Down in the jail center, Clover and Deka sat quiet and patient waiting for something to happen when they finally heard a noise coming from the vents. There was hard clanging that sounded like metal hitting against metal. Whenever the clanging came to a stop, two Poké Balls rolled out of the vent. They stopped rolling just at the jail cage, then popped out two Pokémon. They were the previously lost Wooper and Grimer.
Deka gazed, at them surprised. "It's Wooper-" he said, "-and Grimer!"
"Woopa," Wooper said with a big smile on his face that never seems to fade away.
Clover faked a smile back. "Did they send you to rescue us?" Clover asked looking like she was stressed and worn out from all of the electric shock treatment.
Wooper just stared blankly at her, his smile never losing its curve.
"I honestly don't think that they'd send Wooper and Grimer to come and save us. I think that these two are lost somehow," Deka explained. He was trying to reason with his sister. It was a weak attempt to calm her down.
Clover's fake smile then faded. "Oh! We're going to be here for the rest of our lives!"
"Grimer!" Grimer shouted before running into the cage and looking up at them. Wooper just stared into space. The two trainers were slightly calmed down by the carefree nature of both the Pokémon.
All of the sudden, the door began to open with voices coming from the outside. Clover and Deka could see figures, so they had to think fast. Deka reached out of the cage and grabbed ahold of the Poké Balls then pushed Wooper and Grimer out of sight before anyone could come in.
Mako, Rika, and Charles came in and looked at them with evil smiles upon their face. Their stares scared both Deka and Clover. It was as though the two sibling trainers could feel death reaching out to them.
Mako walked up to the cage. "Are you ready to help us out children?" Mako asked with a funny look on his face. It seemed slightly sympathetic, like he was trying to hide something.
Clover became enraged. "We'll never help the likes of you!" She screamed at them. Her face turned red with anger, causing the three Team Sky members to step back slightly.
"Never anger a girl, mom always said," Deka murmured to himself.
Sky walked in and stared at them. "You will help us, or you both will perish on this submarine," he paused and grinned evilly at them. "That is your fate… It is about time that you accept it."
"Maybe we don't need them, Master Sky," Mako intruded. "Maybe now that we have more intelligence, we can easily capture Lugia." He put his hands together and took in a deep breath.
"He's kind of uneasy," Clover whispered to Deka.
The blue-haired Master Sky grinned. "Rika, Charles, you know what to do," he ordered, ignoring Mako's simple plea.
Rika and Charles grabbed ahold of Mako by the arms and handcuffed him together at the wrists.
Sky, still not looking at Mako, glared into space. "Sorry, Mako, but you'll be the one who gets us killed, so we're gonna lock you in here with the children." His evil, plotting grin never ceased.
"But you can't do this," Mako yelled while being thrown into the cage with Deka and Clover. He landed hard on his face, but quickly rolled around and locked eyes with Sky. "You need me to capture Lugia!"
Master Sky laughed. "I don't think so. We needed you to capture Lugia, but all of that finished. We've got your technology. We're through with you now."
Charles nodded, "And after learning about your little mission, there is no way that we'll allow you to continue working with us."
Rika puckered out her lips. "We're so sorry Mako," she said in the most mocking way she could. She then laughed and walked out behind Charles and Sky.
After they were gone, Mako looked down then at the children and sighed. "So, what are your names?"
"Shut up!" Deka yelled before kicked shifted back and Mako square in the face with the flat part of his foot.
Mako winced in pain and grabbed at his face. "I probably deserve that…" He said, looking down after grabbing his face. "I wonder how they figured me out…" he mumbled under his breath.
Clover looked over at the enraged Deka, and she took a deep breath. "What do you mean?" She asked, being more polite than her brother. It was a feeble attempt to calm herself and possibly even Deka.
Mako sighed. "I'm actually a spy for the government; I was supposed to bring Team Sky to justice," Mako explained. He tried to relax his tense shoulders but his body couldn't take the wear and tear from being thrown and kicked around.
