Glancing around Lily noticed a few other cages like her own. These contained various pokemon who like herself must have been taken from their homes. She glanced to the side when she heard quiet sobbing.
Lily walked to the right side of her cage and regarded the pokemon in the cage directly next to hers closely. It was small and brown, with a fluffy tail that ended in a white tip. The kitten cocked her head to the side in curiosity as she thought over what it might be
Not a Ratatta, she was sure of that. Perhaps a Pikachu? No those were yellow and sparky. She looked closer and she smiled as she finally figured out what the brown fluffy thing was.
"Hey Zigzagoon, are you ok? Why are you crying?" Lily asked, trying to reach her paw into the other’s cage.
The pokemon in the other turned quickly to glare at Lily as he wiped his eyes of any remaining moisture. "Who are you calling a Zigzagoon? Are you blind? I happen to be an Eevee, and I wasn't crying." Eevee replied icily as he jerked his head to the side.
"Sorry." Lily laughed nervously as she scratched her ear rapidly with her hind leg. A habit she'd developed out of nervousness. "That was going to be my next guess."
Eevee rolled his eyes and looked over the kitten, who didn't appear to be any older then himself. "I'm Ty, by the way. What's your name?"
Lily smiled happily. "I'm Lily. Where are we any way?" She asked, ignoring Ty's outstretched paw. Ty frowned and shook his head lightly.
"Don't you remember anything that happened before you woke up here?"
"Barely…" Lily twitched slightly as she heard a familiar voice. She glared hatefully at the human who entered, along with his partner. Then all of a sudden her memories began to rush back, so quickly in fact she felt dizzy from the surge.
"Hey! Are you ok? Lily?!" Ty banged against the side of his cage. Lily was hunched over slightly as memories of her mother’s fight with Vilplume surfaced once more. "Lily, snap out of it!" Ty stood on his hind legs and looked over in earnest at the shaking form of Lily.
"Well lookie' here." One of the rockets from earlier sneered in Lily's direction. He walked over to her cage and kicked it, earning a yelp of pain from Lily and snarl and show of teeth from Ty. He ignored Ty for the moment and focused on Lily instead who was looking at him in fear. "Not so tough now eh' princess?" He laughed and poured some stale pokemon pellets into the cages of the pokemon in holding.
"No food for you." the rocket laughed when he passed Ty's cage. "Remember who's in charge here and you might not starve." He laughed and kicked Ty's cage, who snarled in defiance, before leaving topside once more.
"Lily, are you ok?" Ty stood as close to the other’s cage as he could manage. Now that the Team Rocket man was gone, Lily seemed to visibly relax. She was still visibly shaking, though.
"I'm ok." Lily sniffled. She looked at the pile of food dumped in her cage then over towards Ty's. There was nothing there, not even a crumb. "What about you? That was really brave sticking up for me that way. But you could've beenhurt."
"Nah, I'm fine Lils. You don't have ta’ worry ‘bout me." Ty smacked a paw to his chest in emphasis. He coughed lightly, but covered it up as a light chuckle. "What we need to do is figure a way out of these cages."
Lily paced around her cage for a few minutes before she turned back to Ty. "There's no way we'll ever get out of here. The cages are locked Ty, we'll never escape." Lily shook her head in despair.
Ty laughed lightly, causing Lily to glance at him in confusion. "There's always a way if you have the key." Ty replied with a smirk. He took a few paces around his own cage, tapped lightly on the bars with his paw, and nodded in a satisfied way. "Time to bust loose. Ice Beam!"
"Wow, that's amazing Ty. The only attacks I know are Bite, Tackle, and Scratch." Lily watched in astonishment as Ty released a powerful ice beam on the bars of his cage. Once three of the bars were frozen over he ran to the back of his cage and rushed forward, slamming into the frozen bars with a quickattack.
"Ow, that hurt." Ty winced as he bounced back. The bars were dented slightly outwards, but far from being broken. He glanced over at Lily, who was depending on him to get them out of this mess. Wincing at the slight pain in his shoulder Ty put even more effort into his quick attack and burst through the bars.
"Ty, you did it!" Lily cheered. She did a doubletake on Ty, and gasped when she saw his wound. "Ty, you’re bleeding."
Instead of replying Ty turned toward Lily's cage and applied the same technique as his own. In a matter of moments both he and Lily were free, along with several other captured pokemon the Rockets had stolen.
Along with the two of them, there was also a Pikachu, Bulbasaur, two Pidgeys, and a Butterfree. Why they had stole all these pokemon was a mystery to Lily. She didn't really care at the moment why though. All she wanted was to get herself and the others as far away from those two men as they could.
"We will be arriving in Olvine City shortly. All passangers please gather your belongings and pokemon, and prepare to disembark. I repeat we will be arriving in Olvine City. Thank you for choosing Racing Azumarill for your travel needs. For those passengers remaining to Hoenn there will be a short 30 minute layover, all other passengers enjoy your stay in the Johto region."
Ty glanced up as the announcement ended. "We'll be getting off here, minus the Rockets of course. Once we leave the ship we'll go our separate ways, until then we stick together and force our way off the plane if necessary." he glanced to his side to see Lily tending his wound, and smiled lightly before turning back to the others. "Understood?"
There was a unanimous cry of yes from the other pokemon. Just then the two Rockets from earlier entered. "Hey, why are the pokemon all out of their cages?" the first Rocket asked, confused.
"Run for the door!" Ty yelled quickly when he noticed the second Rocket reaching for a pokeball at his waist. They quickly made a mad dash for the open door while the Rockets were still stunned. They were quickly recovering though, enough to possibly counter their escape attempts.
