Mt. Moon. This section is interesting, particularly because I needed to re-design Routes 3, 4, and Mt Moon's layout a bit to get the desired effects for this story. Alot of world-developing stuff is to be set up here.

Perkūnas' tail twitched in anticipation, looking with concern back up at the sky. What had been a bright and sunny morning had gave way to a dark overcast afternoon. Distant rumbles of thunders could be heard in the far distance, and such noises had spurred the trio on faster.
Eon was on her trainer's shoulder, front paws and upper body draped over while her tail swished back and forth. He extra weight forced him to walk with a slope in his shoulders, but still kept up easily with his newly evolved pikachu. Jupiter was currently within his pokeball, resting after earning a hard-fought victory against a Lassie and her Nidoran. However, while Takuya had originally been betting that this trip on Route 3 would be a great source of extra income, considering that trainers form Pewter and Cerulean city often gathered here to battle, she had been the only human noticed on the route.
“I don't get it. Did EVERYONE check the weather channel last night except me?”
Even the number of wild pokemon he had found was minimal, and most of the battles were quick to cover and quick to heal also. Takuya didn't capture anything, before leaving on his journey he swore that the only pokemon he would catch were those that he believed could be trained into powerful warriors or needed a better chance at life. His tactics were normally to 'beat' the pokemon within an inch of unconsciousness, then call off the attacks and repair any injuries done with whatever tools he had on hand in his backpack. Setting it off into the wild afterwards wouldn't be much of an issue.
“Vee!” The teenager took his mind off the resounding pain in his feet for a second, noticing what had gotten the female on his team suddenly excited. “A pokecenter? Away from a main city?” He smirked inside. “I need a place to get good shelter from this storm! It'll probably work well.”
Temporarily ignoring his pain, he quickly hustled to the front doors of the center. He expected them to open like normal, sliding open. You can imagine his surprise as he skidded to a sudden stop, putting both hands on the glass panes. “Why the hell...?” He took a look to a paper, put on the door from the other side. “This pokemon Center is currently receiving no more visitors. As the region of Kanto is under a severe weather warning from Typhoon 13, it is highly recommended that any travelers either journey to Cerulean or Pewter city for refuge. We will re-open to service your needs when the worst of the typhoon has passed.”
“Well...f*ck. Even when I get to Cerulean City, I have no guarantee the Gym will be open if It's taken any major damage.” He stepped back, thumbing his nose as a gust of wind blew by quickly. “But where to rest? I don't know if I can hustle it to Cerulean-”
Sirens from a small tower on the pokecenter's roof suddenly began to blow. “OUCH!” Perkūnas and Eon also reacted negatively, the pikachu grabbing it's ears while the brown furred creature laid it's ears back in distaste.
“Shit! Shit shit shit shit shit, SHIT!” The sirens wouldn't just sound for no reason. They would only go off it the situation required it, usually for a tornado warning, flood warning, or other severe weather warning. He looked around, trying to see if there was anywhere he could take shelter from what was looking to be a quickly closing storm.
A large flash of lightning in the distance lit up the sky, and his gaze fell onto the dark nearby entrance of Mt. Moon. “No...” Another flash of lightning and strong gust of wind blew through, this gust laden with the smell of a strong storm, one that he was quite accustomed to coming from Vermillion. He weighed his options, and broke down.
“Eon, Perkūnas, to the cave! NOW!” The trio broke into a fast run, just as the skies above opened up and rain began pouring down on the group. Quickly they scaled the short rocky walls to the main entrance, trying to take cover before the worse parts of the storm came after them. They made it in shortly, and just as they did they were met with the sound of a powerful lightning strike. The trio turned to look outside, seeing a greyish-brown smoke curling up in the distance against the dark green and black clouds. It was likely a fire had started from a lightning strike.
“That settles it. We're staying in here for the next two days or so.”
“Vee...”
“Relax. The only lightning I'd worry about down here would be from Perkūnas...unless you suddenly evolve into a female Jolteon without a thunderstone.” The human crouched down, sliding his backpack off to begin digging within it. “Flashlight...flashlight!” He pulled out a small 4 inch cylinder with a soft rubber button at the end. Imagine the surprise to his pokemon as the machine suddenly illuminated the surroundings almost like the midday sunlight.
