Pokémon Trainer Hero
Chapter 62: Government interference. Part.2
Gar runs out the first doors of the school and runs around the building until he reaches the corner where the hidden Pokévault is being hidden away, looking more like a sheet from the outside. Once he rounds the corner he sees dozens upon dozens of secret agent-type people all surrounding the perimeter of the vault! All of them yelling commands and directions to one another, throwing weapons and detonation equipment to burst down the door! Some of them had huge bags ready to grab Pokéballs in droves! All while alone Nidoking was holding the front defense! Roaring and stomping his feet while throwing chunks of dirt! Gar felt his bills boil at this scene and he felt the urge to scream. Instead, he used that anger to yell a command at Nidoking.
"Nidoking, use Rollout!", He screamed as nearly half of all eyes present shifted onto him.
The rhino dinosaur Pokemon smiled confidently at this command and curled itself into a ball before twisting its body in a circular motion and rolling at a high-velocity speed! After Gar shouted his command, several of the secret agents tried to apprehend him! Only to fall short as Nidoking rolled into their path, tearing up the ground in a dirt path, flattening and launching several of them with only a few managing to stay out of the way! Only for Nidoking to turn around and roll over the next batch that tried to grab the Pokemon Trainer!
This continued with nidoking rolling around in random directions and mowing down anyone unfortunate enough to get caught, but there were still so many of them left! And some of them were even setting explosives on the door of the building! Gar had no idea what to do or even how to stop them! Sure Nidoking was keeping them busy, but there was only one of them and dozens of them! Just then his struggle was seemingly heard as the explosives were ripped from the door by an invisible force and thrown into the air where they were manually detonated, leaving no damage. Gar briefly wondered who or what did that until they revealed themselves. Flying over the scene agents with physic fire in his eyes was none other than Mewtwo looking ready for battle! The agents were now in a panicked frenzy at seeing the Legendary Pokemon staring down at them like a pissed-off god, and scrambling to do anything!
"Mewtwo! Just in time!", he shouted with joy as the Pokemon nodded at him. Gar looked at the group of people still trying to get in and shouted, "Use Psystrike!"
With that command, Mewtwo didn't hesitate to immediately create the attack and launch it at the largest condensation of people! Causing a huge explosion and backlash from which people were either engulfed or thrown away like rag dolls! Luckily this gives him enough of a distraction to bolt for the door and luckily they hadn't been able to break through it yet. Gar almost thinks victory is in his hands until he was proven wrong when the agents pulled 180 and managed to show their resourcefulness and subdue the God-level Pokemon! Three of the agent's most huge gun-like devices on their shoulders and launch three projectiles that fly through the air and make contact with Mewtwo. They look like metal bands that clamp around its writs, head, and body. Before Mewtwo could even process what was happening, the bands glow and electricity comes out which binds them together and shocks the Pokemon! Making it lose control of its Physic power and sending it plummeting to the ground!
"No!", Gar yells while dashing over to the grounded Pokemon.
Gar tries to reach for the metal bands but pulls away as he receives a nasty shock! Once the pain subsides he notices that not only are they keeping the Pokemon restained, but subduing his physic powers! Even if Mewtwo were to try fighting back, his brain is too scrambled by electricity to for thought into action! Mewtwo was out of the game. Gar then heard Nidoking screech from behind and whipped his head around to see him caught inside of a net and begging held down by the agents! Gar knew that desperate time calls for desperate measures. He didn't want it to come to this, but these people weren't going to make it any easier. He had to use a trump card!
But first, he needed a distraction. And luckily he had just the one on hand. Without missing a beat at the steadily approaching agents, he clicked a Pokeball off his belt and threw it out into the battle zone. It burst open and Tyranaitar manifested before several of the agents, who rightly freaked out and ran from the sight of the giant Pokemon as it roared at them! Some agents brandished weapons against the Pokemon, but one glare for its intimidating stance sent the weapons to the ground for shaky hands!
Gar ran to the hidden keypad and rapidly began punching numbers as he commanded, "Keep them busy with Dark Pulse!"
Gar disappeared into the vault and Tyranaitar shot a beam of Dark energy at the mass of oncoming agents, sending many flying or making direct contact with the attack! Gar heard the commotion and explosion from the attacks outside as it echoed away into a hum while he ran deep into the stairwell. Once at the bottom, he opened another door with different requirements, and once that was open he was in the main vault. From there he wasted no time in running past all the secured shelves filled with his Pokeballs and the empty ones ready to hold more he brought in. He ran to the back corner and touched a pad that recognized him and revealed a hidden display case hidden behind a trick mirror. The display case was marked with a sign that read 'Legendaries'.
