Hi Everyone! This is chapter 5. I plan to put around 10-12 chapters in this story. Hope ya'll like it. Mail all questions, comments, and complaints to me at Luckvillag@aol.com. Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon. The see-through Pokéball idea came from a comic book series call Pokémon Adventures that I got. Mike and Stealth are based on my friends from school. Agent Lee is a character I made up. Warning: ? This story is rated G! Here we go! - Mario Chapter 5 The Battle Begins "Hey," my friend, Mike greeted. His Dratini slithered up behind him. "Hey, cool. You got a Dratini," I said looking down at his Dratini. Mike nodded. Police Officers herded everyone to the cafetaria. I followed everyone in there bored. "Ok, everyone listen up!"shouted a man in a black fancy suit that reminded me of the secret service. He stood in the stage of the cafetaria."Here's the situation. Team Rocket took over your main campus. You are to take out there Pokémon while the police officers and I arrest them. Any questions?" said the man. "Who are you and how do you know about Pokémon?" somebody shouted. "Forgive me. I am Agent Lee of the FBI. We learn about Pokémon from my son,"answered the man. "What do I get for helping?"demanded Mike. Agent Lee laughed at the comment. "We will giveu a very poor version of the Pokéball and also a Pokémon badge. We will call this badge the Eduacation Badge." said Agent Lee. He paused to see if there were any other questions. "No further questions? Ok, we move out,"said Agent Lee after a while. The police men began to pass out a Pokéball to everyone. It was silver on the bottom and see-through at the top. I found that very strange. I threw the Pokéball at Bulbasaur. Suddenly, it popped open. "What happend?" I asked confused. "Bulba (I blinked),"answered Bulbasaur with a nervious smile plastered on his face. "Blinked......? Ugh!"I groaned as I hit the floor in shock. I threw the ball again this time suceeding in capturing Bulbasaur. I looked at the ball and saw Bulbasaur throught the top. "How is it in there?" I asked. Bulbasaur spun around a few times before answering. "Bulbasaur Bulba(It's nice and cozy),"answered Bulbasaur. Suddenly the lights went out. We heard Agent Lee yell out and then a crash on the floor in front of the stage. A spot light appeared showing two annoying familiar faces. It was Jessie and James! "Prepare for trouble!"shouted Jessie. "Make it double!" followed James. "Pikachu, thunderbolt!" shouted Ash. Pikachu leaped off his head and ran straight for Team Rocket. "Wait, can't you wait until after we finish the motto?" whined James. Pikachu used his thunderbolt attack that sent Jessie, James, and Meowth blasting off again. There was another crash as the doors were knocked down. Team Rocket members began pouring in the room calling out their Pokémon. We were being ambushed. Team Rocket was attacking us before we attack them. "Get'em Rattata!"shouted an old Rocket. His Rattata stood ready to fight. "Go Bulbasaur!" I shouted throwing the Pokéball letting him out. "Use sleep powder to knock it out," I instructed. "Use your quick attack,"said the Rocket. Rattata disappeared in a purple blur. Suddenly Bulbasaur was on his back moaning in pain. "Finish it off with tackle!" shouted the excited Rocket. That was a big mistake. As soon as Rattata was in range, Bulbasaur let sleep powder loose putting it to sleep. "Choke hold,"I said. Bulbasaur used his vines to wrap around Rattata by the neck choking it. "Throw it," I said after a minute. Bulbasaur threw the Rattata at the Rocket knocking him off his feet. The old Rocket recalled Rattata but got arrested before he could call out another Pokémon. Not far away was Stealth's Cubone fighting a Machop. I noticed that Cubone had learned some of Stealth's Karate. The two Pokémon were exchanging punches and kicks. Machop drew his hand back and used a mega punch attack. Cubone blocked it with his bone club hurting the Machop's fist. Cubone swung his bone club at Machop but Machop dodged the attack. "Try the trick bonemarang and then leer," instructed Stealth. "Low kick that sucker," shouted the Machop's trainer, a member of Team Rocket. Cubone turned away from Machop and threw his bone club. Machop took this opputnity to kick Cubone right on the bottom. Cubone cried out in pain and leered at Machop. Machop backed away surprised. The bone club that Cubone threw flew back towards Cubone but he didn't catch it. Instead, the bone flew right on to Machop's nose K.O.ing it. To the right of the battle with Cubone was Mike and Dratini against a Koffing. Koffing blew some smog at Dratini. Dratini was hit but wasn't poisoned and not badly hurt. Dratini reared up and slamed in to Koffing. "Wrap it," said Mike. "Sludge attack now!"commanded the Rocket. Koffing coughed up some sludge and spit it at Dratini. The aim was terrible and missed Dratini entirely. Dratini wrapped itself around Koffing until it was knocked out. The school was actually winning. Team Rocket's Pokémon had more expereince and we were outnumbered but we were actually winning. Bulbasaur beat up 2 Machops after beating up Rattata. But suddenly, the tides began to turn. Team Rocket members decided to call on thier stronger evolved Pokémon. Team Rocket began to win. Some Pokémon trainers were lucky to got away in time. I saw some officers dragging away the Rockets they captured. "Use your leech seed!" I said pointing at a Machoke coming after me. Bulbasaur grew a seed out of his bulb and tossed it at Machoke. The seed hit Machoke and grew around it sucking out energy and giving it to Bulbasaur. "Rip off that sorry seed and give it the siesmic toss!" shouted the Rocket. Machoke picked up Bulbasaur and threw him. I quickly recalled Bulbasaur and started to run. But I was too slow and Machoke picked me up in his arms. "Carry him to a cage in the base and toss him in," instructed the Rocket. I was carried out of the Ninth Grade Center and towards the actual Highschool building. I struggled to get away but Machoke was too strong. Machoke carried me in to the foot ball stadium. I looked around and saw that all the bleachers were removed. Rows of cages replaced them. This reminded me of prison. Machoke took me to the nearest one and threw me in. A Rocket closed it and locked the door. I looked around the stone walls around me and saw a wooden bench on the corner. I sat down knowing there was nothing I could do now. Soon, Pokémon trainers were captured left and right. Many of them struggled with all thier strength but none of them got free. Cages were being filled up all around me. But I didn't get a room mate so far. I noticed Stealth being dragged in by two Rockets. One of them had a bloody nose. I guess Stealth must have fought them. Stealth was locked in the same cage as me. "Hey, you ok?" I asked concerned. "Yeah, I'm ok," answered Stealth. "Now what?" I wondered. "Maybe Ash and Pikachu will save us," suggested Stealth. "Stop! You can't do this!" screamed Ash as he was dragged past us. Pikachu was nowhere to be seen. Pikachu must be in his Pokéball or Ash would have demanded Pikachu back. "Maybe Misty and Brock will come to our rescue," said Stealth. "Let me go! Let me go now!" screamed Misty as she was dragged in to the staduim. "You won't get away with this!" threatened Brock as he was carried in by a Machoke. "Maybe um.......,"thought Stealth out loud. "Don't jinx it!" I shouted in a hurry. We fell silent and decided to try to escape at night. Our Pokémon rested in thier Pokéballs. We waited for them to regain thier strength. What will happend next? What will happend to Lucky and his friends? Will Team Rocket ever get to finish there motto without getting interrupted? Find out next time.
