In the m I wake up to the sound of something tapping on the walls of my tent. I look in the dire of the sound and I see a human silhouette refleg on the wall. I quickly get up and throw on some random clothes from my bag befrabbing Skadi and stepping out of my tent. I see Bea stepping out of her tent at about the same time while yawning.

  “M~” I call as I yawn because of Bea. I don’t know why, but seeing someone yawn always makes me yawn as well.

  “Morn’/Mornin’” The two of them call back at the same time. I let gling and Zephyr out of their pokeballs and I go about making breakfast for everyo does not take us long to ihe food and then up our campsite a baderway in the darkness. I recall Zephyr before we leave as it is still too dangerous for her to be about in the cave.

  As we walk along, gling creates a gentle music for us as it flies along just behind my shoulder where it hear my musially as I am walking, the music pyer just pys some quiet lofi style music extremely quietly to where I just barely hear it. It seems to sense around me, so when a pokemon that cause me harm is near. If I want to, I turn off the music but currently I haven’t had any issues besides the Paras from two nights ago.

  We seem to be moving at a faster pace today. I guess the two of them don’t want to spend ara time in the dark or away from the sun. The darkness and ck of sun were not really b me as I was actually much more fortable as it was cooler than being in the sun and the darkness was nothing to my eyes. Our pace isn’t so fast that we ’t talk, but it is about double the speed we had when we first entered Mount Moon.

  After some time traveling, it is hard to tell how much time passes when you don’t have any visual cues, I spot a rge area of unnatural light. I furrow my brows and try to focus on the light in the distahe light isn’t the white of daylight, but the yellowish light of artificially made light.

  “Girls, do you see that rge spot of light?” I ask as we get closer as I am not sure if they could see it earlier.

  “I see it, I’ve been w what it was.” Fnnery replies with a thoughtful voice.

  “Whatever it is, it shouldn’t be here. That amount of light would disrupt the pokemon.” Bea answers as we tio move closer.

  “Check it out?”

  “”Check it out””

  I giggle slightly at the response and so does gling. I got the feeling that they are both bored and this is a good distra. We tio get closer and I decide to turn off my music for the moment so I could listen. For a moment, all I hear is our footsteps and the quiet ch of loose stone below our feet, but suddenly I hear some unintelligible voices ing from ahead. The voices soued, until I hear the sounds of pokemon cries as well. I press on Bea and Fnnery’s shoulders to indicate them to move faster. As we move into the light, I finally see what is going on.

  In front of us, there are about five people in biforms tossing odd colored pokeballs at any pokemon they see. Swarms of Zubat, Geodude, Rattata, Paras, Sandshrew and Clefairy and running around try to escape from the people in bck. I see a few pokemon fighting against the wild pokemon, trying to keep them where the people in bck try to catch them. I see a pokeball fly and nd on a Sandshrew, only for it to be sucked in by a bck light and the ball promptly disappears. I focus on the people and as ourns slightly I see the telltale sign on their chest, the huge red R for Team Rocket.

  “Team Rocket,” I hiss out to the girls as I catch them before they get any closer. “There are only about five that I see, we take them out if we catch them by surprise.”

  “Why would we do that? Who is Team Rocket?” Fnnery asks, looking fused.

  “They are a criminal group that are catg pokemon in rge numbers for some unknown reason.” Bea answers as she releases her tokemon. “Frost happeo fight some ba Viridian City whetacked a Poketer there.”

  “Whe out, check the forums, you will see they are a problem all over Kanto and Johto.” I reply as I release Zephyr while thinking of a pn. I look at gling, “Hey buddy, I know you are new oeam, but would you be willing to help? These are bad people.” gling looks around at what is happening befiving me a nod. “Thanks buddy.”

  I take a few more seds before ing up with a pn. “Alright so, how about I try to disable as many of the Rocket members as possible and then Bea and I take out whomever is still standing. I figure our training would make quick work of them. In the meantime, Fnnery, how about you take out the pokemon that are attempting to stop the wild pokemon from leaving?” I offer, as I tell them the pn I came up with. “Skadi and gling both have status moves that would be effective against trainers, while I leave Zephyr to you as she is better at taking out pokemon.”

  Fnnery furrows her brow, thinking about what to do. I tell she is uneasy about attag the group. “Are you sure we should attack? There are more of them than us.”

  “If we take out the trainers or distract them, the wild pokemon might be able to attack their pokemon, making the fight easier. Right now they are attag with coordination and the wild pokemo w together.” I watch as another pokemos in range of the criminals and quickly disappears into another one of those odd pokeballs.

  “I think Frost has the right idea, Fnnery. I don’t know what they are going to do with these pokemon, but it is better to prevent it.” Bea offers as she watches what is going on while doing a bit of warming up with a big grin on her face.

  Fnnery looks at the two of us before sighing and nodding. “Alright let’s do this.”

  “Great!” I give her a smile before turning to my pokemon. “Zephyr, follow Fnnery’s ands. You are to take out the pokemoing the wild ones from esg. Skadi, gling, I want you two to attack the people in bck. Skadi, use Icy Wind and fuse Ray on them, it should slow them down and give us time to attack. gling, I want you to use Astonish on them and then use fusion on their legs to trip them up.” My pokemon nod at me in uanding and I see Bea is also giving out dires. As for Fnnery, she has her Ponyta out. “I’ll start us off then… gling use Astonish on the people in bck!” I call out the attack.

  gling moves in front of me before he starts to vibrate and glow a deep purple color before a cmorous sous from the little bell. I flinch slightly at the sound as I am not expeg how loud it would be, but I see it hit all the members of Team Rocket and they stagger uhe assault. “Skadi, Icy Wind!” I call out as I run towards the closest Rocket Grunt. From behind me, a wave of pale blue energy soars past me and hits all the staggered grunts, causing them to glow a faint blue color as well. I see that their movement has slowed down as I reach my first target.

  The target I pick out still has his back turowards me due to the ued assault. Making use of my momentum, I pnt a foot and deliver a beautiful kick to the back of his head. My kids with a beautiful sound and the unfortunate recipient of my attack is sent flying face first into a stone hey hit and colpse to the ground in an unmoving heap.

  As my foot hits the flain, I redirect myself towards my arget who turned just in time to watch what happeo my first victim. Out of the er of my eye, I see Bea reach her first target, but I don’t have time to watch as an untrained punes flying at me. I see my target stumble over something as I grab their arm and perform a shoulder throw that would make any Judo master proud. The Rocket member looks up at me in shock as wis knocked out of him.

  “Sorry, not sorry” I say as I kick his head like a soccer ball, knog him out like the other rocket. I hear something crack from my kick but I don’t pay any attention to it as I turn to look at my arget. I raise my eyebrow as I notice him attag the air instead of Bea or me. I take a sed to look at Bea and notice she is looking at the st guy as well while at her feet are two more unmoving bodies. I tilt my head towards the st guy and Bea gives me a smirk before walking up to the poor sap and pung him hard in the sor plexus. The st rocket colpses on the floor a sed ter.

  I look around to see the situation with the pokemon, and I see that the wild pokemon disperse or they are helping to take out the Rocket pokemon. I start grabbing the pokeballs from the belts of the unscious grunts and start to recall their pokemon. Once all the pokemon are recalled, almost all the rest of the pokemon disperse while a couple watch us warily. I smile at them and call my pokemon to me as I pull out the neon pink rope from my bag. I see Fnnery raise an eyebrow at me wheices the rope and I just blush lightly as I start binding their arms in a hojojutsu capture tie, and stringing them together so we easily bring them out and call in the Jennys.
