Pokémon Red

R for Rocket (Red)

'Red, so your battle is with me then', said Blue. 'I'll pray to God that you lose'.

'Oh, yeah ? And I pray that you lose', I said.

'Hey, I just remembered', said Leaf, stopping my argument with Blue.

'What ?', I asked.

'Where is Sabrina ?', asked Leaf.

Leaf and I stood still, like it was tension scene in some movie. It was going out so well but Blue interrupted.

'Hey, stop. Let's go find her', said Blue. 'Hurray'.

'She must be inside her room', said Leaf.

We quickly got upstairs to see if she was there or not. The room was neat and clean as new.

'Did anyone even stay here ?', asked Blue.

'Sabrina', shouted Leaf.

'See, a note', I said, picking a parchment from the table.

I slowly opened it and we started reading it.

Dear Leaf and Red,
I'm sorry I'll have to go, I have to do one last thing before the Team Rocket completely dissolves. I am going to one of their hideouts and will be there for a few days, don't come looking for me.

'A Team Rocket Hideout ?', said Blue.

'Another, Team Rocket Hideout', I said.

'So, let's go find it', said Leaf.

We ran outside the League. It was drizzling, the water was really cold, maybe colder than Lapras's Ice Beam.

'In the letter she said that the Hideout is somewhere near the League', said Leaf.

'But us there a place with that much area near the League ?', I asked.

Leaf and I looked at Blue, who was running in the open field towards the same tree as in my dream.

'Yes, there is', said Leaf.

We ran towards Blue who sat beneath the tree, relaxing.

'Pokedex scan this tree', said Leaf.

'Mahogany Tree, is a type of tree belonging to kingdom Plantae according to the biological grouping of organisms. 88 % are found in Mahogany Town, Johto. And the rest 12 % are found in the Plant Observation Centre, Hoenn', explained the Pokedex.

'If the tree can only be found in Johto and Hoenn, then how is it here ?', I asked.

'Cause it planted here for a reason. Look around, this is a big place for a Team Rocket Base', said Leaf.

'Calm down. It's called Hideout, don't try to rhyme', said Blue.

'But this place is empty, there is no base here', I said.

'It's not base, it's hideout', said Blue.

'Red, look at the back of the tree, look for something interesting', said Leaf.

'Will you both stop becoming Sherlock Holmes and at least listen to me ?', shouted Blue. 'Fine, I'm also doing the same'.

'Found it !', I said.

'Found what ?', asked both.

It was an R logo on the back. Thank God it wasn't painted pink.

'Great', said Blue. Blue touched the logo and it was actually a button. The tree shook and pathway opened in the trunk.

Blue hopped inside and jumped. Leaf went second and I went third. It was a slide, sliding down to some place.

It was dark. Blue fell off as the slide ended, Leaf fell on him and I survived, I stopped myself gently before falling.
