I do own Pokemon, and the main character, Ruroni, flame me if you want. I know I haven't updated but I'm a bit tired, this is before Finding the Truth, this is the second adventure the two have before they met back up with Brock and bumped into Harino. Ash: 13 Misty: 14 Ruroni: 13 ˝ The Rockets all laughed at the little boy as his Sandshrew hid behind him. Just then, Ash ran up and punched the first one he saw with his right and Pikachu shocked a few as the boy and his Sandshrew ran away. "How about picking on me?" smirked Ash as the Rockets ran at him, he danced around them and knocked out each one with a hard kick. He popped his neck when he was done and triumphantly nodded and decided to leave. "This was supposed to be a trap for someone else, but you will do nicely," Ash turned around and he saw Butch and Cassidy atop the roof of a van. Misty was turning around the corner to look for him when she saw Team Rocket fire a round of bullets into his chest. She gasped since she had not told him the secret feelings she had for him, deep inside, she quickly ran over to him with her Togipi in her arms as the baby brought up a Barrier. She helped him up as her Togipi started to sway from the constant Barrier use. Misty braced herself for death when she didn't hear the clicks of death, she opened her eyes and saw the Rockets use a few descriptive words and reload their guns. "Forget the weapons, the boss was also looking for these two, besides, this will also do for him." Sneered Butch as a bunch of Rockets swarmed around the trainers, surrounding them. "Throw them into the van, before the real target-" "The real target is here!" a voice rang out as a bunch of bullets were fired into that direction. The bullets rikocethed and the boy came out of the shadows, a small Scizor was right behind him. The boy wore a cloak (this is my personal character) over his chest, a head band over his left ear, partily, a glove over his right hand and two swords on his back. He reached for both, drawing them out and getting into a sword stance, his Scizor suddenly slashed the closest Rocket's gun and attacked the next one as the boy jumped into the middle with his swords flashing like lightning around himself. The boy quickly sheathed his swords and his Scizor returned to his side as Butch and Cassidy drove the van away as fast as they could. "You should be ok-" he was slapped by Misty as she started to get red in fury, she held Ash's body close as his Pikachu nudged him. The boy was about to hit her, but he saw how Ash's Pikachu was crying over his master, and he also saw how Togipi seemed to also cry. "Lay him down¸ tell me if he has a pulse," the bpy asked as Misty reluctantly layed Ash down. Misty nodded to him and he ordered his Scizor to come over, he asked if she could place her Pokemon in her lap. "If you can, please ask his Pikachu to use a Spark on him." He asked as he unsheathed his swords and placed them over Ash's chest, his Scizor came over and clasped them in its right claw and used a Spark and then all of the bullets that had nailed Ash in the chest clinged onto the swords. Togipi suddenly ran over to Ash (daddy) and then started to use Softboiled and healed her daddy. Ash started to wake up just as Scizor was evolivng which was starnge enough as it is, when the light stopped shining, a new Pokemon stood in front oof them. It looked like an armored Scyther but instead of claws or scythes, but two swords were there and the Pokemon seemed much more different. "Cyril, cyyyy," it cried as it looked around and blinked. "Come on Masamune Kite, we gotta find Team Rocket." he was about to walk off but his Cyril had to use one of its small pod arms to poke him. "I'm sorry they shot your boyfriend..." Ruroni regretted saying that and Misty popped him across his head. "The name's Ruroni, and becareful, you could've knocked out my eye." "Yeah right," Misty said rolling her eyes. "No, for real, I'm half machine," he said as his right eye clicked and whirred. Suddenly , a figure came out of the shadows witha Espeon at her side, it was the Esper Racheal, the one they helped in Snow Town. "The name is Racheal, and could you keep your music down, I can't see with it on." Ruroni humphed as Racheal walked over and looked around, Misty helped Ash up as Masamune Kite suddenly stiffened and nodded to Ruroni. Ruroni quickly turned to the direction, about to run that way, he suddenly reliazed what might happen if he left. "Do you know the way to the Pokemon Center?" asked Racheal as she turned to