Sorry for the delays, here it is.
Chapter 8
After witnessing the deaths of the three legendary Pokémon, Thunder, Spark and Jack returned to camp, and upon returning, started planning how they would break into the airport the next day. “I think that we should just go in and hit everybody with Thunderbolts.” Spark suggested, but Jack and Thunder immediately objected and started lecturing about what would happen if they had a Ground type Pokémon.
“O.K, O.K, bad idea.” The Raichu shouted, not wanting to have the other two tell him how stupid he was. They sat in silence for a while, then, Thunder had an idea.
“How about this” he started “Spark and I capture some Rocket, then Jack can take the uniform and sneak in, find what we need, and get back out without ever being noticed. By the time they find the moron, who we will have tied up and gagged, we’ll be long gone.”
“It’s the perfect plan.” Spark decided “It doesn’t sound so hard either. We just need to ambush a Rocket, what could be easier?”
Of course, Jack didn’t agree “There are a hundred things that could go wrong” he started “And I don’t see you two offering to do the hard part. What if they find out I’m not one of them? I’m not an Eevee anymore, so unless one of you comes with me, I’m not doing it. Why should I help you guys anyway?”
“Reason number one” the said the gold Pikachu, who was starting to get angry “Spark will come with you and pretend that he’s your Pokémon. Reason number two. If you don’t do it, I’ll see how much electricity your body can take before you faint. That good enough for you?”
After that thinly veiled threat, Thunder grabbed the other two as best he could and started in the direction of the airport.
A few hours later, they were lying under a bush, waiting for their opportunity to abduct a Rocket grunt. Seeing a guard who faintly resembled Jack in height and appearance, the Pikachu and Raichu jumped out of the bush and used Thunder Bolt on Rocket, immediately knocking him unconscious and dragged him out of sight of anyone in the airport. Taking off his uniform, they put it on Jack. The black hat fit, but the black boots, pants, gloves and the shirt with the red Team Rocket “R” were all slightly too big.
“Oh well” Thunder said “Unless we kill this one, which would be fun, we can’t get another one, so you’re stuck with stuff that’s to big for you, enjoy.”
Saying nothing, Jack and Spark left to do their task, while Thunder tied and gagged the captured Grunt. “I might as well have a little fun with him while I wait.” he thought to himself as he picked up pebbles to throw at his prisoner.
Meanwhile, Jack and Spark were having a hard time finding the airport’s control room. Luckily for them, the huge, grey hangars were mostly abandoned with the exception of the few Grunts who had been left to guard them. Finally seeing a smaller, tall, grey building at the far end of the hangars, Jack and Spark headed towards it. Entering it, then climbing the concrete stairs, they got to the control room. Walking towards the one Rocket that was in there, Jack decided to ask where Lightning was taken.
“Hey, do you know where Lightning, I mean that Pikachu was taken?” Without turning around, the Grunt answered “Yeah, it was shipped off to HQ back in Kanto” then started eating a sandwich that was made of some unidentifiable meat. Then, Jack made the mistake of asking where HQ was. “If you were a real Rocket” the Grunt said, turning around “You would know that. Muk, make sure that this impostor stays right where he is.” Throwing the Pokeball, he finished turning around, but all that was there was a pair of boots and a swinging door. Starting to run after them, he slipped on his Muk, who had just come out of its Pokeball, and fell backwards onto the control panel, accidentally smashing through the glass that encased the alarm button and hitting it with his head. Of coarse, he got multiple cuts to his head, and as the high pitched whine of the siren began, Muk crawled over to see if the unfortunate Rocket was dead. Seeing that he wasn’t, Muk crawled away, but not before some of his poison seeped into his trainer’s cuts. As he crawled away, Muk realized that he could escape the cruelty of the Rockets and slithered out the still swinging door and down the stairs. Exiting the building, he got outside just in time for the guards chasing Jack and Spark to slip on him and break some bones. Overjoyed at their bad luck, the Pokémon left the airport and entered the forest, crawling past Thunder hiding spot as he escaped the Rockets forever.
But Jack and Spark weren’t so lucky as to escape without some Grunts chasing them. Dodging the Muk, two of the guards chased Jack and Spark until they reached the forest. Getting fried with a double Thunder Bolt, they fell at the feet of the two electric mouse Pokémon.
“Can’t you do anything right?” Thunder angrily asked Jack and Spark as they started to enter the forest “Your job was simple. Get in, find what you need and get out. For almost getting caught you better know where Lightning is.” Once they told the gold Pikachu where she was, he started sprinting towards the nearest human city, leaving the other two the choice of either running some more, or staying behind with the two Rocket corpses.
I have no idea when Chapter 9 is going to get started, so expect another long wait. As always, R&R please.
