Chapter 93 - Howling Valley of Death

On board the mobile team rocket airship in one of the recreation rooms is a band playing. The song Finish Line by Skillet that Biazar thought them. With Kelpy using her ears as speakers to amplify the sounds of the band.

"Good evening, my people up in the chandeliers

The wining and dining, the menu is blood, sweat and tears

Everybody ready, raining down confetti

Champions are born right now

Ain't about the glamour, click goes the hammer

Run when you hear that sound

Heroes never die

Gonna make it to the finish line

We know we survive

Even if we crawl to the finish line

I won't believe it, underdog dreamin'

Don't need no cheers, world's gonna see it

Gonna make it to the finish line

Their dreams just keep dripping out of their golden cups

I'm starting, I'm starving, leftovers ain't enough

Ain't about the royals, they do nothing for ya

All you got is you right now

Who's gonna falter? Who is gonna conquer?

Better never count me out

Heroes never die

Gonna make it to the finish line

Even if we crawl to the finish line

I won't believe in, underdog dreamin'

Don't need no cheers, world's gonna see it

Heroes never die

Gonna make it to the finish line

Gonna make, gonna make

Gonna make it to the finish line

Every day, every day

Gonna make it to the finish line

Gonna make it to the finish line

Every day, every day

Gonna make it to the finish line

Heroes never die

Gonna make it to the finish line

We know we survive

Even if we crawl to the finish line

I don't believe in, underdog dreamin'

Don't need no cheers, world's gonna see it

Gonna make it to the finish line"

Theses were one of the many songs that Biazar had thought them. To play in their free time the other songs were all in variety as well from love songs to sea shanties. Which the main culprit was sitting behind a bar drinking some fire brand whiskey. As he watched his subordinates enjoying themselves in a grand time today. While the kingdom group was looked at weirdly at first. But soon everyone got over it after they heard the basics of the story from us. Though someone tried to wow Rene at first sight screaming angel be mine. Only to get a steel greave to the jaw as Dali sent them flying for the sudden movement.

She tried saying sorry but everyone from my side male, female, and pokemon wise all said good job basically. So they must be a problem with constantly trying to wow everyone aburptly. Looking at their medical chart later on revealed their name was Ricardo Swan Bumper. But if you erase somethings off the B or straighten them out you get an H. So its really Humper not Bumper as their family name. Which became a joke amongst everyone quickly enough that day. Now though its been at least three days since then and everyone's enjoying some fun.

Panzer has even taken the liberty of training everyone patiently. Rene has become basically a songstress ȧssassin which I don't mind at all. Dali well she's been following me around like a puppy after I gave her head pats. So right now as I'm leaning on the bar counter from behind it. She's drinking some green tea calmly on the other side facing me with a small smile on her lips. This kind of scene became pretty normal to see between us that her queen will make jokes. While everyone else occasionally mouths this kind of joke thats about to be said.

"Lookits the undying barkeep and his knightly puppy wife enjoying some drinks again."

This was said by some of my subordinates at a table behind Dali. They occasionally glanced at us and smiled while teasing us very openly. To which I can only put my left hand on my left cheek as I lean on the bar. Taking a drink of my whiskey as I look at the knight trying to not turn red. So I push her buŧŧons to get her to say something just I didn't expect what'd I'd hear.

"So my knightly puppy wife, why did you get so frustrated at a sleeping me before?"

"W-w-wife?! who's your wife you deranged mad reaper that enjoys bathing blood?! If you didn't pass out I wouldn't have had to get annoyed with cleaning off your bloody gear! Making me see that monster between your legs or try applying medicine so roughly!! You heathen!"

Sure this stunned everyone even Rene who was approaching us. But the one thing that came out of my mouth set everyone off into laughing to hard.

"Virgin huh?"

This made Dali drop her head onto the counter screaming stop. So I just stroked her head as she let out all of her embarrassment. Everyone else was still dying of laughter which got louder once Panzer heard why. This kind of scene is truly relaxing and nice to have. Well if you don't care we're all basically monsters, killers, and or criminals. Eventually though we all went back to our work that we needed to do. Dali followed after me sulking and glaring at me which again. She is Rene's knight well I guess not anymore but she can do something besides follow me. Sighing I walk in to the bridge and see how things are going with the trio.

"How are things looking you three?"

Looking back at me it was Meowth who responded.

"All things are a-okay! We'll be arriving at Howling Valley soon boss!"

"Good then keep going you three, this time the training is purely fighting. So this place is perfect as its full of a lot of dangers within it."

