Trouble on Route 3.

You step out into the cool morning air alongside your friends, thoughts of your girlfriend lingering in your mind. You stare out into the industrial metropolis that you’re about to leave, its cityscape barely lit by the dawn light. As you take a deep breath, preparing yourself to truly leave the city that houses your first girlfriend, a firm hand claps onto your shoulder.

“Keep it steady, Casanova. You’ll be back someday.” Daniel says, smirking at you with his bright smile.

“And we’ll be with you, so no feeling lonely!” Kayla squeezes your hand, her pale green eyes looking up at you affectionately.

You only met these two a few days ago, but it feels like you’ve known them for your entire life. They really are good friends. “Thanks, guys. I’ll be fine. So, are we heading out right away, or do either of you have any last minute business to attend to?”

“I gotta pick up some ingredients before we go. Cooks gotta cook!” Your blonde friend replies, letting go of your shoulder to clap his hands together.

“Oh, right. Should we be splitting the cost on thos-“ You attempt to ask, but Daniel cuts you off.

“Nah, not a huge deal. I got it… Seriously!” He adds the last bit after an uncertain look from you. You don’t feel good about this, but it’s not like you have much money anyway, even after beating Brooke… you’ll just have to find a way to pay him back, like with Blue.

The three of you do a quick shopping run, with Daniel being the only one actually buying things. Is Kayla still broke? She might be. He mostly buys ingredients, like he said, but he also stops in at a general store for a few things. Once that’s over, the sky is a bit lighter and people are waking up to start their days. The streets have a small throng of people moving about their lives as your trio finishes up your shopping trip and head toward the east road out of town.

Right as you’re about to exit Pewter City and enter Route 3 however, you catch sight of something that sends a chill down your spine. Walking up the road, heading into the city, are two figures; Nate and Diane. The man is dressed in his usual all black ensemble with a silver tombstone necklace, while his girlfriend is wearing a dark green tube-top and matching colored miniskirt, that are barely covering her prominent assets. The pair spot you as well, and quicken their pace to come meet you.

“Hello there.” The tall man says as he and his lover approach.

“Overlord Nate.” You greet him by his title, making sure that your friends know exactly who this is. They both stiffen slightly, having surely heard rumors about him in Pewter.

“Hiii cuties~.” The curvy woman purrs at the three of you, and you’re a little amused to see the Vermillion trainers… favorable reactions to the seductive woman’s charms. “You all heading out of town?”

You nod, replying somewhat stiffly. “We’ve got our Boulder Badges, so we’re heading into Mt. Moon to go to Cerulean.”

The black-haired man chuckles. “Oh, we know you got your badges. We saw.”

“That was quite the show you three lovelies put on with Brooke. Most impressive.” Diane’s eyelids droop as she smiles sultrily, and you hear your friends both gulp. Yeah, she has that effect on people.

“So… what are you two doing?” You ask, trying your best to seem casual.

Nate grins at you. “Relax, kid. We’re just heading into town for some shopping today. Nothing else.”

“I don’t think that’s all that he’s tense about, honey.” The man’s lover locks eyes with you, licking her lips. Oh, you gulped this time. She’s such a damn tease.

“Hm? …Ah. Blue.” Is all the man from Lavender says, a neutral expression falling over his face as he stares at you.

Daniel and Kayla have been keeping quiet, and they continue to do so, letting you take the lead since you’ve met the pair of older trainers before. They do however eye you curiously at the mention of your rival. Right, you haven’t told them about the video you saw this morning.

Meeting the electric-blue eyes of Nate, you speak. “Yeah… I’m not sure what to say. You had every right to do what you did, and you weren’t… cruel. You even stood up for her at the end. So… we’re cool, I guess is what I’ll say.”

A small tension leaves the older man’s shoulders. “Okay then. Good. Don’t like to leave any hard feelings behind, so thanks. For what it’s worth… she was incredible, in many ways. I was impressed.”

“So was I, honestly.” You admit. “I think that may have actually helped boost her confidence, rather than lower it.”

“She’s a strong girl.” For perhaps the first time you can think of - other than when she told off those twins - the chocolate-haired beauty’s voice doesn’t sound flirtatious. “I truly look forward to seeing where she goes from here. You three as well. Hmhmhm~. A lovely crop of rookies this year.”

The three of you all mumble thanks as Diane returns to her normal self during that last bit, and Nate says “Speaking of where you go from here, you should get moving if you want to make any progress through the mountain today. Our whole gang won’t be out and about, though some of the individuals in it might be hanging around. Good luck to you.”