“Let's go. If we're going to get to Cerulean in a decent amount of time, we might as well shortcut through this mountain and see if there is any suitable resting spots in here, and come out the back end onto Route 4 later.”
With such a bright light illuminating the way, the group descended deeper into the caves, leaving the sounds of rain and violent thunder behind them. “At least we won't be assaulted by Digglets and Dugtrios.”
They group traversed down the cave into the heart of the mountain for several hours, looking for any suitable place to stop or rest. Although the entire time Takuya had a different idea plan. He knew that there were some assorted Clefaries within the mountain, and due to how evasive and difficult they were to catch, it would make a fine addition, likely due to it's rarity.
His concentration was broken as several rocks landed on his head. His gaze shifted upward suddenly, observing several more pebbles sprinkling onto his face like a trickle of water. Perkūnas made a noise akin to laughter. “It's not that funny.”
“Clecleclecle!” Another laughter like noise could be heard up above, and on a stone cliff next to the ceiling, he could see what caused the somewhat laughable incident. A pink clefairy sat atop, pushing some stones off the ledge and onto his head, laughing all the while.
“Your gonna get it now! Perkūnas, thundershock it!” An electric discharge traveled up toward the small cliff, and upon impact, split that section of earth asunder. But it was for naught, the chubby pink pokemon had bounced onward, twirling on a secondary cliff.
He gritted his teeth. “After it! We can't let it escape!” Quickly, he ran off in pursuit, only broken by short climbs downward he had to make from higher plateaus onto lower ones. All the while, their target continued hurling rocks at the group, laughing the whole time.
“Get back here right...”
Without warning, the chase came to a stop, the fairy type leaping away. Eon skidded to a sudden stop, looking at her master as he froze in place. Perkūnas unleashed another thundershock at the creature, but the dust and debris that was released from the impact hid the fleeing creature, forcing him to even ditch the chase.
“...what...Who...” Takuya suddenly fell to his knees, blankly starring at the ground. “I...” He stayed silent for a few seconds. “Jupiter...Eon?”
“Vee?”
“I was going traveling on Saturday...no, I had just got the stone badge. Perkūnas evolved...And we jumped into here from the typhoon.” He stood back up as his two freed pokemon came back to his sides, an expression of concern and confusion across their faces.
“What happened? I was chasing that annoying thing and next thing I know...I was trying to remember everything.” Takuya felt his head, gingerly going over his temple which still had a cover over the stitched-up wound. “...could this have been an aftereffect of the concussion? Did I...damage something back there?”
- - - -
A steady drip-drip noise was the long sound within the deeper sections of the cave. It was the only thing that broke the silence, well, that and Takuya's deep slow breathing as he continued to sleep within the deeper parts of the cavern. Time had pretty much lost meaning, partially because there was no sunlight to keep track of time in the deeper darker portions, and partially because he didn't even have a watch.
He merely found a place that looked comfortable enough, recalled his pokemon, and dozed off. While under normal circumstances he would have let them out to sleep along side him, the last thing he wanted to do was loose any of them in the dark tunnels. He'd never find them there. IN fact, even he went to sleep a bit uneasily, knowing that shortly after his memory-black out, he got lost also. To ensure he wouldn't lose anything, he merely took his pack off and rested his head on it, the underground sections of the cave warm enough to warrant no need for any covers.
The steady rhythm by the natural water sound was interrupted by a much louder one. A repeated click-click-click-click noise could be heard, and as he was a light sleeper, the teenager woke up, unsure of his return to reality as everything was so densely dark. Even after rubbing his eyes several times, he needed to feel his surroundings to ensure that everything was still fine. Reaching between his legs, he grabbed his light, and prepared to turn it on when...
Voices. More then just the steady click-clack of the boots could be heard in the distances, voices has now also started echoing within the chamber. Their distance, while closing, was still plainly enough to muffle the voices that were bouncing off the chambers. Takuya stood upright, reaching behind him and awkwardly putting his pack back on him. Someone else must have come beneath ground also!
