"We gave her 3,000 because attacking the museum is a government facility" one man said. "Yes.. 3,000 Would prompt Pokemon Rangers to take her down, the same rangers we are finding the dead bodies of, this cannotgo on!" another yelled.
"The eight Gym's are Comeizo's eight political points that give our region strength, and a strong fist can prevent war. The mere fact one of them has fallen is completely absurd!" the third man yelled.
"What are we going to do? If we send Rangers after her there will be more dead bodies!" the fourth yelled.
The final man calmly analyzed the convesation before talking. "As an attack on one of our regions eight 'pressure points' As well as the mass murder of numerous Rangers, a bounty of 8,000 is appropriate." The man said firmly. "Also, as she is now a crimnal to dangerous to be captured by normal Rangers, I will be assigning Top Pokemon Ranger Ross with the assignment of capturing Hikari. I will also be assigning Ross the task of finding a replacement for the Gym Leader currently inactive."
The men thought quietly. "I heard rumours from one of the three nutorios Gym Leaders, Dragons Den Joe that the gym leader was in fact a spy for an upcoming criminal organisation?"
The men seemed edgey. "We have no proof of this, however we will also assign Ross the task of locating the missing gym leader, and debreifing him. If he was kidnapped, we will bring him back to state, if he is a spy.. Elimnation of said individual. Any objections?"
The men thought the whole thing over, before saying in unison. "Agreed".
Boots hit the ships deck, as a yawn was heard. Buck opened his cabin door as he saw Hikari smelling the oceans fresh air, in the captain's robes. "What happened to Carribean?" Buck asked. "Ginger wants me in charge while he is off on a special assgnment" Hikari lied.
Hikari took a look at the Giant Blue Steel protecting the Marine Base. "We haven't found a way around it, it's almost.." Buck said confusingly. "Almost what?" Hikari replied. "Well.. It's definately man made steel.. but I have a feeling the origins aren't so man made?" Buck said, Hikari didn't have time for cryptic clues.
"So how do we get in?" Hikari said with a sigh. "Well.. An inpact like that.. would destroy the ship" he said. "We'd have to swim back"
Hikari thought for a second. "So the ship won't survive, but we will.." she said, Buck didn't like her twisted smile, but he shrugged it off. Buck soon regretted shrugging it off when he appeared in shock. "Hikari why are we heading straight for the Blue Steel?" he said in a panic. Hikari laughed nervously. "If I can survive this, then instead of falling in the water i'm just going to jump over"
Buck sent out Wingull. "You may be the captain, but this is insane! We'll lose the ship over a tiny bit of cargo!" he yelled, Hikari quickly sent out Dustox to paralyse wingull's wings with the powder that came from Dustox's wings. "I am getting my revenge.." she said.
Buck quickly jumped over board as the ship's Hull crashed into the blue steel, the crew competely wiped out thanks to the merging of the ships wood and the bits of flying timber, Hikari quickly jumped over into the bay of her target. "You'll regret this, Hikari!" Buck yelled.
As Hikari swam in, still hiding herself underwater she located to guards as Hikari went to get Poliwhirl's pokeball. "Shit" she said. Hikari quickly remembered the damage she took to take down Carribean. She was able to heal Dustox from the morning sleep, but not everything turns out the way you want it.
Hikari had Gengar take them out individually by phasing through the ground and using Shadow claw through the chest, quickly dumping the body into the water so the other guard wouldn't see, before he to was swimming with the fishes. Hikari grabbed their keycards and entered.
"Do you call this floor mopped?" One of the marines were yelling at another. "It's probably best if I steal his uniform.." Hikari said to herself. "Now how to lure a marine.." Hikari thought, as she entered a room quetly to find a very reveaing dress. "Oh you have got to be kidding me!" Hikari said in a rage. "Did you hear something?" one of the marines said. "Shit.." Hikari hid behind the door. This worked, There was no way Hikari was wearing that dress, she'd rather die.
