A/N: The Fine Lookin' Houndoom is back, lookin' as fine and hot as ever! It's been a wonderful time writing this story, staying up way past my bedtime, never getting enough sleep, and acing all my classes too! Ah that's the life for me! The only thing more I need make my life perfect is to dedicate my life to God, since there's nothing else that's more important. Don't you agree? And maybe a cat and a python would make things lovely too. Well, let's set this story off, and get to other stories!

 

Chapter Five: A Sliver Hope In Light Of Sarcasm

 

Sakaki's Mansion, Tokiwa City

Sakaki: "Have the preparations been made?"

Yamato: "Yes sir, but one thing I must know. Why did you reschedule and move the party to your mansion, along with everything else, including the prisoners?"

Sakaki: "Because, it's more appropriate to have it here don't you think?"

Yamato: "But, sir…!

Sakaki: "Enough of this, meaningless questioning, make sure that Hiroshi, and Shigeru including you and your partner and the rest of the Rocketeers are ready to fight with their Pokemon."

Yamato: "Umm…Yes sir!" She said quickly, but her intuition told her something was underlying this party. Once she left the room, he snapped his fingers and a legion of his Yatohei (Mercenary soldiers) appeared from the shadows. Still with his back turned he spoke.

Sakaki: "You don't know how important this event is to me. So I don't need anything to screw this plan up, so you have my permission to destroy anything that gets in our way."

Yatohei: "As you wish…" They hissed before they dispersed. As evil smile curved its way on Sakaki's face.

Sakaki: "Now it begins…It's all a matter of timing Satoshi…" When the group got there, it was sundown, almost twilight.

 

Outside Sakaki's Mansion, Tokiwa City

 

Kanzen: "Hey guys no time no see!"

Musashi: "Who's the kid twerp?"

"A friend of our that we helped out a while back. So how are things?"

Kanzen: "Just peachy. Me, Ampharos and Raikou will take out the security system. I should be done in about twenty minutes."

"Yeah. Ok guys this is what we do, Musashi Kojirou and Meowth, you guys bust out my friends after Pikachu gives you their Pokemon. And Pikachu, you go get mine and others, and come back to me.

Pikachu: "You got it!"

 

Pikachu: "Ah ha! There it is! Aw shoot…It turned out that there were millions of Poke-balls from the various Rocket members. Then she got a wicked idea and set to work. The party wasn't as exciting as everyone there thought it would be. So to break the boredom, a Pokemon Tournament was started. Just then Pikachu came back.

"So did you get them?"

Pikachu: "Yep, of course I left a little surprise for the Rockets. Use Lugia, and Noctowl, they're really your Pokemon, I just took care of them."

"Now with Meganium, Feraligatr, Lugia, and Noctowl back on my side, we can't lose…" He released all of his Pokemon from their balls so he could talk to them.

Houndoom: "Finally! I was getting' sick of that damned poke-ball. Promise me you won't put me back in there!"

"Trust me when you're finished you'll want to."

Charizard: "Enough idle chit chat, what's going on? Hey I haven't seen you in a while!"

Meganium: "I'm just glad to back on the team."

Feraligatr: "Pikachu told us everything so let's fight!" It turned out to be a boring Tournament still up til' Hiroshi and Satoshi were facing off in the quarter-finals, then it got interesting, even though Hiroshi was the favored victor, had the home field advantage. He was getting support from the crowd of Rocketeers as if the Yankees were playing against the Cardinals in New York. (Piece of info for those who are not well informed. St. Louisians hate New Yorkers and that goes either way. I should know, I'm from New York, live in St. Louis…Life's tough, especially since I'm an avid Yankee fan, when I'm suppose to be a Cardinal fan, and being called "pond scum" during September, and October. There's a piece of my life I don't mind sharing. Now back to the story!) Satoshi recognized him easily, but Hiroshi was so ignorant that he didn't care. The only thing he cared about was beating Satoshi to a bloody pulp.

"This is a one on one match. Trainers go!"

Hiroshi: "Go Zippo!"

"Man, that's such a gay name for a Charizard! I feel so sorry for it. I'll choose Feraligatr! Use Hydro Pump now!" It hit Charizard, but caused a explosion and Charizard tried a surprise tackle bursting through the cloud of dust, but Feraligatr was no fool, he anticipated that move, and slid out of the way dodging it, and Charizard flew right by. Feraligatr took this advantage to grab Charizard, swing it around and send it slamming into the wall where it fainted.

