The Outcast
Part 6
General
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. 

From last where we left off, pretty much all of Johto and Kanto met at 
the city limits of Goldenrod, ready to fight off Team Rocket.

ACTION

The curtains were closed all around Giovanni's office, hiding all the 
light. Two guards stood at his doorway, ready to fight off any 
intruders. He had found out about the tracking device, and knew that 
Nancy was part of this. He was enraged, and had to switch headquarters. 
But, his plan was underway. His regular phone rang.

"What is it?"

"Sir." One of his scientists. "Plan Burial is underway. I have to warn 
you about the consequences of this though. Even though Team Rocket will 
be safe," There was a pause. Even the scientist knew not all of Team 
Rocket would be able to fit in the bomb shelter they'd be hiding in. 
"even though we'll be safe, the side effects can be dangerous. We would 
need all the magma underneath the Earth's surface to completely bury 
Earth of its inhabitants. However, magma is the structure our planet is 
floating on. If that's gone, Earth could collapse without magma to 
support it up. Then, the force would kill us right away since the Earth 
would crash right into its core. The collision would be so great, Earth 
would fall clear off it's orbit. Then we'd have no chance to survive."

Giovanni could care less whether he died or not. He knew Team Rocket's 
time was up, he was completely aware that Team Rocket could not hope to 
outlast the sudden increase in technology. He didn't want his 
organization to go down without a fight, a final show to signify Team 
Rocket was here.

Even if it meant nobody was left to admire it.

His great organization was at its peak with three million men ready to 
listen to his every great command. Now, he had only 15,000 left. Either 
they were caught or killed, or quit. His 15,000 would hold off the 
League's forces long enough for the scientist to create massive earthquakes in 
every volcano on Earth. The seismic activity would cause it to erupt. He also 
had long tubes, miles in length that dug into the surface, right to the 
magma. He would shoot that out. The whole process would take weeks, and 
nobody could stop it. Only about 400 men and 10,000 Pokemon ((for 
food)) would go with him to a mega base waiting it out. It would 
survive all the magma that would bury it. Then, they'd bulldoze out and 
watch the remainders of the Earth. Afterwards, they'd breed rapidly and the 
whole world would be only Team Rocket. Only evil. That is, until the 
Earth collapsed on itself. Then Earth would be destroyed. He only did this to 
exercise his power. HE had the power to collapse the world. HIM and ONLY him.

His thoughts were interrupted rudely, when one of his grunts sent him a message 
on his pager. It was a code 66. The League posed as a threat. He'd have to use 
the last of his grunts and even some of his elites to throw themselves in a 
suicide battle, buying him enough time to follow through with his plan.

He phoned his scientist. 

"Follow through. There's no turning back now."

"Sir!"

"DO AS I SAY!!" his voice was so dark, so cold, so emotionless yet there was 
such anger. The scientist closed the line, and he began the systematic sequence 
of events that'd soon destroy the world.

****

The 500 or so trainers ((they were a lot less than the League expected. After 
the trainers found out about the danger, most turned back)) hiked down a path.

"Team Rocket will easily blow our forces away, we're nothing." Nancy said to 
herself darkly. Isaac overheard that last comment.

"Nancy, we'll be fine. It's not always quantity; it could be quality as well." 
Isaac advised.

"Sometimes, it's so unbalanced, quantity would knock quality off." Nancy's words 
made Isaac think for a while.

"Then why are we following through with this?" He asked.

"Because if we don't, our slim chance of rescuing the Earth would be stomped and 
spit upon. I want to die knowing I did something." Nancy said.

"Me too." Isaac and Mike said in unison. "Let's do this!"

Nancy was the squad leader of Isaac and Mike. Then, when the battle started, the 
squad would break down and Isaac, Mike and Nancy would be the squad leaders of 
their Pokemon. When the Pokemon were released, there would be almost quadruple 
the amount of battlers in the fighting lines.

After several more hours of walking, Mike started to complain. Isaac never liked 
complainers, and considering his life was on the line, his mood wasn't the 
cheeriest.

"Dang...are we going to Pallet Town to fight Giovanni or something? This is 
getting really long and irritating. I think we'll all collapse before we can 
even battle." Mike gave a sigh. Isaac got fed up really quickly. He punched Mike 
on the arm. Mike got the hint, and he shut up.

"Rockets approaching! 1000 strong at least! Prepare for battle! Break down 
squads!" One man at the head of the herd of the awkward humans shouted out 
commands. Quickly, every trainer from every city released his or her Pokemon. 
The noise of Pokemon materializing and their cries were deafening. Isaac barely 
heard his Fearow, Pineco and Seviper come out.

