(Author note’s) I know it has been a while since I updated, and a few people out there are probably saying about time. For those who are saying that, I just want them to know I plan to finish this within this year, so stay on the look out for more updates. Oh, and thanks for being patience with me, and continuing to read this fanfic.
Giovanni smiles at his victory as he looks down at
the prone figure of the girl. In just a few moments, everything he had every
wanted was within his grasp. He could barely contain himself from laughing as he
reaches down to pick up the girl. Her power…her destiny was now all his to
control, and it fill him with this overwhelming strength; an untouchable,
uncontrollable, burning strength, and Giovanni’s laugh reach a frightening
height as his hands scoop underneath the girl. The power he had hungry for all
his life was now at his fingertips, and as he made this move to pick her up…
all hell broke loose.
In the blink of an eye, in the batting of a single
eyelash Giovanni found himself flying through the air. He couldn’t remember how
it happened later on, but his elite rockets above could describe it for him in
plenty of details, but not a one would dare. He skids to a halt at the feet of
one of the trainers, and like a pack of geese they surround him. Each trying
their best to help him in one way or another as they neglect Sapphire entirely,
but she didn’t complain as she starts to sneak away. She had only manage to get
a few feet from them when a huge THUD brings the trainers back to reality as
Giovanni’s Arcanine hits the ground sleep. No one could see the little hopip in
the grass as it made its way to its second victim.
“Stupid pets,” Hopip giggles to
itself. “Without someone giving them commands it’s like fighting a Magikarp.”
It was true. Giovanni hated
willfulness in his men as well as in his pokemon, and thus he trains them to
obey his rules without question. To obey his commands without feelings or
hesitation, and thus when he was not around his pokemon were more like living
dolls than actual living and breathing creatures. They would not attack or act
on their own even to save their own lives, and would only follow one command
not giving by their master, retreat. In such a case, they would just follow
their master to where ever he is being taken, until he wakes up and gives them
further commands. This was their mindset, and the way they were raised from the
time they enter into this world. They knew nothing more, and were completely
unaware that there was something better. Yet, Hopip didn’t give such a thing a
thought as he merrier drops Giovanni’s Vileplume, and then moves on towards his
Nidoking.
This wasn’t good for Sapphire as the trainers look
up to see her in their sights. The leader at once recognizes that they had
almost made a fatal mistake as he reaches for his pokeball. Giovanni would kill
them for failing in their mission, and so he tosses the pokeball a few feet
from himself as a green plant pokemon appears with a,” TANGELA.”
“Bring her back,” he shouts at the pokemon. It needs
no further bidding than that as a long vine shoots from its body grabbing
Sapphire around her ankle as she tries to run. One quick snag, and she finds
her world dissolving into greenery as she falls on her face. Like a fishing
rod, the vine starts to snake back into its ordinal body dragging Sapphire back
to her fate as one huge fiery pokemon sweeps and dives in the sky.
Flare so wanted to get revenge for what had happen
before, but he knew that he had to wait for his master’s order. It circle once,
and than twice as the dark black helicopter comes into view. It would seem that
Giovanni’s ride was here, and that meant it was almost time. Flare so love that
thought as he twirls in the sky doing a cartwheel in the air. His master, in
the hot air balloon only smiled wickedly as the Helicopter descended to the
ground.
The trainer whom was the second in command chose
that moment to give the order as he shouts at the top of his lungs for
Giovanni’s pokemon to retreat. Only Nidoking move as the other two continue to
sleep. That meant they would have to leave not only the girl and the pokemon
behind, but also two of the boss’s prize pokemon, that wasn’t going to go over
well when he woke up. Yet, none of them would risk being left behind to do
anything about it. Besides, they did their job, and the third couldn’t help but
smile as he watches Sapphire cover in vines look back at them in horror. The
trainers were still new to the Team Rocket organization, and thus their pokemon
in Giovanni’s eyes were still untrained, but to the trainers that just meant
that their pokemon took certain initiatives like binding something in its vines
when it got close enough without being ask. Thus, Sapphire found herself wrap
tightly in its bind attack being drag in whatever direction the Tangela was
heading, and in this case, it was the last place she wanted to go…towards that
helicopter.
Like a vision of death, it drops right in front of
them. Sleek and long, its black metal glow in the sunlight, and this alone kept
Hopip from following them as he stop just short of where the Nidoking sat
waiting on its master. He had plans to put them all to sleep, especially the
evil humans, but it wouldn’t dare getting too close to that giant pokemon.
Instead, Hopip raise its leaves to try to blend in more with the grass around
it, so that the giant flying pokemon wouldn’t notice it.
“At least, for now…the nice-nice girl was safe,”
Hopip sign to itself in a whisper as the three trainers quickly lift their
leader and carts him inside as the tangela drags Sapphire screaming loudly onto
the helicopter with Nidoking in tow.
<Everything would be at peace again> Hopip
thought as the black pokemon starts to lift off slowly from the ground. Its
great wind making Hopip’s still raise leaves blow backwards as it found itself
clinging to the grass around it, so it wouldn’t be swept away. It was over now,
or at least that was how it seems before the area burst into flames.
“Pip,” he looks to the sky just in time to see a
Charazid twist in the air before flying out of view. “Girls are nothing but
trouble,” he yells loudly as he turns to stare into the heart of the flames.
This was a plant’s pokemon’s weakness, it’s living
nightmare, and though it terrify Hopip greatly he had come to far to fail the
nice-nice girl now. Thus, with a huge gulp of air, and an attempt at a smile he
rush into the heart of the flames to continue what he started…to rescue the
nice-nice girl!
A few minutes later elsewhere… Giovanni awoke with a
terrible headache. In a foul and painful mood, he turns to his underlings, with
questions on his lips and punishment in his hands. The tale they told him did
not go over well as he knock the closest of the three trainers hard to the
ground, and grab another one by his throat. Only what the leading trainer told
him spare the one he had in his hands from a slow and painful death of choking
as he drop him without a care to the ground. He might have lost the greatest
power this world would every known, but at least his secret would remain safe.
He could always find another way to take over the world, but for now, he smile
downwards as Sapphire’s whimpering fore, he had others things to occupy his
time. The three trainers breathe a sigh of relief at the fact that he hadn’t
notice the one part of the story they had neglected to tell him yet, his
missing pokemon.
It was thirty minutes later when Officer Jenny along
with the fire crew manages to put out the flames. With a grunt and a down
played curse, Officer Jenny surveys the damage to the area. They had lost it
all, Sapphire, the girl, and worst of all any chances they might have had in
tracking down Team Rocket and its boss. She didn’t think things could get any
worse when a sudden cooing from her pidgey grabs her attention. The bird
pokemon dove straight down in a line signaling that it had found something in that
area, and she heads in that direction. To her surprise in the mist of what seem
like the worst of the fire slept a girl and two of her pokemon, a Black
Dragonite (sleeping as well), and a slightly burnt Hopip. She didn’t even want
to try to figure it out as she calls her pigdey to her, and then before the
bird had a chance to land sent it back out to retrieve the rest of her forces.
“We made it,” Hopip signs in victory
as it faints.
