Re:Rise of Team Neos

What amuses me though is that you both found this chapter to be funny. I was trying to go for a serious crowning moment of awesome with some shenanigans thrown in because the characters can never behave themselves. I guess I tried too hard

Yeah you tried too hard

*Smiles.* Sorry I fell behind in commenting, Psycho, but I see my suspicions proved correct. *Chuckles.* I'm also glad to see that things are moving along, in more than one way. Once again, you have written a fantastic chapter, my friend. It's interesting to see even more faucets of your characters, though. They seem all the more life like with every chapter you write.

[me=Psycho Monkey]digs his way out of his grave[/me]

I... I'm alive... Sadly not for long though. To account for my absence, I went back to college for Fall Semester only to find out I don't get internet in the room they gave me. It's also too much work to go back and forth between my room and the library on any given day especially the weekends when the library closes early.

That being said, I had resigned to my unnecessary banishment and planned my grand return for Thanksgiving break. That is until I realized that it would be more appropriate to have the Halloween chapter of Team Neos posted on, ya know, Halloween! Of course being the Pokemon World, I changed the name to Masquerade to differentiate the two universes. Different name, same concept. Enjoy!

Chapter 31: Masquerade

The 31st day of October. The day of the great Pokémon Masquerade where people dress up in costumes. Children go to the doors of random strangers and solicit candy and other treats while the adults attend parties. And what better place to be for a Masquerade party than the town of Lavender under the tower. Lavender Town was the focal point of spirituality and strangeness due to the ominous Pokémon Tower that loomed overhead making it a major hotspot for tourist activity this time of year.

Already the streets were lined with stalls people set up either to sell trinkets, food, or to host games. Poles were erected with orange lights hanging from them shedding an eerie glow on the night streets. Even more exciting, it was a Friday meaning people had no work or school the next day meaning they could really go all out this year! If only the full moon hadn’t been a few days ago. Then things really would have been fun!

What made going to the Masquerade all the more enjoyable was the fact that we were off for the night! The four of us finished a recon mission in the Pokémon Tower (which was probably the creepiest mission to date) two days ago and we decided to stay in town for the festivities. I say four because Raiden wasn’t with us. After he reported the betrayal that occurred at Cinnabar Port, Lt. Deter charged Raiden with the responsibility to eliminate them since they worked under him. Raiden decided to go after them alone as it would be less noticeable if only one person was tracking them instead of five. Plus he had other assignments waiting for us like the aforementioned Pokémon Tower mission. We would have fallen behind if all of us went after the traitors.

I wandered the streets with my team marveling at not just the attractions of the festival, but also the costumes people wore. The variety was indescribable. Some looked thrown together at the last minute, others were obviously generic store bought ones, and then you had the ones where you could tell the person spent time and effort planning their wardrobe for the evening. Axel and I were the latter.

Earlier that night…

“It’s time! Change… Now!” I yelled as I began stripping off my clothes and handing them to Axel. In turn, the monkey traded me a new set of clothes that I had been collecting over the past 358 days.

My new outfit now consisted of golden shorts with an armor like emblem at the bottom that looked similar to the armor on an Infirnape’s knees, blue shoes, white leg warmers going up to my knees that looked like fur, a long white sleeveless shirt that was frayed at the bottom, a white jacket that came down to the base of my chest lined with gold to look like an Infernape’s body armor, blue gloves with a gold plate on the back of each hand, a long gold sash tied around my waist and hanging off like a tail, and to complete my transformation, cloth headgear designed to look like a massive flame surrounded by messy white fur and a gold band to hold it all on. I had evolved into Axel!

In turn, my partner put on the clothes I just changed out of becoming me. Because Axel is a good bit shorter than I was, it was only natural that the shirt and pants were baggy on him. That is why used his tail like a belt by running it through the belt loops of my pants. One look at one another had us laughing at how silly we each looked in our respective costumes. What can I say? He and I are nothing but lunatics that want nothing other than amusement out of this world. We do a good job of finding it too if I do say so myself.

“This is probably the first time you’ve forced me to wear clothes that I’m actually enjoying it!” Axel laughed.

“Just make sure you remember to take off my pants if you want to do your business. I don’t want to find any surprises when I get them back.” I instructed playfully. Our fun was abruptly cut off by a knock at our bedroom door.

“Hey, are you done yet Brian? I still need to put on my costume.” Zack inquired from the other side of the door.

Sad truth: the apartment we rented this time around was a lot smaller than the ones we usually got consisting of only two bedrooms and one bathroom. Despite Zack’s protests, the girls shared a room, the guys shared a room, and there was a line for the bathroom in the morning. It was pretty cramped in the guys’ room too considering we both leave one of our Pokémon out of his ball.

“Yeah, we’re done. Have at it.” I responded opening the door to let him and Lloyd in while leaving myself. Zack gave me and Axel the once over with a comical grin at our appearances.

“Only you two.” he said affably. Lloyd gave us a thumbs-up before Zack shut the door behind them.

“Took you two long enough! Don’t you realize that the festivities start at sunset?” scolded Eve. Apparently the Masquerade is her favorite holiday so she is pretty meticulous about the whole thing. Everything has to be done right and on time or she will become more of a bitch than she already is.

Ironically, she was wearing a white one-piece dress that came down to her mid thighs, white knee high boots, white elbow length gloves, white feathered wings on her back, and a golden halo on her head. She was a freaking ANGEL!

“Wouldn’t it have been more appropriate for you to just go as yourself? I’m sure people would have instantly recognized you as the devil, or at the very least a demon.” I teased. To that she responded with a sarcastic laugh.

“Silly child. Don’t you realize you’re supposed to go as something you’re not for the Masquerade? Which is why you shouldn’t be dressed like a monkey, you should be dressed as my butler.” she chided.

“Tell you what. I’ll let you play dress up with me if you have sex with Zack.” I dared. Thanks to the paper thin walls this place has, Zack heard that last part and popped his head out of the door with a hopeful look on his face.

“Say yes!” he commanded.

“I’m not that desperate Kaguya. At least Brian had a costume for today.” Eve shot down causing Zack to retreat back into the room to finish changing.

Yes, unfortunately for Zack and Chane they had no costume for today. Therefore, to make everything perfect for her night, Eve took them shopping for costumes. They were not exactly pleasant ones either. She tried getting me to wear a butler outfit but I had Axel ignite the pants putting an end to that debate right there. Instead, the upper part that wasn’t burned went to Lloyd as he would be the only one not in a Pokéball without a costume at this point.

“I-I’m really n-not comfortable w-wearing this.” Chane said walking out of the girls’ room blushing because of very moe maid outfit she was dressed in. The way she was pulling down on the skirt part made it clear that she thought it was too short.

