Chapter 16: Team Rocket 

Aoki and Misty freshen themselves and start exploring the town together.

Walking while holding a girl's hand was a nice feeling for Aoki, with Misty's reaction she enjoyed it too.

The town was not too big and constrained medium size houses with plenty of open spaces.

They came across a park where they saw children playing with a Pichu and Oddish.

They sat on a bench in the park and enjoyed some stillness from constant walking. The children saw that two people sat on the bench and asked if they had any Pokemon to play with; both of them released their Pokemons except Pidgey who was tasked with surveying the surroundings.

The children were amazed to see so many pokemon in one place for the first time. Moreover, all the Pokemons were cute which made the children happy.

Out of the total area in the Kanto region, only 30 % was human-occupied while the rest was occupied by Pokemons. Wild Pokemons generally avoid human settlements unless something major happens.

It was fun seeing their Pokemon running around happily with the children. At one point the parents came to pick up their children and witnessed them playing with many pokemon.

"Are you by chance Aoki? " one of the mothers asked.

"Yes, that's me ma'am"

"Can I please get your autograph, my son became a fan of yours after watching your match and even started to love his Bellsprout more. "

Aoki gave his autograph on a piece of paper to the lady. Seeing this many of the other parents did the same. This gave Aoki a chance to ask some things about the town.

Aoki learned from them that this town was recently built for trainers who traveled from the Viridian forest to take a rest. This is why not a lot is known about this town.

"Seems like you became a celebrity, Aoki. How does it feel?"

"Feels great. If you keep working hard I am sure that will be famous too"

In the evening Misty and Aoki returned to their hotel taking back their Pokemons.

Pidgey informed Aoki about something which hampered his peaceful life.

"Misty we have some trouble coming in our way"

In the night when everyone in the town was asleep. Two team rocket grunts started climbing the hotel where Misty and Aoki stayed.

One of them had a Butterfree that had put the guards to sleep. This Pokemon is often used by criminals as it was one of the Pokemons who was best at putting people and Pokemon to sleep.

They could enter by unlocking the door but the locks were more difficult to crack than entering through the window. 

Moreover, the weather was in their favor as the sky was covered with clouds making it complete darkness around.

They peeked inside the room and found that Misty and Aoki were asleep.

Moreover, their eyes shone seeing a sleeping Charmander and Staryu.

"Jackpot, " he muttered.

The other one released a Beedrill who broke the lock in the window making very small holes.

As soon as both of them entered the room they found that something held them in their place.

" Shit we were discovered " one of them panicked and ordered hai Pokemons to attack Aoki and Misty but found that their Pokemon gave no response.

"Boom !! "

The sound of something crashing reached their ears.

The sleeping Charmander opened his menacing eyes and dashed towards the men who were held by stun spore and Confusion.

His tail claws glowed white as he used slash towards both of them making them drop to the ground with pain.

"Charmander that's enough.

Staryu use Hypnosis "

That was game over for both of them as they fell prey to Staryu's Hypnosis.

Misty and Aoki removed their blankets and praised their Pokemon for their help.

Pidgey and Bellsprout entered the room carrying a fainted Butterfree and Beedrill.

A few hours back Pidgey informed Aoki and Misty that someone has been following them since they entered the Town.

So he ordered Pidgey and Bellsprout to wait on the roof and attack the Pokemon they see while Charmander and Staryu attacked whoever enters the room.

They had to sacrifice their sleep but it was worth it.

"Misty call the hotel management, I will search their bodies"

He checked the Pokemon and the attackers and found 3 more Pokeballs that he didn't open and a bunch of IDs with different names and one of those IDs made him realize their identity.

'Who do we have here, Team Rocket huh..

I didn't expect to come to their radar so soon. '

A while later, some hotel staff, a police officer, and the league member who managed the hotel came to pick up the Team Rocket members.

"People are trying to steal my pokemon at the building of alliance even after all the security. I want my money back " said Aoki to the hotel manager.

"This…" they were speechless but had to agree to Aoki's demands as it was their carelessness too.

Aoki and Misty went black to sleep but didn't let their guard down and let their Pokemon.

Early in the morning, Aoki woke up due to a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw a hotel staff member with a worried face.

" What happened? "

"There is a problem in the town, you are the only trainer present now. Please follow us to the roof ".

Aoki woke up Misty and asked her to follow him. If he has woken up early in the morning something major must have happened. 

On the roof, Aoki saw more people and one of them was the hotel manager.

Misty was not a morning person so she somehow followed after Aoki in a daze but all her sleep went away after seeing the scene from the roof of the hotel.

Almost the entire town was covered in fog and pink flower petals.

"What is happening !?" Misty looked around but could not find the reason.

The staff member gave Misty and Aoki two Binoculars and pointed in a specific direction.

The houses at the far end of the town which were on the route that connected to Viridian forest were broken apart by two large green monsters.

"Ar-re those Venusars Aoki ?"

"Yeah, seems like they are enraged"

They were coming towards the town while breaking everything on the way.

" From their level of energy control that can cover the entire town, they are no less than master rank….

Shit !!!! this is bad. Someone provoked the Venusaur community of the Viridian forest, "

Aoki felt the matter was pretty serious. Venusaur line generally is pretty useful unless someone messes around with their territory or takes away their young ones forcefully. 