Hiroshi: "How could he…?" There was murmur among the crowd of Rocketeers saying, "How could one of our strongest lose to 'amateur' trainer?" Satoshi just gave him a cold look that said, "I expected better from you…" Shigeru watched his next opponent, walk by, with his trademark sneer on his face, as if he was going to squash him like a bug.

"Our next opponents will be battling it out with only three Pokemon each, for the chance to be inducted into Team Rocket-dan! Trainers go!"

Shigeru: "Go Umbreon!"

"Typical…Go Meganium!"

Shigeru: "We're gonna' whack that weed aren't we Umbreon?!"

Umbreon: "You got it!"

Shigeru: "Use your agility!" It made circles around Meganium, but she knew what to do in this type of situation, she did it to Karin's Houndoom. She let out a cloud of sleep powder and jumped around in it, to get covered all over in it, then went for Umbreon. She used a barrage of razor leaves to slow it down, which were covered in sleep powder, they didn't hit, but the sleep powder was released, that made Umbreon a bit drowsy. Then, she used a vine whip to finish it, Umbreon was stumbling around like it was drunk, which made it a easy target, and Meganium threw Umbreon into a wall, using it's vine whip. Shigeru gritted his teeth, as he called his Pokemon back. He just couldn't believe that his 'undefeated' was beaten by a 'weed'. "You were fortunate that time…but now it's over! Go Arcanine!"

"Meganium, do you want to stay out and fight?"

Meganium: "You bet! I haven't been in battle for a while!"

Shigeru: "Heh, your 'weed' may have been lucky then, but now it's finished! Arcanine use Extreme Speed!" Meganium slid aside, and tripped Arcanine by using her vine, and sending it flying in into a wall.

"Come on Shigeru, that can't be your best Pokemon…"

Shigeru: "Yes, that's right…" Now with a maniacal look on his face. "My strongest Pokemon! Nidoking! Go!"

"You ready for this?"

Meganium: "No doubt about it!"

"Use Sunny Day!" It became very bright in the room, as if it were noonday on a cloudless day, though there was no sun.

Shigeru: "Bad move…Nidoking use Fire Blast!"

"What?! Meganium use Solarbeam fast! There's a Fire Blast headed toward you!"

Meganium: "Great…just when I had everything under control…" She collected enough energy to make a Solarbeam. The Fire Blast hit its target.

"My gosh! Is Meganium out? We'll have to wait til' the smoke clears folks!" Then suddenly a light appeared from the smoke, which turned out to be a Twin cannon of Solarbeam with Fire Blast, and it KO'ed Nidoking, burning it to a blackened crisp. "What the Devil…? Um…Meganium's the winner!"

Meganium: "Yeah, yeah, I know I've got skills."

Sakaki: "So who won Yamato?"

Yamato: "A eighteen year old boy, who won using only one Pokemon, per match. He even put Shigeru and Hiroshi to shame in front of the others!"

Sakaki: "It has to be him… Bring him here immediately…"

Yamato: "Yes sir." So she managed to pull him away for the crowds that were congratulating him for his win, and told him that the 'Boss' wanted to see him.

Sakaki: "So you're the one who beat my top trainers in Team Rocket-dan. Aren't you a bit young?"

"Aren't you a bit judgmental?"

Sakaki: "No matter, I want you to be a part of Team Rocket-dan. We could use your skills to help us."

"Thanks but no thanks…I was just looking for a good battle, but apparently I can't…" He said giving him the cold shoulder, and advancing towards the door, but three Rocketeers came from the shadows to pin him to Sakaki's desk.

Sakaki: "I'm not a man of violence…but I'll kill your friends if you don't… I always get what I want, got it?!" Satoshi laughed bit when he said that.

"You're such a hypocrite…And a spoiled brat too…Did your mommy spoil you, or were you born this way…?" His words were dripping with sarcasm. Sakaki punched him in the stomach for that, but it was all worth it to see the look on his face.

Sakaki: "How dare you drop me to your level…" Then Satoshi leaned close to Sakaki's ear.

"And you hit like a girl…" Even the Rocketeers were finding it hard to contain their laughter.

 

Musashi: "They should be just around the corner…Ack!"

Rocketeer #1: "What are you doing down here?"

Musashi: "Hmph! That's none of your business!"

Rocketeer #1: "You better watch your mouth…" Before he could hit her Kojirou knocked him out cold. And, when ever there's one guard there's more to follow.

Musashi: "Arbok go! Use your wrap attack! Come on Kojirou send out Weezing!" Arbok took care of half of the guards, and Weezing tackled the rest. Now, they were Pokemon worthy to be reckoned with, of course not as well trained as Satoshi's but quite strong still.

Kojirou: "Didja' grab the keys?"

