Last time, our heroes thought they had escaped Techor and
Livy on the Seafoam Islands. But, after the reached Pallet Town at met
with Prof. Oak, they were unpleasantly surprised by the two infamous Rocket
agents. And now… Part 17 of 21…
“How did they get here so fast?” Sara asked quietly to
Icy.
“I don’t know, but wherever they’re taking us can’t
be good.”
“Hey you two, shut up back there. This isn’t a
social get-together, it’s kidnapping.”
Icy tucked Hocus’ pokéball away from sight and had Loki
transform into something that Techor and Livy wouldn’t notice.
“You all are going to be put out of the way permanently by
the boss. That is, unless Icy decides to help Team Rocket find the
Frosterpie. Those were Giovanni’s terms.”
“Don’t do it Icy. If we give them Frosterpie just
think about what that would mean to Caterpies everywhere. We’ll be
fine.”
Icy spat in Livy’s face. “Screw you and Giovanni.
I’ll never help Team Rocket.”
“Ohhh, grrrr…” Livy grabbed Icy by the ears and
shook him till he was really dizzy. “How do you like that twerp?
No one screws with me, get it.”
They continued on their way towards Team Rocket’s rebuilt
Pallet Town Headquarters.
“Ok, hand over your pokéballs now.” The team
reluctantly gave up their pokéballs to Techor. “That’s good, now
in!” They walked into the complex with Techor and Livy close behind.
“This way.”
“Take those kids to block C. The two pikabrats come
with me.”
“Hey, where are you taking Icy and Sara to?” Lewis
shouted.
“That’s not any of your concern little boy.
Besides, you’ll have your own problems to worry about. Lock ‘em up.”
“Yes Agent Livy.”
Techor and Livy escoted Icy and Sara up to Giovanni’s
office. This wasn’t the first time Icy had been there. He or Sara
for that matter.
== FLASHBACK ==
“Hide behind those boxes. I need to deal with some
agents real quick.” Icy got in position while Sara hid.
The two agents entered the alley. “Well, well, well.
A stray pikachu. Must be my lucky day. Hehehe...” The agent
reached into his pocket and pulled out a black pokéball with a red ‘R’ on
it. “You can’t escape us this time.” He threw the ball at Icy.
“Nice try losers,” Icy shouted as he teleported in back
of them. He realized his mistake too late however as three agents all
threw pokéballs at him. “CRAP!” he screamed as one of the pokéballs
hit him in the head. “Noooooooo!” Icy was sucked into the pokéball.
He banged on the inside walls but something was stealing all his energy.
His last images before he fainted were the metallic insides on the pokéball.
“Ha! Good job.” One of the agents picked up
the pokéball containing Icy. Another agent rushed back from the alley.
In his hand was the black pokéball he had originally thrown. “Giovanni
will be most pleased. Take them both to the gym. He is waiting to
see them personally.” They all went off around town while the one agent
took the two pokéballs to Giovanni.
== END FLASHBACK ==
The rest was just too painful of a memory. He knew that
same fat was going to befall him this time. They reached the door.
Icy shut his eyes as they entered. Sara was nervous too. She
didn’t see what had happened the first time, but she did hear it, and it
wasn’t a pleasant sound.
“Finally. We meet for what will be the last time
Icy.” Icy opened his eyes to notice a small handgun under Giovanni’s
suit. “Yes, it’s armed Icy. It doesn’t take a psychic to know
you looked at it. If you cooperate, I might not need to use it, more than
once…” Icy swallowed hard. Giovanni snapped his fingers and Livy
delivered the two Pikachus to him. “Leave us.”
“Yes sir.” Techor and Livy left the office.
“Are you going to miss that Pikachu?”
“Miss it? Heh, we’ll find something better to hunt
down on our next assignment.”
“Yes, you are right. Well, let’s finish off his
friends now.”
“Right.”
“So Icy, you thought you could get to Frosterpie huh?”
Giovanni took Icy and slammed his body against the ground.
“Stop it!” Sara screamed.
“You are next little girl. Just after I kill you
friend here.”