“Look, I told both of you that I wasn’t spending all day in the store. I gave you three choices and you said no to the bondage gear and the bunny suit I picked for you so you have to do the maid.” Eve said remorselessly.

“Trust me Chane. There will be so many scantily clad women at the festival tonight that only Otakus with a moe or maid fetish will notice you. Plus you have your Pokémon for protection so you’ll be fine.” I consoled.

“If you say so…” she answered warily still blushing and fiddling with the skirt.

When my and Zack’s bedroom door opened, the first out was Lloyd wearing a prim suit top and looking rather indignant about the whole thing. It must be a Pokémon trait to dislike clothes. Then came Zack wearing nothing but an orange speedo with black stripes and a white tuft of hair on the back to look like a Growlithe tail and coloration, shoes and gloves shaped like Growlithe paws, and Growlihe ears. No shirt. No pants. Alas poor Zack. Eve was practically crying with laughter as she approached him.

“Oh Kaguya! This is better than I could have imagined! Your red hair matches the costume perfectly!” she said gleefully as she started playing with his dog ears. Zack responded by groping her chest and feeling her up. As punishment, Eve kneed him in his exposed stomach.

“That’s not fair! You got to dress me like this and then play with me. I thought it would only be right to play with you back.” he coughed while keeled over.

“The difference is you’re my pet Growlithe. The master can pet the dog, but when the dog starts humping his master’s leg he gets neutered.” Eve said cynically. She pulled out a red leash attached to a red collar lined with metal spikes. “Time for your walk Kaguya.” she sang.

“I’m not wearing a leash unless you arouse me.” Zack defied.

“I’m not wearing a bra.” Eve said seductively walking closer to Zack.

“I noticed.” he replied cupping his hands. “Tell me something else.”

“Or panties.” she continued with erotic movements toward him.

“Ok, you win!” Zack submitted willing exposing his neck. Once the collar was applied, Eve smrked devilishly.

“I lied, I am wearing panties.” she admit shamelessly pulling Zack along. “Now let’s go! We’ll be late!”

Present Time

“That was so scary!” Chane trembled as we exited a haunted house that had been set up. It wasn’t really that bad though, just the standard fright-fest goodies: Frankenstein’s monster, vampires, Golbats, Ghost Pokémon like Haunter, Misdreavus, and Duskull, werehounds and their familiars Houndoom, and zombies. I will admit that there was one weird prop of a sarcophagus with red eyes and four black arms which was pretty startling when it jumped out at us. Too bad it looked absolutely fake.

“You wuss. You’d have to be ten to find that place frightening.” mocked Eve. “Honestly, things just stop being scary after a certain age.”

“I agree with that.” said some random guy walking past us. He had short black hair, brown eyes, dark blue jeans, and a black jacket with a fluffy white collar zipped up so I couldn’t see his shirt. The stranger had a sly smirk which put me on guard until I could figure out his motive. “The four of you should come with me, I’ll give you a real scream!” he invited.

“What’s the catch? There’s gotta be a catch right?” I asked suspiciously.

“Catch?” he repeated. He then started laughing very oddly. “You’re right! My whole plan was to pick you off one by one until it was just me and the blonde.” he admit sarcastically while dramatically throwing his arms out.

“Oh really?” inquired Eve as if what he said was a compliment.

“Yes. You are very pretty… for a Bidoof!” the stranger out right insulted before laughing again. I could almost see the anger veins appearing on Eve’s forehead.

“Excuse me!?” she demanded viciously.

“Ah you’re right. That’s an insult to Bidoofs to compare them to you!” he taunted laughing again.

“Dude, seriously, are you trying to pick a fight or something?” Zack demanded stepping in to mediate things.

“And now the boyfriend is getting involved. Great.” the stranger said uncaringly.

“I’m not her boyfriend, I just want to have a one night stand with her.” proclaimed Zack honestly.

“Thank you Kaguya.” responded Eve resentfully. Then out of spite she yanked Zack’s leash to not only pull him closer, but to also choke him in the process.

“Why are you being so mean? We did nothing to you.” asked Chane defensively. The guy just turned to her like it should be plainly obvious and she just wasn’t figuring it out.

“Because for Masquerade this year, I chose to go as myself. An internet troll! Username Teh Jack@$$!” he revealed proudly. While everyone else had confused looks, I actually started giggling at the whole idea. Lol Troll.

“I don’t get it.” Axel said flatly. I need to let him on the internet more often.

“So just because your mommy didn’t love you enough you have to seek our attention and waste our time? Pathetic. Just ignore him.” said Eve walking past him.

“Ignore this!” Jack declared grabbing Eve’s arm. He pulled her towards him and, to my complete disbelief, kissed her! Eve’s eyes went big from shock and she even remained frozen went the troll pulled away

“Ok, you just crossed the line their Troll Boy! I may be a perv, but at least I respect a woman’s boundaries!” Zack yelled angrily. I’m curious to know what his definition of boundary is. Because of the paw gloves, the best Zack could do was bitch slap the troll.

“Is that the best you can do?” questioned Jack. He then punched Zack hard enough in the face to knock his glasses off. Just to live up to his username, the troll stomped on the discarded eyewear. Zack’s mouth dropped open at the loud crunching sound of the lenses shattering and the metal bending.

“Aw hell no! You bastard!” he yelled at Jack. Zack threw off his paws and went in for a real punch this time, but there was definitely a reason he had been wearing those glasses in the first place for his attack fell short. The troll then grabbed Zack’s arm and pulled him to the ground.

“Oh no! I surrender!” taunted Jack dancing around my fallen comrade. He wasn’t laughing long as Lloyd stepped in to assist his trainer with a Water Gun.

“Aw I’m all wet now! I can’t troll when I’m wet!” he complained. “It was fun guys! See ya Bidoofus and Growleyes!” he called running away with a cheesy evil laugh. Rather than make that guy suffer, Axel and I silently agreed to let him go as helping our teammates was more important.

“Eve, are you okay?” Chane asked in a kind attempt to comfort her.

“I will kill him.” Eve said silently in a low voice. The fact that she had absolutely no emotion when saying that had me terrified beyond words.

“What about you Zack?” asked Chane going to his side to help him up. I guess she decided it would be safer to deal with him instead of the murderous one.

“Terrible! When did I get demoted from ladies man to butt monkey anyway? Whatever I did to make the universe hate me so much I’d like to know so I can make it up.” he rambled while collecting the fragments of his glasses.

“I’ll tell you what you did wrong Kaguya. God is a woman and this is karma for your lecherous ways.” Eve said venomously. I hope she’s just venting on him because that was harsher than he deserved.

“Actually, I’m pretty sure God is a genderless goat.” Axel interjected.

“Maybe you’re just having a bad October and things will be better for you starting tomorrow. You’ll see.” Chane encouraged optimistically.

