New Resolution

Yui, Misty, and Brock continues their journey to the Vermillion City. They took a very peaceful pace as they begin to discuss about Pokémon. But suddenly Yin who have been sleeping on Yui's head suddenly move in a jerking manner that almost knocked Yui down because the sudden lost of balance if it was not for Yang fast respond to steady Yui's legs.

Yang ask seriously "What happen Yin? Did you sense something?" Yin jump from Yui's head to the ground gracefully and gives a menacing grin "Yea, there's a group of rascal that trying to prank us. Let me teach them a lesson to not dare to mess with us. I will show who the King of Prank here." with that Yin rush off leaving us behind. Yang sweatdrop "King of Prank? Did he really just made up that title? Honestly what a child." Yang then continue to mumbles about Yin childishness as he walk beside Yui.

Misty look confused as she doesn't understand Pokespeech "Why Yin suddenly took off somewhere Yui?" Brock also look at Yui for she is the only one in the group that has the ability to understand Pokespeech. Yui let out sheepish smile "Ha..ha.., Yin just smell a group of Pokémon that trying to prank us. He took that as a challenge and he run to teach them who the better prankster. Yang currently just exasperated by Yin's childish attics. Just please ignore this, Yin will come back on his own when he was satisfied."

Misty and Brock look at Yui speechlessly but proceed to ignored what just happen as per Yui's request, this made Yui who uncomfortable relaxed a bit. "AHH!!" a loud yelling noise of Pokémons suddenly appear startling the group, making then look toward the source of the sound.

Yang groan "Ugh. Yin finally got them." Yui wisely choose not to comment as she lead their group to the source of the yelling. When they arrived at the area, they found Yin standing in front of a big pit that being dug in the middle of the road. Yin was looking inside the pit while he mocking the Pokémon that stuck inside it "Idiots. It's a hundred years to early to tried to trick me The King of Prank, Yin-sama. Stay down there for a day and reflect the consequences of your actions."

Yui could hear the complain of the Pokémon that stuck inside the pit that seems to be their own creation. Yui and her group look down and find a group of five Squirtle that somehow wearing black glasses. The glasses are alike to each other except one for one Squirtle that clearly their leader as he was the one that speaking more than the rest.

That Squirtle leader seems to get mad by Yin constant mocking so he launch Water Gun at Yin. Yin caught by surprised get drenched by the water. Seeing Yin speechless face the group of Squirtle laugh mockingly back at Yin. This make the cycle repeat and now is Yin turn to be angered he decided to use Hyper Voice at the Squirtle making them hurt very badly as they ware hit in point blank.

Yui immediately notice that Yin is using to much power in his anger and stop him before he fatally hurt the wild Pokémon "Stop Yin! you're going to far! Please stop before you hurt them to badly!" Yin didn't seems to notice Yui in his anger, so Yang took a step to stop him with a punch on Yin's head to knock some sense that he lose.

Yin flinch from the pain of a fighting type move that Yang used at him, he yelled as he feels unjustified "What are you doing Yang?! That's hurt you know!!! I'm only teaching these brats a lesson!" Yang then glared at Yin and points at the Squirtle who currently writhing in pain "You're going to far!!! Look at them, they're in pain!! You've used to much strength!! You knows that we're too different from them in a matter of strength, only and old and well trained Pokémon like the one in gym or the League that can stand and endure our power!! This is no longer teaching them a lesson, you're just close from murdering them!! This is why I've always told you to control your power, we're too different from them!!"

Yin look at the result of his temper and flinch in shame and guilt "N-no...no...no, I-i..I didn't mean to do this. I have lost control and...I'm sorry Yui." Yin looks about to cry as his whole shook, he look down to the ground as he was very ashamed and afraid to look at Yui who might look at him in disgust and fear.

Yui just took Yin and hug him gently to show that she still accept him even after this burst of control "I know you would not done something like this on purpose, but I'm sad that I could not stop you before you did this. I'm sorry Yin for failing to stop for you. I should've understood more about your power and set your limiter more better."

