Pokemon: Ultimate Generations - Chapter 71

Pink wanted to check on Yellow, but her path was being blocked by the Gastly. Gastly’s level was higher than her Clefairy and every other Pokemon here. Gan sighed, Gastly knew not to bring her any real harm, as he instructed.

“Team Rocket, you won’t get away with this! How could you attack a defenseless little girl like that?!” Saffron was enraged seeing Yellow in that state, he thought she was weak but she certainly didn’t deserve this.

‘Yellow was even in this world?’ Gan was secretly shocked, it turned out that this blonde-headed girl was who he speculated it to be!

“Team Rocket! I vowed that I will certainly take down your evil organization one day!” Gray roared, he was also furious, they couldn’t even ȧssist the unconscious Yellow.

“Machop, Go! Give this evildoer a harsh lesson! Karate Chop!” Saffron thought he should take this time to have Machop take Gan down directly.

Machop didn’t hesitate, its eyes flashed with a strange glint before it started rushing towards Gan. Gan didn’t panic at all and just stood his ground unfazed.

“Chop!” Machop leaped off the ground and sent a chopping hand gesture attack toward Gan’s head!

Saffron grinned, if this Team Rocket character had any Pokemon in his arsenal left over—it was too late to summon them for help now.

Suddenly, Saffron, Pink, and Gray’s expressions changed into that of confusion. Why hadn’t Machop attacked yet? What was going on?

“What?!” That’s when they discovered it! Machop was levitating in the air, so it looked down in confusion before it started to panic.

“Awe, so close but yet…so far. You lose!” Gan swiped his finger right, then Machop went flying in that direction like a torpedo.

“CHOP!!” Machop slammed into a tree before falling to the ground unmoved.

“Machop! No!” Saffron’s heart jumped, as Saffron himself jumped in panic.

“This…” He could use Psychic powers?! There were very few Pokemon trainers that could do this or were born with these abilities. However, this wasn’t Gan’s doing, but Kadabra’s doing—who was currently hiding in the forest.

Now they were worried, this wasn’t a Grunt Team Rocket member from what they believed. This had to be at least an Agent ranked Team Rocket official, he was clearly working alone—as agents normally did.

They weren’t far from the truth since Gan call himself as such, but it was best to go with X as his name. He wasn’t really an agent and this might cause some misunderstandings later down line.

“How dare you, you bastard, I’ll tear you to pieces! Fight me!” Saffron’s eyes turned bloodshot, he seemed to have lost his mind.

“I’ll fight you fair and square. If you win, I’ll leave and quit Team Rocket to turn over a new leaf.” Gan nodded and said modestly.

“Turn over a new leaf? Haha, that’s a funny saying, but it’s good you know your place! You’ll have to pay for hurting my Machop either way! Don’t think you’re special because you unlocked some special power.”

“Saffron, be careful. He might be up to something, we all know that Team Rocket never plays fair.” Pink warned sternly, she didn’t trust these Team Rocket people to play fair.

Team Rocket members would always have some deadly trick hiding in the back to catch their foes off guard.

“Oh, are you worried about me? I’m flattered that-” Saffron was cut off, however.

“Just shut up and be careful! No one’s worried about you, you moron. This is a serious situation, stop screwing around!” Pink glared at Saffron coldly, this guy didn’t seem to understand the dangers around him.

“Right.” Saffron didn’t take her insults to heart before he turned back to Gan.

“Prepare yourself, you scumbag!” Saffron put up his guard, ready to fight Gan. Afterward, he quickly rushed Gan, ready to swing on and beat him. Saffron saw that Gan wasn’t moving, and started to believe he might use his psychic abilities.

However, when he saw Gan put up his guard, those thoughts were thrown to the wind.

With a sneer on his face, Saffron continued to rush Gan.

“Careful!” Gray hurriedly and said.

“Haha, just kidding!” Gan quickly reached for his holster and drew his netgun before shooting it at Saffron. Saffron was caught by the net and fell to the ground entangled like he was in a spider web.

“You…despicable!!” Saffron was so mad that his face had turned completely red, as he stared up at Gan hatefully.

Gan wasn’t a fighter, he had never fought in his life. Perhaps if that fighting Gym in Saffron city was real, he would take a few lessons there.

“You scumbag bas-” Before Saffron could finish his sentence, Gan’s foot landed on his face.

“Arg!” Saffron’s nose started to bleed from the impact.

“This backpack, I must have it, haha!” Gan took out a Pokeball and tossed it. Who appeared was a Machoke, he flexed his muscles before turning to Gan.

“Hold him hostage and take his backpack. Knock him out, I don’t like his eyes, they’re annoying to look at.” Gan took his foot off of Saffron’s face and took a step back.

