Saber yelled as the gun flew 15 feet and landed in the soft white sand. He looked down at his hand, which now had a deep cut along the knuckles. "Bastard!!" Saber ran towards the TR-BOT, only to get knocked back into Sirius by the TR-BOT's powerful punch. "This isn't gonna be fun." Sirius said to Saber as they both picked themselves up. The TR-BOT stood menacingly above them. ---- Meanwhile, elsewhere... Blind Tom took a few seconds from controlling the TR-BOT to check it's status. "Status report." he commanded. A female voice filled the headset. "TR-BOT operating at 67% efficiency. Severe damage to left arm. Water/Ice mechanism malfunctioning. Severe damage to chestplate. Erosion of metal, internal parts damaged. Repairation mandatory, or self-destruct imminent." Tom knew he couldn't let the TR-BOT be destroyed again, especially on Ivory Island. The ATRs could use the parts against Team Rocket. He returned his total attention to the battle. "I have no more time to play with these two, they must be terminated." ---- Back on Ivory... After a few seconds of standing stock still, the TR-BOT began to move again. "Humans, you interest me no longer." he bellowed. He sheated his sword, and in one quick movement, picked up Saber and Sirius and went to toss them. He succeeded in throwing Sirius, who went flying towards the complex at breakneck speed and crashed through the roof. However, the TR-BOT's left arm, the one holding Saber, sparked and malfunctioned. It flung Saber at the ground at the same speed Sirius had been flung towards the building. Needless to say, it hurt. "I must return for repairs. Unfortunately, I can't stay here and watch your demise. This will have to do." That said, the TR-BOT activated his flamethrower and burnt Saber to a crisp. The TR-BOT then turned around and ran to the shoreline. He launched himself upwards and began to fly over the ocean, to Cinnabar Island, the nearest repair station. Saber picked himself up and looked around. Where had the TR-BOT gone? He noticed an object rocketing away from the island amid the constant barrage of Wigglytuffs. He dusted the burntness off, as people tend to do, and retrieved his gun. He then ran to the shoreline. "UV-ultra, time to shine!" he yelled as he released the Gyarados from his Pokeball. UV-ultra yawned and streched himself out. He took one look at the water and asked psychically #Am I only to be used as transport?# "Would you rather have been fried like Sirius's Gyarados?" #Good point.# UV-ultra got into the water and Saber jumped on his back. "See that flying guy up ahead? Follow him." The Gyarados took off at a high speed through the surf and started in pursuit of the TR-BOT. #I see no external levitaion devices. How does he fly?# "Uh, he just does." #Interesting...# As they started gaining on the TR-BOT, Saber commanded UV-ultra to attack. "Hit him with a thunderbolt!" UV-ultra conjured up a charge of electricity and shot at TR-BOT. But the distance was too great, and the thunderbolt missed by a few feet. #This isn't working.# "Could you please stop talking psychically? Some people might consider it too cliché." "GYARRRRRRRR?" {There, is that better?} "Much better, thanks. Try another thunderbolt." UV-ultra fired off thunderbolt after thunderbolt, but each time missed the TR-BOT, who easily evaded the attacks. "Hmmm, I have an idea. Try controlling the thunderbolts with your recently acquired psychic powers." Saber said. "Gyarrrrados?" {I thought you said people thought psychic powers were too cliché?} "I just realized I don't give a fuheck what people think." #Allright then, one PK Thunder coming right up!# UV-ultra released another thunderbolt, but this time used Psychic to control its course. It connected with the TR-BOT, but failed to stop him. Realizing that Saber and his Pokemon were a threat, the TR-BOT sped up. He spent the rest of the flight dodging electricity. Finally, the shores of Cinnabar were in sight. The TR-BOT poured the last of his energy into one long nitro burst, and reached Cinnabar in a matter of minutes. He landed in front of the Pokesoft building. Right about then, Saber reached the shore and jumped off UV-ultra. The both of them looked around for the TR-BOT.
