I couldn't stop my eyes from closing and drifting off to sleep not long after Red had left, Scar's heated body curled up in my arms as while we slept. The door opening slightly caught my attention but I didn't feel like opening my eyes or checking to see if it was Green or Red that had come to see me. Suddenly, a hand wrapped itself around my arm and yanked me off the bed roughly, my eyes shooting open in anger as I prepared to punch whichever one it was. Terror soon replaced my anger as I realized the person in front of me was neither Red nor Green, but a tall, creepy looking man in black with a giant red 'R' embroidered on the front. Scar's growl filled the room as he prepare to pounce on the intruder, who let out a loud laugh as he moved his arms under mine, pulling me up as a shield, my struggling useless against him. What moves did Scar know? I had to remember! Smog…ember…bite... and roar? But he's a low level; I couldn't remember what level he was but I obviously hadn't trained him because the Pokedex had said that he evolved at level 24, which wasn't a high level to begin with. Oh shit, Greens Pokedex!

"Scar! Grab the Pokedex and bring it to Green! Hurry!" Scar's ears went back at the instructions, his feet planted for a few seconds until he turned to the nightstand, grabbing the Pokedex and bolting out the open door. The grip around me tightened and the creepy laugh was in my ear as I shuddered, still kicking my feet and cursing that I still didn't have any pants.

"Very smart of you to take away the Pokedex. How did you know that was our second objective?"

"Fuck you." I spat as I thrashed around, trying desperately to kick him if I could.

"Stop struggling you pest!" The grunt shouted angrily as one of my feet finally connected with his knee. A sharp blow to the back of my head blackened my vision and caused my lungs to stop working for a few seconds, the pressure on my arms was released as I fell to the ground, I tried to control how to breathe and see as I felt his boot connect with the back of my head.

"Red…G-Green…" I whispered softly as my consciousness slipped away from me.

As vulnerable as being unconscious left me I had to say that I preferred it as the pain returned all over my body when I started to come to my senses, specifically the throbbing in the back of my head reminding me that I should try and get a feel of the situation before I open my eyes. Controlling my breathing so it seemed like I was still asleep, I tried to listen for any sounds, to no avail. Whatever I was laying on was cold and hard, probably concrete, there was something even colder wrapped around my ankle, and to my embarrassment I still wasn't wearing any pants. At least I still had Greens shirt on; the smell of dingy basement was washed out by the snow and pine smell of Red and the unexplainable, amazing scent of Green. Where the hell was I? The red 'R' that was embroidered on the shirt of that creepy man, I remembered that it signified Team Rocket, but I thought they were disbanded? I knew that Giovanni was pissed at Red, but would he go this far? Was it even him? Maybe they were trying to punish Red and Green by taking me away, because they made their leader, Giovanni, disappear? My mind ran in circles trying to figure out exactly what was happening, but nothing seemed to make sense, black patches in my memory preventing me from putting simple pieces of the puzzle together. Getting frustrated at my incompetence I decided to slowly open my silver eyes and look around instead. I let out a deep breath that I didn't realize I was holding when I saw that nobody was around, although it wasn't too much of a good thing as I discovered that I was right about the concrete and the dingy basement smell. I was in a dark room, the dirty cement floor was cold, and there was a steel chain around my ankle, holding me to the floor. Steel bars sealed me off from the door with a tiny window where yellow light spilled in, illuminating the several locks not only on the jail cell but also on the door. As loneliness started to fight the sense of fear at the fact that I didn't even have Scar, the one thing from my past that I slightly remembered, I scooted myself back to the corner, pulling my knees to my chest and stretching Green's shirt over them to keep me warmer. Burying my face in my knees I inhaled deeply, the two smells merging together and slightly calming me down, stoping the tears that were tingling at the corner of my eyes from spilling over.

"Green…Red…"

***

"Green? Are you here?"

"I'm in here." Green answered as he waved his hand without looking up from some papers. Professor Oak had asked him to come down so he could look at something strange in the Pokedex but by the time Green arrived, he had forgotten that he didn't have it. Luckily, Red was at home visiting instead of up on that stupid mountain so he came by, hence here they were, staring at some papers trying to figure out exactly what Professor Oak wanted them to know while he went out to experiment on the small malfunction that Blue had pointed out to him.

"Why are you in Pallet Town?"

"Gramps called me in." Green said as he looked up to see their visitor, her long blonde hair up in a pony-tail that wasn't covered by a straw hat today, her Pikachu with a flower running to see Pika. "Why are you here Yellow?"

"Well, I heard that Red was in…" She started, a small blush forming on her face as she looked around but didn't see him.