"Charge! Fight at will! To Victory!!" The same man shouted above all the noise, 
with help of a megaphone.

"Good luck! Meet you at the end of this!" Nancy said. 

"Later Mike! Take out some Rockets!"

"See ya Isaac, hope you live through his one!" 

The Headquarters loomed ahead, just a mere office building. Yet it held so much 
power. It seemed to be in no city, just sandwiched between wherever two cities 
they were in. Isaac had been walking so long, he had no idea where he was.

A Rocket and his squad of three Pokemon approached him.

"A good warm-up, and then on to the real deals here," Isaac thought to himself.

"Electrode! Magmar! Flareon!" The Rocket called out.

"Fang! Take the Electrode! Fearow! The Magmar! Pineco! The Flareon!" Fang 
wrapped and injected its deadly poison into the pokeball-like Pokemon and Fearow 
pecked furiously at the Magmar. Pineco used Take Down on Flareon and exploded. 

"Good! Moving on!" Isaac was supposed to finish the Rocket and kill him, but he 
just couldn't. He'd let the other League members do that.

One man charged towards Isaac, one heck of a large guy with bulging muscles. He 
had six Tauros with him. Seeing the danger, he recalled Pineco and Seviper and 
hopped on Fearow and took off to the air. Isaac saw the grim details of the 
battle. The Rockets vastly outnumbered the League, and the League was getting 
its butt kicked. They were constantly losing battles, and the Nurse Joys that 
were stationed just behind the lines could barely keep up. The Rockets had 
chosen to fight on a vast field; there was not a single tree for miles.

Isaac saw Falkner fighting another Rocket. Both were on their Pidgeots. Falkner 
called out his Fearow and the Rocket called out his Farfetch'd. He saw the 
Falkner's Fearow was getting creamed. He couldn't stand to watch.

"Fearow, use Wing Attack on the Rocket! Go!" His eagle-like Pokemon shot through 
the air, towards the Rocket and his Pidgeot. Isaac gripped the bases of Fearow's 
large wings to balance him. He was at least two thousand feet in the air.

Just yards from his target, another Rocket appeared, barely holding on to a 
Beedrill. 

"Beedrill! Poison Sting!" Beedrill's huge stingers charged towards Isaac.

"Fearow! Classic shoot up, loop attack from behind trick I taught ya. Go for 
it!" Just at the last minute, before colliding into Beedrill, Isaac's Fearow 
shot straight up, looped in a backwards arch and struck the confused Rocket. He 
fell off the Beedrill.

"That'll be a painful landing," Isaac thought to himself. Silently, he prayed 
for the lost soul. The Beedrill tried it's best to rescue his master, but it was 
cut off by a Pidgeotto from another trainer. Isaac was now so far up; he didn't 
even see where the Rocket landed.

It was then Isaac realized how many people were up in the air, dotting the clear 
sky.

"Fearow! Swoop down, attack the guts gig!" Isaac said. "Get that Pidgeot! 
Falkner needs our help!" Fearow shot down like a falling rock, then swooped 
right back up to strike the Rocket's Pidgeot. The Pidgeot was thrown off, almost 
throwing the Rocket off. Almost. He caught himself, and the Pidgeot steadied.

"Isaac?" Falkner said. 

"Nice memory you got on ya. Fearow! Peck the Pidgeot! Now! Falkner, let your 
Pidgeot take a breather, or call out another Pokemon. I think this guy's a 
elite."

"That's right," The Rocket said. "Any last words?" 

"The last words you'll ever hear! Fearow! Peck!" Fearow charged at incredible 
speeds, almost throwing Isaac right off. Fearow slammed its hard, sharp beak 
into Pidgeot's left wing. The Pidgeot flew in circles, and lost altitude. Fearow 
took this opportunity to dive down, dropping the Pidgeot even more. Fearow kept 
doing this before Pidgeot completely lost control and dropped the Rocket. Fearow 
hit Pidgeot's side before it could rescue its master. 

"Skarmory! Go! Take out that Pidgeot!" Some other trainer relieved him of his 
position, and he was glad. 

"Fearow, swoop down to ground level." It was like a roller coaster, only it was 
more real. Soon, Fearow was scattering confused Rockets all over the place, and 
dodging all the hits that were fired onto it. Isaac worked his way, with Fearow 
inches off the ground, towards the League's lines. 

When he was finally safe behind the ranks of his fellow trainers, Isaac took a 
breather. He looked up, and saw Falkner fighting another Rocket. Isaac also 
noticed his Fearow was very tired from the three consecutive battles.

