Chapter 14: Pokemon Battle

As more and more team rocket members emerged from the depths of the woods, the air began to tense and stifle.

Before, the Jennies did not even bother to bring out their pokemon. They had just directly beat up those Agents and Pokemon with brutal methods, using bats and pipes like common thugs.

After all, a number of them were strong Official Pokemon Trainers, their physical bodies and capabilities were no worse than many pokemon. With so many of them dealing with two agents there was no need to bring out their pokemon at all.

However, now, with Team Rocket members coming out in force, the situation became much more serious. Each Jenny brought out their full force to bear, and each enemy took the same time to bring out their own forces.

There were many Tengela, Paras and Pidgeys, as well as Squirtles, Bulbasaurs, and Charmanders, from those who had tried at being normal Trainers. Among them were a fair number of evolved pokemon forms as well.

More than anything though, there were a lot of growlithes, and many of them were evolved Arcanines as well. Well over half of the pokemon there were one of the two.

All of the officer Jennies amounted to around 160-180 people. Most of them might not be considered full fledged Pokemon Trainers, but most were rather close to that bar, whereas a few of the Older Jennies had long surpassed that bar.

On average, you could say each Jenny had about 5 Pokemon.

Considering this, this one crowd of Officer Jennies, who had haphazardly come here from the surrounding counties, could be considered an Army, 1000 strong.

Even if it were a group of rabble, 1000 strong was not a strength that one could sneeze at. Yet, most all of these women here were trained police officers, experienced in combat. Many of them, familiar with fights of life and death, veterans.

Given not all of them could bring out the all of their pokemon at once, the actual standing force was closer to half that number at 500, but considering that 500 more pokemon could serve as reserve forces, it was still appropriate to say it is 1000 strong.

As the obvious leader of this group, Auntie Connie was clearly the strongest. The epitome of an Officer Jenny.

She stood at the front of them all with all six of her Arcanines out simulataneously. Each of them were domineering and fierce, their growls rumbled like thunder through the air, putting fear into the hearts of Team Rocket.

However, those rumbling growls did not go unanswered. Among the uncountable Horde of Team Rocket Grunts, the Elite Agents loomed.

A Skamory, a Muk, and a Steelix stood amongst the crowd, giving off an aura of oppression no less than Connie's Arcanines. Among the crowd one could see a number of Golbat and Rhydons, with auras approaching the same level.

Two Elites stood from the crowd.

"I am Team Rocket's Attila!"

"And I, Hun!!"

"We can accept the surrender of the people of your Jenny clan, we want no quarrel with your people. As for the others, they all must stay. They have started this blood feud with the death of our grunts, only their extermination can end this."

Aunt Connie spoke out, "Our Jenny Clan has stood for Maintaining Peace and Justice in the many regions for countless years! Your upstart Team Rocket cannot face up to us!

Maybe our Kanto Region branch cannot win in an all out battle, but even if we can't, how would the people rest at ease if we did not stand up for them! We will fight you wherever you appear, and whatever wrongdoings you try to make, we will always be there to stop you!

Even if we cannot win here today, our clan will still track you down, and they and the common people of the land will wash you from the face of this world!"

Attila just laughed and smiled, "Well, I was only Joking anyways. After all, your people are always like this. But then, this will be the first time I had the pleasure to kill so many of your clan at once."

"Hmph, brat, let's see first if your people have the ability. No one can lay hands on my daughters and nieces without paying a price. Watch as I kill you and all your elites here myself, I'd love to see Giovanni cry when he finally arrives to see his forces in pieces."

As she spoke, her Arcanines swept out, they ignored the strong individuals and directly jumped into the crowds of weaklings. Sweeping them away with tooth, claw, and fire. The Team Rocket Members, caught off guard from the sudden and vicious attack, took a lot of damage.

The other evolved pokemon of the Jenny Clan simultaneously launched attacks against the elite pokemon, trying to inflict status effects and push them towards a wall made of pokemon using defensive moves. The pokemon of the defensive wall stood stalwart in front of them and used defensive moves like Cotton Guard, protect, iron curl, and iron defense.

