Ask to Join Escape from Team Rocket

Luna chuckled when Fury took the meat from her and took a seat by a tree. "Oh that's right. I'm Luna" she said with a small smile. "Nice to meet you all" she said politely as she scanned the Pokémon that escaped with her.
 
"I like ice cream better." Mint chattered in a happy tone. He shifted around in the leaves, more comfortable with staying up in the branches than descending to the ground. "And you guys can call me Mint!"

The fiery canine shook his head, remembering things he did not like. "I'm Fury. At least, that's what I was called." He didn't care to specify who called him that, all these pokemon needed was a title he went by.

Fury recalled something his trainer had written to him once. "Luna? Why were you at the lair? Someone told me that Eevee weren't very strong 'competitively', whatever that means."
 
Luna growled lowly then held up a paw. "But I'm different as you can see. My fur is black and I'm the last one of my kind, thanks to humans" she said angrily then layed down in a patch of grass to be comfortable. "Besides everyone is different but I hate being treated special so I guess you guys made me feel normal" she smiled softly then layed her head down in the grass, by her paws.
 
"Well... I can't say that I am a friend of those humans neither, at least now. My name is Rage, by the way. At first, I almost felt happy when those humans brought me there. They were always saying things like "This one has a great potential. I am pretty sure that this one is very strong". And I wanted to become stronger too. But time passed... I don't know... Days? Weeks? Months? I didn't see the daylight, I didn't even know when it was day or night. But they started to care less about me, they were asking me always to do things, disturbing my dreams... then, they stopped bringing me food and that stuff... And... Well, I got fed up. I took the opportunity that they left me alone, and then let's say that Mint appeared there, answering to my help requests. I am happy to meet of all you, I am sure that we wouldn't have achieved that without our mutual help."
 
Mint was frowning, looking unusually serious. "I didn't realize what would happen when I got out of that place. Should've known..." He muttered to himself, not wanting to worry the others with what could happen.

Fury listened to Rage tell his story. "Maybe it was because you didn't evolve. A lot of trainers want their pokemon to evolve, because they say it makes them stronger." He suggested to the Larvitar. His thoughts drifted away from his memories and toward everyone's importance. Tyranitar were undoubtedly powerful. If Luxio evolved, he could see through walls, which would help with raids. And Luna was obviously rare.
 
"Well... Maybe they should have treated me better too. I want to be stronger and evolve too. But I don't think that having me doing forced work and fighting (well... fainting) against other stronger and bigger Pokemon than me is the proper way. The only thing that they have achieved is my hate to them." Continued talking Rage.
Then, he started to walk again, still limping. Obviously, his leg was going to hurt for some more time. He took some ice cream and kept on talking. "Anyways... What are you gonna do when this thing with the humans is finished?"
 
"Find somebody important." Fury responded vaguely. If these pokemon knew he had a trainer, they would probably turn on him. The fire type couldn't risk that.

Mint ignored what was happening below him. He whistled to the Cherrim he had fed and they returned from the clump of leaves they lived in. He frantically talked to them in a low tone, asking for help. They discussed among themselves and finally agreed to his request since he had shared his food with them. One slid down the trunk of the tree and walked up to Mint's friends, and the rest left on a mission. Mint waited for the group of grass types to leave, then jumped down after the Cherrim who had volunteered to help them.
 
Luna growled slightly when she saw rustling in the bushes then she saw the Cherrim. "What do you want?" She asked in a threatening voice, getting in a battle stance. "Mint what were you talking about with the Cherrim?" She asked Mint as she looked at him with an angry face.
 
"This one knows heal pulse." The monkey responded dully. His tail lagged on the ground, and he pushed Cherrim toward Rage. "No harm from it, right?" The attempt for false cheer failed miserably. His tone sounded quiet and drained of energy.
 
The Pansage sighed. "If the Larvitar wishes it, his leg can be healed." Mint grew more dejected by the minute. Now the leaves on his head were drooping also, and he stood with a slouch.
 
