The sky was overcast with black clouds. There was a slight breeze coming from the sea, but with every second wind became stronger and stronger. Cold and silent night quickly turned into a powerful thunderstorm. Wind blew so strong, nearly causing trees to fall down. Thunders were slashing through the storm sky. Then rain started to pour. It poured with incredible power. The ones who summoned the thunderstorm were standing in front of PokeTec Laboratory. Pokemon and it's master... <><><> "All units to PokeTec Laboratory! Repeat! All units to PokeTec Laboratory !" the CB radio shouted. The young redhead girl in her early twenties reached for receiver. "It's unit 7483! We're on our way!" When she hang off the receiver she said to her partner "Speed up, will ya!" "Ok, ok." Her brown haired and tan skinned partner said while steping on the gas. They turned sirens on and disappeared in stormy night. They drove through the streets of Cerulean at full speed. They were only a blue & red blur. When they arrived at PokeTec Laboratory they noticed that they were first unit that arrived here so fast. They were alone and without backup. "What should we do ?" redhead asked. "I think we should go in if we want to catch the thief." answered her partner. "Yeah I think so too, but didn't they said: All units to PokeTec Laboratory ? I mean don't we need a backup ?" "True, but we don't have anymore time. We should go in NOW if we really want to catch him." said tan skinned guy. "Ok! Let's bust in!" shouted redhead girl drawing her gun. Her partner did the same. They slowly opened the door and steped in. Lobby was dark and empty. Everything around them was so quiet... too quiet. Only audible sounds were their footsteps and storm raging outside. "No one is here." she said lowering her gun. "Don't let your guard down Misty." "Sorry Brock." she answered with small smile. "Ok. I think we should go to the security room and check if we can find something." "That's good idea. Let's go. We must hurry if we still want to catch him." When they entered the security room they looked around. They noticed about 10 monitors surrounding main screen. Misty sat down by the computer and searched for something helpful. Meanwhile Brock searched throught the monitors for something or someone. Few seconds passed. "I got him!" they both said in unison. "He's on 5th floor in Research Department! Let's get him Brock!". After that they dashed to elevator. Unfortunately they didn't spotted another person on 6th floor... <><><> "Ding" the sound announced their arrival. Both of them slowly steped from the elevator, holding their guns in readiness. Brock walked in front of Misty. Even if she was adult now. He was still protective about her. He didn't want her to share the same fate as Ash... About 5 meters (15 feet) in front of them were two winged doors leading to Research Department. "Should we bust in or make it quiet ?" asked Misty with enthusiasm. "It would be better if we go in, as quiet as possible." said her partner. Brock very slowly and carefully opened the door, then peered in. He saw nothing more than darkness. He walked inside and Misty walked after him. They both looked around. It was a big room with many computers, and scientific equipment. The eastern and western side of laboratory were made out of glass. Centre of room were dimly lighted by small lamp. At the far end of the laboratory, in centre of the north wall stood a person. "That's him." whispered Misty. Every part of his clothing was black. Black, long, stretched trench coat which reached to his ankles, black t-shirt, black trousers and black heavy boots. He also wore a black fingerless gloves. His hair was black too and reached to his shoulders. He was terrifying. After few seconds they noticed that he had a black backpack. "CRACK!!!" Brock and Misty both jumped, then they turned their heads to western side of laboratory and saw that part of the glass wall couldn't resist the power of rageous wind and scattered to small, sharp pieces. Wind blow through the laboratory causing everything to fly around. Stranger's long coat and hair were fluttered by the wind. Now he looked more terrifying than earlier. He looked like a demon. Misty felt shivers down her spine. She snaped out of it and pointed her gun at stranger's back then shouted "Freeze! CCPD! You're under arrest!". Brock pointed his gun at him too and said "Put your hands on your head and lay down!". Stranger only turned around and scanned them with his glowing golden eyes. His hair fall half across his face and obscured part of his vision. He blew the lock of hair out of his eyes with an upturned lip and a gust of breath. After this he simply smiled. Then Brock repeated his sequence "I said put your hands on your head and lay down!" Stranger didn't even flinch, he just stared at them, deep into their eyes. Misty had a feeling that she knew this stranger for years, and his eyes... were so familiar. She was being mesmerized by them. She heard a distant voice calling her name. "Misty. Misty! MISTY SNAP OUT OF IT!" shouted Brock. Her gun was laying on floor and she was staring at thief. Redhead quickly picked up her gun and again aimed at the stranger. "Surrender! Building is completely surrounded! You don't have where to escape!" shouted Brock. Police sirens cloud be heard in distance. Again thief didn't say anything and again he only smiled. There was strong gust of wind and Misty and Brock heard a soft clicking noise behind them and they turned around only to see two gun