Saffron stared up at Machoke in surprise before he was Karate chopped over the head. Machoke proceeded to remove the net in order to confiscate Saffron’s backpack.

“They’re coming, at least two of them.” Gan heard Kadabra’s voice in his mind. He instantly knew that this meant his buddies he sent to Prof. Oak’s lab.

“I knew you were up to no good, you guys can never do the right thing,” Pink spoke through her gritted teeth, she wasn’t surprised by Gan’s trickery but she was still angered by it.

“Nah, I just suddenly felt like I didn’t want to fight, it was a split-second decision.” Gan shrugged and said nonchalantly.

“Forget talking with him, let’s capture him with a joint attack.” Gray looked back at Yellow for a second before suggesting this to Pink.

“Perfect! I can’t agree anymore to this.” Pink’s gaze landed on Gan’s body, it almost seemed like she was contemplating what to really do to him when he was caught.

At that moment, two shadows flew out of the forest and arrived behind Gan in a flash. This caused the already summoned Gastly—a great deal of excitement.

These were clearly the two Gastly he sent on the heist mission. They both dove into Gan’s shadow and hid away.

Both Gray and Pink’s expressions turn ugly as they stared at Gan’s shadow. Did this man use nothing but Ghost Pokemon? Where did those Pokemon come from? Did he release them prior or was it secretly during their confrontation?

They had so many questions and speculations. This caused them to hesitate and pause in their actions to order their Pokemon to attack.

A sneak attack was possible while they were off guard, they had to be careful!

However, Gan didn’t pay any mind to them, he was excited about his two Gastly’s return. He quickly took out the controller to the drone and set it to auto-pilot to return to him through the same route that it came.

“You guys want to team up against me? You can fight him, he’s been ready to fight more ever since.” Gan grabbed another Pokeball and tossed it out. It revealed his Nidorino, who looked pumped and ready to fight.

Nidorino’s hostile gaze landed on Clefairy and Eevee—who were at the front.

“Prepare yourselves!” Gray said to Eevee and Clefairy.

“Hey, how was the harvest? Hand over what you’ve got for me.” While that was going, Gan wanted to store what they had stolen.

Both Gastly quickly appeared and began to pour out their harvest for Gan. He quickly stored the Pokeballs away with a wide smile, something he couldn’t stop himself from doing.

They both had 15 Pokeballs each!

Right then, Machoke turned to Gan and tossed him Saffron’s backpack. Gan caught it and began to inspect it a little before throwing it into his storage; he’ll figure all these things out later.

“Disarming voice!”

“Quick Attack!”

Gan turned around to discover that they had taken this time to attack his Nidorino. He made sure to recall both Gastly since he would have to leave soon. Both Gastly were dumping Pokeballs at him that automatically went into his body. Gan made sure that Pink and Gray couldn’t see anything.

Clefairy attacked from range while Eevee went in for a direct attack.

“Go! Charge Clefairy and use Poison Sting.” Gan waved his hand. Suddenly, Eevee was locked down and couldn’t move, it stopped right in its tracks.

This was a Psychic force, this was the work of Kadabra!

“Evo…” Eevee looked confused, it tried moving but to no avail. Gray’s eyes widen, he easily understood that this was due to some psychic ability.

“Fu**er!” This guy was clearly doing this to exclude his Eevee out to deal with Clefairy alone. Pikachu wanted to help, but it was preoccupied with the other Gastly, who was toying with it.

Nidorino sidestepped the pink musical notes charge over at it with ease. Even if these notes landed on Nidorino, they wouldn’t do much to it since it was resistant against fairy moves and had a higher level to begin with.

“Clefairy, get out of the way!” Pink hurriedly and said. She wanted to use Sing to put it to sleep, but that would only end up dealing more harm than good. That would end up putting everyone around asleep.

This wouldn’t also affect Gan since he could activate something in his helmet to block off these sounds. Clefairy moved away, but unfortunately, Nidorino followed closely.

Nidorino has a higher level and a plus-speed nature, so how could Clefairy hope to escape him? Nidorino arrived right in front of Clefairy at an astonishing speed before railing her with his horn.

“FAIRY!” Oh, how painful it was to get hit like this, but Clefairy didn’t go down with one hit despite it being super effective against it. For one, Clefairy had defensive nature, her potential was high, and Poison sting had low base power to it.

However, Clefairy’s little cheeks form a purple hue across them, she had been poisoned! Clefairy struggled to her feet, this Nidorino had complete domination over the battle.

“Ah! Clefairy, are you alright?!” Pink grew intensely worried, she couldn’t tell that Clefairy was poisoned because she couldn’t see her face.

