The War Begins....

[Hana-san]

'Okay, but do we have a location on where they are?' Blade asked, suddenly sounding serious.

'Blade, we don't need a location, they'll find us, we have bait now don't we.' Liz said winking. She took out one of the pokeballs and tossed it out in front of her.

'Muddy will do the trick won't she.' Ami said standing up, 'Ever since she evolved, Drake co. have been after us.'

'Yeah but this will come in handy won't it Aims.' Liz said standing up aswell.

Blade stood up and looked at the rest of the group, 'I have pokemon we can use aswell.' Blade tossed a pokeball letting out his Gyarados, 'Whoops, wrong pokeball.' He said rushing to get the Gyarados back into the pokeball and getting out a different one, 'Okay this is the right one, Go Feraligatr!' Blade threw the pokeball out in front of him letting out his Feraligatr.

'I thought you left that behind.' Liz said.

'Nope, I always have him with me.' Blade said smiling.

[treynor33]

"Raichu can lighten things up." Tom said. Tom let out a pokeball with a lightning bowl sticker. The pokeball open to a little red Raichu. Raichu needed a fight. Raichu never had one for a long time. "So when will they come?" Tom asked.

[PMJ]

"NOW!" shouted Roy as he burst throught the door with 10 male grunts, 10 female grunts and all their pokémon.

"Holy... Go Swinub and Snorunt! Bulbasaur and Treecko!" said Snowdrop.
"Crap! Magneton, Ditto, Porygon, Beldum, Zubat! Come out!" Frankie panicked.
Frankie and Snowdrop's pokémon all burst out of their pokéballs.

Hydro and Flare followed suit. Cyndaquil, Venusaur, Torkoal, Nidorina, Grovyle, Tropius and Murkrow all came out, too.

A flock of about 20 Zubats flew at the gang, and 10 Seel slid across the floor towards them.

"Uh-oh!" said Flare.

[treynor33]

"Raichu! Chain lightning!" Tom commanded. Raichu hit one Zubat and the lightning traveled to the next one and on. Half the Zubats fell to the ground. "Thunder!" Tom shouted. The skies turned into a greyish color. The thunder came down and the radius was so big it hit about A quarter of the seals.

[PMJ]

"Cyndaquil! Flamethrower!" shouted Flare. The flames licked at a Zubat and took it down. Frankie pulled Flare aside. "There can't be many grunts left, and most of them are probably guarding the Drake Co. boss... wherever he is..." Flare nodded "You see that door over there?" Frankie pointed across the room. "Through there is the room where they are keeping our pokémon. Go in there and grab all the pokémon you can!"

[Elfie]

Marli and Simone saw Flare running to the room, and they followed him.
They all got through the door and saw a load of cages. "Gardevoir!" said Marli as she ran to the cage. She tried to open the lock but it was padlocked and there was no keys. She spotted Torchic in another cage. "Torchic, melt the locks!" Flare's Torchic and Marli's Torchic melted the locks on the cages and Gardevoir, Torchic, Slugma, Golem, Rhydon, Blasty, Mawile and Totodile came out.

Five grunts ran through the door, and started attacking the twins. "Gardevoir! Teleport all the freed pokémon to Rachel at the pokémon center!!!" Simone shouted.
Gardevoir began to glow and all the freed pokémon disappeared.

"Mawile! Crunch! Spoink! Psychic!" Marli screamed, and her two pokémon attacked some random Zubats from the grunts.
Simone's Delcatty used Blizzard on a Squirtle, aand it got knoked out.

[PMJ]

OOC: LIVVY! Flare needs his pokémon, they didn't need to be teleported.

BIC: Flare shouted "Cyndaquil! Flamethrower!" He had stopped his Slugma and Torchic from teleporting, and had them in their pokéballs.

Cyndaquil's flames engulfed the remaining Zubats and KOd them all. Cyndaquil started to glow. It turned into a Quilava a few seconds later! "Coooooooooool!" said Flare. Then he remembered that Quilava belonged to the lab. "Awwww!"
He ran back to the other room, where Hydro's Venusaur had just KOd the last of the Seels with it's Razor Leaf.

Roy looked angry. "GO! Feraligatr! Charizard! Venusaur!"
The three fully-evolved pokémon appeared.
This was going to be the biggest battle yet.

