[PKMN OPEN] The Pokémon Trainer Academy (T) [Best Veteran 4Q '11]

Mark was passed out for a good amount of time. Though he eventually slowly regained his consciousness. The Paralysis still took its toll in both of their bodies. Mark panted and panted, sweating from everything that happened. Commodore was stolen... but no way was he gone! Mark had to get him back... those Rocket Grunts were still on the run! He had to do something.

Corphish quickly woke Snype up. The light in his eyes came back showing he was awake. Snype immediately knew what to do. Snype quickly ran over to Mark's bag and started to search for Medicine. Mark was sure to be preapared after his last adventures. Today had been horrible.

Snype found two Full Heals inside of his bag and quickly got to work being the Only Pokemon with hands to use. He started off with Sammy because after all, Ladies first. Snype sprayed her arms first so that she could get movement back into them. Snype placed the Full heal into her hand so that she could take care of the rest while he used another Full Heal to take care of Mark. Snype did the same with Mark, spraying his arms first and handing the Full Heal so that he could spray the rest of his body off with it. Mark sprayed his neck, Legs after rolling up his pant legs, and whatever else he could do. Eventually the paralysis would be healed but it wasn't as fast on humans as it was for Pokemon

Mark meanwhile was enraged. "GAHHHHH! Where are they?! I'm not letting them get away with Commodore!" Mark shouted angrily, getting up on his knees but struggling a bit.

Mark panted, irritated that his Pokemon had been stolen, but was relieved that Sammy had taken pre precautions. Boy did he owe Sammy a heck of a Christmas gift for all of this... they had to get their Pokemon first or Christmas would be the last thing on their minds! But Mark had to focus for now. He had to keep a calm head as he usually did... he'd get Commodore back. The day couldn't get any worse then this after all. Mark pulled out his Pokegear and began to dial an emergency line.

"Right... let's get moving. I'll call for help from the Police. Lets move!" He said, getting his Pokegear ready. He wasn't going to sulk over this. He was going to get what I wanted and he would do whatever means necessary.

"Hello? We bumped into Team Rocket Grunts... yes yes I heard the news... they ambushed us in the Forest and stole our Pokemon... they ambushed us in the forest..." He started on the phone.

Meanwhile the grunts were still running off with the stolen goods. A Porygon and a belt of Pokemon? They'd have to give up the Porygon but maybe the Pokemon on the girls belt has something good. It was a good day to be a Rocket! First of all, there was important data stored within Commodore... they had to get it out of him. The data they had to extract was confidential so their orders we to simply take everything out of Commodore, even if it killed it. The old Power Plant would have enough power to perform something like that.

"Alright... thanks." Mark said as he hung up. "Some Pokemon officials will look around the area so we're secure. Lets get moving and follow that tracker. This time we're getting the jump on them!" Mark said. He got out a Super Potion himself and sprayed Snype to heal him up a bit. He had to get him prepared and all. Mark still had his other Pokemon... odd... why didn't they take the whole bag? They seemed fixated on Commodore. Something was fishy... but of course, Porygon was an extremely rare Pokemon. Of course it'd be the target! He wanted to appologize so baddly to Sammy but he didn't have time. Besides, Sammy wouldn't want to hear him sulk. Not now of all times.

The grunts seemed to be running through the forest for a certain building. Eventually the trio stumbled across the Abandoned Power Plant. That'd have the power to handle their operation to extract data out of Commodore. The two quickly headed on inside, their Pokemon ready to take on any wild Pokemon inside.

Mark was relieved that they ended up being lead into the Power Plant. Wild Pokemon wouldn't be a problem at all! There was one Pokemon that Mark didn't show Sammy... one Pokemon he had been neglecting on training lately. Time to change that! He was humored by the irony of their location being in the Power Plant since it was where they planned to head over too anyways...

"We won't need either. I got a Pokemon that can take care of a couple of electric types easily. Right Kara?" Mark said as he pulled out a Great Ball. Upon opening it, Kara came swooping out and landed on the ground, giving a proud pose. Kara was the newest member of Mark's team and she had quite a personality. She was a real flirt toward other Pokemon that she found worthy. He glanced to the Corphish and noticed his chompers. Similar to her own. He gave him a small smile and focused on the matter at hand.

"She's flying and Ground. Kara can take on electrical attacks for us." He said.

The grunts were deep in the Power Plant. Looking for a Power Source, they plugged a laptop they had packed which had all of the necessary tools needed to extract everything out of Commodore. All they had to do was get the it inside of the computer. The grunts released the weakened Commodore out of its ball and looked down at it.

"Get yourself in that computer. We have work to do." A grunt said. The Porygon simply sneered, making various digital sounds. He'd have blasted that computer if he had the power to.

"Store yourself in that computer or we'll hunt your trainer down again and do worse things to him and his Pokemon." He threatened. Commodore sighed and installed himself into the plugged in laptop. It needed alot of Power to handle something like a Porygon. In reality, a Porygon's true form was just Binary. The physical form it took in the real world as actually an alternate form that could be projected to be displayed by human eyes. Commodore feared what these grunts would do to it...

"Right. Lets look around... listen around for whatever sounds out of place in the Power Plant..." Mark said. He stepped into the dim lit Power Plant. It was abandoned sure but it still had quite a bit of power inside of it... Mark was starting to wonder why it was abandoned in the first place. Maybe it was just overwhelmed by Electric Pokemon? Or perhaps they found a better power source. There had to be some sort of history to it... Mark shook his head and tried not to get distracted. As he walked by a small bit of static caught his hand and shocked his hand a bit.

