"All right, then." Jackie moved at her normal pace behind the Beldum.
The Beldum floated along the passage. It soon led them to a ladder. A very faint light was streaming down from above.
"Of course we'll have stop at the gym and speak with the leader about the other stone." said Ray. "Hopefully nothing strange has happened there yet."
Ray looked towards the light which was harsh on his eyes. "We've found a way out, everyone!" and his pace quickened.
"The way this day is going, that's not going to be sunlight. The room it's coming from will probably be on fire or something."
"Oh, thank goodness." Jackie began up the ladder.
Greg follows after Jackie.
Ray continues on. "Onward to civilization!" he cried.
The room above was safe; nobody was there.
There were two passages in the room. Off to the left, a long passageway extended outwards; this is where the sunlight was coming from. Directly ahead of the ladder was another long passageway. From the very end of it, everyone could faintly hear voices yelling. There was a loud crack; as if there was a battle raging on up there.
The Beldum floated in the middle of the room, hesitant to move in either direction. He looked like he was waiting to see what everyone wanted to do.
Greg looks back and forth, then sighs. "We have to go away from the light, don't we?"
"Dammit. Really?" Jackie turned to the others. "Are we up for a fight?"
Ray sighed. "It might be Team Rocket." he said. "It might be important to the mission." He turned to the direction of the din of battle. "You're free to go on ahead if you want. Come, Phillip."
"All right, then." Jackie went to the dark passageway. Mercer sighed, and he and Brandon followed her.
Greg followed.
As they neared the top of the passageway, there was a loud thump, and a large black dog rolled down the passageway next to them, unconscious.
When they emerged from the passageway, the battlefield was a mess.
Dozens of Rocket members were littered against the walls and floor, unconscious or dead. Over a dozen Rocket members had crowded in a circle in the middle of the chamber, and there were other Rockets scattered around.
A Pokemon skidded to a stop in front of them. Its' eyes flicked over the group, stopping particularly on Jackie.
It was coloured reddish-orange, with blue stripes over its' body and one blue arm. Its' legs were black. It stood almost like a human, bipedal with only four limbs, but a single spike rose from the back of its' head.
Then it was off again, charging a Rapidash off to their left.
"Holy-!" Ray quickly brought his pokedex on the creature, while getting a safe distance away. "What is that thing?"
"Whoa..."
Jackie got her Pokedex out quickly. "Uhh . . . do we stay, or . . .?" She backed up a bit, along with Brandon and Mercer.
As they watched, the circle in the middle of the chamber split. They formed a line two men deep, and raised their hands. The entire cavern was illuminated with red light as they simultaneously released nearly two dozen Pokemon.
And behind them, a single Rocket grunt ran off, clutching a small purple ball in his hand.
"Best not to get caught in the crossfire." Ray said. "As soon as we've scanned it we should leave. Much too dangerous. It's fighting rockets but we don't know if it sees us as foes too."
as he saw the Rocket run off, he instinctively gave chase as well. "Get back here!"
"Oh, shit, I think we--" She saw the man with the purple orb in his hands running off. "One of them has something!"
"You've nowhere to run!" Ray bluffed as he gave chase. "More are coming! Best to give up now!"
Unfortunately, there was a line of Rockets in between them and the retreating Rocket grunt.
Jackie ran, too. Mercer and Brandon had little choice but to follow. She stopped a fair distance before the line of Rockets. "What have you done?"
The number of the rockets bringing the reality of the situation sobered Ray right up. "Fall back!" he cried.
Charles kept carrying Snow and charged right at a Rocket. "SNOW, POWDER SNOW!"
