Pokemon Syndicate

Episode 1: Leadership?

"Treeko! Froakie! Riolu! Distract them" yelled Chimchar, setting flames to molotov cocktails with his Ember attack. Riolu led the others in using Quick Attack to run circles around the Skuntank and Purrugly.

"Give up! You're outclassed" demanded Skuntank, just before stomping the ground to initiate an Earthquake attack.

"Jump" yelled Froakie.

"Got it" said Riolu and Treeko as they leaped into the air. Assuming that they were in the clear, Purrugly joins them in the air, bearing her claws for a Fury Swipes attack.

"Shit! Brace yourself for this guys" said Riolu before using Force Palm with both it's paws. He pushed Froakie and Treeko out of the way of Purrugly's claws and delivered a super effective blow to his rib cage. Purrugly flew back, not able to land on her feet as a normal cat would.

"Finally..." Chimchar said to himself. He throws the cocktails into the windows of different offices inside of the building, setting fire to files, documents and electronics.

"No!!! We'll lose our jobs! Purrugly, what are you doing?" screamed Skuntank.

"You have your own problems to deal with, Stinky. Riolu, combine attacks with me."

"Let's do it!" Riolu replied.

"Water Pulse!"

"Force Palm!"

"Torrential Torpedo!"

The combined efforts of Riolu and Froakie unleashed a missile of water launched towards Skuntank.

"Not this time, you punks! Sludge Bomb!"

Skuntank counters the attack with a bullet of poisonous slop. The two attacks explode upon impact with each other, creating a hazy fog within the hall.

"Oh, carbon dioxide and other delicious fumes! It's time for a little bit of photosynthesis."

Treeko takes in the toxic gas left over from the explosion.

"I feel so much more powerful, guys! Watch this! Quick Attack!"

Treeko was even faster than ever, running along the wall to pick up speed for a pinball style Pound attack to Purrugly to finish her off. Leaving her unconscious, Treeko then focuses his attention to helping out his teammates deal with a very powerful Skuntank security guard.

"That was pretty dope, Treeko, but we're kind of in a bind over here, too." said Froakie.

"Oh, no. We're fine. Take your time. It's not like this building is on fire or anything." added Riolu.

Detecting their sarcasm, Treeko rushes to help, staving off the thought of an obvious type disadvantage. He uses his speedy Quick Attack to wrap vines around Skuntank's legs with Grass Knot.

"Please. You really think these skimpy vines can hold me?" Skuntank chuckles.

"No, but they'll inconvenience you long enough for..."

"For what?" Skuntank asked.

"For this. Look up."

Skuntank looks up at Chimchar using Taunt and pouring gasoline all over his fur and face."

"You little bastard! How dare you?!"

"Time to exit guys" Chimchar said to his teammates. "We're gonna exit through the broken window."

"Ok, cool...wait what? This building is about 20 stories high" replied Riolu."

"And we're on the 17th floor" added Froakie.

"You think we'll survive the fall?" asked Treeko.

"Trust me, guys. We're leaving."

"Like hell you will. I'll crush you!" Stuntank screamed.

"You've already tried and failed miserably" Chimchar replied, using Taunt.

"You think you're funny kid?"

"No, I think you're stupid. And we know for a fact that we're getting out of here. Alive. So, bring it on you fat ass, smelly rodent."

"Aaaaaah! Die! EXPLOSION!!!!!!!!!!!"

Skuntank uses a desperate Explosion attack out of anger, forgetting the gasoline soaked into his fur. Riolu, Chimchar, Treeko, and Froakie jump out of the window in the nick of time, escaping being swept up by the flames from the building.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" yelled Riolu, Treeko, and Froakie as the group of four fall towards the concrete below.

"Ralts. We're ready" said Chimchar to himself.

Ralts, hearing the call telepathically, replies "Got it. Confusion!"

Ralts helps the team land safely on the ground below.

"Mission accomplished. Good job, team" Riolu said, complimenting his teammates.

"You're a bastard, you know that right, Chimchar? What the hell was that? Not telling us the exit strategy? I think that's something that should've been discussed at the briefing" said Froakie.

"Well, here's a debriefing. Ralts was gonna be on standby to help with the escape. Certain details couldn't be disclosed for Ralt's safety. You know we still haven't found out who tapped our phones and hacked our databases. We're a small band of mercenaries for hire. I'm still trying to figure out what anybody would want with our files." Chimchar replied.

"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm tired" Treeko said.

"And hungry" added Riolu.

"I know a good place downtown that serves the best Kingler alfredo." said Ralts.

"Your treat?" replied Riolu.

They all laughed, excluding Froakie and Chimchar.

"Let's go guys" said Ralts. "It's not my treat, but I do have this coupon for 4 or more guests."

They all begin to walk, leaving Froakie and Chimchar to catch up.

"We're gonna finish this conversation later. Let's go." said Froakie.

"Hmm..." replied Chimchar.
