Misty had to rip the baby Lapras off her hand making it fall to the table and growl angrily at everyone around.
Once Yellow recovered she slowly lowered her hand trying to calm the baby down, as she got closer the Lapras pulled its head back and when Yellow was within neck reach it extended its body to try and bite Yellow's hand.
But before that, Ash grabbed the angry baby by the shell and pulled it back barely avoiding Yellow getting bit.
"Wow, careful, this little…" Ash stopped as he raised the Lapras up, "Boy, this little guy is very aggressive, that's surprising actually."
Misty was rubbing her finger, "What are you talking about, aren't Lapras naturally peaceful and friendly."
"Yeah but this one even seems to be aggressive, even toward Yellow, and literally nothing hates Yellow," Ash said as Lapras was squirming trying to bite him and break free.
Brock got close but not enough to be bit, "Interesting, I've heard of Pokemon deferring from their species' natural mood but never newborns."
Ash gave an evil smirk, "Yeah Misty what did you do to this thing, why is he so aggressive."
"Wa- why am I the one being questioned? I didn't do anything!"
"Mmmmm, I dunno this little guy would beg to differ," Ash said as he held Lapras in front of Misty just barely far enough so that he wouldn't bite her nose.
Misty moved her head to the side and looked at Ash, "Seriously?"
Lapras meanwhile kept typing to bite everyone in unprovoked anger, so Misty held an empty Pokeball and taped it on the head, forcing him to go in and snapping shut since it was a baby and too weak to resist.
Misty sighed as she looked at the Pokeball, "I wonder why Lapras is so aggressive,"
Ash snuck his head next to her, "Maybe it absorbed all your anger problems, especially towards Psyduck,"
Misty pushed him back by the head, "Oh please I don't have anger problems, and I especially don't have them towards Psyduck!"
"Prove it, where is he," Ash said smugly.
"Well isn't that obvious he's right here," Misty said confidently as she pulled out Psyduck's Pokeball and opened it, revealing nothing, "Eh…'
"I rest my point," Ash said bowing
Brock didn't pay attention to the banter and looked up, "I wonder what caused that sound."
"Yeah, it looks like all the Pokemon were in pain," Yellow said as she rubbed Chuchu's head.
Brock thought back to what he heard yesterday in the bathhouse, "I wonder… what if-"
Before he could say his theory a loud screech was here, no 3 screeches, all in the air coming from the east of the island and sounding like it was approaching quickly.
Then in the next moment, they started hearing the sounds of panic from the people, when they looked in the direction of the noise they saw multiple people in black uniforms with one big red 'R'.
It was Team Rocket, they appeared out of seemingly nowhere and they were filtered through the town and wreaking havoc with Pokemon.
"What's going on?" Misty said looking at everything
"Well isn't it obvious, Team Rocket snuck into the island and is doing a hostile invasion, gosh how can you be so clueless." Ash shook his head.
"Not the time!" Misty yelled at him.
"It's always the time," Ash said as a hand was out on his shoulder.
A grunt was next to him, "Hey kid dr-"
Ash held his finger up, "Sir give me just a second, as I was saying-"
"Oh my apology," the grunt said, before realizing what happened, "Hey!"
Ash gave a tired, overly exaggerated sigh, "Finnneee, I guess we're doing this."
The grunt looked confused, "What are you talking ab- " but then he was stopped by a fist colliding with his skull and sending him to the ground.
Ash shook his head, "Really how rude can one person be."
A nearby grunt saw what just happened and was about to approach, but quickly did a 180 and walked another way.
Misty rubbed her head, "Are you serious, another Team Rocket invasion."
"Hey you got your month-long vacation so you're stuck here with us," Ash said, slapping Misty on the back.
Brock looked around and mumbled to himself, "This must be what they talked about then that would mean Zapmolcuno is-"
Brock realized something, he remembered where he recognized that name, he turned to everyone, "We need to get everyone out of here now!"
Everyone looked at him, and Yellow spoke up, "What do you mean Brock?"
"If what I think is happening is true, this island just became dangerous, too dangerous for us to deal with, we need to contact the League and make sure people are safe!"
Ash gave him a thumbs up, "Alright then if you say so, I'll cover you, you just focus and protect everyone else."
"Yeah!" Yellow cheered with Chuchu
"I guess I don't have a choice…" Misty mumbled
"No you don't," Ash said as he grabbed her by the back of her jacket.