Provoking a master-level pokemon was equal to death if you didn't have any master-level pokemon.

Moreover, there are two of them. If they are not stopped the entire town would be destroyed by the time help comes.

"....." Misty and the others stood there speechless.

"Everyone please listen carefully, I think I know the reason for this. Please cooperate and start removing the fog using flying-type Pokemons. "

"Misty and Mr.manager please follow me "

They left the hotel and burst into another League building where the Team Rocket members were held captive.

The people inside were in a panic too and had started to pack their things to run as soon as possible.

The manager made them cooperate and bring out the confiscated items.

Aoki took the Pokeballs and released them one by one.

'Hope I am right or it will be troublesome '

One by one came out Beedrill, Butterfree, and Ekans that attacked Aoki as soon as they came out but were solved by his and Misty's Pokemon.

Aoki clicked the last two Pokemon and what came was two baby Bulbasaurs who were too small to walk alone.

'Oi Oi seriously, they kidnapped Bulbasurs from the Venusaur community moreover they haven't even reached the training stage.  No wonder the Venusaurs are enraged.

" Bellsprout go carry these Bulbasaurs and gives them to the Venusaurs and tells them the complete story, " told Aoki.

Bellsprout as he carried Bulbasaur that looked all around curiously without knowing what was happening.

" Do you two realize what you did ! " said Aoki towards the two team rocket members.

" Don't lecture us brat. We members of Team Rocket are not scared of anything. "

" Not scared of anything right, then let me show you what fear is. Pidgey, Charmander drags them to the Venusaurs.

Remember don't look them into the eyes and show your back to them"

Hearing Aoki mentions Venusaur, all their confidence was washed away and replaced with fear.

Everything clicked in their head why everyone was so agitated.

Two days ago they had caught two Bulbasaurs behind the back of the Venusaur community.

It was said that never touch a Bulbasaur that is found in the wild as Venusaurs are extremely protective of their children but they threw away those warnings.

"Misty be ready with our things, we are making a run if things do downhill "

"Roger !"

As Misty left,Aoki said to both of them,"Sorry but you two have to be sacrificed or else the town is getting to get destroyed "

The Team Rocket members begged him to not do it and that they will do anything for him.

~Sauuur !! ~

Boom !!

One of the Venusaur roared as he was about to destroy another house but stopped mid way seeing Bellsprout coming towards him holding two Bulbasaurs.

Bellsprout began telling everything that happened till now. The female Vesunaur calmed down after taking back her kids but the male Venusaur was not convinced and did not completely believe Bellsprout.

But when Pidgey and Charmander came to the area holding two Team Rocket members who were screaming and throwing punches, the male Venusaur finally somewhat believed Bellsprout.

~Char ~

~Pree~

Both Charmander and Pidgey said something which Aoki was too far to make out.

Two large vines emerged from Venusaur and curled around the two team rocket members.

Crack !!

While making eye contact with Bellsprout, Pidgey, and Charmander, Venusaur snapped the hands of the team Rocket members in the opposite direction.

The team Rocket members released a blood-curling scream from the pain making a lot of people cover their eyes and ears.

Aoki's Pokemons had no change in expression making Venusaur completely convinced that they were not involved.

~Sauur!!~

The male Venusaur gave a last look to Aoki and dopped the Team Rocket members who passed out from.

What Aoki didn't expect was that the female Venusaur took out a yellow teardrop-shaped seed and gave it to Bellsprout before leaving.

Aoki recognized that thing, it was a ' miracle seed ' that increased the power of grass-type moves.

'Phew !, a disaster avoided '

Aoki asked Bellsprout to hold that item, it will help him.

Everyone sighed with relief after the Venusars left the town.

Pidgey: Good job buddy. Without you, the master would have gotten hurt

Bellsprout: HmHm praise me more. I am the great Bellsprout

Pidgey rolled her eyes and said: Sure Sure, the great Bellsprout

*******

Somewhere in Pallet town, a boy with a blue jacket and a Pokeball-themed cap was excited to start his journey to become a Pokemon master.

On his shoulder was a Pikachu who was munching on a berry.

He was Ash Ketchum who got his starter Pikachu and a Pokedex the same day as Aoki but decided to start his journey later on as his Pikachu didn't listen to his commands.

After a few weeks, Pikachu had finally warmed up to him and started listening to him so he decided not to delay his journey any longer.

"Let's go Pikachu !!

~Pika ~

"Hey wait for me !!!" Ash heard a familiar voice making him look back.

"Daisy?! what are you doing here? I thought you left "

Daisy Oak was the granddaughter of Professor Oak and the twin sister of Ash's old friend Gary. She was a beautiful girl with well-styled long dark brown hair. She wore a full sleeve green shirt with a white jacket and black trousers.

"Why would I leave early dummy !? I promised to travel with you right? Moreover, I will get bored traveling alone.

You still have your dream of becoming a Pokemon master right, same as you, I still retain my dream of becoming the best Pokemon Groomer so let's travel together towards our dreams. "

Ash gave a wide smile hearing that.

"Good to have you back Daisy, let's travel together !!"