the sound of Ruroni cleaning his swords. He sheathed them and lead them to the Pokemon Center, Ruroni always seemed to part the crowds without moving towards them. They arrived there, Nurse Joy gave them a room as Ash called up Oak on the Vid Phone, Misty went into one of the rooms, placing her stuff down. Togipi calmly walked around the room as Misty took out her journal. Racheal came in with her Espeon leading her to one of the lower bunks, helping her put the her stuff down. "What are you writing about?" Racheal asked as Misty freezed up and quickly started scribbllng something different on another page. "About the sick little boy with the swords, what a screwball!" she replied as they both laughed. "You just wrote that, I mean what you wrote before that," Racheal replied as Misty quickly thought of a lie. "How much worry Ash can cause!" she said, closing her journal and picking up her Togipi. "You like him, you love him, you want to kiss him," giggled Racheal as Misty turned bright red and walked onwards to the door. "SO? Sue me, is it a crime to love-" "Love what?" asked Ash. Misty stopped in her tracks and blushed. She turned her head to him and walked back into the room. Ash scratched his head as Ruroni walked over to him, Masamune Kite stared as Pikachu ate ketchup. "I wonder what that was about," "Are your eyes working?" asked Ruroni as he waved his hand over Ash's eyes. "Couldn't you see how she was crying over you, my friend, she has fallen in love with you, she doesn't just like you!" "Yes, I mean, what?" "You love her too, don't you. You probably want to kiss her," snickered Ruroni as Ash blushed and yelled back. Ruroni was up late, using his eye to hack some computer scematics, buiding one in short time. He was doing some reasearch when Misty walked in on him typing saome stuff up. "Hmmm, what the, Racheal?" she shouted as Ruroni quickly brought up another file. "You got the hots for!" "Yeah right, and I'm not typing about the new Pokemon type." he replied typing a bit more before he saved and turned off his laptop, putting it away. "You want to kiss Ash, annoying little," "WHY YOU LITTLE!!??" she put her Togipi down and barely missed his mouth with her fist. She followed him a bit, quickly hiding behind a newspaper as Ruroni tapped Nurse Joy. "Yes?" "I would like to know if this medical surgery procedure would work," he whispered, placing his laptop atop the counter, turning it on and bringing up the file. "How did you come up with this?" "I'm Ruroni Masamune," he replied as she nodded and brought up some papers from his laptop. "What it this for?" "I think that if..." he pointed to the screen and they started conversing. "...it might be able to restore someone's sight." he brought up the file that Misty saw him typing. "This is for this person, Racheal." "It has a risky risk factor, but it has a high chance of working. But we need at least forty thousand nanites." "Will this do?" he said, taking out a vile from his pocket. Misty woke up late, Ash was still sleeping without Pikachu around, she thought about it, carefully looking around to make sure they were alone. She climbed up, she looked at Ash sleeping peacefully and she sighed. She leaned closer to his face and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Your missing his lips," Racheal laughed as Misty panicked and fell down on her butt. Ash woke up because of the noise, Misty quickly got up and turned to Racheal. "It's not nice to-" "What's going on?" "You should look at yourself, you look totally goofy." "Yeah your, wiat you can see!?" Misty shouted as Racheal nodded and she blinked. Misty hugged her, Racheal laughed but stopped when her Espeon rubbed up against her. "It's okay, I might still need you, but as a friend," she said as she hugged her Espeon. Just then, somebody knocked on the door, Racheal went and opened it and she suddenly gasped. "Get away!" she yelled, using her extra lifeforce she had built up and brought up a barrier. Butch kicked her in the stomach as Misty ran at him, kicking him in the groin, then Cassidy grabbed her but Ash jumped down and hit her in the head. "Let's go," "I don't think so twerp," Jesse said, Pikachu was tied up and in a box that was thunder proof. They tried to go back in but Butch and Cassidy were back up and ready for them. When Cassidy grabbed Racheal by the arm, the nanites in Ruroni's eye turned on and woke him up. He quickly put on his shirt, grabbing both swords and he put them on as Masamune Kite followed him. Ash tried to get free