The two Pidgey were the first out the door and soared freely into the clear blue sky.
"Grab them, you idiot! If they all get away the boss will kill us!" the second Rocket screamed to the first.
Lily glanced back and slowed her pace when she noticed Ty running slower than the others due to a slight limp in his injured leg. The Bulbasaur and Pikachu dashed ahead and sprinted out the door just slightly ahead of Butterfree.
"Lily, don't come back for me." Ty growled and snapped in her direction when she rushed to his side. Lily rolled her eyes at his somewhat of an attempt atchivalry."Come on, let's get out of here." Lily offered her side for him to lean on. When he made no move to comply, she growled slightly in frustration. "Move it!" She snapped, causing Ty to quickly do as she asked.
Together the two quickly made their way to the ships main deck. Lily glanced around. There was commotion everywhere. The ship had docked at port and the sight of pokemon getting loose from their hold below deck had apparently made the humans on edge. Either that or they were in a hurry to reach their destination. Lily and Ty disappeared into the crowd just at the two Rockets appeared. The two Team Rocket members glanced around, but the only sight that met their eyes was two Pidgeys disappearing into the sunset.
"We're gonna get it when we get back to headquarters right?" The first rocket asked the second.
"Probably, let's play hooky for a while and hit the beach. I wanna get a snowcone."
No one paid much attention to two pokemon as they ran through the city. The street lights came on suddenly and nightlife in Olivine City began. Lily and Ty took shelter in a nearby alley as a light drizzle of rain began.
Ty looked over his bandaged shoulder once Lily had finished applying a few strips of cloth she'd found in the alley. His shoulder barely hurt now, but there was something he needed to know first before they parted ways. "Lily?"
Lily glanced up from a tin can she'd been poking around to find Ty looking at her with a serious expression. His eyes seemed so full of emotion, yet so unable to express himself thoroughly. "Yes? What is it, Ty? Is something the matter?"
Ty cleared his throat deeply thinking how best to begin. "Why did you come back for me back on the ship?" He finally decided the best way to do this was to be blunt. "I told you to run. You could have been captured again."
"Well..."
"There's the intruders, boss. I told you a couple of pokemon were moving in on our turf." A low growl was heard from further down the alley, and before either Lily or Ty knew it, they found themselves surrounded by a pack of wild Poochyenna.
"Well well, lookie what we've got here. A couple of babies crying for their mommies." The biggest of the Poochyenna snarled, then laughed heartily at his own joke. The others quietly joined in with their leader. Not only was he big, he also boasted a confidence that only one who won many battles could hold. Not to mention the deep scar over one eye.
Ty placed himself in front of lily, a low growl rumbling low in his throat. "You'll never get to Lily."
"The Meowth is called Lily huh? A name only a human could have chosen. The lot of them makes me sick. My name is Scar. Remember it well in the afterlife." Scar sneered as he signaled his pack to move in on the two younger pokemon.
"Stay behind me, Lils. I won't let them hurt you." Ty shifted his stance slightly to one more suited for battle. "Ice Beam!" He took aim at the leader and fired. Unfortunately all that came of this was a small puff of cold air.
Scar stared at Ty for a few seconds before he and his pack broke out in a fit of laughter. "And here I actually thought I might get a small workout. You’re not even worth a small growl attack."
"Ty…" Lily whispered. She knew he was still tired from their earlier escape. She quickly unsheathed her claws and prepared to defend herself and Ty.
"Do you really need an entire pack just to deal with two pups?" A voice asked from above. A large shadow appeared over them. "Are you losing your touch,Scar?"
"You!" Scar growled, quickly turning his attention upwards to the top of the fire escape. Lily and Ty looked as well and could just make out a small yellow and orange form standing poised in the moonlight. "Stay out of this Jenny, I'm warning you." Scar snarled.
The yellow and orange pokemon leapt springboarding from wall to wall ‘til she stood before Scar. "Or you'll what? If I remember correctly weren't you the one who ran off with his tail between his legs after our last encounter?"
"She's a Growlithe." Lily whispered in awe. "But Growlithes aren't normally that color are they?" she turned to Ty who seemed just as impressed.
Where a normal Growlithe was orange with black stripes Jenny was Pikachu yellow with orange stripes. There were also quite a few scars littered over her body. Most of them seemed to have happened long ago. Ty gulped at the look Jenny directed at Scar. He was pretty sure if she looked at him that way he'd probably run the other way.
Jenny growled in anticipation for the coming battle as Scar slowly circled her. "Why don't you go back to that police squadron you were so fond of? Oh that's right, I forgot." Scar smirked at Jenny's sudden, but brief look of pain. "You couldn't cut it anymore. Cracked up when that Dragonite took out your mate right? I say he had it coming, him and those other pathetic whimps."
Jenny’s look of pain quickly transformed into a drawn out sigh. "Scar, you really are an idiot. I was going to let you off easy." Jenny’s calm look quickly turned into a series of short growls.
In a swift blur of motion Jenny completely trashed Scar and sent him and his pack yelping in pain off into the night. She fought like a crazed demon, and only halted her attack once her enemy was thoroughly beaten.
The whole thing was over before it had even begun.
"You pups ok?" Jenny turned her head to look over the two she rescued. An Eevee and a Meowth. Odd, she was sure Eevee and Meowth didn't normally travel in packs. "Follow me. I've got a safe place you can stay the night. A dark alley at night is no where you want to be. Trust me." She smiled warmly at them and motioned with her head.
Lily looked at Ty. "Should we?"
"Might as well, I don't think she plans on hurting us." Ty shrugged. "And she does have a point. We don't want to spend the night out here." With that thought in mind the two quickly followed Jenny to her home, an old abandoned loft.