Hearing what the training was for this time the three shuddered. But they were also excited to take out their frustation on the helpless one's we'll be fighting. So I left the bridge afterwards to go prepare in my room for this training. As this time we'll be facing hordes of enemies so I must prepare carefully. Dali followed me in of course as since I knew she would be following me. I also prepared her some stuff to wear and use for this situation. Which made her eye's sparkel seeing new armor and some uncommon weapons to her.

She quickly stripped from her armor without minding me till she got on her new set. Which was light weight yet sturdy swat style armor with a abdomen slit in it. After she had put it on she turned beet red as she realized I just her strip nȧkėd basically. Which I must say the lightning bolt streaks that occasionally run across her skin are impressive on her. With a small playful chuckle I throw her a fifteen barreled shotgun behemoth. That she took interest in and shot out my window which what streaked across the open sky. Were dangerous bolts of scattering dark lightning as that gun is a specialized gun.

Next I threw her a simple heavy shot twelve rounds revolver. That shot bullets that can dent a iron door so the recoil is dangerous for normal people. However a human with the power and stregnth of pokemon should be able to use it. After she got her new gear I got my reaper gear sorted out. Lining up my double scythe, a heavy machine gun, a modified midnight coup, and the T86 ar that used once before. These will be my weapons for this endeavour as I dont need much honestly. Once everything was sorted out we both sat around in ny room watching gym battles. Which we both judged pretty calmly each of the battles we watched.

After that we found a thing about every current champion playing. Which surprised me as there's more than ten of them and their pokemon are well groomed. But their all tiedcand bound their respective regions and the league or self righteous freaks sadly. Which reminds me the place we're going the main league head quarters. Is along the way so I'll be stopping there to talk to the person in charge. Who runs all the league's around the world as I need to sow the seeds of paranoia.

Stopping just above Ashbury city me, Dali, Rene, Panzer, Keeper, Hallow, Ruby, Dreamy, Foster, and Kelpy descended. Into an alley way near the league headquarters before heading over to it. To begin our infiltration and secure our meeting with the head of it all. As we entered through the front doors everyone inside the lobby. Was put under an illusion and hypnotized as we walked through it into a hidden elevator. Just through one of the doors by the reception desk before taking it up. Directly towards the heads office which upon the door opening bullets tried to rain.

Only to get get frozen in the air before being crushed inti a big ball. Kelpy singing a song targeted at all the people holding guns. Which put them all into a soundless sleep like puppets cut from their strings. The league head was a very wrinkly old man trying to press a buŧŧon. But sadly for him Dali and Rene had soundlessly and quickly arrived by him. Restraining him while Keeper blocked the door using his body. Panzer had broken the elevator as he stepped out of it. Using his fist to simply jam it in place roughly with a loud crushing sound.

"Well hi League chairman Fogmar we're here to talk with you. As there's some things you may just wanna hear or well heh you'll see endless deaths."

Hearing my words the old mans wrinkly face became serious as he eye's opened. A cold murderous and ruthless glint in them shining brightly. So I chuckle as this man is really remarkable in appearance he just looks a random old man. But those eyes they are the eyes of a man who has seen and done plenty.

"What do you mean exactly you criminal?"

"Hey I'm only part criminal as I did help you clear the undesirable members of team rocket. Though you probably thought they were destroyed sadly no I took over and started restructuring things. So the group isn't really full on criminal anymore but a jester of sorts now."

"What do you mean? And what is it you wanted to tell me?"

"Well team rocket now is basically a chaotic neutral group and force. We'll be acting in both good and bad ways in all complete honesty. Just we won't try to involve bystanders only the other organizations. Now onto the troublesome things it'd be best to show you it, as speaking can be taken as lies. So mind if I hack the computer and systems in here old man?"

"You'll do so even if I said no so go ahead then!"

With a huff the old man relented so I took out a pokeball. Letting out Helix who I told to take over this rooms systems and the computer. She quickly got to work and started pulling up our network. In which I started showing off everything related to a problem. That Giovanni or another leader would likely try pulling, even about team rainbow rocket. Seeing all of this evidence and predicted outcomes Fogmar's eye's got colder. That after a good ten hours of talking and everything I gained the chairman's help. He'll be doing the surface work as we do the dirty bloody work below the surface.

We left like illusions before we got caught now its up to Fogmar to do his part. While we do ours as things are about to become greatly shaken soon. Our airship heading towards Howling Valley once more after this stop. To resume my training plan for everyone to get better at surviving.