“See? That’s funny. Sad to say I’m far-sighted so even though I can see distances, I can’t see what’s right in front of me. I can’t even tell if I’m getting a view or not.” he said disappointedly looking right between Chane’s legs. She pulled the skirt down to block his gaze.

“I was trying to help you too!” she scolded as her face turned red.

“I just told you I can’t see anything.” he replied coolly.

“Enough of the stupidness!” screamed Eve. “Instead of screwing around, you all should be hunting down Teh Jack@$$ so I can claim his head! Find him!”

“I know you’re pissed and all that the guy stole your first kiss and all, but he’s gone so there really isn’t much we can do.” I pointed out frankly. Before I knew it, Eve had her hands wrapped around my throat choking me. Surprised to say, she had a pretty strong grip making it extremely hard to breathe.

“For your information, that was not my first kiss, but it was still very much unwanted. Secondly, he still has to be around this festival somewhere! I will not allow any sin committed against me go unpunished. He humiliated me and he will pay, unless you would rather take his place!” she said darkly, squeezing tighter on the last word.

“No…” I choked. Satisfied with my answer, Eve released me. I took a very deep breathe to account for the lack of oxygen I had gotten in the last few seconds.

“We’ll split up into four groups. Brian and Axel take the East side of town, Zack and Lloyd take the North, Chane and which ever Pokémon of her choosing take South, and I’ll take West. Meet at the candy apple stand in an hour with results. GO!” she commanded violently.

“So what do you want to do?” Axel asked.

“Nothing. It’s Eve’s fight, we shouldn’t get involved. Besides, my policy for dealing with internet trolls back when I actually got on the internet was to just stay out of it. Don’t side with them, don’t side against them. Just watch the storm until it passes.” I explained.

“I’m with you. I don’t want him to do… things… to me.” said Chane with concern as to what Jack might do to her.

“I still want to find him to get him back for breaking my glasses. That was just overkill.” Zack declared. He passed his leash over to Lloyd. “Will you be so kind as to be my seeing-eye duck?” The Gloduck quacked in agreement as he took the leash.

“I wish you both luck then Zack. I’m just going to wander around until we’re supposed to meet up just so it actually seems like I did something.” I decided. “Come on Chane. Since you don’t want to get involved either, you’re with me and Axel.”
--------------------

An hour later we all met up at the candy apple stand as told. My group was the first one there because I wanted an apple dipped in caramel. They are so good!

“Report.” demanded Eve when we were all gathered together.

“We found nothing but a tasty treat.” I said dismissively taking another bite of the sweet goodness. Eve gave Axel and me a vicious glare that almost made me choke. I’m so glad she’s not the dragon of the team.

“I… I didn’t find anything either. S-sorry.” Chane stammered trying her best to lie.

“Unfortunately, nothing from me either.” said Zack disappointedly as he was the only other one who actually wanted to catch the guy.

“Dammit!” Eve screamed. Out of nowhere a guy on a motorcycle came from around the corner and drove through a nearby puddle getting mud all over Eve’s clean white costume. What’s more, the cyclist was not only wearing the same clothes as the troll, but he did the same obnoxious laugh as Jack as well. Bitch should have stayed hidden because he’s getting crucified now.

“He is dead! Nidoqueen! Earthpower!” roared Eve vehemently throwing down the Moon Ball containing her bipedal monster rabbit. The Drill Pokémon gave a loud roar as it stomped the ground hard enough to send a wave of dirt oscillating through the street like water in the ocean.

The wave ran under the motorcycle sending flying into the air. I heard Jack scream as he somersaulted through the sky until landing head first on the ground with a loud smashing sound. His bike landed on its side a few feet away and spun around a couple of times before stopping.

“What the hell!?” yelled Jack getting up. His helmet had been completely destroyed in the impact with the only injuries to the wearer being a cut on his forehead, messy hair and several tears in his clothes.

“Me, that’s what!” Eve called fiercely walking up to him with Nidoqueen at her side. Jack’s eyes got big with dread as he clearly sensed the danger he was in. “If you have Pokémon, I suggest you bring them out now as this could get very ugly if you don’t!” she advised maliciously.

“A battle eh? This should be quick if I use Poliwrath!” Jack called throwing a Lure Ball. Emerging in a white light was a tall blue Pokémon with a white belly adorned with a black spiral. The Tadpole Pokémon flexed its arm and gave a battle cry letting everyone know it was ready to fight. Like all battles in public places, this one was beginning to draw a crowd. If only they knew this wasn’t going to be a friendly fight.

“Silly boy. You think type advantage is going to help you? Nidoqueen! Flatter Poliwrath for how big and strong it looks!” she said cutesy like. And the nightmare begins. Nidoqueen began openly flirting with Poliwrath much to the latter’s confusion and annoyance.

“All you did was raise Poliwrath’s Special Attack! Put an end to this battle with Hydro Pump!” called Jack. The Tadpole Pokémon did as instructed by blasting a massive torrent of water from its mouth. However, thanks to confusion and the low accuracy of such a high powered attack, Poliwrath missed by a pretty wide margin laying ruin to a cabbage stand instead.

“MY CABBAGES!!” the vender cried in horror. I silently snickered to myself while trying not to get too distracted from the battle at hand.

“That is so rude! What do you have against cabbages?” Eve antagonized.

“They taste bad that’s what. And it’s your fault for confusing my Poliwrath anyway.” Jack retorted snarkily.

“And blaming me for your inability to properly control your Pokémon? Naughty boys need to be punished!” said Eve seductively causing Zack to squee with delight. “Body Slam them my dear!” she continued. The Queen of the Nidoran charged at her foes, smashing into Poliwrath with incredible force.

“I need to end this quickly then.” The Troll said trying to hide concern. “Increase the power of your water attacks with Rain Dance Poliwrath!” The Water-type instead punched itself in the face.

“Teehee, you’re so silly.” Eve giggled. “Let me help you with that. Use Rain Dance Nidoqueen!” Nidoqueen roared as she shook her body side to side. By whatever magic this world works with, that was enough to condense the clouds and make it rain. Since she was wearing white and didn’t want her clothes to become see-through, Eve casually walked under the cover of one of the stands.

“What the hell? Why are you being so nice? A moment ago you were trying to kill me and now you’re being so friendly! What’s your deal?” demanded Jack. Silly troll has no idea what he’s up against.

“I’m just trying to have a fun battle.” she responded innocently. “But if you’d rather me be the bitch…” At that she got an evil smirk. “Take your turn so you can at least say you tried.” Eve dared.

“If you insist on losing! Hit Nidoqueen with Waterfall Poliwrath!” he commanded. Poliwrath gathered a river of water under its feet, rose up with the water, and charged at the Drill Pokémon fist first. Despite getting hit with a punch and several gallons of water, Nidoqueen was only knocked back. Using her tail as a balance, the monster rabbit quickly sprang make to her feet.