Musashi: "Yeah!" She ran down the hall to Kasumi and Takeshi's cell and opened it then opened the others.

Utsushi: "Finally!"

Musashi: "Here are your's and Redi-Hisankusa's now run to the Sekiei Highlands!" They ran off. (The best way to get rid of them for a while until the very end or the sequel crossover.)

Kasumi: "We're staying here!"

Takeshi: "What's going on here!" Musashi handed them their Pokeballs. Just then Kanzen, Raikou, Ampharos, and Pikachu came running down the hallway.

Pikachu: "Whoa! What the heck happened here?"

Meowth: "Long story!"

Pikachu: "Where's Satoshi?"

Kanzen: "He was dragged into Sakaki's office for winning that tournament remember?"

(We'll see bout' that!)

 

Sakaki: "Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop this! I'm not being funny!" Satoshi was rolling on the ground laughing as if Takeshi told him that all the food in the world was eaten by Pikachu. Of course he continued to laugh. Now even Sakaki was wondering if the kid had lost his sanity. "Persian go!" Still laughing Satoshi sent out Charizard that used tail whip, which sent Persian to the wall. Then he recalled Charizard then sent out Hou-Hou.

"You're no fun Sakaki-san, so I'm leaving. Hou-Hou use Sacred Fire."

Sakaki: "Noooooo! You can't do that!"

"But, I just did…" Satoshi flew out of there, on Hou-Hou's back passing his friends. "Get out of here!"

All: "Right!" Anyone who valued their lives, ran towards the Sekiei Highlands, where legions of Joh-is and Junsars waited to arrest the Rocketeers and patch up those who were injured.

Kasumi: "Is…it over?"

Takeshi: "I…I think so…"

"Hey you guys okay?"

Kasumi: "Satoshi! I missed you!"

"I missed ya' too."

Pikachu: "Yeah, yeah, yeah…Enough of the mushy stuff. I sense a evil presence here, but stronger than before. I'll be right back."

"Where are you going?"

Pikachu: "Don't worry I'll be back when you need me most." He sweatdropped.

"Yeah, when ever that will be…"

  

There a slight rumble from the rubble from the remains of Sakaki's mansion. Then he burst out from the rubble with his red suit tattered and beaten, but long from defeated. His Persian rose up too, completely intact. Its eyes narrowed to slits and looked at Sakaki.

Persian: "That boy might be tough, be we're tougher…"

Sakaki: "Shall we finish this…?" It nodded. A dark cloud loomed over where they were standing, causing some sort of evolution to happen, and causing them to polymerize into one monster that was a fifteen feet tall, with long fangs and claws that were thirsty for blood. Satoshi's blood. It opened its dragon like wings to find its prey.

 

Musashi: "Well since Team Rocket-dan is out the way, what should we do?"

Sakaki: "Suggest that you prepare for trouble kiddies…"

"Not you again!"

Sakaki: "This time I'm no pushover."

Kasumi: "This time, we're all fighting!"

Sakaki: "Shut up water girl! This isn't your fight!" He smacked her aside.

"Hey leave her out of this!" Shot a Fire Blast at his arm.

Sakaki: "See! He can't resist the thrill of a fight. It's in his blood, he loves to fight. Right now I bet that his powers are reaching their peak."

"What are you talking about Sakaki…" He growled through gritted teeth.

Sakaki: "Haven't you ever wondered how you could understand Pokemon, having a close bond with them, possessed skills as a trainer that no one had?" He couldn't come up with an answer. "Because you're Mei-Hasaki!" Then all his Pokemon popped out of their Poke' balls.

Charizard: "Waitaminute…You're trying to tell us that Satoshi here is the Master of the elements Fire and Darkness and Guardian of all Pokemon?!"

Sakaki: "Ask Houndoom, she's the one who knows more than anyone!"

"Why her?!"

Sakaki: "She's the only Fire and Dark type Pokemon known." Thousands of pairs of eyes were looked in Houndoom's direction. Satoshi got down on to Houndoom's level. She was crying, because she let this get too far out of hand.

"Is it so…? Come on Houndoom, you can tell me."

Houndoom: "Please understand…I didn't want it to go this far…B…but you are his successor, Mei-Hasaki, my master…"

Sakaki: "I'm Sakaki! Master of what lies beneath…Now let's battle." He flung his paw in the ground, attempting to crush him, but all it hit was the flame shield he put up, and pushed him back several feet. "Why you! Huh where did he go?" He was floating in the air placing his hands on Sakaki's cheat right about where his heart was.

"I hope you don't mind a bit of heartburn…" He formed a energy blast of Fire at him sending him through the forest a mile away. Charizard started to fly towards him, but was stopped by Houndoom.