The result was Team Rocket's frontlines instantly collapsing under their combined and organized response, and the death of many of their weaker members in the back-lines.

However, such an advantage was granted only due to the trained and practiced measures of the Jennies. The difference between the combat force of veterans and the cannon fodder grunts of Team Rocket. This had only resulted in damage to the population of the grunts however, at first contact the elites of Team Rocket were held up for but a minute before quickly pressing back their weaker opponents, coming forward for a counter attack.

By the time those elites arrived to the front lines, most of those evolved pokemon had already fallen back without any significant loss. They formed together into neat and orderly lines together with the weaker pokemon, defending as one and attacking as one as the enemy came forward in waves.

Occasionally, a Jenny would set fire to the surrounding forest Team Rocket lurked in. The fires would each time be quickly suppressed but one could hear the anguished screams of those unlucky grunts who could not escape the flames. The rockets certainly attempted to set flame to the hospital on occasion to put pressure on their side, but each time they were intercepted.

Team Rocket did not have as many pokemon of the fire or water type in comparison to the Jenny Army. They simply could not compete in terms of indirect attacks.

Grey fought together with Machop on the frontline, dashing between the different skirmishes.

------

As my index finger softly poked into a particular Team Rocket girl's neck, she shrieked in surprise from my appearance from nowhere. As my hand touched her throat I was for a moment distracted by her beauty, I thought 'how smooth, how delicate, how soft, what a shame' and my finger gouged out a small hole, she bled to death in an instant, and I moved on to the next one.

It's kind of crazy how fast a situation can shift from 'we need to get the fuck out of here while we can' -to- 'well, fuck it, we can't get out of here, so let's kill fuckers' but well, now instead of trying to save people, we are just trying to kill them and keep them out of the hospital now.

With the chaos on these frontlines, it was not difficult to launch sneak attacks.

Well, to call them sneak attacks may not be accurate. Because the battlefield was chaotic, generally everyone had their hands full. Of course, they will try to keep an eye out to spot any threats, but generally that threat will come from the pokemon and not from people.

I took the opportune moments when a Trainer's pokemon were caught up in battle further away from them, and got at them like a fox stealing into a chicken coop. A quick kill and a quick escape, it is extremely efficient to simply stab into their head or neck. Even if they aren't instantly dead they are crippled bad enough to where they can't do anything.

I had Machop collaborate with me, pulling the pokemon further away when necessary. Machop also got some easy victories since the pokemon would suffer a crippling energy backlash when their trainer died.

Machop would play defensively and evasively as it baited the enemy, then, while the pokemon suffered from the backlash, it wouldn't be able to resist the beatdown from Machop.

If one could clearly see the Mental Energy in the air, they would see Machop had gathered large amounts from each of those he had defeated and even more from those he had killed in this short time. Machop grew faster and stronger as time went on.

As time moved on though they began to be more cautious. The battles grew closer together and they formed solid lines to hold us back. In the end, I could no longer continue launching the sneak attack strategy.

In the end, I could at best throw out psychic blades at the opposing lines or punch a enemy pokemon trying to break the line back into the ground, meanwhile I just had Machop fight with the other pokemon. Overall, it became a bit boring and repetitive, although the feeling of punching those pokemon full force was fun there were hardly any openings to make a kill.

However as the battle dragged on, one could hear and feel enormous shockwaves and pressure, emanating from the high level skirmishes nearby.

------

"Max, Flamethrower! Tituss, Bite! Rina, Dodge that! Hodge, Gina, Cassie! They are all weakling! Why are you taking so long! Kill them already! You don't need me to tell you what to do!"

Connie's six Arcanine dominated the battlefield, lording over all the other pokemon present.

The Arcanine fights with the enemy Muk, Steelix, and Skamory let off intense shockwaves. People and pokemon scattered wherever they passed, and some of the weakest trainers directly passed out as the excessive energy passed through them, foaming at the mouth.

Their comrades could only sigh at the sight of this, these weak trainers would only become liabilities on this level of battlefield. They could only choose to leave them there to their inevitable fate or to grab them, exposing themselves in the process, in attempt to bring them to the back-lines.