Yin about to deny what Yui just said and claim that this was his fault but he was cut by Yang stern voice "Stop this who to blame game. By this experience, I demand Yin to be more aware of your position like you should have. Yui whit this event, you should also have more awareness about to let us went wild without any supervisor. we could bring to many damage to our surrounding even if we're unaware and this is where you came as our limiter. You should never hesitate to stop us if you did then the one to pay not us but others surrounding us. Understood!"

Yui and Yin gives a nod with resolution in their eyes to do better next time. "Yui, I don't know half the thing you're saying, but they need treatment and fast." Misty finally decided to cut Yui's conversation with her Pokémon as she points at the Squirtle that she and Brock manage to pick up from the pit and Brock currently giving them a first aid treatment.

Misty could see from the half of conversation that Yui speak off, that this injuries is an accident and don't blame her. She and Brock decided that they need Yui's ability to heal the wild Pokémon, so Misty went to snap her out from Yui's guilt trip while Brock patching the wild Pokémon as he could.

Yui immediately move to the Squirtle and used her ability to heal. The Squirtle flinch seeing the sudden light but doesn't fight back went they realize that the light doesn't hurt them but heal their pain. Yui's is completely drained after her healing season, she was grateful there only five of then that badly injured. Her limit is still five Pokémon per a day, by this experience she thought that she need to train this ability so she can breakthrough that limit and help more Pokémon that maybe fatally injured like this in the future.

After she healed the Squirtle they hesitates a bit before the leader step up to say their thanks. Yui smile that they didn't seems to grudge Yin for his action "Your welcome and thank you for understanding." The Squirtle leader blush at Yui genuine smile. He about to said something but a siren was heard coming their direction in fast speed. Hearing this the Squirtle immediately scattered away. Soon after that Officer Jenny appear on her motorcycle "Is there someone hurt? Is everyone okay?" She ask as she stop in front the group.

Brock was the first to answer "No, we're fine. We accidentally hurt a group of a Squirtle that trying to prank us. After healing them back they suddenly run away hearing your motorcycle siren. By the way why there's so many wild Squirtles? They're a starter Pokémon that should be raised in a private ranch. It's almost impossible to find a wild one."

Officer Jenny release a relieved sigh "I'm glad that nobody hurt. Well, come and follow me in my office near here. There I will tell you their story." The group follow Officer Jenny to a police station, they sit on her guest office sofa while drinking some tea that Officer Jenny serve to them.

Officer Jenny look at the group after they took time to make themselves comfortable and then begin to explain "Those Squirtles are Pokémon that deserted by their own trainer. They create a group that been called Squirtle Squad. So now they pull pranks and sometimes steal from everyone they manage to caught. It's really sad thing if they had a caring trainers they wouldn't be like this at all. Well, with what they have done I have no choice to captured them if I saw them. But please don't begrudge them for their action." With a sad face Officer sent the group outside.

Yui and her group decide to stay in the town for a while to rest. In the in they decide to discuss about the event today. Yui look solemn "Sometimes action like this make me hate humans more than Pokémon. I know that it's quite hard for other people to understand Pokémon but to treat those wonderful creature with abuse and abandonment. It's like human doesn't really recognize that Pokémon also have feelings like human." Yui unconsciously clench her hand making it white.

Yui then look up at Misty who give Yui an encouraging look as she laid hand on Yui's to slowly coaxing her to not hurt herself. "Thinking about those Squitle make me decided to catch those Squirtles and then gives them the home and care that they should have. With them they can help my gym and our water show."

Brock give a small smile as he nod in agreement "That is a great idea Misty. With the Cerulean Gym backing you would be able to care that much of Squirtles without any trouble after all your gym specialized in water type Pokémon."

Misty then frown "But their trust in trainer already been very damaged. It won't be easy to win their trust." Yui suddenly stand startling her human companies because just a moment ago she look very depressed "Misty is right, but rather that sit here and do nothing. I rather try to convince them to give us a chance. Nothing will start unless we try. Let's go!"

