Chapter 59: Team Rocket part 5
It had been a few days sense the whole Team Rocket incident, as Ash was the jba bench of the Goldenrod city park with Haru and Whitney.
Ash then spoke. "So how is going with you two legendary friend".
Haru just spokee a she sigehd. "My sister somehow managed to convince Suicune to wear a made outfit when she is In her human form, do it know how to feels to be woke up by a legendary Pokemon calling you master".
Ash just sighed as he spoke. "You think that is bad, I never thought Raikou human personality is Tomboy, she keeps on looking at me an then Pikachu and then saying 'why do need that rat when you have me', it was supires to say the less".
Whitney then spoke laughing. "Yeah, but I think I have the easiest with Entai, even do when she is humans she look like Human girl, still she takes way to much joy in me defeating trainer's".
Ash the spoke looking at Whitney. "Didn't Brock say Entai is a Loli? What is even that word".
Whitney chuckled at Ash's confusion. "Well, Brock probably meant that Entei's human form has a youthful appearance, like a little girl, but with an older, more mature presence. It's a bit hard to explain. It's like, she looks young but doesn't act it. She can be fierce when she needs to be."
Haru nodded, recalling the events. "Yeah, Entei's human form definitely doesn't match her power. It's almost like she's pretending to be innocent, but there's an undeniable strength behind it. I think she's just enjoying the whole 'acting cute' thing while still being a powerhouse."
Ash scratched his head. "I still don't get it. These legendary Pokémon are all so... complicated."
Whitney smiled. "It's part of their charm, Ash. You just need to get used to it."
Haru leaned back on the bench, letting out a deep breath. "Honestly, I never expected this to happen. I thought I'd be dealing with normal battles, but now, I have a legendary Pokémon calling me 'master.' It's a weird feeling."
Ash grinned. "Well, at least Suicune and the others are nice, right?"
Haru paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yeah, they're definitely not what I expected. But it's... comforting in a way. They care, even though they're literal gods in disguise."
As the group laughed, the peaceful moment was interrupted by the sound of footsteps approaching. A familiar figure emerged from the trees – it was Brock.
"Hey, guys!" Brock called out, walking over with a grin on his face. "I see you're having a nice break. Did you guys manage to deal with the legendaries?"
Whitney smirked. "We're managing, but Haru's got a thing for making Suicune wear outfits. I think she's developing a new sense of fashion."
Brock laughed. "Ah, that's interesting. So, what's the deal with Raikou? I heard she's pretty tough."
Ash sighed, looking up at the sky. "Tomboy doesn't even begin to describe her. She's like a whirlwind of energy. It's a challenge just to get her to calm down."
Haru added, "But we're all getting along. It's just... a lot to handle sometimes."
Brock gave them an encouraging smile. "You'll get the hang of it. Legendary Pokémon are strong, but they need guidance just like any other Pokémon. Just make sure you give them respect and understanding."
Ash nodded. "Right. We've got this."
The group of 4 then closed the eyes, a they opens they saw Celebi, they were shocked to see the legendary again.
Ash then spoke looking at Celebi. "Celebi, what are you doing here"
Haru got up as he looked at the legendary Pokémon. "This can't be good".
Celebi then spoke as the Pokémon looked at them. "I need your help, the timeline has some instability so you must be here, I have already done this so I must keep the time loop in check".
As then a flash of light hit Ash, Haru, Whitney and Leon, they opened they saw the sky was dark again, and they saw Team rocket helicopter and the mind control Pokémon, they were in Azalea town as they Saw Bugsy go in his Gym.
Celebi then spoke looking at them. "This is 2 weeks on the day of the rocket hide out".
Ash was ready to jump and help Bugsy but Celebi stopped. "No nro you". He pointed at Leon. "You"
Leon sent out his Charizard and then flyed down to hold back the rockets while Bugsy sent the message to get help.
As then Celebi body glows as Ash, Whitney and Haru were now in Mahogany town as they saw Pryce fighting, as in this time Pryce told Silver to go to Goldenrod city to help as Silver left.
Celebi then looked at Whitney. "This one is is your job".
Whitney the let out her Miltank and Staraptor as she went to help Pryce, as she joined him, as then Celebi took Haru and Ash to a different places, as they were in the middle of the road to Goldenrod City as they saw Casey and Harrison fighting many Team rocket Grunts
Ash looked at Pikachu as he spoken to Haru and Celebi. "You know this explains why Casey anf Harrison thanked me that day".
Ash then sent out his Typhlosion and Tyranitar and went to fight.
Haru then looked at Celebi. "So what about me, where do I fit in they time loop".
Celebi then spoke looking at Haru. "Your the most important one, as you need to stop him from rejoining team Rocket".
As blast of light happened as Haru was now in front of cave, it was the same day as he walked in the cave as he did he then saw who was inside the cave as his heart stopped.
As the was a man in trench coat, with a hat, his hair was slick back as he has black eyes and fair skin, under the trench coat was a business suit with an R on it, next to him was a Radio playing the Message where are you Giovanni from Team Rocket.
