The alarms sounded like horns of a juggernaut. Blaring. Unceasing. Crippling my thoughts and assaulting my ears. On the other hand, the red flashing lights only served as a distraction, taunting my sweat as it falls off my pale complexion. My lungs start to heat up, for I rushed higher than my limits in order to rescue Cliff and his Pokemons.
"Tyranitar! Return to your Pokeball." Cliff wipes off the droplet of sweat is his forehead and orders his fainted Pokemon to return. His worried and anxious looks gave Bruno a boost of confidence as he smirks with an extreme amount of exuberance.
"This battle was quite fun, but I have to say, you used your Pokemon Skills on the wrong ambition. You could've become a gym leader, or better, an elite." Bruno utters, slowly walking forward to the combat pillar leader.
"Becoming a gym leader and an elite is a fainted dream. I won't allow you to reach Giovanni, Mewtwo is for the good of the world!" Cliff counters.
"Giovanni has crippled your true personality. There is still a chance to revive your fainted dream, take my hand, and stray from this path." Bruno urges with conviction, extending his left arm to Cliff.
"I am loyal to the boss, hence I care not for my past ambitions!" Cliff yells, dashing to the fighting type elite. In response, Bruno beams to the pillar, sparing no mercy. They collide with one another, throwing punches and kicks on their bodies.
It is brutal indeed. With the use of their brute strength, they fought amidst the flickering lights. It is as if the two of them are in a wrestling match, with the lights serving as cameras. In one blow, Cliff brutality punches Bruno's stomach, causing a droplet of blood to ooze out. However, with rage, the fighting pillar lifts Cliff to the sky, then tosses him to the other edge of the sector.
"I do not want to fight, but you left me with no choice!" Bruno shouts, dragging Cliff's head and smashing it unto the wall. In response, Cliff quickly kicks Bruno's leg, causing the fighting elite to stumble to the floor.
With lungs gasping for oxygen and a face filled with blood and filth, Cliff stands from the ground, and pursues to battle. Both sides are filled with fainted Pokemons, this leaves them with no choice but to battle physically for the triumph of either Team Rocket or the Elite Four.
"For Team Rocket, I will rise!" Cliff murmurs, letting out a soft cough as he wipes off the blood from his head.
"And for the world, I will stand." Bruno murmurs back, pushing his legs up from the ground. With a bruised eye, he walks in a subtle pace towards Cliff with his fighting stance.
The two then clash unto each other once more, bringing terror to their worn-out bodies. With brute muscles, Cliff tosses Bruno the sky, as if he is a Pokemon using the move seismic toss. Bruno lands back to the ground, staying fervent and firm. He lets out a soft sigh, and begins to attack Cliff with a powerful blow from his fist, causing him to hit his back unto the wall. Clearly, Bruno's punches are like a doctor's scalpel, accurate, and precise.
Cliff drops, and slowly he loses his consciousness...
"You have lear-" Bruno's words are cut as Absol pierces his stomach. With no mercy at all, she slashes the elite's abdomen, causing Bruno to become severely injured.
"What did you do to him?!" I yell as I kneel down to comfort Cliff's wounded body.
"I did what I had to do." He replies in a soft voice with Absol's paw in his neck, slowly choking him.
"You will pay for th-"
"L... Luna, don't. Go to Giovanni, he needs help." With a soft voice, Cliff holds my arm and whispers to my ears.
"B... But-"
"Don't worry, I won't die, perhaps a little rest would do. Hehe." Cliff smirks, interrupting my words again.
"Absol, that's enough, let Bruno go," I instruct as I stand up from the ground. I then look to Cliff's worn-out eyes before following his instructions.
"Hurry, your friends do not stand a chance against the dragon master. You are the spark which lights the flames and burn those who dares to oppose Team Rocket." Cliff murmur's one more time, before closing his eyes.
"Cl... Cliff."
"What are you waiting for? Go! I'm going to sleep while waiting for help to arrive." Cliff opens his eyes again, scaring the hell out of me. I thought he was dead, but even in a serious situation he still is a goofy person. His surprise, however, gave me a soft chuckle as I proceed to sector 5, or in other words, Giovanni's room.
Lorelei has been frozen, Bruno has suffered severe injuries, Agatha has been trapped, and now? I'm coming to Lance and Jenny. The destiny of Team Rocket depends on my next actions.