"Voice Recognition Required for Access.", said the AI.
"Open!", Gar shouted in a panic.
"Voice Recognized. Greeting Garfield.", replied the AI as the glass case opened and steam was ejected.
Gar grabbed one of the man Master Balls lining the case and ran back outside! Closing all the doors along the way and putting the whole vault in lockdown! Once he got out again, Tyranitar was still managing to hold off the agents, but not for long. Gar took another look at the Pokemon and saw that he was also in the same bind as Mewtwo, but thanks to its natural resilience and its typing, he was able to hold back for this long. However, the strong Pokemon finally collapsed from exhaustion caused by the bindings and fell to the ground on his stomach.
Gar patted the Pokemon back and told him, "You did a great job, take it easy and let me handle it from here on."
Gar stood up and stared down at the remaining agents surrounding him. Not one of them dared to make a move closer or brandish a weapon towards him. Even though he looked calm and confident, Gar was scared out of his wits. Tightening his grip on the Master ball he held. He saw how they hesitated and knew this was maybe his only chance at a more peaceful resolution.
He breathed through the nose and announced, "I want to speak to your leader! I know those two bozos you sent to distance me weren't the real thing. So where are you?"
"I'm right here.", called out a voice from the crowd.
Gar watched as the sea of suited men and women separated to show a smaller and scrawny built man with orange hair slicked straight up in the air. Wearing the same suit and glasses as the other agents. The only difference is he had a gold something or other on his chest, showing his rank.
Gar raised an eyebrow at seeing the man casually walking near him with such causal swagger. "You're brave to fight alongside your boys, I'll give you that.", he complimented the man.
"Flattery will get you nowhere.", the man replied with a serious yet angry-sounding tone.
"Yeah, and vice versa.", Gar shot back.
"Are you going to give up?", the man smiled cockily at him.
Gar laughed at this and exclaimed back, "Funny, I was just about to ask you the same thing."
The man pulls down his glasses and says in disbelief, "Really?"
Gar nods his head with a sideways smile and replies, "Dead serious. You may have numbers, but I have power.", Gar lifts his hand and shows the master ball he holds, much to his confusion, and Gar tells him, "I'm willing to negotiate since your goons are getting squeamish around just me."
The man growls while fixing his glasses and growls as calming as he can, "I'll let that comment about my boys slide this time. But what negotiations are you talking about?"
"You all leave in peace or I wipe the floor with you. What will it be?", he offers the man, only to see him falter and then burst into laughter alongside the rest of his groupies. Gar snorts at this and says in a low tone, "So be it. Don't say I didn't try to be the better man here.", Gar presses the button on the Master ball, throws it, and yells, "Go Rayquaza!"
The ball pops open and out comes a very large and long Pokemon that seemingly defies gravity by hovering in the air! Rayquaza is a large, green, serpentine Pokémon that also resembles a missile. It has red-tipped, rudder-like wings on its shoulders and down its body, and similarly patterned fins on the tip of its tail. Yellow ring-like symbols run across the length of Rayquaza's body and it has an additional yellow ring on top of its head. Rayquaza has two limbs with three-clawed hands, and two long, flat, horn-like structures on its head, with two shorter horns along its jawline. It has small, yellow eyes with black pupils, prominent pink gums, and two discernible fangs in its upper jaw.
Gar expected some kind of shocked or amazed or even fearful reaction at seeing the King of the Skies but instead got an amused look from the man, and with a comical stifle he asks, "You're gonna fight us with some green flying worm? Are we supposed to be scared?"
Gar sighed, generated by the reaction, and told him while dawning a Megaband, "Oh no, you should save your fear for the second part."
The leader wondered what he was talking about until Gar touched the Keystone and chanted his monolog, "Keystone reacts to my heart. Unearth the power that lay deep within Rayquaza's stomach and bring it forth within a new extension of itself. A new power to hold, a new form to take, defy all odds, defy all nature! Defy evolution and MEGA EVOLVE!"
