Dragons Wrath

"Alright then, let's get to work." Chardoom said, moving into action. The super clone didn't answer as they started to move the feinted hybrids away from the exit as the Leagues yacht pulled up next to the wounded ship. Nineosion was the first to leave; he froze as Mewtwo lifted him over the water with his telekinetic powers. It took both Persainite and Ludigon to carry Tyranite away from the battle. She was less than thrilled about the cut and run strategy. Bellachu rode on Espeolas back as she and her sister jumped ship.

Mewtwo started to lift Swamsol, "Wait, I'll go last. Take Blazechamp, she's starting to look worn out." He offered.

"Hey, what's going on?" The Blaziken/Machamp hybrids arms and legs started to flail as she flew over the water. Landing on the yacht she spread her arms to steady herself but was buried under a pile of backpacks as Alakadoom teleported them over with Sceptron.

The battle started to get more difficult now that most of the prisoners had escaped. Sneagar flew on Sewlletric's back leaving those who remained backed against the far wall. Chardoom was about to pick up Starslash and fly to safety when he heard an explosion behind him. Chardoom, Starslash, and Swamsol fell to the deck as another explosion rocked the ship. Finally giving in the bulkhead collapsed in a cloud of dust. Scared by the commotion, the anthros retreated to the far side of the huge room. An enormous robot stepped out of the haze, it was one of Team Rockets many Mecha weapons. Fortunately most of them were fitted with non-lethal weaponry, but unfortunately most of them were fitted with nearly impenetrable armor. This one had a cannon for a right arm and a buzz saw for its left hand. Slowly backing up they formed a semicircle around the mechanical beast. "Anybody know Thunderbolt?" Chardoom asked; electric attacks seemed to be the only thing that the Rocket machines were vulnerable to.

Static filled the air as the pilot turned on the loud speaker, "UH, HI GUYS." Shido's voice blasted across the room as everybody covered their ears. "SORRY, I CAN'T FIND THE VOLUME." Shido apologized. Shaking his head to try to clear the ringing in his ears, Chardoom gestured towards the yacht moored to the side of the ship. "Oh, come on." Shido whined, "I just got here." The robot slouched as it walked off. "But I can help, see?" He lifted the cannon like arm, and a squeal split the air as the buzz saw took a chunk out of the armor on the left leg. Chardoom growled, "Okay, I get it." The young trainer lit the jets on the back of the Mecha and flew off.

While Chardoom was convincing Shido to leave Mewtwo had evacuated the last two trainers and they were all waiting for Chardoom to come join them. He had already spread his wings when a familiar voice behind him said, "Where do you think you're going?" A long grin spread across Feralidon's long jaws.

Although he wouldn't admit it to the General, he had no plans past getting everybody freed. "I'm leaving here, and that's enough for me." He began to flap his wings, but a Hydro Pump sent him sprawling to the deck.

"Don't you know that it's rude to leave when someone is talking to you?" Charging forward they locked together in a grapple.

Weren't you told to leave? Mewtwo asked as Shido rocketed the machine back to the fight.

"HEY MARK, WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG" Momentarily distracted, Chardoom was thrown by a Reversal, "OH MAN, NOW ALL I NEED IS SOME POPCORN!" Shido seemed to ignore Mewtwo as he watched the titans fight. An Ember sprinkled over the robot's faceplate. "MARK, KEEP YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME!" He quickly surveyed the damage to the Mecha, "Your attacks too." He muttered under his breath. "DO YOU KNOW STEEL WING?"

Chardooms leathery wings took a metallic sheen as he buzzed by his opponent. Feralidon was still fighting after the extremely effective attack. It would take more than one good hit to take out the commander of Team Rockets ground forces. As Chardooms back was turned, Feralidon took advantage of the situation and used Ice Beam. Chardoom's world crystallized while he was frozen solid by the attack. Shido cringed as the monster crash-landed and carved a long rut in the already ruined floor. "Hang on, Mark, I'm coming!" Shido powered the suit into motion, but there was a loud metallic clang as a Golem anthro charged out of nowhere and collided with the Mecha, sending it out the opening in the wall. Unable to move Chardoom was forced to watch as his first and only friend in the pokemon world fly all over the sky trying to shake off the excess weight. "Alright, take this you bastard!" The buzz saw warped and snapped off as soon as it hit the anthros rocky hide, and the barrel of his cannon bent as he slammed it across his enemy's back. Gathering the energy in from around itself the boulder like creature started to glow. "Oh, shi…" Everybody aboard both of the ships was thrown to the deck as the Explosion attack rocked the seas.

Thrown back by the attack the ice was shattered and Chardoom flew towards the breach in the wall to see if he could save his friend, "Remember me?" Feralidon jumped on Chardooms back and used Submission. Momentum carried them to the edge of the precipice. With his arms and wings pinned behind his back Chardoom was helpless as he watched the machinery sink into the ocean. There were two small splashes as Espeola and Swamsol jumped in after it. Chardooms pupils narrowed into narrow slits and he forcibly broke Feralidon's grip on him. And with a screeching roar of pure rage Chardoom launched a Dynamic Punch, but the unfocused monster missed as he spun around. Feralidon tried to use a point blank Hydro Pump. With a hiss of steam the attack barely grazed the creatures shoulder. With a screech that would make grown men run and hide Chardoom flew up into the air and started glowing. He didn't know what attack the monster was going to use, but Feralidon was determined not to be around when it happened. The glowing started to flow around the creatures' mouth forming a ball of intense heat and light. Outside the ship Lance was shocked to see what attack Chardoom was preparing to use, "Dragons Wrath," Dragon Master Lance whispered under his breath. Landing in the middle of the arena the ball of energy exploded. Lance was thrown about as Dragonite fought the shockwave of the explosion. On the yacht the trainers dove for cover as pieces of flaming debris fell to the ocean.

"Francis Trent," Lance appeared with a pair of handcuffs. "You're under arrest for connections with the terrorist organization, Team Rocket." Needless to say, the General was in no mood to argue as he lay, stunned, on what was left of the floor of the arena. Dragonite caught Mark as he fell the attack completely drained him and he had reverted to his human form. "The Battle is over Mark" Lance tried to tell the still struggling trainer, but he could tell that that he wasn't getting through by the wild look in Mark's eyes. "Lets' get out of here." Lance commanded his dragon.

They landed on the yacht as Nikki and Franklin climbed aboard. Franklin shook his head sadly. "Will, set a course for Olivine City." Lance ordered solemnly. With a gesture from the psychic the engines coughed to life.

"Wait, your just going to leave him?" Nikki asked outraged. Lance paused; he wasn't quite sure what to say. "He's not dead." The girl insisted, shivering under her blanket as the wind swept across the deck.

There is nothing left here. Mewtwo said flatly before flying off with a purple contrail as the sea slowly reclaimed the wreckage of the once proud ship. Bruno and Will argued over the controls as the yacht sailed off.

"Shido is still on that ship!" Nikki pointed as the ship slipped into the distance. With a loud pop a shrieking ball flew up into the air. The night turned red as the flare sizzled back into the sea. "See he's there, he's trying to signal us!" The trainer was about to jump over the railing to her brother when a hand landed on her shoulder.

"He's gone, I'm sorry." Vincent said trying to comfort her, but she laid him out with a vicious left hook as she sulked off.
