	=============Chapter 13: Pokemon Wars Part 4=============
	Anything between * and * is translated Pokemon speech.
	Anything between [ and ] is thought

	The team of good-doers stopped and looked around.  They had gotten into with little trouble.  Well, a bit of trouble as Yamcha and Piccolo had gotten stuck, but luckily, with Sabrina's Psychic powers, she was able to free them with no trouble.
	"Looks like we're on the second floor.  Okay, split up and try not to get captured." Giovanni declared.
	Sabrina sighed inwardly.  She knew where this was going to go.  Everyone raced off, not realizing who they were running with.  Sabrina chose a direction and ran after the group that had already gone that way.

	Misty and Jessie exchanged glances.  They were lost in the maze of hallways that the Silph Co. seemed to be made up of.  To be exact, they were in the middle of the eighteenth fourway intersection that she and Misty had encounter in the last thirty minutes.
	"I wonder how we got separated from Ash and Ben." Misty asked.
	"No clue, but..." Jessie began.
	"Jessie, how have you been?" came a raspy voice that made Jessie wince.
	She turned to see Butch and Cassidy standing at the end of the hallway to her right.  Misty looked at Butch and wondered how he had gotten such a scratchy voice.
	"I've been fine, Cassidy." Jessie said, ignoring the fact that Butch had addressed her.
	"Ah, c'mon, babe.  Ya know ya love me." Butch rasped, thrusting his crotch at Jessie.
	Jessie's left eye twitched.  Misty's eyes widened at the very sharp motion.
	"So, Cassidy, still got those earplugs in?" Jessie asked.
	"His voice isn't that bad." Cassidy said.
	"But I can see them from here." Jessie commented.
	Butch looked at Cassidy's ear.
	"AH-HAH!  You promised you'd get rid of them!" Butch growled (wheezed?), seeing the almost invisible earplugs.
	"Look, Butch, you're a good partner, but I spent three days listening to your voice and my ears started bleeding.  No offense, but your voice is WAY too scratchy." Cassidy said.
	"I can't believe you!  You could have told me at least!" Butch rasped angrily.
	Cassidy noticed Misty and Jessie had already left.
	"Uh, they're escaping!" Cassidy said.
	"Huh?  JESSIE, BABY LOVE!  COME BACK TO BUTCHY!!" Butch hoarsely cried as he ran down the hall in hopes of catching sight of Jessie or Misty.
	Just as the duo turned the corner, Misty's Staryu and Starmie slammed into their forehead, knocking them out cold.

	On the third floor, Ash was glaring at the fourth and final Rocket of the floor, who was sweating heavily as Ash's Pokemon pounded his own.  Ben watched in astonishment.  Ash was proving to be an incredibly good trainer.  Ben glanced back at the door they had entered a few minutes ago.  Thanks to the teleport pads, everyone had gotten lost, save Ben and Pikachu, who were with Ash.
	"Beedrill, Twin Needle!  Butterfree, Psybeam!  Pikachu, Thunderbolt!  Pidgeyotto, Gust Attack!" Ash commanded.
	Within seconds, two enemy Abras, a Pidgeyotto and a Wheezing were sent crashing to the ground.  All four were unconscious.  The final Rocket Brother cursed as he recalled his pokemon and threw a smoke bomb at the ground before running off, not waiting for the smoke bomb to go off or even making sure the smoke bomb was even primed to explode.  The grey ball hit the ground with a *TINK**TINK**TINK*.  Ash rolled his eyes and grabbed the smoke bomb before tucking it away.
	"Thanks a lot." a male scientist professed, crying tears of joy as he bowed to Ash.
	Ash sweatdropped.
	"Uh, anyway, do you know which teleport pad lead to the top floor?" Ash inquired.
	"Huh?  Sure.  The one in the next room'll send you to another room which will lead you directly to the top floor." the scientist responded, no longer crying.
	"Thanks." Ash replied.
	Ben followed Ash to the teleport pad.  With a flare of light, Ash, Ben and Pikachu found themselves on yet another floor.  This one, however, was occupied by two people.  One was a female Silph Co. Scientist and the other was Gary Oaks.
	"Hey, Ash.  I knew you'd make it this far." Gary commented.
	"Gary, what are you doing here?" Ash inquired.
	"Waiting for my cousin, Ben.  He should've been here about now, so I might as well accept that he's not coming." Gary said.
	Ben winced and tried to look cute and innocent.
	"Your Eevee looks a bit suspicious, by the way." Gary commented.
	Ben facefaulted, then noticed the next teleportational pad behind Gary.
	"So, let's go." Gary declared.
	"Go?" Ash inquired.
	"Pokemon battle.  Now." Gary said, insistantly.
	Before Ash could object, Ben shot forward, between Gary's legs and onto the teleport pad, vanishing in a burst of light.  Pikachu tried to follow, but Gary blocked her path.
	"Ah, ah, ah...  Fight first." Gary said.
	Ash growled in frustration.