The strange beams that radiated from the Keystone traveled not to the Pokémon's body, but instead to its stomach where it curled in on itself as the sphere formed, hardened, cracked, and finally broke apart to show Rayquaza in its Mega form! As Mega Rayquaza, its body becomes longer and gains more features. Its head becomes longer with the Δ symbol appearing on its forehead. Rayquaza's eyes now contain yellow pupils and red irises, and black, shishito-shaped markings trail behind its eyes. Its red lips and teeth become gold, and the gold lines connect to those on its lower horns, which take on a broad, triangular shape. At the outer edges of its lower horns are long, golden, glowing tendrils that each extend to a green, fin-like structure; these tendrils have ring patterns that strongly resemble the yellow markings running along the length of Rayquaza's normal form. While in flight, these tendrils give Mega Rayquaza a Δ-shaped profile. Its two upper horns become longer with a gold line running over them in a V shape, and each upper horn has another glowing tendril that ends in a circular shape with a spike. Along the length of its body are golden, glowing orbs placed where its ring patterns used to be. The chin, part of the neck, and parts of its serpentine body are changed to the color black. The fins running along its body are now marked with gold lines; the fins on its tail become entirely yellow and substantially longer. Particles stream from the long tendrils that extend from its jutting jaw; these particles control the density and humidity of the air, allowing Mega Rayquaza to manipulate the weather.
The Pokemon roared upon the end of its evolution and floated up into the air before circling to reposition itself. This time Gar got the reaction he wanted from the leader and all his men! Fear, shock, amazement, awe, and everything in between! The leader shifted his gaze from the Legendary to the young man who only smugly smiled at his flabbergasted expression. From here he changed his expression from bravado to serious irritation. The winds whipped widely around them as lightning and thunder crashed and exploded around them! As if Rayquaza's mere prices seemed to throw the earth into sheer madness!
Gar stared holes into the man's head and said to him over the now whipping winds, "I'll give you one last chance! Leave or find out what it feels like to be obliterated by a natural disaster!"
The leader at first looked frightened, but it soon melted into anger as he bit his lip hard enough to draw blood! He growled at Gar's proclamation, threw his glasses on the ground, and yelled like a madman in the face of the Legendary Pokemon and his trainer! He snapped his head to his terrified men and yelled, "What are you idiots waiting for?! It's just like the rest of them. ATTACK!"
The other agents seem to scramble in a panic at the mixture of fear from their leader and a living god! They tried to situate themself and properly hold or align their weapons to attack, but ended up acting like chickens without heads!
Gar glared at this sight, groaning with aggravation as he shook his head and said, "So be it. Rayquaza!", he called to the dragon who gazed a single eye on the young man. Gar didn't look up at his pokemon, only continued to angrily stare at the agents as he said in a low tone, "Dragon Ascent."
Rayquaza smiles a toothy grin at the command and rises into the air with poised grace until he vanishes from sight. Before anyone of the agents could think or get a feel for the situation, something green shimmered and glinted in the upper atmosphere, far past the clouds. Then a moment later and the glimmering glinting thing reveals itself to be Rayquaza who was barreling down towards the people at near light speed while shaped like an arrow! No one had a chance to think or breathe as Rayquaza suddenly accelerated from the sky to the ground in a flash! The Pokemon made contact with the group and caused a silent white light and noise explosion that bathed everyone and everything before going black!
The leader agent woke up after feeling like he took the world's shortest and most painful nap ever. He was dizzy, hot, his body was vibrating, his vision was blurry, and his ears rang like crazy. He could barely process the world around him, even when he arched off his stomach. When his head cleared a bit he saw that everything and everyone was in disarray. The once green field he was once on was now bare dirt with smoke rising from several areas. The sky was still a dark grey, and all his men were laying in the dirt. All of them were seemingly unmoving and none responsive to his call, if he was even making any sound, not one was left standing.
Then he felt something grab and squeeze him so hard his senses returned! He felt the grip on his body tighten and then raise to the open maw of Rayquaza! The man screams in terror as the dragon prepares to put him in his mouth and chew him up! But before that could happen, a sharp snap reverberates across the area and Rayquaza stops mid-motion before pulling him away from his mouth and turning him towards a very familiar and very unamused face.
Gar's expression changes from unamused to smug as he says to him, "Well Well Well. You must've thought you were pretty Thievul to try such a stupid plan like this…..did you even make this plan? Did you think that Rayquaza was like any other Pokemon? You seemed so prepared, I'm almost embarrassed for you."
"Screw you, you damn alien!", the man yelled at him while trying to struggle free.
Gar snorts angrily at him with knit eyebrows, and states, "First off I'm human, and why do I keep having to explain this? UCK! I feel like this is going to be a common occurrence for me."
"You're not getting a single word out of me you freak!", he yelled defiantly.
Gar smiled like a psycho and asked, "Bet?", this made the man flinch as Gar followed up saying, "Cause I reeeeally think you will. You've caused a lot of trouble, especially to my Pokemon. Do you think I'll forgive you so easily?", Gar threateningly asked the man while whispering in his ear. "I've got lots of questions for you, and it would be a shame if you immediately went from experiencing a natural disaster to a compressor.", he told him as Rayquaza tightened his grip, causing the man to cry out.