but James hit him hard in the gut, Misty screamed and kicked James in the groin before Cassidy knocked her into the wall. Jesse was about to hit Racheal when Ruroni turned around the corner and shot at her with his gun. Jesse watched as nanites swept over his arm and built another weapon for him, he turned to Jesse and nailed her with the stun cannon. Ash managed to get free and grab Pikachu, he was about to get help when he heard Misty scream as James and Butch started to carry her out back. Masaamune Kite nearly killed Jesse and Cassidy but Ruroni ordered him to stand down, Ash ran after Misty but she was thrown into the back of a van. The van started up and James drove it off into the direction of their base, Ash cursed as his best friend tried to get out. "Damn it, I let them get her." Ash said as Ruroni and Racheal finally reached him, Ruroni saw how much Ash missed her so he was mad. He took out a Pokeball and threw it, and a Arcannine popped out, Masamune Kite also reached them, all of their stuff was in his metal compartments. Togipi must've have sneaked in the van with Misty when they weren't looking. "Warcanine, let down the Mirage." Suddenly, the Arcannine became the Machine evoulitoin, nearly the same but mostly armored and armed. "We got to save her," "But, we don't even know where she could be," Racheal siad, then she noticed how Ash seemed to get even sadder. "Yeah, not really. Warcanine, use Radar!" Ruroni ordered as his Warcanine looked around with its tail in the air. "His tail acts like a radio tower, hey he has it!" Misty looked around in the van when she heard some crying, she saw Togipi in a corner with its eyes all big. The van stopped and she went over and picked her Pokemon up when the doors opened and she was pulled out. She looked around at the base, they seemed to be leading her to some place important because she saw less and less Rockets. Finally she was brought before a large door, she was roughly pushed in and the doors closed behind her. Giovanni turned arounf to face her, smiling with evil. "What do want with me? "Your friend Ash has messed with one too many of our experiments." Giovanni replied, getting up and walking around his desk. "But why take me?" Misty replied, baacking up as she held her Togipi even closer. "We don't just want to take him down a peg, we want to hurt him in any way possible." Giovanni replied as Misty gulped and crouched into a chair. "You see, we know his feelings for you, so what would happen if something happened to you. He would be broken, and we could get our hands on the boy Ruroni." "Hope you like prison food, because that's what you will be eating." James and Butch came and took her to a cell, throwing her into one of the walls. Ash rode on Warcanine's back with Racheal and Ruroni as his Pikachu, Espeon and Masamune Kite ran ahead of them. They found the base, protected by all sorts of weapons and Pokemon. "I don't care how many are in my way I'll-" "Listen lover boy, she needs a rescue, not a sucide." Ruroni said as he took out at least eight Pokeballs and threw them. As each one flew back to his hand the others stared at the Pokemon, they looked like Pokemon that were in the military but they were real tough looking. They all had machine armor and weapons, two missile launchers apiece for shoulders and cannons for hands and arms. "Their called Oppon, at first, one was made to be the first Pokemon soldier but they gained intellegence and they flourished. Their type is machine, that type is very rare, only Pokemon that have been a steel type or made with macinery can be classifeid. They have many strengths and few weakness, they can actually talk, and if they faint, they automaticaly teleport to their Pokeball." Ruroni unsheated one of his swords and drew a crude map, amking a intial for eahc person. "Racheal, you take the three blue Oppon and head inside with us and take a left, knock out any computers you see. I'll take the red, green, and yellow oppon and head straight when we reach the fork. Ash, you take the two strongest ones, Veteran and Ace, you head right and look for Misty." Ruroni took out his other sword and signaled for them to wait, he ran over to the gaurds and took out all of them in a few minutes. They all headed for the entrance, Ruroni gave them each a chip and they put it in their Pokedex. "That will tell you the Oppon's attack, it will also tell you their names so you can direct them, since they don't know were here, use only one, when you find Misty, releaase the second. Remeber, their