Lowell jumps off Pidgeot as it lands. His hand immediately goes to Wartortle's Pokeball, and he releases Wartortle immediately. "Be prepared for anything..." he says to his Pokemon.

Saroya jumps from her pokemon. "Pideot return!" Saroya sets the pokeball back. "Now go Arcanine!" Saroya lets out the large Dog pokemon. DJ sighs. "Your really serious if he's out." DJ brings out his own pokemon, which happens to be a Houndoom. Christine brings out a Raichu. Saroya noddes at DJ. "He's here." Is all she says, motioning for you and the others to follow her.

Lowell follows a few meters behind, with Wartortle to his right.

Saroya stopps you. "DJ go that way, Christine that way." Saroya says pointing to diffrent directions. "Lowell stay with me." Saroya again starts walking this time with DJ and Christine gone. Arcannie's ears purk up and quickly saroya pushs you and her into a dark ally.

Lowell stays quiet, looking around. Wartortle stays in Lowell's shadow so he's not seen.

"Someone's coming." Is all Saroya says as footsteps come there way, along with the small click of a cain. "Saroya, come out where ever you are." When you get a good look you pale, it's the leader of team Rocket!

Lowell fidgets with surprise, but tries not to make a sound. He'd seen the leader of Team Rocket in newspapers before, and he knew the infamous reputation.

Saroya sucks in a deep breath. "Lowell, at my count both of us run." She flicks a small rock down the ally, the man turns his back. "Now!" Saroya tosses a small smoke bomb and runns around a corner you following.

Lowell sprints down the alley, jumping over any obstacles. Wartortle follow right behind him, and uses Water Gun to make the ground slippery, hoping the leader would slip if he tried to give chase.

"God Damnit Saroya!" The man slid from the ally. Jumping over the streak of water. "Man, for someone so old you run fast!" Saroya yelled back. When turning a corner you grab saroya this time and hide behind a trash can. The Arcannie behind another.

Lowell keeps still, breathing quickly. Wartortle is curled up behind another trashcan, ready to attack if need be.

The man runs past you, not even looking back. Saroya sighs when he's gone. "That was close, nice job Lowell."

"Uh-huh." Lowell gets up once the man is far away. "Seems odd, a leader doing the work he'd normally have his cronies do." Lowell relaxes a bit. "Guess he's just hands-on. Anyway, where to next?"

"Yeah abit too hands on..., we should go to the eastern part of town." Saroya whipes the dirt of her jacket. "Lets go!" She says smiling.

Lowell follows Saroya to the eastern part of town, making sure to be quiet with his steps.

"Can't belive they did this." Saroya wispers. "And for there leader to be here." Saroya looked back at Lowell. "Looks like I was right." She sighed. "They're looking for the Azure Flute"

Lowell raises his eyebrow, perplexed. "I haven't heard of the Azure Flute before." he says. "What is it?"

"A special iteam, that can wake the god of all pokemon, that makes Ho-Oh look weak, Arceus." Saroya shivers at the name. "If team Rocket got there hands on him..." She doesn't finish the anwser.

"That does sound...really bad." Lowell says quietly. "Where is the Azure Flute located, exactly?"

Saroya sighs. "Its in the ocean somewhere around here." Saroya grabbs your shouldar. "Not again!" She stands up. "Follow me!" Saroya grabs onto a latter leading to a roof and starts climbing."

Lowell returns Wartortle to his Pokeball so he doesn't have to climb. Lowell follows Saroya until they make it to the top of the ladder...

Saroya stands at the edge of the roof. You stand beside her and gulp. Team Magma, Aqua and Galatic are all fighting at town square. Causing alot of havoc. "Oh God...They know..."

'This stinks. They all had to come ruin Vermillion City." Lowell says, pacing irritatedly. "Every one of these evil teams. Like they have nothing better to do..."

Arcannie growls in agreement. "We can't do anything right now, we have to get that flute!" Saroya sighs. "We have to go through that."

"Great." Lowell says. He stops pacing for a moment. "How exactly are we going to get there? Walk, fly?"

"Run." Is all Saroya says. "We have to. We can't fly, or Pidgeot would be shot, including us." Saroya grabbs your shouldar and jumps from the roof landing on your feet not hurt. "We have to run strait through that at a full sprint, no slowing down got it?" Saroya looks back at you to make sure you get the point, you nod. "I'll destract them while you go through."

