The Tale of Seven

[Rikugurl]

"H-HEY! NO WAY! YOU'RE NOT DRESSING ME UP AGAIN!" Ven cried as he was pulled behind a large rock. He thought his torture was done the minute he threw down that rocket shirt!
He should of know better...


Axel sighed as he looked at the plan over. He really didn't want to leave Roxas's side... but he didn't want to feel like he was too attached either. GOD...this....relationship thing was hard sometimes...and they weren't even in one officially! He nodded at Sora's call though. Using their fire pokemon could be of much help and now with his aunt's Blaziken, they would have a lot of strength on their side as well.

Riku only nodded as Sora suggested his part of the plan. He was guessing that he would be the one to herd the released Pokemon together and keep them calm. He thought that maybe using Seviper, he could herd them better but...he had to remember that most Pokemon were scared of the large snake.

His thoughts were interrupted as he saw the two walking their way as well. Oh good god....

The shorter figure had a small limp in their walk was they came up, a large frown on its face.
Bouncy blond locks curved around her slightly chubby face as her cute make-up made her as cute as a button.

Venita strikes back!

"Wow....no wonder you're the one limping." Axel couldn't hold back a chuckle, unable to see the sudden dark blue eyes of the Skitty cosplayer. "HEY! I TOOK IT LIKE A MAN!" 'She' cried as she backhanded the redhead hard.
"Ouch!" Axel whimpered as he pouted, a large lump growing on the back of his head.

Where did they get the clothes...? Riku sighed softly as a sweat drop ran down his face.

[Reno]

Terra just chuckled at the antics of his 'girl'friend, shaking his head. All these damn dresses were giving him some very... bad ideas. Mmm... maybe they'd have to make use of them...

Roxas laughed some next to Axel, "Oh come on Ven you look very pretty! Ow!" He pouted as he was smacked too.

Sora grinned some, shaking his head. How did that help them exactly? "Ooookay..."

"Alright, let's get this started!" Aqua chirped happily, digging through her things and finding the communicators. They were going to need them. The seven started to place them into their ears. "Everyone ready?"

[Rikugurl]

Ven growled after he hit his brother but sighed as he grabbed his communicator, picking up his skitty hat before carefully placing it on his ear. "Alright... let's go. Remember, we only have one chance to do this so don't fuck up...and if you run into someone that only has one Pokemon and no poke balls on their belt....run like hell."

He walked over to Terra, the little skitty tall swishing as he walk, and wrapped his arms around the strong waist. He stood on his tippy toes and planted a soft kiss on the other's lips before winking. "Love you~"

Everyone got ready and Flygon was called, making Axel frown a bit. He slowly walked over to Roxas, wrapping his arms around him. "Be careful...ok?"

Riku sighed as well as he saw Ven and Aqua walk right up to a building and knocked on the door.

[Reno]

Everyone nodded to Ven's warning, knowing what would happen if they ran into one of those lowly grunts. Say goodbye to their Pokemon... no doubt that would be more of a problem for Sora and Axel - who would be on the lower levels with the lower ranking TR members... while Terra and Roxas would have to deal with harsher battles.

"And wait for our signals. Don't leave from your positions until we say it's safe." Aqua ordered. Again everyone just nodded in agreement.

Terra smiled when Ven came up to him, wrapping his own arms around the blonde and kissing back. "Love you too~" He said softly, feeling at a loss as the other pulled away. Don't die damn it...

He reached down onto his belt, taking off a familiar Pokeball and throwing it into the air. There was a pop as it opened and the large insect dragon appeared, stretching his wings. "Fly!"

Roxas looked at the dragon, swallowing hard. He could do this... he could do this! He glanced towards his side when he heard someone approaching and smiled nervously at Axel... only to be surprised as he was hugged. "Axel..." He murmured softly... and smiled, hugging back. "You too."
"So if there's something you need to say, to share, to talk about it's time to get it off of your chest. You might not have another chance to." Aqua's words ran through his head and he swallowed, looking up at the red-head, but no words would come to his throat. What... did he even want to say? He smiled nervously. "I-I'll... see you soon?"

Sora pat Ven on the shoulder reassuring as he passed, giving his younger brother a smile. The blonde merely smiled back before he and Aqua started to walk away. Sora reached for Arcanine's Pokeball and let it fly. The tiger dog shook out her fur, and her tongue lolled out. Sora pet her muzzle. "Ready Arcy?"
"Ar!" the dog barked before licking him, her large tongue slobbering all over him. The brunette laughed, wiping down his face. He turned though, spotting Riku watching his brother and partner going to the door.