barrels pointed at their faces. Gun's owner had the same attire as first thief. His hair was brown and spiky, eyes were grey. He had strange green and yellow pendant which represented Ying Yang symbol. "I think we can escape from here without any scratch on us." said the thief with Berretas and then gave a faint smile. His voice was familiar to Brock and Misty. "Oh and one more thing, drop your guns." <><><> Officer Jenny busted into lobby with her S.W.A.T. Team. She had the same attire as her Squad only difference was that she didn't wore any protection on her face. Desert Eagle gripped in her hand. They made their way to guard room and Jenny quickly checked monitors. "Damn." she cursed under her breath when she saw that her best friends were taken as hostages. "Ok. There is two of them and they have two hostages. You know the tactics." she quickly briefed her team. <><><> "You've got what we came here for, Satoshi?" asked thief armed with guns which were still aimed at cop's faces. "Yes, Shigeru I got it, and you?." for first time he had said something in front of the two cops. His voice was really familiar to both of them. "Yeah I got it too." he answered. Then abruptly vision of S.W.A.T Team advancing to Research Department come to their minds. "S.W.A.T Team." whispered Shigeru. "Remember don't kill them, they're on our side... though they don't know that." his partner reminded. "Yeah I know... but anyone from them would kill any of us with pleasure." he said sarcastically. Then he put his guns into strap holsters. "Brock, Misty lay down because it'll be really hot in here." They didn't have a choice, so they obeyed and layed down. Doors were blasted away with small amount of C4 and S.W.A.T. Team busted to laboratory. For Satoshi and Shigeru time dramatically slowed down... or maybe they moved so fast? They could see every single bullet coming their way. Shigeru tilted his head to left in order to avoid bullet coming straight to his face. They're good, he thought. He looked at his friend who had sidestepped three bullets coming straight for his torso. Then he felt something zip next to his ear, it was another bullet. He focused on battle. Satoshi made a run in direction of nearest officer, still dodging bullets. He knocked out Colt Comanndo from his hands with roundhouse kick then with another kick he cut him down from his legs. When officer was still in air he punched him hard into torso sending him to ground, unconscious. He advanced to next one with incredible speed. He struck him hard in torso. Officer was cut down from his legs in spot. Satoshi hit another policeman with his forearm. He was sent flying. Next officer was powerful struck with fist, slamming him to ground. Three of the officers landed on ground in the same time, unconscious. Fourth officer fired at him but he easily dodged the bullets then caught him by arm and threw him forward from a half-turn. But before cop landed, Satoshi ran up to him and struck a powerful match kick striking him on wall. Meanwhile, Shigeru was fighting with his group of cops. Satoshi's friend grabbed two nearest cops and throwed them in air. While they were airborne he jumped to them and kicked both of them. One of the officers were smashed to ground, and lay there motionless. Second one was still in air like Shigeru. Thief made a flying roundhouse kick striking cop to floor, after that he landed next to another officer. He jumped again pushed back with leg from officer's shoulder and kicked him in face. <><><> Misty never had seen something like that. Two thiefs dodging bullets and disposeing all S.W.A.T. Team with ease. It was incredible and unbelievable. Within seconds all Squad members were laying down on cold floor unconscious, except for Jenny. Laboratory was completely destroyed. Holes in walls and floors still smoking, cracks, destroyed equipment, shattered glass and of course burned doors... Before Jenny could know all her Squad was down. She quickly scanned area for thiefs, but before she could blink someone had taken her gun from her hand. "I will take that." said Shigeru and after while he added "Nice gun... ohhh..." he had taken clip and looked at bullets "...tytanium ammunition. I'm impressed." He gave her gun back to her but without clip. "Stop joking Shigeru. We must get out of here. Unless we want more training." He said smiling. "You won't get out of here." barked Jenny glaring at them. "Wanna bet?" asked Shigeru as he drawed his guns. Fear crawled to Jenny's heart, but he aimed them on eastern glass wall and shot few times. Glass shattered to million pieces. Chilling wind and smell of ozone filled destroyed laboratory. Storm was still raging outside the building. Satoshi and Shigeru ran up to destroyed, glass wall and leaped into darkness, coats flapping behind them. Redhead girl quickly picked up her gun and ran up to spot were two thiefs escaped from. "What are you doing Misty!?" shouted Brock as she looked down. "What do you think? I'm going after them!" she answered. "You saw what they had done to my Squad! You can't stop them!" "I don't care!" and when she said it she leaped into darknes just like two thiefs had done few seconds ago. Brock quickly grabed his gun and said to Jenny "I'm going after her! She might need help!" then he run over to the same spot were Misty stood a moment ago and jumped out of the building. I'll regret this, Jenny thought and followed Brock. ***End of Part 1 _____________________________________________________________________ I hope you enjoyed it.