[ Insert image of Giovanni ]
Haru just looked at Giovanni as he spoke. "You Giovanni".
Giovanni opened his eyss as he saw Haru. "So someone found me, no matter I will defeat you and go back to Team rocket, Archer has done excellent job, and this Time even red won't be able to stop me".
Haru clenched his fists as he stood firm, the weight of the situation sinking in. Giovanni, the infamous leader of Team Rocket, was planning his return, and Haru knew he couldn't let that happen.
"Giovanni," Haru began, his voice steady but laced with determination, "you don't have to do this. Team Rocket's time is over. There's no need to drag yourself and everyone else down this path again."
Giovanni's expression remained stoic as he adjusted his trench coat. "You think a mere child like you can lecture me about paths and choices? Team Rocket is more than an organization; it's a legacy. One that Archer is continuing in my absence."
Giovanni pulled out a Pokéball, his calm demeanor replaced with a sharp edge of intensity. "But you've made a grave mistake coming here alone. If you truly wish to stop me, prove it in battle."
Haru's heart raced, but he knew he had no choice. This was the moment Celebi had prepared him for. He reached for his Pokéballs, summoning his first Pokémon. "If it's a battle you want, Giovanni, then I'll give it to you! But I'll make sure this ends here!"
Haru then let out his Swampert, Electivire, Meowth, Houndoom, Scizor, and Gyarados, Haru was not gonna play by the rules of the League for this battle to much was in risk.
Seeing this Giovanni sent out all his Pokémon, as he sent out his Pokémon as his Nidoking, Dugtrio, Nidoqueen, Persian, Rhyperior and Gliscor
Giovanni then looked at Haru red Gyarados. "A shiny Gyarados with that 10 times bigger then normal Amazing". He then looked at Meowth as he noticed the similarity between it and Persian. "It called it self Perfigther when it came out of your Pokéball, a new evolution for Meowth I am going to gess he is a fighting type".
Haru then looked at Meowth as Meowth looked back at Haru as they said one world to eachother with out saying it "Don't Talk" as Meowth understood it waa nro talk in this fight.
The air was thick with tension as both Haru and Giovanni's Pokémon faced off. Haru's Pokémon were eager for the challenge, their energy radiating around them. Giovanni, however, stood unmoved, confident in his Pokémon's strength. It was clear that this battle wasn't just about proving who was stronger—it was about stopping Giovanni from returning to his criminal ways.
Haru narrowed his eyes at Giovanni. "You're not going to get away with this. Not this time."
Giovanni smirked. "We'll see about that, Haru. I've always been one step ahead of those who oppose me." He gestured to his team. "Let's see how long you can last against my best."
"Swampert, use Surf!" Haru commanded, his voice steady. Swampert nodded, summoning a powerful wave that surged forward toward Giovanni's team. The wave crashed against Nidoking and Nidoqueen, sending them sliding back. Giovanni's Pokémon stood firm, but the attack caused significant damage.
"Rhyperior, counter with Stone Edge!" Giovanni barked, his voice sharp. Rhyperior stomped the ground, and sharp, jagged rocks shot up toward Swampert.
"Electivire, Thunder!" Haru called out, and Electivire's body crackled with electricity. It unleashed a powerful bolt of lightning, striking down the incoming Stone Edge and forcing Rhyperior to recoil. The attack caused an opening for Swampert to dodge the remaining stones.
Giovanni gritted his teeth, frustrated but unfazed. "Persian, use Fake Out on Electivire!" The sleek feline Pokémon darted forward, launching a quick attack that disrupted Electivire's focus.
"Scizor, Iron Head!" Haru shouted, and Scizor rushed in with blinding speed, using its steel-hard head to strike Persian before it could retreat. Persian stumbled back, clearly hurt by the blow.
Giovanni's face twisted into a sneer. "You're persistent, I'll give you that. But my Pokémon are far superior. Gliscor, Earthquake!"
"Watch out!" Haru shouted to his team. Gliscor slammed its tail into the ground, causing the earth to shake violently. Haru's Pokémon braced themselves, but the tremor knocked several of them off balance.
"Meowth, Perfigther!" Haru ordered. With a determined glance, Meowth sprang into action, charging at Gliscor before unleashing a barrage of punches, using the Fighting-type power it had recently gained.
Giovanni watched in awe. "Impressive… it seems your Meowth has truly evolved into something extraordinary."
Haru smiled grimly. "That's right. And it's not done yet!"
"Meowth, use Close Combat!" Haru commanded. Meowth lunged forward with rapid, precise strikes, landing blows on Gliscor and weakening it significantly. With a final punch, Gliscor collapsed to the ground, defeated.
Giovanni's expression hardened. "You're making this more difficult than I anticipated, Haru." He withdrew Gliscor and sent out his next Pokémon. "Dugtrio, finish them off with Magnitude!"
"Dugtrio's Magnitude will be dangerous," Haru warned. "Everyone, stay on your guard!"