Seriously, knocking on the front door? That just seemed so obvious! The brunette walked over, coming up beside Riku slowly. "Hey..." He said softly, catching the other's attention. He smiled at the silverette before reaching up and hugging him tightly. "I want to travel with you." He said unexpectedly.

Aqua sighed as they walked right up to the front door like they owned the place. Both of them pounded their fists into the steel door, the sound ringing throughout the first floor. They waited for about half a minute... before the door started to screech as it was opened and a half awake black-and-white haired man poked his head out the door. He was missing an eye so he had an eye patch. He didn't look too happy about being woken up but the minute his eyes landed on Aqua and Venita, his eye practically popped out of it's socket.

"Hey big boy~" Aqua said in a sultry voice, smiling widely. "We're selling cookies. Want any?"

[Rikugurl]

Axel watched the two as well, wondering why the hell they were just WALKING up to a building like that. He sighed though, figuring that they would know what they were doing. They use to be excellent cons and they still were. He blinked though when he felt some shifting close by, slowly looking towards Sora and Riku, seeing the brunette's arms around the taller.

The silverette almost fell over, not ready for the sudden hug. He indeed got use to them but at a time like this, never expected one. He looked back, the lower part of his face was able to bee seen as his silver hair poked around it. His lips were parted, as if he was struck by the sudden statement. "Sora...."

The half a minute was just enough time to release Haunter and having heard the conversation, he knew exactly what to do.
When the door was opened, he disappeared and quickly floated pass the man without being detected at all.

There was a reason why they went to this building. It had all the lock functions in the tower.

"Skitty! Skitty!" The blonde girl cried happily after the bluette stated their purpose there.
"Cookies?" The man rose an eyebrow but a grin appeared over his marked up features. He leaned on the frame, his sharp eye seeming to be more interested in something else than cookies.
"Sure you're not selling anything else?"

The ghost reappeared way back in the room, his narrow eyes looking at all the colorful buttons.
...........HE WANTED TO PRESS THEM ALL! His claws reached out but he stopped himself. His master didn't want a distraction away from THEM this time unlike the night at the stadium. His one claw reached out and flipped up a switch that said UNLOCK. When the light turned green, he rose his thumb up high so the two in front of the man could see before disappearing once more.


All the metal doors unlocked in the tower but went unnoticed for now, many members still sleeping. However...

"Yo..." Green eyes caught something in the corner and looked over, seeing that the metal bar was no longer keeping the door locked. His realization spread as the man he was sitting with looked over, his eyes narrowing behind his sunglasses.

[Reno]

Roxas glanced over as well, his eyes widening some as well. What in the world...?

Terra rolled his eyes at the little display of the two, shaking his head. Well, he totally saw that one coming. Though Riku probably didn't notice it was totally obvious how much the brunette liked the hooded silverette, especially with how much Sora HUGGED the other teen. Can anyone say 'Duh?'

Sora gasped, pulling away some, his cheeks red. "I'm sorry... this isn't the right time. But Ri, I really like you... really really! I'd-I'd love it... after we get outta here and help all the Pokemon and have to go our separate ways... if we could travel together."

Arcanine tilted her head but smiled, her tail swishing some behind her. That was her pup!


Damn it was hard to smile when you didn't mean it. But years of playing actress had taught her a lot and she knew exactly what to do.

From the corner of her eyes she saw the thumb just as the one-eyed man was asking his question. She giggled shyly, turning her head away and placing her hand on her face as if to hide a blush. Her eyes caught Ven's and they said nothing but he understood. It was time to give the signals.

She faced back to the duel-haired man, walking up to him, hips swinging and her blue skirt swishing tantalizingly. "Well, I think that can be arranged. But you won"t tell anyone, right?" She said in a sultry voice, running her index finger under his chin then tapped his nose, winking. "It'll be our. Little. Secret."


In the room, a blonde was softly humming as she played a game of memory by herself, looking utterly bored. Her three companions were being so quiet! How did they stand the silence?! She picked up a colorful card with a Zubat on it, then picked up another, frowning when it was a Sandshrew. How unhelpful. She placed them both down but looked up as she heard the red-haired man and glanced over. "What?"

The bald man close by only looked up and narrowed his eyes, though it went unseen behind the dark shades. "Mmm..."

[Rikugurl]

Riku blinked as he heard the brunette, not noticing the redhead behind them smiling at the scene. The silverette stayed silence for a moment before looking away, back at the base. "No. I'd rather go alone..." He said bluntly and Axel's eyes widened. WHAT THE HELL, MAN!? He frowned, glaring at the hooded teen as he could HEAR Sora's heart break.

