Tyler | Sub-Sootopolis "Rocket City"
"Deoxys 174, show the kid what we mean."
The red-and-blue alien swung its four arms out, intertwining and weaving until they all came in contact on Espeon's head. It was so hard to watch. I loved Espeon, and they could all tell it. And that Deoxys... Something was off.
One of the higher ranking admins walked up, grinning as she patted me on the face. "You're about to see the heart and soul of the Rocket Revolution!" She giggled and walked behind Deoxys to get a better view.
"D-174, Transmogrification!"
The alien Pokemon lit up in vibrant reds and blues, fluctuating energy through Espeon's body. At least, Tyler thought, she had been sedated before this all happened. But her body began to change colors and forms, and I could almost feel a surge of Telekinetic energy around her body.
But it wasn't her body anymore.
Almost like in a twisted evolution, she began to grow and become more slender, stealing the form of a fully-grown Alakazam. Only one thing remained true about what she once was-- her eyes.
In Alakazam's sockets rested two beautiful purple eyes.
"Transmogrification, complete."
The leader, Casandra, she stepped forward and showed me all three others of my Pokeballs. Then, one by one, she released them into the large room, much to my horror. But she was grinning. And the grunts were grinning. And the men holding me by my arms were grinning. In the place of Banette, Absol, Espeon, and Skarmory stood four completely new Pokemon.
"Allow me to introduce your new team, Rocket Admin Tyler.
Alakazam:
Special Ability: Synchronize
Moveset: Shockwave | Calm Mind | Hypnosis | Psychic
Tyranitar:
Special Ability: Sand Stream
Moveset: Crunch | Rock Slide | Earthquake | Hyper Beam
Lucario:
Special Ability: Inner Focus
Moveset: Dark Pulse | Swords Dance | Slash | Metal Claw
Crobat:
Special Ability: Inner Focus
Moveset: Poison Fang | Fly | Wing Attack | Haze"
They all started cackling, then. The Pokemon in front of me seemed so...fierce, so powerful. But why would they change my team? Why would they steal my friends?
The grunts holding me down started grabbing at my clothes, and a new group of grunts rushed at me with a new outfit, one bearing a large red R across the front with a small E on the tail of it. I looked back up to Casandra, but she was still grinning. "You're one of us now, and you have no choice."
"Bringing up monitor feed. . . now!"
She pointed at a map of Hoenn, where two dots were moving slowly towards Sootopolis. "Those two are your enemies."
"I have no enemies."
"Yes. . . You do." She mashed a button and my body filled with a stronger jolt of electricity than the Lanturns had provided. "You'll find your new outfit cannot be removed. You are now laced with electronic wiring that, upon my command, will shock you with as many volts as I demand." She cackled. "So, like I was saying. . ."
I looked up at the screen, completely distraught in my sudden realization. Team Rocket had me in their hands.
"You'll meet them in the sky on Crobat. He'll know what to do. Get them diverted from Sootopolis and southern Hoenn." She grinned. "We wouldn't want any of the Regi's to be jarred before the party begins. . ."
I slowly stood, looking into the eyes of all my new team. Skarmory, the Crobat. Absol, the Tyranitar. Banette, the Lucario. And Espeon, the Alakazam. Wait.
One was missing.
"Where's ditto?"
Casandra grimaced. "Did I say you could speak?" Her thumb laid down on the shock-button and I fell to my knees in sudden pain. "That fake Jirachi was disposed of."
My eyes widened. "Disposed. . . of. . . ?"
She grinned. "Eaten by a Wailord and will soon find itself fishbait for a school of Gorebyss in Ever Grande City." She cackled once more. "Now. . . Take your team to the skies and take those pests down before they interfere." Just then, she got a page on her sub-comm device.
"Yes. . . No, sir, we've captured only one trainer thus fa-. . . Yes, sir, I understa-. . . No, sir. Affirmative. Yes, sir. Yes. Yes, I understand the consequences. Understood." And she looked back at me, glaring. "Take those trainers and their Pokemon to a watery grave or your ass is mine." She smiled again, almost innocently. "Shelby and Matt will be joining you underwater once your bring them down."
Tyranitar, Crobat, Alakazam, and Lucario have been substituted into Tyler's Party.
Tyler's alliance has changed to Rocket.