“And to you… with your shopping, I guess. See you around” You respond, and with that the couple make to leave. The entirety of your trio stare at the thick woman’s ass as she leaves, its curve poking out of the bottom of her skirt. Diane is damn sexy, and she dresses to show it.

As the two fade out of view, your friends turn to you. “So, what happened with your girlfriend from Pallet?” Daniel asks, raising an eyebrow.

Sighing, you explain that one - Blue isn’t your girlfriend, just your rival - and two - that she fell victim to the ‘Overlord’ and his fellows on this Route yesterday. You tell them about the video in limited detail, focusing on its more positive aspects.

The two nod in understanding. “Sounds like a tough chick.” The blonde boy remarks.

“Yeah. I’m almost jealous. Not sure I would have been so strong…” Kayla says, frowning slightly.

“Don’t be like that, you’re plenty strong. You’ve grown stronger just in the few days I’ve known you. Seriously!” You lay a hand on the brunette’s shoulder, smiling warmly.

“Damn straight. You wouldn’t believe how much less shy she is now than when we started! Chin up, Kay.” The girl’s master ruffles her hair.

“Thanks, guys. Now c’mon, let’s get moving!” A happy flush graces the petite girl’s face, and she looks down at her feet in embarrassment from the praise she just received.

A potential crisis with the Overlord averted, the three of you start making your way down Route 3 together. For a few hours things are quiet. You chat and laugh together, continuing to get to know one another. The only notable thing is bumping into a single male trainer, who you recognize as one of the ones that got a blowjob from Blue. He challenges Kayla, and she beats him fairly easily, collecting some prize money. Afterward, you and Daniel each make him pay up as well; he’s done it to the guys Nate has beaten in the past, so fair’s fair. He has two badges, and your winnings come out to 240 PD. Bringing your current balance to 1,800. Still not all that much, but you aren’t flat broke at least.

The man takes it in stride, waving a friendly goodbye as he heads to Pewter City to heal up. Your trio continues onward down the well-trodden dirt road, and it’s at around the fifth hour of your day’s journey that something strange happens. Shouting can be heard in the distance; you can’t make out the words, but it sounds like a woman screaming!

You instantly break into a sprint, and your friends are only half a step behind you. Rushing toward the sound, you all realize it’s coming from off the beaten path, deeper in the route. Without hesitation, you leave the main trail and sprint your way towards the woman’s voice, which you’re able to make out now that you’re closer.

“-FF OF ME! BASTARD! HELP! ****!” She screams, and the word ‘****’ fills you with a further surge of adrenaline. Whoever she is, she needs help badly! You start running even faster, outpacing the longer-legged Daniel even. Her voice cuts off suddenly, ending in **** gasp, and you’re worried you may not be able to find her now that you can’t hear her… until the man speaks.

“Shut up, bitch! Gah, couldn’t make this easy could ya? Now I gotta- Who the fuck!?” The man interrupts himself as you and burst onto the scene, breaking into a clearing. Daniel and Kayla fell a little behind at some point, but they’re catching up quickly.

Glancing about the clearing, the first thing you notice is the woman. It’s Kelly, the clean-up girl from Nate’s gang. She’s pinned to the ground beneath a man you’ve never seen, her skirt flipped up and panties pulled aside with his cock shoved inside of her. She’s being choked to stop her screams, and tears are streaming down her panicked face.

The second thing you notice is the ****. He’s in his mid-twenties, and he’s dressed in a fully uniform outfit of all black clothes, with a large red R on the front of his shirt. He’s a member of Team Rocket.

Team Rocket is a large criminal syndicate that operates all over both Kanto and Johto. They steal and poach Pokémon from trainers and conservation areas, selling them on the black market. They are also responsible for the invention, manufacturing, and selling of many illegal substances, specializing in powerful aphrodisiacs. Their most notorious crime however, is the **** and ‘breaking’ of people, turning them into sex slaves to be sold to the highest bidder. They are very well known, but often escape persecution due to the fact that those ‘highest bidders’ are mostly influential people within the government, who protect them out of their own selfish interests.

Anytime you’ve ever heard about them on the news, it has made your blood boil. No matter how good life is, there are still people who only look out for themselves and make other’s lives worse. Like right here; a member of this infamous group is trying to **** a woman. If he wanted to get some he could just beat someone in a battle, or attend one of the essentially live orgies that happen after a gym battle, or pay one of the many prostitutes in town; but no. He’s chosen ****.

“Get off of her!” You shout at the bastard, face screwed up with fury, and fists clenched.

“Tch. Shit…” The man then tightens his grip on Kelly’s throat, hard. “If you don’t want her to bite it, then scram. Got no time for punks like you.”