{On the other side of town}
Team Rocket Grunts were creating havoc, people were trying to run and anyone with Pokemon tried to fight back but it was mostly useless due to the sheer amount of Grunts flooding in.
"Arbok, let's finish this!" one grunt who seemed to be the strongest of this particular group said as they were cornering a small group of tourists who had basic Pokemon to fight back.
Arbok jumped forward, brandishing its fangs ready to bite when suddenly a new voice jumped in.
"Croagunk use [Ice Punch]"
A purple frog with bindings around its waist flew through the air and with a glowing fist delivered a sliding slash to the side of the snake and before it could recover it used its hands to jump back and kick the snake to the ground.
The grunt was taken aback as was his entire group which let the people have an opening to run away, "Hey what's the big idea!"
Croagunk jumped back from where it came, and standing there was a man with a brown trench coat and a handsome face, he pulled out a badge, "Stop you are under arrest by the orders of The International Police."
"Tch, who invited the fuzz," one of them said
"Does it matter if there are more of us and only one of them, we can take him!"
"Yeah he's right, get him."
A Grimer, a Weezing, and a Golbat started charging at them by the orders of the Rockets when suddenly a female voice also spoke.
"Snorlax use [Fire Punch]"
A large bear-like creature came crashing through with its fist glowing a bright orange before slamming into the Weezing and creating a creator with its body, making all the other Pokemon stop in shock.
From behind the Snorlax came a young girl wearing a suit as she walked next to Looker, "It looks like our information wasn't wrong,"
"Yes, but we should contact the rest of the International Police so we can start making a dent in all these Rockets," Looker said
Anabel tapped him with her knuckle, "You do it, you're higher rank than me, besides I need to let off some steam, that jerk really gets on my nerves."
Looker nodded and turned around, "I'll leave it to you then."
Anabel smirked, "My name is Anabel. I may be a new recruit to the International Police, but Team Rocket, You're under arrest!"
Snorlax grunted and clapped its hands together as it also jumped forward.

{International Police headquarters}
The office was pretty slow today, not many things that require the International Police specifically, well at least not in Kanto, as the name suggests they work on a global scale with Pokemon that can teleport at the ready at any given moment.
Currently, the head of the International Police was looking over paperwork, the agency is divided into 3 parts, there is the SWAT division, the Search & Rescue division, and then the Secret division.
The secret division in particular is a problem because the previous head recently retired, although normally the position can be empty for years at a time, this time there was a promising candidate for it, Cole.
He was actually in the room sitting across from the Chief, he was thinking about promoting him at that moment, he had proven himself competent enough.
But just as he was looking over the paperwork to do it a call came from his computer, looking at it it was from, Codename: Looker. He had a good impression of him, he actually offered the position to him but he rejected it,
So he answered the call to see what Looker had to report, when he answered he saw Looker with what appeared to be a battle going on behind him.
"Sir, Looker reporting from Cinnabar Island," he said professionally, Cole who was in the room felt his eyes dilate but he didn't change his expression.
"Looker what have you got to report," the chief asked
"Sir, me and recruit Anabel came to investigate a lead when suddenly we were caught in a Team Rocket attack,"
The Chief looked serious, "How serious is the situation looking."
"There's no way to tell, me and Anabel have taken 5 into custody but from the panic and sounds I say that there are at the very least 30-40 more on a low estimate."
The Chief nodded along with what Looker was saying, "Very well, I shall inform the SWAT division as well as the Search & Rescue division, hold out until they arrive."
Then he hung up and turned to Cole, "I apologize but we need to reschedule this, this problem takes urgency."
"But sir, can you really trust him," Cole said looking confident, "I mean he said it was an estimate, and there's no guarantee that there are more than 10, I'm sure someone of his low rank can deal with that much."
The Chief didn't say anything, he just listened to Cole's explanation, and then he spoke, "Perhaps I didn't make myself clear, this is an order, so prepare for departure."
Cole was taken aback but grit his teeth and saluted, "Of Course sir…"
Then he walked out as the chief pressed a button activating the intercoms, "This is not a Drill, we have received word that Team Rocket is attempting to take over Cinnabar Island, initiate an emergency Raid!"
People started moving through the halls to get geared up as the intercoms continued, "We have at least 40 Grunts with no information on any higher ups, group A and B deploy, and groups C - G stand by for further orders."
The way that everything was occurring didn't give Cole any time to contact with the Admins he knows are stationed in Cinnabar Island, to him this was all Looker's fault, so he would cause a little accident.

{in the woods of Cinnabar and approaching the town}
Zapmolcuno was flying through the air with Articuno and Moltres flying next to it, all of them were filled with an unnatural fury that they wanted to quell.
As they were flying Zapmolcuno was suddenly sniped out of the air by a Charizard's [Blaze Kick] to its back catching it by surprise and sending it falling before it caught itself.
Zapmolcuno, Articuno, and Moltres all looked at the new enemy, on top of the Charizard was a man with a lab coat and a bandaged arm, it was Blaine.
Blaine was all too familiar with this monstrosity, after all, he was one of the creators of the original Thu-Fi-Zer, but why was the project revived, he did everything he could to destroy all traces of it yet here it is.
Then Blaine turned his attention towards the Articuno and Moltres, he wasn't sure if they were clones due to the strange Aura coming off of them, he was barely confident enough to even come out here to face Zapmolcuno alone, much less with 2 more, he needed to find a way to separate them.
But then before any bird could launch a counterattack a Salamence shot forward and collided with Moltres sending it back, and a Metagross did the same with Articuno.
Before Blaine could process what happened a Magnezone with a blond Boy on top came next to him, "Don't worry about things old timer, we'll take care of those two you handle this thing."
Blaine stared at the blond boy but then begrudgingly nodded, "Leave this to me, if nothing more I can at least stall it out."
Spark smiled as he took off his glove, "Awesomesauce, let's do this," then he raised his open palm with where his mark was and it glowed, "Run it back for round 2!"
