Chapter 7: Rocket troubles

Battle Villa

This was a huge tournament ground with about four stadium there, red, blue, green and yellow coloured respectively Ash, and the others were all located in the blue one called the aqua stadium where the Intro tournament would take place..

Aqua stadium

About 1000 blue seats made up the arena, 2 battle fields on the black concrete surrounded by the blue seats in a circle.

Each field had a mechanism that could change the terrain to different types (snowy field, poison field, mountain field etc) each field was made to make battles more entertaining.

Backstage

Here in this gray coloured room, the main Pokemon  researcher professor Oak is discussing with the battle managers Scott and Bettie.

"So after I'll tell everyone about the Porystones, you two will announce the match ups" oak said boldly.

"This is my first time speaking to such a big crowd in person" Scott said timidly

"Don't worry Scott, we'll do it together!" Bettie took his hand and squeezed tight reassuring him.

"Aww to see such youth doing great things always warms my heart" the old man said while smiling.

Meanwhile

Amongst the crowd were 3 suspicious looking individual wearing long black coats and big hats.

One had long pink hair sticking out of her coat, while the other was a man with spiky blue hair and the last one looked like a midget wearing a face mask with 2 whiskers on each cheek.

"Damn it this stadium is also too crowded to be made our base" the woman said pissed.

"Well the boss did say we should find one close to the battle Villa" the man said lazily.

"Yep Nya, there's bound to be a bunker around here Nya" the midget said in a cat like way.

"Hehehe passio is about to get 10 times more evil when team rocket are rooted here" the Trio laughed as they continued searching.

Ash's group

In the waiting area were all the trainers who had been selected for the tournament including a bunch of Ash's friends from the past including...

"Ash! Gou! My flames are burning with the passion of a thousand volcanoes!!!" Kiawe the dark skinned trial captain of the alola region cried out.

"Good to see you again Kiawe!" Ash replied happily.

"This time if we battle don't hold anything back!" Gou spoke up as well.

Chloe and Sophocles looked at them in annoyance

"Those guys....." Chloe pouted.

"Tell me about...." Sophocles hissed as  he scratched his big belly.

"That's youth for yah" Lana added the petit girl was part of Kiawe's 3 man team.

On the other side were the gym leaders of the Kanto region.

First was a dark skinned man in a green t shirt and brown pants, he had brown spiky hair and his eyes looked like they were closed

"Oh I wish I could go say Hi to Ash but...." The man paused for a moment

"Who would gaze upon all these lovely female trainers!" The man shouted with hearts as his eyes.

The tomboy Misty who was with him sighed in annoyance

"How rude can you be Brock!" She yelled at him

"Indeed when you have two beauties

Right next to you as well" another girl said she had short dark blue hair held by a red ribbon, she also donned an orange kimono making her look like a shrine maiden.

"Come on Erika, I see you guys almost every week, but when will I ever get the chance to see Eliza again!!" The man spins around in a circle making both girls more pissed.

On the other side were the Unovan trainers prepping up.

The fashionista Eliza wore a pretty yellow dress that complicated her current blonde hair.

"Wow, I didn't expect to see so many people here" she says almost sarcastically.

" 'Sighhhhhhhh' the good thing is that we won't be taking on all of them just the ones we meet in bracket" the lazy gambler Grimsley said, wearing his iconic blue suit and yellow scary, his spiky blue hair standing on edge.

"I can't wait to show them the power of a dragon master!!!" The young prodigy Iris yelled as she did squats her wild dark purple hair going up and down as she did so.

And finally the other important trainers were Neil's team.

"So how long do we have to wait" the cap wearing traveler Leo said bored.

"I'm sure it won't be long now" Nick the artificial teenager said with Glee.

"yah just be patient" Neil added as he fiddled with a gadget.

Then all of a sudden a man passed by to alert the staff of something

"hey, be careful out here, I heard an explosion outside and people are saying a gang wearing black jumpsuits are responsible" the man whispers but these words unfortunately got to Leo.

Without a second to spare Leo bolted out of there, and Nick's curiosity made him follow suit.

"Hey guys...guys!!!" Neil turned around to see all his teammates had left him behind.

"PLEASE TRAINERS MOVE TO THE NORTH GATES AND BE READY TO BATTLE" the announcer said and Neil's heart sank.

The trainers made it to the center of the arena with numerous people watching them.

Professor Oak then announced how they'd be able to use the Sync stones in their poryphones to indicate when best to use a Sync move if possible.

Then the battle managers came out with a sorting machine and pressed it.

Neil hoped with all his heart that his team wasn't first

The square machine wrote in yellow letters the first teams starting.

Neil felt like screaming yes but he didn't want unnecessary attention.

Meanwhile

Abandoned power plant

The mystery Trio were breaking into an abandoned electrical plant near the 4 stadiums.

"I sure hope no one heard that explosion" the woman said scared.

"I'm sure people on the other side of the world heard that explosion" the man teased her.

"Eye on the prize guys Nya! We nyeed to check every nyook and cranny of this place Nya" the dwarf like man said with a cat like accent.

They Trio looked around and finally came out of the factory looking satisfied until....

"Hehehehe I had a feeling you Dullards would be here" the traveler Leo had confronted them.

"Who's this twerp?" The woman asked.

"Probably a toxic fan" the man replied

"Whoever he is Nya, he doesn't look friendly Nya!" The dwarf spoke up.

