Pokemon Fan Fiction ❯ Pokemon Heroes ❯ Team Rocket Rookies ( Chapter 6 )

Author's Note: Well, I've managed to get Pokemon Pearl since the last update, so I can now bring you Pokemon from each and every generation! Rejoice!

 

Kammy sat; stunned at everything that was happening. She recalled her new Kakuna, while Samantha surveyed the area, looking for what caused the blast. However, Kammy frantically searched for her friend, Jesse. Samantha found an exploded Electrode. “Well that explains what the blast was” Samantha said. “Well duh!” Kammy said, slightly irritated, but more concerned with Jesse “Just what happened to my friend?”

 

“You don' t think that, maybe, the blast killed him?” Samantha said hesitantly, with good reason too. Kammy grabbed her by the shirt, and lifted her off the ground. “If you ever say something like that, I'm going to destroy you! Got it?” Kammy threw Samantha to the ground, and then continued to search for clues as to what happened. `What's her problem?' Samantha thought to herself `There has to be more than just friendship between them…' Samantha dismissed the thought for now, and continued to follow Kammy.

 

Kammy noticed a trail of footprints leading away from where Jesse was previously sitting. She could only assume that these would lead to where Jesse was to be found. Without consulting Samantha, Kammy rushed off, following the footprints. Samantha, however stalled behind her, not quite sure what to do. She eventually ended up following her. The trail led back to the Viridian Forest, but not a part that they had traveled through. The trail led so deep in the forest, the trail began to get extremely hard to follow. They traveled so deep into the forest, that people became scarce, and soon, they didn't spot any at all. It was only Pokemon that inhabited the forest.

 

“I hate this…” Kammy whispered to herself “Creepy bug Pokemon…” Even though Kammy whispered, Samantha heard her. “Why don't you like Bug Pokemon? You're not afraid of them, are you?” Samantha teased. “N-no! Of course not! What gave you that stupid idea?”

“Well, you might want to watch out for that Caterpie” Kammy shrieked with terror, until she realized there wasn't anything there. She thought about yelling at Samantha, but Jesse popped into her head, and suddenly, she was more worried about him that Samantha's little prank.

 

Eventually, the found a staircase, heading down into the earth, or at least, so it seemed. They both stared at it for a moment, not quite knowing what it was, or where it might lead. “Go on, Kammy” Samantha whispered, nervously. Kammy didn't respond, however. She stared down into the darkness, somewhat scared, but charged down them fearlessly, with Samantha slowly trailing behind. What they found, at the bottom of the stairs, was not what either of them expected. The stairs placed them inside of a high-tech looking, base, of sorts. Kammy marveled at the technology “This is far to advanced for children…” Other people, all of them looked no older than Kammy or Samantha themselves. “What is this place?” Samantha asked, somewhat nervous.

 

“An intruder, huh?” A young boy approaching them said. He wore a white lab coat, and glasses so thick, neither Samantha nor Kammy could identify his eye color. “This is the Junior Team Rocket training facility. This is where we train and learn to be actual Team Rocket operatives”

 

“I don't care!” Kammy yelled, gripping a Pokeball in hand “Tell me where my friend is!”

“I'm afraid I can't do that,” The boy said, with a sly grin uncurling on his face “You're not even going to pass this point!” the boy threw a Pokeball, and out popped a Nuzleaf, a tree-like Pokemon, standing itself on two legs. “Go find Jesse, Kammy. I'll take care of this guy. Go, Aria! Use Peck attack!” Samantha's Hoothoot jumped at the Nuzleaf, pecking furiously at it as Kammy moved on, venturing deeper into the base. Eventually, she came across a room, guarded by two kids, with a giant widow in the room. Inside, she saw another kid in a lab coat, and Jesse, trapped in a cage. Jesse was looking at something, inside a pool of water, but where Kammy was positioned, she couldn't see what it was.

 

“Hey you!” one of the guards yelled, finally spotting Kammy. “Hold it right there!”