“No please, stop. Please don’t kill Icy.”
“No, your right. It would be much more interesting to
kill his friends right before his eyes.” Giovanni picked Icy up and
bashed him down on the table in front of a viewscreen. He turned to his
nemesis. “Now, you have a choice Icy. If you side with Team
Rocket, you’re friends will live. If you don’t, I kill them all, one
by one.”
“You… you… monster… You wouldn’t do
it.”
“Kill the little girl.”
“Understood sir.”
“Watch Icy.”
“NOOO!!!” Icy shouted as the agent drew his gun at Kelly.
Icy’s rage grew beyond normal conditions.
“KELLY!!!” Icy’s body began to glow light blue. His eyes
narrowed. In an instant, the gun in the agent’s hand began to melt.
“What the…” the agent said as he attempted to throw the
gun away. Instead the gun began to melt into his hand. “No, no,
help!!!” Icy’s angry burned inside so much that the agent’s hand was
now melting. Finally, the agent passed out.
“Stand down. So Icy, you like Kelly? What about
young Sara? I can remember when you both were young.”
“Shut up. Ok, I’ll help Team Rocket. But the
entire group must go or no one goes.”
“Fine. Without your pokémon you’re powerless
anyways.” Giovanni got on the two-way to Livy. “The Pikachu has
agreed. You can let those other brats out of the cells for now. Meet
me at the entrance in 15 minutes.”
“As you wish sir.”
Techor entered in the code to open the cells. “The
boss says your friend has agreed to help us. You’ll be working for Team
Rocket now.” The group didn’t look as enthusiastic.
“This is all my fault…” Kelly moaned.
“Don’t blame yourself. I’m sure any one of us
would have given in rather than see another die. Icy’s got a plan, and
so do I.”
“What do you mean?” Meeko whispered.
“Look,” Lewis said pointing outside the window with his
eyes. Outside were two Eevees, an Ivysaur, and some other of Meeko’s pokémon.
“Oh, I see. I hope they are ok.”
“They’ll be fine just don’t say anything.”
Techor and Livy led them to the front entrance.
MEANWHILE
“Dark Emperor, everything continues to go as planned.
The timeline is still holding at 100% and Icy has agreed to help Giovanni.”
“How long until the weapon goes online?”
“My crews are working round-the-clock. We’ll be
ready on time for when they find Frosterpie.”
“Excellent. We are going to rid the PokéEarth of all
life, pokémon and human alike. This world is not fit for them. The
Mew Empire will reign supreme, mwahahahahaha!!!”
“I’m so glad you’ve agreed to my terms Icy. A
wise decision I assure you.”
Icy wanted to tell him to shut up but fear was lowering his
courage. He didn’t want Giovanni to have any excuse to threaten anymore
of his friends.
“Silent now?” Giovanni taunted.
Icy really wanted to do something now but he kept is cool.
His friends looked like they shared his secret intentions.
Techor and Livy were in the front and held onto their pokéballs.
Giovanni explained their orders. “Right sir.” Giovanni then left
them.
“Wonder why he’s not coming.”
“Leave it the heads of evil organizations to also leave
their dirty work to their minions.”
“Yea.”
“Our orders are to force you to take us to the first
generator. So, let’s go.”
“Where is the Earth Generator?”
Icy said nothing. Techor reached toward his gun.
“Ok…” Techor sneered. “The generator is located inside Mt.
Moon. That’s all we know.”
“That doesn’t really help us much. I think he’s
keeping information from us.”
“Yes. How do we know he’s really telling the
truth.”
Icy’s eyes widened. He didn’t need to read their
minds to figure out what could happen next.
“Perhaps he needs persuasion?
“NO! Please!”
Techor cocked the gun and pretended to fire it at Sara.
“Ahahahaha! We are going to have a lot of fun on this adventure Icy.
Now get marching.”
As Techor and Livy lead of heroes towards Mt. Moon, what will
they do to get out of all this? I don’t know, but I’d say the
group’s in big trouble, and if they don’t do something fast, Frosterpie
might fall right into Team Rocket’s evil hands. Join us next time on LoF.
