Red the Rocket

Chapter IV

~Three Months Later~

Red walked through the Rocket Hideout.  He had come back to get information on the missing eighth Gym leader.  Everyone who seemed to know something smirked and told him to go to Giovanni.  The young trainer finally walked to the elevator that lead to Giovanni's private study.

"Mr. Giovanni?"

"Admin, come in.  I assume you are here because you are looking for information about the eighth Gym Leader?"

"Yes, Sir."

"Look no further, I am the eighth Gym Leader."

"So, to collect all eight badges I must defeat you?"

"Oh, no, I know you are capable of defeating my Gym team, so, partially because of your loyalty, I give you my Gym Badge."

"Thank you, Sir."

"If you can defeat the Pokemon League, well, that would be most beneficial to Team Rocket."

"Of course, however, I feel that I should train my team further first."

"Logical approach, has that last Pokemon of yours evolved yet?"

"Machoke, yes, he is a Machamp."

"You plan on defeating the entire Pokemon League with just five Pokemon, leaving your sixth slot unfilled?"

"I have yet to find a suitable Pokemon to fill that slot."

"Well, I wish you luck."

"Thank you, Sir."

Red then left the base and released Charlie.

"To the top of Mount Silver, there we can train to be tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties."

~One Year Later~

Red stood at the entrance to the Pokemon League.  He smirked, for the Team Rocket Admin knew that his team was far superior to those inside.

"Charlie, finish this clown off with Air Slash."

Charlie sliced his wing through the air, creating a cutting edge that flew into Lance's Dragonite.  The Dragon type went flying into the wall and then unconscious.

"You have beaten me, and are now the Champion.  Or, you would be, but someone else has already beaten the Elite Four, meaning you must defeat them as well."

"No problem, Charlie here just defeated every last one of you."

Red confidently walked through the door to the Champion's room, to find Blue Oak standing across from him.

"Red!  You filthy Rocket member!  Today I will defeat you before locking you away in prison."

"No, today is the first day of my rule over Kanto."

Blue sent everything he had against Red, who used Sandy to demolish most of his team before she fainted.  Red then used Georgia to finish off Blue.  The grandson of Professor Oak had put forth his best, but was crushed by the Mount Silver trained Pokemon.

"I win Blue, today begins a new era."

"The politicians still have their powers."

"Not for long."

"Blue!  I came to congratulate you, but by the time I got here you have already lost to Red.  I am so proud of you Red!"  Professor Oak stated as he walked in.
