. But what was more important, one life or three?

She didn't know what to do and she was panicking. Jessica continued screaming, and tears started to drip from her eyes. Gary was starting to lose consciousness because of the terrible and toxic smell from Muk, and Joey started to feel the blade of Scyther's arm press against his neck. He could already feel the blood starting to drip from the small cut.

"Okay I'll go!" Zoey cried. She began to sob. "Just…just leave them alone…don't kill them…please…I beg you…"

David smiled. "That's a good girl." He snapped his fingers and the Pokemon let go of the Trainers.

Jessica cried on the ground, trembling out of fear. She had never been so frightened in her entire life. Gary was coughing when Muk dropped him on the floor. It was difficult for him to breathe. And Joey slumped to the floor, clutching his neck, trying to stop the blood from flowing. His face was horror-stricken.

"Now, come along Zoey," David said as he returned the three Pokemon back into their Pokeballs. Apparently they were his. "There's somebody who wants to meet you."

Adam pushed Zoey into the automatic door of Silph Co and David looked at the three trainers on the ground. "Try to rescue her in any way, and you'll regret it."

Gary looked up at the door and the last thing he saw before the doors closed were the tears dripping from Zoey's face.

Jessica stopped crying because she knew there was no use in sobbing. She walked over to Gary and said, "Are you alright Gary?"

She helped him up as he coughed more, trying to get air back in his lungs. "Yes…I'm…fine. How about you?"

"A little shaken up…but I'm ok…"

She looked over at Joey and so did Gary. "Hey, your neck's bleeding!"

The boy looked at his rival. "Yeah…I know…"

"Well shouldn't you put something over it?!"

"I don't have any bandages."

"Well let's go to the Pokemon Center," Jessica said. "We need to get healed!"

"But what about Zoey?" asked Joey. "We can't just leave her in that place!"

Gary looked at him. "If we don't get cured first, we won't be able to help her. And you need to get a bandage wrapped around your neck otherwise you'll die from blood loss. Now let's hurry up and get to the Pokemon Center."

Jessica helped up her crush and Joey lifted himself up, still holding his neck. The three Trainers ran towards a Pokemon Center to get healed, and maybe come up with a plan to get Zoey out of trouble.

Even though they may not like each other, only they were the ones who could save her, and they had to work together to do so.

Zoey was in the elevator, and Adam wasn't holding on to her wrists anymore. She was too afraid to even try escaping at the moment.

"You've caused us a great deal of trouble child," David told her. He looked at her. "You do know you're going to get your just dessert for your defiance."

"How could I be defiant if I was never in Team Rocket?"

"You got into our business and therefore were defiant against the organization."

She just gave him a cold look and he mocked her with a smirk.

"If you keep glaring like that, your lovely face won't be so lovely anymore."

The bell from the elevator rung and the doors opened. Adam shoved Zoey out of the elevator and David followed.

As she was escorted down the hall, she saw scientists and other Rockets walking. Some were holding clipboards, and others were just chatting. Adam waved to some of them and David didn't do anything, but just made sure Zoey kept walking.

They finally reached their destination and David knocked on the door. "Sir, we've returned with the girl."

"Ah, excellent. You may come in."

David opened the door and let Zoey step inside first. For being a criminal, he was a gentleman of sorts, as hard as that is to believe.

The young girl looked around and saw that it was an office, and it was very nice too. A Persian and an Arcanine were lying down in the far end of the room. A man was looking out the large window in his office. Zoey could tell they were on the topmost floor because she could see the rooftops of buildings, and also because when she got out of the elevator the light lit up on the last number at the top of the door.

Adam closed the door, and then the man at the window turned around. He was nicely dressed and there was a pin with a red R on the top left corner of his suit. "Hello there, little girl. I've heard a lot about you."

He walked over to her. "You're probably wondering who I am. Well, my name is Sebastian and I, am the leader of the Team Rocket organization."

"You…you are? But I thought Giovanni-"

"Ah, Giovanni. Yes, he was the leader, but then I took over. Nobody knows where he is now, and quite frankly, I don't care." He gave a laugh. "Not that I will disappoint him. I'm not like him, who disappoints people…especially his son…"

"Wait…so…then that means…you're Giovanni's son?!"

"Yes, I am. But that's beside the point. I've been told that you've been giving some of my grunts problems. I've also heard a lot about you from Jack and Jackie. I'm pretty sure you know who they are."

