Well, the wait is over! And now I get to do something I've always wanted to.
Darkness and Light, Into the Chaos!
Andre glared at the hole in his ceiling, where four individuals were floating. The first three were clearly malamar, but the fourth, surrounded by psychic aura and smirking psychotically, was May. "Please tell me this is just the Trio's doing." Andre muttered. Sure, May had been a sore loser at times, but this was too far. Unless...oh please let me be wrong. the hybrid thought, glancing at a very fearful Maria.
...
"May, what the hell?" Dawn demanded.
"Seriously!" Piplup added.
"There's only one person who deserves this title, and that is me!" she declared. "Hypnos, let me down." The malamar glared at the human girl for giving her orders, but complied. "Alright now, Blaziken, take the stage!" May commanded, her starter appearing in a flash of light.
"Blastoise, help out!" Gary's voice came from behind the curtain. His own pokemon appearing, Gary smirked as he stepped into the spotlight.
"Flare, use Psychic!" came a female voice.
"Okay Inkay, Psybeam!" came an accompanying male voice. Blaziken was tossed by an aura similar to the one surrounding its trainer and Blastoise was blasted with a beam of psychic energy.
"What the hell? Who did that?" May demanded.
"Prepare for trouble, one would think you'd know."
"And make it double, we're stealing the show."
"To protect the world from devastation."
"To unite all peoples within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love."
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie." The female member began, leaping onto the stage.
"And it's James." the male member added, landing next to his partner.
"Team Rocket blast off that the speed of light."
"Surrender now or prepare for one long-coming fight."
"Meowth, that's right!" Mewoth finished, ditching the outfit and landing between his friends.
"That's right!" Wobbuffet added with his usual salute.
Andre landed next to Team Rocket with a smirk. "You want the ground or the air?" he asked, glancing at the malamar trio floating in the hole they had created.
"We'll take the ground." Jessie replied, stroking Flare's head with a sadistic smirk.
James nodded, sharing his partner's look. "After all, we have unfinished business with these ones. Go show those self-righteous calamari why you rule the archipelago."
"And we'll make sure to give da crowd a show." Meowth added.
"We'll be fine, you know." Wobbuffet saluted.
Andre nodded. "Frozen, your move." he called, throwing out his dusk ball and climbing on his dragon. "To the skies." he commanded, flying through the hole.
Jessie smiled at the black-clad boy. "Good luck, boss!" she called after him. Everyone sweatdropped at the display before the magneta-haired woman turned back to May and Gary. "Before we begin, we have a question for you." Jessie began.
James rolled his eyes but followed her lead. "Do you think even the worst person can change?" he asked.
"Dat everybody could be a good person, if they just tried?" Meowth pressed.
"What does that have to do with us?" May demanded.
The trio chuckled before Jessie spoke again. "Alright, here's a better question."
"Do you wanna have a bad time?" the Rockets asked as one.
"Because if you don't turn and leave right now," James declared.
"You're REALLY not gonna like what happens next." Meowth finished.
May rolled her eyes. "Blaziken, on your feet!" she ordered.
"You too Blastoise." Gary added. Both pokemon struggled to their feet, taking a battle postion.
The smirk never left their faces. "It's a beautiful day outside." she began.
"Birds are singing, flowers are blooming." James continued.
"On days like these, kids like you," Meowth crossed his arms before the trio finished as one.
"Should be burning in hell."
...
Andre glared at the lead malamar. "So what exactly is the point of working with humans when you want to erase them from existence?" he asked.
"They are a means to an end." Hypnos replied. "They will be instrumental in our quest to return our mistress."
"None of them are hybrids. And it takes Maria and an opposing type hybrid like me to unlock the seal." Andre argued back. "So I'll ask again, what is your reason for working with those sell-outs?" he demanded. The malamar trio only chuckled. Andre sighed. "Fine, don't tell me. It won't matter in a few moments anyway. Frozen, you know what to do."
"Got it boss." the kyurem replied, releasing his Glaciate attack.
