Chereads / Pokemon: Radical Redux / Chapter 194 - "You absolute idiots"

Chapter 194 - "You absolute idiots"

{Ashtwo and heist squad}

It was currently dark outside, so even though there were still a good few guards and people roaming around, the trio was able to sneak through after putting a hood on Enid and her white hair.

To get in they chose to enter through one of the side eclectic doors, although it needed a keycard which none of them had, so how will they get inside you may ask, well to know that you need to learn something about Muk

[Muk(M)]

[Homunculus Body - has complete control over every cell in the user's body]

So Ash had Muk create a few small Muks that went in through the vents, meanwhile, Muk himself used minimize to hide himself on Ash's shoulder, and he could even get rid of the smell.

 (Muk Team 6)

The squad of Muk clones were traveling through a nearby vent system, they were all part of the same body so they were able to communicate with each other without drawing any noise. And Ash was seeing through them with Aura.

As they moved over that passed openings they saw some members of this gang, if you could call it that, most of them were talking about their shipments.

"Dude I'm telling you we just sent out 5 trucks with 4 pounds each of Boosters, that's our biggest shipment yet, as soon as some of those get to those trainers taking on those Gyms we'll have more business than ever." one guy in a bandana said

"Why are you saying that like you're the boss, you joined a week before I did, do you even know what it's made of?" another guy said

"Pshh, nah why bother? As long as we continue like this we'll overthrow Team Rocket in no time, then what do we have to fear?" the bandana guy said

"I'm just saying do you know why the bosses chose to directly go against Team Rocket, I mean wouldn't working together be better?" a female grunt said

"Yeah it would, but from what I hear Team Rocket doesn't really distribute drugs, and even if they did they would probably keep us on a leash, and I don't want anyone bossing me around." the bandana guy said.

"Again, you're not the boss."

Muk Team 6 continued to take the path around not paying attention to what those grunts were saying, though they did pass through some weird clean looking areas, which after taking a quick glance they found to be testing chambers, somewhere even I use.

"Initiate testing of new Boosters," one man in a scientist outfit said.

In the chamber a Sandshrew was eating some food with no idea what was happening, suddenly from under mechanical arms grabbed its arm and held it.

Then another came out with a needle and a Black substance inside, which was strange because normal boosters were red. Then the Sandshrew was injected with it.

"If his works we will have found a way to make the effects of Boosters permanent and undetectable." another scientist said, looking intently.

The Sandshrew rubbed its arm in pain before it suddenly fell over, foam started to pour out from its mouth as it let out a painful screech, its body growing but not glowing as it evolved into Sandslash.

Ash from the outside frowned, it seemed like whatever this was also forced evolution, forced evolution was something considered taboo even in the underworld.

According to the legal system creating a forced evolution is worse than just killing the Pokemon, the reason is because it is effectively torture and the Pokemon feels everything.

But the scientists looked unfazed as if they knew this and continued watching, the Sandslash looked up and started clawing at the room even causing damage to the bulletproof window protecting the scientists.

"Initiate the sedatives," one scientist said as he pushed a button and gas started pouring into the room putting Sandslash to sleep.

The scientists jotted down notes as the lead spoke, "It seems like this provided an even greater power boost than normal Boosters, put that Pokemon in captivity and monitor its behavior for results."

As they did that Muk Team 6 as Ash's eyes saw everything, and although the sleeping gas did get to them it didn't affect them due to their natural resistance.

Ash noted this down as Muk Team 6 continued forward and finally reached the door that separated them, they joined together forming a Muk chain dangling from the ventilation, and opened the door from the other side.

When they did the trio finally walked in and Ash held his hand out as they crawled on him and rejoined with the original Muk.

"Good work, but stay on hand," Ash said as Muk spread around and went to hide inside Ash's sleeve Venom style.

Enid looked at the Muk crawl in Ash's clothes but said nothing, even though it didn't smell like a normal Muk it was still weird.

She looked around, " OK we're in, what now, we don't have a map of this place,"

Ash wasn't paying attention but Jay looked at her, "Hey don't you have a Natu, can't you get him to tell us, you know since he's a Psychic type and all."

Ash looked over, "You have a Natu? Why didn't you just have it open the door then."

Enid looked like she wanted to complain but she couldn't think of a reason, "Well for your information, I-er, didn't feel like it, but I suppose if it is needed then I'll do it,"

She opened her bag as Natu peeked his head out, "Hey Natu scan this place for me," then she thought in her head, 'I can't reveal my powers to side characters yet!'

Natu who was connected to her mind heard it and nodded, '[Very well my lady, it shall be done,]'

Natu's eyes glowed blue as it spread its energy through the factory, as an image of a map formed in her head.

Enid smiled smugly, "I'll lead the way, just follow behind,"

Jay followed happily but Ash the entire time was busy, with connecting Porygon2 with the cameras of the factory, with it he got complete vision and could loop them so they wouldn't get seen.

And boy did they need it, since Enid in all her wisdom somehow led them down the hall with the most cameras and ran by all of them, not to mention he had to bail them out by having Porygon2 create distractions by creating sounds on the speakers when they almost passed through areas with grunts.

And Jay didn't help since he jumped like a bunny and celebrated as loud as one too. Almost getting them caught more than once.

