Cages lined the walls of the dim room.

Noises came from inside the cages, small growls to barks to whimpers of pain. The eerie room had a creepy feeling to it, and the only source of light was a glass window high above the ground through which the moon shined. The room itself was plain white and spotless, save for a red pool of blood in the corner. On the wall was a map of Sinnoh, and on each cage was a yellow G.

The silence was shattered with a loud cry and an explosion. A cage exploded from the inside, and alarms went off. Through the smoke, a Luxray emerged, looking around wildly. It went straight towards one other cage, containing a purple cat Pokemon. Biting the bars with a powerful Crunch, they would not budge. Soon, a faint film of blood covered the steel.

The sound of many feet approached the room, and the Luxray growled then looked inside the cage with sad eyes. The Lepardas inside gave a small cry, and the Luxray growled again in response. The Lepardas this time cried with a firmer voice, but sadder eyes. With a final glance back, the Luxray took a mighty leap and broke through the glass window.

Yells of alarm rang throughout the base, orders were issued and followed by grunts, but the Luxray was long gone.

Standing in a field away from the horrid place, the Luxray looked into the sky at the moon.

Back in the cage, the Lepardas looked up at the same moon before sadly turning her head away.


Three days previously…

"Luce! Thunderbolt! Shara! Night Slash!"

The moment the command was given, the two Pokemon sprung into action. The Luxray fired a powerful Thunderbolt at the opposing Pidgeot, shocking it terribly and knocking it to the floor. The lithe Lepardas bolted forward on her dainty paws, closing in on the Pikachu before it had a chance to react and striking it with a powerful blow to the muzzle.

"Ahh! Gyrados! Pikachu!" A different voice called out, "Are you okay?"

The two Pokemon tried to get up, but they were fighting a losing battle. Finally, they simply gave up and collapsed. Rushing to their Pokemon, the two trainers meet in the middle. The girl ran to the Luxray and Lepardas, but they were fine. The Luxray nuzzled the Lepardas, who gave him an affectionate lick in return. The boy ran to his Gyrados and Pikachu, gently lifting the Pikachu onto his knee and giving his fallen Gyrados an affectionate stroke.

"Hey, nice battle." The girl smiled and offered a hand to the boy, "Your Pokemon must be tired. Won't you accept this?" She took out two Full Restores from her bag at her side and handed them to the boy.

With a smile, the boy shook her hand then accepted the two items. "Thanks." With a small spraying sound, his two Pokemon were at full health. They darted off to talk with the girl's Luxray and Lepardas. "I've never seen a Pokemon like your... What was it? Lepardas?"

The girl nodded in reply, "Mhm, Lepardas are a newly discovered species. I'm just lucky that I managed to find one." Looking up at the sky, the overcast clouds blocked the sun, making the Earth a darker shade. With a sigh, the girl mused, "I can't believe the world's coming to this. I mean, Team Galactic's getting so bad people actually have to carry weapons."

The boy nodded with a serious look on his face, "I know. And they're kidnapping Pokemon. No one knows what they're used for, but they almost never come back."

Thunder began to rumble overhead, and small droplets of rain began to fall. The girl picked up her small bag and stood as the boy did the same. Their Pokemon ran over to them, and the trainers looked at eacher, the girl speaking first. "Well, it was nice meeting you. I really should go, though, don't want to be stuck in this bad weather."

The boy nodded as well, "As should I. I hope we meet again.. I never caught your name, did I?"

The girl smiled, her sky blue eyes dancing, "It's Ariadne. I hope we meet again too."

The boy smiled back, "I'm Claret. Well, it's been a pleasure, Ariadne." Claret took out a Pokeball and recalled his Gyrados, letting his Pikachu bound up his shoulder. With a final wave, he vanished through the trees surrounding the road.

Ariadne dusted herself off, looking to her Luxray and Lepardas. They bounded over immediately, looking up at their trainer with quizzical eyes. "Well, we should keep going. I don't think the town is that far, so if we hurry we can make it before sunset." Her Pokemon nodded enthusiastically, eager to find the warmth of the Pokemon Center. Shara, her Lepardas, shook herself with a tiny "brr" sound. Luce, her Luxray, immediately went over and pressed his body against hers. Ariadne smiled, then began to walk forward, stopping when Luce let out a growl.

Out of the trees came several Galactic grunts. It didn't seem like many, but as she looked around she saw that she was surrounded. One stepped forward, speaking in a cocky tone. "Now, why don't you hand over the Lepardas and Luxray, girl, and we won't hurt you."

Ariadne glanced around. There were far too many for her to take on by herself, and there was no way in hell she would let these creeps take her Pokemon. Her hand traveled to her waist, where four other Pokeballs shook in anticipation on the belt of her skinny jeans. The grunt just chuckled, "I wouldn't do that, girl, because in case you haven't noticed, you're surrounded."

'Shit,' Ariadne thought. She bit her lip, and Luce took a protective stance next to Shara. Several of the Team Galactic members had already taken out Pokeballs or various weapons. Ariadne was close to simply releasing the rest of her Pokemon and trying to fight for it, but suddenly a shape blasted out of the woods, knocking over several grunts.
