The World Of Pokemon 2.0

Eric followed Mr.Taylor and Lt.Surge to the outskirts of the city to an abandoned storage building.

Mr.Taylor peered around the back of the building and located a large factory enclosed by a large metal fence several blocks away, "Team Rocket is using that factory ahead." He said while pointing to it.

"My sources say that they are running the operation at the back of the factory. There is a quick passageway to Celadon City near here."

"However how do we get past the two guarding the gate without alerting them? We want to secure the Pokemon before they can use them as hostages." Mr.Taylor continued as he stroked his chin.

"A distraction, maybe?" Eric suddenly spoke up.

"What! What are you!-doing following us?.." Lt.Surge shouted at first but then lowered his voice because he could be pretty loud. He blamed it on being in the army, but he'd never regret his decision to join.

"I'm not quite sure." Eric shrugged.

[Pika..] Pikachu sighed and shook its head as it couldn't believe its trainer's behavior.

Why were they following them anyways?

(A/N: *Whistles*)

"You!-Forget it...Just stay back and let us handle this."

"Actually, I want his help." Mr.Taylor said as he patted Eric's shoulder.

"You do?" Lt.Surge looked at Mr.Taylor as he was confused at what a kid could do in this type of situation.

"Yes, he's going to be the distraction. Didn't you say we needed that?" Mr.Taylor said with a smirk.

"I did?"

"Of course you did. And plus you have something they want remember?" Mr.Taylor said with a knowing smile.

"Eevee?... But.." Eric had eventually put two and two together about Eevee's situation. He knows that some people out there experiment with Pokemon, and Eevee must be one of those experiments that escaped. 'From its reactions, it must have been rough..'

"We need time to secure the stolen pokemon. You only have to lure those two guarding the front gate." Mr.Taylor said.

"I suppose I should as I need Lt.Surge's badge... Maybe I shouldn't have followed you guys."

"Now you!-Now, you regret following us?" Lt.Surge sighed as he couldn't understand the kid.

"Ok, We will sneak in as you distract them. Call out Eevee."

Eric sighed as he released Eevee from its Pokeball.

[Eevee...] Eevee immediately looked around once before lowering its head. It could sense that it was going to be used and assumed that its trainer ran into those bad guys.

Eric caught on to the behavior of Eevee and immediately lifted it into his arms.

[Eevee?..] Eevee was surprised by the actions of its trainer as the previous people were always so scared, and immediately ran away after releasing it.

But wait...

It doesn't feel like it's been released from its trainer?

"I know things have been rough for you, but we need your help. We have to save Pokemon that could end up in the same position as you... I promise you Eevee that I won't let Team Rocket get their hands on you. Trust me, ok?" Eric soothingly said as he stroked Eevee's head to reassure it.

[Pika Pikachu!] Pikachu nodded its head in approval with what its trainer said.

[E.eevee..] Eevee stared at its trainer as the blue light surrounding him seemed to make it believe in his words. Tears would start to form in its eyes as it eventually nodded, and buried its face in its trainer's c.h.e.s.t. It didn't quite understand, but it decided it will follow its current trainer.

The touching scene compelled everyone to agree that they need to secure those stolen Pokemon. They couldn't let something like Eevee happen again.

"Ok, whenever you're ready, son." Mr.Taylor said as he motioned for Lt.Surge and his lackeys to follow him to a closer vantage point.

"Be careful, kid," Lt.Surge said before following along with Mr.Taylor.

"I got this... I mean, what's the-No I'm not going to jinx myself." Eric chuckled lightly as he continued to stroke Eevee's head.

Eric looked at the two Team Rocket grunts guarding the front gate, and sighed softly before smiling at his Pokemon, "Let's go Pikachu and Eevee.."

[Eevee!][Pikachu!] The two both nodded.

(A/N: He said the thing! Aaah!)

Several minutes later, Eric casually walked to the front gate of the factory and proceeded with his quite original plan.

"Hello, good sirs! Could I interest you in a nice Eevee that you've been looking for? I'm willing to sell it for the low, low price of a million pokedollars. I know its high, but just look st this adorableness!" Eric shouted as he raised Eevee into the air.

[Eevee!~] Eevee smiled as it playfully wiggled its front paws along with its tail.

"How did you-Wait? I remember you! You're that kid! Hand it over, or this will get ugly!" One of the Team Rocket grunts said after pulling out a Pokeball.

"Wait, there's more!... Uh... Gotta go fast!" Eric said before suddenly dashing away.

"Get back here!! Go, Arbok!" The first Team Rocket grunt said as he called out an Arbok.

"Go get em too, Golbat!" The other Team Rocket grunt said.

[Chaarbok!] [Golbat!] An Arbok and a Golbat started to chase after Eric with their trainers close behind.

-------

"That's our cue! Move in!" Mr.Taylor said as they snuck in through the front gate and quickly dashed to the backside of the factory.

The group quickly crouched behind some tall crates and observed the Team Rocket grunts at work.

"The operation is bigger than what I thought.." Mr. Taylor quietly whispered as he witnessed over twenty Team Rocket grunts loading several hundreds of Pokeballs and Pokemon in cages onto a truck.

"What should we do?-" Lt.Surge quickly closed his mouth as two grunts came near the crates to take a break.

"What a haul! I'm sure the boss is going to be happy about this one. Those kids were just too easy!" One Team Rocket grunt said with a laugh.

