A Rocket’s World- Part 4 _______________________________________________________________________ Disclaimer- I forgot to put these on the others, but I do not own Poke’mon (duh.) Do not sue me for using their Characters, because all I have is a Walmart gift card for $25. Also I am too young to go to prison. ____________________________________________________________________________ NOTE: please review. I can only improve with constructive criticism or praise and please no major cussing. ____________________________________________________________________________ Jake walked through the town, looking for a Poke’mon Center. He started walking across an old bridge when he spotted it. He started running towards it, and the bridge gave out. As he fell, he looked down. There was a raging stream, and at the end of it, a waterfall. Just as he thought all hope was lost, something grabbed hold of his shirt collar. They landed in the water and the creature pulled Jake to safety. Jake stood up and turned around. There was a black and yellow Manectric. It barked. “Did you save me? Well, thanks,” said Jake. “Manectric! Get over here!” yelled someone at the top of the cliff. It whimpered. It started walking away with its tail between its legs. Jake followed it. It walked to a steep slope and turned around. It looked at a cave near the slope. Then it started up. When they got to the top, the man grabbed the Poke’mon by the skin on the back of its neck. “What kind of Poke’mon are you! Wondering away from me, why I never! Okay, back in your Poke’ball.” The Manectric shook its head. “I said get in there!” The Poke’mon whimpered and went in its Poke’ball. Then the man turned to Jake. “Hello! My name is Allen,” said the man. “Sorry if my Manectric caused you any trouble. He’s always getting into trouble.” “Caused trouble? He saved my life!” said Jake A twinkle came to the mans eye. “Then would you be interested in buying him?” “What?” asked Jake. “Buying him. I have no use for him, you like him, and he is a rare special-colored Poke’mon. How about it?” Jake thought for a second. He still had a lot of money, and it seemed like a good Poke’mon. Plus he didn’t have an electric Poke’mon in his party. “I’ll take him!” said Jake. Jake paid the Allen and Allen handed over the Poke’ball. The Poke’ball itself was quite strange. Instead of red and white, it was purple and white with two pink circles on the sides and a pink “M” in the middle of them. Jake walked to the Poke’mon Center. He went up to the counter and got a room to sleep in for the night. “Alright, this is room 48,” he said as he unlocked the door. It was basic. A bed, a nightstand, a TV, and a bathroom. He set his book bag on the bed and turned on the TV. “Team Rocket is now taking over Kanto,” the news lady said. “As you can see behind me, this barren patch is what is left of the Safari Zone, after Team Rocket members caught all the Poke’mon and burned it down. Breaking news, Team Rocket is now in Celadon City. Anyone in this area should evacuate now. Just like Johto, Kanto will soon be under control of Team Rocket’s notorious leader, Giovanni Ketchum. If things keep going in this direction, we may soon be living in a Rocket’s world. I’m Cecilia Cash, signing off.” Jake was dumbfounded. Just as he got out, they started attacking. He was no better than his father, hiding from his problems. He ran knowing Giovanni was looking for him. Next would probably be Hoen, or Orre even. Those Rocket members are probably looking for him, along with their conquest of world domination. He had three choices, give up, keep running, or take action. He chose taking action. He got a good night’s rest and healed his Poke’mon. Then he ran to the docks. Samuel’s boat was already gone. All the boats were gone. He had one option. “Go, Dewgong!” The seal-like Poke’mon appeared in a red flash. Jake grabbed onto its neck and told it to jump into the water. “First stop, Johto. Specifically Olivine City.” said Jake. Dewgong started swimming as fast as he could. When they were finally out of Orre’s waters, Dewgong fainted. It returned to its Poke’ball and Jake started sinking, and everything went black. When Jake woke up, he found himself on a beach. He stood up and looked at the ocean. A great white and blue bird was flying away. The bird turned its head around and said, “Good luck, son of the Chosen One. Just like your father, the fate of the world is on your shoulders.” Jake watched it fly away, then looked around the beach. There was a giant, burned tower, with large letters that said “Johto Trainer’s Tower.” He was on a beach near Olivine City. Just as he suspected, he was right next to Olivine City. As he walked around, he saw many Rocket members with Houndooms and Houndours. He then saw a giant tower with a giant “R” on it. “Whoa! This must be Team Rocket’s main headquarters.” said Jake. He looked at the very top. It seemed more like an old lighthouse than a headquarters for an evil organization. He knew he couldn’t just walk inside. There was probably two hundred Rockets in there. And at least one of them would probably recognize him. He had to see inside. He needed to get help. Then he felt his eyes get heavy. A golden dust surrounded him. He fell to the ground. He woke up in a daze. “Man! How many times am I going to get knocked unconscious in this story?” said Jake. He looked around. He seemed to be in another secret base. “Finally! He woke up!” said a boy, his voice sounding as though he was around seventeen. “I think you overdid it, May.” “Shut up, Max!” said a woman, “Hello, I’m May, and this is-” “Let me guess,” said Jake, “ this is the Johto Team Rocket Rebellion secret base.” “Sounds like he hit the nail on the head,” said the boy. “I’m Max.” “Wait, my mom said my dad trained with two people by that name in Hoenn, when they went their separate ways for about a year.” said Jake, “And if you’re them, why are you in the Johto Rebellion?” ____________________________________________________________________________Sorr y this one is so short. I haven’t had much time to work on it. I’m hoping to update at least once more this month, if schoolwork permits (seventh grade is hard!) Next part may be the last. Its getting hard to think. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. J