"Yeah, he had said he'd be right back."

"That's not why I came here though, you scared me!" Yellow complained in an agitated tone, crossing her arms as her eyes searched for Red.

"What do you mean?" Green questioned slowly, as Yellow shook her head.

"I went to the Gym to see if Red was there and the doors were left wide open, and the place was a mess. I thought you were more responsible then that." Green felt the blood disappear from his face as he paled and stood up slowly, walking over to Yellow as her face went from angry to worry. "Are you ok? Green?"

"What do you mean the Gym was open?"

"The doors were open and all the things inside were tossed over. You didn't leave it open?"

"Shit!" Green yelled suddenly, bolting past Yellow and bursting out of the lab, his green eyes searching frantically for a missing Red. He couldn't have left; his Pika was still beside him looking up at him concerned. "RED!" Green yelled again, cupping his hands around his mouth in an attempt to make himself louder.

"Green, what's happening?" Yellow begged as she tugged on his shirt.

"Chuu!" Pika suddenly cried, jumping on Green's shoulders and pushing his head to the side.

"Oh no…" Green whispered as he let himself fall to his knees, landing in front of Scar with the Pokedex in its mouth, its ears and tail down as it sadly sat down in front of him, dropping the Pokedex from its mouth.

"Green! Tell me what's happening!" Yellow begged again, as she looked down at the Houndour.

"No, Yellow, you tell me!" Green said hopefully, turning to look at her as she nodded, kneeling down and putting her hand on Scar's head and closing her eyes. "What do you see? What happened?"

"His words are frantic, but his memories are clear. There's a girl with brown hair and silver eyes being held up by…Oh, a Team Rocket grunt! This Pokedex, it's yours Green?" Green grabbed his Pokedex from off the ground, opening it and nodding slowly.

"She's gone…"

"Not for long." Red growled angrily, shocking both of them as they turned to see him standing by the door with Professor Oak.

"Scar, where did they go?" Yellow asked as the Houndour shook its head, whimpering slightly.

"This is bad." Professor Oak mumbled slowly as Yellow looked at everyone, then back at Scar. She saw the memories of who took that girl, but she also saw everything Houndour knew, all the way back to when Red and Green caught him and gave him to the girl as a present. Parts where Red and Green would enter that small room were blanked out but Yellow guessed that they were in the Gym.

"Arcanine!" Green commanded as he threw a ball, the light flashing to reveal the large orange and black dog Pokémon, who he held out his Pokedex to. "I need you to use your nose to try and find someone." Suddenly a long howl sounded from Arcanine, indicating that he had a scent that wasn't Green's or Scars as Green jumped onto it's back, holding out his hand for Red to jump up as well. Accepting his hand, he was pulled up onto its back, holding up an empty Pokeball that sucked Scar into it, he put it in his pockets as they bolted off into the distance.

"She's very important to them." Yellow whispered as they watched the shadow of Arcanine disappear into the distance. "Is that why Team Rocket took her?"

"Yes. They all grew up together..." Professor Oak nodded with a grave look on his face, making it obvious that he was worried as well. "Red, Green, Grey."

***

"I guess this is it. Arcanine and Growlithe have extremely sensitive noses." Green said as he jumped down, Red following him. Looking up they found themselves staring at a beaten down building hidden just outside Viridian City. "I guess it's an old base of theirs."

"Yeah."

"Arcanine, can you pinpoint the area she's being held in?" Green asked as the Pokémon put its nose on the ground, running around the battered building a few times before nodding and leading them over to a corner of the building with a bolted door.

"So you came?" A voice questioned from around them, a flash of light passing to reveal several Arbok and Golbats.

"Tch. You think that's going to stand a chance against us?" Green snickered as Red threw a Pokeball, sending out Pika as its cheeks sparked with electricity. "Flamethrower!"

"Iron tail." They commanded, flames billowing out of Arcanines mouth as Pikas tail started to shine while it jumped into the air, slamming its tail into several Golbat.

"Pathetic! Where is she?" Green demanded as all the Pokémon before them fell. "Hmph. He's gone. Coward."

"You take a hostage to lure out the champion and a gym leader, and you attack with this?" Red scoffed angrily as he looked down at Scars shaking Pokeball. "Hm?"

"Is it trying to say no?" Green questioned as Scar continued to move around in his Pokeball, his head moving back and forth.

"Did you really think we'd take her somewhere so close?" The voice piped up again from the bushes. "We know you have an Arcanine, Viridian Gym Leader Green. We're not so stupid as to hold her so close to the town."

"We'll find her no matter where you keep her." Green argued as he called out his Scizor to snip the locks on the door.

