Bab 53: Hospital fee's incoming
The morning sun shone through the semi-closed curtains and shun on half of Rex's face which served to wake him up. Last night was a busy night and he needed so good rest, when he looked at the time, he was surprised to see that it was already 12 in the afternoon. He quickly got up and got dressed before making his way down and headed towards a restaurant next to the hotel that gave out breakfast.
He found himself a seat and ordered himself a latte before oping his phone to read the news. He wasn't surprised when he saw the headlines.
[massive explosion reported in a neighbourhood in Virmilion city: The reports say that it happened between 9-10 at night. There has also been news that a body has been found but it has been burnt too severely to be recognisable. All that can be made out was that it was a female. Police are investigating since there seem to be signs of foul play.]
Rex looked at the article and laughed. It seemed that the police were not completely incompetent after all. As of now, team rocket should have caught wind of what has happened. It wouldn't matter too much; I would just need to be more careful to not leave traces behind when moving between cities.
Rex 'system when in a city or anywhere near people, hack all cameras and blur my figure or directly shut them off, delete all digital tracks that maybe lead to discovering my location,' he said after a little thought.
He was sure that Giovanni had Mewtwo ready by now and he was not confident enough to take on such a monster. Sure, it was not awake in a true sense, so it only had raw power but no experience. But it was still something that he couldn't take on currently. Not to mention that his main ace had a disadvantage against it.
He wouldn't take it on until Machoke evolved into Machamp, by then there wouldn't be many Pokémon that aren't legendary who can take him on in a fight. Shaking away the thoughts that spun in his head, he finished his latte and headed towards the clothing store to pick up his ordered suits.
He was eager to put them on. He got on his motorbike that he left beside the hotel in the parking space provided and sped towards the clothing store. It didn't take long, and he soon walked out with a few suits hung over his shoulder. He made his way back to the hotel and changed into a dark grey three-piece suit with a black dress shirt and a black tie.
He really did love the look. He put on his black gloves and headed out under the surprised looks of the surrounding people. It was kind of counterproductive since he was trying to hide, but team rocket evidently used cameras and other technology to track his movements. So as long as he stops them in this aspect, he will have an easier time. If they make contact again, he is confident in killing everyone that's not Giovanni, granted, Giovanni with Mewtwo, if he doesn't bring it along then he can take on Team rocket with some semblance of confidence.
He got on his bike again and rode towards the Gym where he would be having his 3rd gym battle. He arrived and parked his bike off to the side before strolling in calmly. It had a typical gym look, clean polished white floors, sliding doors, stairs that led to the second floor where the guests could spectate and naturally, the battlefield that took a big chunk of the ground floor.
He walked towards the reception desk where a gorilla looking man was seated typing dumbly on a keyboard. The man looked up and was monetarily stunned when he saw Rex and his attire before grinning.
Receptionist "are you here to watch or here to fight the gym?" he asked.
Rex "Battle"
Receptionist "One moment." The man picked up a phone and dialled a number.
Receptionist "Boss more fresh meat on the chopping board," he said while eyeing Rex with a grin. Rex smiled back while hearing a laugh coming from the other end of the phone. Soon the receptionist hung up and looked at Rex before directing him towards the battlefield.
Receptionist "Lt. Surge will be here shortly, I suggest you give up, he's been on a roll lately, you don't seem strong at all better save your Pokémon the harm," he said with a grin before returning to the desk.
Rex 'it seems that apart from Lt. Surge I'll have to break another's legs. Such a hassle,' he thought with a sigh, but the vicious grin on his face revealed his actual thoughts.
A man soon walked in with spikey yellow hair, a military uniform, a dog tag on his neck and an arrogant attitude plastered on his face. The uniform was what annoyed Rex the most, as a former soldier and commander he knew just how sacred and respected a uniform was, so for him to be tarnishing not only the unform but also what it stands for he couldn't forgive the man before him.
Lt. Surge "Well-well, more fres-"
Rex "Cut the shit you pompous trash get to it," he cut Lt. Surge off before he could continue his stupid trash talk. Lt. Surge was shocked since no one had treated him like this before. He was enraged but smiled when he thought about disabling Rex's Pokémon for life as payback.
Lt. Surge "This will be a one-on-one fight, no substitutions, the winner is decided when one Pokémon faints or is unable to battle," he smiled at the last part of the sentence. Rex didn't bother to say anything and immediately threw out Onix's Pokeball. A massive rock snake came out towering at 15 meters looking down at Surge before roaring.