Hydro told Venusaur "Use Frenzy Plant on Blastoise!" Venusaur's plant emited two great branches which wove around Blastoise, hitting it, and seeding it, draining it's energy. Two small shoots of water trickled out of Blastoise's canons, but then it fainted.
"A fluke!" shouted Roy, as he returned Blastoise.
"Charizard! Flame Wheel!"
A huge ring of flames hurtled towards Venusaur. "CRAP!" Hydro shouted. Venusaur took the hit, and took it badly. It didn't faint, but it wsa weak. Hydro sprayed it with some Burn Heal before returning it to to it's pokéball.
"Liz! Ami! You have to knock this bugger out with your water attacks!"
Flare shouted to everyone "All the stolen pokémon are safe by the way!"
Snowdrop looked at Flare in a we're kind of in the middle of the biggest battle of our lives look.
"Women" muttered Flare...

[Hana-san]

'Okay Muddy, use hydro pump!!' Liz and Ami shouted. A huge blast of water came shooting out at the other pokemon. Liz ran forward and kicked Roy in the face and Ami followed by punching him on the back of his head. Unfortunately, Liz flipped up ready to kick Roy again and he grabbed her foot, swung her round and threw her into a wall.

'Hey! You can't do that!!' Ami said, punching Roy so hard that he doubled back, clutching his face and stomach, 'Don't you dare hurt my sister again!!' Ami said kicking him in the stomach. Ami looked at Liz on the floor, unconsious, 'If you lay one finger on her again, you'll have me to answer to.'

Ami walked over to Liz, glancing at Roy every few seconds. Liz had blood running down the side of her face from where she had hit the wall and her hair was over her face so that Ami couldn't see her sister's face but Ami could tell that she had her eyes open. 'Liz, are you... okay?' ami said putting her arm round Liz.

'I've never been caught... before, that was the first time, never before, never.' Liz looked up, she had blood running down from her mouth and the top of her head, 'I woke up, when you were kicking him, thanks, Ami, thank you.'

'That's okay, but he's not going to forget this easily, imagin being a boy getting beaten up by a girl.' Ami chuckled.

Liz sighed and stood up, 'If you,' she said looking at Roy, 'If you want to mess with me you're going to get a surprise, if you catch me, I come back, hard!!' Liz ran at Ami and jumped up Ami held her arms up, ready for the move, Liz bounced off Ami's hands back flipping over, landing straight on Roy, knocking him out.

'And that's what you get for messing with the Mercury twins!' Liz and Ami said high fiving.

[Prof. Cinders]

OOC: Oops, soz guys! School and home life messing with my online stuff! Wait... Damn you Hannah, and your h/w doing skills!

BIC: Rachel leaped away from the professor, sending out all her pokemon at the same time. The balls burst open, each revealing the five pokemon Rachel prized above all others, accompanied by Sophierre who was, of course, already out. Blaze blasted most of the remaining zubats out of the sky, Dragon using dragonbreath on the rest. Beauty quickly stunned Seels everywhere, and the released pokemon helped out too. Sophierre, Rachel and Flare headed for the grunts, kicking, psychicing and flaming there way through. The grunts fell to the ground like flies to a strong spray, and Rachel teleported back to the prof., never to leave her side for long.

[PMJ]

Frankie turned around to Hydro. "That girl really likes the professor, doesn't she?"

Hydro turned round just in time to see Roy pull himself up from the ground. "Venusaur! Attack!" he croaked.

Flare and Hydro both jumped forward. Hydro sent out Torkoal and Flare sent out his Torchic and Slugma, and Quilava. All four pokémon used fire attacks, and Hydro turned to Tom. "SEND OUT BLAZIKEN!"
He also kept thinking Rachel, send Blaze and Flare over here, we need fire pokémon! Rachel, send Blaze and Flare over here, we need fire pokémon! over and over again, just in case Rachel happened to be reading his mind...

[Hana-san]

Liz was busy punching Roy again, using all of her strength. 'If you even try to pull one on me, I'll be one step ahead of you!!' She said smiling and kicking up his arse.

