She swayed the egg in her arms as she climbed a boulder, eventually getting to the meeting place, a cave almost a mile away from town. As Hikari entered, she was greeted by her co-workers. "Hey Hikari, nice to see you. Here's a list of contacts" the boss said, passing it to Hikari as she took it in her left hand, holding the egg in her right.
Hikari briefly looked through it. It contained all contacts who would want to get pokemon, and which ones paid high and low. "Whats with the egg?" one of them asked. "Oh, I got this from a friend" Hikari replied, trying not to piss them off.
Hikari couldn't wait until it hatched, but until then she felt it was just extra luggage. "Well i'm sure it'll be a great addition to your team" the boss said.
"Oh, that reminds me" Hikari quickly said, remembering the guy at the bar with the Wooper and Growlithe. Hikari took out the strange ball he gave her and gave it to her boss. "The client who ordered a Wooper and a Growlithe wanted me to give this to you" Hikari said.
The boss looked at it puzzled, glanced away and put it in his pocket, as if to check it later. Hikari shrugged. After a bit of gossip about some of the clients, she sat their bored, mainly picking up bits and pieces. Some were Ranger attacks, which immediately got her attention. "Yeah those guys attack me a bit, how do you avoid them?" Hikari asked. The people smirked. "We're all outlaws, you don't avoid them" he laughed softly. Eventually Hikari nd the rest got up and started to prepare for their next targets, as Hikari exited the cave.
To her surprise the man at the bar was standing behind a tree. Was he apart of the group? Hikari felt the ground tremble.. She turned around in shock. The cave had caved in, was her boss still inside? Hikari quickly sent all her pokemon out and started to move the rocks as fire burst out, taking out Dustox, Hoothoot and Staravia. "Dammit" Hikari yelled, fnally removing the rocks and rubble.
Dead bodies lay down after the explosion took out the cave, Hikari was speechless. The man pointed to the round globe he gave Hikari. "That globe had a trackng device, and of course the bomb inside it did it's job" the man laughed.
"How could you?" Hikari yelled "Your a customer and you order pokemon through us, and you blow us up?" Hikari felt like she was about to explode wth anger, shock and many other feelings.
"It's quite simple" the man said "I am the Marketing Director of NatX. Ever since you're group started no one bought pokemon through NatX, so I haad to elimnate you criminals." Hikari went into a ball of rage. She needed ths job so bad, and now she was unemployed once again. This man was so going to die.
The man noticed Hikari getting ready for battle. "Do you think you can take me on with only three pokemon" he said, but it didn't matter. Hikaari had never been so angry before, ths man was gong to die. No matter what.
"Haunter, let's rip this guy apart!" Hikari yelled. The man quckly drew Wooper and Growlithe. "Growlithe, flame thrower" the man yelled. "Haunter dodge and use shadow claw on Growlithe go!" Hikari yelled. "Wooper block Haunter's attack, and Growlithe use flame thrower again" he yelled, the tag teaam landng a blazng heat apon Haunter. "Wooper finish it off with water gun" the man yelled, as Hikari quickly returned Haunter.
"Dammit, with Growlithe as the offense and Wooper as the defence I can't get close to him, what is this?" Hikari asked impatiently.
"I guess you've never tried double battles" the man said. "It's a whole different ball game compared to single battles." Hikari quickly sent out her last two pokemon, Aron and Poliwhirl.
"Fine, if it's a double battle you want, then that's how you will die!" she yelled. "Poliwhirl, water gun on Growlithe and Aron use headbutt on Wooper!" she yelled as the man countered by having Wooper use water gun to counter Poliwhirl's as Growlithe hit Aron with a close range flamethrower, knocking it out."
"It's not just about using two pokemon" the man said "Each pokemon co-ordinates wth the other, they cover each other's weaknesses and boost each other's strengths" he said. Hikari looked at Poliwhirl.
"Poliwhirl, water gun on Growlithe now" she yelled, as the water aimed and was deflected by Wooper. "Growlithe, extremespeed" the man yelled, as Hikari quickly signaled for Poliwhirl to make a mist, avoiding Growlithe's attack. Hikari might not be skilled at double battles, but her Poliwhirl was able to hold it's own.
"Growlithe deflect the mist with flamethrower" the man yelled, as Poliwhirl quickly used the opportunty to Water pulse growlithe, hitting it hard on the side and pushing into a nearby boulder.
"While you're busy taking out Growlithe, you think Wooper will just do nothing?" he said, as Wooper smashed into Poliwhirl, pushing it right next to growlithe as Poliwhirl hit it's head on the boulder, rendering it unconcious.
"The police should be here soon, remember my name Hikari. I'm Marcus, Marketing Director or NatX!" he yelled, as Wooper shot a water gun at Hikari, she barely was able to dodge. Wooper contnued to shoot, as Hikari dodged for the fifth time, she slipped on some water on the ground, and hit her head on the ground. She fell unconcious.
