Pokemon WAR-plans for NO.3: Back in the hard life again The marine gazed around the transport as it bumped over the dusty road. He looked at his watch: 22:04... 10:04 civilian time. It was dark inside the transport… so dark… The transport came to a screeching halt. The marine could hear the clicking of X-2000 Canister Rifles as the transport’s occupants stood up. Suddenly, the back doors of the transport were opened. An officer stood, silhouetted by the bright searchlights, barking orders to the marines as they jumped out of the transport, which pulled away behind them. A lone figure came out of the structure the marines were surrounding: the long-lost convict Ash. “Hands where I can see em, dog!” A marine walked forward, rifle trained on Ash. Ash chuckled. A bolt of electricity came out from behind him, shocking the marine. He fell down, dead. At that moment, the troopers opened up. Bullets flew, striking the building. Ash turned on his heels and ran inside, but not without receiving a round into his right arm. Pikachu, now exposed, was shot and died. The marines closed in on the buildings, but retreated when a shell of nerve gas fell through the roof, dropped from a Z-72 Omega-Class Bombship. When the smoke had cleared, Ash, heavily wounded, crawled out, wielding a white surrender flag. He was hoisted up by a Marine and a Czac Infantryman, who tossed him promptly into a prison transport. A bomb was dropped on the building after its occupants, Misty and Brock, were seized and tossed into the prison transport. “c’mon, guys” said Lieutenant General June Ghengas. “Clear the site, this place never existed!” Ash found himself in a humvee, being taken back to Clifton Rock. Lt. Colonel Tibbes, rifle in hand, met him at the gates. “I can take him out back and shoot him…” said Kyba, running up from the mech bay. “That won’t be necessary. I’m a little short on men, and I need to get 65 full Chinooks over to surf city… we seem to have a crisis.” Said Tibbes. Ash was supplied with a Hermes Laser Rifle, some ammunition, a bullet-proof vest, and a standard Urban Warfare uniform. He found his seat in the Chinook just as it took off, flying out toward the ocean... Ash gazed down at the civilian suburbs below. And he wondered if he would ever be one of them. TO BE CONTINUED