Ami was controlling the pokemon sending them to do attacks, 'Muddy, use Hydro Pump, Vappy, Ice Beam, Horsy, Bubble!!' She shouted about to tell Blasty to do an attack but then remembering that she didn't have her back yet.

'Ami, a little help please!!' Liz shouted at her sister.

Ami flipped over kicking Roy in the face, 'I thought you knocked him out.' She said looking at Liz briefly.

'I did, he woke up!!' Liz said backflipping to avoid a punch from Roy. Oh come on guys! she thought.

[Prof. Cinders]

Rachel sensed an outreach nearby, and sent Blaze and Flare to help the boys. Even non-psychics could be slightly telepathic in desparate situations. She lifted the professor telekinetically, placing her out of harm's way, then kicked past a few grunts to smash Roy in the mouth.

[Hana-san]

'Thanks!' Liz shouted behind her, she and Ami had ducked just in time to get out of the way of the grunts.

'So now we get rid of the pokemon and find ours!!' Ami shouted out to everyone.

'Okay then!! Muddy use Muddy Water!!' Liz shouted, 'Hey, wait, Ami, where's Blade?'

'He went, he said that he didn't want to upset you, so he left and went home.' Ami said, 'Vappy use Ice Beam!'

'Come on Rachel, do we have to take care of these pokemon by ourselves!!' Liz shouted at Rachel.

[PMJ]

As Flare and Blaze shot inernoes at Venusaur, Slugma, Torchic and Quilava kept sending Flamethrowers. Torkoal glowed red again and sent out a mighty Overheat. Venusaur cried out in pain, and fainted.

Hydro saw Roy return it, and then saw Snowdrop standing behind him. "What's she doing? She's gonna get herself killed!"

Snowdrop jumped up, and clung to Roy's hair. She kicked him in the back of his legs, then her Snorunt froze him as he was falling. Snowdrop jumped down, looking triumphant. "Come on! Let's find this Drake Co. boss!"

"No need!" A sleek looking woman with jet black hair and an ice white uniform came down some stairs at the opposite side of the room. "I am the Drake Co. Leader, and I'm going to beat you all!"

"Blaziken! Charizard! Go!" She let out two immense fire types, one with flying ability, and one with fighting ability. Hydro could just imagine Liz and Ami's faces lighting up behind him...

[Hana-san]

Liz and Ami stop kicking Roy and rushed forwards towards the lady, 'Hi, I'm Liz!' Liz said.

'And I'm Ami!' Ami said, she and Liz loved this routine of finishing each other's sentences, 'And we're...' Ami said ready for the last part.

'YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE!!!' they shouted together.

The lady didn't seem surprised to see two forteen year old girls ganging up on her. 'We are the gym leaders from Islack Town and if you want to battle, battle us.' Liz said smiling.

'Yeah so you'd better watch out!' Ami said smiling an identical smile to her sister.

'I don't think so.' The lady said, 'You see, I'm not weak like the rest of my company, I am RK the leader of Drake Co. so if I was you, I'd watch out' RK said keeping a straight face.

'Never mind the intro!' Liz shouted, 'Muddy use Muddy Water!'

'Vappy use Mist!!' Ami said and soon everything was shrouded in mist and is was the perfect battle field for Liz and Ami as Water Pokemon can sense heat.

[PMJ]

OOC: LOL! Liz and Ami: Prepare for trouble! And make it double! To protect the world from RK and Drake Co.! To unite all peoples within The Kyak Islands! (yadda yadda yadda) Liz! Ami! Team Islack blast off at the speed of lght! Surrender now or prepare to fight! VAPOREON! SWAMPERT! HORSEA! THAT'S RIGHT!

BIC:

RK laughed at the twins. "Charizard, Blaziken, shoot flamethrowers through the mist!"
Random flares came through the mist, narrowly missing Hydro and Flare where they were standing. Hydro bent down to Nidorina and Murkrow. "This is the perfect battlefield! Creep up behind Charizard and Blaziken in the mist and use Shadow Ball and Poison Sting!"

Hydro saw Murkrow's shadow swoop off in the mist, and Nidorina's silhouette scurrying away...

