After riding a while, Thomas got to Phenac city. He returned Espeon and Umbreon to their pokeballs, got off his motorcycle, and went into the city. He got to the entrance, but then saw the two people from the outskirt stand with the bag from their truck. "This thing keeps moving it's hard to hold the bag still." Said the one with yellow spiky hair. "I know what you mean." Said the one with a hat. "Mpph, help, someone help." said a voice from inside the bag. "Darn, that tape didn't keep her trap shut!" The one with the spiky hair said. The one with a hat looked up and saw Thomas. "Oh darn, did that runt hear everything?!" He asked. The two men dropped the bag and proceeded to Thomas. "It's your own fault for this, prepare to defend yourself." The spiky haired one said. "Who are you two?" Thomas asked. "I'm Folly" said the spiky haired person. "And this guy is Trudly." he said pointing to his partner. Thomas and Folly battled. "Go Whismer and Whismer!" Folly yelled out. "Go Espeon and Umbreon!" Thomas said. "Whismer, use Tackle, and Whismer, Pound." Folly yelled out. They attacked and hit. "Again!" "Espeon, Confusion! Umbreon, Secret Power." Thomas ordered. Espeon attacked, and hit one of the two pokemon, and Umbreon got them and inflicted damage on other. "Whismur, use Uproar, Whismur, Focus punch!" The first Whismur yelled out loud, and the other went for Umbreon, "Umbreon, Bite!" Thomas said. Umbreon got that Whismur knocked out. "Espeon, use Swift!" Espeon attacked with stars coming out from it. It hit the remaining Whismur and it fainted. Thomas got some money for winning.
"You're good, you knocked out my Pokemon." said Folly. "Wait that face, are you maybe, Team Snagem's?" "Uh-oh." Thomas thought to himself. "I just want to forget about that, but what do these guys know about Team Snagem?" "Hey's what's going on over there?" Someone asked. Two people came running up to Thomas, Trudly, and Folly. "Help, they're robbers." said the voice inside the bag. "You be quiet, We're kidnappers, got that. Kidnappers!" Folly said. "Don't tell them that imbecile!" said Trudly. "You got lucky this time, but we'll get you when we next meet." The two ran away. "Oh man, there's someone inside the bag." Said one of the two people who came up. "This thing's tight, those horrible people!" he said. "Can you help us?" The other person asked Thomas. "Oh well, since I've left Team Snagem, I may as well be helpful this way." Thomas said to himself. "Okay I'll help." said Thomas out loud. He undid the knot and the bag opened up. They put the bag upright and it came off. A girl with orange hair and had two sides spiked a bit came out. She wore a white skirt, purple and white boots, a purple shirt and a blue and white jacket. "Thanks, I thought I'd be stuck in there." She said. "Where am I?" she asked. "You're in Phenac city, the oasis in the desert." said one of the people. "This person saved you from those two thugs." She said pointing out at Thomas. "Thank you, but what's your name?" the red-haired girl asked. "I'm Thomas." Thomas replied. "I'm Yuki" the red-haired girl said. "I was in the next town when those two people grabbed me. Oh by the way, did they use a peculiar pokemon?" Yuki asked. "No, they looked normal to me. Why do you ask." said the runner. "Oh no reason." Yuki said. "If something's on your mind, you should ask the mayor. his house is up the stairs and to the left." Said the woman of the group. "Okay thanks." Yuki said. "Thomas, do you think I could come with you? I don't want to be a prisoner again. If those two come here, I won't be able to protect myself, so please?" Yuki asked. "Maybe I should let her hang out with me, but I can't let her find out about my past.." Thomas thought to himself. "Okay, you can come with me." Thomas said. "Thanks Thomas." said Yuki. The two then made their way to the mayor's house, but someone was coming out. A blue spiky haired man came out and noticed Thomas. "You're an odd person, I have a feeling we'll meet again." he said as he walked out. "That guy gave me a chill." Yuki said. The two then went inside.
The mayor was there and saw Thomas and Yuki. He looked a little fat and had red clothes on. "Hello, Welcome to Phenac City. I am the Mayor Es Cade. How may I help you?" Es cade asked. Yuki stepped up. "Um." she started to say. Es Cade then spoke. "Oh, and what may I do for a beautiful young lady like you?" he asked. "I saw it." Yuki replied. "Saw it, and what did you see?" Es Cade asked. "I saw a weird pokemon. No, what I saw was a pokemon with a black aura that would attack people." Yuki said to make things clear. The mayor was taken aback by these news. "A pokemon with a black aura that would attack people? That's a little hard to believe." he said. "It's true, because of that, I was taken hostage by some men earlier." Yuki went on. "I see. I will order an investigation at once." Es Cade said. "Thank you sir." Yuki said relieved. "We can't let people harm others, especially a young pretty lady like you. Anyway you two seem to be trainers, why don't you visit our city's pride and joy, the Colloseum." Es cade said to them. The T.V. that was on had a news broadcast. "We have just received these news. Authorities have found a Team Snagem member and learned a shocking report. The hideout was destroyed by another Team Snagem member who left with the portable version of a snag machine, the only one they had. Other snag machines were found, but there was only one portable machine that the member who blew up the hideout took." "Wow," Yuki said. "The Team Snagem hideout was blown up by another Snagem member. But I wonder why." "This is startling news" said the Mayor. "I hope they find the guy who did it." "I hope you never find out or they find me." Thomas thought to himself. He and Yuki left, and went to the stadium. There was already a challenge going on, so they went outside, but Thomas and Yuki were in for a surprise.