"Yeah…of course I know about them…those clumsy twins."

"Ah, see that's where you're wrong. They may be clumsy and irresponsible, but they can surprise you sometimes. I've seen it happen. They show a lot more promise than their parents, that's for sure."

"Why exactly did you bring me here?"

"To make a proposition. You're an excellent Pokemon Trainer, and I think you'd be well in this organization. I could make you an Admin right away."

"You must be crazy…I'd never join you lowlifes."

"Ah…I see." He walked over back to the window and looked out. "So, you'd rather be on the side of justice and help Pokemon instead of putting them to good use…"

"Putting them to good use?! That's bull! You use Pokemon for criminal activities and you don't treat them right! Team Rocket never cared about Pokemon! They only use them to get what they want and they'll abandon any defenseless or weak Pokemon!"

"So you're a Pokemon lover then…"

"Of course! While Pokemon may not be humans, they still have feelings and they're still living beings! You need to take care of them and love them, and in return they'll do the same for you! Humans and Pokemon are supposed to be there for one another, and we shouldn't take advantage of them!"

Sebastian sighed. "All this talk about 'love' and such is making me tired." He glanced back at her, narrowing his eyes. "And you're getting me irritated." He turned to David. "I leave you and Adam in charge of the girl. Apparently bringing her here was a mistake. She has absolutely zero intentions of even trying to break the rules."

"Yes sir," said David. He grabbed Zoey's arm and she looked up at him. "Give me your bag and all the Pokeballs you've got."

"And why would I do that?"

"Do it. Or else we'll find those three friends of yours and hunt them down too. The most likely scenario would be their death since they're not really important. You, on the other hand, are the daughter of a famous Pokemon Trainer and I'm pretty sure keeping you captive will work well for us."

Zoey looked at him with shock.

"Team Rocket isn't oblivious Zoey Ketchum," he continued. "We know quite a bit about certain things. Oh and don't worry. We won't harm your friend Gary. We know he too is the offspring of a famous Trainer, but we only have need for one hostage at the moment. You were the easy target because you're so emotional and that gets in the way a lot, doesn't it? Now, I will not tell you again."

The girl looked defeated and sad as she gave her bag and the Pokeballs to David. He placed the balls inside her bag, but noticed that there were seven and not six. Interesting…

Sebastian smiled. "Good good. Everything is left in your hands David."

"Understood."

The two Rockets walked out of the room with Zoey down the hall.

"So what're you gonna do with that bag David?"

"I'm going to just put it in a storage room so she can't get it."

"What do you want to do with the girl?"

"I have no need for her. As long as she doesn't leave this building, it's fine, so you may take charge of her now."

He gave a devious smile. "Thanks."

"Oh and Adam," said the other as he began to walk down a flight of stairs. "Don't traumatize her please. You'll regret it somehow."

"Yeah yeah I've got it."

Zoey was trembling. What does he mean by that?! Could he be…oh…no! Don't tell me he's-!

"Now that David's gone, and he gave me custody of you, I'm finally gonna get my revenge." He grabbed her arm and dragged her to an empty conference room. He shut the door and pressed a button for the lock. Zoey scurried to the far end of the room, looking terrified.

"Aww, how cute. You look like a frightened little Rattata cowering in the back of her cage." He walked closer to her. "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you or anything…but I do want something from you…and I bet you know what it is."

She tried to run but he grabbed her and slammed her on the table.

"Let me go!"

"It's pay back time."

David walked down to the experimenting floor and took out a random Pokeball from the bag. "I don't know what Pokemon she has, but I'll just take one anyway."

He opened a door and threw her bag casually inside. He didn't bother to check what room it was, just making sure that nothing fell out of the bag.

The Rocket walked into another room where there were some scientists.

"Ah, Mr. David," said one. "Glad you're here. We've tested the device on all sorts of Pokemon. We just need a humanoid one."

"Check which Pokemon this is."

The scientist took it and placed the Pokeball in a container, pressing a button. A silhouette on a computer screen revealed what was inside. David smiled.

"So…this girl has a Hitmonchan. It's a humanoid Pokemon, is it not?"

"Yes sir! That's the kind we needed!"

"Good. You may use this one then."

"Does it belong to anybody though?"

