The forest was alive with the sounds of the night, the rustle of leaves and the chirping of crickets. The moon casts an eerie light through the branches, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. The air was thick with the scent of earth and dampness, and an owl could be heard in the distance. The forest was peaceful and quiet, or so it seemed as Giovanni asked, "Who are you?"
Thunderstrike's face began to ooze off, revealing a scared woman underneath. Her face was badly bruised, her eyes swollen shut, and her lips bleeding. She had a deep scar on her forehead
With a trembling voice, she exclaimed, "I am the wife of Dr. Fuji. I am here for my revenge."
Giovanni's face twisted with guilt as he looked at her as Giovanni threw out all his Pokeballs on the ground, leaving himself defenseless. "You have the right to revenge," he said before turning around to his Beedrill.
" What ? Aren't you going to attack ? I am even unarmed. You have me at quite a disadvantage... heh." Giovanni answered as he used his powers to elevate some of his starter's pain.
Giovanni turned towards Austin who was disguised as Dr Fuji's wife as he didn't want Giovanni to link him back to Yellow and the others if he failed tonight.
" So, come and attack me" Giovanni asked as he glanced back when Austin's shadow moved as Scizor shot towards Giovanni who chuckled.
" Scizor, quite a beautiful pokemon if I say so myself." Giovanni commented as gazed upon Scizor who was completely encased in ice.
" It took a second for your pokemon to attack me while it would have taken me 3 seconds to took out a PokeBall and release the pokemon. Impressive, most people would think that to be a great trainer you need powerful Pokemon but you also need speed, strength and skills of your own. Unfortunately I already had my Cloyster out." Giovanni exclaimed while touching Scizor's frozen face as he saw the steel type's eyes shift as he turned towards Austin with a grin.
" You are powerful."
Giovanni's eyes shift towards his pokeballs on the ground that were enveloped by psychic energy as his eyes shifted towards the trees.
" Oh my, using an Abra and a Clefable to hold down my pokemon. That isn't fair." Giovanni asked as he saw the shadow beneath Austin and himself part as a giant claw made it's way towards his neck before it phased through him.
" Oh my." Giovanni exclaimed before he saw the darkness of the forest part revealing two automatic machine guns courtesy of Jessie and James lighting up.
The forest was alive with the sound of gunfire as two machine guns blazed on either side of Giovanni. The leader stood tall and imposing, as the bullets ripped through the air towards him. But just as they were about to hit their mark, Giovanni's eyes began to glow a fierce amber, a sure sign that his powers were about to be unleashed.
Suddenly, with a powerful telekinetic pull, a PokeBall was snatched up from the ground in front of Giovanni. The PokeBall opened in a burst of light, revealing a massive Rhyperior, its rocky hide glistening in the gun fire. The beast roared as it positioned itself between Giovanni and the oncoming bullets, ready to protect its master at all costs.
The machine guns continued to fire, their deafening roar drowning out all other sounds in the forest. The bullets ricocheted off Rhyperior's tough hide, sending sparks flying in all directions.Giovanni watched in indifference as his trusted Pokemon took the brunt of the attack, its massive bulk absorbing the impact of the bullets without flinching.
For what felt like an eternity, the forest was filled with the sound of gunfire and the roar of the Rhyperior as it held firm, protecting Giovanni from harm. Finally, the machine guns fell silent, their magazines emptied, and the forest was once again filled with the peaceful sounds of nature.
Giovanni glanced at Austin with a smile.
" That was quite an impressive tactic. The only shame is that you aren't on my side. I could use someone like you, with your cunning and calculating attitude but I don't think you would join me so easily, Mrs Fuji. How about if I win this altercation, you join team rocket and fight by our side for the rest of your days ?" Giovanni's words permeated through the air as a roar occured through the air as Giovanni's Nidoqueen clashed her fists with Austin's Haunter.
" Does the silence mean your disagree or agree ?"
Austin stayed quiet as he saw Giovanni's eyes glow as all the PokeBall held by Abra and Clefable were suddenly snatched up in the air as Giovanni smiled before releasing a bipedal tortoise like pokemon with a spherical body covered by a shell of plated, grey rocks. Its head protuding from the center of the shell. The head had a flat snout with two pointed teeth in the lower jaw and red eyesm It had short arms that had three claws and two legs with feet that had four claws in front and one in back. The head and limbs were light brown in colour.
" Golem !"
Golem roared as his head and limbs retracted back into its body as it began to spin like a ball and shooting towards Austin's as Clefable appeared between Austin and Golem as her gravity manipulation to launch the rock type above her but the Rock type's quick spinning caused Clefable to lose control as the rock type came down on the fairy type who deflected the Rock type towards the trees and Golem used the trees as launch pads to launch himself back towards Clefable who used the ground beneath her to form a shield of ground causing Golem's roll out to stop on the shield but rollout is a move that doubles in power every turn as the explosive power behind the rollout blasted a part the ground shield and the air pressure launched Clefable back towards Austin's hands, knocked out.
Giovanni smirked before that smirked was wiped out when Rhyperior stepped infront of Giovanni as a massive amount of psychic energy into Golem launching the rock type through a dozen trees as he was knocked out.
Giovanni narrowed his eyes as he Musharna appear besides Austin as she had released the move " Stored Power " on Golem.

[ Omake Paragraph ]
It is a good thing that Yanma rarely live near humans, for their loud, high-pitched buzz makes them among the most troublesome of pokemon. Designed to disrupt the echolocation systems of the Zubat which Yanma prey upon in the wild, when a swarm passes a human settlement the buzz will breaks windows and shatter eardrums until driven away by an outraged, terrified, and often deaf crowd. A single Yanma is an annoying pest, or at times a beloved companion, but a swarm is a natural disaster. Apart from the military, which uses it to disrupt enemy radar, large concentrations of Yanma are unknown among humans, and strict regulations hamper effective breeding of and research into this fast and colorful pokemon. Indeed, even training a single Yanma is taboo where it is not outright illegal.
And this is an enormous shame, for properly trained Yanma can alter the frequency of their buzz. And when the pitch is controlled and made one suitable for large objects and human ears, a Yanma's beautiful song shines through. Many popular composers have used Yanma recordings in their symphonies for generations, although others refused on the grounds that it made it too easy to win fame.
It is said that there is a colony of Yanma deep in the Great Marsh who were exiled there ages ago after their trainer was executed for collecting such a dangerous pokemon. (Others have considered it a strange mutation, for how could a group of Yanma live so long?) Their mournful song is said to be the most beautiful tune in the world, but those who listen to it seldom manage or desire to return to tell the tale.
