Team Ch.9
Team 9
Mecha: *smiles big* Well...I've done what I aimed to do. I yiffed every beautiful female that was of proper age. *smiles* Red's in heaven right now.
Jewel: Maybe.. but then again your just trying to stud a bit to much. *chuckles as she nears.*
Mecha: *smiles back* Point. But still...I live to please. *chuckles* Sorry I've left you high and dry in the commentary Jewel. *blushes, rubbing his head with a paw* Kinda got distracted.
Jewel: .... mmmm hmmmm. *glares to him on that.* You better think of something for the sake of a kindness plea before the next chapter since you forgot about me.
Mecha: *blinks* Wait...you...you...me...you...me...*blushes up* I...didn't...think I...was...worth your time...*looks away*
Jewel: No.. but I thought you were so busy you forgot about me and I want a good appology since it hurt my feelings.
Mecha: *nuzzles and licks cheek* I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to make you forget about me. *gives puppy dog eyes* But I am a male...and all the beautiful fems around here were just to much to resist...especially you...the prettiest fem in the whole bunch.
Jewel: ... keep talking. *she smirks... her tails coiled on her.*
Mecha: Well...you were so beautiful...and nice...and just plain amazing...I didn't think I'd have a chance at even getting a kiss. So...I just went for the fems I had a chance with. *blushes* I'm sorry if you thought I forgot you.
Jewel: I'll consider it... for now We got to update the blonds that didn't read the other stuff.
Mecha: *nods* Right. Well...the gang has saved Ferra. And have even gotten a new addition to their group. Masamune...what could that zangoose hold in store for them. And what about Death...despite what he shouted at Inferno...will he tell Ferra his feelings?
Jewel: Lets see if Inferno's guess holds out? *snickers.* As we now join our heroes on the road.
The gang of nine pokemon was still on the road. A week had passed since their raid on the rocket base where Ferra had been freed, but, much to Masamune's little shown dismay, the main road was out, and the detour would mean they'd get to where his daughter might be in two more weeks. With little other choices though, they had to go around, and Masamune's spirits were minutly shrunken.
Sky was the only one to notice this, but that's because they had been attacked by Team Rocket once during the trip...and during that attack, she thought she recognized how Masamune was fighting, but she couldn't quite place where.
Meanwhile, Ferra had gotten back to her old self much to Death's relief, though he tried not to show it. She also took a liking to Inferno and Sky, partly because Death was most comfortable with them, and partly because she found them to be the one's she liked most of the group. She even told them they were like the older sibling's she never had but always wanted. Well...Inferno was the older sibling, Sky was the siblings mate who acted like a new older sister, since it'd seem wierd if they were both like siblings...at least when it came time for the fun at night part of their lives. All three of them broke out into laughter soon after that.
When night desended the group stopped for the night. As the moon rose over them, Inferno light a fire from some dry timber, and they all settled down. Ferra was close to Death, as always, Inferno and Sky weren't far from them. Rika and Bane were next to Inferno and Sky, with Tia and Blaze a short ways off from there. Masamune slept on the opposite side of the group and fire, keeping his distance...which no one asked why. He was a silent type, which once again reminded Sky of someone they had met before, but she couldn't place the face or name.
Eventually, most of the group was settled down and sleeping. All except for Death and Ferra, though neither knew the other was awake. Death raised his head up and looked at the moon, cursing himself. He knew that Inferno was shooting him looks, taunting him into following through with what he had said he would...but he couldn't tell Ferra how he felt...he couldn't bear to hear the words she'd give in response, which were certain, at least in his mind, to be total rejection.
Ferra looked up at him when he moved, "Death? Something wrong?"
Death snapped his head to her, and blushed, though the night managed to hide it. He shook his head, "No...just thinking is all."
She smiled serenly, "About?"
He shrugged, "I guess...about my life."
She sighed, "You mean when you did all those horrible things?"
He shook his head, "No...I've...come to terms with that." he hadn't told her that the brother he had tried to slay, and the female he raped were in their group...or that they had accepted he had changed.
She smiled, "Then what about your life?"
He layed his head down, "An...uncertainty...if you could call it that." though he was pretty certain how she felt.
She scooted closer to him and nuzzled his side, before smiling sweetly at him, "Don't worry...I'm sure it'll pass...then you'll know what ever you need to know." she layed her head down and quickly fell asleep. Death couldn't help but smile at her, and fall asleep soon after.
When morning came the group rose up and quickly set off again, Inferno leading, Sky by his side. At the rear were Bane and Rika, though she hated the spot, Bane was content...it ment he could play with Rika a bit, though he still had to keep an ear open for trouble.
They had managed to make it a mile before they heard an explosion. They saw a small cloud of dust over a hill, and all of them immediately rushed toward the top. Upon reaching it, they looked down and saw a large number of Team Rocket grunts against one pokemon...a marowak...All of the group gasped, except for Ferra and Death. Sky smiled after her gasp, "Link!" Masamune rushed down, heading straight for the Rockets.