The battle between the latter three Arcanine, who fought against multiple weaker foes, did not emanate nearly as much energy. Though, that did not mean in any way that it was any less intense.

Each Arcanine was simultaneously fighting 10 or more foes. Occasionally, one would be sent flying out like a cannonball. Although those pokemon might be weak compared to Connie's Arcanine, they were still near the level of Elite Four pokemon. Any people or pokemon in the path of those who were sent flying out were instantly turned into blood mist on impact.

For those knocked out by the pressure, many of the Team Rocket members did not mind leaving their fellow members to their death. The average Jenny also did not bother to attack an incapacitated enemy, as they were trained as officers who upheld justice.

However, no Jenny left behind! Every one of the younger Jennies who fell from the pressure was swiftly brought back to the hospital to safety. These actions helped keep morale up on their side, but also resulted in a lot of extra injuries in thanks for their efforts.

------

A few counties away, in the Kanto Region.

"I could have sworn the Ranch was somewhere around here... could I have been mistaken? It must be nearby, but where??"

A young man in black clothing stands atop a mountain, his hand acting like the visor, he squints his eyes as if he is trying to find something and looks about. His messy spiky black hair and the long dark scar on his face would leave a deep impression on any who saw it.

"Char~ Char! Char~ Char! Char~ Char!"

'Ah, that new chamander ringtone for the poke-gear was really worth getting.'

He answered it promptly, "Satoshi!! Where are you!?! Don't tell me you got lost again!! The nurses from that hospital are still on the other line! They are in a really bad spot, it's basically a war zone down there!!" The voice roared out.

Satoshi took a moment to recover from getting screamed at in the ear, rubbing his ear lightly.

"Ah~ Jessie, you know I'm bad with directions. C'mon~ you should be able to tell me which way to go easy, right?"

"Tcht, I know your habits. That's why I sent Meowth out ahead of you. Just hurry up and head over there, you know he won't be able to defeat Giovanni alone."

Satoshi's face lost it's smile and became serious, "I know, I will hurry over there as fast as I can. Too many lives have been lost thus far on account of Team Rocket, they have gone too far too many times. At the least, this time, we must force them into complete remission once again."

"Right~ well, I'm sure it will really be Pikachu doing all the work as usual. Just like I'm the one always doing the work at HQ nowadays, sigh~ Good luck out there! Make Team Rocket Blast Off at least one more time!"

He smiled again, "Right, you take care too Jessie. I'm off!"

He shut the poke-gear and cut the connection.

He smiled again brightly, "Come on Pikachu, let's go!!" He shouted.

"Pikaaa!!"

He took a step forward and a form of blue energy swirled through his eyes and then appeared to radiate from his entire body. With a minute movement, he flew off the nearby mountain cliff-face into the sky.

A sound akin to a thousand strikes of thunder rang out, and Pikachu appeared in the sky besides him. Rainbow colored lightning crackled and sparked around it as it ran on the wind as though it were solid ground. The wind beneath its feet seemed to distort from intense electromagnetic force, it seemed to be using a technique similar to the legendary pokemon Raikou.

"Hopefully we can still make it in time."


Chapter 15: Buying Time

Dusk came as the battle raged on. The bodies of Team Rocket Members littered the landscape, together with the bodies of ladies surnamed Jenny. As the fight became more intense, no one had the time or ability to pull away those bodies from the battlefield.

As the light became more scarce, an intense pressure befell everyone present.

"So, this is where you were all playing. To think it took so long for me to wipe out all the Ranches in this area and catch up with you all. In fact, I'm surprised this hasn't been wrapped up yet, Attila and Hun must've been negligent in their duties, but then, I would never have expected that all these officers would show up here against their orders." He said with a smile.

As everyone had long anticipated, the Boss of Team Rocket had finally arrived. With the rumored power of a Pokemon Master, not a single person would even be able to escape if he wanted them dead. His arrival had more or less signified the end of this battle.

"Well, you are all nothing but ants to me. Team Rocket has transcended the old limits of this world, Pokemon Master was once but an empty title, but now it holds true meaning.