	Another Team Rocket member shrieked like a girl as Nibbler clawed his face.  Shelly growled in frustration.
	"Where the heck is the BATHROOM?!" she snarled, the urge to pee rising to critical levels.
	Piccolo and Sabrina meditated on the answer.  Giovanni pretended to be meditating, but was actually sleeping.  Yamcha was currently beating the crud out of a mini-legion of Machops and Machokes.
	"I think we passed one a hallway ago.  And can anyone help me?  I'm tough, but I'm not invincible." Yamcha growled, clotheslining three lesser Machokes and punting a fourth into a group of Machops as Shelly recalled Nibbler and raced to find a bathroom.
	"We're doing just that." Piccolo and Sabrina said in unison.
	Yamcha blinked, then noticed that he was actually feeling a lot better than he was a few seconds ago.  They must've been using their Psychic powers to use Recover on him.  He'd have to thank them... maybe.  Yamcha roared in joy and began teaching the untrained Machops and Machokes how he earned the right to be the leader of the Fighting Gym.
	Then, they suddenly began turning and running away.  Yamcha was surprised, but delighted as well.  He turned to see the reason why they had run away.  The four Rocket Brothers stood behind him, managing to form an intensely dark aura.
	"You're the reason those pups ran?  They really are a sorry bunch." Yamcha said, snorting as Piccolo and Sabrina stood up.  Giovanni woke up and leapt to his feet.
	"Get ready to die.  The four Rocket Brothers will teach you four a lesson in manners." the leader growled.
	"Aaahhh... thanks, Yamcha... huh?" Shelly asked as she returned from the bathroom and noticed the four Rocket Brothers.
	"HEY!  You're those girls who always picked on Nibbler!" Shelly said, pointing an accusatory finger at the four Rocket Brothers.
	Everyone, save Shelly, sweatdropped.
	"We're the Rocket BROTHERS!  We're not girls!" the leader yelled.
	"I never forget a face!" Shelly yelled back.
	"Boss!  Remember the Nidoran female we tried to nab in Celadon, but those two middle-age people and that kid interfered?" another Rocket Brother asked.
	"You mean... THAT WAS HER?!" the leader asked.
	"And she remembers us..." yet another Rocket Brother added, sweating.
	"Remember what she did?" the final Rocket Brother asked.
	"ATTACK!" the four Rocket Brother cried in desperation, releasing all of their pokemon.
	No sooner had the energy released from the pokeballs resolved into a Squirtle, a Charmander, a Bulbasaur, a Rapidash, a Poliwrath and three Eevees than Piccolo had mentally knocked out all of the Rocket Brothers.  Giovanni returned the Rocket Pokemon, who were grateful for the fact that they did not have to fight.
	"I think I'll give these to someone who needs them." Giovanni commented.
	"OH! OH! OH! OH! OH!" Shelly said, bouncing up and down.

