Insanity

Sabrina: life and death.

I want to live…

I will do anything to live…

Ever since I was a child, I desired a life of comfort, without worry but it seemed like it was not in my luck.

I did everything that would make me live a life I deem as comfortable.

People coming after me? Kill them.

Complete the mission to get rewards? Go to any lengths to do them.

Are emotions getting in the way? kill those emotions.

Don't like to talk? Don't talk.

At one point I felt like I stopped becoming a normal human because I didn't feel the same emotions as others.

I was glad that I had stopped fearing death.

During this process, I found out the importance of money and connections.

The job I did provided me with resources to lead a comfortable life, but if they earn the resources the risk was high.

The only person I could rely on was myself and how much Power can my Pokemon bring out. My mentor could only shield me for a short moment but I had to look at the future.

I was tired of being under constant risk so I left Team Rocket knowing well that they could take away the position of my gym leader while concluding with the League Alliance.

Team Rocket and the League Alliance in Kanto were two sides of a coin so I very well knew how much can they fuck up all the things that I had build all these years.

So I always had a backup if everything went wrong.

I have enough money with me to live a comfortable life and a place to live if everything goes wrong.

I felt like everything was going right until I met the variable Aoki.

Every emotion that I thought I had discarded came back all at once ready to punch me in the gut.

Fear, Despair, Hopelessness, etc.

The fear of death that I felt like I had forgotten came back to me as I stared at the mythical Pokemon beside me.

The feeling I didn't get fighting against Giovani because in the back of my mind I knew he will not kill me.

Aoki was different.

I couldn't read him.

I can't predict what he will do.

One second he is a kind person and the next second a monster.

His eyes carried that endless darkness that I felt would consume me if I stared too long.

I didn't want to die so I chose to sacrifice my freedom again.

Now everything depends on my luck.

********

Sabrina after coming home that night had a mental breakdown while her Pokemon comforted her.

Sabrina's Pokemon shared a deep bond with her so knew what was going on with her. They were ashamed for not being able to protect her

She knew that she was not getting scot-free this time and most probably the mythical Pokemon was still around here observing her.

She was right as Darkrai was indeed observing her. She was a psychic and had the potential to become a great ally to Aoki, he wanted to pull her to their side as well.

Since Darkrai had started to get back his control over the energy of chaos, a lot of the powers he previously had started to come back.

Like emotion manipulation.

Although Aoki didn't instruct him, he was going to make sure that Sabrina could not betray Aoki and make her devoted to him.

After a while, she controlled her emotions and somewhat turned back to normal.

Aoki was different from Giovani, she had to get on his good side.

His current reputation as a professor somehow surpassed hers and with the strength of his Pokemon, she was sure that his reputation will get another rise.

Until now Sabrina didn't focus much on the other parts of project Zapdos but now that her life was on the line.

She spent the rest of the night planning the steps forward and combining the plans regarding project Zapdos till the next morning she received a call from Aoki to come to his place out of all places.

She decided to dress well and went to the address given to her.

Aoki opened the door and looked like a completely different person from last night.

His eyes had a tint of playfulness and a gentle smile on his face.

"You came earlier than expected; nice dress I must say "

Sabrina didn't know how to respond to that. If not for the last night she would have taken it as a compliment but now she wondered if it meant something else.

As if reading her mind, Aoki replied " Don't think too much. It was just a compliment.

We are now associates so you can stay relaxed. "

He asked her to come in and have breakfast with them.

In the dining room, she met Misty who was very happy to meet her.

This time Sabrina actually ate the entire meal as Aoki's eyes were on her.

The food was top class as expected.

She wished that she could eat food like that forever.

"Can you tell me about your life in Team Rocket?" Misty asked, making Sabrina almost spit out the water she was drinking.

Aoki gave her a look that said 'she knows'.

"I don't really care if you are a member of Team Rocket as long as you don't hurt us.

At least Team Rocket is better than those cults I hear about.