"OH HO HO HO HO! My my, you're certainly correct in that assumption Garfield. That would be a shame. We do have so much to talk about.", the eerie and threateningly jovial voice of Nezu echoed out as the small animal walked up to Gar and climbed onto his shoulders. He then took a device he was carrying around and pressed a button. To which he looked at Gar and told him, "Your Pokemon are free from these nasty restraints."
Gar smiled at the animal and replied, "Thanks Nezu."
The man growled and spat at the Principal, "Screw you, you damn rat! I'm not taking orders from a diseased animal! How in the hell did you take such a position in human society?! You should've died in the lab you were created in! You were a mistake! The Government should have put you down."
Although Nezu was still smiling, it was only a means to cover the intense fire that billowed behind his eyes! Even gar felt the anger vibrating inside the animals as he sat upon him, making even him nervous! Nezu looked at the giant Pokemon holding the man and said simply, "Rayquaza."
Despite having just met the creature, Rayquaza obeyed his vague order and squeezed the man a little harder, making him cry out louder. After a few seconds of this, Gar waved Rayquaza to let up a bit, allowing the man to breathe.
"Now then, I believe you see our point. Correct?", Gar asked with crossed arms.
"Point?", the man painfully asked incredulously.
"We ask you a question and if we don't like the answer or you refuse, then you'll be one step closer to having a collapsed rib cage.", Nezu explained their ultimatum.
"Go to HeEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!", He yelled out as Rayquaza squeezed him again.
"Shall we try this again?", Nezu asked with a dangerously inviting tone.
"I'm not telling you two freaks anything! If I do, I'll be sent to federal prison!", the man said with genuine fear behind his angry-sounding voice.
Gar idly snapped the headband around him and told him with a casual tone, "Well it's broken bones or prison or both if you wanna. Either way, if chest compression won't do the trick I have other methods to make you squeal like a Tepig.", as he said this, Mewtwo floated up beside them, looking incredibly pissed off and making the man sweat bullets. "And they're not so pleasant.", he finished off as Mewtwo lifted a stone and made it turn into sand.
The man-made a small frightened sound like a cornered animal and his eyes reflected it. Nezu saw this and turning to gar he told him, "I think he'll talk now."
Gar nods, trunks back to the man, and asks, "First off, who sent you?"
"The government.", he shoots back quickly.
Gar groaned in aggravation and corrected himself, "I mean who in the government! Those two idiots you sent to distract me said something about the President. It was him wasn't it?"
The man said nothing but solemnly nodded.
"Why would he do all of this? Tricking us, breaking onto UA property, and trying to steal from us. Why? What purpose does it serve to treat us like this? We work for justice.", Nezu asked with a hint of disappointment and sadness in his tone.
The man growled and spat, "Oh shove it you damn lab rat! You know damn well, why! Your accomplices to this foreign freak! And you think you have any real power? You're just a figure that the real bosses put in and put up! Why they choose you is beyond me."
The man huffed and puffed after his rant while Gar and Nezu kept their composure. The two of them looked at each other and nodded. When they looked back at the confused man, Nezu said with a calm tone, "I think you just lost a rib privilege."
Before the man had the chance to process that, Rayquaza gave one slight but sharp squeeze, and a loud snap was heard from within the man's body. He flicked for a moment before suddenly bellowing out a devastating scream of agony! He cried and screamed for several minutes before finally subsiding enough to talk.
"Now then, are we done with the petty insults? Are we gonna act like an adult and answer questions properly?", asked Nezu as the man looked up at the man with spit on his face and tears in his eyes. Nezu smiled darkly and beamed, "Splendid!"
"Why. Did. You. Do. This!", Gar demanded as he held the man's head up to look at him. "I can tell you hate me for whatever reason you have. You volunteered for this. So why? You, and the President."
The man takes several seconds to compose himself before he speaks and stammers out as best he can, "You're too dangerous. Too powerful. You're a threat! Everyone is scared of you!", he takes a moment to break and compose himself again. Only to get an awkward blink from Gar. "You think you're gaining the acceptance of the public? You're just delusional. Everyone is scared of you. And I've personally come at the behest of the President and his cabinet to put you away or put you down! Someone like you shouldn't have that much power!", he exclaimed.
"Wow. you are an idiot.", Gar says with a deflated and unimpressed tone from his speech. Making the man make a confused and angry gurgle. "You think I'm a threat and have too much power, and sure you may be right about that. But you don't even know me, and you think I'm some kind of villain? The only one who is delusional is you and the rest of you brainwashed Magikarp.", he told him with a serious glare, trying not to let the weight of his words show their effect.