“No time for this… Go Flare and Mickey!” She threw the two Pokeballs, and out came her Charmander, and female Nidoran. “Well, if it's a battle you want…” The guards said “Go Kricketune!” One yelled, throwing a Pokeball containing a standing, cricket-like Pokemon. “Go Yanma!” the other one yelled. From this Pokeball came a dragonfly-like Pokemon. Kammy sighed, and thought to herself `How smart can you be, using bug types against poison and fire?' She simply laughed, and yelled “Flare, use ember on Yanma, and Mickey use Poison Sting on Kricketune”

 

Both Pokemon carried out these commands to perfection. Mickey stabbed at Kricketune with a small, poisonous barb, while Flare shot small embers at the flying Yanma. Both Pokemon went down instantly. “That was easy enough” Kammy said with a smile, running passed them into the room Jesse was being held.

 

“Kammy!” Jesse yelled as soon as she entered the room “You gotta help that Chinchou!” Jesse pointed at the pool of water, and the Pokemon that was inside it. “I'm afraid I can't let you do that…” The boy in the lab coat said, “We need this Chinchou. It's the only Pokemon that can harness electricity underwater, which is exactly what we need to power this water pump”

“Water pump? What would you need that for?” Kammy questioned. “That's really none of your business. Just know its part of Team Rockets future plan”.

“Well that plan ends here! Flare, scratch on the glass!” Flare attempted, but to now avail. “Kammy! Give me the Pokeball on the table next to you!” Jesse yelled out to her. The boy in the lab coat threw a Pokeball in front of her. “No way! Go, Ekans! Use poison sting on the girl!” Ekans shot a series of poisonous stingers at Kammy, but Mickey jumped in the way. “Mickey, are you okay?” Mickey tried getting up, but failed. “Okay Mickey, return” Kammy held up her Pokeball, and Mickey was transported back inside. “Flare, use Ember on Ekans!” Flare bulleted Ekans with a series of Embers, while Kammy threw the Pokeball to Jesse. “Okay, let's go, Staryu!” Jesse yelled. He threw the Pokeball inside the cage, and Staryu jumped out of it. “Okay, Kammy, have Flare use ember on the bars”

“You heard him, Flare! Use Ember!” Charmander's embers heated the metal bars until they were glowing red-hot. “Okay, Staryu, use Water Gun!” From the tip of the top point on Staryu's head, a stream of water fired at the bars. They cooled again, but were weaker than before. “Okay Staryu, use Rapid Spin!” Staryu leapt into the air, and spun wildly at the bars, breaking them instantly, and allowing for Jesse's escape. “Okay, now use Rapid Spin on the glass!”

“NOOOOOOOO!” The boy yelled. Staryu collided with the glass, shattering it instantly. The Chinchou inside landed on the ground, worn out from its ordeal. “Jesse, let's go!” Kammy yelled to him. “Not yet” Jesse said “As a soon-to-be Water Pokemon master, I cannot let this water Pokemon stay here. Pokeball, go!”

 

Jesse threw the Pokeball, capturing the Chinchou without struggle. “Okay, lets get this thing to the Pokemon Center”. They sprinted back to the exit, and found Samantha on the way, who had just finished her battle against the lab boy and his Nuzleaf. “Hey, what's going on?” She asked. “No time to explain” Jesse said “Let's go!” The three kids never stopped running, until they hit the Pokemon Center in Pewter City. While they were healing all their Pokemon, Jesse and Kammy filled Samantha in on what was going on. “So they needed the Chinchou to power an underwater water pump?” Samantha asked, curiously. “I wonder what they were going to do with it?”

“He never said” Kammy said. “Umm… Kammy…” Jesse said, mumbling. “Yes, Jesse?”

“Umm… thank you for saving me” Kammy smiled, and kissed him on the cheek, as her way of saying `Your Welcome'. Jesse blushed, while Samantha snickered, and said “You did very good today. I think you're ready to beat Brock”. Kammy smiled “Yes! Tomorrow, I'm off to win my first badge!”