Illumination was the next thing that affected the male, as it slowly came in, illuminating the cave dead-end that he was in, and the path that it branched off of. Some of the white and blue stalactites and stalagmites shined in the yellowish light, and Takuya gripped his light carefully, not wanting to startle whoever else was down there with him in the depths of Mt. Moon.
“-them good. They'll never come back from that.”
“The rain will put out and obscure the smoldering ruins. It'll take weeks just for anyone to realize what happened.”
The trainer gritted his teeth, watching two adult males with large 'R's on their shirts walked by, covered in black. One was holding a lantern just in-front of his face, the other had some sort of weapon slung over his shoulder. He wasn't able to identify what type, as weaponry was unfamiliar to him. However, if Team Rocket was down here, they surely also had to leave at some point also, and with that in mind, he held back his desire to strike out against the criminals.
“But once they do find out what happened, they'll know we mean serious business, and that was just the first part of our activities unless there are some changes.”
The two men gave a low laugh as they passed by Takuya. It helped that he was backed all the way up against the back wall of the alcove, and their focus was straight ahead. As they passed by, Takuya took several quick steps toward his targets, his sore feet dancing atop the uneven surface after them.
Their slow pace ensured that he wouldn't lose them, and even after awhile he had to admit that this was a strange situation. A criminal organization that was supposed to be dead, now leading to possible freedom from the rocky underground maze. That, and it felt like he was doing a Tactical Espionage mission. “It's like I'm Snake...”
Several minutes passed as the trio continued to journey farther and farther down the tunnel. Eventually, the 'total cave darkness' effect that was only being neutralized by the lantern held by the Rocket grunts changed to a dull darkness, and even from then mutated into something akin to normal indoor light.
“We're back! Place is torched and everything!”
“Good job. We've got everything needed, once this storm blows over we'll ship out.”
“The eye of the thing passed over us several hours ago. Another day down here, and we'll easily make it out of here with good news for the leaders.”
“Great. Now we just need to wait another day or so.”
Takuya turned the last corner to the fully illuminated corridor. Several lights hung from the ceiling, and the section that the criminals were all gathered was a bowl-like depression in the middle of the path. The depression was at least 6 feet deep at it's lowest point, and had to be some 25 feet wide. In the center was a group of various spaceblankets and other camping equipment. One of the men were roasting a hot-dog over what looked to be a small container of fire, the material inside must have been extremely hot and durable, almost like a portable stove.
But what really caught the teen's attention was a large machine, which was sitting to the side of the basin. While it was currently turned off, the purpose of the machine was plainly a generator. It had to be enough to power up to 25 houses! It was at least 2 or 3 meters high and half a city block wide!
“Hey you! How did you get here!”
Takuya's attention snapped to the center of the basin, as the four criminals all suddenly stood up, and now he could tell it was actually three men and a woman, the pronounced bust giving that away.
“I've been trapped inside of this mountain for about a day and a half, since the storm showed up. May I ask what you criminals are doing here?”
Two of the men through their heads back in a roaring laughter. The woman merely crossed her arms. “Same, only we came here willingly.”
“Probably because you knew the Pokemon Center just outside the mountain would have you arrested.”
“For your information that place would have closed down under this wea-”
“HEY! That's the kid that kicked the shit out of me and my teammates!” One of the grunts stood up suddenly, pointing an accusing finger at the teen. Takuya blinked, realizing that the situation just went from bad to worse. Not only did this person identify him, but he also was the one with the weapon slung over his shoulder.
“This kid?”
“He's not all! He's got a Jolteon that tore the shit out of my partner's Sandshrew, type disadvantage and all!” The man slid the weapon's strap off his shoulder, balancing it in his hands and pointing it at the trainer. “I never let a debt go without repaying it.”
“Whoa. Marcus, relax.”
“We were sent here to wipe out the population of Mt Moon Square, and we did that. I'm not having a punk try to take me out again.”