"First one of you chases our leader away and then the other takes his place in the Gym? You'll never get her back. Not until we're done with her."

"What does that mean?" Red yelled angrily as the hidden grunt just laughed, his voice fading off into the distance. Pivoting around Green angrily kicked the door in as it slammed against the wall inside, light flowing in to illuminate an empty basement room with jail cell bars, a chain to hold someone down to the floor in the corner.

"She was here, we were just to slow." Green whispered sadly as they looked down at the chains on the floor, small amounts of red blood on them. "She should have kept the Pokedex…I could have borrowed Blue's and then we'd have a chance to find her when all three of them synchronized."

"She was thinking about you, not her." Red replied in his blank voice, placing his hand on Green's shoulder as he tried to lead him back up the steps.

"We should grab one of those Golbats and bring them to Yellow, maybe they have something in their memory that we can use."

"Yeah. Saur, tie them up." Red nodded as his Venusaur appeared wrapping its vines around a Golbat as Green pulled out his phone.

"I'm going to call the Professor and see if he can dig anything up on any Team Rocket sightings."

"Check the Gym." Red added as he started walking away, Saur following him down the narrow path, trampling some trees as it went. Taking Red's advice Green jumped onto his Arcanine and took off towards his Gym hoping there'd be something left behind that they could use. It only took him about three minutes to get to the Gym with Arcanines speed. Yellow must have closed the doors when she left but when Green stepped inside he understood why she was so worried. There were papers thrown everywhere, things knocked over, holes punched in the walls in an attempt to find the hidden room that Grey was in.

"Maybe the cameras…" Green thought out loud to himself as he ejected the tapes and put them in his pockets. There wasn't much that he could do here, so he should be able to inspect everything and get back to Pallet town at the same time Red got there since he was walking. Turning the corner to see the door for Grey's room wide open Green sighed. "We should have trained her, not hidden her. There's nothing here, let's go back and look at the tapes Arcanine."

"Red, you're back!" Yellow smiled as the Professor's lab door opened, revealing Red and Saur with the Golbat in its vines who extended them across the room and stopped in front of Yellow. Nodding without being asked Yellow extended her hand and placed it on the Golbats head, closing her eyes as she sifted through its memories.

"Anything?" Red asked after a while as he looked over to see Green bounding down the path.

"Not very much… the Golbat did see Grey in the abandoned old place that you were at, but she's not there anymore…the same guy that was in Scar's memories brought her there but someone else took her after that."

"Grandpa, I have tapes from my Gym, they didn't take them."

"Here, just let me get this out…" Professor Oak mumbled to himself as he took the tapes from Green and put the first one in a projector.

"The ones from Grey's room." Green confirmed as they saw a video of Grey blushing on the bed, the two boys standing in front of her as Red pat Green on the shoulder and left. "Uh, we should just fast forward past this." Green urged frantically as his face turned pink, pushing the button to skip everything just as he pushed her against the wall.

"Uhm. Keep going…" Red mumbled until they came to a part where Grey was alone and sleeping on the bed, Scar curled up in her arms. The door opened to reveal a grunt moving over to her, grabbing her by the arms and lifting her as she kicked and tried to wiggle herself free. Green and Red could feel the anger inside them rise as she ordered Scar to escape with the Pokedex, her foot connecting with his knee as he threw her to the ground and kicked her in the back of the head.

"Red…G-Green…" Grey whispered as the grunt looked up at the camera and smiled, throwing something at it as static took over.

"Bastards." Red whispered as Green closed his eyes, trying to steady his breathing and calm down.

"What about the other tape?" Yellow asked as Professor Oak nodded and switched the tapes. "Hey, look…" She continued as they watched the grunt take Grey out of the room and pass her to someone else.

"What?" Professor Oak asked as Yellow stopped the tape and pointed at the screen.

"Look, he's cleaning something up! Is that…"

"It looks like ash?" Green questioned as they all leaned in to try and get a better look.

"Volcanic ash? Didn't Cinnabar Island erupt not long ago?" Yellow asked as Professor Oak nodded, turning on a computer and dialling a number. After a few rings the familiar face of Blaine appeared on the screen.

"Hello, Oak! It's been a while, what can I help you with?"

"Hello Blaine. Team Rocket has taken Grey, and we found volcanic ash on the tapes. Have there been any issues with them there?"

"If you mention it, yes, but not enough to involve anyone. It's been just some grunts running around trying to cause trouble."

"Does one look like this?" Green asked as he held up the screen the tapes were playing on and pointed to the Grunt that kicked Grey.