“Unreal! That attack should have KOed you!” cried the Troll in dismay.

“Sweetie, you’ve only been fighting weaklings if you thought that weak attack would finish Nidoqueen.” Eve ridiculed. “Now since you wanted me to stop playing, end this with Thunder Nidoqueen!” Of course that was her game. She would never give an opponent an advantage unless she could also profit from it. Truly a devil in Mareep’s clothing. The Drill Pokémon’s body crackled with electricity before she released a whole world of hurt on the hapless Poliwrath.

“Endure the attack!” Jack called hastily. The Tadpole Pokémon was struck by Thunder, and while it came out singed and very weary, it was still standing. “Now bring her down to your level with Endevavor!” Both of Poliwrath’s fists began glowing white before it unleashed a relentless punching assault on Nidoqueen.

“You little punk! Finish Poliwrath with Earthquake now!” yelled Eve angrily. She must not have anticipated the tables to turn on her so quickly.

“Not so fast! Vacuum Wave Poliwrath!” Jack cut off. Just as Nidoqueen jumped in the air to cause the tremors, the Tadpole Pokémon thrust its hand forward sending a powerful fighting force at Nidoqueen both knocking her out of the air and unconscious. “Looks like I win. Sorry babe.” Jack taunted.

“How dare you!” Eve growled fiercely. “Avenge Nidoqueen Roserade!” she called sending out the Bouquet Pokémon.

“Hey now, I thought we were done!” said the Troll nervously.

“We’re not done until I say we are! Magical Leaf Roserade!” Eve commanded. Roserade held out her flowered arms shooting a wave of rainbow colored leaves at her adversary. Poliwrath fell over backwards from the force of the petal flurry.

“*Arg* Dammit!” yelled Jack in frustration. “You’re up Arcanine!” Appearing on the field was a large orange dog with black stripes, a shaggy white mane, a thick white tail, and a mouth full of impressive fangs.

“Oh hey look, it’s my evolved form.” said Zack playfully.

“You’re so stupid! Don’t you realize it’s still raining?” Eve pointed out as she caught drops in her hand.

“Arcanine can handle it! Show her with Flare Blitz!” Jack said overconfidently. Even an amateur could see Arcanine did not like being the rain. Even so, it obeyed its trainer’s orders by immersing its body in flames and charging Roserade at an incredible speed. Despite being a Super-effective attack from a strong Pokémon, the rain weakened it enough that the Grass-type easily brushed it off. Arcanine, however, seemed to have had more trouble. Aside from the recoil damage of Flare Blitz, the Legendary Pokémon also had a few poisonous thorns jabbed into by Roserade’s Poison Point.

“This can’t be!” the Troll cried in denial.

“That’s one of the things that make trolls so annoying. They can’t think and are incredibly dense.” sighed Eve with disappointment. “I better take advantage of the rain while it’s still here shouldn’t I? Use Weather Ball Roserade!” The Bouquet Pokémon gathered the falling raindrops into her flowered hands until they formed a pale glowing blue ball before thowing the orb at Arcanine. The canine whined in torment as the water ball exploded on it. Arcanine was afflicted with further agony as the poison continued to run its course.

“Surely Flare Blitz did enough damage that Roserade is on its last leg! Finish it with Extreme Speed!” commanded Jack. If I thought Arcanine was fast before, this time it looked as if the canine had teleported to where Roserade was leaving the latter on her back a few feet away. At the same time the rain came to an abrupt stop leaving behind nothing but puddles. Much to Jack’s horror, Roserade got back up although noticeably weaker now.

“I’m done with this match up now.” Eve said nonchalantly as she withdrew Roserade to her Pokéball. “Walrein seems like a better choice!” A large blue walrus with coarse white mane around his head, yellow eyes, and very long tusks coming from his upper jaw emerged from his Pokéball in the flower’s place. Jack was noticeable and justifiably scared.

“No matter! That is still partly Ice-type! Hit it with Flamethrower!” commanded the Troll. The Legendary Pokémon spewed a long tongue of fire at Walrein but the walrus just shrugged it off.

“My turn? Let’s see… I know! Use Avalanche Walrein!” called Eve lightheartedly. Her Pokémon wasn’t as forgiving. Bellowing loudly, the Ice Breaker Pokémon summoned up all of the leftover rain water, turned it into huge chucks of ice, and sent all of that crashing down on Arcanine. The Legendary Pokémon let out a weak howl as the attack coupled with the poison finally took their toll in knocking it out.

“Oh no way! That was my last Pokémon!” Jack conceited. Eve smirked evilly as she approached the Troll.

“No! Stay back! Don’t come any closer!” he warned in a panic. Eve ignored him. She didn’t stop until she was literally pressed against him.

“You said you wanted me? I’m all yours now.” she said seductively before kissing him. What. The. Fuck.

“You have got to be kidding me.” Zack said agitatedly which pretty much voiced mine and probably everyone else’s opinion. Clearly Jack felt the same way because as soon as he broke free of her, he took off.

“Don’t let my prey escape Walrein. Powder Snow!” she ordered. The walrus sprayed a cold wintry blast of air at the helpless troll knocking him to the ground. Eve returned Walrein to his ball and once again made her way over to Jack.

“What do you want from me!?” he demanded as he was once again in Eve’s clutches.

“To punish you for your crimes against me. Insults, sexual assault, and ruining my clothes. The Pokémon battle and kiss took care of the first two. Now it’s time for the second.” she said sadistically. “Follow me you three!” she called addressing us.
-------

“Hey! This isn’t funny any more! Let me go!” pleaded Jack. Eve had dragged him to Route 8, stripped him down to his underwear, tied him to a tree and was now lathering his body with peanut butter.

“Oh trust me, this is hilarious!” she said happily. “This is my treat for your tricks. There done!” she said satisfied with her work. Her green eyes were wide with delight to accompany her sadistic grin at the Troll’s struggling. “Just you wait Jack! Soon the wild Pokémon will catch your sent and will be all over you! Ahahahaha!”

“Let me go!” he begged fearfully.

“Relax. You still have your Pokémon for protection.” Eve said placing the Pokéballs under his feet just out of reach. “But your money’s mine.” she added taking all the cash out of his wallet and stuffing it down her shirt. “Nighty night!” With that we turned to leave.

“Hey! You three have to stop this! Untie me!” he demanded.

“Sorry but I can’t see very well.” Zack said sarcastically as he waved his hand in front of his eyes.

“And I stay out of situations that have no affect on me.” I admit carelessly with a shrug of my shoulders.

“I… I… Well you were pretty mean to my friends. I’ll tell someone in town that you’re out here at least.” Chane said kindly.

