Part Thirteen: Articuno?
We set out of the cave in a hurried pace. We figured today would be mostly walking. We walked all morning until we found a small pokecenter. We ate there and traveled on. We were walking down a regular path when we saw something very suspicious. Mike looked up into the air. We asked him what was wrong. He said he thought he saw a Bluebird, but all of use knew very well that there were no Bluebirds in the area. We walked on about a mile when A.J. thought he saw a Cardinal. There were no Cardinals in this area either. We pushed it aside and kept on walking. Suddenly a yellow streak zoomed overhead. This time we all knew what it was! A Zapdos. The Cardinal must have been a Moltres and the Bluebird an Articuno! None of this legendary birds lived anywhere close to our location. There had to be something we were missing. We started to walk towards the way the Zapdos had flown. About five minutes later we saw another Moltres. "Impossible I thought, there is only one of each legendary bird. We started to run towards the birds. Soon we saw another Zapdos and another ten minutes went by and an Articuno flew over. About three miles ahead we saw a large dome. We raced towards it. When we go close we heard voices. We were pretty sure who it was but not completely. We walked in on none other than our friends from Team Rocket. The were holding a large vacuum like structure p in the air. We looked up and saw Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. They were sucking them in! The first time Team Rocket heard us is when our pokeballs hit the ground. They whipped around and threw out their own. Out cam a Moltres and Articuno! "What was this?" I thought. They looked almost mechanical. Then I hit me, the Pokemon Team Rocket had just sent out were robots. The real mystical birds had come to save each other. A pretty well thought out plan by Team Rocket. The mechanical birds didn't just look mean, they were. The birds quickly overpowered our Pokemon. We were about to back down when the three legendary birds escaped from the vacuum. They quickly escorted us and took out the robot birds. We decided we would let the real birds go considering we really didn't want them to turn on us. It almost seemed as if the birds thanked us as they flew out of the tent. We walked outside and they we waiting, they gave us a show to remember. Aticuno shooting Ice in all directions, Zapdos doing the same except with lightning, while Moltres made designs of fire and smoke in the air. Then they flew off, all in different directions. Team Rocket was still in the tent; we thought they were knocked out. We left them there and continued on. We stopped walking at our regular time. We ate dinner over an open fire and camped out.
