And the sky is falling….
Timeline: 1 month later
Takuya – k!
SS2 Megami-sama – me too… I still can’t figure out why I don’t like Oak.
Pyr00jte – well, most people complain that chapters are too long, so I try to keep them short.
Sammi-san - Thank you for everything! *Bows* Glad you like the fic
Link Masters – didn’t Ash rob Gary earlier? I don’t think he shows up again though.
Dragi – thanks… remember, I run lots of fics @ the same time, so I update often, just not always the same fic
Aragorn the Ranger – really? Interesting
Clara200 – Ash is quite blinded by his own light, and he’s been with TR for quite a while already, so it’s not like he will leave of his own free will.
Gigglygal – Very well. Remember, I am inspired by reviews!
Chapter 7: Operation Kinesis
“Prepare for trouble!”
“And make
it double!”
“To protect the world from
devastation!”
“To unite all peoples within our nation!”
“To denounce the evils of truth and love!”
“To extend our reach to the stars above!”
“Charlotte!”
“Ash!”
“Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!”
“Surrender now or prepare to fight!”
“Chikorita!/Charizard!”
The group in Cerulean City’s city hall gasped.
“Team Rocket! Attack them!” One brave trainer shouted as he released his Geodude. Unfortunately, as it was a council meeting, there were only a few trainers, but they tried their best.
“Beedrill, Muk, go!”
“Wooper, go!”
“Pikachu, go!”
“Go, Charmander, Pidgey!”
Charizard took care of Beedrill just by breathing out a flame, while Chikorita whipped Wooper into submission. Then, the Pikachu and Muk together attacked Charlotte, one with Sludge Bomb and the other with Thunderbolt, while Charmander and Pidgey went for Ash with Gust and Flamethrower.
Charlotte teleported out of the way. Then, she hit Muk with psychic. Muk wilted under the assault. Pikachu tried to escape, but Charizard caught it with a dragon rage attack that sent it flying out of the building.
Ash released Mysdreavus. “Use Shadow Ball!” Mysdreavus nodded and Shadow ball gave Charmander dizzy eyes so it couldn’t fight. Ash also released Sneasal, whose Icy Wind froze Pidgey solid.
“Ariados, go!” Ash said. “Use Spider Web!”
The whole group was tied up…
An hour later, the Elite Four received the announcement that Cerulean was now under Team Rocket control.
Giovanni glanced up from his cup of coffee. “What is it?”
“Excuse me, sir, but there’s a message from Indigo Plateau.” His secretary said. “They say it’s urgent.”
Giovanni picked up his phone. “Hello? WHAT?!”
“That’s what I said!” Lorelei repeated. “Cerulean City has been taken over by Team Rocket!”
“So what can I do?”
“I don’t know.” Lorelei said. “Lance just told me to contact everyone.”
“I see.”
Lorelei hung up and called
Erika…
Giovanni smiled to himself. * So they succeeded quite easily. I’m glad. * He petted his Persian.
Persian purred.
Meanwhile, in Cerulean City…
“Let us out!” Misty said, pounding on the bars of the walled room. The interior was nicely furnished and very comfortable, but the doors were of steel and the windows were barred. Daisy and Lily were doing their makeup and Violet was sleeping. Misty scowled. Was she the only one concerned with their dire prediction?
Well, they hadn’t been gym leaders for years, but still!
The door opened and a boy walked in. Misty gasped. He was younger than she was! He was wearing a black team rocket uniform, but the ‘R’ was gold instead of red. Not that she cared.
“LET US OUT OF HERE!” She screeched.
“No.” The boy said simply.
“Why you little twerp!” Misty said.
“Twerp, am I?” The boy laughed. “That’s not a wise thing to say to your captor.”
Misty scowled and walked over, as she attempted to mallet him into the ground.
Only to discover he was no longer there…
“Useless. Your resistance is futile.” The boy said as he appeared behind her. “Oh well, I have more important things to do than talk to an ornery prisoner.”
He left.
Misty scowled and threw a mallet after him. It crashed into the door and broke into little pieces.
“Sir?”
Giovanni smiled at his agents. “Well done, you two.”
“Most of the population has been subdued, but a few escaped.” Charlotte said. “I believe Team White Magneton and Team Black Swinub are hunting them down.”
“Excellent.” Giovanni said. “Ash? How are the prisoners?”
“You mean the waterflowers?” Ash grimaced. “Three of them are zombies, and the last one is cursing vile enough to peel paint off the walls.”
“All right then, I’ll assign Team White Meowth to guard them.”
Ash grinned; Jessie and James couldn’t fail this easy assignment, as the doors wouldn’t open with the Rocket password.
“LET ME OUT!”
“Your turn, James.” Jessie said as she put down an ace of hearts. The two were playing a card game as they were bored.
“Pass,” James said.
“Heh.”
Meowth said. “I play da two of diamonds!”
“Okay, Meowth, you seize
control.”
“LET ME OUT!”
“That’s it!” Jessie said. “I’ve had enough of this!” She opened the door a crack. “Arbok, Poison Sting!”
“YIKES!”
From then on, it was silent. Jessie looked satisfied and the game resumed.
End Chapter 7… *DOOM*