But everyone stopped as they heard a chuckle from Riku.
"I'm just joking. That's what....friends do, right?" He looked back at Sora, a smile on his face could be seen now as he looked down at Sora's watering eyes. A glove was pulled off and a pale hand reached up, placing his palm on Sora's cheek before a pale thumb ran over the boy's bottom lid, wiping away the tears. "I'd really like it if you joined me."

The blonde girl giggled too as she looked away but her blue eyes met the other and a small nod was given before she looked back up again. GOD, she was so happy that she didn't have to touch that repulsive looking man. She put her chin in her palm cutely, a finger slowly reaching up under the hat and pressed a small button twice on the hidden communicator.

Two beeps went through towards the hiding teens and Axel swallowed. "Well... guess it's time...."

The grin on the man's face became more evil looking as the blue haired teen came closer. His eye grew darker, making Venita a bit unnerved.
The man suddenly grabbed Aqua's wrist and pulled her closer, smiling even more. "Vice versa, little girl~"


The redhead stood, his long rat-tail following behind him as his messy dress clothes shifted. He casually walked to the door and opened it, popping his head out, looking both ways but noticed that the hallway was empty. He came back in, the door closing as he looked over at the other side of the room.
"All the doors are unlocked, yo."

Brown eyes narrowed as a hand reached out, flipping over two cards. Both Zubats. A smile and a wink was given to the blonde from the man with a dot on his forehead before he looked up, hearing the redhead.
"Hmm..." He stood and quickly walked to a few monitors, typing in some things before bringing up some cameras. He saw a problem right away. Their morning security was flirting with two teens... but worse yet, the temperature was abnormal in the room. The same temperature that a ghost made.

"We've got company." He reported, only making the tall redhead grin.
"Finally, something to play with."
The black hair man looked back at the redhead first before the rest of his crew. "Let's split up."

[Reno]

Sora bit his lip as Riku stood there, silent and brooding like always. He tensed some as Riku took a breath to answer and-
"No. I'd rather go alone..."
Blue eyes went wide, his heart snapping in two. W-What? "O-Oh..." He whispered out, his head slowly falling to stare at the ground, unable to stop the sudden wave of pain, liquid filling his eyes quick. Don't cry... Come on, don't cry...
Arcanine's ears fell and she whimpered. But she could smell...
Roxas' eyes widened as he heard the announcement as well and he growled, clenching his hands into fists so hard he heard the bones pop. How... dare that...
Terra was surprised as well. Holy fuck. Did he really?

Sora's head jerked up when he heard the chuckles. Did Riku think this was funny?! He blinked clueless as the other spoke though. Wait... He shut his eyes instinctively as he felt the other brush away some of his tears. He hesitantly reached up, placing his hand over the other's palm. "I'm... gonna have to teach you how to make better jokes. Seriously." He said softly before smiling. Riku... did want him to come.

Everyone stopped however when they heard the beeps. Terra's eyes narrowed but he nodded. "Let's get moving." He turned around and walked over to Flygon, grabbing the reins and jumping on. He held out a hand to Roxas and helped him up.

Sora sighed slowly but walked away a few steps, Riku's hand falling from his face only to be clasped in his. He looked at the other silently for a few moments before smiling. "See you when we get out." Their fingers slid against one against as Sora turned and walked back over to Arcanine, getting onto her back and grabbing onto her collar. Axel had no problem getting on right behind him.

"Alright move out!" Terra snapped the reins. Flygon gave a cry and hopped off the ground, rising a small dust cloud.
"Let's go Arc!" Sora said, kicking in his heels, and with a howl the dog was off.

Aqua smiled uneasily as she was pulled closer, feeling disgust worming it's way into her stomach and settling there like a bad song got stuck on repeat in your head. However just in time she heard her rescuing cry.

"AROOOOOOOOOO!"
The howl made the one-eyed man's attention jerk and her smile turned into a grimace. "Fuck this." Her leg rose and did what any good girl would do against a disgusting male. She gave him a good kick in the balls.

"WAAAAA!" Roxas cried in surprise, holding onto Terra tightly as they shot through the air. His eyes were wide as they distanced themseleves from the ground quickly, until everyone else was nothing but a speck.
Terra just grit his teeth, holding onto the reins tightly as they climbed higher and higher. "Flygon that window there!"
"Fly!" The dragon flew towards it and swiped his tail into the glass. It broke instantly, but the Pokeon's strong scales kept him from getting cut. He drew in his wings and soared in, fluttered as he touched down. The two looked around, Terra's eyebrows furrowing. It was some sort of storage area. "We're in." He said into the communicator.

