There's no way I'm gonna join this guy. I bravely stood my ground. The Cubone must have heard what he said because she was gathering herself to attack us both, in case I turned on her. I would never turn on you, Cubone.

I looked at the Cubone, then at Mewtwo, then at Mew's ball. " No way." I said, unwavering. " No? You dare refuse my offer, kid? You've got some real guts picking on Team Rocket like this." He said. " But you're the one who doesn't have a Pokémon. Or do you happen to have another Pokémon?" I asked him, devilishly.

" You know, I went easy on you kid. I have plenty more Pokémon. But..." He began, a wide evil smirk plastered now on his face.

What do you... I saw another Cubone, a male, who was trying to run away. The man was staring directly at it. He walked over to it. The Cubone was frightened to death. He was shaking. But he was standing his ground.

Then a Marowak stood in front of him, protecting him with her body. The man lashed out at the Marowak. I dashed over and tried to wrench the stun baton out of his hand, but he elbowed me evilly. He then repeatedly slashed the Marowak. Nothing that I was doing seemed to make him stop. The Marowak screeched with pain. I couldn't stand to see her in pain like this. The little Cubone was trying to drag his mother away. " No! Don't help me! Run child, run!" Marowak ordered.

Crying, the little Cubone dashed over to me. " Help...sniffle...Mama! Please!" He begged me, looking up into my eyes, tearfully. " Leave her alone! Murderer!" I yelled at the man. He didn't stop. I saw fresh blood forming from the Marowak. Flakes of her skin was going everywhere.

Cubone was crying. He was holding my jeans, begging me to save her. I just decided then to tackle the guy, cause he wasn't stopping. I knocked him over. Marowak began gasping with pain. It looked as if she couldn't breathe. Blood was starting to pool around her. I didn't want to watch, but I had to.

I was wrestling with him. I was trying to get the baton. He punched me in the face. I screeched, and he wriggled free. " Leave that Marowak alone!" A squeaky girl voice said. I saw a bone striking the guys leg. It was the little Cubone I saved.

" Ugh. Little pests." He said, moving the Cubone away with his foot. That didn't stop the little bone headed Cubone. When I saw her head, I gasped.

" D-did you lose your mother?" I asked the little Pokemon. She swung her head at me, and gave a half smile.

" Do you really believe that this is the first time that Team Rocket had tried to kill us? Tried to rip us of our precious rare bones? Your a fool if you think that this is their first time." The little Cubone told me, tears in her sad eyes.

I was shocked when I saw Cubone spin around. The guy had punched her. In the skull head. She fell with a hard and sickening thud. Her mother's skull had broken. It then smashed to smithereens.

The Cubone's eyes were closed. The man gave an evil laugh. He then whipped the baton at the Cubone. " No!" I cried. He beat her again. She let out a sickening screech, which was cut off. I heard nothing. A tear slid down my cheek and I saw the man move back to attack the Marowak. The Cubone that I had saved, was dead.

The male Cubone still clung to my leg. He nuzzled the leg as if he were trying to comfort me. I really hate Team Rocket now. They are sheer murderers, death bringers, assassins. The man smiled widely. " Take that as a warning, child. Team Rocket will not tolerate people who get in their way." He told me.

The Marowak had fresh wounds. Her old ones were still pouring, no, they were gushing blood. Marowak had her eyes slotted. " Take care of my little...gasp...Cubone!" Then the Marowak's eyes closed, and I saw her ghost come out of her body. " You're so cruel!" I yelled.

He only grinned. " If you think that was cruel, then look at what I'm about to do." He said. He lifted the stun baton once more, and made a clean cut on the Marowak. Her head slid off. I gagged at the sight of seeing the head fall off the body.

Cubone wailed in loneliness. " Mother is gone! M-my only family member that was still alive is dead!" He howled. I felt bad for the little Cubone. I couldn't help crying a little at the fact that this world lost two great Pokémon to team rocket. And Mewtwo was just standing there like cold turkey.

He's not even expressing his thoughts at the moment. He was just staring. And how come the grunt has not noticed him yet?

The man looked as if he was about to kill the little Cubone that the Marowak had worked so hard to protect.

" I don't think so." I growled, shielding the little Pokémon with my body. The little Cubone sniffles and cries, burying his face in my jeans. " Give the Cubone." The man growled. " Never. I'll never let you kill any more Pokémon." I said, reaching in my pocket. The man lifted his eye brow.

I held the Cherish Ball in my palm. I tossed Mew's ball in the air. The pink cat popped out, looking at his surroundings with curiosity. " Mew, Pound." I told him, pointing at the guy in charge.

Mew gave me a playful look. " Yes madam!" He said, his paw swinging back, readying the attack. Mew floated over to the man who looked as if he had won the lottery. Mew swung his paw at him. It hit the guy's face. And he collapsed. He's weak. He is just weak. That's all he is.

We can totally kill him right now, and no one would have to know except us. But my heart tugged at me to not. I told Mew to come back. " Y-you have made an enemy of me." The man said, looking at me. " I will kill you and all that you love if it's the last thing I do." He threatened.

" Don't make empty promises." I said, looking at the bodies of the dead. I then surprised everyone including myself by punching the man. He was so surprised, he collapsed. " And don't hurt Pokémon just for profit. Because if you do... I will find you and hunt you down and do horrible, unthinkable things to you." I growled at him.

" You are wanted. We will take that Mew." He threatened, and all the grunts ran away. The Cubone left my side and ran to his bloodied mother, crying. He fell in the red pool and tried to attach his dead mother's head back on. It kept falling off of the body.

I gagged, feeling a bit dizzy at seeing this much blood. Also, I could see the mother's skull through the half backbone still attached to the head.

" Poor Cubone." Mew said with sympathy. " I don't like seeing that." I said, as I saw the Cubone pulling out body parts of his mother. Is he looking for her skull? Can you please just hurry up and find it?! I was already getting a little dizzy. The last thing that I needed was to see guts being pulled out and thrown.

Then the little Cubone found what he was looking for. " Aha!" He exclaimed, placing the blood soaked skull on his head. I gagged more. " Can you at least clean it? I don't like the sight of blood." Mew commented. " You and me both." I grumbled.

" Can you clean it?" He asked Mew. " Of course!" Mew said, thinking it was a game, and used Whirl pool to clean the blood out of it. " There you go!" He said, and he placed the skull back on the Cubone's head.

" Didn't Marowak ask me to take care of her Cubone?" I asked. " Yes I did. I'm sorry what happened." Marowak said. " You're a ghost." I commented. " Yes. And good bye!" She said, disappearing.

I looked back at her dead self. I felt even dizzier now. Is that possible? Then I felt myself fall. Does Cubone forgive me for letting her die? I wondered as I sank into darkness.

I will give it all back to you, Mewtwo (On Hold) (Finishing Sometime In Future)Where stories live. Discover now