"Dark Void." Andre invoked, the black orbs shooting toward the psychic types. The trio scattered. Glow got hit with one of Andre's attacks, and Taker felt weak after taking Frozen's special move, but all three were still battle-capable after Hypnos woke her sleeping comrade. "Dark Pulse." the hybrid invoked, this time shooting the dark type attack.
"Need a hand?" came a voice beneath them.
"Shadow Dragon Roar!" a second called, another Dark Pulse tearing through the sky. Andre smirked as he turned to see his friends on approach. "Cresselia, Laios, so glad you could make it to the party."
"We're fucked." Glow muttered.
"Psybeam!" screamed yet another voice. Psychic energy tore through the air as Maria floated up next to Andre.
"No, NOW we're fucked." Taker corrected.
...
"How the hell are they so strong?" May wondered, looking at her thoroughly beaten Blaziken. "Blaziken, return. Let's go Blastoise!" the fire-and-fighting type was recalled and the water type appearing.
"No idea, but we won't lose to these guys." Gary replied, calling back his own beaten Blastoise. "Umbreon, Shadow Ball!"
"Dodge it Flare!" Jessie ordered, her newest pokemon leaping out of the way. "James, target swap. Flare, Energy Ball!"
James nodded before looking to his own pokemon. "Okay Inkay, use Foul Play!" The two attacks struck home, causing Team Rocket to smirk. "I'm afraid we're not the Team Rocket you used to know." He informed. "We're far stronger than ever before. Now Inkay, use Tackle!"
"We might be in over our heads." Gary muttered, seeing his usually untouchable pokemon seriously hurt.
...
"Dark Void." Andre snapped, firing his attack again and taking out two of the malamar. "Maria." he called.
"Dazzling Gleam!" Maria invoked, her body being encased in energy as she tackled the psychic type. Power formed in her hands. "Dark Pulse!" the super effective attack struck at point blank.
"Shadow Dragon Roar!" Laios called, firing his own Dark Pulse and causing even more damage.
"You've lost this round, Hypnos. I suggest you leave." Cress hissed, glaring at the intruder.
Hypnos snarled, lowering herself to her companions. "This isn't over." she declared, teleporting from the battle.
"Let's get back." Andre called, directing Frozen back to the stadium. As the ice dragon landed, the black-clad boy smirked as he dismounted. "They give you any trouble?" he asked, gesturing to the two beaten sell-outs.
"They were hardly a warm-up." Jessie replied, sounding rather bored with the whole ordeal.
"The match is going to have to be postponed though." James added, gesturing to the destroyed room. "We can have it up and running in a couple days with the machokes' help."
"I leave it in your capable hands." Andre replied, recalling his dragon and looking to Dawn and Serena. "You two okay?"
"Feeling useless, but otherwise fine." Dawn replied, Serena nodding as well.
"Good. Ash would kill me if something happened to either of you." Andre sighed in genuine relief. Ash's little sister and girlfriend are safe. he told himself.
...
"Andre, do you think they'll be back?" Maria asked. They were alone in his office, awaiting the arrival of Ash and company.
"Probably." the black-clad boy replied. "They want to release Yvet. You know we can't risk that." he added sadly. Maria nodded, brushing a thumb over her premier ball. "Have you decided what you'll do after this?" Andre asked.
Maria shook her head. "Still not sure. Can't say I've thought about it much, what with being blackmailed into being Devak's puppet." she replied.
"Take your time. You know I love having you here." Andre shrugged, resisting the urge to chuckle as Maria's cheeks turned pink. A knock at the door caused the black-clad boy to smile beneath his scarf. "Come in!" he called.
Ash and company entered the office, finding various places to sit/stand. "What did you want to talk to us about?" Ash asked.
"Due to recent events, I think I should tell you a bit more about me. Including my connection to the Malamar Trio, as you call them." Andre replied.
And done! Well, first off sorry I haven't done anything with this in forever. Other stories, shitty life, you know the drill. Anyway, what did people think? Good? Bad? Why the hell am I still writing this crap? Leave a review and tell me what you thought.
