Caleb generally felt pretty bad. Sure he'd had fights like this in the
past, but he had always been looking for them. The last time he and Carver
fought, they nearly killed each other and this time Carver got away only
slightly bruised. That annoyed Caleb more than anything else.
" I'm gonna get him for what he's done,"
" Right, ok. Come on, this way," Vincent liked Caleb more recently.
" There it is, you go on, I'll catch up..."
Vincent seemed out of breath.
" You sure you're ok?" Caleb pulled his Raichu close and knelt down beside
Vincent.
" Yeah, I'll meet you soon,"
Caleb had been betrayed recently and wasn't about to believe this, but he
trusted Vincent. Caleb ran down to the Pokecenter in Viridian city.
He was overwhelmed by the sheer size of it, it was easily the biggest, and
the busiest Pokecentre he'd seen... ever. He ran up the counter and looked
for a nurse, or a Chansey or anything.
" Er, help! Please! NOW!"
Raichu was dying in his hands. He didn't want this to happen.
" DAMNIT! SOMEONE HELP ME! Please!?" A young doctor approached Caleb.
" What's wrong sir?"
" My Raichu's been shot. Please, take him and help him!"
" Oh my- We'll do our best," The man looked determined and took Raichu
away. Caleb went and sat down on a small curved sofa. Next to him a young
boy sat with his eyes closed, and had an Abra on his lap, another girl with
short black hair sat next to him.
The boy had short spikey blonde hair and wore a red t-shirt. The girl was
slightly younger than Caleb and very pretty. Caleb began to blush.
" Are you ok, mister?"
The boy looked up at him, but his eyes were still closed. The Abra was
also looked at him.
" Huh?"
" Oh, sorry, I'm Stan. This is my Abra, Abby,"
" That's original," His eyes still didn't open. Caleb couldn't help but
frown. A nurse came up behind the girl and whispered in her ear.
" Stan, your Pokemon are ok now,"
" YAY!, Bye sir!" Abby got up before the boy and walked around, a foot or
so in front of Stan, who followed, eyes still closed and moved perfectly
around every obstacle. Caleb looked back but the girl had gone. Maybe she
was Stan's sister or something. Whilst he was ooking for the girl he failed
to notice Sarah, the girl who hired him sneaking up behind him.
" Boo," She said, he felt her push a gun barrel to his neck. He tried to
remain calm but the andrenaline was pumping and so was his heart, very
fast.
" Where's Vincent?"
" He's fine. You're not though,"
" You don't say. Where's the case?"
" You'll need to know why everyone wants the case first,"
" But I'm not going to find out am I?"
" No," Caleb moved quicker than she did and he grabbed her arm and flipped
her over his head. There was a thump as she hit the ground and people began
to peer over and see what they were doing.
" Where's the case Sarah?"
" Harold took it!" She screamed.
" And where's he then?"
" I don't know, he betrayed me to! I think he's going to sell it!"
" Oh Aye? Well why was Team Rocket on the train,"
" It was their case, I work for an Anti-TR group!" Caleb had noticed the
security guards sneaking up behind him and wasn't in a mood to kill any
inocents.
" Don't worry I'm a bounty hunter," Caleb pulled out his badge.
Sarah took her chance and lept up. She grabbed her gun and shot Caleb
through the stomach then ran for a window but the guards shot her down on
the way. The girl Caleb had been looking for coverred Abby's eyes.
Caleb groaned as he fell to his knees.
" Should've remembered her gun..." He began to fall unconscious and wasn't
expecting to wake up...