“Come on down little boy.” The female remarked. “Maybe it's time you kissed and made up for your assault on our team member.”
“Don't let him get close! He must be a karate freak or something! How else do you think Shinoda got his face all tore up!?” He aimed the weapon right at him. “This boy dies here and now.”
“Actually, it's Tae Kwon Doe, from the old nation of Korea back when it wasn't a Chinese and Japanese split state. And before you kill me, wouldn't you want to get more acquainted with me?” Takuya raised his arms above his head, interlacing his fingers and cracking the joints in his arms. However, any closer observation would show that he was shaking in his feet. He didn't have the tactical advantage of surprise, they were armed with weapons and would likely also have pokemon. Even if Eon was a capable fighter on the level of Jupiter or even Perkūnas's upgraded level, they'd still be outnumbered.
“Don't listen to him! I'm gonna burn him right where he stands!”
“A barbeque?” The teen tried sounding confident, relying more on his own voice supporting him then demoralizing the men. “I've not had one for several months. Hard to beat a good BBQ from across the ocean like my mom's. But I'll gladly join you. Let me come on down!”
He jumped off the edge, slamming both of his feet onto the curved portion of the basin. Gravity began sliding him down. As he came down, the vengeful criminal pulled the trigger, and a stream of flame ejaculated from the weapon, shooting just over his head. Takuya ignored the heat as he reached onto his belt. “Jupiter, Perkūnas come out!” He held the balls out in front of him, pointing them right into the midst of the group. Just past an instant later, the two electric types stood in the center of the group, readying for a fight. “Jupiter, take out the one with the fire! Perkūnas, get the big guy!”
Reaching the bottom of the basin, Takuya rushed forward, heading straight toward the average looking male. He threw a huge sweeping roundhouse punch at the teen, but Takuya threw his arm up at a 45 degree angle, blocking it. With his other fist he plowed into the man's face, the sound of teeth slamming together crudely interrupting the criminal's train of thought. The man stumbled backwards, grabbing his jaw in pain. The trainer cupped his hands, slamming them over the ears of the male in an effort to force air into his ears and damage the canal. Quickly, he followed up by bringing his hands and the man's head down into his knee, rendering him unconscious.
Jupiter bit onto the arm of the familiar man, sinking his teeth through the black cloth. He screamed in pain, but it did nothing to alleviate the pain of the bite. Without further prodding, he discharged a large amount of electricity into his target, sending the man into spasms and collapsing onto the ground, dropping the flamethrower. Jupiter snarled, turning his attention to his fellow electric type.
Perkūnas discharged a large bolt of energy at the large man instantly. While it did slow him down a bit, it was absolutely ineffective. “Silly pikachu. Who do you think they got to turn off the generator?” He held up his hands, covered in rubber gloves, and in the same way, his feet had rubber soles and support. There was no point of conduction. IN addition, the man grabbed his shirt, and tore it off, revealing a thick rubber jacket beneath it. “Come at me little one. My type EAT mice like you for breakfast!” The yellow and red pokemon froze for a second, fear once again coming over it as the larger man drew closer. This time, he didn't have his trainer's legs to hide behind.
“Pika...CHU!” The electric mouse leaped upward, dragging his front claws across the man's face. He screamed was thick with startle and a bit of pain. However, the small mouse type didn't stop there. It's tail turned a shiny white, and with a quick turn around, he cut the man off at the heels. Blood was drawn as the attack cut the man's left heel. He screamed in pain, falling down to his back. Perkūnas leaped ontop of the person. His entire body was grounded now, and a simple electrocution should take care of the situation.
“No you don't! Ekans, Zubat, Rattata! Knock these guys back!” The three pokemon shot out from the balls on the man's belt, surrounding the pikachu. The mouse type let go of the man, it's attention divided by the three separate offenders.
Jupiter leapt forward, tackling the bat-like dual type and pinned him to the ground, attempting to neutralize any threat it would prove before it became to late. The Zubat cried out several supersonic waves in defense, but the Jolteon's focus was squarely on the pinned flying/poison type.
