Pokemon The Mirage Of Illusions

Chapter 61: Caterpie Scares Me...



'Well...What the hell do I do now?'

The Grunts quickly disappear into the building with the Kimono girl, oddly enough the Kimono girl is fully dressed and has a face of make-up. Their blue Kimono seems to be only slightly ruffled as they are carried into the building.

As the two differently dressed men enter the building two more people step out from the tower. Each one dressed in a 2 piece suit that almost resembles the uniform of a noir detective, after stepping out they then begin to talk to each other.

"Do you think he was wrong?"

"No way! Our leader probably just got a faulty report is all. Though it's such a nice night.."

'What? What are they talking about?...oh! That's actually pretty smart..It's probably some sort of cover story. They're probably here to make sure no one else gets into the building while Team Rocket's doing their thing..Though that probably means I'm gonna have to hurry up if I'm gonna do anything.'

While I'm discerning the mens intentions, Caterpie seems to make my decision for me and starts to slowly crawl past me and towards the two men. 'I'd be easier if I can find somewhere else to enter..Maybe I can try climbing? Or flying is also an option, but I haven't practiced talk at all- What the hell is he doing!?'

Caterpie slowly makes their way out from the side of the tower and towards the guards and oddly enough they make it about a 1 foot away from the closest man before they notice them.

"Careful. Behind you."

"Huh? What is it?" The closest "detective" turns around and stares down at the Caterpie before chuckling. "Ha! This is was you warned me about? It's just a Caterpie! They can barely hurt a fly let alone me! Though I can admit it's a creepy one."

The man takes a step towards Caterpie and takes a knee. "Oh wait! Aint something off about this one? Aren't their little horn looking things supposed to be red?" As the kneeling man turns his head to ask this question, the silent bug moves faster than I've ever seen them before.

Caterpie quickly jumps onto the mans neck and starts spewing String Shot, the man reacts quite quickly and attempts to grab Caterpie off of their collarbone but the bug starts scampering in circles around the mans neck creating one solid string of web around the mans neck, and with one pull of the bug type it starts to tighten.

"The hel-"

The other man only 5 or so feet away immediately tries to raise their voice and their hands reach into their pockets but before they can release anything Misdreavus appears in front of their face and sets off a ball of blinking light right in front of them.

"The hell-"

'Damn these two!' The second "detective" hits the floor and starts clawing at their eyes I dash out from my position and pounce on the now downed man. On using my weight I curb stomp the mans head into the ground and they immediately go out cold.

"Caterpie, finish the other-" I start to give a command to Caterpie but as I look over Caterpie is back to tending to the now awake, but quickly tiring Larvitar while the other man is on the floor with their eyes rolled up to the back of their head and more string around their mouth.

"...Nevermind."

I then use an illusion to transform into a Meowth and start searching the two men finding that the both of them had two Pokemon. Turning on the transparency mode from the outside allows me to look inside of their Pokeballs, the man Caterpie took down having a Koffing and Raticate while the one I finished had a Gulpin and Beedrill.

I also found two different forms of ID on their bodies, the first one being a simple Trainer ID that allows for simple things like battling others for money and challenging gyms. A international Police badge that while is pretty acurate it definitely doesn't describe these two as in the "Pokemon" section they were listed to have a Wigglytuff and Golduck respectively.

'Damn...I expected them to be some sort of detective related cover but the International Police? That's big boy stuff right there. People like Looker and Anabel are in the organization...Fuck, does that mean they could be Team Rocket members too? I might be biting off more than I can chew..'

Putting aside the potentally world breaking discovery I grab everything else of value on their bodies which is only their wallets and Pokeball's they were seemingly using as storage.

As I quote on quote "pocket" those items Misdreavus and Caterpie seemingly get bored of my looting and have already shuffled to the enterance of the tower and have started playing a somw form of tic-tac-toe???

"What are you-Whatever it doesn't matter, Caterpie could you please stay out here and look after Larvitar. They don't cry when your here, plus it's probably going to get messy at some point and leaving Larvitar out here is just-"

As I speak Caterpie gets slowly more and more disinterested before they just pick up the silk wrapped sleeping Larvitar and start crawling away with they on it's back.

"...How strong is that damn bug?"