Luna sighed then sat down. "Mint, your tired just go to sleep" she said lazily and growled lowly at the Cherrim. "But seriously what do you need this Cherrim for?" She asked with uncertainty and nervousness.
 
"I am not tired." He insisted grumpily. "What do you say, Rage?"

Fury was listening to the stubborn pokemon argue when he picked up the sound of slow footsteps. Looking back at the others, he chose not to concern them with the news.
 
"Do you have to ask me? Of course, I want!" Said Rage, almost whispering. he slowly approached to the Cherrim while he continued talking, with a hesitant tone. "If this goes good, then next time I see those humans you'll see what I am able to do too".
 
Cherrim wasted no time and used Heal Pulse on Rage, more than once to make sure it worked. It stood still and waited for a response of praise, either from Mint or the one it healed.

"Excellent job, friend! You have healed an ally of mine. You may go now!" The grass type cheered weakly. He was slightly livelier than when arguing with Luna. Still Cherrim did not hesitate, leaving the way it had come.

Fury couldn't hear the footsteps anymore. However, he could have sworn a growl echoed in his head.
 
"I'll be back. I need to clear my head for a while" she said then walked off to the sound of water flowing. When she arrived at a lake she sipped up some water then climbed in. "This is going to be harsh" she muttered as she swam in the cool lake.
 
Once Luna had left, Mint sat down unexpectedly and started freaking out. "Guys, guys. Something bad will happen, I heard Cerbus and he'll get us if we aren't careful!" Fury was unsure what had happened to the Pansage. He had seemed extremely relaxed at first, and then this was happening.
 
Luna looked around and sensed something so she jumped out of the water and shook the water off her fur. She ran back to were the others were to see everyone. "Mint, Rage, Fury, Kai, Lance is that all?" She muttered to herself as she counted all the escaped Pokémon. "Mint what are you talking about?" She asked when she heard Mint talking about Cerbus.
 
"You came back fast. Cerbus must be on the move." Mint jumped to conclusions. "He'll have eyes everywhere. The Deino Lance ran into earlier? He could be spying on us right now..." He gasped.

"Stop and calm down, Mint, or you'll explode like a seed bomb!" The Arcanine barked harshly. This made Mint settle down, and the grass type started sulking.
 
Rage started to walk again. He couldn't believe it. His leg didn't hurt anymore. He started to run again. "Oh my... I can't believe it! Well... Rage's here again!" Said, in a very confident way. Then, he returned to the group. "Ok... Let's see... So you are telling us that som Pokemon may be spying us? I don't know what to think, but... We were supposed to escape from them, weren't we?" I mean... They lost our trail, am I wrong?"
 
"Not those ones! Unless they've formed an alliance with them, we have something extremely difficult to face!" Mint took a deep breath to steady himself. "This Houndoom is not one to mess with. And now that I think about it, he almost certainly allied with the 'hostiles', for lack of a better term."

Fury growled. He recalled seeing Houndoom when he was caged, but had not thought much about it until now.
 
Luna growled slightly then looked at Mint. "Mint, I saw two Houndooms when we were there but only one tried to follow us" she said seriously. "Fury teleported is fast enough, the Houndoom sent a Shadow Ball towards us before Fury teleported us away" she explained angrily.
 
"Oh man...oh man, oh man! They could've traced the teleport spell! I DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE YOU! LEAVE ME BE!" Mint shrieked at the air. In a desperate attempt to defend himself from nothing, he curled into a ball and sobbed loudly on the ground. Fury wasn't sure what to do in this scenario, so he looked at the other pokemon for guidance.
 
Luna looked at Mint with concern then she rushed over to him. "Mint! It's ok, we won't let you be like them. None of us will" she said, trying to comfort him. "We won't let that happen" she said comfortingly and pet his head in an attempt to comfort him. 'Moons, why did I never learn how to comfort people or Pokémon?!' She thought.
 
Kai, who had been observing and listening silently, with a pensive face, finally spoke up from his spot among the leaves. "We were never gonna be able to just stay safe here anyway," he said, scowling slightly and flicking his tufted tail. "They've invested time and energy on us, so they're gonna keep coming after us. They can't fight us all that easily, though, right?"
 