"Go!" You begin your run forward when you hear Saroya's voice. "Hey idoits! Guess who's here? Your best friend Saroya! Now lets party!"

Lowell takes a path behind a building, hoping they won't be able to see him. He dodges behind some trash cans, then finally makes it to the beach. He runs straight down, towards the water.

You continue your run. Hearing Loud yells behind you. You can tell there after Saroya. You jump over a small ledge. Then you regret it. A few feet ahead of you stands the team rocket leader who grinns at you. "What do we have here? A stray trainer, or a friend of Saroya?"

Lowell stops and examines the situation quickly. "I'm trying to find one of my friends. I came to see if they were down here, but I guess not." He shrugs and walks backwards.

The man grins. "Oh really?" He walks forward while you walk backwards. "Your lieing. Tell me the truth, and I might not hurt you...much." He grins like a cat cornering a mouse.

"Fine. I'm just trying to find a way out of here. I have a Wartortle, so I figured he could get us out by water." Lowell says quietly.

"Hmm, again you lie. I saw you with Saroya." he shakes his head. "Cut the lies. You know why everyone is here right?"

"Saroya has a theory, but we're not 100% on if it is correct or not." Lowell says, trying to back up slowly.

"Sounds just like her." He smiles. "That girl has been a thorn in my side for years. Hard to believe a child only 8 could run circles around some of my men, but I'm not surprised. I should have sent my stronger members at her in the begginning. All well." He looks up at you his brown eyes. "What is the theroy?" he smaks his cain against the ground.

"You know what you came here for, so does it matter what Saroya's theory is?" Lowell says, slightly confused. He takes another small step back.

He smiles. "Want to see if she's right of course." He stepps forward again. You breath is caught in your through for some reasson. "Your name is Lowell right?"

"Right." Lowell says.

"Though so." The man stops walking. "I would like to know Saroya's theory now. It would be nice to hear."

"Is there a reason that I should tell it to you?" Lowell asks, with a slight tinge of agitation in his voice.

"Because I'm much stronger then you, I'm not the leader of team rocket for the money aspect." He counters back with a darker tone. "Then again, why ask you that now... What to do with you, if Saroya's right you know why I'm here, and those OTHER teams, who are much weaker then mine." He walks forward. "I could keep you in one of our prison cells, or erase your memorie into another mindless grunt devoted to Team Rocket...." He grinns.

"Yeah, but I don't make a good grunt, even without memory." Lowell says. His back is now to the cliff. Thinking quickly, Lowell grabs a rock from the cliff's edge and throws it at the Rocket leader, at the same time kicking sand in his face. Lowell runs off in the opposite direction.

The man grabs his face. "You brat!" He pulls out a small phone. "Hey we got a brat running down main street get him! No i don't care about Saroya right now, even if she gave some of our members thrid degree burns!"

Lowell crosses back into the city and dodges into a building. He climbs the stairs until he gets to the roof, then peeks slightly over the side.

"Lowell!" You turn around and see Saroya standing on the other edge grinning. "Saw what you did! That was genius!" She jumps down. "We better get moving he sent gaurds after us.

"Right. Where to? Back towards Cerulean or back to the ocean?" Lowell asks. He glances at his watch. "It's pushing four o'clock, too."

"The ocean. I saw a couple of ships out there carrying all the people here, we need to save them, LOOK OUT!" Saroya pushs you down as a loud gun shot is heard. "We hurry, they found us, and I'm guessing most of them are pretty pist at me for lighting them on fire...or you hitting there boss. Take your pick"

"OK. How should we get to the ocean from here?" Lowell asks, trying to estimate the distance to the water. "It'd be at least 50 meters, if not more."

"Good but we have to jump." Before you can ask what she ment she jumps from the building you behind. You land on her pidgeot, who takes to the sky quickly. While you grip for dear life, Saroya stands up on her pokemon.

Lowell watches the city behind them as Pidgeot flies towards the ocean. A few Rockets can be seen in the streets, but they're pretty far away.

"Hmm, looks like we're getting away...never mind." You see a large Farrow fly up from the city and charge you at full speed. "Giovanni just won't quit will he?" Saroya says in a sad tone. Refering to the Rocket Leader flying right at the both of you. "Hey Giovanni! Long time no see!" Saroya taunts as he comes closer.