You blanch in shock; is he really willing to kill her!? Over this!?

As you stand there, unsure of what to do, the ground starts to rumble. “Huh? Wha-“ The Rocket’s confusion is cut off as two Pokémon burst from the ground. An Ekans bites down on the man’s wrist, loosening his grip on the woman’s throat, and a Sanshrew leaps up out of the dirt and kicks him in the face.

“No need to play nice with these assholes!” Your buff blonde friend shouts, having made it into the clearing with you.

“Get him, Red!” The female Vermillion trainer urges, standing at her lover’s side.

You don’t need to be told twice; charging forward, you bull rush the ****, slamming into him and knocking him off of - and out of - Kelly.

“FUCK! OW!” He shrieks as the three-pronged **** takes him by surprise and sends him tumbling to the ground. He shakes off Daniel’s Ekans, then scrambles to his feet. “Little shits… dammit, if my Pokémon weren’t fainted…”

You feel blood pounding in your ears. “Fainted? So… you lost to Kelly. And then you decided to **** her, since you were too pathetic to win.” These aren’t questions, you’re certain that’s what this bastard did.

“Grrr…” The Rocket looks around, taking in his situation… then turns and starts sprinting away, his softening erection flopping pitifully as he runs.

“COWARD!” Comes the golden-blonde’s shout. “Red, Kay, stay with her. I’m going after him!” Without waiting for confirmation from either of you, the muscular boy takes off after the black-clad criminal at a furious pace.

Kayla rushes over the woman, who is rubbing her neck and coughing. You’re torn on whether or not to follow Daniel’s instructions, or follow Daniel himself…

“Go, Red! I’ve got her. I’ll have Sandshrew patrol and keep us safe, so go help Daniel!” Kayla says in the sharpest tone you’ve ever heard from her. You nod, then take off running in the direction the two had just gone in.

The chase and subsequent search yields no results. You and your friend lose track of the man in the tall trees and rocky crags of deep Route 3, and are unable to find him again even with your Pokémon searching as well. Having wasted a couple of hours that mean you’re probably staying in the Route 4 Pokécenter tonight, you both return to the clearing.

The ladies are still there, Kelly looking much better as she chats quietly with Kayla, who has all four of her Pokémon on lookout. Even Magikarp. There’s a third person in the clearing as well; a man in his mid thirties that you recognize to be the one who fucked Blue during her gangbang. He’s keeping watch as well, and notices you and Daniel returning first, pointing it out to the two women.

“We fucking lost him!” The blonde boy spits, still fuming.

“Sorry. Everything okay here?” You say more calmly, though inside you’re just as angry as your friend.

Kayla nods. “No sign of anyone other than Henry here.” The older man nods a greeting to you as she says his name. “And Kelly isn’t seriously hurt, just some bruises thankfully.”

“Thanks to you guys.” The woman pipes up, voice slightly hoarse. “If you hadn’t shown up…” She shudders, not wanting to finish her sentence.

“We did though. Don’t think about what could have happened, focus on what did.” Daniel says, speaking more gently now.

Kelly smiles at him. “Yeah… Dipshit thought he could beat me with just a Koffing. Didn’t take kindly to losing... Thank you guys, seriously. You too, Henry.”

“All I did was show up and help keep watch. They’re the ones who got here first.” He must have heard her screaming too, and just been a little farther away.

“Don’t be like that! I felt a lot safer with you here!” Your brunette friend assures him.

“So, now what? Should we head back into town and tell the police?” You ask the group.

Kelly shakes her head. “We called them from here. They said they’ll send out a search team ‘soon’.”

You grimace. So, the cops here could be crooked, or at least someone who controls them could be. Great. “Want us to at least walk you back?”

Henry speaks up. “We both have rooms in the Route 4 Center, actually. Kayla said you guys were headed that way, so can we stick together until we get there?”

“Of course. We’ll probably stay the night too. It’s gonna be late by the time we get there, and I’m already beat.” Daniel says. You and Kayla both agree, so the five of you make your way back onto the main road and start heading toward the Pokécenter located just outside of Mt. Moon, talking quietly as you go.

As you walk and talk with the other four trainers, you can’t help but keep thinking about Team Rocket. Why does such a vile organization have to be allowed to exist? What are their goals? Just money and power, or something more? What kind of people actually join a crime syndicate like that? Will you run into them again? And… is there any way to stop them?

Word from the author: Next chapter will be the 100th chapter in this story (not counting the initial two set-up ones by MooMoo or my Character Profiles) and I have something… special planned. At least a little special. Hope you enjoy it ;)