As the marine came in, he soon passed out onto the floor as Hikari's fists left his head. She quickly changed into the marines uniform. Hikari looked at his ID.. A leitenant. "This gives me a bit of power I can use to get around" she thought, as she left to find the man who assasinated her group.
"Leitenant Swinger! Can you do some paperwork?" a man yelled, Hikari nodded. "shit" she said under her breath. She had a guys uniform, was this some twisted Drag King scenario. Hikari shook her head. She needed to fool them long enough to get into the base.
The marine, a Captain looked at Hikari's chest. "Your muscles look curved.." he said, Hikari blushed a bit. "I should workout more" Hikari tried to say in some husky accent. Shit. Hikari would die if he started 'fooling around' but she was able to get the slip. Hikari remembered on the Captain's desk a map to a secure room, She was sure that bastard she came here for would go there sooner or later.
Hikari quietly opened the door, to see a few lab scientists and.. It was him. The man she was searching for. He is so dead.
As the lab scientists were working on their paperwork and testing, a powder swept in as the lab scientists started to drop like flies. Dustox was a good assasin. Hikari walked in and glared the man who killed her group in the eyes. "Your not going anywhere" Hikari said, both had pokeballs at the ready.
The man quickly sent Arcanine and Wooper out as hikari reacted by sending Gengar and Staravia. "I see growlithe evolved" Hikari said depressingly. "Yes Fire Stones are Easy to get with the Companies funds and reputation" he said. "Gengar, hypnosis" Hikari yelled, the man quickly commanding Arcanine to close it's eyes. Wooper passed out. "Your double batte tactics don't work if one is out" Hikari noted. Arcanine stood between Gengar and Wooper, as if to defend it until it wakes up.
"Gengar, phase and use shadow claw on wooper" Hikari yelled, the ghost phasing out, as it's dark claw was countered by Arcanine's Iron Tail. "Flame thrower" the man yelled, as Gengar countered with Shadow Ball. "Now use your speed Arcanine!" he yeled, the fast pokemon dashing around Gengar, unable to keep up with his movements. "Now Famethrower! Finish this!" he yelled as Gengar was hit with a blazing fiery burst. "Destiny Bond" Hikari yelled quickly, as the two tanks were taken out. Wooper woke up, and looked at Staravia. "Staravia Wing attack" Hikari yelled, As wooper countered with Water gun. "Mud shot won't work on a bird.." the man said, annoyed. "Staravia Ariel Ace! Lets finish this" Hikari said, as wooper was taken out. "While you were distracted with the battle, I thought the next thing you will do is try to get revenge. This bomb strapped to my chest prevents that." he said. Shit. "Your insane" Hikari said, scared. "Don't blow yourself up.." Hikari said. the man smiled. "I eliminated a group preventing income, and completed the NatX Marine Base's purpose. I will live forever in Nat'x company books! hahahahaha!" and at that second, Hikari in shock. the man pressed the detonate button.
Hikari woke up. the base was trashed. She was lying in a completely torn building. Her anke hurt a bit. Lying on the ground unable to move, Hikari saw a large aircraft carry a Blue Plate, similar to the Blue Steel. But this one looked more anti-artificial. Was this what they were experimenting on?
Hikari turned her head to her left. hundreds of metres of waste from the destroyed building, she even saw the man's destroyed remainds. Did she really go this far for revenge?
Hikari looked to her right. A small pokeball lay on the ground. She could tell it belonged to Wooper. Hikari knew Wooper was hers to begin with, how ironic it found its way back. This made Hikari's eighth pokemon.
"I might just lie here a few hours.. then see how I feel.." Hikari murmered, passing out.
Meanwhile..
A man found a pokeball as he witnessed the explosion.
The man grabbed the pokeball, and sent out what appeared to be Arcanine from the rubble.
"This is Top Pokemon Ranger Ross, closing in on a possible target"