“No! Don’t go! You can’t leave me like this! STOP!” cried Jack miserably.

“It’s your own fault! You should never mess with me, especially on the night of Masquerade!” Eve yelled back to him.

For those curious This is the image I based Brian's cosplay off of except in Axel's colors.

Next chapter will the Raiden chapter as he's the only human character to not have the spotlight yet. That of course will be posted next month during my break. Look forward to it and leave comments so you don't miss me too hard! I will definitely make sure I have interwebz next semester. Until then...

[me=Psycho Monkey]leans back and falls back into oblivion.[/me]

An Avatar Reference? Sheezus Psycho, you're good. And Halloween is perfect for Eve. Keep it up!

Ahh it's good to see you back from Oblivion just for a bit at least.  Nice chapter very fitting.  Though I wonder what /B/ would say that a troll got beat up and tied to a tree

*noms cabbages*

Dirty Growlithes, assaulted Eve, Brian dressed Axel...this was just a funny chappie for sure.

Cabbages made me lol.

I also feel for the poor kids who find the remains of Eve's wrath in the morning. Is there anymore to Eve's personality than just being a very angry, vengeful she-devil?

Good to see you back Psycho, even if it is only for a spell.

I think I love you for that Avatar reference Brian. It just about made me fall out of my chair. I was torn between laughing at Jack and feeling really scared of Eve.

Glad to have you back Psycho, even if it was brief.

Hehe, I know I just got around to commenting, but that chapter was simply epic. I loved your ATLA reference, too. The cabbage merchant never gets a break, even in other fandoms. *Chuckles.* But that was simply hilarious. And while I knew Eve was spiteful before, its all the more obvious now. I'm sure that your demon girl has -some- redeeming quality, though. Surely at least one. *Sweatdrop.*

As always, though, I'm looking forward to your next installment.

Gee I am slow.

And here we have another great example of why we should fear Eve. That troll guy has my deepest sympathy - he just pissed off the biggest, bitchiest demon girl in the world... that also can completely screw with your head. I swear she has bipolar. One moment, she's ready to rip the guys head off, and the next she's kissing him. I like the idea of changing the name of Halloween, it gives a sense of having a semi parrallel universe.

Tons of fun this one. Come back from Oblivion soon!

It's the troll guy's fault for being a total a-hole in the first place y'know? XP

Hunnies, I'm home! 

Really, I am home where I actually get interwebz. Huzzah! Before I post the next chapter, which I know you all are just dying to read, I must get to the comments from the last one. It's rude to leave everyone hanging after all.

@Tatile and Moonzie: The thing about Eve is she's a sadist that gets joy out of the misery of others. While she is capable of kindness as seen at the end of Chapter 13 and Chapter 29, she usually hides the traits that she considers "vulnerabilities" because she doesn't want people to take advantage of her the way she takes advantage of others.

@Aura: She's not bipolar, you would be pretty wrathful too if someone molested you like that. During that hour reprieve, Eve had time to cool off and come up with a more psychologically violent vengeance for when she found Jack. Eve is quite cunning after all.

@Everyone: Yes, the Cabbage Merchant was a hilarious shout out to Avatar. With the scene being at a crowded festival, it would be naive to think that nothing would get damaged if a Pokemon attack were to miss. While I thought about which stand should be destroyed, the Cabbage Merchant popped into my head, made me lol hysterically, and so I threw it in because I could.

Also, did anyone notice that the Masquerade, held on October 31st, was the 31st chapter? I couldn't have planned it better if I actually tried ^_^

Chapter 32! Away!

The first thing you will notice is that this is the first chapter not told from Brian's snarky perspective. That is all I will say about that. To learn more, read on!

Chapter 32: Thunder’s Judgment

Raiden Arka’s search had been going on for over a week now, but it was finally at an end. After an unanticipated betrayal of three of Team Neos’s officers at Cinnabar Island, the Third Seat was charged with finding them for punishment as he had been their direct superior. The traitors, having presumed that Raiden was killed by Team Rocket and then fleeing to Canalave City, Sinnoh, believed that they were in the clear. It would only be a matter of time before the trio would realize how wrong they were.

To avoid detection by his marks, Raiden wore his long black hair down instead of the pony tail he normally kept it in. He also traveled in his civilian clothes consisting of faded black jeans, a faded long-sleeved denim jacket over a navy blue T-shirt, and brown hiking boots. Surely the fugitives would assume that potential pursuers would be dressed in Team Neos uniforms and traveling in larger numbers.

Raiden entered a bar located within the inner-city hoping that he could get a solid lead on the rogues rather than a general location of their whereabouts. He hadn’t noticed what the name of the bar was, nor did he care. It was irrelevant. Raiden shifted his eyes side to side scanning the area. This bar wasn’t as sleazy as the Left Atrium that his branch of Team Neos owned. It seemed respectable enough. It was a typical Sunday night crowd of everyday people who just needed one more moment of relaxation before going back to work the next day. That, and the game on one of the TVs above the counter that had a decent sized group of guys around it watching. The Third Seat doubted the trio would be in a place like this, but it never hurt to ask.

“What can I getcha?” asked the female bartender as Raiden approached the counter.

“Information.” he said producing a sheet of paper from his pants pocket that had three mug shots on it. One was of a brutish looking man with a wide face, a seemingly permanent scowl, short black hair, no eyebrows, and brown eyes. The second one was of a female with a bob cut black hair and brown eyes. The final one was of the trio’s commanding officer who had medium length bleached white hair and blue eyes. They were the Hunter Siblings. “Have you seen these three?” The bartender gave the pictures an inquisitive look.

“I have actually.” she answered after some thought. “They came in here not that long ago actually. I think they went to sit over there.” She pointed to her right toward the furthest corner of the bar. Raiden followed her lead narrowing his eyes in that direction. It was certainly an out of the way area that they wouldn’t draw much attention.

“Thank you.” he said appreciatively. Raiden got up, put the mug shots away, and proceeded in that direction. Sure enough, there they all were. Sitting, talking, drinking, and acting like nothing was wrong. The Third Seat casually walked over to the siblings and without saying a word, placed his hands under the table and flipped it spilling all of their drinks on them. The glasses that once contained those drinks were shattered upon impact with the floor.

“What the fuck is your problem!?” shouted Buck, the large muscular man in the first photo and the oldest of the siblings. His face turned white when he realized who he was dealing with. “Third Seat Arka…” he whispered in denial.

“You’re alive?” Marcy, the middle sister, questioned.

“We do not except resignations.” Raiden threatened. He was answered by the traitors each pulling out a Pokéball to which he responded in kind.

“Hey! If y’all are going to fight, take it outside! Don’t make a mess in here!” demanded the bartender who had come to see what all the commotion had been about.