trained fighters, their special moves are Snipe Conversion, Close Range, Heavy Defense, and Black Ops. Each will allow them to change what weapons they have, since they use projectiles, they will tell you when they are out." Ruroni finished as they all split off. Ash sent out Ace, he first took out his Pokedex and looked around. "We should start there sir," Ace spoke as Ash nodded when his Pikachu let out a yell (it was hiding under his hat) and they bumped into a Rocket who was as tall as Ash. "Where did you-" "Snipe Conversion," suddenly Ace's weapons glowed and his missile launchers were replaced with two small sniper cannons, his arms and hands became normal and he held two Sniper Rifles in his hands. "Disable Shot!" Ace shouted as he fired once from all four guns and knocked out the Rocket. "If I take his clothes, I could find Misty easier!" Aash grinned when Pikachu poked Ash and pointed to Ace. "Sir, if you put the uniform on, I might mistake you," he said as Ash cussed and kicked the boy in the head. "If you ordered me to use Rank, you can designate who I can't shoot by voice or appearance." "Okay use Rank," "Desigante," Ace stood to attention. "Do not shoot Ash Ketchum, has, uh,"he said, trying to thing of something so he could be distinguished. "Voice registered, will not hit Ash's voice." Ash shrugged and he took off the Rockets clothes. He pulled his pack off and ordered Ace to turn around, he took of his vest, gloves, shoes, and his hat, putting them away. He put the Rocket hat on, pulled the boots on, he asked Ace if he had a knife, taking out a dagger. Ash took the Rocket's jacket and slashed it in half, he cut the fingers off the white gloves and put them on, he slid the shirt on and out the used to be jacket but now vest on and turned. Ace and Pikachu both shook their heads and they continued to search, they were close to the coffee room when James and Butch walked out. "Hey watch it, were the top, its you!!" they shouted as they recognized Ash's Pikachu. Ace took both out before they could move and Ash peaked into the crowded room and turned to Ace. "Use... um, what do you think would work?" asked Ash as Ace shrugged so he checked his Pokedex. "Hm, use, wait, use your Black Ops and Close Range!" Ace glowed and he held a huge rifle in his hands, two small rotary cannons were now his shoulders, and he had two huge rotary cannons on his back. "Rogue Ops; allows Oppon to combine both Black Ops and Close Range to create the ultimate fighting form, combinews the weapons too." "Go in," ordered Ash as Ace walked in, Ash plugged his ears, when he didn't hear bullets, he looked inside. All the Rockets must've been newbies, they all ran at the sight of Ace. Ash sighed and tried to look for something to help him find Misty's location when Ace suddenly spoke. "I'm picking up a Rocket broadcast, putting it on," "Attention, all Rockets, be on the look out for a girl with an Espeon, a boy weilding two swords, and the trainer Ash Ketchum! They have infiltrated the base and are attacking Rockets, there is a reward for any of them brought in alive." "We should try to find her fast, I wonder where the cells are?" asked Ash as a Rocket bumped into him. "Watch it!" "You, where you headed." "To the cells," Ash replied as he hoped the Rocket wouldn't notive him since Ace and Pikachu were right behind him. "Didja forget, their down that way and to the left." the Rocket replied when he suddenly reliazed who Ash was (weird ain't it?). He was about to hit Ash when Ace quickly shot the guy out, not killing him, but close to it. Ash ran to the cells at the sound of other Rockets coming, none of them saw him but they did find the boy. Ash kept running as Ace shot any Rocket in their way. Misty sat in a corner as a food tray was shoved under the door, Togipi went ove to eat it but she stopped and started to scoot the tray over to her mommy. Misty was crying since she never would see Ash again, she looked up when she smelt the food, Togipi looked at Misty with a pleading face. "Togi, togi, pri, togipri( Mommy, please eat?)