"Hang on Axel! This'll be rough!" Sora warned as they started to pick up speed, running straight for the tower. "Arc, Extreme Speed!"
The dog growled and she suddenly burst into a sprint, her legs blurring under her and white streams streaking around her. Sora kept her path straight, the large dog seeming to run straight for a wall! "Jump now! Axel duck!"

A lean man with slate colored hair and a lexicon book in his hummed quietly as he sipped his coffee, reading the words on the page as if it was of great interest to him. That's when he heard a huge CRASH as the window just to his left shattered, a small flame burst into the room and then, seconds later a large ARCANINE was suddenly sailing into the room. The two men on her back slowly raised themseleves up, both of them laughing.
"Sorry!" the brunette said to him before he tugged on the dog's mane and she suddenly ran to the door, kicking it open with her front paws and taking off down the hall.
Zexion stared blankly at the open doorway before looking at the coffee. He slowly poured it out all over the floor. "No more coffee for me."

Sora grinned exultingly as doors sped by. "We're in too!" He called.


The blonde pouted a bit as her superior got the two Zubats. She had been so close to picking up that card too! Really!

However the long-haired male stood, going over to their console and humming softly before announcing about their intruders. The blonde sighed and stood, but nodded at the other's order. "Too bad and I was about to beat you too Tseng~"

The bald man just shook his head at his partner's enthusiasm slowly standing as well. He inclined his head at their boss' command and crossed his arms, making his way for the door with the others.

[Rikugurl]

Riku could only smile faintly as he felt Sora's fingers between his, remembering that night that they held hands in Mt Pyre. The feeling.... was hard to describe but he....liked it. A lot.
He nodded and waved slightly.
"Be careful."

With that, the four were off.

Axel grinned as he quickly jumped onto the large dog, finding her ride rather nice and soft compared to Rapidash. He wrapped his arms around Sora's waist as they were rode off.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHH YOU!!" The man coughed as he reached for his jewels, the blonde girl wincing too. However, when she saw him reach for a poke ball, he growled.
"Use Lick now!"
Suddenly a purple ghost appeared behind the man, his tongue coming out and licking him up his whole back.

The man seemed to freeze before toppling over, twitching here and there.
"Hau hau hau!!" The ghost clapped but blinked as he heard some calls around the camp.
"There! HEY YOU!" Another blonde woman jumped from another building and growled before rushing towards the two in Pokemon costumes.

Tseng frowned as he saw what was happening. Exactly what he thought. "It's been while since kids came around looking for their pokemon..." He turned and looked at the blonde. "Elena, you go and take care of those two. I'll fill in the situation to the boss and," He looked over to the men already leaving. "you two split up and---"
"Yea, yea, yea... make sure no one else is breaking in~ We know the routine, yo~" The redhead waved his hand as his other grasped onto a long metal pipe looking thing before he was out the door and down the hallway.

"WHOOOOOOOOOOAA!" Axel cried as he leaned into Sora, feeling gravity pull at them and suddenly he heard a huge crash. When they landed, the breath was taking out of him but he started laughing. THAT WAS AWESOME! AGAIN!
He glanced back, seeing a stunned member sitting down but they were out of the room before he could say anything. They needed to find Froslass, Skitty and Houndoom!

The room in which Terra and Roxas had...flown into was racked up with cage. Sad looking pokemon looked up, some that still had their strength got up and looked at the large dragon. They were mostly rare pokemon such as Ninetails, an array of Eeveelotions and others. Some however were shiny Pokemon and very few that were both rare and shiny.

However, there was no sign of Moltres anywhere.

[Reno]

Aqua smirked some as the man became completely incapacitated, nodding to Ven in gratitude. Ugh, she seriously needed another bath after having that man's greasy fingers all over her! She turned though when she heard the call, seeing a blonde haired woman coming towards them. "Here we go."

She said with a sigh as she walked towards the sparky woman. "Oh sorry, did I hurt your lover?!" She reached towards her belt, and grabbed a Pokeball, enlarging it and threw it. In a burst on light... a brown bunny appeared.
"Looopunny~" Came the soft cry, the Pokemon appearing to be like a ballerina with the way she stood on her toes.

"Sandslash!" Came a cry right behind Ven, the speedy shrew running towards him. There was a largely-built man standing right behind the Pokemon his expression silent and his auburn hair cut short.