“You heard the lady. We shall take this to the gutters where trash like you belongs.” decreed Raiden. He made sure that the traitors were the first ones out so as not to risk them escaping or attacking him while his back was turned. Of course, once they were all outside, the rogues wasted no time in surrounding their former superior to cut off all possible routes of escape as well as to attack from potential blind spots.

“Cowards.” Raiden belittled shifting his eyes to keep his adversaries in check.

“I’m impressed Arka. I didn’t expect you to get away from Team Rocket’s ambush. That must be some squad you put together for yourself.” commended Terrance, the white haired leader of the team. Despite being the youngest, Terrance was the smartest and most cunning between his brother and sister.

“Why did you betray us?” demanded Raiden. He would still show them no mercy, but he had to at least know what their motivation was.

“Survival.” Marcy said bluntly.

“Team Rocket ambushed us in what was supposed to be your mission in the first place. You so carelessly handed it to us. So after convincing the Rockets we just lowly grunts, we simply promised them a higher ranked member of Neos in exchange for letting us go. We knew someone as noble as you would be there in a heart beat to save your comrades.” mocked Terrance.

“And it worked too. You guys showed up and we got off scot free.” added Buck.

“For such shallow and selfish reasons you shall receive the maximum punishment.” declared Raiden.

“And what are you going to do about it? You’re all alone. It’s one against three.” Marcy taunted. “Take him out Gengar!” she called summoning a transparent purple demon with stubby limbs, spikes running down its back, and a murderous grin coupled with red eyes.

“Get ‘im Scizor!” Terrance yelled sending out a metallic red mantis Pokémon that had crab like claws, four wings, yellow eyes, and three horns on its thin head.

“Burry him Hippowdon!” shouted Buck releasing a large black hippo onto the field that had a very large mouth filled with bone crushing teeth and pores on its back that began excreting copious amounts of sand. At the sight of the monster, Raiden’s eyes widened, not out of fear, but out of annoyance.

“You dare use a Ground-type on me?” he said with disgust.

“Sure do! Everyone knows you only use Electric-types.” Buck said superiorly. “We got this in the bag.”

“Because I specialize in Electric-types it is a fallacy to think that I am not well prepared to deal with their only natural weakness.” warned the specialist. “Allow me to demonstrate with Raichu!” Emerging from his Pokéball came an orange furred mouse with a long black tail tipped with a lightning bolt, yellow cheeks, brown hands, and pointy black ears that were yellow on the inside and had twirled lobes.

“Ya think that little rat can take Hippowdon? Use Earthquake!” the brute commanded.

“Buck you fucking shit head!” Terrance yelled. “Iron Defense now Scizor!”

“Fly.” Raiden told his Raichu.

“Sucker Punch Raichu Gengar!” ordered Marcy.

Gengar dove into its own shadow, raced under Raichu, and emerged from the shadow to punch the Electric-type in the face while he was off guard. Raichu then crouched low and with incredible jumping power shot himself into the air. At the same time, Scizor’s body turned metallic silver as it hardened its exoskeleton in preparation for the immanent attack.

Meanwhile Hippowdon rose up on her hind legs and threw all of her weight into an attack that sent massive tremors throughout the area shaking buildings and knocking over trash cans. Scizor barely kept its balance through the ordeal and Gegar and Raichu only got out undamaged because of their Ability and their trainer’s quick thinking respectively. The four trainers weren’t as lucky as each fell to the damaged ground with varying degrees of panic. Raiden of course managed to keep his cool despite the danger.

“Dumbass! What the hell were you thinking? Are you trying to take us all out!?” reprimanded Terrance getting back to his feet.

“I’m sorry Terrance. I guess I just wasn’t thinking.” apologized Buck with his eyes lowered.

“Obviously. Don’t use that attack again! There are plenty of other Ground attacks you can use.” added Marcy.

“Well how was I s’posed to know the rat could fly?” defended the elder.

“Raichu is the Mouse Pokémon.” Raiden corrected flatly. “And his target shall be Gengar!” he declared pointing to the Ghost-type. At that moment, the Mouse Pokémon came falling from the sky right onto Gengar’s head stunning it momentarily. While Hippowdon was the greatest threat defensively as well as elementally, Gengar had the lowest defense of Raichu’s three opponents and that was a weakness Raiden was more than willing to exploit. The sooner a weaker opponent was removed, the more time and energy could be spent on the harder enemies.

“Payback Gengar!” its trainer commanded. Gengar returned Raichu’s attack with a swift headbutt to his forehead.

“Now strike with X-Scissor Scizor!” Terrance shouted. The Pincer Pokémon crossed its thin arms into an X shape and prepared to strike Raichu.

“Agility.” the Electric Master called quickly. By the time Scizor swung his attack down, all that remained of Raichu was an after image. “Counter with Charge Beam!” A few feet in front of the Steel/Bug Duel-type was Raichu who now had his hands cupped with a sphere of electricity forming in them. He then thrust his hands forward blasting Scizor with the beam attack.

“There is no way you can dodge this attack! Double Edge Hippowdon!” called Buck believing he had caught his foe off guard. Raiden barely acknowledged the charging hippo as he uttered his next command.

“Grass Knot.” The Charge Beam had only begun to dissipate yet Raichu was already waving his hands up and down to summon grass to grow through the cracks in the street left by Earthquake. The grass tied itself together on Raichu’s seemingly mental command making the Heavyweight Pokémon trip. Due to the nature of Grass Knot, Hippowdon’s own bulk was turned into a brutal weapon dealing severe damage to her.

“*Grr* How can you be this good!?” cried Buck in frustration.

“Because I am a Third Seat and you are weak.” he answered straightforwardly.

“Oh yeah? We’ll see how weak we really are! Team attack!” ordered the youngest.

“Terrance is right. If we all attack at once, Arka will have no where to run!” Marcy concurred gleefully.

“Then what are we waiting for? Use Stone Edge Hippowdon!”

“Shadow Punch Gengar!”

“Scizor! Attack with Night Slash!” they each shouted at once. The Shadow Pokémon’s fist took on a ghostly aura as it moved toward Raichu. Simultaneously, Scizor’s claws were surrounded in a dark energy while it also went in for the attack.

“No good! Flash!” commanded Raiden closing his eyes tightly. The Mouse Pokémon’s yellow cheeks started sparking, but instead of devoting energy to a powerful Electric-type attack, Raichu concentrated on a bright attack that blinded the siblings and their Pokémon. In the confusion, both the Third Seat and his Pokémon got out of the way as the three enemy attacks collided. Scizor was struck by Gengar’s Shadow Punch, Gengar received a Super-effective hit from Night Slash, and both Pokémon took severe damage from the sharp rocks Hippowdon had blasted long before the blinding Flash.