A moment later, Charizard let out a roar. It has been hit by poison sting. Hydro remembered that Nidorina's poison was verrry strong...when he tried to catch it, as a Nidoran F, it one-hit-KOd his Grovyle (then Treecko). Seconds later came another roar, as Charizard was hit with Shadow Ball. It was now on the floor, and Hydro sent out his injured Venusaur. "Venusaur! Body Slam Charizard! And Tropius! Use Stomp on it!"

Charizard let out a final groan, and fainted. RK withdrew it and sent out a Persian...

[Prof. Cinders]

'Sophierre! Get her!' Rachel pointed at RK, and her gardevoir rushed over there. She sent out a fury of hypnosis attacks at the leader of Drake Co., then summed up with psychic. Her pokemon were ignored, however, and Persian bit her sharply. Swirling round, Sophierre used a brief confusion, but the persian hung tight. Angered, she raised her other arm and sent a fireball into the opposer's face. 'Well done! A hidden power!' yelled Rachel, pleased her pokemon was doing so well.

Meanwhile, Rachel herself was having problems controlling the salvaged pokemon. The wouldn't do what they were told, even with strong persuasion (i.e. psychic waves of sleep-inducing energy). Blaze was attacking RK's Blaziken with a flurry of blaze kicks, each one from each Blaziken dodged and blocked. It was like watching a dance; each pokemon doing its best. 'Everyone! get your pokemon! they're out of control over here! no, put that down, it doesn't got there!' Rachel quickly swiped a twig out of the reach of a group of salvaged pokemon, that were trying to steal it from one another. Each of Rachel's pokemon were fighting individual opponents, each being beaten back slowly.

[PMJ]

OOC: Anyone remember Hazel? Frankie's partner in crime? They both worked for Prof. Cinders in my fanfic? No? Anyway, enter Hazel...

BIC: Hazel ran into the pokémon centre. "Professor!" she saw the sick professor, then she saw pokémon running wild around the room. She looked over at Rachel as if to say why didn't you send them back to the lab? and ran to the PC in the corner. Simone's Gardevoir and Torchic were the first two to be sent back to the lab, followed by Hydro's Mawile, Tom's Totodile, Lane's Rhydon and Golem and Liz and Ami's Blasty.
"There y'go!" Hazel said airily to Rachel."What's going on here? The TV said that there was a big battle, and I rang my parents, they work at the TV company, and they said that Drake Co. were behind it!"

[Hana-san]

Liz and Ami were busy fighting hand to hand combat with RK Liz kicking and Ami punching, while their pokemon, being Gym Leader's pokemon, were busy fighting along side Hydro's pokemon, shooting water Guns and Hydro Pumps at full blast.

Liz pointed towards Hazel and Ami ran off towards the pokemon centre. 'Did you transfer Blasty back to the lab?' Ami asked Hazel, not waiting for an answer she ran to the PC and got Blasty back from the lab, 'Now we're talking power!' Ami said and ran back to Liz sending out Blasty on the way, 'You know what to do don't you Blasty!' Ami said to the Blastoise, it nodded and went to help out the other pokemon and Ami went back to fighting RK.

[treynor33]

OOC: Talking to 4 different people at once....

BIC: 3 Drake co. grunts barged in. Tom ignored the Zubats and sent out Walrein and Pidgeotto to help Raichu defeat these grunts. The grunts sent out an Arcanine, a Graveler, and a Wartortle. "No sweat..." Tom muttered.

[Prof. Cinders]

Rachel glared at Hazel for a second, and then turned to Sophierre. I can't do everything at once, y'know, she said telepathically to the assistant, and then silently swore. Sophierre's attacks were, unbelievably, non-effective. 'What the-'

RK smiled, and turned to face the now partly bewildered Rachel. 'What? Thought you were the only special person in the world? Thought you, of all people, were the first experiment?' Rachel stood where she was, mouth open. How could she be the first? And what was she mixed with? Sure enough, RK was baddy enough to gloat.

'A few years before you were created, the scientist who worked on mixed cloning had just started his project in his free time at university. He was studying human clones under a Dr. Freeman, his Biological Sciences lecturer. He was the one who first came up with human-pokemon breeding, and inspired your creator with his own project - me.