Sora looked left and right as the doors sped past them his eyes narrowing. He trusted Arc to make the ca - "Aaah!" He cried in surprise as the large tiger dog suddenly slid to a halt. But it wasn't for a good reason. The brunette blinked and looked forward, his eyes falling onto that of a blonde haired old man... with a Cloyster at his side. "All this ruckus... so very rude I must say." Arcanine growled.


"Oh man..." Roxas whispered softly, seeing all the caged Pokemon all around.

Terra frowned and slipped off his dragon's back as did the blonde. He glanced at the other. They both nodded to one another reaching for a Pokeball each.

"Leafeon! Use leaf blade!"
"Zangoose, slash!" The two cried as they let the Pokeballs fly. The two Pokemon appeared, one a green and tan fox, the other a white and pink mongoose. The fox whined to some familiar faces, and the leaves on his ears and glew. He ran to the nearest cage, cutting into the locks while Cangoose's long and sharp claws also started to shine as he cut into the cages.

Terra looked back at Flygon. "Start flying them down to Riku, okay?"
"Fly!"
He glanced at Roxas. "We should keep going."
"But keep our Pokemon here?!"
"They'll be fine!"

[Rikugurl]

Ven smiled as he nodded at Haunter. "Nice going!" He stopped though when he heard some calls and looked back, seeing some blonde with that weird hairdo. He remembered her to be quite the bitch.

He reached for his own pokeball but stopped as he heard another call, this one from a man very muscular. "Shit."
He stood back to back with Aqua as he reached for another ball. "Espeon, go!"
The purple cat appeared, ready for battle. "Espeon!"

The blonde woman stopped in her tracks and growled. "You stupid bitch! Don't say shit like that!" She reached for a ball on her hip and threw it out, an Electabuzz forming and growling at the bunny.

Down by the bank, not too far away, a hooded teens eyes glowed, more and more Wailords appearing as they were called for help. They would be the ones to ship off the stolen Pokemon... He looked over his shoulder every once in awhile, making sure if anyone needed his help.


Axel bumped into Sora hard as they came to a quick stop and looked over his shoulder to see the.........ugly looking guy.
"HEY! GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Axel called down, his eyes narrowing.


The Pokemon from the cages barked and howled, meowed and growled as they watched others get released before them. Many of them were a bit scared to come out of the cage while others ran around, looking for an exit.
Some stopped, licked their rescuers before calmly rushing to the dragon as he called out for them.

[Reno]

Aqua's eyes narrowed glancing over her shoulder some to spot Ven's opponent. Some big, burly idiotic looking man. He was the silent type... but a tough hitter. Ven would be okay though.

She turned her head hearing Larxene's annoying shrill and laughed when she saw her Pokemon. "Ahh, I see a family resemblance here." She nodded to her bunny. "Alright let's get this over with. Quick attack!"

"Loooo~" Said the graceful bunny, spinning around with flourish like a dance would when on stage making her opponents sweatdrop. "PUNNY!" Lopunny suddenly took off straight towards the electric type.

"Swift." Said the large man, his face steeled into a hostile look.
"SLASH!" Called the rodent as he jumped into the air and curled in a ball, spinning around. Stars flew from the spikes on his back and flew for the purple fox.


"Excu-SE me?" Vexen growled. "This is my base, and you're telling me to-"
"Arcy, fire blast!" Sora interrupted. They didn't have time for this!!
Arcanine's eyes glowed some. "Aaaaar!" She opened her mouth and a large flame burst from her mouth turning into a star shape.

"Aurora Beam!"
"Cloooyster!" The spike on the clam's head glowed and a rainbow array of light flew over the hall. It created an explosion and a lot of black smoke.

"Ahahahaha that's what you get for interrupting me!" Vexen laughed even as he coughed up the smoke. He shook his head and then blinked cluelessly as the smoke cleared. His opponents were gone. "Huh?"

"Sorry gotta run!" Came a voice from behind him. The ugly labcoated scientist turned around, seeing Arcanine and her passengers. Had they jumped OVER him? "See ya!" Called the spunky brunette before he kicked in his heels and they went speeding down the hall.
"H-Hey!!! Get back here I'm not done - DIDN'T YOUR MOM EVER TEACH YOU IT WAS RUDE TO RUN AWAY WHILE SOMEONE'S TALKING TO YOU?!"