By the time they got to the place they needed Ash could only think one thing, 'These idiots are useless! How do they almost mess up the perfect setup? I could have probably finished by now if I was alone.'

But Ash bit his tongue and stopped the 2 from opening the door immediately, reminding them that there could be people in there, which spoiler he knew there was.

They stopped and Enid looked at him, "Well then how do you propose we solve this?"

To which Ash held himself back from face-slapping himself,

On the other side of the door 2 grunts were working on the computers, well more like just goofing off since nothing interesting ever happened, and today was no different, the only thing on them was dumb reports on their shipment and results of new Boosters.

Once just browsed the internet looking for anything to entertain him as the other one looked like he was about to fall asleep.

But from the door and under the crack a pinkish-purple sludge flowed through and slithered across the floor, it came to their chairs and started climbing up.

As one of the people stretched and raised his arms in the air he put them back down only to feel a weird warm sludge on it, he raised his elbow as it looked like goo was on his elbow.

"The heck, hey Jerry did you do th-" Then the goo jumped up and tied itself around both their arms and mouths so they couldn't move or scream

As they panicked they saw the door open and 3 people walk in, they couldn't do anything as they looked down at them then one with a scarf went behind them and after that, they felt a pain on their head before the world went black.

After Ash knocked the 2 out Muk rejoined the rest of it and Ash kicked one off the chair before sitting in it and leaning close to the computers.

"So I assume neither of you knows how to hack right?" Ash said to which he got no answer from the 2 idiots he had following him.

Ash looked unsurprised, "That's fine, I can do it but I need you two to keep watch and not touch anything," Ash said the last part to Jay who was about to push a button.

Jay saw he was caught and leaned back up, "OK sorry, I was just curious."

"Right well, I need to get into this and download most of this on a- Do not press that button," Ash said again.

Jay was almost going to press a big red button but stopped himself, "Sorry sorry it won't happen again,"

Enid just looked at Ash again, "Why not just download everything on the computer and look through it later,"

Ash started typing, "Well I doubt the boss wants to read about Big Booty Lopunny in your- Do not press that Button, you will alarm everyone if you press that button!"

Jay was a hair away from pushing another button, "Right, I should probably not be close to this right, sorry guys,"

As Jay walked to the door to keep watch Ash plugged in a USB stick that had a fragment of Porygon2 and plugged it into the computer.

Ash made it seem like he was working but he just made Porygon2 do all the work as he started downloading files and reading through everything.

After a few moments of reading Ash finally clenched his teeth and Punched into the wall, "Arceus damn it!"

Enid and Jay looked at him, "What's wrong,"

"The main ingredient in Boosters is Pokemon Blood, and in almost all cases they leave their unwilling donor with nothing!"

Enid and Jay looked horrified at that, to do all that for a small boost, it was despicable.

Enid clenched her teeth as she slammed her arms into the table silently cursing this gang, then they heard alarms go off, and then they noticed her hand was on the big red button.

Ash put his fingers to his head, "You absolute idiots,"

Jay raised his hands, "Hey I was over here,"

Then they heard stomping approach their location, Ash turned to the computer, "I still need some more time, I need you guys to cover me."

"Very well, but don't make me regret this," Enid said like this wasn't 100% her fault.

Jay enthusiastically looked forward, "Alright this is more my speed, to have some battles let's do this!"

Jay let out Moody, Rudey, and Todd, and Enid let out a Ursaring that she got as a Teddiursa from a random Egg.

"Let's do this, Moody, Rudey, and Todd!"

"Ursaring prepare for battle!!"

They battled as much as they could, and although Ash only needed a minute or so that felt longer with so many of these 'raiders' and what's more almost all of them were boosting their Pokemon.

Even though they were stronger their Pokemon were starting to get tired, as this was happening Ash left Porygon2 in control as he turned and let out Drowzee.

Drowzee came out and stretched his arms like he was just awakened from a good nap only to be woken up by a [Hyper Beam] from a Raticate.

Ash looked at Drowzee, "As soon as I give you the signal teleport us out here!"

Drowzee nodded as he started waving his arms and spirals of energy slowly began appearing as the battle for the door was getting more and more intense on their side.

Jay and Enid collectively took down about 10-15 Pokemon but they were still coming and their Pokemon were almost out of Gas, they started wondering what to do until Ash yelled.

"I've got It, get over here now," Ash said as he took out the USB and grabbed onto Drowzee before picking him up and running towards the 2.

Jay and Enid returned their Pokemon and touched Drowzee as he teleported them out.

{Team Rocket base} 

Sayoko was sitting down casualty, with the now empty base she had more time to do what she liked in the quiet, and she didn't have to do a thing, simply the best, unlike Mr grumpy Pants Owari who went out.

As Sayoko sat down in the common room reading a book suddenly to the side a pile of 4 People she recognized as Ash/D. and the other 2, along with a Drowzee.

She looked at them and casually asked, "So how was the Mission?"

To which she received a collective grunt and an arm raising up a USB stick.

"It's all here…" Ash's tired voice said.

Sayoko nodded and yoinked it, "Alright I'll send this to the Boss, you'll get your rewards later, but for now go get some sleep, you 3 look tired~"

Then she walked over their slumped-over bodies and went to make a call, leaving Ash alone to deal with the 2 idiots on top of him.