Takuya threw a punch at the woman's face, only for her to throw her arm in the way and deflect it to the side. In her other arm she opened a switchblade, attempting to stab the younger teen somewhere in the chest. As she lurched her arm forward the male threw his leg up, arcing it at it's highest point and smacking her hand with the side of his foot, knocking the knife onto the ground. Before she could begin to react, the trainer shifted his body-weight and position toward his back, pulled his leg up to his chest, and then shot a powerful sidekick right into the female's solar plexus. The sound of the wind getting knocked out of her echoed within the basin, and she collapsed backward, gasping for breath.
Perkūnas took a cautious step back as the snake-like pokemon reared up, hissing at it's opponent. He begin to store energy for another blast within his cheeks, only to get cut off as the Rattata behind him knocked the yellow and red to the ground, chattering and ready to perform serious damage.
“Ekans! Wrap him up! Ratta, when that's done, rock smash him!”
The purple coils began to constrict around the much smaller electric type, and even though the pikachu repeatedly attempted to squirm out of the situation, the familiar body-encompassing situation took hold again. It's struggle for release quickly devolved into familiar cries and screams for escape.
Rattata didn't just stand by idly. While it ignored the pleas of it's bat-like partner, the normal type picked up a medium-sized stone nearby. The damage of such a move would be minimal to most pokemon if not for the fact that the Pikachu was being slowly suffocated. Such an attack could be a one-hit kill.
“Tackle him before he gets that finished!”
Rattata was knocked to the side, skidding atop his left arm for a while before shifting it's weight and landing back on all four feet. Where it had stood mere moments earlier, Eon, freshly freed from her pokeball, stood, huffing after being called to fight so quickly. The two normal-types stared each other down, anticipating the next move. Eon looked over her shoulder to see Takuya flexing his arm, glaring at the battle before him. There was only one man left, and while he was still on the ground, all three of his pokemon would be capable of killing him if he lost even one of the battles.
“Jupiter, Thundershock that Zubat! Eon, blind your enemy with a sand-attack! Perkūnas, shock him!”
The Jolteon promptly did so, grabbing the flying type by the right wing with his mouth, tossing him into the air, and lighting him up with another powerful burst of electric energy. Zubat might normally be a competent type pokemon, but it's opponent outclassed him in sheer type advantage. With that, it was rendered unconscious, removing it from the 3 on 3 match.
Eon skidded just in front of the Rattata, kicking up dirt and dust into it's opponent’s face. Rattata attempted to charge head-first into the cloud, but Eon had already skirted to the side by this point. The purplish pokemon skidded to a stop, looking for his seemingly missing opponet. Quickly, he was granted with a tackle from the side by the Eevee.
“Rattata, bite down on it with hyperfang!”
“Eon, Get ready to whip him with your tail!”
The brown-and-white quadruped raised her tail to prepare for a hard strike, and shifted her rear body to hit the incoming attack. The time taken to ready for the attack was enough for the Rattata to already begin rushing the opponet, intent on chewing it out. “Dodge and whip him as he goes by!”
Rattata utterly missed as Eon turned on her front legs just at the moment the command was given. The two briefly made eye-contact before the bushy tail circled around first, slamming the opponent in the right rear flank. This was enough to take the Ratta out of the battle, and he collapsed to the side.
Perkūnas didn't heed the instructions. Fear and dread, along with the crushing pressure around his ribcage, prevented him from countering or defending. “Jupiter! Thundershock him! Eon, tackle the snake! We've got to get Perkūnas out of there!”
“Ekans! Poison Sting that little twerp!”
Takuya looked up to see that the man wasn't pointing to the Pikachu, but to him. The teen's eyes widened in fear, and he stepped back as the snake-like creature darted toward him. “Shimatta...” IN an instant, Perkūnas was released in favor of the much larger human target. He raised his arms, hoping to shield any major arteries from a bite so he could preserve his life. Jupiter and Eon both tackled the creature in the side as it arced through the air, but it was ineffective at altering it's dead-set course.
The male was knocked onto his back, both hands wrapped around the neck of the purple pokemon as he tried keeping it away from his face. It's teeth were barred as it struggled within his grip, and began sliding downward. “God...no.”