Before the other's knew it they were following the zangoose, who hit the Rockets' rear flank hard, knocking out several grunts and their pokemon. Link stared in bewilderment at the zangoose, then noticed his old comrades from the fight with Orochi. With a nod he began to fight again. As Sky took position, staring down three grunts with two pokemon each, she noticed where she had seen Masamune's fighting style before...it was just like Link's only instead of bone clubs he had claws.
Inferno smirked, he had it easy. Four grunts, with a glaceon, alakazam, ivysaur, and a hypno. His opponents weren't happy with how this turned out, as not one of the Rockets was going to issue an attack...which was bizarre, cause he had heard Team Rocket didn't care about any pokemon, not even their own. Then one Rocket sighed, "Alright...we just need to be able to dodge him...if we can do that...we can still hit him with other attacks and bring him down slowly but surely." Inferno smirked, growling, which quickly sapped the confidence the grunt had instilled, "Oh we're boned."
Sky was smiling sweetly at her opponents, cause they were all none to willing to attack her, they were muttering about how they heard about the group, and weren't to eager to get their asses kicked. The grunts behind the pokemon were of the same mind. Sky smiled, "You can always flee." but that wasn't happening. Instead a mightyena charged her, and she sighed, waiting till he got close, then knocking him back with a shadow ball. The wolf cursed, landing hard but still stood, "She's tough! Very!" Next was a jolteon, trying to get her with better speed, and got tripped by her tail, before a shadow ball sent him into his grunt.
Bane and Rika were side by side, as a machop, hitmochan, and three mankey glared at them. Bane was at a definant disadvantage, but he didn't let it show in his own glare. Rika was just smirking, "This should be fun." The fighters glared, and their grunts smirked, "ATTACK!!!" Rika smirked as the machop moved in on her, then he got a surprise, as she sent a foot right to his balls. The grunts and other fighters whenced, "Fuck...that's cold...that's real cold..." one grunt said, shielding his own gems. Rika smirked, kicking her feet a bit more for intimidation effect. None of the pokemon were to eager to charge her now.
Blaze was ontop of Tia's shoulders, glaring, as they were surronded by foes who didn't like the look of what they were up against. Mainly because they were all weak to Tia and Blaze's type...and that's not including the abilities they had with their alterations. A charmeleon decided to try and take them on, charging. Tia smiled, and slammed a fist into the ground, making an earthquake around her, knocking the charmeleon off his feet, and out cold, as well as several others who were weak against ground attacks, and a few who just weren't strong enough. One grunt gulped, "Fuck...we're...hosed."
No one was eager to move on Ferra, mainly because Death refused to leave her side, and he was a very intimidating sight. His wings spread menacingly, his tentacles waving about, waiting to strike like a seviper. Add to that, his snarling glare sapped the last ounce of courage any of them had. Ferra wasn't phased by Death's act though, in fact she was a bit embarresed that he was being so protective of her...though he wouldn't admit that was the case no matter how true it was. "Uhh...umm...maybe we should just give up." one grunt suggested, getting nods from many others. Death cackled, as his tentacles began to wave back and forth, which had the Rocket pokemon taking defensive stances.
Link and Masamune each had a large number of Rocket pokemon on them, which made sense since Link was the original target. But while Link was tough on his own, Masamune just delivered the killing blow, knocking back and out several pokemon with Link, the two seeming to be perfectly insinc as they slashed and bashed around one another, blocking hits aimed at the other. The Rockets were shaking their heads, "Unreal."
As the battle progressed the Rockets were losing more and more pokemon to fight. Eventually one just sighed, "Alright...we ain't getting anywhere here...fall back!" they all took out small balls, and tossed them to the ground, creating walls of smoke.
Death scoffed, "Smoke bombs...cowar..." Link had a bone club to Death's throat.
Sky sighed, "Relax Link...he's a...neutral guy now. Not trying to kill us."
Link eyed Death a bit, then withdrew the club. Death sighed, "God...that's going to get annoying." Ferra giggled, petting him.
Link turned to Masamune and bowed, "It's good to see you again father-sensei."
Inferno blinked, "Father...sensei?"
Link nodded, "Yes...I was orphaned at a young age...he was kind enough to take me in...and teach me how to fight." Inferno nodded, understanding, "But...why are you traveling with them father-sensei?"
Rika rolled her eyes, "Hello to you too Link. If you must know Team Rocket kidnapped his daughter and..."
Link stared, wide eyed, "They kidnapped Tensa!?!?"
Masamune nodded, solemly, "Yes...while she was out with her friend."
Link turned to Inferno and the others, "Please...let me accompany you again and help save Tensa!"
Inferno blinked again, "Sure...we'd be glad to have your help." Link bowed. Sky though his desire to help wasn't just from a sense of brotherly love. But for now, she decided not to press the issue.
Ferra just smiled, introducing herself to Link, and Link stared at her when she explained how she thought Death was really a nice guy, "Him? He's tried to kill us...and from what Rika told me he raped her."
