EPISODE 82: Sudden!***

The subway train stops underneath a house sitting on the shores of the Lake of Rage. My friend Virgo, unstraps me from the belt of the train, helping me stand up afterward. I wrap my left arm around her neck as we walk to the ground. The longer we spend on walking, the dizzier I become.

I feel like walking as if I am a drunk woman. My head swirls, my lungs breathe desperately, and most of my wounds soar, giving me the sensation of unbearable pain. I feel like death is stalking me, and I am not trying to over-exaggerate. Three powerful dragon moves have punctured my body gravely.

Upon leaving the house wherein for an odd reason there was no one inside, Virgo leans my body unto a tree beside the lake. She rummages her bag for her aid kit but then remembered she forgot it back at headquarters.

"Luna, where is yours?!" Virgo asks.

"I was in a rush, I forgot mine as well," I reply. My voice, it is more of a wind rather than words because of my breathing. My body is fragile as glass, and I fear I might end up like my other two friends.

"I'll try to look for help."

"No one is here Virgo! We're in a lake, who would come here? You saw the house, there was no one inside. Mahogany Town is a kilometer away from here, plus the Pokemon International Police has captured our people."

"And what am I suppose to do? Let you die here? I won't allow such a thing to happen. There must be som-" Her words are cut, when suddenly a flash of light coming from the lake blinds our eyes. I too, saw the light, and I was in awe. At first, I thought I was the only one seeing it. You know? The light that blinds a dying person but I was surprised that Virgo was able to see the phenomenon as well. It comes from above, shining brighter than the sun. The light comes closer to us, extending its hues. We have to cover our eyes due to this.

"What the?" Virgo murmurs while trying to take a glimpse from the arriving Pokemon. Somewhere within the flash of light is another glorious Pokemon waiting to be revealed. Just like that, the light disperses from our eyes, revealing the great legendary.

Our eyes flinch after seeing it walk on the sky. It is as if there is some sort of barrier or flooring that enables the Pokemon to stand. We couldn't move, it was... it was too attention-grabbing. My mind was screaming, "Here take all of my attention!"

"En... Entei." I stutter its name as it moves closer to us. Raikou, Suicune, and now, the majestic Entei has arrived. I have seen all three, and I feel blessed and happy. My pain, it disappears momentarily as I focus on the Pokemon.

Entei is a massive, leonine quadruped with some mastiff qualities. It is covered in brown fur and a long, light gray cloud of smoke for a mane running along its entire back. It has gray plates on either side of the mane and a plate beneath the cream belly fur on its chest. Entei has gray paws with brown pads and black cuff-like bands on its legs. Its main faceplate is red and shaped like fins or a six-sided star. A gray plate, resembling a horseshoe mustache, covers its muzzle. It also has a yellow crest with three sloped points on its forehead and red eyes.

An Entei is born whenever a new volcano appears. It is also said that whenever Entei roars, a volcano erupts somewhere in the world. Entei is famous for racing across grasslands and fields.

<En.>It mutters and from the sky, it lands to the tree my body is leaned upon. Virgo makes way for the Pokemon, standing aside.

"Fluffy." I compliment while rubbing its brown fur. The Pokemon allowed me to do so, and also Virgo. Virgo was completely astounded. Her hands wanted to stick on its fur longer.

<En>It mutters again, revealing something from one of its paws. I was astonished. Why would a legendary help Team Rocket's goals? I am not here to catch Entei nor do I intend to for Team Rocket in order to help out but it is the one willing to. On its paw is the fifth piece to the puzzle. A somewhat illustration of a tree.

"For us?" I double-checked, wondering if Entei was really willing to give the fifth piece. In response, Entei nods its head.

"Thank you." I greet, further petting the woolly mammoth. If I could catch one I'd name my Entei "Woolly" or "Mammoth" since that is how it looks like. Aside from this, Entei stares into my eyes and into my soul. My body is then covered by a blue veil.

All my wounds, all my scars it has been healed by the majestic Pokemon. I breathe with ease, I feel more relaxed and my nauseous and dizzy head feels better. How thankful I am to meet Entei. It also does its weird magic thingy to Virgo and she was amazed as well. The blue veil that shrouded us feels like an air conditioner. It feels cold and frosty, the feeling you long for during hot days like this.

From there, the Pokemon parted-ways from us, scared after hearing the sounds of the blaring propellers of Xeryll's helicopter. From the sky, she descends the vehicle and stepped out to help.

"What happened?! I heard the Pokemon International Police raided our secret base. I knew I had to check if there was somebody in the Lake of Rage portion of our base. Luckily I found the two of you."

"Petrel is gone."

"Dead?!" Xeryll exclaims.

"No. Held captive." She explains, chuckling afterward.

"Oh, good grief! Now we lost an executive." Xeryll sighs, feeling disappointed.

Xeryll was able to rescue us, and along with her, we scoured from the skies, looking down below for any members of Team Rocket who were able to escape. We were able to find a few men, about three or four. Their faces were filthy, and they seemed disappointed.

"Three executives left." One of the man sighs. With only three governing our organization, I wonder what the remaining executives will propose next. There must be someone, someone who we could rely on. The question is who. I cannot let Team Rocket fail. More than a hundred men of ours have been captured by the raid and now I believe, we have one more man who could restore our hope but that doesn't mean I have faith in him. Um, I'm just assuming.