Houndoom: "He doesn't need our help for now…" Then a jet of black energy was aimed back towards Satoshi.

"The fool…" He just quickly absorbed most of it adding it to his powers, the remain was headed towards the people. "Er…Charizard, Typhlosion, Hou-Hou!"

Charizard, Hou-Hou, and Typhlosion: "On it!" They created a barrier using their powers, which afterwards left them exhausted. Houndoom had to make a decision.

Houndoom: "Charizard, have the rest of Satoshi's and Kasumi's and Takeshi's Pokemon protect the people, I've got to find Pikachu, she's the only one who can fully transform. Satoshi should be fine for a while, but it's only a matter of time before his powers run out."

Charizard: "Uh…right. One thing though, be careful…"

Houndoom: "Nahhh…You don't worry about me."

(By the way, where did Pikachu go?)

 

Part Two: On The Wings Of A Prayer…

 

Pikachu: "Where is that temple…? It shouldn't have been this far…Ah ha! Here it is." It was a rather impressive temple, made with white clean marble, and gold Corinthian columns and golden steps. There was a pool in the middle where the moon was supposed to reflect and light up the place by reflecting that light by many mirrors, that were strategically placed all over the place. Even Pikachu was impressed by this place, and muttered a, "Chuuuu…" Then she remembered why she was here in the first place. She ran towards a statue of Awairashita, her ancestor, foremother of all Pichu and Pikachu. She prayed for guidance, power, and holy spirit to be added to her. When she rose up, she was Hi-Shashu (Which means Light Archeress for those who wanted to know.) in a blue and light blue temple garments, with and a bow and arrows gripped in her left hand. "Thank you mother…"

Houndoom: "Come on Hi-Shashu! Satoshi needs our help now!" Her voice carried very well in the temple.

Hi-Shashu: "Yeah, right…Knowing him he hasn't even started yet…" 

Sakaki: "What happened to all that power kid?" Smacking Satoshi into a rockface. Now he was the one who getting the brunt of the beatings. Satoshi just got up and paced back and forth. Then he took off the cape/coat he was wearing, revealing the sleeveless black shirt, and black pants he was wearing underneath it, then faced Sakaki again.

"Don't say a word…You'll feel it soon big mouth…"Black blades rose up out of the ground, and with a single movement of his hand, they were sent towards him, slashing through him drawing blood, splashing everywhere.

Sakaki: "…I might not be…able to defeat you but…At least I'll be taking someone with me!" He snatched Musashi up in his large fist.

Musashi: "Ahhhh! What are you doing!?"

Sakaki: "Do you think I'm doing? Tell me…"

Musashi: "I don't know!!"

Sakaki: "I think you do…" Musashi was quite afraid of what this manic could do to her. "Show me, what you're thinking…" He slashed her deeply with his claws. It was a miracle that she wasn't killed. Everyone turned their heads, they couldn't stand to watch.

Kojirou: "Musashi!!! What do did you do to her!!!?"

Sakaki: "I just did what she was thinking. Now really is that so wrong?" Turning to Musashi, "Is it?"

Musashi: "Please stop! Just because I was thinking it, doesn't mean I really want it to happen!!"

Sakaki: "I love this game! So tell me, what do you think I'm going to do next? Think hard now."

Musashi: "I don't know! I don't want to think about it!"

Sakaki: "But you already have…And it's a tasty idea…" She cowered in fear, as he rose his tail with a stinger at the end and struck her, again and again until she was barely alive.

Kojirou: "Stop! Don't hurt her!" But, he was easily smacked aside.

Sakaki: "What's next? What should I do? Show me what you fear…"

Musashi: "Please no! Not that…" She whimpered a bit knowing the doom about to fall on her.

Sakaki: "Very well..." He struck her again and again until she was brused and bloody. "Here's you girlfriend." He threw her limp body to him.

Kojirou: "Musashi…? You took away my Musashi! You'll pay for what you did to her!" And if that were on cue, a arrow shot through Sakaki.

Hi-Shashu: "Take that you sick…" She said while shooting a arrow in mid-air.

"Where did you two come from?"

Hi-Shashu: "I'll take over from now on."

Sakaki: "You?! You're a weakling compared to me."

Hi-Shashu: "Then you haven't seen my true form…" She got down on all fours, and got in a position as if she was going to howl at the moon, then she glowed with a white and grew bigger, a lot bigger…

 

Part Three: Lady, You're Really Creepin' Me Out!