Since Aoki said that you two started dating, it's my responsibility as a girlfriend to know you better, "Misty said, looking at Sabrina with expectations.

'When did we start dating' Sabrina thought.

"Well girls, have a good talk. I will be back in an hour ". Aoki said leaving the room.

"Sabrina~ Sabrina, how was yesterday's date?"Misty asked.

"I was….. nice"

"So did you sleep with him? "

" Sleep? No!.... Why will I do that?" Sabrina asked.

" Well too bad, he is very good in bed you know.~Will make you want more."

"Oh I forgot to introduce myself, I am Misty Williams. My family runs the Cerulean Gym."

Sabrina was about to give her a proper introduction but froze upon hearing Misty's next sentence.

"Welcome to Aoki's harem."

'Harem what is she talking about?! '

"It might take you some time to adjust and see his good side but once you see that you would never want to leave and yearn to be pampered by him.

You will not betray his trust right? Because I will be very hurt if you do that."

Sabrina got chills seeing Misty's eyes.

It was filled with loyalty and pure insanity.

She felt like she would be eaten alive if she said no.

"I-I will not betray his trust"

'Both of them are insane!' Sabrina cursed in her mind.

********

Meanwhile, in a black room that was created by Darkrai, two people were chained to a chair.

"Are they the ones who followed us yesterday?" Aoki asked.

"Yes, they are Bounty hunters from the Black Market who followed Sabrina."

"Modify their memories to make them think that they drank too much and throw them in the bin.

They are just idiots who thought that they could even touch someone like Sabrina with intermediate-level Pokemon. " Aoki said.

Darkrai did what Aoki asked and returned after a minute.

Aoki then asked Darkrai about what he found about Sabrina.

First, it was not Aoki's plan to add Sabria to his team but last night's offer was tempting.

The underworld was an amazing place for information and other stuff but difficult to find the correct information among a load of information.

Having someone to help him with this regard was helpful.

She was someone who worked for Team Rocket and she could give him their information too.

Since she was a psychic and had strong Pokemon, she will be useful to him in fighting against the upcoming calamities.

Lastly, she was really beautiful and he wouldn't mind pursuing a relationship in the future.

That aside, Darkrai told Aoki what he found about Sabrina and agreed that keeping her close will be beneficial.

****

"Now then, give me the report I asked for," Aoki asked Sabrina.

Misty was told about the Youth Cup so she went outside to train immediately leaving Aoki and Sabrina alone.

From start to finish, Sabrina described the plan that Team Rocket will execute two days from now.

The person who is responsible for luring Zapdos and keeping him busy was Executive Luther.

If he can defeat Zapdos, he shall carry out the capture.

But the main objective remains to keep Zapdos busy till Giovani arrives.

Sabrina warned Aoki that Giovani had two Champion rank Pokemon under his command and had a team of Elite level Pokemon.

If it was before, Aoki would not dare to confront Giovanni but since he had a Team of Elite Pokemon, he was sure that he would not go down so easily.

There were two main objectives he had for interfering in this mission.

First was getting Zapdos or getting some benefits for saving Zapdos if he was successful.

The second was meeting and assessing the power of Mewtwo and having Darkrai plant the seeds of doubt in him to rebel against Giovani.

"What is your role in this ?" Aoki asked.

"I am tasked with making sure that outsiders don't interfere in the mission.

Since you will be making move, I will pretend that I was defeated by you. " Sabrina said.

"Can I ask something ?"

"What?"

"Why did you refer to me as your girlfriend to Misty?" Sabrina asked.

"Is that something bad? Wouldn't that be perfect for you to blend in with our group" Aoki replied.

"Moreover since you are working with me, I will not treat you poorly as long as you don't betray me so don't be worried." Aoki continued.

Aoki gave Sabrina a list of information he needed from the Black market like the best shops to buy and sell Pokemon, evolution stones, materials, etc.

"If you need any kind of help, just contact me"
