Rocket Girl
Now I'm bored because I can't think up IPGS questions! :P Oh well, on with the fic

The door to the electric Pokemon pen creaked open. A pair of bright red eyes flashed in the darkness.
"Shh, Zapdos, it's only me," Amber whispered as she moved through the room, static electricity creeping up through her clothes.
The Zapdos stared at her curiously, wondering what she was doing up and in here. It flapped open its wings and cooed, only to be shushed by Amber once more.
"Don't wake the…" Amber began, but a stirring in the corner of the room, a soft patch of grass, silenced her. The large yellow ears of Ash's Pikachu pricked up.
"Pikachu!" Amber exclaimed. Magneton flickered awake at the sound of their master's voice, and floating happily towards her. Pikachu, though surprised, pranced gaily over to Amber.
"Just came in here to see how Pikachu was doing!" Amber chirped, trying to sound innocent, "How is our little guest?"
"PIKA!" Came the cheerful reply.
"Great! Well, Ash was calling for you in his sleep, though I might bring you up! Would you like that?"
"Pikachu!" Pikachu jumped into Amber's arms excitedly. Amber felt a pang of guilt at the misplaced trust, but stroked his ears softly. Soon, the cute little eyes fluttered close.
"That's a good Pikachu," She murmured, stepping out of the room. "Go to sleep now. Ash will be so happy when he sees you."
She was only halfway down the hall when she bumped into something.

The ruins of the mansion lay around him. How dare they? How dare they!
He shuffled through the remains, hearing only two sound- two different muffled cries.
The first one, the loudest, came from a pile of debris that was shaking slightly. As he made for it, calling out to it, it suddenly exploded, and there stood the newest Pokemon. Renga-the Miracle Pokemon.
He came up with the nickname instantly, as it was a miracle it had lived. Picking it up and clutching it to his chest, he searched for the other source.
As he pulled away a large piece of marble, it uncovered two things, one that made his heart break with sadness, and one that made his heart break with joy.
Lying there, was his love, Amber Dulave. Dead. Hold tightly in her arms were the baby. Alive. Crying her eyes out.
Giovanni picked up his daughter, holding her tightly against his chest, next to Renga. Crawling down on his knees to reach his love, he broke down crying.

"Watch it Twerpess!" Jessie scowled, pushing Amber out of her way.
"Jessie!" Amber said in a hushed hiss, "What are you doing out here?"
"Trying to catch ourselves a Pikachu, Little Miss Brat!" Jessie snapped.
"Well, I already DID!" Amber snapped back, hissing under her breath words that should not have been said.
"Hand it over!" James said, loudly, holding out his hands.
"Quiet! You'll wake Ash and them!" Amber whispered, putting her hand over James' mouth.
"Worse yet," Meowth put in, "You'll wake Pikachu."
As if on cue the Pokemon's ears pricked up. Everyone held in their breath as he stirred and moved around in his sleep, due to wake up in a second. But he sighed, and cuddled further into Amber's arms.
They all sighed and drew out their breaths. "Close one," James remarked.
"Yeah, and let's leave before he really does wake up and we become fried!" Amber snapped, stroking Pikachu's fur.
Jessie growled, but followed Amber out of the mansion, "We'd better get credit for at least PART of this mission…"
Amber pushed her face into the sleeping Pokemon's fur, feeling that pang of guilt again. "Don't worry, you will."

The funeral.
No one is there, but Giovanni, his Persian, the Rattata, Renga and the daughter.
Standing in the rain, Giovanni's sobs are silent, but heavy. The daughter starts to cry, clinging to her father's arm, afraid and unknowing. The Persian and Rattata hang there heads, each a tear slipping from their Pokemon eyes.
Renga looks up, confused. What is happening? Why is everyone said?
He glances up towards the rain clouds. Is it because of the rain? Well, certainly something could fix that.
The four watched in amazement, even the young girl, who could not possibly understand what was happening, as the young baby Renga performed a Sunny Day, an attack that neither Persian nor Rattata knew.
Renga- the Miracle Pokemon

A door slam echoed loudly through the mansion and Ash sat up in bed.
"Wha…" He murmured, looking around his surroundings.
Filling his ears were the sounds of Pokemon, angry, frightened, afraid.
Misty turned over to face Ash from the next bed, "What's wrong?"
Brock got up, "Maybe Team Rocket is raiding Amber's Pokemon Rooms!"
Ash jumped up, putting on his hat, "Pikachu! My other Pokemon!"
Misty scolded herself for leaving Togepi in the Normal Pokemon room, "My baby!"
The three raced to the door, shouting out for Amber, but getting no reply.
"Maybe she went down to stop them!" Brock exclaimed. The other two nodded in agreement, the thought that Amber could have stolen their Pokemon never crossed their mind.
The three rushed down the steps into the rooms, only to find that Team Rocket was no where in sight, and that their motto could not be heard.
"Uh! Why won't they be quiet!" Misty whined, but then she thought of Togepi and tore open the door of the Normal room. Togepi sat there crying.
Ash and Brock came back in, Ash's face set.
"All the Pokemon are crying and upset! And the only Pokemon missing is Pikachu!" Brock told Misty.
She nodded and shook Togepi, "Oh, what's the matter! Who did this?"
"It's obviously Team Rocket," Ash said, holding back tears. Why didn't they catch them this time?
Suddenly a Jynx fluttered into the hall. Her long strands of hair touched their foreheads and her voice filled the room.
"Yes, Team Rocket, but not the ones you mean."
"What, Butch and Cassidy?" Ash asked, confused.
"No…no…the newest member…" The Jynx's thoughts and feelings became sad, it was obvious.
"Who!" The humans exclaimed.
"Master Amber…"