All beneath the Realm of Masters are nothing. To a master, there is no limit. Since I have now achieved the Mastery Realm, nothing can stand in Team Rocket's way. We will rule this world, just as we rule many others."

'Quite the monolog'

Auntie Connie still snorted arrogantly.

"And just how are you going to do that, with the Pokemon Association against you? You intend to fight against him with just you? The Alliance Leader is not someone that you could simply contend against.

This so called army of yours will be of no help, the only thing you can use it for is bullying us here in this small place. There are plenty in this world at the Master level now, how do you think you are so special?"

"Tell Him Auntie Connie!"

"Yeah, go to hell Giovanni!"

"Hahahah, such a rowdy lot. It seems I'm unpopular, not surprising given the circumstances. You have to understand, someone must take responsibility for the death of my subordinates.

Well, I understand you all are here because of your jobs. Understand that I am here for a similar responsibility. I simply must kill all the people of these ranches, other people must understand not to stand in my way. Their people took the lives of four of my own, thus I must take the lives of ALL of their people."

The Jennies just mocked him.

"Well, fuck, I killed a lot more than four of your Team Rocket bitches today. Guess your gonna have to kill me too."

"Right, I'm not even a cop anymore. From today on, if I see any Team Rocket members, they are dead. Better come and try to kill me too if you don't like it."

"Tcht, this bitch Giovanni, who does he think he is? We risk our lives every day, does he think we fear death?"

"ENOUGH!"

A suffocating pressure burst out, and the crowd fell silent.

"Move out of the way, or hand over those responsible for the deaths. You have twenty minutes to do so, or I shall simply kill my way through you. Take your time to discuss and decide."

Discussions burst out amongst the crowd after the pressure lifted. The noise from afar was distorted, it was indeterminable what was being said. The conversations seemed varied, chaotic, almost panicked.

The refugees in the hospital grew anxious seeing the Jennies actually discussing with one another, would they really be handed over? Would they be put to death in the end? Although they had long despaired over this situation, they still felt unwilling, and some forgot their warm feelings about these selfless women who came to rescue them.

'Are we being abandoned? But they already fought for so long, are they just going to give up now? How could they just give us up like this?'

However, Grey was among the crowd of Jennies, and could overhear these discussions easily.

Not a single Jenny had a thought of turning over a single person, every one of them talked of how they would fight to the death. Of battle strategies, readiness, status, they gathered reports and re-organized themselves to prepare for another round of battle, however futile it might be. They spoke frantically in some of the discussions, it was a dire situation after all, but none wavered in their convictions.

However, one thought pervaded the discussions, 'Why is Giovanni giving us more time?' It was as though Giovanni himself was delaying the time of our deaths.

The man had took a ridiculous amount of time to wipe out every single Ranch before coming here, despite likely knowing a large battle was going on here.

More than likely, he knew what was happening from the onset, and could have come over to end it at any moment, but he didn't. He let his underlings take unnecessary risks and even die in large numbers.

'Why?'

It would only benefit themselves if he were to give them so much time. It would just give the Association time to send one the Masters to oppose him.

"Nahhahahh, 15 minutes!! You bitch cops get 5 minutes of life left~ then the Boss is gonna kill you~"

"These cop bitches actually killed my partner, the Boss is gonna make sure you pay for this."

"God I hate cops, I hate the police, fuck the police!! FUCK THE GODDAMNED POLICE!!!"

"Yeah, these female cops are pretty. Maybe we should really do just that."

"Slap" a female agent hit that fool, her eyes cold like ice.

"You idiot, do you really think there are no women in our Team Rocket! How dare you even think of doing such thing. You fucking disgust me, get out of here before I kill you."

The Team Rocket Members became agitated as Giovanni's time limit encroached.

The discussions and the declaration of Giovanni made Grey think the matter over again. If he confessed to the killing of those four grunts, perhaps he could divert some of this anger towards himself.

If they killed him, he could simply come back to life anyways. He knew that Team Rocket would insist on killing everyone regardless, but he could at least buy some more time for someone strong enough to show up. If both sides were trying to buy time, it might actually be a rather simple matter to divert attention to himself, since the opposition might even willingly let him put on a show to buy time.

