Pokémon Special Conquest

RBG Arc Ch.25: Rocket Hideout pt.2

Deep underground Red and Lady Ninja travel deeper into the Rocket Base riding an elevator to the deepest level. After a moment it stops and the doors open leading into a long dark hallway that the pair immediately start rushing down as the doors quickly close. After a moment Lady Ninja immediately stops before holding her hand out towards Red stopping him.

            "What's wrong?" Red asks curiously.

            "There's a trap."

Two figures leap down from the ceiling and land in front of the two hiding in the shadows of the hallway. "I'm surprised, you're not all talk Lady Ninja." A woman says seriously.

            "Of course, I'm not slouch, I'm a legitimate Ninja." She says seriously pulling out a Poke'ball.

            "Well no we know not to hold back at all." A man says seriously.

The pair toss out a pair of Poke'balls as a long purple snake-like Pokémon with a large hood below its head with a pattern on its hood popping out of one charging towards Red. Above Lady Ninja a purple Pokémon with two spherical heads of different sizes, connected to one another and floating into the air as poisonous gas starts emitting from crater like holes in its heads.

            "Arbok, the Cobra Pokémon, This Pokémon's known for its incredible strength and deadly constrictions being strong enough to crush a steel drum. Once it's wrapped around something it will almost never let go." Red's Poke'dex says scanning the creeping Arbok as it gets closer.

Lady Ninja pulls out a Poke'dex scanning the Pokémon floating over her as it draws closer. "Weezing, the Poison Gas Pokémon, This Pokémon grows by feeding off gases released from trash and garbage it is drawn to the smell of these gases and mixes them inside of its body. These gases become emitted as toxically noxious gas that seeps from its body."

            "Now Weezing Poison Gas!" The man yells out ordering his Weezing as it floats to the middle of the room.

Weezing emits a thick cloud from its body that begins to engulf the area, almost immediately Lady Ninja pulls a small mask over her face. The gas envelopes Red as he struggles to stand inside of it his eyes burning as he struggles to keep them open as he covers his face in a vain attempt to not breathe in the gas.

            "If you have a Fire Type I recommend you use it now to burn this gas away before it kills you!" Lady Ninja yells out seriously.

Red reaches for his Poke'balls tossing it out with Charmeleon emerging and unleashing a torrent of flames to burn away the gas. "Thank you Charmeleon."

            "Now Arbok, Thunder Fang!" Arbok charges in aimed towards Charmeleon with its jaw electrified.

Arbok chomps down on Charmeleon shooting electricity throughout its body as it roars out in pain. Seeing an opportunity Arbok begins wrapping itself around Charmeleon angling it's head just in front of Charmeleon's face.

            "Now Arbok, Gunk Shot!" Arbok gathers up a massive amount of ooze inside of its mouth before shooting it out at Charmeleon before quickly leaping off as Charmeleon falls to the ground. "My Arbok's poison is quite potent, it's  only a matter of time before your Charmeleon falls."

            "These two are just stalling us, we have to get past them no matter what if you want your Badges back." She pulls out a Poke'ball, tossing it out towards the middle of the hallway. "When facing Poison Pokémon, it's best to use Poison Pokémon."

A green quadruped Pokémon with a large plant on its back pops out as a series of vines erupt from its back.

            "Ivysaur, the Seed Pokémon; The bulb on its back draws nutrients from its body and it's weight causes the Pokémon to lose the ability to stand on its hind legs as they grow stronger to support the weight." Red's Poke'dex says as it scans the Pokémon.

            "Now Ivysaur, Vine Whip!" Ivysaur releases a series of vines that lash out at everything around it smacking Arbok and Weezing back as the two Pokémon yell out in pain. "Now for the finishing blow, Jigglypuff Hyper Voice!"

She tosses out another Poke'ball with Jigglypuff popping out and landing on the ground. With Ivysaur holding the two back with its vines Jigglypuff lets out a loud screech that echoes across the hallway.

Arbok and Weezing recoil in pain before the pair return them to their Poke'balls and fade away into the darkness of the hallway. "This was quite the experience, you're as strong as we were warned." The man says seriously.

            "And the boy, you are disappointing, we expected quite more out of you." The woman says as they fade away.

Red and Lady Ninja stand around as she returns her Pokémon to their Poke'balls and starts walking down the hall. "Well aren't you coming?"

            "Yeah," Red says disappointedly.

            "You shouldn't let it get to you ninja tactics are to quickly overwhelm a foe, and well you, of course, were overwhelmed." She says trying to cheer him up.

The pair makes their way to the end of the hallway opening up the door and revealing a large luxurious room with a large couch covering the back wall. In front of the couch, a large table sits with a pair of two badges sitting on the table as Lady Ninja approaches and picks them up.

            "Okay, it doesn't seem like a trap." She says seriously handing them to Red. "So do you want your Badges back?"

Red looks on them seriously clenching his fist. "I don't know, if the Rocket Kingdom is after then and I'm not able to get stronger then they would...."

            "Look they had them in their possession, and for some reason they left them behind, they'll come back for them eventually and all we can do is just try to defend them, and I can't do everything myself. I'm waging my own war against them and it would be too dangerous for me to hold onto them myself, that's what today proved to me."

            "Okay." Red grabs his Badges and stares at them. "I'll get stronger much stronger than I am now."

            "Good, because I may have need of you in the future." She says as she walks off pulling something out of her bag. "If you wanna get stronger and keep looking for the Generals, then there's one in town."

            "Wait before you go. You have a Poke'dex and an Ivysaur, Bulbasaur evolves into Ivysaur right? so...."

            "Ivysaur has been with me since I was a child, and this Poke'dex is something I got from someone who died."

            "Died!?"

            "Yeah, a girl from Pallet Town, she gave it to me before she died and part of my reason for fighting them is to avenge her." She tosses a sphere onto the ground with a thick black fog erupting around them. "Hopefully, you will be an ally in the upcoming fight, so don't do anything to get yourself killed."

The smoke clears leaving Red in the room alone as he looks around turning to his Badges before clenching his fist. "I will become stronger, I will become the strongest there is and protect everyone."

He leaves the room and in the distant corner, a small hidden camera records him as he rushes off. "Good, overcome this and you'll become exactly what I need. Become a symbol that can unite them all."