"Houndoom, Fire Blast!" Haru called out from the sidelines, his Houndoom leaping forward to counter Dugtrio's attack. The fiery blast was powerful enough to send the ground-shaking Magnitude off course, causing Dugtrio to retreat in fear of the intense flames.
"Rhydon!" Giovanni called, his voice filled with frustration. "Show them the true power of Team Rocket!"
With both sides feeling the weight of the battle, the atmosphere became heavier, more intense, with each Pokémon giving it their all. The powerful attacks from Giovanni's team, matched by Haru's strategic thinking and his Pokémon's teamwork, left the field cracked and scorched.
"We're getting closer," Haru muttered to himself, tightening his grip on his Pokéball. "Giovanni's not leaving here today. Not with his plans intact."
Giovanni smirked, but there was a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes. "You may think you've got me cornered, but I will return stronger. You'll see." He paused, then motioned for his team to advance again. "Nidoking, use Poison Jab!"
"Electivire, Thunder Punch!" Haru countered, and the battle raged on, the two leaders locked in a deadly dance, each determined to come out on top. But in the back of Haru's mind, the feeling that the true test had only just begun loomed over him.
This wasn't just a fight to defeat Giovanni—it was a fight to stop him from rejoining Team Rocket and setting his plans into motion once again. And Haru wouldn't let that happen.
Giovanni then looked at Haru. "It looks like neither one of us are using the Pokémon League Pokémon must you 4 moves only".
Haru then spoke looking at Giovanni as he spoke. "Why force my Pokémon to only use 4 moves against you when I have whole arsenal, Scizor use Sword Dance follow my X-SCISSORS, follow with by a Bullet Punch and use all on Gliscor".
Giovanni's eyes narrowed, clearly irritated by Haru's refusal to adhere to the League's restrictions, but also a smirk seeing that another person found that rule was dum. "You dare defy the battle rules?" he smirked. "Fine, if you think you can overwhelm me, then show me what you're really capable of."
Haru's Scizor flared with energy as it executed Haru's commands with remarkable precision. First, it danced in the air, its blades gleaming as it powered up with Sword Dance. The air seemed to vibrate with its increasing strength. The air was thick with tension as Scizor's muscles rippled in anticipation of the next move.
"Scizor, X-Scissors!" Haru ordered.
Scizor's claws crossed in front of its body before it charged at Gliscor, slashing with terrifying speed. The powerful X-Scissors struck Gliscor with a force that sent it skidding back several feet, a trail of dirt and dust following in its wake. But Giovanni was quick to act.
"Gliscor, Stone Edge!" Giovanni shouted. The ground beneath them trembled as Gliscor tried to fight back, hurling jagged rocks toward Scizor.
But Haru was already one step ahead.
"Scizor, Bullet Punch!" Haru commanded, and Scizor's claws flickered with rapid strikes, each punch landing with overwhelming speed, cutting through the rock projectiles before they could even reach its target.
The final Bullet Punch landed with perfect precision, striking Gliscor straight in the chest, sending it crashing to the ground, defeated.
Giovanni gritted his teeth, watching his trusted Pokémon fall. "Gliscor... NO!"
Haru didn't let up. "Scizor, you're doing great. We're not stopping here."
Giovanni slowly pulled another Pokéball from his belt. His voice was colder now, more threatening. "You may have defeated Gliscor, but you're not finished yet. You think you can simply overpower me? Let's see if your Pokémon can keep up with my strategy."
He released another Pokémon, sending out his Nidoking.
"Nidoking, Earth Power!" Giovanni commanded, and Nidoking stomped its foot to the ground, causing a massive shockwave that cracked the earth beneath them. The move aimed to destabilize Haru's team, but Haru was already prepared.
"Swampert, use Earthquake!" Haru countered swiftly. The ground trembled as both Pokémon clashed, causing massive shockwaves that shook the battlefield. Swampert stood firm, countering Nidoking's attack with its own, and the shockwaves from both moves collided in a deafening explosion of energy.
"Nidoking, follow up with Poison Jab!" Giovanni barked, but Haru was already thinking two steps ahead.
"Swampert, Hydro Pump!" Haru shouted.
With a powerful jet of water, Swampert countered Nidoking's Poison Jab, sending a jet of water that swept across the battlefield, hitting Nidoking directly. It wasn't enough to fully defeat Giovanni's Pokémon, but it weakened it considerably.
Meanwhile, Scizor took a moment to recover, but its eyes were locked on Giovanni, ready to move again at Haru's command.
Giovanni grimaced, but his confidence never wavered. "You're strong, but you'll need more than just raw power to defeat me. I've built an empire with my strategy, Haru. You've only scratched the surface of what Team Rocket is capable of."
Haru stood tall, meeting Giovanni's icy stare. "I'm not here to outplay you with strategy. I'm here to stop you from bringing Team Rocket back. You won't get a second chance." He pointed toward Giovanni, his voice firm. "This ends today."
The battle was reaching its climax, both sides giving everything they had, but Haru knew deep down that this moment would be the deciding factor in stopping Giovanni's return to Team Rocket. The future of Johto—maybe even the world—was at stake.