?" Misty smiled and wiped the tears off and she started to eat when she heard the guard's radio. She contiued to eat as she listened. "Be on the look for Ash, he is in Rocket disguise, a Pokemon is with him, use caution." "Yeah right," the Rocket grunted as he looked in at her, "Don't worry miss redhead, you will have a new cellmate soon. I just care that someone comes as a relief you little scrawny baby." "SHUT UP!" she shouted as the Rocket jumped up. "Your gonna wish you hadn't said that!" he said, opening the door when another Rocket came in. "Good, you can have this brat, beat her up for me." "Ace, take him down," the Rocket said as Misty looked at the Rocket, she had seen the style of clothing before, she knew it was Ash! Ace didn't aim to kill or disable, he took out the Rocket and threw him into a cell, knocking him out. Ace turned to Misty, aiming at her when Ash realized what Ace was going to do. "Rank, Misty Waterflower, has Togipi," he shouted as Ace stopped and Ash kicked the door down. "Sorry miss," Ace said as he returned to his Pokeball and Ash sighed as Misty put Togipi down. She ran over to Ash and hugged him really sweetly, she held onto him even when the door was slammed shut by a female Rocket about Misty's height. The girl pointed at Ash and her Magby shot out a flamethrower, but Misty swerved him around so that it would burn her, luckily, Togipi used Meteronome, creating a waterproof barrier, Misty's clothes were only burned. The girl came in and both Veteran and Ace came out of their Pokeballs and used Disable Shot. "Misty, why'd you-" "Ash, I have something to confess. I love you, I was scared when they took me." "It's okay Mist, I'm here now. I love you too." she held him tightly. they stood there until Veteran started to tap her cannon on the wall. "If you two lovers are done, we have to find the others." "Okay Veteran. Misty, I think you should wear the Rocket's clothes since your's are partily burnt." he sugessted as Misty took the Rocket's clothes. "Uh Ash, you should," "Oh yeah," he blushed as he went out of the room with Ace. He ordered Ace to stand watch, Ash decided to stay with his girlfriend, just incase. She had just taken her hairband off when she let Ash in, Veteran went outside to also stand watch. "Ash, would you mind turning around?" She asked as he blushed and turned around. He was just thinking she was just going to be putting the clothes over her own when he heard her take off her shirt. She tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around, she had let her hair down, she had the shirt on and the gloves, but she still wore her shoes, she had the skirt on. "You take Veteran and I'll take Ace, we have to find Ruroni," Ash said as Misty nodded and they headed down the hall. "Did someone say they were looking for me?" laughed Racheal as Giovanni turned the corner with his new NidoJudge behind him. Ruroni burst out of the wall with Masamune Kite behind him, Ruroni turned to Masamune Kite who nodded. "You won't get away!" Goivanni shouted as NidoJudge charged for a Hyper Wave. "Goivanni, leave my friends alone. Masamune Kite, use Lightining Missiles!" The missile launchers opened and Masamune Kite quickly made a huge Spark and blasted NidoJudge who was stunned right then and there. Espeon was at the ready with a Teleport. "Use Night Arch Slash!" MasamuneKite charged up and sent out a huge shockwave, annhalinating NidoJudge. Misty was waiting with Ash and Racheal as Ruroni told the police all he had seen. Misty yawned and she started to nodd off when Ruroni walked towards them and they all headed to the Center. Misty was getting a bit too tired so she started to lean on Ash, he finally picked her up, putting her down on her bunk. Ash smiled and he was about to get under his covers when he heard her start to shiver, he pulled off the blanket and walked off his bunk and down to hers. "It's okay Ash, I'll be okay," she said but he shook his head and laid his blanket over her, he took her sleeping bag and his, putting them over her. She smiled, he lifted up some of the covers and got underneath them, she felt him get under the covers. "It's gonna snow," Racheal whispered as her Espeon snuggled up to her. "Oh great I hate getting cold!" Ruroni replied as Cyril turned on his heater while Ruroni had his nanites warm himself up. "Yeah, it's gonna be Christmas in a few months." Misty said as she snuggled closer to Ash, plaaacing one arm over his cheat and under his arm and the other under his chest and over his left arm. "Can't wait for the mistletoe, eh?" Ruroni chuckled. "Stick it in your ear," replied Ash as Misty looked up at him, moving closer to his face, (she's a couple of centimeters shorter than him) she fianlly came up to his lips. She smiled and locked lips with him. Togipi came up and snuggled in between them, Pikachu lay at their feet. Ruroni stared at them and sighed as Racheal fell asleep. Finallty got thsi one done, so onto the next one for me. See ya!