"Hahaha! Speaking of kids. Did you remember that one with the blonde hair?" Another grunt said.

"Oh yeah! Hahaha! The kid was crying his little eyes out! No! That's my uncle's Pokemon! Please don't take it!~ Boohooo~ I'm a little bitch~" The other Team Rocket grunt mocked with a baby voice.

All of Lt.Surge's muscles suddenly tensed up as he gritted his teeth in anger. He was mad at his nephew for stealing, but at the end of the day, that was still his nephew!

The two grunts then proceeded to laugh as one of them handed over two Pokeballs to another grunt that was loading the truck.

Lt.Surge's eyes widen as he started to get up, "That one has Raichu in it... I can tell because I have my Pokeball marked-"

Mr.Taylor grabbed Lt.Surge's arm and pulled him back down, "Stop, we can't go in now."

"Why?" Lt.Surge quietly shouted as he didn't want to lose the chance of getting back Raichu.

"There's still too many around at the moment. We need to split them up. Let me see what I can do." Mr.Taylor reached inside his coat and pulled out a strange cloth the size of a blanket that took on the look of the background. "I can use my Invisibility Cloth to sneak in. Just sit tight." He said as he covered his entire body with the cloth, and started to crawl towards the truck.

"What's that?" One of the Team Rocket grunts guarding the truck could see something moving across the ground. "Why is the ground moving?.."

"Oh, no..." Mr.Taylor gasped quietly.

"I'm not sure, but I'm going to check it out..." Another grunt said, walking over to the weird spot on the ground and reached for it with his hand. "What?!" He shouted as he felt something soft, realizing it was a cloth and yanked it away.

"Hey! What are you doing here!" The other grunt said, pointing at the middle-aged man lying on the ground.

"Whoops, it would seem that my cover is blown...Come out, Arcanine!!" Mr.Taylor jumped to his feet, pulling out a Pokeball from his coat and releasing an Arcanine from it.

[Awooo!] A large Arcanine howled loudly into the air as it stepped in front of its trainer to protect him.

"Let's go!" Mr.Taylor shouted, hopping on Arcanine as it dashed away through the factory.

"Get them! We can't let him give away our hideout!" One Team Rocket grunt shouted just as half of them chased after Mr.Taylor leaving the truck less guarded.

(A/N: But they already know?)

"This is our chance! Let's get em, boys!" Lt.Surge shouted, hopping over the boxes and tackling the Team Rocket grunt who mocked his nephew to the ground.

Hard!

"Chaaarge!" The other three rough-looking guys under Lt.Surge said as they charged at the other grunts who were left behind.

"Who are these guys?!" One Team Rocket grunt said as he fought one Lt.Surge's lackeys.

"Isn't that Lt.Surge?!" Another Team Rocket grunt managed to recognize the giant blond-haired man that was currently beating one of their own as if they killed a loved one.

"F.u.c.k doing hand fighting!! Go, Koffing!" One of the grunts managed to kick one of Lt.Surge's lackeys off of him and released a Koffing.

[Koffiiiing]

The other team rocket grunts took that as a signal and released their own Pokemon to battle the intruders.

"You all are being shut down!!" Lt.Surge shouted after beating his opponent into unconsciousness. He then jumps into the trailer of the truck and comes back out with two Pokeballs.

"Come on out, Raichu! Electabuzz!"

[Raichu!... Rai?] Lt.Surge's Raichu looked as if it was ready to battle, but then it realized that it wasn't in the gym's battlefield.

[Electaabuzz!! Electa?] Electabuzz was still angry at its trainer for the way it was treated, but then it realized it wasn't his trainer that called him. However, he was extremely familiar Lt.Surge as he was the one that caught it after all..

"Raichu! Electabuzz! We have to defend the truck until the police arrive!

---------

Eric was still running away from the two Team Rocket Grunts and their Pokemon until they reached a more opened area.

Eric quickly turned around," Pikachu use Thunderbolt on Golbat!!"

[Pika! Pikachuuu!] Pikachu leaped off Eric's shoulder and used a powerful Thunderbolt on Golbat.

[Golbat!!] Golbat didn't expect it to be suddenly attacked, and it wasn't able to dodge the super-effective electric move. It fainted instantly.

"No! Golbat!!"

"Out of the way! Arbok, use Bind!" The other Team Rocket grunt shouted.

[Chaarrbok!] Arbok quickly wrapped its body around Pikachu and started to squeeze it tightly.

"Shit! Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!"

[Pi..kaachuuuuu!!] Pikachu used another Thunderbolt. However, it wasn't that strong due to it being squeezed so tightly.

[Eevee!] Eevee wiggles out of Eric's arms and charges straight for Arbok using a Quick Attack

"Wait! Eevee! Come back!" Eric said as he was about to call out Pidgeotto to help out. However, something unexpected happened.

"Arbok, stand your ground, and keep using Bind! Crush his Pikachu!!"

[Charbok] Arbok stood its ground, enduring Eevee's Quick Attack as it kept using Bind on Pikachu

[Pi...Pika..] Pikachu could barely breathe under Arbok's Bind and was close to passing out.

[Eevee?! Eeeevee!!] Eevee's eyes suddenly glowed with a blue light just as Arbok's body began to move on its own, unwrapping its body from Pikachu.

"Go! Pidge--Wait! Eevee, is that Psychic! That's only something an Espeon could use!"

*Ding!*