'It started with embryos. Pokemon eggs were smuggled from nests, and embryos from the labs were taken for experimenting. Each of these turned out to be failures, and were disposed of. That's when they started using fully-grown humans and their own pokemon. Pods were manufactured to contain the two specimens, and a group of ten were used at first. I was the result of number 4 - all the rest died. All humans and pokemon used were killed by the experiment, apart from me. I am the result of your creator's wife and Blaziken, whom he loved dearly. I am what killed them, and therefore he quit university because of me, and created you. Your experiment was more primitive, and deafened your "father" permanently. You know he's dead now.' Rachel had sat down, stunned by this input of knowledge. Her eyes were full with tears, and several fell to the ground. Sophierre put her arm around her, trying her best to comfort her telepathically, but Rachel blocked her out of her mind.

'And I know you're psychic, and I know I'm fire. No need to pretend.' Rachel looked up with a look of hatred in her eyes, ready to murder. 'And I know I can do this.' Rachel raised her fist, ready to do the damage needed - and felt the heat on her stomach. 'And I know I could kill you with one blast.' Rachel closed her eyes, and prepared. She was flung back by the burst of fire emitted from RK's hands, and cried out in pain as she hit the remains of the pokemon centre. 'I am Rachel Kanakae, and I will control this pathetic group of islands!'

[PMJ]

"NO-ONE HURTS RACHEL PSYCHODIK AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!" bellowed Hydro, running towards RK. He grabbed Simone's sword as he ran past her. "YOU *****!" He ran up to RK, and she shot a load of flames ar him. He didn't care. He ran through the flames, feeling the searing pain running through every part of his body. He ran up to the evil woman and held up the sword. She sent out another wave of flame, and he lost his sight. He plunged the sword forward, into RK's body. He felt it pierce through her skin, then heard a squelch and a crunch as it went through bone and muscle. He was prepared to kill, or die for Rachel. The flames stopped, and he fell backwards. He could see the ceiling before passing out.

[Hana-san]

Liz and Ami ran forwards Ami stopping at Hydro and Liz kept running at RK. A load of flames were shot at Liz but she flipped over them. Liz was so angry that she would do anything but was not prepared to kill just yet. She pulled the sword out of RK and threw it to the floor, she watched as the wounds that Hydro had made leaked blood before hers eyes, 'It's just between you and me now.' Liz said.

'But Liz you'll get hurt!' Ami said.

'Don't inturupt little girl!' RK said, 'If she wants a fight, she'll get one!!' RK lunged forwards trying to hit Liz but missing as Liz jumped up and kicked RK in the face.

'I don't go down without a fight!' Liz shouted.

'Neither do I!!' RK shouted back. Liz ran forward and got a load of flames thrown at her, Liz screamed out with pain as she was hit.

[treynor33]

Tom left his pokemon to fight the grunts. He ran over to Hydro's body. He checked his pulse. It was still going. Meaning he was alive. But it seemed like he wont make it. Tom picked up Hydro. Memories flashed in Tom's head of Hydro. Tom didnt wan't it to end this way. He layed Hydro down. "Raichu! Thunderwave them all!" Tom commanded. Raichu concentrated. And shot out energy waves that parylyzed the enemy and their pokemon.

[PMJ]

Hazel ran into the building. She had seen Rachel land outside the pokémon center, and had ran to see what had caused it. She looked over to Tom and Hydro. "Oh, God, NO!" she saw Hydro, burnt and bleeding, coughing up blood, and his ears leaking the red stuff. She looked at Frankie. "Frankie! You okay?" she hugged him. "Hey, kids! Help me get Hydro out of here!" Snowdrop and Flare ran over, and the three of them carried Hydro out of the gym and took him to the pokémno center, where they lay him next to Rachel and the professor.

Meanwhile, Frankie ran up to RK. "YOU HEARTLESS COW!" he shouted at her, crying. He ordered Magneton to come over and he let Electrode out of it's pokéball. "Shock this evil woman!" Electrode and Magneton sent sparks through RK's body. Frankie glanced over and saw that Tom's Raichu had knocked out RK's Blaziken and Persian. RK's body shook with the electricity passing through it, and went limp.

Roy had come round and ran up behind them "RK!" Frankie left them to it. RK wasn't going to be up and running for a long time. He ran out of the building. "Lets get out of here. EVERYBODY! OUT!"
