8 Chapter 7

"Henry why are you dragging me to the train station," I quickly return Echo and Mercy to inside their pokeballs.

"There is no time Honey, Michio is in danger!" Henry pays for both tickets to Hulberry station and pushes me unto the train.

"What do mean Michio is in danger? No the better question is why you left Michio by himself in danger you idiot?!" I slap Henry's mask which just so happens to be frowning with two eyebrows lifted above the eye holes and a sweet drop on the left side.

"Um well that biker guy wanted the person who has that egg that lady had. You know the one that was handed to you." The mask shifts to a disappointed look.

"Oh and how did you know, and more importantly that biker know that I had the egg. By the way the egg hatched into Togepi." I lift my eyebrow at the thought of some stranger knowing that I have Togepi. I grip Togepi's pokeball and look at it.

"Um Honey I was told by Michio when biker guy tracked us down for your Togepi. That guy is holding Michio hostage at Turffield. That is why we are going to Hulberry station so that we can walk there." Henry stands up and grabs me when the train whistle blew. We ran out of the station and made our way to Turffield.

It took us an hour to get there. Then we found a tall man decked out in black leather cloths with a black helmet that has a red visor. He is surrounded by four others dressed in leather leaning against their motorcycles. One of them has Michio tied up in rope on the ground.

"Well took you long enough to get here Henry. Did you bring me that very important egg. I sure hope so because if you didn't I will kill this Michio. Unless of course you can beat me in a pokemon battle." The man lifts up a single pokeball twirling it on his index finger." Lets just say I'm itching for battle and so is my partner and hey for a bonus I will tell you the reason I want the egg. Oh you can call me Hazel the ripper. Since I do tend to make a mess when I kill for the second in command of Team Mafia."

"What do you mean they call you mean you kill people and who is Team Mafia?" Henry asks. I feel something tighten up inside when I see Hazel. He must be part of the assassin branch of Team Mafia and works for the second command of the main family of it. That means that he was trained personally by someone in the family. That also means that the main family wants Togepi for something horrible. Oh I am not giving up this baby for anyone especially not to Team Mafia!

"Oh so you know about us, Honey is it? I heard you mumbling under your breath. I also hear you have Togepi. So if you don't want to battle hand over Togepi or your friend here will end up like that woman who gave you the egg. On the end of my blade chains. Now choose battle for your friend and Togepi or give us Togepi and your friend is let go. If you choose the battle though I will tell you why the second of command wants that Togepi. Also to make it a bit easier for you I will battle with my weakest pokemon from my second team. Since I want a battle and not a massacre. You know what your friend can also battle me with you since my weakest is quite strong. My pokemon do love challenges!" Hazel stops twirling his pokeball and stares at me and Henry with anticipation coming off him," You better choose quickly I am not the most patient man."

"Henry will you tag battle with me against Hazel to save Michio. To make sure that Togepi does not end up in the wrong hands. To have answers for why Team Mafia want Togepi." I look down at the grass while holding onto Henry's sleeve.

Henry lifts up my face," Honey you are my best friend and I want answers too. I also want to help rescue Michio with you. So Honey yes let's beat this guy!"

Me, Henry and Hazel all release our chosen pokemon for this battle.

I release Echo onto the field," Echo you got this." Echo nods at my words then quickly whips her head around to face our opponent.

"I choose you Sobble!" Henry releases Sobble onto the battle field.

"Voltorb come on out to battle." Hazel flicks his pokeball to release Voltorb onto the field.

"You know what to make this even better I will limit myself to using four moves while you can use as many as you want." Hazel looks at the field where the battle will take place," Now Voltorb use Sonic Boom." Voltorb vibrates then releases a shock wave that caused Echo and Sobble to fly back a few feet.

"Sobble use Water Pulse on Voltorb!" Henry points his finger at Voltorb his mask changed to have a smirk and a raised eyebrow on it. Sobble's tears came together to form a circular blast on water that hit Voltorb.

"Echo use Quick Attack." Echo uses quick attack and slams her body onto Voltorb. Then proceeds to jump back on the other side of the field.

"You think that will hurt Voltorb well then Voltorb use Thunderbolt on Sobble and Echo!" Voltorb releases a flash of electric energy on the other pokemon. This move causes Echo to fall over paralyzed on the ground. Sobble barely holds off the paralyzing effect of Thunderbolt.

"Sobble come on buddy you got this use Bind." Sobble cries again and his tears start to flow around Voltorb and Bind surprisingly was effective on Voltorb. Voltorb shudders with rage at the tears binding it.

"Echo try to use Ember." Echo barely lifts her head up and tries to use Ember but because of where she is the Ember does not hit Voltorb.

"Voltorb use Explosion on Echo." Voltorb was harmed by the teary Bind before it could attack Echo. Voltorb was close to Echo and used Explosion. It caused Echo to fly through the air and land on the ground. Echo is covered with burn marks all over her body. She is barely awake trying to her best to fight off the need to faint.

"Sobble use Aqua Jet." Sobble enraged cries angery tears that became Aqua Jet on Voltorb. It causes Voltorb to be pushed back half way across the field. When I look again Voltorb is unconscious.

I quickly return Echo to allow her to heal in her pokeball. Henry does the same thing by returning his Sobble. We stand side by side when Hazel approach's us from across the field with his hands in his jacket pockets.

"Well I guess you won. Oh well there is always next time. Voltorb return you did great out there. A promise is a promise and I am a man of my word. The reason why your Togepi is of such great interest to Team Mafia is because it is currently the only successful experiment. This Togepi when it was an egg was used to see if it is possible to give pokemon another typing than it would naturally have. Also it was pumped full of the psychic energy by the most powerful psychics that could be found. It should have given Togepi a psychic typing that it would keep when it evolves. It should have three typing's when it evolves. The reason why this was done is to see if it is possible for pokemon to have three typing's instead of the usual two. Along with having this pokemon at a higher level than it should naturally when it hatches." Hazel waves his hand and jumps onto a motercycle," Well I guess this is goodbye but be warned I will get that Togepi eventually. Also here you can have your friend back." Michio is thrown in front of us while the motorcyclists leave.