Luna looked at Kai with an angry face. "Kai, maybe you should try to cheer him up instead of saying the worst that could happen" she said angrily, biting her tongue to say not say any more. "But they can't catch us since we have good fighting moves and Fury that can teleport" she explained happily, in an attempt to, once again, cheer Mint up.
 
Mint shuddered underneath Luna's paw. With a great deal of effort, he rose back up onto his feet. "Luna, Kai's right about one thing. We have to leave, find somewhere with better defences. Even my Seed Bomb couldn't do much to these guys."

Fury barked assent with Mint's idea. "Even strong fighting moves or Teleport won't keep them away for long. They've got a whole organization behind them, remember? We need a place where we have the advantage." It's like we're being hunted. He guessed. The vision of horned dogs tracking every one of the group down was unpleasant.
 
"We're all different types," Kai pointed out, biting his tongue again. It wasn't the time for him to be difficult. "I don't mean to bring all this up, but one of our advantages is gonna be another one's disadvantage. I'm just saying, it'd take a pretty complex plan to out-power them."
 
"Kai is right" Rage added. "They may be more, but we practically cover the debilities of the rest of us." Rage stood silent for a moment. "As long as we keep us close with each other, we should be fine. And yeah, I bet that we should look for a shelter or another place where we were safe."
 
Luna sighed then sat up straight. "I agree we should find a place but we should stay positive" she said then got an idea. "How about we stay in an underground cave? It will mask our sent's and there is also water there" she said, her eyes wondering around the little group.
 
"Underground cave sounds fine, but I'd prefer a town. Food, water, and people who fight Rockets. All the people and other pokemon wandering around will make it hard to track us." Not to mention my trainer might be there. Fury added mentally.
 
Luna nodded her head slowly. "I-I get that but humans and I don't get along" she said sadly. "Plus, since I have dark fur and I'm an Eevee people are going to come then they'll know were we are" she added with a hint of worry in her voice. 'I hate humans but if it's for they're safety then maybe it will work out' she thought, looking at the ground.
 
"Well... Both of you got a point. I would prefer an underground cave too. I don't get on well with humans... Especially after what we've gone through. I'd prefer to stay out of their sight, at least for the moment. But don't mind me. I'll do what the majority say". Rage said as he slowly sat again, looking to the rest of the group.
 
Luna looked at Rage with surprise. "No, Rage we all have to agree" she said with a hint of worry. "But I have something to confess" she said then looked back at the ground. "W-when I was there, t-they did some tests on me and now I don't want to be in another humans sight again" she confessed, her eyes shining with tears but no tears fell.
 
"You aren't the only one to have that happen. It's how I learned Teleport. How we escaped." Fury reminded Luna quietly. Mint sat next to Rage, tuning out the conversation to try hearing any possible spies rustling nearby.
 
Luna sighed then looked up at Fury with a lazy smile. "Thank you" she muttered then looked at Mint and Rage, her tears gone. "Since Mint already knows the organization then why not have Mint decide we're we go?" She asked in a serious tone. 'Hopefully everyone agrees with me' she thought.
 
Kai nodded as he watched the exchange with interest. He felt the strange Eevee's pain deeply. Though he hated the idea of being around humans, they needed the best possible plan if they hoped to escape in the long run. He turned his gaze to Mint. "Yeah, I trust him," he agreed. "What do you say, little guy?"
 
"Hm..." The Pansage thought over it for a few minutes. "City scent patterns are always changing, aren't they? Well, dogs rely on scent, so we should go to a city so that they get lost more!" Anticipating a fearful or angry reply from Kai or Luna, he held up his hand. "You three don't have to go out with a bunch of humans around. I'm good at scouting, I can sneak you both in without seeing a human once."
 
Luna looked at Mint with surprise then she smiled. "Ya, I guess the scents would get mixed up but if the Pokémon or dogs got the test I did they would be able to pick out different scents. Then again, they would have to know the cents very very well to pick them out. Oh and thank you Mint, hat was very thoughtful" she said then looked at Kai to see what he would say.