 

When she was done evolving, Messenko was about ten feet at shoulder, completely white, with long 'pika' ears (rabbit ears) with black tips at the end, she was as limber as a Typhlosion, but as slim as a Persian, with a platinum blonde horsetail, be she kept the blue eyes, and the red cheeks. Then two blue, ribbons shot out of her back. She let out a howl that was very pleasant to the ears. Then she turned to Sakaki giving him a menacing glare, with hate all behind it. She prepared for her first attack. She leaped forward and dove into him, now extending her claws into him, roaring for all it's worth. Getting blood, her beautiful white coat was shame to see, but there were other things to celebrate about. She slashed right and left, repeatedly several times, doing each one for every time Team Rocket-dan caused her and her friends suffering. She finally stepped back, covered in blood, and licked the blood off of her as Sakaki fell apart into nearly quivering parts. Then, she let out a victory cry, which was followed by many others. Everyone was happy that Sakaki was gone, and Team Rocket-dan was defeated. Anyone could see the expression of happiness, on everyone's face, all except Satoshi's. Something was terribly, terribly wrong…And only he could sense it. A small earthquake started, which seemed to be getting larger and larger, and was soon felt by everybody.

Messenko: "What is this?" Preparing to fight anything that was about to appear. Then another explosion occurred, revealing the silhouette a woman in a black suit. As the smoke cleared you could see quite clearly now. "Oh…no not you…"

Ma'am Rocket: "That's right." Meowth would have said something, but he was too overcome with fear. Even Messenko was a bit scared, because she thought she defeated her a long time ago, and it was nearly a draw, but Messenko, used her last bit of energy to shot a beam of energy through her. "I want my revenge now…" Her eyes turned completely black in angry, and sent a strong black wind, the force equivalent to a hurricane blowing the Pokemon and people back several feet, knocking them out unconscious, and only Satoshi and Messenko remained untouched, and unmoved.

Messenko: "Satoshi, this is who was really behind Team Rocket-dan. Sakaki was her son. I don't think I can defeat her a second time. If I can't you might have to."

"How can I beat her if you can't?"

Messenko: "It's always about the can'ts isn't it. Listen to me, don't doubt yourself. And if you lose you, well let's say, we're all screwed!"

"How comforting…"

Messenko: "Just remember who you're fighting for." That was the last thing she said before she leaped toward her rival, extending her claws to their longest length, ready to strike. The other, started to evolve into a Pokemon of equal looks, size, and power, the only difference was Messenko was white she was purple, and black. They were both equal no one getting the upper hand, until Messenko, missed a blow and drew back, allowing Ma'am Rocket ample time to wrestle Messenko to the ground biting her neck. She howled in pain, then let out another full of melancholy, as she gave Satoshi a desperation look. Instead of getting sad and crying, he was angry and seething. He grew angrier by the second, he was angrier than any Charizard could have been. He sunk into the ground. Fissures in the ground and black swords appeared everywhere.

Ma'am Rocket: "What the hell is happening!" She screeched.

Messenko: "That's exactly where you're going, you witch." She took this opportunity to slash her chest to get her off of herself. She was never as scared us she was now, and what rose out the ground frightened her more. A tall standing Pokemon of six feet, with a black swallow tailed collar, under a mane of golden hair around its neck, a long blue, black and white flamed tail, a white face, green eyes, black white tipped hair, long red dragon-like wings, and black pin stripes all over its red body, was glaring down at her. In it's left hand, was a sword. She devolved because being frightened. She knew that she was going to be killed, but she wasn't going to go without leaving a bit of herself behind.

Ma'am Rocket: "You may beat me, but I'm not going to be defeated by the likes of you! Dark…!" She couldn't say anymore when Mei-Hasaki put his sword through her heart, point blank. Messenko devolved to Hi-Shashu and ran to him and kissed him, for a long time. Then he remembered something, he walked over to Musashi who was dead, for the time being, and put his hand over her heart, and she glowed a white light which died down, and her eyed opened up seeing him and Hi-Shashu standing over her.

Mei-Hasaki: "That takes a lot out of you…"

Hi-Shashu: "So what are you going to do now?"

Mei-Hasaki: "Probably go to some secluded place for a while."

Hi-Shashu: "You just saved the world from destruction don't you want stay to get congratulated?"

Mei-Hasaki: "Nah, I rather go off into outer space." His Pokemon woke up and floated in the air with him. "Catch you later girl!" And he flew off into space to do God knows what.

Hi-Shashu: "Til' we meet again…"

 

(Flashforward)

 

Hi-Sha: "That was a good story kid."

"Thanks, I wrote it myself."

Hi-Sha: "Satoshi you are such a big liar." She whacked him with mallet.