"Yes actually, he seems to be second in command here. I've tried to catch him many times but the crimes have been so small that it hasn't been a priority…"

"It is now." Green smiled as Red nodded, both of them sending out their flying Pokémon, Aerodactyl and Charizard, taking to the skies before anyone could turn around.

"Do you think she's here?" Blaine asked as Professor Oak sighed.

"I hope so."

"Me too." Yellow mumbled as she pet her Pikachu sadly.

***

"If you would just talk this would go a lot smoother." The creepy grunt laughed as he tapped his feet against the ground. They had moved me from wherever they had me last quickly; blindfolding me so that I couldn't see where we were flying too, but this new place looked a lot like the other one.

"I told you, I don't remember."

"I don't believe you."

"That's too bad for you, because even if I did remember I wouldn't tell you."

"We'll see about that." The grunt threatened as he got to his feet, walking over to me and stepping on the cold metal chain around my ankle, causing it to cut more into my skin, and I could feel the blood trickling down my foot but I refused to make a noise. He had been doing this same punishment whenever I didn't talk, and the first time I couldn't help but cry out which seemed to please him. Eventually he moved his foot and stomped out of the room, locking the doors from the outside as I released my tongue from in between my teeth. My tongue wasn't the only thing that hurt though, although it was sore from biting it to stop from crying out in pain, the back of my head was still throbbing and now my ankle was probably going to get infected.

"All because I won't talk…" I sighed and leaned back against the wall. The dingy basement smell was starting to seep into the shirt I was wearing, taking away the only source of comfort I had found in being captured. "But I really don't remember…" I whispered as the tears stung behind my eyes, threatening to spill over. "Red, Green…please find me soon…"

"They'll never find you." A female voice answered as she laughed. "We know all about them. What Pokémon they have, what Professor Oak has access to. We know everything there is to know to make sure they'll never find you."

"You don't know them as well as you think then."

"Do you know them as well as you think?"

"W-what do you mean?" I countered as another laugh bounced around the room. Where was she?

"If you honestly don't remember anything… then you don't remember them either, do you?"

"…No…"

"And yet you trust them to save you? You're so upset about being in this room half naked with strangers, yet you didn't know them there either."

"It was different."

"How? Because we're hurting you instead of kissing you?"

"Go away."

"Why? Am I making you think of something you hadn't considered before? If you grew up with them why are you so weak when Red is the champion and Green is a Gym Leader?"

"I don't know…"

"And why were they keeping you locked up? They should have just trained you instead, shouldn't they?"

"I said I don't know."

"They admitted to both having feelings for you, why don't they react with jealousy over the other?"

"I don't know!" I screamed throwing my hands over my ears and tucking my knees up against my chest, my heart racing as all her words swirled in my head.

"Face it girl, you were nothing but a hostage there just as you are here." Silence followed her cruel laugh and I wasn't sure if she was actually gone or if the sound of my heart racing in my ears drowned out her words, but I kept them there anyways, trying to ignore what she said. I didn't know the answers to the questions she asked, or what they had taken me in the first place you find out. I could feel my thoughts spinning out of control, but I couldn't find a way to stop them even though I knew deep down they weren't true.

"If I was just a hostage…then they aren't coming for me…they'll just find a new girl. Is that what you're saying? How did you know what happened between us in that room?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying. So you'd best try and work out your memory loss before we get back. Because either you remember, or we get rid of you." A loud explosion caught my attention as I uncovered my ears to hear several people yelling what sounded like orders and footsteps running past the door, which was suddenly swung open, a girl that I assumed was the one talking to me just now marching in with a blindfold in her hand. Her words were still spinning in my head, forming a bitter cloud in my chest to form, darkening my already negative mood as she grabbed my arm and pulled me roughly to my feet. "Get up, we're going." She barked as she let go to tie the blindfold around my head.

"Fuck you." I scoffed as I let my legs give out, not even bothering to try to stand as her face darkened and she knelt down holding the blindfold up to my eyes. Turning my head quickly, the blindfold slid up my forehead causing me to laugh as her frustration grew.

"No blindfold then!" She growled. Pain stabbed at my shoulders as she roughly arranged my arms behind me with one hand, unlocking my ankle only when she had a firm grip on me.

"I'm not standing or walking."

"You will if you don't want to be dragged along the concrete!"

"I don't care." I smiled up at her, as she glared down at me, pulling me by the arms as she dragged me out of the door. The pain of the concrete scraping across my bare legs wasn't as bad as the pain in my shoulders as she dragged me, but I wasn't going to walk. Looking up at her frowning face I let out a laugh. "Are you angry? Gee, that sucks. I mean, it was you that inspired me to change my mood, after all. That was the whole point of your little speech, wasn't it? To make me upset enough to rat them out? Tch, you're pathetic. I don't know where Giovanni is, I don't care where he is, and you'll never find him. Because he probably thinks you're pathetic too."

