Sorry it took me so pancake flipping long to get this chapter up. I really didn't have too much motivation to do so. Ehehe. ^_^'
Chapter Eight: Operation Rescue Under Siege
We find the remainder of the gang hiding behind a wall of a destroyed building, watching Hunter J try to capture a Golurk. After 3 minutes, she succeeds and takes the Golurk in her van. Becoming impatient, Red comes out from behind the wall and confronts Hunter J.
Danny: DUDE! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING!?
Red: Sorry for blowing our cover, but I can't wait any longer.
Hunter J: Salamence, Hyper Beam!
Salamence: SALAAAA! [IMA FIRIN MY LAZAH!]
-Note: You'll probably hear that joke a lot so brace yourselves!-
Fortunately, Red got out of the way in time and hid under the van when Hunter J and her new goons weren't looking. Danny then told Iris and Cilan what the young Halfa was planning then went ghost and flew intangibly into Hunter J's jet. Iris and Cilan were surprised when the jet turned invisible when it took off. They didn't know what Red did so they were surprised he was nowhere to be seen. Meanwhile in Hunter J's jet, Danny then landed in the ground and became visible again.
Red: So THAT'S what you look like as a ghost, huh Danny?
Danny: What the-? H-how'd you get in here?
Red: I hid under the van when nobody was looking. I know how YOU got here so no need to explain.
Danny: Anyway, we should split up so we can find Ash faster.
Red: Right.
Once out of the parking room, Red went to the right while Danny went to the left to search for Ash. After 5 minutes of searching, Red and Danny end up meeting each other in front of a door neither of them checked yet. So when they went into the room, they were shocked to find all the pokemon Hunter J "caught." They were also shocked to see Ash still petrified, but in a slightly different pose.
Red: Grrr, she'll regret this!
Danny: Let's just free Ash and the pokemon for now.
Red: Alright, but how?
Danny: Pffft, no duh. Like this.
Danny then went over to Ash and completely pushed the switch down.
Ash: Huh? (loses balance) WOAH! (faceplants hard on the ground) Ooowwww…*
Red: Uh oh! (kneels down) Hey Ash, are you alright?
Ash: Urk, I'm fine. Ouch.
Red: (sweatdrops) If you say so…
Danny: Uh guys, we still need to free the pokemon.
Red and Ash: Oh, right.
-7 minutes later-
Red: the pokemon are now free but HOW are we going to get all of us off this jet? We ARE in the air mind you.
Danny: Don't worry, I'll think of something, honest!
Red: -sighs- Alright then…
Ash: Um guys, we have a bigger problem.
When Red and Danny turned to the automatic door, they were surprised to see Hunter J's goons at the door.
Danny: Shoot! We've been caught!
Red: Thanks for pointing that out, Captain Obvious! (puts an arm in front of Ash) I want you to stay back Ash cause things could get nasty.
Ash: Alright.
Just as Red was about to send out a pokemon, the engine ended up exploding, causing the jet to become visible again and fall towards the ground.
Danny: What the-? How does an engine randomly explode!?
Red: Someone must've damaged the engine before the jet took flight.
Just as Red said that, the jet landed and exploded.
Iris and Cilan: Uh oh! (runs toward the jet)
When Iris, Cilan and Pikachu came towards the jet, the saw Gallade using Protect.**
Danny: (gets up) Dang! Thanks Gallade! We owe ya one.
Gallade: (stops using Protect) Galladegall? [No problem but where's Ash and Red?]
Danny: Uh oh, this is bad! If Ash and Red aren't anywhere to be seen, they've gotta be trapped in the rubble!
?: Ugh, th-that hurt…
Danny: Wait, y'hear that?
That's when Danny and Gallade went to where the voice was heard and removed the rubble.
Danny: Ash, Red! You're both alright, thank goodness.
Ash: Yeah, but Red got the most hurt when he tried to protect me.
Danny and Gallade looked over and saw what Ash meant. Red was lying unconsciously on the ground, battered up much worse than Ash.
Danny: Uh oh, where's the nearest Pokemon Center Cilan?
Cilan: About a mile away from here.
Danny: Then let's go!
The young Halfa carried Red in his back while everyone else made sure nothing else happened. But 10 minutes later at the destroyed jet, Hunter J and her goons come out of the rubble, only covered in dirt.***
Hunter J: DANG IT! I'll have you one of these days, brat!
All of the goons agreed with her, all except one, who was actually a member of the International Police Department in disguise…
-Note: I'll refer the International Police Department as the IPD from here on out.-
Author's note
*Ash lost his balance due to having his momentum to continue moving forward from when he was banging on the glass.
**Gardevoir isn't there because she went back into the forest where she lives after helping the group.
***That pretty much happens a lot when there's fatal situations in a cartoon or anime in general.
