Pokemon: Hope (PG 14)

Yoshi thought about it. "I'll meet you guys at petalburg. Might not be able to squeeze us all on his flying type pokemon." Yoshi said walking to the river that he knew headed straight to petalburg city. He let Magick out and said "On to petalburg girl. This might take a while." Yoshi said before swimming away on Magick.
 
Natalie watched Yoshi leave and stretched her arms out. "We can walk, Aero," she said to Aero. "Char!" he replied. Natalie walked down the path and watched some Taillow fly away. The wind blew hard and made Natalie's hair blow around. "Strong winds," she commented. She looked around more and went paler than she already was. She grabbed Aero and hid behind a tree. A Slaking came stomping slowly down the road. It lazily passed Natalie and yawned so loudly, other Pokémon scurried away. Natalie stared at it wide-eyed and continued going in the same direction. A Dratini was splashing around in a pond. A Dratini! "Aero, use scratch!" Aero ran to the Dratini and tried scratching it, but missed. "Aero, try again!" Natalie called. Aero attempted scratch again and scratched the Dratini across the face. Dratini cried out and tackled Aero into a tree. "Okay Aero, use tackle!" Natalie commanded. Aero tackled the Dratini and caused it to fly backward into the pond. "Pokéball, go!" Natalie yelled as she threw a Pokéball at the Dratini. The ball enveloped the Dratini and fell into the pond. It shook for a few moments before clicking.
 
He heard and told magick to stop. Magick turned around and bumped into lapras. "Hi Lilith" Yoshi said from the top of Magicks head.
 
Yoshi stared at lilith and smiled. "Your welcome" Yoshi said. "well are you going to name it?"
 
Natalie could see Petalburg City in the far distance. The air smelled oddly fresh. She shifted her weight onto her good leg and then looked back at the pond. The Pokéball containing her Dratini flew up. Natalie caught it and attached it to her belt. Without a word, she walked through the brush and flinched when some Wurmple slithered by. "Charmander," Aero said. "What?" asked Natalie. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her shoulder. She turned and saw a Rocket standing there. "Aero, use--" Natalie started. "NO," the Rocket yelled. "I'm not here to attack you."
"Yes you are."
"No, I want to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"You seem like you would be a good part of Team Rocket. You have that tough glint in your eye. You can help us get what we want, do us justice. What do you say?"
"No, I'm here for a reason. To stop you."
"But did you ever think that Team Rocket is… powerless? That we feel rejected from society and want something good for us?"
"There are other ways to accomplish that."
"Your peace methods? Psh, they don't work for no ****."
"How rude."
"No."
"Quit pestering me."
"Shut up."
Natalie went silent. She squinted and saw a herd of Ponyta running through the trees.
"Well?" asked the Rocket.
"Huh?"
"I said, society treats us bad and we want equality."
"Can you quit following me?" Natalie asked. She picked up Aero and put him at the top of a fence. She climbed it and jumped down to the other side. The Rocket wasn't letting her leave. He jumped the fence and continued. "If you join, you'll get free Pokémon from us and have the satisfaction of being in the most evil-- I mean, misunderstood organization ever!" he said enthusiastically. "That sounds stupid," Natalie told him. "WHY YOU LITTLE-- I mean, no, it's really cool," said the Rocket impatiently. Natalie ignored him and reached into her coat pocket. She took out a medium sized blade, stopped walking, and stared at the Rocket. He said, "What are you doing with that?"
Natalie stuffed the entire blade down her throat. She started to gag and stagger around. The Rocket watched in confusion. "Is that a magic act? Is that knife magic?"
Natalie ignored him and took out another blade. The Rocket quickly snatched it. "I wanna try!" he said jokingly. He stuffed the blade down his throat, and it impaled through his trachea. Blood poured everywhere, and Natalie automatically stopped gagging and looked at him in shock. He dropped to the ground with fearful eyes and lay still. Natalie stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do. She took out the retracted blade from her mouth and just stood still, staring at the dead Rocket.
Aero huffed out a small puff of smoke.
 
Yoshi heard the grief in her voice but said nothing other than. "Lets continue on shall we?" Yoshi then told Magick to continue as Felix moved closely behind them.
 
He saw it right up ahead. He made the mistake of standing on Magicks head. He slipped and pummeled backwards into the water. He swam back up and spitted out water like a fountain. He then climbed back up on Magick.
 
Yoshi stared at her and laughed. "Maybe so. Haven't been here since my dad left me and my mom" he didn't mean to sigh but he did and his heart ached. He waited into Magick got close enough and jumped down and returned her to her pokeball. He raised up a hand to help Lilith down when Felix got closer.
 
Lilith smiled "I've never been here at all. But I've been all around Unova" she said a faint blush on her face as Yoshi helped her off of Felix she then returned Felix to his Pokeball. "Ready to go?"
 
"Yea, We should find Natalie though before going on. Jalko has his cousin that could fly him here." Yoshi said starting to walk then from the corner of his eye he saw a something move. He pushed Lilith out the way just in time. He got shot in the stomach and fell on his back. The impact caused Snivs to pop out and stared in Horror as he saw his trainer bleeding to death. "ugh...." Yoshi moaned in pain. The gun shot came again and hit him in the arm this time. He yelled in pain. He waited to die as his blood came out of him like a volcano.
 
"Yoshi!" Lilith screamed kneeling by him as a team rocket grunt came out of the shadows.

"You won't be getting in our way anymore" the grunt said the gun aimed at her.

Not this time Lilith thought leaping forward and trying to get the gun from him. When the gun went off both Lilith and then grunt froze one of the two had been shot but it wasn't obvious who yet.
 
Yoshi stared at both of them waiting to see who will fall first. His vision was blurry so it was hard to see.
