I opened my eyes to more chaos. There was howling everywhere and a stampede of some kind. It was bloody insane. My Pokémon were somewhere close by and I found myself not on the floor, not on the chair, and not held by Machoke. Instead, I was held up in the air by some vines.
I looked down and saw the most unlikely face, Purple. The fool had come for me after all, and along with him he had brought his dying Koffing and some sort of tree. At least he had managed to stay alive in my absence.
The tree moved and I realised what was holding me up. Vines of the tree, of an Exeggutor. For some reason, the weird Pokémon recognised me... IT WAS THE BLOODY EXEGGCUTE! Though, where the hell was Abra.
Never mind.
I assumed I didn't have long left, as either I would be burned by the many Growlithes or recaptured by the Jennys at one point. But then, it suddenly got bright, really bright and I couldn't see anything. For some reason, Purple had told his Exeggutor to use Sunny Day. Did he know it would increase the power of fire moves?! There was a ton of fire Pokémon around!
Ahh Rollout. Its a move that gets stronger each consecutive hit... but you have to hit to do damage. Purple's Exeggutor tried to do Rollout... but it just fell flat on its face, unmoving. I fell onto the floor and struggled out of the vines. Well Purple wasn't going to get everything right...
After a few minutes, the chaos subsided and the Jennys had surrounded us by a ton of Growlithes. My Pokémon were nearby, also surrounded by rings of Growlithes. I never knew the police had so many Growlithes. It was like an army. I thought we were doomed.
Then.
Machoke.
Evolved.
Perhaps it had something to do with Jenny taking them for a while, as I had always thought that Machokes had to evolve during a trade. Never knew why that was, but it was the only way for it to happen.
So Machoke was finally Machamp. I had a freaking Machamp. As long as I got out of this alive, I would be happy now. A bloody Machamp. Seeing a Pokémon evolve was a stunning sight, and for a moment, it had confounded everyone. During that moment, I told Purple's Koffing to use smokescreen. It complied and coughed across the area, spewing dark fumes all around (nearly dying in the process), jumbling up the order and stability the Jennys had just seconds ago managed to obtain.
There was shouting and barking coming from all directions. I think more of the Jennys had come at that point but it was too late. My escape had started and I wasn't going to let it end by these constantly matching freaks.
I told my Gastly to use the best Hynosis attack he could conjure (which nearly put himself asleep) and I ordered my Growlithe to confuse the police Growlithes by barking. Purple followed but it took a promise of some more rare candy to get him to come.
Eventually, the lot of us managed to get to the edge of Saffron City. The police were chasing us and sirens sounded everywhere. I needed to get out of there quick and my new found Machamp was the key to that. The fighting Pokémon used earthquake and shook everything to shit. Buildings cracked and everyone panicked and ran for their lives. Purple stayed, kind of oblivious to what was happening while he ate a sandwich. Where in Lugia's name does he get all this stuff from?
We hurried away, not looking back. Not once. We kept on going until we got to Celadon City.
Keep on wearing disguises people.
