The four now stood in Jordan's hotel room; interrogating the Plasma grunts.
"Where are our Pokémon?!" Melissa screamed. The grunts, who from their necks down were covered in web, stayed silent.
"You better tell us where they are, or else." Grasselle told them, now knelt down to their level in an intimidating stance.
"So what if we don't tell you? You can't do anything." The taller grunt said in a smug voice.
"Okay then, if you insist; Larvesta, go!" Jordan commanded. Larvesta dived at the grunts with fire steaming out of its back.
"Alright!" the shorter grunt bellowed. Larvesta was stopped in its tracked a metre before hitting them.
"Your Pokémon are in Victory castle." The taller one sighed. The four looked at each other and ran out of the room and Larvesta shortly followed.
Who's That Pokémon? VLSEAART…
The group arrived in the lobby where they were met by the same bellboy as earlier who had the same sinisterly weird smile on his face.
"Where do you think you four are going?" the man said in a somewhat lower voice than before but in the same robotic tone.
"We're going to Victory Castle, team Plasma has taken our Pokémon there." Lauren said, heading for the front door.
"Oh I don't think so; Throh, Sawk get them!" The bellboy sent four poké balls flying and released two Throh and two Sawk into battle.
The Pokémon grabbed each trainer and pushed them to the floor.
"Team Plasma's plans are completely legitimate and are in the best interests of the Pokémon." the man said, as if reading it off a memorised speech.
"Larvesta!" Jordan screamed. His Pokémon flew from behind the corner and blew a fierce flamethrower at the Pokémon and hit them all against the wall.
"Come on guys, focus punch!" The man ordered. The four powerful Pokémon dived at Larvesta, who was flung against the ceiling.
"Double edge Larvesta." Jordan asked, pushing himself off the floor. His Pokémon shot at the fighting types of which two were now unconscious. Leaving one Throh and a Sawk.
"Doesn't matter." the man said returning the two fainted Pokémon. "Use stone edge." The two Pokémon created dozens of sharp stones and flung them and Larvesta.
"Protect!" Jordan screamed. Larvesta summoned a barrier that began to deflect the rocks. But then on smashed into the protect and it shattered into many pieces and disappeared. The remaining rocks directly hit Larvesta and threw it onto the ground.
Larvesta now lay on the floor, bruised; breathing heavily. "Come on Larvesta!" Jordan shouted. The Pokémon attempted to get up but to no avail, it was too weak.
But then Larvesta began to shine! Its whole body was engulfed by light and it got bigger. Its body parts changed and when the light faded; Larvesta was Volcarona.
Volcarona is the Sun Pokémon, its ability is Flame Body. Volcarona is the evolved form of Larvesta. When volcanic ash darkened the atmosphere, it is said that Volcarona's fire provided a replacement for the sun.
Volcarona flew into the air and began to roll. Flames surrounded it in a ball and it struck the two remaining Pokémon unconscious.
"Now will you let us pass?" Lauren demanded. The man returned his Pokémon and gestured for them to leave.
The group left and Jordan returned his Volcarona after congratulating it and stroking it. Now they headed for the 'V' shaped castle.
"Wow!" Melissa uncontrollably said as they entered the giant castle. Painted all read with portraits of Victini and the team Plasma symbol everywhere.
The bottom floor had an elevator on both sides that headed up diagonally.
"Come on you four, the meeting is starting in five minutes." A male grunt said as he ran over and grabbed Melissa's and Josh's hands to take them to the elevator on the left side of the castle.
"You have to get your uniform on immediately." A female Grunt followed and escorted Grasselle and Lauren to the elevator to their right.
They both exchanged looks as they entered the elevator with the girl that was dressed in the normal Plasma costume. She looked about forty years old with slight wrinkles starting to show on her cheeks.
"Why don't you two have your uniform, you must know that it's mandatory to wear it at all time." She snapped. Lauren didn't know what to say.
"We're new, we only started this week and we haven't been given our uniform yet." Grasselle quickly thought to say.
The grunt sniggered as the door of the elevator opened with a beep to reveal a dressing room with mirrors and revolving seats.
"That's why I love this building; seeing as your new you've probably never been in here before. It's great because there are no corridors; the elevator just takes you straight to the room."
The two girls nodded in politeness as the grunt placed one hand on each of their backs and dragged them onto the seats.
"Your hair colours are all wrong but hopefully the master won't realise if the hood covers it." The grunt said as she fixed her own hood.
Lauren knew she meant that her hair should be ginger as every grunt she'd seen so far had copper coloured hair.
"We haven't got around to dying it yet, we've been rehearsing for the meeting." Grasselle falsely explained.
"What do you mean rehears?" The grunt asked viciously.
"Well, umm..." Grasselle stuttered.
"Well, we were practising how to address N when we meet him." Lauren saved Grasselle's neck from the ever-growing impatient grunt.
"As if you rookies will ever meet N." The Grunt sniggered to herself. "Anyway, there's no time for chit-chat, we have to go to the meeting now!" She snapped in a now screaming tone.
The two girls were pushed into two cut off sections of the room and the grunt pulled the curtains around them.
"Hurry you two." The grunt threw the a uniform to each of the girls and they heard her leave and the elevator go up.
"What do you think the meeting is about?" Lauren asked as she slipped on the uniform over her clothes.
"I don't know, but we have to keep low and not make a scene because the only Pokémon we have on our team is Volcarona. I know he's strong but I bet Team Plasma still have all their Pokémon."
The two girls finished becoming a temporary member of Team Plasma and headed for the elevator.
As they entered they noticed a sign on the button panel that they didn't see the first time they travelled in it. 'Notice: All Members Must Be On the BALCONY Before the Meeting Starts!' it read.
"Top floor it is then." Lauren said, Grasselle nodded.
The Pokémon is... LARVESTA.
