Part five

 

Capture

 

Black Dragonite only flaps her huge wings twice before she found herself among the five balloons. A smile that promise destruction and pain lit her face as she sails around them. The Team Rocket members within was shock by how fast she had manage to reach them they expected to have at least enough time to release their pokemon before the shiny Dragonite was among them.

"DRAGON," Black Dragonite roars as she dares them to send their pokemon out as she dips and dives around each balloon. Not a single Rocket responded, so she starts to make her dives a bit less innocent as she charges at the balloon and at the last second pulls up. This game continues without any response, until finally her wing tip caresses the top of the leaders' balloon. Then all the Team Rockets spring into action as each member aboard the two person balloons send out a flying pokemon.

This was exactly what Black Dragonite wanted as she laughs at the odds. Ten against one, an unfair battle by anyone standards, but for Black Dragonite this was just a warm up as she made her way towards her opponents. A Beedrill, first to be release, was her first target as she flaps her powerful wings hard as she charges at it.

On the ground, Reshon in a trance like state, mummer, Extreme Speed, and her Black Dragonite above seem to vanish in front of everyone's eyes. Sapphire hearing her mummer quickly turns her eyes towards the Beedrill expecting its fall. The Beedrill never saw it coming and felt the effects of it like a Sonic Boom. It's wings cut in two were slow to separate one part from the other as the pokemon looks in confusion for it enemy before it drops from the sky like a rock. Black Dragonite appears again above everyone. A twinkle in her eye as the Beedrill's trainer scream in disbelief at her pokemon's fate as she recalls it. It's more than likely that that Beedrill's days of battling is over unless its trainer can find the other part of its wings so they can be reattached.

This enrages the other Team Rocket members as they all call out their attacks as one. Pidgeot, Golbat, Far'fetch, Spearow, and Fearow all were commanded to use Wing Attack and as a group they charge. Meanwhile, Butterfree, Jumpuff, and Hopip were commanded to use Sleep Powder. It was like a game to her as Black Dragonite waits until her foes are close enough they could almost touch her before beating her wings hard in an whirlwind attack that sends one group into other. Thus making the second group release their sleep attacks before time, and forcing their trainers to quickly recall them as they drop from the sky.

"Enough," a voice booms as the leader of the group shouts. "I have had enough of this shit," he glare downwards at the girl below from his Charizard shape balloon. "How dare you humiliate the elite of Team Rocket like that?" "Flare and me will make you regret the day you every set eyes on these balloons." "Seismic Toss," he yells at the remaining pokemon his Charizard, Flare.

"Cha…" it roars as its flaming response is suddenly cut short. Black Dragonite with her fist imbedded in the pokemon's stomach smiles as she back-wings away from the watery eye pokemon. A wink to his trainer was all the mocking she needed, and all that she got. Flare recovering much more quickly than she thought engulfs her in flames with his Fire Spin attack.

His trainer below laughs openly as the pokemon's disappears within the fire.

"Just what anyone who messes with Team Rocket deserves." He boasts. Flare stops his attack and allows the flames to die down. Both were expecting to see a very burnt pokemon, but was instead shock to see a pokemon with an orb of purple surrounding her like a barrier.

"That's impossible that pokemon never saw it coming and her trainer didn't give it any commands," Flare's trainer growls in confusion.

"I put up the barrier," Reshon smirk and turns to look at Sapphire. "Now it ends, for you and all that oppose us." "Black ball!"

"Black ball?" Sapphire looks at the girl as Reshon turns her eyes back to the sky.

The purple barrier shatters as Black Dragonite absorbs it and the energy her trainer had put into making it. This made her entire body glow purple as her wings stretch to their full lengths, and the sky itself seem to quake. Purple lightning flash from out of no where as the sky suddenly went dark as Flare back wing away from her in fear.

"Flare, the pokemon in Team Rocket backs down from no one, right," His trainer scream and Flare takes a single gulp and nods. "Good, now finish her, Fire Blast!"

"CHARRRRRR," Flare screams as he complies and uses his strongest fire attack. The flaming symbol was right on target, but Black Dragonite didn't even flinch as it hit her. She just looks at the Charizard anger evident in her eyes.

"Zard," he whimpers as Black Dragonite stops powering up and gathers the attack into her claws.

"Stop her now," someone from below yells as an Arcanine races across the ground. Nothing happens and in a desperate last minute move the Arcanine attacks Reshon with a flame-thrower attack. Black Dragonite seeing the attack teleports from her place in the air to the ground in front of Reshon and release her attack. A small black energy ball flies from her claws and engulfs the fiery attack, and only the recalling of the pokemon kept it from experiencing the same fate as its attack as the move continues onward swallowing all in its path.

"Nite," Black Dragonite growls as she puts her claws together and the energy ball disappears. She then turns towards her attacker a young man in his early twenties with a smile on his face.

"You are truly powerful, but you have no control over this power," Giovanni spoke," let me show you, let me train you, Girl of Legend, Guardian of Earth." "Let me guide you."

"Guide us?" Reshon spat back in his face as the glow around the pokemon and trainer turns reddish. "We have no need for your guidance just your death."

"Now," Giovanni screams as his Nidoking pops from the ground beside Black Dragonite. Its huge claws wrap around her in a bear hug as it drags her underneath the ground.

"I choose you, Vileplume," Giovanni hurls a pokeball at her. In midair it stops as Reshon glares at the ball. A hideous squeak comes from it before it is crushed right in front of him. A smirk comes to Reshon's face as she takes a step towards him.

"Don't… need… your…guid…" she starts and then collapses to the ground asleep.

"I say different," Giovanni speaks calmly as his Vileplume drops to the ground beside him with its pokeball in its short arms. The beautiful flower pokemon than twirl once to making its petals dance in the wind as it celebrate its victory. Nidoking then erupts from the ground with a fast asleep Black Dragonite in its claws.

"You take out one and you take out the other," Sapphire speaks in amazement. "How did you know that boss?"

"You'll be surprise at what I know," Giovanni answers her as she backs away in fear. "Did you think I would be so foolish as to plan her kidnapping as far as this without calculating a traitor or two." He then produces a tape record from the pocket of his purple suit, and presses play.

"Is this line safe to talk on?" Sapphire hears her own voice.

"Yes ma'am, now what's wrong?" a female voice replies on the other end. "Is Team Rocket about to try something?"

"Yes, the boss has ordered me to battle this girl from my town and keep her here until they comes." "I think their going to kidnap her."

Giovanni then shuts off the recording. "I need no further proof," he says as he calls out his Arcanine to transport the Black Dragonite. He then snaps his fingers to call out the five trainers from the bridge. They appear from the grass beyond with dirt stain faces, and green and brown clothing on which blends in perfectly with their surroundings.

"Take care of this traitor," he speaks without looking at them, "then go and bring my vehicle we need to leave before the cops get here."

"As you wish, boss," three of the five trainers smile at Sapphire as she prepares to fight for her life, while the other two went for the vehicle

"I have work to do," Giovanni smiles as he looks at the unconscious girl.

"Pip," a small voice squeak as the purple and green pokemon watches from the distance. He had seen everything and he knew exactly what was going on. The nice-nice girl that had given him an apple is being captured, and he had to do something about it.