Only for it to fade as Nezu pies up and proclaims joyfully, "If it weren't for Garfield here, we would've been in more trouble with these other villains than I'd care to think about. He's been a great asset to UA and any others he's helped.", making him smile.
The man lowered his head while making strange noises or anger and pain and disagreement before voicing his displeasure. "You're wrong! You're all wrong! The President knows what's best for the people, and I intend to see it through no matter what! If he says you're too dangerous then that's that!", he proclaimed with full certainty.
"It's no wonder you climbed the ranks as young as you are.", Nezu chuckled, making the man stare at him curiously. "You were so easy to manipulate and brainwash.", thus making the man growl and frothed at the mouth. Nezu chuckles again at his reaction and informs him, "But unlike you, I know how to act and play the game. That is how I got this position. It pays to be a professional chess player."
"Next question, is this all of you?", Gar gets to the point while motioning to the downed but alive agents.
The man nods in shame as he says, "Yes. I thought it would be enough."
"Guess you didn't account for a God, did you?", Nezu vexes him.
"What were you planning on doing with my legendries and other Pokemon after you stole them?", Gar asks the next question.
"Protect the people of Japan and defend against all who oppose it.", he replied with certainty and determination.
Nezu chuckles at his answer and says back, "That's a colorful way to say dictatorship and worldwide conquering."
The man growls at this and tries to say, "You don't-!"
"Shove it! I'm asking the questions here!", Gar cut him off, actually making the man shut his mouth. Once he was quiet Gar rubbed his head and asked the Principle, "You got anything else, Nezu?"
Nezu shook his head and replied, "I think all I need to hear is what was said. I'll let you take it from here.", with that finished he hopped off his shoulder and lets Gar deal with him.
Gar turns to the man and asks him, "So how should I send you back to your master, hm? Riding a whirlwind, launched by a laser beam, or even a tail flicked over there?", the man trembled at those options. But Gar waved off the thought while saying, "Nah! Your body isn't built like mine, you'd never make it.", the man sighed with relief at this mercy. "But I do have some ideas of what you should do.", he told him with a dark and threatening tone.
The man shivers as he anticipates what's to happen! Gar grabs his hair as he's looking away and forcefully trunks his head to face him as he says with a deadly yet soft tone, "Now listen closely. After Rayquaza lets you go, you gonna scrape up your little posey off the ground, get back into whatever hunk of junk that took you here, and go back to whatever hole in the wall you crawled out of with your tail tucked between your legs. You're gonna go to your boss and tell him everything that happened here! And you tell him that if he ever tries something like this again, then I'll show him what a threat looks like! Tell him I said that. Okay?", he adds with a smile that wasn't friendly at all! To which the man rapidly nods and squirms while making painful sounds. Gar chuckled with a smile and closed eyes, an expression that screamed 'faker', and finished up with demanding, "Good boy. Now get lost."
With that, Rayquaza drops the man on the ground and after a moment of initial pain shock from his injury, hobbles over to his underlings and begins to pick them off the ground and tell them to hurry up and collect the others. Despite the vast number of them they all manage to leave the UA property in just under a few minutes. With the sound of their military-grade truck skidding away as Rayquaza gives one last roar! Once fully gone, both Gar and Rayquaza calm down, but the Pokemon doesn't devolve back into its original form. After quickly checking up with our other Pokemon, he walks over to the Principle, who hasn't left and gives his apology.
"I'm sorry about the mess, Nezu. I didn't mean to, it just happened. I'll have one of my Pokemon take care of it.", he says apologetically while rubbing the back of his head.
Nezu waves it off and tells him, "You have nothing to be sorry for. You only did what you could in a dire situation and made it work. That is the true mark of a hero.", Gar couldn't help but smile and suddenly wonder if he deserved such praise. But Nezu changed the subject and asked the young man, "But enough of the School, what of you? What are you gonna do now? I see that glint in your eyes. I've seen it before. You have something in mind.", he asked with his mischievous glint.
Gar sighs, knowing he can't hide anything from this mouse man thing, he nods and admits while petting Rayquaza, "Yeah, you're right. I do have something in mind. There's something I have to go out and do."
"What's that?", he asked back.
A dark aura goes over his eyes and he replies with a malicious and angry yet serious tone, "Something I probably should've done a long time ago."
"Well…..don't get into too much trouble.", Nezu advises him with a dark chuckle.
Gar snorts at the statement and jokily says back with a serious tone, After all this? Psh! I don't think there is any way I can."
