The fall of Golden Rod

Not open for further replies.
Rhaine nodded "Makes sense." she said "Rockets like their bases subterranean for some reason."

Her thoughts returned to the old Celadon game corner hideout that they'd been trying to bring back into use. She and the gang had taken care of that right quick.

"At least, that's my experience." Rhaine concluded.
 
"Ok, Two of us will search up stairs and two if us down stairs. Who wants to go with who?" Takeno said looking around at the others hoping to see Rhaine go with Roan.
Then we can talk! PLEASE OH PLEASE!!! He thought to himself.
 
"Well . . . whoever goes upstairs should probably have at least one flying Pokemon. While the Radio Tower may have been proud of their glass windows before, they probably provide a disadvantage now--even with the railings." Roan glanced at those present, attempting to recall the Pokemon they had displayed earlier. "If I recall correctly, all of us have at least one flying Pokemon except for Takeno. But, if she would be willing, Emily probably has enough flying Pokemon to compensate for that." The trainer shrugged. "Either way, I leave your decisions up to you." Turning toward the elevator, Roan concluded, "But, I'm going into the basement."

The male paused, before adding as an afterthought. "By the way, I have a two warnings--look out for traps, and remember we're on a mission." Roan glanced at Takeno before motion toward Scyther. The bug Pokemon pried open one elevator's pair of doors with its blades, preparing to protect its trainer it the event of an explosion. However, finding none, the Pokemon glanced cautiously into the elevator shaft.

Looks like the elevator's on a higher floor . . . good. Without a word to the others, Roan leaped down the shaft--Scyther at his side.
 
Getting the hint he looked at Emily. "Maybe you should go with Rhaine upstairs and I will go with Roan...Come on Mankey!" He said leaping into the elavator shaft. I know Roan is right so I will go with him...And his Syther is really strong to....so best of luck to them but for now. It is time for some butt kicking. Takeno thought to himself. a thud sounded when Takeno hit the floor and Mankey at his side. "This is as far as you go Mankey!" Takeno said pulling out a pokeball. "Return. Now it your turn! Go Chameleon!"
 
"Well, have fun boys." Rhaine called as Takeno leapt into the shaft after Roan. Strange she thought for herself I would have thought he would go with Emily. she turned to the afforementioned and tried to catch a glimpse on her sentiments on the matter before she opened her mouth:

"Well." Rhaine said "Let's go upstairs then, shall we?"

I nodded.
"Let's go." I returned Rage and slung him over my shoulder.
"Oof! Heavy!" I straightened.

I'll manage. I started up the stairs, Hydro and Darkness following. I got to the first hallway and looked around.

Seems fine... I took a step and a trapdoor opened. I grabbed nearest thing, which happened to be Darkness' tail.

"Pull!" Darkness pulled me up, but I dropped the Rocket down the trap. A thud came from below and angry voices sounded.

More Rockets I suppose. I got up and brushed myself off.

"Gotta be more careful."
 
hearing a thud about ten feet away I looked to my right which a door stood. Hearing many voices shouting I thought to myself...This is it, it is time to kick major ROcket butt! BOOM, the door flew open with a thunderous sound. "Charmeleon! Flame thrower!"
 
"Whoa! You alright Emily?" Rhaine called anxiously, running over as soon as she saw her partner dissapear into the hole. To her relief the girl reappeared quickly enough, however.

Rhaine peered into the hole, noticing a Flamethrower followed by the summoning of various pok?mon. Rhaine bit her lip, "If only there was something we could-Oh, I know!"
She unclipped another one of her pok?balls and unleashed Lily by the edged of the pit.

"Lily, drop a Stun Spore down there." Rhaine commanded, pointing at the trapdoor.

"Tree!" the Victreebel replied grumpily, obediently unleashing a thick cloud of paralytic particles down to the rockets.

"Good." Rhaine said, nodding "You can come back now." she returned the Grass pok?mon to her ball.

She turned to Emily "Let's be more careful from now on, alright? We wouldn't want to get the boys into seriously trouble, would we?"
 