Yang and Yin smile at Yui's action they trust and believe that she will stand from this small matters on her own. Misty and Brock also quickly follow Yui in confidence as her small back gives them strength to move towards.

They're walking around in the forest near the town to search for the Squirtles. As they walk they find a pond and find their target playing with the water.

As they about to approach them a net suddenly come out from no where. It caught all the Squirltes and then it's let out an electric that zapped them making all the water type Pokémon weak.

An annoying laugh came from above, Yui and her group look up and find a Meowth theme hot air balloon inside there are the thief that have cause trouble in their journey.

"Prepare for trouble," said the Jessie.

"Make it double," said the James.

"To protect the world from devastation,"

"To unite all people within our nation,"

"To denounce the evils of truth and love,"

"To extend our reach to the stars above,"

"Jessie," the woman introduce herself.

"James," the man introduce himself.

"Team Rocket blasting off at the speed of light,"

"Surrender now or prepare to fight,"

"Meowth that's right." Meowth said.

Yui sigh exasperated "Oh, it's team Rocket again." It's the first time she ever felt irritated at other person. She usually very gentle and patient person but somehow these three rub her in a particular way that somehow itchy. That feeling make her feel annoyed everytimes they appear. "When will you guys stop. Don't you already very experience about messing with us around. But at least I could admit that you're very creative. If only you would use this kind of creativity for good." Yui sigh and look at the Team Rocket with pitying look.

Jessie was the first to snap "Don't look down at us! After were done with this Squitles we'll capture those rare Pokémon that you have!"

Misty step up and took out her Pokeball "Not if I could help it! Go Starmie!" Misty's Starmie came out from it and immediately spin towards the root of the net and cut it. The Squirtles that released scrambled and hide behind the group. The Squirtles look at the group in recognize and gratefulness. They're the group that they just met this morning. "Why save us?" The leader ask in disbelief and a bit hope.

Yui who able to understand Pokespeach answer them. "I take that you remember us? Listen Squirtles I know that your trainers did was wrong, but not all trainer is like that. There always good and bad in both human and Pokémon. We'll show you by protect you guys from this crooks."

James sneer "Stop talking to yourself twerp! We will finally show you to not mess with us! Go Koffing!" Jessie also sent out her Ekans along with James's Koffing. Those Pokémon launch at Yui and her group. The Squirtle squeal in freight but before they even able to touch the group Misty decided to not play around. "Starmie Psychic! Sent them flying full power!" Starmie then proceed to give of a glowing pink energy it cover both Ekans and Koffing making them stop mid air. Starmei then use his power to flung them to the hot air balloon hitting their owner. Yui quickly ordered "Yin use Hyper Voice and sent them away!" Yin grin widely as he jump of Yui's head and he let out a loud voice that Shook the pond water and send the Team Rocket flying. "Team Rocket's blasting off again!" shouted Team Rocket as they went flying far away till they look like a star.

Misty smile satisfied at this result and decided to return her Starmie back to her Pokeball as there's no longer any threat. Misty slowly turn and kneel in front the Squirtles so they can see her face to face comfortably "I'm one of the gym leader of Cerulean Gym. We could really used your help and we promise to really take care of you. I would really like it if you can put your trust in me once again and I will train you guys to be the best Water type Pokémon there is. After all to be the best Water type Pokémon master is my dream. So, what you guys think?" Ask Misty as she reach her arms out to the Squirtles. The Squirtles look at each other in hesitation for a moment, before they took off their glasses revealing teary-eyes and they immediately jump to Misty, pushing her down as she lied on the floor because a pile of Squirtles. She laugh happily as some Squirtles snuggle at her that make her ticklish.

After the not so near kidnapping accident. Misty bonded with the Squirtles and captured them. To calm them down in a new area that is the gym Misty stays in front of the communication device for hour to told her sister how to take care each of them and alternatively switch the Squirtles that going with her through her journey, while the rest happily help the gym and some the water show back at Cerulean Gym.

Yui and her group finished all their preparation, said their farewell to Officer Jenny in town so she won't be worried about the Squirtles any longer and continue their journey towards Vermilion City.