"It doesn't belong to a Rocket, but it does belong to a hostage. Therefore you may use it."

"Understood."

David walked around looking at the various data. He had been a Rocket employee for some time now, and he was also a young one at that. He was in his early twenties and had been in the organization since he was thirteen. For years he had been loyal to make it to the top of the organization, and soon, he could feel that he was going to get closer.

"Mr. David."

He turned around to another scientist. "Yes what is it?"

"Sebastian wants to see you sir."

"Very well." He walked out of the room and back up to the floor where the office was. When he stepped inside, Sebastian had a content look on his face.

"David, I wanted to talk to you privately."

"What is it that you must say?"

"You've been a good employee for a long while, and you've followed your orders without question. So, to commemorate that, I hereby assign you the title of Admin."

"Are you…serious?"

"Yes. You are by far one of our skilled battlers, unlike the other grunts. I think it's about time that you got what you deserve."

"Thank you so much sir. You do not know how big of an honor this is for me." He bowed.

"It was nothing. Now, I hope to see your data on your research go along smoothly. I also look forward to your growth as a Trainer."

"I won't disappoint you."

"I know you won't. That is all."

"Yes sir."

David exited the room and walked down the hall. He was now an Admin and at the top, so this gave him even more responsibilities. Still, he wasn't the strongest Rocket in the organization. He was almost there, but he needed to prove himself first.

When Nurse Joy asked Joey and the rest what happened, they came up with a lame story, but it seemed to work. They didn't want anybody else to know about the kidnapping of Zoey since it would probably bring the police, which in turn would cause Team Rocket to flee and more than likely take Zoey with them.

The three trainers stood in the lobby.

"So…what are we going to do?" asked Joey. Pikachu was with him again, and he held the worried Eevee in his arms, since her Trainer was absent.

"Well…" began Gary. "Rescue Zoey is the obvious…but the only problem is about how we're going to do it…"

"I think…" Jessica said slowly. "Maybe…we should infiltrate that building…just the three of us…and then split up and find her…"

"That sounds like a good idea," replied Gary. "But I didn't think you'd want to even consider saving Zoey."

"I may not like her…but she saved my life by going with them…and she doesn't deserve to be held hostage…besides, I would never wish death or anything horrible to somebody like her. That would put me at the Rocket level and I don't want that…"

Gary smiled. "Well, alright then."

"How many Pokemon do we have as a trio?" asked Joey. "And which ones are on hand?"

"Well…" Gary looked at the Pokeballs on his belt. "I've currently got Blastoise, Arcanine, Jolteon, Alakazam, Executor, and Nidoking with me…"

Jessica looked inside her bag. "I have Venasaur, Wigglytuff, Butterfree, Vaporeon, Ninetails, and Magneton."

"And I've got Blastoise, Flareon, Pikachu, Kangaskhan, Pidgeot, and Vileplume."

"Alright," said Gary. "That sounds like a good team. We have all types in our arsenal, and it looks like strong ones too." He stood up. "Well, I guess we better rescue Zoey then."

Joey stood up, and Jessica did too. "Right."

The three Trainers walked out of the Pokemon Center and towards the center of Saffron, heading for Silph Co. When the reached it, they made sure nobody was looking, and made sure no Rockets were around.

"The coast is clear," Joey whispered.

"Well," said Gary as they hurriedly walked up the front steps. "Here goes nothing."

Zoey was screaming and crying, struggling to get free from the weight of the Rocket on top of her. But it was no use. Her arms were pinned down by the wrists, and he was kissing her forcefully.

He stopped for a moment and looked down at her. "You know it's hard to do this when you're screaming."

"I don't want you to do this to me! Let me go!"

"Hell no! We're just getting started!" He began to kiss her again, and she continued to struggle, but then began to stop, and just cried while sobbing. He had striped her of her clothes, and all she was wearing were here undergarments.

Adam looked down at her. "That's a good girl. You've stopped screaming. Oh but don't cry. You'll stain those rosy cheeks with your tears."

Zoey continued to cry and sob.

"You know," he continued as he looked at her chest. "You don't have a large bust like that blonde girl I saw outside."

She looked up at him.

"She's really pretty don't you think? What is she…a D cup or something?"

"How…should I know?" she said between sobs.

"Hmm…you look more like a…B or a C cup. Which one is it?"