"Charmeleon, get back!" Takeno yelled as he seen a cloud of yellowish dust falling from the hole in the roof top ahead.
Thanks girls. He thought to himself while backing out the door and running towards Roan.
 
"Nope, we wouldn't. I should be more careful." I slapped my head. "So stupid!"

I looked down the hall.

"It's wide enough for Salamance and Flare to fly through, but I'm sure there are traps off the ground..." I looked at the floor. A square shaped tear was on the floor enery few yards. I snapped my figures.

"That's it!" I looked at the wall and sure enough, square shaped cuts every few yards, just barely visable.

"Rhaine, see the squares on the floor and walls? Those are where the traps are! You can ride Angelo through here if he has Extreamespeed, I can ride Darkness, who has this move, and we'll move too fast for the traps!" I smiled at my idea.

"Sound good?"
 
Rhaine nodded, collecting up her other pok?mon "Yeah, sure. Okay Angelo, you heard her!"

"Arcaa!" the Arcanine gently hoisted his trainer onto his back and set off across the trapped corridor, his great speed allowed him to bypass any traps and things went smoothly until...

"Shoot!" the strong wind created by their dash knocked Rhaine's hat off her head and into one of the gaping chasms left by Angelo's advance, just a few steps before they reached the other side.

"That was a perfectly good hat." Rhaine muttered, staring into the open trapdoor that had swallowed her possession as she pushed aside the stray locks of hair that had decided to celebrate their freedom by obscuring her vision.

"I'm alright!" she called to Emily. "Just need to sort this hair situation out."

Angelo shook his head The mistress would have a much easier time if she trimmed her fur properly. he thought for himself with a small sigh. Grooming was so important.

I knew I should have gotten a haircut Rhaine thought for herself, rummaging in her bag. After a few minutes she pulled out a fairly sizeable, light blue handkerchief her mother had given her. This will do, she wrapped the handkerchief around her head and secured it with a tight knot turning it into a makeshift headband.

Looking down the dark halls I noticed a small sqeaking sound coming from a locked room. "Roan, this might be it. It might be her, get ready because if it is there will be so many ROckets in here it wont even be funny!
Marshtomp,CHarmeleon,Maganium,Eevee,and Mankey! This might be it so....." Takeno was cut off by the opening of the door and a ROcket grunt walking out.
"Get him!" Takeno spat out as fast as possible and Mankey took to the air knocking him back on the floor. I jumped down to cover his mouth and Mankey hit him in the chest to knock him out.
"She's in that room.....I seen her. We cna save her but I want this in sequeal with Roan's pokemon as well. No Full on Elemental attacks if there is a weaker element on our team in the room. Got it?" I said looking at CHarmeleon.
"Roan when ever your ready we can go!"
 
I chuckled slighly and watched the traps move back to thier original places. I returned Hydro.

"I'll let you out in a minute. Now, Dark, I know you don't usually carry people, but I need to get across this floor. Just for emergincies, ok?"

Darkness sighed, but nodded. I got on his back.

"Extreamespeed!" Darkness' feet moved lightning fast and as Angelo had, we bypassed all the traps and mechinisms. As soon as we reached the other side I got of Darkness, who was panting.

I must need to go on a diet...
Hydro popped out of her ball.

"Ok, shall we move on?"
 
Rhaine threw Emily a mock-glare "I'll have you know that there's nothing funny about a hair crisis." she stated "And speaking of crisises, either Darkness here needs excercise or you need to loose weight." she pinched Emily's arm teasingly, as if to check for excess fat "The overweight die single." she added with a sly smirk before continuing down the hallway.

"Ar-caaan-nine" (Or maybe both) Angelo suggested, watching the little canine's panting with amusement before following his trainer.

Minerva popped out of her pok?ball too, how she had sensed the other Vaporeon's presence was beyond Rhaine but it didn't bother her too much and she let the water pok?mon rejoin her friend once more.
 
I pushed Rhaine's hand away.

"It may be both of us," I said. I pinched Rhaine's arm. "Excuse me, then for being a bit overwieght." I let go of Rhaine and patted Darkness, who's panting had ceased.