"Are you a Pokémon trainer by chance?" Deka asked, looking a little bit calmer than before. The sense of uncertainty was still present though.
Mako sighed. "Oh, dear no, but I do have a Celebi," he explained with a peaceful smile on his face.
Clover simply put her finger on her lips. "Was it that Celebi that brought us here?" She asked aloud.
"No. Team Sky has no clue about my Celebi. That other Celebi was a dark Celebi that they came across," he explained. "I would never let them know about my dear Celebi. My Celebi only helps the pure of heart."
Meanwhile, up one level, Free and Heather were recovering from their fall.
Heather grabbed at her arm in pain. "Deka and Clover have to be on this submarine. We have to find them," Heather said to Free, a bit worried and shaken up from time travel.
Free looked around. "Yeah, but there are these soldiers everywhere," he explained while he watched a few soldiers make their way towards them. "We have no choice but to battle! Quilava, use Flame Wheel!" He reached for his Poké Ball and released his fire-type Pokémon.
"Lava!" Quilava cried out, then began rolling at high speeds engulfed by flames. He hit the soldiers making them fall to the floor like bowling pins. He rolled back to Free and Heather quickly, and smiled at the damage that he had done. "Qui…"
Heather looked over to her right and saw that more were running their way. "Free, there's more. Flaaffy, use Thundershock!"
Flaaffy stood in front of them and sent sparks from her coat, which hit each of them, sending them into a flinching fury.
Free then saw on the left, even more were making their way over. "Ah! Chikorita, use Razor Leaf!"
"Totodile, you use Water Gun!" Heather commanded her Pokémon.
The two Pokémon listened to their trainers and shot their respective moves at the soldiers. A flurry of smooth water and viciously sharp leaves were sent at a quick pace knocking them all down.
More soldiers began to run down from their front. "Heather, you take Chikorita and run. Quilava and I can take these punks." Free said with an angered face.
Heath paused and looked at Free. "But-" Heather began to say.
Before she could finish Free got fierce. "Go!" Free yelled at her. "Find Deka and Clover!"
Heather grabbed ahold of Chikorita and returned her Pokémon, then she began to run to their left, over the knocked out Team Sky members.
"Quilava, use Rollout!" She heard Free yell out from behind. Heather heard a crash and some people yell in pain.
She kept running down the seemingly endless hallway, then turned around for a short glimpse of the action. She saw a bunch of soldiers crowded into one spot where Free was. A soldier lifted up his arm holding a form of stick and swung it towards the middle of the crowd. The crowd suddenly calmed down.
"Chika…" Chikorita quietly murmured while Heather ran with her in her arms.
Back at the jail, Deka and Clover were thinking of a plan to escape, attempting to keep Mako out of the conversation.
"Maybe Grimer could use an attack and get us out of here," Deka suggested.
"Don't bother. There is no way we're getting out of here. I made these jail cells," the somewhat conceited Doctor said.
"We'll find a way!" Deka yelled at the Doctor.
"If you aren't really with Team Sky, then why did you make such awful machines for them?" Clover asked. She was trying to figure out Mako.
"Woopa," Wooper called while rolling from its hiding spot into clear view. It popped up and looked at Mako, not blinking.
Mako sighed. "I had to be as convincing as possible. Honestly, I think I got too involved with making the machines and went a little bit overboard."
Clover nodded. "We all make mistakes… My name is Clover and this is my brother Deka."
"I am Doctor Mako," he explained.
Grimer came out right behind him and hugged Clover's legs. "Uh, I'm sorry Grimer. I'm not Heather." She was slightly disgusted by the slimy Pokémon.
All the sudden the door flew open with some soldiers holding onto a limp body. Mako quickly moved Wooper and Grimer behind him and out of sight.
The soldiers threw down the body into the cage and removed his belt with all of his Poké Balls attached. They then left and didn't look back. The trainers heard laughing and slight cheering from the outside.
Deka and Clover stood above the limp body.
Deka frowned, "I can't believe it. He actually found a way in."
Mako looked very confused for being a doctor.
"That's-" Clover said quietly "-Free!"
