No flames. Reviews, criticisms, advice, and compliments are appreciated. This chapter took me some time because I had to think of a good entrance for Team Galactic. Enjoy!

Chapter 3: VS Bronzor

It was a sunny Saturday morning in Jubilife. Rory and Crystal had not run in to anymore problems on their way here, other then being chased by some Beedrill and watched mercilessly by a group of Hoothoot as they tried to sleep. Rory had just woken up in the Jubilife pokemon center as Crystal ran over to him. She grabbed his wrist and pulled his Poketch off. She examined it like it was an alien device.

"Cool, where can I get one?" She asked.

"My mom ordered it from the Poketch company right before I left" Rory said.

"Their headquarters is right here in Jubilife. Let's go!" she said it in the loudest whisper possible as people were sleeping.

"Fine after breakfast" Rory conceded with a yawn.

"Ok, cool" she said.

It was around noon when Rory and Crystal arrived at the Poketch Company. The sign on the door said "NO POKEMON OUTSIDE OF THEIR POKEBALLS ALOUD AS CERTAIN POKEMON ESPECIALLY ELECTRIC TYPES COULD INTERFEAR WITH OUR POKETCH MAKING, THANK YOU".

"Well that sucks" Rory complained.

"Chimchar return" he said as he held up his pokeball and the beam shot out.

"Bidoof return" Crystal said as she did the same.

"Zan are you going to wait out here?" Rory asked. Zan responded with a nod.

"Why won't Zan go in his pokeball?" Crystal asked, puzzled.

"It's a long story that I'll tell you some other time but, lets just say he is deathly afraid of it." Rory responded.

They walked through the big glass doors and a short, fat man came over to them and said "Hello welcome to the Poketch Company. Can I help you?"

"Yes, I need a Poketch please!" Crystal said getting more and more exited with every passing word.

"I can give you one for 8000" He said.

"There is NO WAY its 8000. My mom got me one for free" Rory yelled.

"We're under new management" the man said.

"THIS IS CRAP. I want you to give her a free Poketch like your fliers say" Rory yelled.

"I'm going to have to ask you to leave sir" said the fat guy.

Rory ran behind the man to go look for one in another room.

"SECURITY!" the man yelled. Rory was running down a hallway and as he looked through the little glass windows on the doors he saw a horrible sight. He saw electric pokemon hooked up to circuits as they charged as much electricity as possible. Then he saw a door at the end of the hallway. It was locked. He kicked the door in. He didn't know why he was being so rash with his decisions that day. Then he saw a little Shinx trying with all its power to keep its electricity quota. It then promptly fainted. He grabbed it and ran out of the room.

In an instant he was surrounded by guys with bowl haircuts and blue hair. Then one stepped out and introduced himself

"I am Commander Saturn of team Galactic. What do you want here at our fine establishment?" This one was different; he had tall dark blue hair.

"I want you to let these pokemon go and tell me what happened to the previous managers and why you need the electricity?" Rory asked loudly.

"Oh the old managers, we kicked them out about 3 days ago. They just wouldn't let us use their facility. Actually we didn't kick them out; they're still here, tied up somewhere. About letting the pokemon go I don't think so. And it's none of your business why we need the electricity. If you think you're getting out of here alive, you're sadly mistaken." Saturn said cruelly.

Rory threw a pokeball and Chimchar popped out.

"Chimchar, Smokescreen!" Rory yelled

As the smoke filled the cramped hallway Rory and Chimchar ran, looking for the previous managers. They looked in room after room until finally they saw a room labeled "AUTHORIZED PERSONEL ONLY".

"This must be the one" Rory said to Chimchar. Chimchar nodded then they went in. They saw 3 people tied up in a corner. Rory and Chimchar untied them. They heard the sound of foot steps coming down the hallway.

"No time to talk, we have to run!" Rory yelled. All 3 said "Yes" in unison.

As they ran down the hallway they heard a thud. They saw a bunch of Galactic grunts KOed on the floor. Then they saw Crystal double battling with Saturn. Bidoof and Chingling vs. Bronzor and Golbat. But it was already almost over.

"Chingling finish Golbat with psybeam and Bidoof finish Bronzor with take down." Crystal commanded.

And the battle was over in seconds.

"I lose. The release button for the cages is over there, the pin number is 42522842. We will meet again" Saturn said and he and his grunts were gone in a cloud of smoke.

"You did a great job, he looked pretty tough" Rory said.

"It wasn't easy but it was my pokemon who won, not me" Crystal said humbly.

"It takes a trainer and a pokemon to win a battle. You all did great." Rory said with a smile. They typed in the pin and the pokemon all scattered. After that the Shinx that Rory had saved woke up. It seemed relived.

"Do you want to come with us on our journey" Rory asked. The Shinx jumped out of his hands and prepared for battle. It wanted to come but needed Rory to prove himself one more time.

The Shinx charged for a spark

"Chimchar dig"

Shinx then used spark to its full capacity but missed

"Chimchar now come up and use flame wheel"

It hit Shinx hard, and it fainted from hitting the wall.

Rory threw the pokeball and Shinx was engulfed by the red light then got sucked in. It wiggled 3 times then came to rest.

"Yes I got a Shinx!" Rory said excitedly

They found an officer Jenny and told her everything. She said she would investigate. The Poketch managers gave Crystal her own Poketch.

"WHOOOOO, I finally got one. I'm so happy." She hugged her pokemon and started to mess with her new Poketch.