Ferra's eyes went wide, as she turned to Rika and Bane, "You're..." she couldn't believe it...they must hate her for being so nice to Death.
Bane shrugged, "He...apologized for what he did to her...and saved both of us."
Ferra's gaze went to Death, who blushed. She smiled then, "Good." she pet him again, "My little Deathy-poo is being a good boy." Death growled at her, as she giggled and pet him some more.
Link blinked, but shrugged and started to head back down the road, Masamune following. The two began to have a subdued conversation, as the rest of the group followed behind.
Night had eventually started to decend, and the group decided to stop. They managed to gather up some shrubs and a few sticks, and Inferno lite a fire, everyone gathering around it. Link listened as everyone told him what had been happening since they parted ways after Orochi's slaying, he even chuckled when they told him of their fight with the garchomp and his underlings. Link didn't share any of his own stories, and no one seemed to mind. But then...everyone was thrown for a loop, as Death began talking.
It was just an impulse, but Death acted on it without thinking. Soon enough he began to talk about what he did when he wasn't trying to kill Bane and the others...and most of the events were actually quite comical. One event entailed him walking though Biogen's main base...when a tentacle tripped a scientist with a newly made pikachu with some persian and charizard features...and that little ditty went on a rampage, destroying several weeks worth of work. Luckily Death was never caught as being the cause of it.
Death then told of another event that happened in Orochi's castle. Apparently he walked in on two guys..."in the act" he said with a blush and growl at the laughes. In his rush to get away he bumped into a gaurd, who fell over the side of the railing, and knocked over a torch on his fall. The torch hit a wagon loaded with hay, setting it ablaze, and rolling toward a warehouse...full of explosives. Inferno nearly wet himself, he had heard of the incident, but didn't know Death caused it.
Eventually they all grew tired, and went into their little groups to sleep, except for Masamune and Link, who slept alone.
But Ferra wasn't asleep...she had had a question scratching at the back of her mind. Since she thought the others were into dreamland, she got up and went to Inferno, "Inferno?"
He lifted his head and smiled, "What is it Ferra?"
"I've...got a question."
He tilted his head, "What is it?"
She blushed and looked down, "Umm...how do you know...if you...love someone."
He blinked at her, but then gave a reassuring smile, "You know you love someone when..." he paused thinking how best to describe the feeling he has with Sky, "...when they can make you smile just by being there." he nodded, happy that he had it right, "Even when you're so deep in the darkness, so lost in anger, pain, sorrow...no matter what, just having them around makes the light shine through. When the world is falling apart around you...then you see there face...it makes everything right again. They're able to make all your doubts and confusion vanish with a simple smile, nuzzle, or lick, without having to speak any actual words, though you know that it would always be kind and helpful words." he closed his eyes, smiling big, "When all it takes to make you happy...is simply having that one person there...you know you have a deep and unbreakable love."
Ferra nodded, thank him, and returning to Death's proximity. She didn't realize that no one was yet asleep, and everyone heard Inferno's speech. Sky smiled, licking his cheek and nuzzling him. Bane and Rika got into an even tighter cuddle. Tia hugged Blaze tight, and he moved deeper into the hug. Death wanted to do so many different things right then and there...he wanted to hug and hold Ferra, he wanted to damn himself, he wanted to crawl under a rock and die, and he wanted to leave and never return. He decided just to go to sleep. Link and Masamune just lay there, neither doing anything...they were the only ones fast asleep.
Jewel: And to think you talked with a motivational thinker.
Mecha: *blinks* Excuse me?
Jewel: Dont tell me Inferno got to you.
Mecha: *blushes* Umm..uhh...*tries to laugh*
Jewel: Well Tensa has two family members saving her and 8 heroes...clearly someone's going to be in deep shit when they are through.
Mecha: *nods* Yep. *smiles, looking up into nothing* Man...that's the feeling love brings...*inaudiable mumbles*
Jewel: Jealous he got such a silver tounge?
Mecha: *shakes head* No...just...it sounds so nice...*smiles* Having someone there who makes you happy...just because they're there...no need for words or any real action...just...feeling that special someone close by...*smiles, closing eyes*
Jewel: *she pets him and smiled.* So... true. I'll handle this. *giggles as she sounds a bit lower in tone.* And so our heroes rest up for another adventure as they try to save Tensa the Zangoose. But what events will get in the way of the new heroes and old nd what is Team Rocket going to do with the pokemon they have on them now? Find out next time.
Mecha: *smiles big* Well...I've done what I aimed to do. I yiffed every beautiful female that was of proper age. *smiles* Red's in heaven right now.
Jewel: Maybe.. but then again your just trying to stud a bit to much. *chuckles as she nears.*
Mecha: *smiles back* Point. But still...I live to please. *chuckles* Sorry I've left you high and dry in the commentary Jewel. *blushes, rubbing his head with a paw* Kinda got distracted.