“CHUUUUUU!!!” A burst of energy coupled with numbness coursed through his body, and he let go of the snake pokemon as it dropped to the side, briefly flopping about before a second wave of electricity from the former prisoner overwhelmed the Ekans. It was rendered unconscious shortly afterwards.
The large man began to drag himself out of the basin, but before getting very far Jupiter leapt and stood infront of him, baring his teeth as electric sparks danced across his back. The man threw his hands up in the air, slowly walking back down.
“Perkūnas...” Takuya sat up, trying to ignore the tingling feeling and trying to see straight. He looked at...or more appropriately in-the-direction of Perkūnas. “...you saved me...”. Awkwardly, he began to stand up, trying to brush dirt off of his back. “No. Don't do that again.” The pikachu looked up at it's master, utterly confused. “Perkūnas, I don't want you trying to step in and save me. I need to be able to defend myself.” His body slightly swaying as he stumbled forward, he met the man at the bottom of the basin. “Hands, behind you...now. Or Jupiter WILL bite down on your neck so hard that even a Crystallized Onix wouldn't be able to stay in one piece.”
“Bitch. Team Rocket is going to send back-up when we don't return with news.”
“Shut up and hands behind you.” The teenager reached into his pockets and pulled out a knife. He held the weapon to the man's arm, and sliced off nearly the entire sleeve. After several more cuts, he began to tie the elongated piece of cloth between his arms, preventing him from doing anything more. “Jupiter, make sure he doesn’t try anything funny.”
- - - -
“You guys have one of three options.” Takuya stated while sitting on a rock he moved over to the basin's center. Eon sat proudly to his left, her head held high up in the air after the overall successful battle. Jupiter likewise sat beside him on his right, teeth barred as he stared at the man who had wielded the flamethrower earlier. He had his hands resting on both of their heads, gently stroking them. Perkūnas was sitting just to the other side of Jolteon, munching on a small piece of fruit that Takuya had stored with him.
“Option #1. I leave you guys down here, and you all stumble around the cave unless you are able to find a way out of here. If you choose to do so, I will personally confiscate all of your pokeballs and materials, leaving you with no survival tools.” The three men and woman all stood on their knees, hands tied behind their backs with scowls or blank looks on their faces. “Now maybe you guys will live, maybe not. I'll shrug off responsibility of you all.”
He got no noteworthy response except the cold, hard stares. “Option #2. I will have Jupiter and Perkūnas here shock you to death. Granted, the human body can take a decent amount of electrical current, but I assure you that you four won't survive an electrocution if the purpose is execution. That said, for what you have likely done in the past, just being members of Team Rocket, you deserve not much better.” Takuya bit his lower lip, hoping that his third option would be the one the group would agree with. He never really KILLED anyone before, and he wanted to keep it that way. Besides, neither of his electric types ever attacked others with the intention of murder, why make that an issue now?
“Option #3. I'll let three of you go, with all of your resources except for that damaged flamethrower and your pokeballs. The fourth one stays with me, and I will hand-deliver that person to Cerulean city tomorrow. I'll take the aforementioned objects with me. If you want them back, you'll have to get them back from the police. If you want to ditch them and ditch your teammate, fine, be my guest. It won't matter to me once I've turned that person in to the authorities, and I can go back on my merry way.” He stood up abruptly. “Because in my eyes, while I may have been lost in here, you guys are all little more then a block to hinder my progress.” Silently he prayed again, hoping his rough, gruff demeanor was enough to intimidate them into doing something other then choosing death, and that it would make the four of them think twice about trying to overpower their current captor.
“I'll give you four some time to discuss it amongst yourselves what you want to do.” He sat back down, resting his hands on his teammates once again. The silence in the low section of the mountain's underground tunnels near completely returned, hushed whispers between the four criminals all discussing amongst themselves.
“We've made a decision.”

A position for an OC submission is still open. However, there is now only one position as a fellow writer took the other one. To apply, go to the discussion form. There is a link to it in the previous chapter.