“Now finish them with Surf!” instructed the Electric-type Master. Appearing from the ground under Raichu’s feet was an intense stream of water that quickly grew into a tidal wave that Raichu then rode over his three opponents. By the time the traitors could see again, they were shocked to see the receding water and even more shocked to see their fainted Pokémon.

“Impossible! It’s three against one! How are we losing?” yelled Terrance in disbelief.

“I would like to know that myself. It is shameful to think you were once officers of Team Neos. You cannot even handle one man.” The Third Seat scoffed

“Don’t mock the Hunter Siblings! When the three of us fight together we never lose! Right guys?” Buck proclaimed in an attempt to boost his younger family’s moral.

“That’s right! We still have five Pokémon each meaning it’s really fifteen against six!” Marcy agreed. “That is why I’ll use Exeggutor now!” Appearing on the field to replace Gengar was a tall palm tree with a body made from sturdy brown bark, long green leaves coming from its head, and three yellow coconut shaped faces under the broad leaves.

“Let’s crush that rat Hariyama!” called the oldest replacing his Hippowdon with a massive tan Fighting-type Pokémon that had thick blue legs, a yellow skirt, and a large head with a blue bandana wrapped on it. Hariyama’s most notable feature was its gigantic orange three fingered hands.

“Then I’ll use Gallade!” announced Terrance sending out a slim Pokémon with white legs and hips, green bladed arms, a green torso, a white face, red eyes, green hair, and a blue blade like crest on his head. A red spike protruded from both Gallade’s chest and back.

“Before we attack though, how is it that you’re Raichu knows both Fly and Surf? I’ve heard that on rare occasions Pikachus can learn Surf and on rarer occasions Fly, but it is unheard of for it to know both.” Terrance pointed out.

“You are correct. But I told you, I have found ways to combat my Pokémon’s weakness to Ground-types. We mastered both through training.” revealed the Neos. “Now no further talk! Use Volt Tackle on Gallade!” In an instant, Raichu’s body was emitting so much electricity that his body looked like lightning itself. Couple with the incredible speed the Mouse Pokémon moved at, it appeared that Gallade had been struck by horizontal lightning rather than a Pokémon.

“Zen Headbutt Gallade!” the youngest sibling commanded his Pokémon. The top of the Blade Pokémon’s head began glowing a bight shade of blue. He then smashed his head into Raichu’s causing the Electric-type to flinch.

“The rat’s off guard! Attack with Arm Thrust Hariyama!” ordered Buck excitedly. The large Sumo wrestler esque Pokémon brutally pounded Raichu with its broad hands one after another leaving Raichu panting heavily.

“We’ve got it! Finish Raichu with Seed Bomb Exeggutor!” Marcy called victoriously.

“Not yet. Hit Hariyama with Iron Tail!” Raiden countered. As Exeggutor shot large grenade like seeds from the tree on its head, Raichu’s long tail took on a metallic silver sheen. He then whipped the Fighting-type with his tail before getting hit with Seed Bomb. “You did well Raichu.” his trainer praised as he was recalled to his Pokéball. Raiden then readied his next one to continue the battle.

“You won’t be sending out another one! Hariyama! Crush Arka with Brick Break!” Buck commanded ruthlessly. The Arm Thrust Pokémon charged forward, but Raiden wasn’t even the slightest bit nervous. Just as Hariyama thrust its arms out in what would have been a lethal bone shattering blow to a human, Raiden did a back flip avoiding the strike by a hair’s length. So close was the attack that Raiden could still feel the incredible force even though he wasn’t hit which caused his to fall of balance when his flip was finished.

“Get ‘im again!” Buck persisted.

“Not so fast. Thunder.” the Third Seat called. Hariyama didn’t even get a chance to step forward before the Pokéball Raiden had so tactfully left under its feet burst open. Appearing was a blue canine with a yellow mane that stood straight up and yellow fur on his ankles and hips that also stood straight up on end. The second it was released, the Manectric released an incredible Electric attack that knocked the sumo wrestler on its back a few feet away.

“How? I never saw you throw a Pokéball!” interrogated Terrance.

“I placed it down when I flipped. The fact that I had something round in my hands along with Hariyama’s incredible power caused me to lose my balance and trip.” answered Raiden. “Now Manectric, bite Exeggutor with Fire Fang.” The Discharge Pokémon roared as he ran at the living palm tree with fire coating his teeth.

“No you don’t! Stun Spore!” Macy retaliated. Exeggutor swished its head side to side releasing a yellow cloud of spores, but Manectric dodged left avoided the entire mist. He then bit the Coconut Pokémon’s leg causing to cry in pain. “Get it with Stomp now!” The angry Exeggutor lifted its tree trunk sized leg and slammed its foot down on Manectric’s skull and held it there so that its trainer’s brothers’ Pokémon could attack the Electric-type as well.

“Good job Marcy! Gallade! Attack with Slash!” Terrance called.

“And you get it with Vital Throw Hariyama!” added Buck. Raiden simply shook his head as all three Pokémon yet again assembled in the same place.

“Discharge.” he instructed. Manectric lived up to his species name by emitting a massive burst of electricity from his body in every direction. The humans of course were protected because they had unknowingly sent their Pokémon out as meat shields to take most of the hit.

“Endure Hariyama!” shouted the elder knowing full well that Hariyama would otherwise not survive the attack. He was proven right when the sumo wrestler fell to its knees with the other two Pokémon in fatigue allowing Manectric to get away from them.

“No way! You aren’t winning that easily Arka! Use Psycho Cut Gallade!” Terrance ordered. Gallade’s arm blades took on a blue glow as it ran at Manectric.

“Bite.” Raiden told him. The canine bit down hard on the Blade Pokémon’s attacking arm, but the latter retaliated with a Psycho Cut with his other arm leaving a nasty gash on Manectric’s face and shoulder.

“Hit that mutt with Leaf Storm now Exeggutor!” commanded Marcy. Exeggutor shook its head side to side blasting an intense flurry of leaves from its head. Gallade took that as his queue to jump out of the way to let the onslaught of foliage hit its mark.

“Don’t count me out! Brine!” Buck followed up. Hariyama clapped its hands together then opened them palms out to launch a torrent of salt water at its enemy. Manectric howled as the salt got in his wounds before collapsing. The Third Seat wordlessly returned his fallen Pokémon and readied another Pokéball.

“End this Electabuzz.” he commanded throwing the sphere. Appearing was a medium sized bipedal Pokémon with yellow fur, jagged black stripes, a long tail with alternating yellow and black bands, thick arms, two fangs coming from his mouth, and two ball tipped horns.

“He’s already down two! Let’s keep up the pace! Gallade! Use Close Combat!” Terrance motivated.