If he could buy a bit more time for the Association's Master to arrive, there would at least be a chance for these people to survive. If Giovanni became impatient and thought they wouldn't show, everyone here would likely be massacred and he would just dust off his ass and swagger off.

I walked through the crowd of Jennies to where Auntie Connie stood at the front with her Arcanines, facing off towards Giovanni.

"Hey, Giovanni! I was the one who killed those four Grunts on the bus, the last one was so desperate he even used a suicide bomb on me. But he still couldn't even do it right! Your company is full of incompetents."

Giovanni actually stopped and looked over at me after I said this. His eyebrow arched in amusement.

"Oh? So you are the fellow who grabbed my subordinate and forced him out of the Bus? But, from what I understand, the one who did so was still in contact with my man when the bomb exploded.

Hahah, even a Pokemon Master would be hard pressed to withstand such a blast point-blank. Yet, here you are, claiming you did just that! What a joke."

I smiled and shrugged it off, I was telling the truth after all, I just had to convince him it was true.

"I have some special methods that would let me do so. Your Team Rocket is always looking for new cutting edge technology and techniques, right? What do you say you let this go and maybe I can tell you how I did it."

Giovanni stopped and pondered over it for a moment. Grey had shrunk significantly due to blows and energy exhaustion during the battle, he looked no older than a 10 year old child.

"Hmph, another child looking to get in the way, did you know our world always makes ones such as yourself appear on purpose? No matter, if you truly have such a method, Team Rocket could let go of this grudge in exchange for it. We work for the sake of business and stand for the progress of all humanity after all.

Well, first of all, we would need to see if you truly have such a strength. From what I can see, you have not even reached the standard of a Pokemon Trainer. Perhaps you are a psychic or Martial Artist who recently stepped onto the path of Pokemon Training?"

"You could say I am both, but I am more powerful with psychic attacks right now."

Giovanni shrugged, "Well, all this talking will get us nowhere. You are not even an actual Trainer yet, but considering this ability you claim to hold, it would still be fair to have one of my Team Rocket Agents to fight you.

I nodded, "Yeah, that is fine. Would it be acceptable for me to fight together with my Pokemon then?"

He laughed, "More confident in yourself than your Pokemon? Sure, sure. It will be a one on one though. Once your pokemon run out, you are free to fight against the pokemon yourself. Just understand that it will be a fight for your survival."

He turned about and yelled to his subordinate,

"Agent Ubung, step forward and teach this boy a lesson!"

A large and heavily muscled man stepped forward. "Hahah, with pleasure." The man said, his deep German accent held a cocky and domineering tone.

'Well, I oughta smack that cocky tone out of him. Eh, gotta let Machop take a shot at it first.'

"Go, Machop!"

Machop, who stood by my side, ran forward into the clearing between the two armies.

The large 'German' man chortled and threw a pokeball while saying nothing.

[Team Rocket Grunt Ubung sent out Magicarp!]

I almost fell on my ass in surprise, are you fucking kidding me!

What followed was Machop beating down three Magicarps easily.

"Hu~ a formidable opponent." The man said in a serious tone.

'This... is this guy fucking serious?'

Looking over at Giovanni I could see the embarrassment written all over his face.

It is worth noting that these Magicarps were not nearly as weak as normal Magicarps. Each of them could even miraculously flop about in a way where they could fight somewhat, it was somewhat astounding! In fact, they were relatively strong, with each successive Magicarp stronger than the last.

But still... they were Magicarps. Machop could easily smack them around a bit and they would pass out eventually. It was still a very time consuming process though, as the Magicarps flipped about frantically, dodging some of the attacks in a very annoying way and absorbing the shock from the fighting attacks relatively well.

It was obvious Giovanni chose this guy because he wanted to waste as much time as possible, but still... even letting this guy into team rocket. Is Giovanni really this shameless?

The man seemed upset. "Graahh! You defeated all my Magicarp! How could you!! This... I thought they would be enough to deal with your weak little Machop, it is more tenacious than I thought! Fine, I will take this more seriously. Go, Gyarados!"