"I wouldn't…tell you that…"

"Well now, why don't we get to the good part, hmm?"

She looked scared yet again. She didn't want anybody to see her completely nude, especially a sick person like this man! She looked around the table for something to use as a weapon, anything! That's when she saw a butter knife near a plate. Somebody had been snacking on something sweet, and it looked like cake or pie.

Zoey stood laying there, making sure Adam would not notice. Slowly she reached out and grabbed the knife, clutching it firmly in her hand. She felt her panties being lowered, and that's when she jammed the knife into his arm.

"AAAAAAAAH!"

She slid off the table and pulled her underwear up, reaching out for the rest of the clothes. She didn't bother to put them on here, because she had to get away. She jabbed her finger on the button and the door unlocked. The girl ran down the hallway as fast as she could, holding her clothes to her chest. She didn't care if she was running in her unmentionables. She just had to get out!

Other Rockets saw her, but didn't stop her surprisingly. If a woman was running almost completely naked, then they knew what had happened.

Ruth, who was talking with some of the other female members, sighed and shook her head. "That poor girl was his victim…"

"Yeah. I wonder how she escaped though? Looks like she was more fortunate than other females."

"Well it's no use trying to stop her. She can't escape this building because Adam's not done with her yet if her panties are still on. Still…it makes others wonder just what kind of people are employed in this organization."

"True."

Zoey didn't stop running. She looked for any door that was open and vacant. There were signs next to each door, labeling what room it was. She finally found one with the word 'Closet 15' on it. She hurried inside and shut the door, hiding behind stacks of large cardboard boxes.

She panted, and didn't move until she was sure nobody saw her. She heard somebody out in the hall screaming "Where'd you go you little whore?!"

"Adam! Stop yelling!"

"There you are David! Where the hell have you been?!"

"Checking on things in the development floor. What have you been doing?"

"Zoey…that chick…"

"She escaped you didn't she? What happened to your arm?"

"She stabbed me with a knife!"

"I wouldn't blame her. Nobody wants to be raped, especially a young girl like her with a future. Well, she no longer has a future since Sebastian doesn't plan on letting her go."

"Help me find her!"

"Under one condition."

"What is it?!"

"Leave her be when we find her. I'll take her back into my custody."

"Like hell I will! I'm not through with her yet!"

"That, is an order."

"Tch. I don't take orders from you!"

"I, have been promoted to Admin. And if you don't believe me, ask the boss yourself."

"Fine…whatever."

"Besides, there are much more beautiful girls than that one."

"True…"

She heard them talking, and their voices died down, meaning they were walking away. She sighed, and then cried softly, covering her face with her hands.

"I have to get out of here…otherwise I'll really be taken advantage of!" She sobbed a little, tears running down her cheeks. After about five minutes, she forced herself to calm down, rubbing her arms as she crossed them over her chest. "Well, I won't get anywhere staying like this…"

Zoey put her skirt back on, the black sleeveless top over her torso, and finally her blue vest. Afterwards, she put on her socks and slipped on her shoes. "Oh…I don't even know what floor I'm on…"

Slowly she opened the door, just a little. There were no Rockets anywhere in sight, so she slipped out and began to walk in a hurried manner. Every time she saw a Rocket or Researcher, she hid behind the giant potted plants or some other object in the hallway.

The girl saw a map near one of the plants. "Hmm…I'm on the ninth floor. Oh…I still have to go down eight more to reach the door…"

Zoey snuck around the floors, and that's when she heard a familiar voice.

"Damn that girl…where is she?"

"Oh no…not him!" She immediately hid in another room and watched as Adam passed it. The girl did not like him at all. In fact she hated his guts for harassing her.

"He's gone…" She turned around and found herself in a strange room. It looked like a development room or something because there were empty tubes in them.

"What…is this place?"

She hid behind large cardboard boxes when she heard voices getting louder. She glanced up and saw that there was some sort of room at the top, making somewhat of a balcony. Through the glass she saw scientists and the controls, and that's when she saw David up there too.

"What are they planning to do?"

An alarm went off, and from the tubes rose random Pokemon. Zoey looked at them and saw that they looked very fatigued. She could hear what the Rockets were saying because of an intercom.

"Mr. David, these are the Pokemon that refused to fight in the arena."

"Is that so? Very well then. Maybe we should teach them who's boss. Fire it up."