"Shut up you maggot!" She yelled as she pulled on my arms, lifting me off the ground as she pivoted her weight, slamming me into the wall, my vision flickered with little white spots but I laughed anyways.

"Haha! I don't know what you idiots did to cause an explosion in your own headquarters, but hurting me isn't going to make you any less stupid."

"That's not what happened!" She yelled back out of anger, a look crossing her face as she continued to drag me down the hallway at a faster pace.

"What's happening then…?" I asked quietly as she ignored me, pulling me as fast as she could until she came to a door. I wasn't sure how strong my legs would be, especially with my ankle in the condition it was in but a smirk crossed my face as I spread my legs, hooking my ankles on the door frame and preventing her from going forwards as she jerked back. As much as everything on me hurt I couldn't help but burst into laughter, even when she kicked both my knees, making my legs fall from the door.

"I figured you'd try to escape again." A voice growled low as my laughter caught in my throat, my heart stopping as the girl stopped dragging me, cursing repeatedly. I could feel my eyes gloss over as I tried to turn around but her grip on my shoulders stopped me. I hadn't realized that she had actually made me think they weren't coming, but my reaction to his voice washed all her words away, my mind calming and the pain numbing.

"Green!" I yelled as I struggled against her grip, getting nothing but more pain. As I stopped struggling I noticed that there was a shadow coming down the long hallway that we had just come out of, and I could hear footsteps pounding against the concrete until I could make out the figure of Red. He was running down the hallway with Saur behind him, his crimson eyes that I thought looked scary before looked terrifying now, almost glowing with anger as they glared daggers at the girl holding me. Did Green look that angry? I wondered as Saur's vines whizzed past me, wrapping around the girls body in a split second as it lift her up, her grip slowly sliding off my arms as I rose with her until she finally let go. I wasn't very high up but I was still grateful that Green caught me before I fell on my face, his arms holding mine gently from behind. His grip loosened for a split second before he pivoted me around and wrapped his arms around me in a tight hug that I would have returned if the pain in my shoulders didn't prevent me from moving my arms. I felt another pair of arms loop around my body to embrace me as the familiar chill of Red's skin set in. The tears stung at my eyes again but this time I couldn't stop them as I buried my face into Green's neck, teardrops landing on his neck and shirt.

"We finally found you." Red whispered into my ear as I felt my conscious slip away again.

***

When I came to again I almost expected to be on cement again but instead I was on a soft bed, what I assumed was Scar was curled up under one of my arms as I heard water dripping, a warm facecloth touching my ankle as I jerked awake when it burned.

"Sorry." Green smiled softly as he withdrew the facecloth and started dabbing gently at the dried blood around the wound. A gloved hand made its way into my vision as it touched m shoulder, lightly pushing me back into a lying down position as I realized that my head wasn't on a pillow, but Red's lap as he smiled down at me while Green cleaned my ankle.

"You ok?" He asked as I shrugged, wincing at the pain in my shoulders when I did so.

"Better then I was." I joked as I looked down to see Green rubbing a weird gel on my ankle, making the pain start to numb away as he grabbed some gauze and wrapped it up, giving me a huge smile as he finished.

"Thank you…Both of you." I smiled softly as I felt Scar's tongue lick my cheek, his tail wagging as he did.

"Of course." Red laughed as he brushed my bangs out of my eyes and helped me sit up.

"But, me and Red decided on something."

"What?"

"He's going to come down off that stupid mountain and stay at my place with me and you. You won't be alone again; you'll always be with either both of us or one of us."

"And we're going to train you." Red added as Green nodded in agreement.

"We'll start with Scar, and then get you some more Pokémon after. But for now, I'm lending you Charizard."

"And I'm giving you Saur."

"Will they listen to me?" I questioned as I remembered how you need badges for some Pokémon to respect you.

"Normally no, they wouldn't, but you shouldn't have to command them, they'll just be extra protection."

"Here." Red added as he held out his hand to me, a small chain with a medium sized orb dangling from it.

"A necklace?" I asked as I struggled to lift my arm and grab it from him, putting it around my neck.

"It's Scar's Pokeball. We disguised it so that no matter what you can have him with you without anybody but us three knowing." Green explained as he touched the center of the orb, opening it to reveal the inside of a Pokeball. A smile crossed my face as I looked down at Scar and my gift and nodded.

"Alright. I will get stronger." I nodded as Scar let out a howl.