"Ack! Watch out for any stray wires..." Mark whispered.

The two Rockets were working out their Programs to extract whatever they could out of Commodore. However Commodore seemed to be fighting back the intrusions... acting alot like anti virus software. He wasn't going to be tampered with so easily!

"Persistent little pest." The grunt mumbled. He pulled out a disk and inserted it inside of the disk drive of the laptop. Whatever was in the disk got Commodore to stop whatever he was doing... Commodore ceased all action to protect his Programming and was beginning to feel rather odd. Whatever was in that disk was not healthy for the poor Porygon.

As Mark continued trekking through the Power Plant, he was indeed begining to hear some noise. It sounded like typing. He signaled for Sammy to follow him and stop a moment. He was against a large piece of broken Machinery. Not to far from them, they could hear the sounds of a Computer... and two voices muttering something. No doubt it was the grunts.

The two Grunts continued trying to extract Commodore's Programming. Even with the virus disk they inserted, Commodore was still being resistant... but this time he was being more erratic then usual.

"What gives? That disk should have completely frozen him... now he's just being more jumpy then ever!" One grunt said. The other grunt sighed.

"Bah! Your useless. Just take the damn thing apart and delete whatever isn't important." He said.

Mark's heart stopped a moment when he heard they were going to try deleting Commodore. No! He couldn't have them kill him! He didn't know what he would do without one of his oldest buddies! "W-we have to plan something q-quick..." He stuttered quietly, extremely worried about what would happen to Commodore now.

Commodore was getting more erratic and jumpy meanwhile... that disk did some weird things to him.

Mark shook his head. Normall he'd take the stealth approach but he was far too worried about Commodores safety to take his time with something like that! Though the Grunts seemed to be having issues with Commodore... he had to think fast before Commodore was killed!

On the laptop, the whole screen seemed to be fairly glitchy. Commodore's face popped up every so often. A small message displayed on the screen.

ERROR: TULIP NOT FOUND IN ROSE BUSH. PRESS # TO TRY AGAIN

A weird message... totally irrelevant. Even the grunts were confused. This should have been a simple quick process. At this point they were mashing buttons. Another sign appeared on the screen saying

"LOL"

"..." The grunts were bamboozled. Mark was confused as to just what they were reacting to...

"Snype might be about to carry the laptop... What did you have in mind? Snype sneaking up and snatching it away?" Mark asked.

Mark nodded and agreed with the plan. He didn't have any other better ideas at the moment... He looked to Snype and nodded and got to work. He slowly began to crawl into position so he could sneak closer and snatch the laptop. Snype even got a good view of what was going on in the screen... very peculiar. What were they instant messaging somebody? Snype continued to make his move...

Commodore meanwhile was still messing with the grunts and throwing different messages toward them. It had grown resistant to whatever hacking tools they had installed. Infact, it was begining to go through the Rocket's computer and start tampering with the various files.

"Don't touch that! You stay put or I swear I'll do something Drastic!" The grunt threatened.

Commodore sent another message in response.

"<3"

The grunts were silent once more... they did everything in their power to shut Commodore up... Snype meanwhile continued his approach. Mark looked over to Sammy.

"Snype could use a distraction. Any ideas?" Mark asked.

Snype began to approach closer to the laptop as Commodore continued messing with them... Commodore continued sending messages to the grunts. Commodore was aware of Snype's presence but was totally oblivious to the plan. Commodore just sent a bunch of letters put into an indescribable message. Snype was tempted to chuckle at Commodores plan... as Snype got closer, Commodore seemed to chuckle.

The Pokemon uninstalled itself out of the computer temporarily and looked down at Snype as he snuck up.

"Comon purple dude! Go go go!" Commodore said with heart symbols in his eyes. He quickly put himself back into the computer, just to play around with both parties. When Commodore popped out he looked totally different... like... WAY different. Mark caught sight of it was was even more worried! What the hell happened to Commodore? And why did he go back INSIDE of the computer?!

The grunts noticed Commodores gesture and looked backwards. Snype made a dash back to his previous hiding spot... What was up with Commodore?

With the Grunts being distracted by the antics of the Computer, the two Grunts were completely caught off guard. The two of them were hit and sent to the ground. They were surprised to see it was the same trainers from before!

"You two again! Gah!" One grunt shouted. Snype took this Opprotunity to snatch the Laptop that Commodore was hanging out in. As soon as Snype grabbed the laptop, Commodore uninstalled himself out of the laptop once again and projected his new evolved form to everybody. His head seemed to be upside down and he didn't look too much like the duck form his previous forms had... what was this? Some kind of evolution? It seemed so Bizzare... Mark never heard of a Porygon having a third evolution.

"Yay! You did it! Hey if your cool with carrying me around then I'm cool with that too!" Commodore said as he went back into the Computer to chill while Snype did the hard work. What a jerk!

The Grunts were in pain from the attack but still had energy to bring out the big guns. One Grunt sent out a Muk while the other brought out a Machoke. They had dropped Sammys belt nearby but the Pokemon where in the way...

Snype brought the Laptop out of the way near Mark and Sammy. The Porygon popped out of the Computer with an extremely happy expression. He hugged and pecked Mark lightly on the nose as if kissing him and did the same for Sammy. His friends were here! Mark blinked.

"Commodore... what happened to you?" Mark wondered. He'd have to ask someone about this one...