Sora just chuckled some as he had his pet turn when he found a flight of stairs, the graceful dog easily taking them five at a time until they were up another level. She paused again though at the top, making Sora worried - but no opponents were in sight. However still she stood, poised and at attention, ears flicking.
"What is it girl?" Sora asked. As if those words were an order she suddenly rushed down the hall. It wasn't hard to find out what caused her such distress as they turned down a hallway and stopped. "Oh... no..." Sora whispered in horror.

It was obviously some sort of Pokemon training room. Instead of their being an enclosing wall to hide the sight however there was a big glass window, probably utilized for when new members came around to witness how a Team Rocket member should 'train' their Pokemon. Some of the sessions must get pretty rough because he could see the remains of dried blood still on the inside walls, never cleaned or removed.

But what was worse was... someone was inside. Training if you could call it that. It was some kid - seriously probably nine or ten - with pink hair. She was holding a sword in her hand and glaring at the hanging light fixture. It was wait she was glaring at that drew his attention. It was a little Swablu, cowering as high up as it could manage - which with that sword wasn't much. It probably should of been flying around, would of been safer, but one look at its right wing told why it could not. It was definitely injured, it's white fluffy cloud-like feathers splattered with blood.

Across the room was another boy about her age with red hair sitting against the wall and watching, expressionless. Not doing anything at all.

It made Sora feel sick... and furious. His teeth ground down forcefully. How could anyone...? "Axel..." He hissed glancing over his shoulder. They would be getting off track but they had to save that Swablu!


Roxas smiled a little as he was licked by a shiny Growlithe, petting it atop the head. He frowned some though - could Flygon really handle them all - and reached for Skamory's ball.
"Keep him, we might need him for another room." Terra warned as he hurried for the door. Roxas hesitated but nodded hurrying after the brunette. "Leafeon keep them calm!" Terra called before the two trainers hurried out the door and shut the rescued Pokemon inside. There best bet would be Flygon at this point.

"Flly!" Flygon called softly as he laid down, letting the Pokemon collected on his back or get wrapped around his tail. He even managed to hold a few before he flew out of the window at a slow pace. He found Riku easily landing on the ground heavily, eeveelutions, shinys and other Pokemon, went running for freedom. Once they were off he spread his wings and flew quickly back to the window to collect more. This was going to be a heck of a workout!

Terra sighed as he glanced back down the hall, knowing he was leaving behind two MORE of his Pokemon. Now he only had three...

[Rikugurl]

The blonde Rocket's cheeks darkened in rage as she heard the insult. "Why you little bitch!" She barked before looking down at the electric pokemon. When she saw the bunny come after, she got into stance. "Use Thunder Wave!"

"BUUUUUUUUUU!!" The yellow and black pokemon growled, putting his hands out towards the bunny before opening his mouth wide. Just as she got close, a wave of electricity shot out at her.

"Espeon! Protect and then Psychic!"
The black eyed cat watched the mole slash down towards it and just before it could, a large bubble wrapped around her, making the Sandslash hit hard and bounce off.
"ESPEE!!" She cried as she pulled her head back then glared at the ground type, a wave of telepathic energy shooting out at it.


"HO SHI----" The redhead ducked as he heard the attacks being called. WAS SORA NUTS!? He hid his face in Sora's back, feeling the whole world shake and then...a leap.
His eyes opened and he looked back, seeing the furious old man waving his fist at them and laughed. "Jeezus, Sora! Don't ever do that again!"

The large dog was up the stairs in no time but when she stopped, so didn't Axel's heart.
Oh god... not another blast. It was worse though when he slowly looked around Sora, seeing where the fire god was headed. When his green eyes were able to see what was behind the glass though, his heart sunk.
That poor Swablu...

When he heard his name, he knew it was a calling. He was a Pokemon Rescuer.... he had to save that pokemon. He quickly grabbed his belt and shot it out, the energy forming an angry pokemon.
"TYYYYYYYYYYYY!" It roared as the fire around it's shoulders and neck erupted.

"Use Focus Blast on that window!"
"TYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!" The fire pokemon reared it's head before letting out a powerful beam from it's mouth, the power so strong it made the thick glass shatter and put a hole in the wall on the other side.

"Come on you stupid little bird,
You did the wrong attack, you must of misheard.
You better come here, get your punishment quick
Or my sword right here will give you a good WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

The little girl cried as the blast came out of no where and she hit the ground. When the dust, glass and smoke cleared, she slowly stood and growled as her bright green eyes shot out at the fire pokemon and the rescuers.
"You idiots! Look what you've done!
You've ruined me and my brother's fun!"

