The air smells like disinfectant. He knows that this is all for the best and he should not throw a fit no matter what he does, but when he looks at Lance lying there all bandaged up and thinks of Giovannifs smirking face as he denies any connection to Team Rocket, he feels nothing but red hot rage and wishes his testimony alone were strong enough to topple the man. But Team Rocket is rich, if nothing else, and money is power, especially with the Governing Council full of corrupt politicians, so there is little Red can do unless he takes initiative himself, like he used to when he was ten years old and out journeying and every day was an adventure.
He looks at Lance, drugged with enough morphine to keep him under for days, and feels something clench around his heart.
Hefll take that initiative.
Two hours later, Giovanni staggers out of his office, and Redfs eyes are a bright gleam of ruby, and Giovanni stares, even as he releases his Persian, because he realizes something has gone very, very wrong. There are Team members lying all over the hallway along with their poison-types, andc
Red smirks, and flicks his fingers, and Charizard toasts his Persian into a charred lump, and Blastoise and Venusaur wreak havoc upon the rest of his pokémon, and for a moment, Giovanni feels fear, real fear.
Then he reminds himself that Red is just a kid and he shouldnft let him intimidate him.
But thatfs a lie and Giovanni knows it, and itfs only confirmed when Red smiles, and releases his Gengar.

Itfs against the rules for a pokemon to attack a trainer directly, and Red has always been so good about following them that Giovanni is shocked, so the attack washes over him and he feels his eyes closing but just as hefs drifting off, he thinks he hears Red whisper gDream Eaterh.
And he wakes up shrieking, and hefs glad to be alive – until he notices that the Viridian Gym is nothing but a black smear of ash and there arec things watching him. It takes him a few minutes to recognize that theyfre familiar facesc dead faces.
Giovanni screams, and tries to escape, but Red has done his research well and there is nothing the gym leader can do in his ghostly state. So he holds his head up high and returns back to Indigo Plateaufs General Hospital to wait for Lance to wake, and he knows that he has done the right thing and the Dragon Master will be proud of him.
Itfs the sweetest thing ever when Lance blinks his eyes open, and Red kisses him, not caring that there may be other people watching, and Lance smiles as Red holds him, and he knows that soon, he will be out of this place, and when Lance sees the news, he laughs quietly while holding Red close.
What a perfect wake-up call.