Machoke was still holding Saffron hostage just in case they made a move on Gan. Gan knew they couldn’t do anything, but this was more so for them to hand over their goods.

“She can’t fight anymore, hand over what valuables you have or the orange boy here—get his arm dislocated.” Gan threatened.

“Damn it…” Pink clenched her fist so tight that one might think it would start to bleed. She had never felt so helpless in her life, she had to get stronger! She secretly vowed.

However, Eevee was soon released from its psychic bind.

“Go attack!” Gray was beyond furious at this point and attacked immediately.

“Go, Double kick it!” Gan ordered Nidorino and said. He also issued an order to Kadabra, who was still hiding.

Gan laughed to himself, he actually found this fun to mess with people like this. Even he couldn’t believe he was like this; this caused him some worry about himself. I’m not evil for feeling this way, right? Gan thought.

Suddenly, a gravitational force smashed down on Eevee, stopping it in its tracks again. Nidorino had a little sneer on its face, before sending two kicks right into Eevee’s face.

“EVOO!~” Eevee was sent flying before landing and rolling on the ground; kicking up a little dirty dust cloud.

“Eevee!” Gray ran over towards his Eevee when he was tackled by Nidorino and knocked away!

“Ah!” One of the spikes on Nidorino’s body struck Gray right in the arm. He fell to the ground bleeding from his arm while rolling on the floor.

“What are you doing?! Why are you letting your Pokemon attack people, you bastard!” Pink was so mad that she was shivering in fear and worry. She actually glared at Gan with utter hatred growing in her heart.

“Oh, my bad! Nidorino, don’t attack people, just beat up Eevee.” Gan was actually telling the truth here, he didn’t want his Pokemon to attack people unless it was neccasasy.

“But if you don’t pay up, then I have no choice. Last time I’ll say this, hand over your valuables!” Gan then sent a message to Kadabra to relay to Nidorino telepathically.

Nidorino put its front legs on Gray in a sort of threatening manner.

“We didn’t bring anything, the only thing valuable was the backpack you already stole from him!” Pink was almost in tears from this confrontation with this Team Rocket guy, he was too evil!

“Really?” Gan wondered and said.

Eevee looked at his trainer whose expression was filled with pain, and something changed and clicked in its little eyes.

It needed power!

“E…VoooO~!!” Eevee yelled out towards the sky, its eyes staring right at the moon.

Gan turned to look and saw that Eevee’s body was beginning to light up in bright white light. He immediately understood what was going on with Eevee.

It was evolving!

Gan watched with a stunned expression, there weren’t any stones involved with this evolution. It was obvious what this meant to Gan. He could also see that its level had increased by 1 stage, it was now at level 15.

Nidorino stepped away from Gray and position itself elsewhere.

Pink watched in amazement, while Gray slowly opened his eyes in shock at the turn of events.

And there it was, for all to see, its new form had been revealed.

Umbreon!

Gan frowned, this type was a threat to Kadabra, Haunter, and his Gastly. Even with it little level 15, it could take down a Kadabra or Haunter that didn’t sport any counter-attacks for it!

However, Gan had Machoke, who could easily put Umbreon in its place if it didn’t know any Psychic moves.

Gan scanned the newly evolved Umbreon.

…

|Name: Umbreon

|Type: Dark

|Level: 15

|Gender: Male

|Ability: Synchronize

|Potential: ★★★★★

|Nature: Bold

|Moves: Quick Attack| Sand Attack| Tackle| Helping Hand| Growl| [E]Detect| [E]Wish| Bite|

…

“We have company, she’s back! However, she has pursuers, we need to go!” Gan suddenly heard Kadabra’s voice, which sounded fearful.

There were several powerful auras following Haunter from a good distance. This caused Kadabra to start sweating, one of these auras was too fierce!

“Crap! Machoke, go, quickly check that guy on the ground—we have to leave!” Machoke quickly ran over to Gray, it disregarded Umbreon since it was still technically hurt from its bout with Nidorino.

And even so, it could easily sense that it was superior to Umbreon in strength.

“Damn it!” Gray was annoyed that he was being checked so roughly like this. But Gray’s expression turned ugly when Machoke discovered the TM-Dark Pulse on him and took it!

“No…give it back!” Machoke smirked and stood up before going over to hand it to Gan. Pink could do nothing but attend to her Clefairy, who she just found out was poisoned.

“Oh…a TM!” Gan quickly inspected it and smiled joyously once he realized what TM it was.

Right them, Haunter appeared out of the forest in a hurry. This meant it was time to get out of here, Haunter’s expression wasn’t looking so good at that.

Time to run!