She stomped and grabbed the only poke ball she had on her belt, tossing it out.

When it formed, it was just a strange looking rock. However, in the matter of seconds, an odd smoke came out of it, and green eyes narrowed at the rescuers.
"What the hell is that?" Axel questioned with a frown.

"USE WATER PULSE!" An attack was shouted out too quick for Axel to think anymore on the subject and learned quite quickly.
"SPIRITOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMB!" Water blasted out towards the Typhlosion.
"Dodge and use---"
Just as Axel was calling the orders, the volcano pokemon dodged and shot towards the pokemon.

Everyone watched dumbfounded as he grabbed Spiritomb's rock and......chucked it out the hole.
"TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMB!?"
It cried as it fell down the side of the pillar.
"HEY!" The little girl cried as she rushed to the hole to go watch the stone hit the bottom.


Even a large black dragon was happy to see the leaf pokemon that she knew so well.

Down below, Riku also had his hands full.
More rocket members were getting the idea that they were under attack and were coming out of the building. He needed to get the rescued pokemon onto the Wailord quickly.
His eyes glowed blue, capturing the thought of all the pokemon close by while Metagross flew after those that were running in all different directions.

[Reno]

Aqua couldn't help but smirk in triumph as she heard the blonde woman's call - perfect. She expected as much. "Magic coat!"

"Punny!" Cried the running bunny, stopping unexpectedly and she started to glow, a pink glow surrounding her. The Thunderwave hit her and circled around her... before shooting right back at Electabuzz and paralyzing him instead!

Aqua tsked at the blonde woman. "Ahh too bad. Finish it with jump kick!" Lopunny nodded and bounced into the air, doing a showy little flip as if she was a natural from a contest (which she was - she was stolen from a coordinator) and then as she descending hit Eletabuzz hard into the head with one of her power feet, knocking him back and into his own trainer.

"Sand!" Cried the Sandslash as he was forced back by the protect. And then he was hit by the telekinetic energy. "SAAAAAAND!" The porcupine rodent flew through the hair then hit down hard, swirls in his eyes.
The large man huffed and recalled his Pokemon. "You aren't getting away with this." He told Ven as he reached for another one.


Sora smiled as Axel jumped into action and he saw Typholsion for the first time close up and the fire-Pokemon was quick to destroy the glass window. Arcanine took several uneasy steps back as glass flew everywhere.

Inside the red-head jumped to his feet as the blast went through the room, coughing some as dust rose from the attack. His eyes narrowed as he spotted their intruders.
"Swaaa!" Cried the little Pokemon up above, her light swinging back and forth. She hopped nervously back and forth, and looked over the edge as the battle started between the mean pink-haired lady and the weird animal - and ended quite quickly! "Blu?"

The red-haired boy growled with fury and turned on the little rascals.
"How dare you do that to my sister's ghost?!
But don't you dare try and boast!
I'll beat you now,
So saw a vow!"
He reached to his belt, like as sister only having one, just as Sora did as well.

Two balls of energy formed. One was a orange mouse with a lightning-bolt tail, the other was a blue toad-like pokemon with a flower like plant on it. Ivysaur.
The red-head scoffed at the brunette's choice.
"What is that,
some weak rat?"
Raichu's ears twitched and his eyes narrowed furiously. WHAT did he just say?
Sora stared with wide eyes. Uh oh...
"Arrr..." Whined the dog.

"This will be a zip!
Ivysaur vine whip!" The boy said triumphantly.

"Raichu-" Sora started to say, but the mouse, like with Axel and Typhlosion, sped off before he could say a word, right into agility!
"Chu. Chu. Chu!" Cried the little mouse as he sped under and past the two vines and yellow electricity suddenly surrounded him like a coat. "Rairairai - CHUUU!" He smacked into the plant-Pokemon throwing him upwards. The mouse spun, smacking him hard with his still sparking tail.
"IVVVVY!" The Pokemon cried as he was thrown into the remains of the wall by a surprisingly powerful tail.

The red-head spun around, his eyes full of surprise. "No this can not - huh?" He stopped suddenly as he felt something brush his leg and looked down. Raichu was there... his tail against the boy's leg, smirking away as his cheeks sparked. "Oh - No!."
"Rai... CHUUUU!"
"WAAAAAAH!" The boy screeched and fell over as he was hit by the thunder attack.


"Leeee~" Leafeon said happily to the shiny Charizard he had once fought before hurrying off to help others.
The Charizard growled back softly, stepping from the cage. She looked around at all the Pokemon running around, Terra and Roxas hardly able to keep them under control as they ran all over the place. Flygon flew in and out of the window as fast as he could, obviously starting to get tired. But what caught her attention was the pink and white Pokemon's next cage choice. They had come in here together...