“Thunder Punch.” Raiden said simply. Just as Gallade engaged Electabuzz in combat, the Electric-type punched him with a fist crackling with electricity. The Blade Pokémon fell backwards unconscious.

“Attack with Wood Hammer Exeggutor!” yelled the middle child.

“Low Kick.” Before Exeggutor could slam its wooden body into Electabuzz, the Electric Pokémon swept his feet under the tree causing it to trip and faint itself under its own weight.

“Hariyama! Hit Electabuzz with Force Palm!” Buck ordered.

“Charge Beam.” Electabuzz gathered copious amounts of electricity into his cupped hands. He then drove his arms forward sending a powerful beam of lightning at Hariyama also taking it out of the fight.

“You gotta be kidding me!” rejected Buck.

“Afraid not.” Raiden said pulling a pair of black rubber gloves from his pants pocket.

“Well no matter, we still have twelve Pokémon between us! You still don’t stand a chance!” Marcy bragged.

“Wrong. I have had enough of this foolishness. It ends now.” he decreed pulling out an Item Ball. With the press of a button, the sphere burst open to produce a long spear. The shaft of the spear was black with yellow lightning bolt patterns on it. The bottom of the shaft was tipped with a spiked blue ball. The blade was fang shaped and shiny silver in color. Connecting the blade to the shaft was a blue X shaped crest that also held a long purple ribbon that flowed like a cloud and was almost as long as the shaft. When held vertically, the spear stood 6ft 3in, which was approximately five inches taller than Raiden. This weapon was named for the same creature it was designed after: Raikou.

“What is that!?” Terrance cried in alarm of the formidable weapon.

“This is my Raikou. Electabuzz, Thunder.” Raiden commanded. Electabuzz sent a powerful burst of electricity from his body into the metallic spear. The only thing preventing Raiden from being electrocuted was his gloves.

“You can’t! You’re actually going to kill us!?” screamed Marcy.

“Spare your remorse.” Raiden refused before slashing Marcy from her shoulder down into her torso. Due to the electricity coursing through the spear, every swing sounded like thunder; just like the legendary Raikou’s cry. The electrical charge also ensured that those executed by the blade would die as they would be electrocuted from the inside.

“Marcy!” screamed Buck furiously. “You bastard!” The brute roared running at Raiden from behind. All the Third Seat had to do to stop him was pull the spear out of his sister and, without even turning around, thrusted the shaft upward so as to hit Buck in the jaw. While the big guy was momentarily stunned, Raiden spun around and sliced open his stomach with the blade.

“Not Buck too!” cried Terrance. He didn’t get a chance to say any more before the butt of the spear smacked him in the face knocking him to the ground. The youngest held his bleeding face staring at Raiden with hatred. “You killed them!” he yelled.

“I told you, we do not accept resignations.Traitors will receive the maximum punishment. You and your siblings brought this upon yourselves.” Raiden said condemningly stabbing Terrance through the heart. The last thing Terrance ever saw was the wrathful silhouette of the real Raikou imposed over the spear of the same name.

Raiden wasn’t fond of doing such a dirty job, but someone had to and he was the one given the order. Anyone who would willingly betray their own comrades had no place in the utopian world Team Neos was trying to create.

Once he was sure the rouges had been eliminated, he returned Raikou to its Item Ball and shook his hands a few times. Even with the gloves, holding something carrying that much voltage still made his hands feel numb. After the feeling returned, the Third Seat recalled Electabuzz to his Pokéball. Next, he pulled out his cell phone and pressed 1 on the speed dial. After a few rings there was an answer.

“Captain Ross speaking.” answered a female voice on the other end.

“Captain, this is Third Seat Raiden Arka. I have just dispatched three traitors and am requesting a clean up crew.” Raiden explained professionally.

“Raiden, you know you should be reporting this in to Lt. Deter, right?” inquired Captain Ross indifferently.

“You are correct. However, Lt. Deter would then have to report in to you to request for a clean up crew. I know it is against protocol, but I was merely trying to cut out the middle man.” justified Raiden.

“Ha! More like the ‘little’ man.” the Captain laughed. For whatever reason, Captain Ross and Lt. Deter didn’t get along. Arguments usually went in the Captain’s favor since she had rank and seniority. While Raiden didn’t like members of Team Neos disrespecting one another like that, it would be just as disrespectful if he scolded someone of a higher rank than him for such a frivolous reason.

“Anyway, my coordinates are inner Conalave City, Sinnoh. The bodies are in an alley between 33rd and Main.” he continued.

“Alright, a squad will be sent to get rid of them. I’d advise you to get out of there just in case the police get their before our people do.” she informed.

“Yes Captain.” Raiden said obediently. He put his phone back in his pocket after hanging it up. With that he left the scene of the crime to return to his squad. Then a very disturbing thought crossed his mind.

“I sure hope those four have not caused any trouble.” he mumbled.
*****************

Want to know the scary part? Raiden isn't even the most powerful member of Team Neos! Third Seat isn't exactly that high on the food chain when you think about it.

I knew that Electric types were badass, and this proved it! Raiden was awesome, and taking out opponents with a freaking spear is epic in a whole food chain of epic.

And to say that he's only Third Seat is a pretty scary thought. O_o

Remind me NEVER to mess with Raiden. He's cool, but very very scary. Now I really want to see what a higher up would be capable of.

Raikou... that is a freaking awesome spear! As awesome that I've ever heard of before. And if it wasn't awesome enough just as it is, you can chuck an electric current in it, just to add to its deadliness.

Having it from another persons perspective is a good break from the insanity of Brian's mind. I've noticed a few things about Raiden in that little huge chapter.

Yay Psycho's back!

Wow... I always thought Electric types were cool, but Raiden just pushed them (and himself) quite a few notches above cool. And the fact that Raiden isn't even the strongest one... Team Neos has now officially scared the crap out of me. I really want to see who can be a better battler than that... :x

Weeds, may I direct you to my Creative Writing Thread. Read Warrior From An Unknown Land. They are the Leader of Team Neos and his second in command duking it out with swords! Since I wrote that for a class I cut out the Pokemon battle because the story was already longer than it should have been.   But if Strife and Arthias were that good at hand to hand combat, just imagine what their Pokemon could have done!

So then it's agreed Raiden=BADASS.  Also on a sorta related note I'm gonna try and beat a Pokemon game with mostly electric types now.

I acutally read it right after you posted it It was really epic to say the least, but it wasn't the same thing when there wasn't any Pokemon involved. Still, looking forward to later on when we get to see those guys in battle. I actually gave a slight shiver of anticipation there

Terrance made me laugh. I have to say, there must be some version of the Yellow Forest in your universe for Flying Pikachu to exist.

Now, I want the blueprints to Raikou. I need to build my own.