"Yes sir." The scientist pressed a button and turned a knob, making the tubes with the Pokemon light up. Zoey looked at the tubes carefully, and then yelped when strong electric currents were shot at the Pokemon inside.

"You foolish creatures," said David. "We told you to fight and instead you continue to disobey us. This is your punishment for not listening."

Zoey's eyes began to tear up again, and she began to sob. "Oh…those poor Pokemon!"

The level of the shock was heightened, and the Pokemon were in even greater pain. She could already see their skeletons through the shock of electricity.

"No! Stop it!" she shouted.

David looked down at the room from the platform where he was at. "What the…you."

"Oops…" Zoey ran out of the room and tried to escape when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw that they were scientists. Quickly she fled down the steps and continued running, hiding yet again behind a large random object. The scientists passed right by. She sighed and walked out from behind the object when she was grabbed by the arm and slammed against the wall.

"There you are," said David. "You know my comrade has been looking all over for you Ketchum."

"What were you doing to those Pokemon!?"

"Oh. Well you see, we have developed a special pill for a Pokemon to consume, and that would make them stronger and faster. Of course, it's not fully developed, and there are some faults with it, so we've been testing it on different types of Pokemon, and different structures of Pokemon. But unfortunately most of them have had side effects, either causing the consumer to become blind, deaf, and the like. And there were some Pokemon who witnessed the others take this pill, so they refused to take it as well. What you saw there back in that room were the Pokemon who refused to eat the pill, so they were put up against the improved Pokemon that did, and you can see they were badly beaten up. So, since they need further punishment for disobeying orders, they were electrocuted to teach them a lesson."

"But that's so cruel! You're going to kill them if you keep it up! Pokemon are not tools of war!"

"To you. You Trainers love and pamper your Pokemon, making friends with them and such. And in return they love you back. But about half of them aren't even strong because they're so weak and spoiled. They are not trained enough, and with these pills, they will be at their full capacity. But you're just a child, and therefore do not understand our ways."

"Any sane person wouldn't! Not just a child!"

"I'm growing tired of your mouth."

"And I'm growing tired of this whole organization! Where are my Pokemon?!"

"Oh don't worry. Your Pokemon are not harmed. Although, you had seven with you, so we decided to borrow one."

Her eyes widened. "Which one…did you take?"

"Like I would tell you. Now be a good girl and go back-"

"I'm not going back to that rapist! I hate him, I hate your boss, I hate Team Rocket, and I hate you!" She glared. "You're nothing but a bunch of lowlifes-"

"Oh we are?"

"Yes! You have absolutely no morals-!" She felt her lips being pressed against his, and her body pressed against his torso. He wouldn't let go of her, even though she struggled. Finally he let go and she became enraged.

"What are you doing?!"

"You said we have no morals. Be careful what you say girl. I won't sexually abuse you like my partner, but I won't treat you like a princess either."

"Then why…why did you kiss me?"

"To see what Adam finds so fascinating about you and your body. But personally, I don't see it. You're too young to please anybody. Maybe in ten years you'll be ready. Then I shall try again."

"You sick…sick…person!" Tears continued falling from her eyes.

"Hey there you are David!"

Zoey gasped and turned around, to see the man she feared most.

"Oh, and it looks like you finally caught the little mouse!" he grabbed her arm. "You're going to pay dearly for what you did to me girl. And you're going to regret it. I assure you."

"I thought I told you to leave her alone when she was caught."

"Oh come on! She stabbed me with a weapon!"

"It was a butter knife…"

"But she jammed it into my flesh! Do you want me to try it on you and see if it hurts?!"

"That will not be necessary. Anyway, I'm going to relocate her belongings in my office."

"You have an office now?"

"Yes. It is on the tenth floor. Anyway, you must follow me because I don't trust you."

The two Rockets and poor Zoey traveled up to the tenth floor by staircase, and David retreated into his new office. "Oh I forgot…I left her things in a storage room. Adam."

"What?"

"I'm going to get her things. Don't do anything rash." He left hurriedly out of the office. When he was sure he was gone, Adam dragged Zoey to the room right next door.

"Hey, he said no more funny stuff!"

"You think I'll listen to him? He's not here, so he doesn't know. Now we better make this quick, or else I'm going to get a scolding. You know what to do."

Zoey glared at him, very afraid and angry at the same time. "No, I don't."

