The sky was covered in gray clouds that let loose no rain. Here and there faint beams of sunlight leak through the gray cloak. It just so happens one of those faint beams is shining on an aged man riding a beat-up blue bike, like some kind of miserable spotlight. The man from his build could be determined as middle-aged, though it would be impossible to tell for certain as he was covered in a navy trench coat, and his face shaded by bowler hat with a long brim.
The miserable spotlight continued to shine on him until he passed under an old steel rod arch. The sign on the head of the arch once colorful but now faded, could still just barely read Welcome to Goldenrod City.
Rubble covered much of the city, many buildings were completely demolished, and the few still standing where in a state of grave disrepair. In the alleyways and street corners people in dusty, grimy, tattered clothes huddled around barrels of fire.
The man on the bike navigated through the field of rubble with relative ease, as though he had done this many times. He came to a stop at the gym. Or more accurately the spot where the gym once stood, but now there was only a hill made of its debris.
Another man hiding in a nearby alley spots the man in the navy trench-coat and calls to him, "Is that you Master?"
The man turns around surprised that someone recognized him, then he spotted the man, "Chi-sai?"
The man stepped forward, he was a little over five feet tall, had dark tan skin, a shaved head, and almond shaped brown eyes, "yeah it's me."
"Wow, look at you, you must have been like this tall when I last saw you. Oh my, ... how much time has it bin? You're all grown up now."
"It's been too long master." Chi-said.
"What happened here? I thought Goldenrod was putting up a strong resistance." The man who Chi-sai referred to as master asked.
"We were, until the king showed up."
"He came here himself!?"
"Mhm, Mewtwo we were prepared for, but when he pulled out Deoxy's...we didn't have a chance. He laid waste to the whole city, and destroyed the gym." Chi-sai said with sadness.
The master thought quietly and then spoke, "What about Whitney?"
"She...she...she," Chi-sai stuttered constantly as he fought a losing battle to suppress his tears. But ultimately a torrent poured forth from his eyes.
The master tried to console him, "it's ok, I get the idea."
"We didn't even have time to hold a service for her," he wailed.
"Well it's not too late now." He walked over to the gym's sign that was still planted in the sidewalk and pulled it out, he climbed the hill of debris and at the apex planted the sign. He reached into his coat for a magic marker. "Sorry Whitney but this is the best I can do." He wrote on the sign so that it now read.
