The end of Misty part 6

Introduction: Part 6 of my ongoing fanfic. Misty goes to TR. headquarters. (Evil laugh) What will Ash do now? Oh yeah. And the shield and mirror Ash used in part 5 are magical. In case you couldn't figure that out. As I said earlier, () is pokémon speech, ** is thoughts, and " " is human speech.

Misty swallowed as Brock led her down the hallway to meet the head of Team Rocket. Maybe she shouldn't have acted on impulse, but she was determined to get Christy out of the picture once and for all. After what seemed like a very long time, Misty and Brock arrived in front of a set of double doors guarded by six rockets. Misty gulped and walked into the room followed by Brock.
The first thing Misty saw was bright, very bright light. Then the light cleared and Misty saw Giovanni standing in the center of a group of people. On the right were Lt. Surge and Koga, and Sabrina and Blaine were on the left. Misty nearly fainted. 6 gym leaders, including Brock, were already part of Team Rocket. If she joined that would make 7 gym leaders, leaving Erika as the only true gym leader.
"Surprised, aren't you?" asked Sabrina. Misty nodded silently. "So do you want to join or not?" asked Giovanni. "I don't have all day, you know." "Yes." Said Misty. *I can't let Christy get Brock! * "All right, sign this contract here." Said Giovanni as he pushed a piece of paper towards her.
Skimming through the contract, Misty read "I swear by all that I hold sacred I will not betray Team Rocket to anyone and to exterminate anyone I know who betrays Team Rocket. That's simple enough." Misty picked up her pen and signed the line. Then, she was led to the fitting room to get her uniform.
"You look great!" said Brock enthusiastically. Misty blushed and looked down. She was wearing an aqua blue top and miniskirt with a silver "R" on the top. She also had silver elbow gloves and boots. To complete the transformation her hair had been dyed blond with dark blue streaks along the bangs. Her ponytail was gone and she looked less childish than usual. Brock had assured her that all the gym leaders had uniforms like this, in their own standard colors. Blaine was an exception, since he was a scientist.
"Your first assignment is to capture Articuno." Said Giovanni to Misty and Brock. "Blaine and Sabrina will accompany you. Since Misty has a way with water pokémon, she will be a big help. I trust you can get along." Misty nodded. In her heart she was thinking *how can we capture Articuno? It's a legendary pokémon and very powerful. Last time I ran into it…* Misty shuddered as she recalled the sight of the three titans fighting each other.

Ash's point of view…

"So Team Rocket is trying to capture Articuno? They'll never get this far. They'll be dead before they reach Ice Island." Said Ash confidently. He was spying on Team Rocket through his magic mirror. It had miraculously been cleared of cracks and scratches. Recalling how hard he had thrown it against the wall last time, Ash grinned. It was good having stuff that could heal itself.

"Oh well. I better prepare the defenses." Said Ash. He reached and pulled 6 poké balls off his belt. "Squirtle, Lapras, Poliwrath. You three are guarding the sea around Ice Island. If you see the rockets attack their ship or the water pokémon they're using. "Pidgeot, Fearow, Charizard. You three are guarding Ice Island from the air. If Team Rocket brings a helicopter or flying pokémon, attack them. The six pokémon nodded and headed off.
Ash reached for another few poké balls. "Ditto, you're turning into Articuno and being a decoy. Spirita, you're staying with Articuno. If anyone other than me appears send me a telepathic message. Bulbasaur, Sandshrew, Haunter, and Tauros are guarding the beach. Everyone got that?" All of the said pokémon nodded and headed towards their respective posts.
Ash laughed silently. *Team Rocket will never get their hands on the titan of Ice, not if I can help it. *

Blaine and Sabrina headed to Ice Island in a helicopter while Misty and Brock rode in the Team Rocket submarine. When they were about a mile away from Ice Island, the submarine suddenly started rocking crazily. "What's happening?" cried Misty and the sub flipped over and over. "It's a Lapras, a Squirtle, and a Poliwrath!" yelled Brock. "They're head-butting our submarine and using ice beam!" "What the-!" yelled Misty, "If they want a fight they're going to get one! Starmie, Staryu, Goldeen, Horsea, go!" The four water pokémon swam through the shattered glass of a porthole and a furious fight started.
"The sub's sinking!" yelled Brock frantically. "What are we going to do?" "Leave it to Me. " said Misty with a smile. "Dewgong, go!" Misty and Brock clung on to Dewgong's back as it swam up towards the surface. When they arrived, a pitiful sight met their eyes. Staryu, Goldeen, and Horsea had all fainted, while Starmie was being chased by a pikachu riding on the back of a squirtle. "Oh no! Starmie, Bubblebeam them!" said Misty. But before Starmie could attack, it had already been hit by a combination of blizzard and thundershock, so it was out of action.
Meanwhile…

Blaine and Sabrina were driving the helicopter. They didn't know that misty and brock were in trouble yet, because they had been underwater so they couldn't have seen anything. Sabrina was looking out the window when she spotted a Fearow, a Charizard, and a Pidgeot heading for their plane. She nudged Blaine, who ignored the pokémon and was making preparations to land.
Wham! A Fire Blast hit the helicopter as the metal fizzled and sparked. "We've got to get out of here!" said Blaine. "Or else the helicopter will crash and we'll be dropped into the ocean!" "Kadabra, go." Said Sabrina in her emotionless voice. As Blaine and Sabrina grabbed hold of Kadabra, it teleported them to the shore of ice island.
"Haunter!" "Bulb!" "Sand!" The four pokémon guarding the beach immediately went into action. Bulbasaur launched its solarbeam attack at Kadabra while Sandshrew readied its fissure and Haunter hypnotized Blaine. Then, Sabrina was hit by a rampaging Tauros and tossed into the air.

Ash watched all of this from his cave. He laughed quietly. Team Rocket was so foolish, thinking they could just waltz in and nab Articuno. Articuno, who was sitting next to Ash, laughed also. Just then, Misty and Brock finally made it to shore. They were immediately hit by fissure and tossed into the sea again. "We're going to drown!" yelled Brock. "Dewgong is tired out and all your other pokémon have fainted." "Just swim!" cried misty as she started heading towards the shore. Brock sighed and followed her.
Sabrina narrowed her eyes as she landed on the ground again. True, she had been careless, not expecting pokémon to be guarding the island, but no matter. She could take them. Kadabra hit bulbasaur with a psychic, wounding it, so Ash recalled bulbasaur. Haunter immediately attacked Kadabra with Nightshade, knocking it over. Sabrina took out the Tauros by slamming it into the mountain with her telekinesis. Then, she told Kadabra to do recover.
Ash recalled Tauros as well, putting his two poké balls in the regeneration machine he had and throwing out another pokémon. "Eevee, go! Hydro Flare!" Eevee nodded its head and shot a mix of fire and water at the Kadabra. Sabrina whirled around and saw eevee. She recognized it. This was the experimental pokémon that had escaped from the Team Rocket labs. It had the power of Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon combined. Well, she would capture it and take it back to Headquarters.
Sabrina was suddenly hit with Earthquake and launched into the air again. She looked down and saw a sandshrew. It bent its head and threw stars at her. Sabrina held up Reflect and protected herself. Unfortunately, while she had been occupied, Haunter had knocked out Kadabra with Dream Eater. Sabrina cursed and teleported herself and Blaine back to headquarters.

Hehehe. A cliffhanger. Will misty and her escort make it to ice island? Read the next part to find out!
Info: Ash's other pokémon come from Pokémon Adventure series.
Hydro Flare: A mixture of fire and water, very powerful.