He grabbed her neck and slammed her against the wall. "Must I do it for you?"

She couldn't breathe. "Let…me…go…!"

"Fine. Guess I'll have to do it again." He let go of her and she fell to the floor, coughing. Before she could get up, he pinned her down once more and began to pull down the zipper from her vest.

"Stop it! Leave me alone!"

"Like I said, this is what you get for stabbing me. That was a very big mistake." He smiled evilly. "This would have never happened if you had never gotten into Team Rocket's business. But since you keep insisting to save the pathetic Pokemon, you're going to pay."

Zoey stopped talking and continued crying again, wondering if she should of have stood up for what she believed in after all.

Gary was in the air vent, much to his dismay, but he had no other route or alternative in getting through. He looked down each vent he saw, but there was so sign of Zoey.

Joey had somehow surprisingly knocked a Rocket unconscious and stole his uniform, so he had a much easier time.

And Jessica had to hide too in various places so nobody would spot her. When she was sure nobody were in any of the rooms, she peeked inside. But Zoey was nowhere to be found.

It was difficult for the three Trainers to get around the building, because they were all nervous and very much afraid, but they knew they had to do this for Zoey, who had saved their lives just as they were about to die.

"Zoey…" Gary told himself. "Please be alright…"

David came back with Zoey's bag and placed it in his office. He looked around for his polar opposite, but he wasn't anywhere within view. That's when he thought of something and shook his head. "That guy…"

He checked the room right next door, and was right. He was inside.

"What did I just tell you?"

Adam turned around. "When did you get back?!"

"A minute ago. You pedophile…you can't keep it in your pants, can you?"

"Hey, you know me. I was charged for various crimes concerning young girls and women."

"Maybe you should be neutered like a dog. That can easily be arranged."

"Shut up!"

"Well I'm back, so put you shirt on please. And leave her alone already. I thought you and Ruth had a thing going on?"

"She's mad at me for some reason," he said as he put on his shirt and placed the cap back on his head. "I don't know why though."

"I think I have a pretty good idea. You fool around too much with other women, so she's disappointed that you can't stay loyal to just one, most likely her."

"I can't help it! I try…but it's no good…especially when I see a girl more beautiful than her…"

"Then don't expect her to treat you with kindness." He looked at Zoey who was on the floor crying. Adam hadn't gotten much farther than he intended David assumed, as her underwear was still on her body. "Stop crying like a baby and put on your clothes. Hurry up."

The girl got up, and slowly put her clothes back on.

"I said hurry up. Don't try my patience."

She hurried and then stood up, looking at her captors. Adam grabbed her arm and followed David out of the room, to another room on the same floor. He opened the door and both walked inside. Zoey saw cages and Pokemon in them, who looked like they were in pain.

There was a cage at the end of the room and she was thrown inside.

"You say you love Pokemon, so then you shouldn't mind being in a cage like them!"

Adam shut the barred door and locked it, putting the key in his pocket. "You'll stay there until I have further use for you. Who knows? You might be the first of your friends to become a young mother."

Her eyes widened and fear was struck into her heart yet again. The door to the room closed, and it was dark, hardly any light.

Zoey cried, and didn't hold any tears back. She had never been so frightened in her entire life, and she had never been sexually abused either. Having that Rocket sexually assault her like that was a horrible experience she never wanted to happen again as long as she lived.

"What's going to happen to me? I don't know what to do… I…I don't want him to touch me again!" She slammed her fist on the ground of the metal cage, and sobbed on the floor.

"Was it wrong for me to stick up for the Pokemon?" She looked around to see the injured creatures staring at her. At first they looked menacing as they glared at her. She guessed that by now they must hate humans and she didn't blame them. The human race was a despicable race.

But they didn't try to scare her. Instead, when they saw her crying and trembling, they knew she wasn't one of the Rockets, because they could sense her fear, and her modesty, unlike the notorious criminals who radiated an air of superiority. The Pokemon wanted to escape and free themselves, perhaps also taking the girl with them, but they still needed to recover by themselves gradually.

Zoey was out of options, and by this point had lost all hope for everything.

A/N: It's been a good while since I've edited anything from this story, but due to my ignorance and naivete, I couldn't ignore the severity of what this chapter holds, so I had to rewrite it. Hopefully this version is better suited for a general audience, at least the age range that actively reads fanfics.