"Fearow, take a breather. Fang! Pineco!" He released his two other Pokemon, 
eager for battle. "Come on, back to battle!" He ran passed the line, and fought 
a Rocket there with a Raticate and Arbok. His Pokemon crushed the Rocket's. This 
was getting easier for Isaac, but he noticed otherwise. Rockets all over were 
finishing off Pokemon of their adversaries. He saw Nancy, with Tauros and 
Charmeleon out and Graveller looking exhausted. He also noticed a Machoke and 
Primeape were both ganging up on it. Nancy looked terrified. 

"Fang! Pineco! Help Nancy out!" Isaac said. He ran over to Nancy's side, and 
Seviper wrapped both Machoke and Primeape. The Rocket looked stunned at Isaac's 
unique Houenn Pokemon, but still tried his best to get Machoke and Primeape out 
of their predicament. It was too late; Machoke and Primeape were long knocked 
out. 

Nancy's Graveller hurled itself on the Rocket, making a sickening, crunching 
sound as rock met bone. Isaac turned away. It was then he realized how real war 
was. He noticed the cried and screams of Pokemon everywhere, dying without any 
hope. He even heard trainers in agony, breathing their last breath, not even 
being able to see their families again one last time.

Isaac began to sob huge globs of tears, and his Pokemon tried to comfort him. He 
managed to stop himself when he noticed how sad his Pokemon felt, and noticed 
Mike in a tight spot. Only his Parasect was left, and Muk, Weezing and Arbok 
ganged it up. 

"Fang! Poison Tail!" The Rocket didn't see it coming. Before he knew it, Weezing 
was out, filled with poison and taken over by shock. "Poison Tail again!" Muk 
was out. "Try this one! Poison Fang!" This time, Seviper bit down on Arbok, 
injecting great amounts of poison. All three Pokemon were gone, and a League 
Official killed the Rocket the same way Nancy did, with a Graveller.

"God no...No...Oh my God, someone just died in front of me." Mike was starting 
to feel the shock of war.

"Don't brood," The League Official said. "It's sad and hard to go through, but 
there's battling to be done. If we leave them be, they'll be doing this to your 
family! Go out there and stop them!"

That motivated Isaac and Mike enough to rejoin the lines, which miraculously 
seemed to be advancing. The Rockets just weren't experienced enough to take out 
all the trainers. Isaac was right, quality over quantity.

All the good signs of this battle were crushed, when a flood of Rockets came 
from three directions. Reinforcements. The little they were battling was only 
the tip of the iceberg. There was no way they'd win this. When the Rockets 
released their Pokemon, it was obvious the League was totally outnumbered.

He saw Nancy again, right after she killed yet another Rocket.

"Nancy! Look!" He shouted over to her, pointing towards the fat, bulging lines 
of Rockets. "We'll need reinforcements of our own, or we'll never win this! 

Nancy smiled. "Here comes the cavalry." She pointed behind the direction Isaac 
was facing. Isaac saw a huge battalion of Ponytas and Rapidashes mounted by 
League Officials. 

"That's what I call a lifesaver, I'm guessing we were saving them for last?" 
Isaac asked, watching in awe at the countless Ponytas. 

His thoughts were broken, when he heard a low rumbling from his feet. The Earth 
was shaking!

"Earthquake! Watch out!" Isaac glanced to his left, and saw a mountain far off, 
several miles away, was near eruption. Smoke was coming out, and magma started 
to leak.

"Whoa! Team Rocket's plan is going through! We've got to stop them! Aerial 
Strike!" Nancy said. League Officials repeated this to everyone, and people 
called out their bird Pokemon.

"The Ponyta will fight off Team Rocket for now, but everyone with a bird Pokemon 
needs to fly up and go for their HQ!" Nancy cried out.

"You don't have a flying Pokemon though," Isaac commented.

"Isaac's right, how are you gonna come with us?" Mike asked. Isaac could tell he 
was disappointed. Isaac really wanted Nancy to come, since her Pokemon were way 
better than Mike's and his combined. 

"Watch, I have a Dragonair I use for emergency purposes." Nancy pulled out a 
necklace Isaac and Mike saw for the first time. At the end of it, there was a 
minimized pokeball.

"Dragonair! Go!" A Dragonair popped out. "This was my starter, it took my 
parents years to get one. Mike, you don't have a flying type, hop on!" 

It was then Mike noticed he didn't have a bird Pokemon. He gladly jumped on 
Dragonair's snake-like body. Isaac called out his Fearow.

"Be careful, Team Rocket will use bird Pokemon of their own. Now go for it!" 
Nancy gave out a war cry, and Isaac followed suit. They took off to the air, 
along with several other trainers, with the Ponyta battalion covering them. 