"We should train you more often," I said. Hydro and Minerva were talking once more, and I decided to move on.

"Next time, no weight jokes, mmk?" I said with a slight chuckle.
 
"Oh, I'm sorry." Rhaine chuckled "I just couldn't resist. Probably like you when my hat dropped of." she watched the Vaporeon's discuss something with enviable ease.

"Wonder how the boys are doing." she said absent-mindedly. Wonder if she even cares... Rhaine added in her thoughts It's so obvious that poor guy's got a crush on her, I almost feel sorry for him.
 
"It's ok. I forgive you." I walked into the next room. I looked for signs of traps and stood an inch from the hallway. I waited.

Nothing happened.I ran across the room and still nothing happened.

"o...k..." Darkness bounded across behind me.

"Rhaine! No traps here! Come on!" I turned around. "Oh, ****oki mushrooms..."

A big group of Rocket Grunts stood there.

"Attack!" One called, and the whole group lunged. I released my pokemon.

"Attack them, everyone!"
 
With their corrseponding cries a Weezing, a Gloom, a Crobat, and an Arbok appeared ready to attack Emily and Darkness.

Rhaine bit her lip, she was used to fighting rockets but only one or two at a time. And in this ambush she didn't have Roan's Sneasel for help.

Without bothering to wait for her trainer's command Minerva rushed to the aid of her friends, knocking the Arbok back with a Water Pulse which left the pok?mon conscious but soaked and confused.

An evil grin spread across Rhaine's face as she unclipped another pok?ball, No Golem for cover this time "Aeris! Thunderbolt!"

The Dragonair reappeared from her ball, electrocuting the Arbok and putting it out of the battle. The rockets responded, though.

"Weezing! Smokescreen!" the pok?mon unleashed a cloud of choking and blinding exhaust at Rhaine, Angelo and Aeris. Forcing the girl to close her eyes and cover her face with her shirt.

"Gloom! Stun Spore!"

As the paralytic spores mingled with the smoke cloud, Rhaine's eyes began to water and she felt like she was choking as her body slowly began stiffening.

"Emily!" she wheezed as loud as she could manage, a puff of smoke and spores entering her throat "We need wind!"
 
Scyther's wings whirred rapidly, allowing it and its trainer to alight on the ground with relative ease. Seeing Takeno make his way toward a room, Roan said nothing--merely remaining where he was. Then, as Takeno swiftly returned, Roan and Scyther glanced at one another and shrugged slightly.

"Roan, this might be it."

Roan turned to view the door Takeno's gaze lay upon. After allowing the trainer to finish speaking, Roan nodded, replying, "Alright. But, being that there will probably be quite a few Rockets, we should try to avoid unneccessary combat--especially in an enclosed space like that room."

Raising a Pokeball, Roan released a Pokemon. "I'll send Vulpix in to use Flash to blind the Rockets. You and your Pokemon get in there as quickly as possible and get Whitney out. Don't go back directly to the elevator shaft--that's the first place they'll look. I'll try to distract the Rockets, but some of them will probably look for Whitney. If this is like any of their other bases, it's probably quite a maze. If you can lose them in it, then you should be able to circle back and make it to the ground floor. Agreed?"

-------------------------------------

Outside the Radio Tower, Sneasel dropped down, dodging a Magmar's Flamethrower. Hissing, it sliced its claws through the air, directing an Icy Wind toward its opponent. As the Magmar countered with an Ember, Sneasel suddenly flitted behind the fire type and cast a full force Shadow Ball at its back. Magmar collapsed to the ground, fainted.

"Tch. Magmar, return." A Rocket angrily recalled his Pokemon before preparing another one. However, before he or his companions were able to release another Pokemon, Sneasel slammed them against the nearest wall with a Blizzard, freezing them to the building's side. Then, turning, the dark type sealed the only entrance in the surrounding wall of ice.

Viewing its work with satisfaction, Sneasel deemed its job complete. Thus, turning, it vanished into the Radio Tower.