	Scyther and Brock found themselves in a large mostly empty room, save for three small round fully assembled things that were on mini-platforms.
	"I think thisss isss a bathroom or sssomething." Scyther commented, examining the nearly barren surrounding.
	"Hey, what's this thing?  A 'Masterball'?  Never heard of... hey, isn't that what the fake Giovanni wanted?" Brock asked.
	"Yesss, I believe it isss." Scyther responded.
	"Then we'd better take them, just in case the fake tries to grab 'em." Brock commented.
	"Yesss, I'd hate to sssee that happen." Scyther responded.
	"Where's Shelly?  I thought she was with us." Brock said, noting the girl's absence.
	"She went to the bathroom.  She sssaid ssssomething about not feeling very good.  Of courssse, that wasss an hour ago..." Scyther responded.
	"She's probably not used to all this fighting." Brock answered.
	Scyther shivered a bit, not knowing if it was because of the air conditioning vent right above him or not.
	"I'm not sssure if I'm usssed to all thisss either." Scyther answered.
	"Meowth!  Where da heck am I?" Fox asked, stumbling into the room.
	Brock and Scyther sighed.  This was getting ridiculous.

	Ben burst into the President of Silph Co.'s office with an angry yell of "GIOVANNI!".
	Fake Giovanni turned and looked for the trainer the voice was attached to.  The President of Silph Co. and his fellow executives exchanged a knowing nod, then activated their secret escape teleportation pads and vanished to the lobby.  Meanwhile, the Fake Giovanni looked around rapidly, trying to figure out where Ben was.
	"Down here, hotshot." Ben grumbled, nearing Fake Giovanni.
	Fake Giovanni looked down at him.
	"Time to take out the trash." Ben said, lunging at Fake Giovanni.
	The fake dodged nimbly and unleashed Rhydon.
	"*Beat 'im up?*" the Rhydon inquired.
	"*Just knock him out until I figure out what's going on.*" Fake Giovanni answered.
	The Rhydon sighed and stomped towards Ben, who backed away.  The Rhydon kicked at him, which he dodged frantically.  He tried to think of a technique to hurt something as armored as a Rhydon, but couldn't think of even one thing.  He dodged as the Rhydon began unleashing a series of horn attacks, drill horns, stomps, tail strikes and charges.
	Finally, Ben found himself driven into a corner.  The Rhydon drew close, causing Ben to panic.  Even one attack from a Rhydon could probably either maim or kill him.  As it began it's triumphant and unrestricted march forward, Ben felt something coiling inside of him.  He hunched down at the Rhydon grew closer and closer.  Suddenly, a light eminated from his body as he lunged at the Rhydon.  The Rhydon retaliated by kicking it's front right leg at the tiny Eevee.  The Stomp attack met the unknown one.  The Rhydon roared in agony as it's leg broke.  Ben, on the other hand, staggered backwards and fell onto his rearend, dazed beyond belief.
	"*What happened?!*" Fake Giovanni demanded.
	"*The little bastard just used Take Down!*" the Rhydon replied, trying to compensate.
	"*What?!  _HE_ managed a Take Down?  One strong enough to hurt you?*" Fake Giovanni demanded.
	"*Yeah, the bastard broke my leg!  Crap!  This is worse than when you made me stop that horde of Grass Pokemon at Mt. Moon followed by that damn fight with that Pidgeotto!*" Rhydon replied.
	Fake Giovanni looked at Ben with fascination.  No Eevee had ever broken a Rhydon's leg with even the most powerful Take Down, nor did they glow beforehand.  Just then, Ben recovered and lunged at Fake Giovanni, biting him on the nose.  It would've been a hilarious scene if it wasn't so serious.  Ben bit deeper and tugged, trying to remove the plastic he tasted.  Finally, he managed to rip Fake Giovanni's nose off, revealing a series of cords and conduits.  Ben spat the machine nose out of his mouth and stared at the exposed wires.  Then, he thought he saw a button.  He kicked at Fake Giovanni's face, striking the switch and causing the face to open.
	Ben gasped at the sight.  Who would've expected a-  Fake Giovanni's face closed and Fake Giovanni unleashed an Ekans.  The fake man threw Ben at the Ekans, who wrapped around Ben so tightly that he couldn't even attack with his tail.  Fake Giovanni brought the Rhydon back into it's pokeball and picked up the bundle of Ekans and Eevee before walking over to a nearby teleportal pad.
	"GIOVANNI!" Jessie roared as she, Ash and the real Giovanni raced into the room.
	"I'm taking this Eevee with me." the fake said, stepping on to the pad and vanishing.
	"If only Gary hadn't delayed me!" Ash growled in frustration.
	"Ben..." Jessie murmurred.