"Oi oi Leo what are you doing!" A young teen comes running after his teammate.

"Huh?! Nick!! You followed me" Leo shouts surprised.

"Well it doesn't matter anymore!" The trip shouts and takes off their disguises.

"Who are these guys?" Nick looks confused.

The trip then go on to speck their motto

🎼

" Prepare for trouble"

"And make it double"

"To protect the world from devastation!"

"To unite all people within our nation!"

"To denounce the evil of truth and love! "

"To extend our reach to the stars above!"

"Jessie" the woman says and poses

"And James" the man says and poses as well

"Team rocket blast off at the speed of light!"

"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"

The dwarf then jumps next to the duo talking revealing himself to be the cat Pokemon Meowth

"Meowww! That's right!"

🎼

"Freaking team rocket!" Leo hisses.

"That cat is talking?!!! What the hell?!!" Nick is literally losing his shit after seeing a talking Pokemon.

"We won't let you twerp interrupt with our plans!" Jessie yelled

"So you best be on your way to do dumb teenage stuff" James mocks them.

"Yah nya! you bunch of little twerps nyahahaha! The cat laughed.

"Tell me where Giovanni is!!!!" Leo shouts

"We'll be the ones barking orders twerp!" James countered him.

"The whereabouts of the Boss doesn't concern you" Jessie adds.

(Giovanni, what's Leo's connection to him) Nick wonders as he scratches his blonde hair.

"Then I'll beat it out of yah!! Infernape let's go" Leo sends out his Ace,

"Inferrrrrr! The proud fire monkey dances around.

"I'll help....." Nick tries to say but

"Stay out of this!" Leo aggressively turns him down.

"Hahahaha James leave this to me, wobbufet come out!" Jessie send out from a pokeball a big tall Blue slime creature.

It's eyes are closed and it's mouth is the shape of a "W" it's most visible feature is the black tail behind with 2 white eyeball like dots on it.

"Woooooobuuuufetttt!the creature oppens it's mouth and cries out.

"Infernape use mach punch!" Leo commands. "Inferrrrr" the monkey's hand glows white as it charges at great speeds towards the blue blob

"Counter wobbufet!" Jessie calmly says

"Woooooooo!" The blob turns red and takes the punch head on however....

"Buffetttttt!" "Naaaaapeee!" The blob uses it's own right hand to punch the monkey with double the power it received from the previous attack.

"No Infernape!" Leo is shocked see his Ace get knocked back so easily

"Get back up use fire spin!" Leo retaliates.

"Inferrrtnapeeeee!" The money then gets on it's head and starts spinning like it's break dancing and  shoots multiple rings of fire at the blob however.....

"Magic coat!" Jessie yelled and an orange veil covered wobbufet reflecting the fire rings back at Infernape but much stronger.

"Infernape dodge it!" Leo shouted.

"Innn ferrrrrr!" Dodging like 3 rings were the limit as the fourth one hit it's chest hard.

(That things is surprising strong, a Pokemon specifically used to counter both attacks and special attacks)"Leo I think you'll have to...." Nick wanted to give advice but was cut off.

"I said I'll handle it, Infernape mach punch!" Leo rushed in again with Infernape charging the blob.

"Don't you learn! Counter wobbufet!" Jessie said smiling being sure of her victory until.

'Grinn' the monkey smiles and grabs the glowing blob "wooo!" Before it could even react Leo changed attacks.

"Overheat!!!" Leo shouted and the ape exploded in a ball of orange flames damaging the blob and sending it up into the air.

"A faint?" Nick was surprised by his teammates strategy.

"Oh no wobbufet!" James shouted as Jessie was just panicking.

"This doesn't look good for us Nya!" Meowstic cried.

"Finish this with CLOSE COMBAT!" Leo ordered and his ape jumped into the air. "Innnn! Ferferferferferferfer!"

Sending out punches like a Gatling gun, the ape sent the blob crashing into Team Rocket.

'Booooooommmmm!' the dust cloud lifted the bad guys up into the air like...... A rocket

🎼

"Team Rocket's blasting off again!!!!"

The trio screamed as they vanished from sight in a twinkle.

"Damn it I went overboard! I didn't get any information on Giovanni!" Leo shouted after realizing.

"So you've got some beef with team Rocket's boss?" Nick asked curiously.

"Now's not the right time, let's go back before the tournament starts!" Leo returns Infernape and races back to the aqua stadium.

"Hey wait up!!!" Nick follows suit.

Underground bunker

This location is most likely an abandoned underground lab, about the size of a football field, with various doors leading to different rooms.

This place was just south of the stadiums and was where team Rocket landed

"Hahahaha! That foolish twerp!" Jessie laughed.

"He dropped us in the exact place we needed to be!" James danced around the corner.

"I'll contact the boss right away Nya!" Meowth said as he was typing something on a gray laptop.

Helicopter

A black and red helicopter was heading for the Passio region.

It carried two people a woman with Short purple hair wearing a suit and a very intimidating looking Man with brown gel'd hair and a black suit.

"Excellent job you 3" the man said while grinning evily.

He pulled out a vial of pink liquid labeled Mew.

"Soon...." The Boss of team Rocket Giovanni smiled!.

Team rocket?, Giovanni?, Mew's DNA?! What's going down in Passio?! Find out next time!