The aerial assault was going smoothly, several dozen people flew around and 
released other flying Pokemon and charged towards Team Rocket HQ. Isaac thought 
this would go smoothly. They'd land, break in and force Giovanni to stop the 
eruptions. 

Eruptions. Isaac remembered the near erupting volcano and looked over and saw 
that the volcano had already erupted, spilling out hundreds of gallons of magma. 
He also saw a humongous tube at the base of the mountain, pumping out magma as 
well. Giovanni really wanted the magma out.

"Come on Fearow! Faster!" Since Fearow had time to rest, it was going pretty 
strong. It advanced in the lines. Several trainers had hopped behind a Bird 
Catcher's Pidgeot or Fearow, and released their weaker bird types like Pidgey 
and Farfetch'd. 

Suddenly, Rockets darted around with Pokemon of their own. Several trainers were 
held back as the Rockets appeared to be flinging their Pokemon against the 
trainer's. Almost like kamikazes. Isaac understood their real purpose; to hold 
off the League long enough so the plan could follow through.

"Fearow, you HAVE to outmaneuver those Rockets, or else we'll be caught back. I 
don't want the strike force at HQ to not have me there!" Fearow easily dodged 
through the generous Rocket lines. Shoot up, dodge left, scoot down, zip down; 
the maneuvering was easy. Nancy's Dragonair seemed to be doing well too; along 
with Falkner and some other trainers Isaac never met. One trainer stuck out for 
some reason.

"Come on! Charizard! Flamethrower! WAAUGGH!! That's a nasty looking Fearow. Ok! 
Go for it! If you fail, back to the PC you go!" This trainer was harsh. Isaac 
decided to help it out. The trainer had brown curly hair reaching down to his 
ears and looked about Isaac's age. 

"Let's help this kid out! Fearow! Knock the Rocket off!" Fearow threw itself on 
the Rocket, who lost his balance. His Fearow tried rescuing him successfully but 
gave the curly haired trainer enough time to move on.

"Nice meeting you, what's your name?" the mysterious trainer asked.

"Mine's Isaac, and you?"

"Greg." The word hit him like a mallet. 'No, it couldn't be Greg. Not the one 
that abandoned Seviper. Even though he seemed a little harsher than most 
trainers. It was just a little bit. No way.'

"You're not...Greg Bonnie by any chance are you?"

"In fact, I am. Why? Have we met?" 

Isaac was mad. How could someone abandon such a great Pokemon like Seviper? The 
NERVE! Isaac let loose on the words.

"YOU SON OF A B****! HOW COULD YOU ABANDON YOUR F****** SEVIPER! YOU BAS****!"

"Whoa, dude, calm down. You've seen the Seviper before?" 

Before Isaac could answer, another Rocket appeared just feet away from crashing. 
Both dodged just on time. 

"Talk to you later, take out the anger on the Rockets!" Greg flew off. Isaac 
lost a lot of space between Nancy and Mike. He'd have to go double time if he 
hoped to catch up. "Fearow! Agility! Boost your speed, and catch up to Nancy, I 
can see them up ahead battling a Rocket!" Within a few minutes, Fearow flew up 
to Nancy's side. Nancy just finished the Rocket.

"We're the only ones that made it." Nancy said. "Everyone else fell, or is still 
battling the Rockets."  Isaac saw Nancy, a guy on a Skarmory, someone on a 
Pidgeot, Falkner and Greg. He hated Greg's guts, but he had a planet to save.

"Let's do this. Koga and Jasmine snuck past the lines, and they're waiting for 
us behind that hill," Nancy paused to point at a steep hill just beside the HQ, 
"And we'll be the strike force. The idea is to bust our way through to the top, 
most likely where Giovanni is, and then once we're there we'll force him to 
stop. If he disagrees, we kill him and take the scientists. They'll most likely 
cooperate." 

"Got it," Everyone said, and they took off for the hills. Isaac took this time 
to find the names of the Skarmory trainer. His name was Gordon. He had his hair 
gelled up, and wore a green T-shirt and jeans. The trainer of the Pidgeot was a 
little older than Isaac, and really buff. His name was Will.

When they landed, Koga and Jasmine were there. Isaac let Fearow rest after the 
hard flying it had to do.

"Sir, my squad is fine. One is taking a rest, two ready to battle," Isaac 
reported in to Jasmine. Jasmine was covered head to toe in ninja outfits like 
Koga, and he only saw her green eyes. She nodded in approval. 

"Don't call out your Pokemon until you have to," Koga said, "We're gonna sneak 
the best we can before we have to battle. We'll go right through the front 
door."

The nine trainers that had made past the Rocket lines crept on the tall weeds 
that provided cover. 

"Good luck,"