"Zaaaan!" Cried the Zangoose as he slashed opened another cage a purple Lapras inside. She whined softly to him - how would they get her out?

"CHAAAAAAAAR!" Roared the dragon and all the Pokemon flinched and cringed at the noise, freezing in place. She suddenly soared over all of them, her wings a brilliant white and smashed into the wall making the whole about three times bigger - debris falling to the far away ground. She whirled in a circle and flew back inside to the Lapras cage - picking her up by her shell and flying her out, much to everyone's shock.

"Whoa..." Roxas said his eyes wide as he watched the black dragon carry the Lapras away. That was... amazing!
Terra raised an eyebrow, also surprised - but something faint drew his attention and made him look over his shoulder towards the door. Was that...? "Hey, I think I just heard Moltres."
"Really?!" The blonde spun around.
The brunette nodded and glanced back. "Stay here, I'll go and get her, alright?"
"Wha- but..." The blonde started to protest before pausing, remembering what Aqua had said. Moltres would be the highest up and most heavily guarded...
He paled, guessing that if there was an elite, that would be where they were. A strong trainer like Terra could handle that, right? "Go right ahead."

The brunette raised an eyebrow but nodded and hurried out the door.

"HAUNTER! NOW!" The blonde girl cried, though her voice wasn't anything from girly. It was an obvious boy in drag.
The bulky, slow man didn't see it coming as a Haunter appeared behind him and gave him one large lick in up his back, paralyzing him.
"HAU HAU HAU!" The happy ghost clapped again as the man fell over.

"AAAAAAAH!!" The blonde girl cried as she fell over from the large pokemon. Unfortunately for her, the waves around her Pokemon caught around her as well, making it impossible to move as well.

"YOU BRATS!" Another cry came out at the two, the man with the two toned hair and eye patch growled at them before he released his own Pokeball. A HUGE energy appeared, forming a Pokemon that was over 30 feet high. A huge roar filled the island as the steal Pokemon glared down at the two ex-rockets.

It wasn't any normal Steelix either... but a bright, golden one.
Blue eyes widened in shock as so didn't Espeon's.
"Oh....shit...."

Riku couldn't help but hear the huge cry as well... but just as his eyes caught the shiny Steelix, it also caught sight of something that he though he never would...
A shiny Charizard bringing down a.......shiny Lapras!?

The purple Lapras was dropped gently into the water. "Laa!!" The pokemon replied happily. It had been so long since she had been in the water.
Riku looked up, his eyes glowing blue as he spoke to the Charizard.
"Please, can you help Flygon bring down the others?"


At the cry of her brother, the pink haired girl spun around, her eyes wide before rushing to the redhead.
"Oh dear brother, are you alright!?
All I saw was a flash of light!"

As the siblings conversed, Axel jumped off the tiger dog and rushed inside the room, his shoes crunching on the glass. He stood under the light and held out his hands. "Come on! Jump! It's ok!"


Inside another room down the hall, a few doors and volts led to a large room. Inside it was a large machine and a huge clump of ice. Water was on the floor but draining out from the drains in the floor.
Inside the ice though was a cage, holding captive a large, legendary bird.

He large feet stumbled around before she finally fell, exhausted from using so much of her energy. She had been trying to melt the ice around her...but it seemed like no matter how much fire she blasted at it... it wouldn't completely melt. When she slept and awoke, more ice was layered on.

However, unknowing to her, that was exactly what Team Rocket wanted her to do. There were pads on the ice that would absorb the heat and turn it into energy that was being stored else where. Enough energy to launch their own rocket if they wanted to...

"Moooooooooooooooooooooool!!" She gave a shrill, before completely collapsing. Her flames were slowly going out but... there was a small flame of hope. Axel was coming to save her.... she just knew it.


A little red seed of a Pokemon was released in the room, but from all the large paws, hooves, flippers and the such, it was starting to lose direction on where to go to get out. However, he spring up when he saw a door opened thanks to Terra and slowly started to waddle out.
"Seedot~" The little pokemon said happily as it walked down the hall in the different direction as Terra.

Luckily Roxas was able to notice and went after him but... no matter what the blonde did, the little pokemon was too fast to capture as they ran down the hallway.

The pokemon rushed into an open door and into the middle of the room that looked like a small lab. He looked around, but didn't even notice as the blonde came after him.
