Chapter 7

Dungeons and Dragons

As Silver left (Lugia was in his pokeball, too wounded to move alone) he was swarmed by reporters.

He was getting dizzy and becoming stressed.

Three pokeballs on his belt opened and the Beasts let out roars, scaring most of the reporters off...

Except Mary.

Now, she wasn't exactly sane, that was for sure.

The crazy woman would do anything to get an interview.

However, today was not her day.

Suicune grabbed the collar of her shirt in his mouth and ran her far,far away, to Blackthorn, before returning.

Silver caught his balance on Entei.

"Crazy... They're crazy..." Silver gasped.

Soul and Eusine ran over to him.

"Silver! You okay? We saw you get mobbed!"

"Yeah... I'm fine. The Beasts dealt with the crowd. Lugia's beat up, so is Ho-Oh. Let's get to the Pokemon Center and then head back to Saffron and deal with that gym leader."

After finally arriving back at the Saffron, the found there were two gyms; the official one and another gym.

Soul went to unofficial gym, deciding it might be good for some easy training.

Silver, Eusine, and Lugia entered the official gym.

After a confusing maze of warp panels, the three arrived at the Gym Leader's sanctum.

"I knew you would arrive. For three years, since I came here, I knew. I do not enjoy battling, but it is my official duty as a Gym Leader to confer badges on whoever has proven him or herself worthy. Since you wish it, I will show you my Psychic Powers!"

Her first Pokemon was an Espeon.

Ho-oh came out of its pokeball and embers flew from its wings.

"So... this is my opponent? How pitiful."

One Punishment attack took out the small Pokemon.

Next was a who suffered the same fate.

However, thanks to the next Pokemon, an Alakazam, using a Barrier, it withstood the first strike.

Ho-Oh flapped its mighty wings and used its signature technique, Sacred Fire.

The Pokemon it was facing fell.

Sabrina was surprised.

"Your power...it far exceeds what I foresaw... Maybe it isn't possible to fully predict what the future holds... OK, you win, you've earned yourself the Marsh Badge."

She handed Silver the badge.

She also handed him the TM Skill Swap.

"Human... you were born millenniums too late to defeat me." Ho-oh said in his sagely voice before Silver returned him to his pokeball.

The group left via another warp panel, Esuine commenting on how amazing the Sacred Fire had been, just like in the legends.

He was going to hurt Suicune.

They left to find Soul with an angry look on her face.

"What's wrong?"

"The 'Dojo Master' is apparently in Johto somewhere."

"That sucks. Come on, let's move on west."

After arriving, the gym was the first stop after the Pokemon Center.

Silver cringed at the pure girliness of the gym. Flowers were everywhere, and the building was a maze.

However, after some navigating he found the gym leader.

Silver walked over to her.

"Hello! Lovely weather, isn't it?"

"I guess."

"It's so pleasant... I'm afraid I might doze off..."

"Hey! I'm here for a gym battle! Don't pass out on me! I came all the way from Johto!"

"You're from Johto? How nice... I'm Erika, the Celadon City Gym Leader. I have been training myself not only in flower arrangement, but also in battle. I shall not lose."

"We'll see what the Old Man has to say about that." Silver had coined the nickname for Ho-Oh from his mannerisms and accent; he sounded old and talked like he was old.

Which he was, but that didn't mean Silver couldn't poke fun at him.

Erika sent out a Jumpluff and Silver sent out Ho-Oh.

Sacred Fire put it down in one strike.

Next was a Tangela.

Ho-Oh used the newly-Taught move Fly to deal with it.

Next was a Victreebel.

Fly ended it in one strike again.

Lastly was Bellosom, who went out with a flash of Sacred Fire.

"Oh!" exclaimed Erika in surprise. "You are remarkably strong... I admit defeat... you shall receive the rainbow badge..."

She handed the badge to Silver, along with TM 19, Giga Drain.

After they left they headed to their next stop; Pewter.


After two short battles, Silver came face to face with Brock, the gym leader.

"You must be the gym leader," stated Silver. "I'm Silver from Johto, here to challenge you."

"Wow, it's not often we get a trainer from Johto. I'm Brock, the Pewter City Gym Leader. I'm an expert on Rock-Type Pokemon. My Pokemon are impervious to most physical attacks. You'll have a hard time inflicting any damage. Come on!"

"I beg to differ."

Brock sent out a Graveler and Silver sent out Suicune.

One Surf attack ended that fight.

Next was a Kabutops.

This was a tough one; Silver had no grass types on his team, so he'd have to wing it.

He sent out Rakou.

A few spark attacks ended that.

Next was a Rhyhorn.

A Surf from Suicune put that down.

After that Pokemon was an Onyx.

Surf put it down to.

Last was an Omastar.

Raikou came back for that one.

However he fell and Lugia entered the fray.

After several attacks the shellfish went down.

"Your pokemon's powerful attacks overcame my defenses... you're stronger than I expected...Go ahead- take this badge."

Brock handed Silver the Boulder Badge and the TM for Rock Slide.

After that they went south, going around the Viridian Forest in favor of the safer, faster route near Diglett's Cave.

However, the Viridian Gym Leader was away.

So the group went further south, to the town of Pallet.

Silver remembered that Oak lived here and decided to drop in.

However as they were about to enter they ran into...

Red.

"Oh hey guys! What are you doing all the way out in Kanto?"

"This," Silver displayed his badges. "I'd have one more but the gym leader of Viridian is out."

Red sighed. "Yeah, Gary likes to do that. He goes out and just stares at the sea down on Cinibar... was a tragedy what happened there, really. You should check there first. Just surf south until you find it; you can't miss it. Now it looks like a giant block of Volcanic rock." Red informed.

"Thanks. We were going to drop in and say hi to Professor Oak while we were here too."

"Feel free to! I was going to drop by my house and say hi to my mom before I went back to Mount Silver again. You should talk to Gary's sister after you get him back; she's training to be a Pokemon Groomer, so she might groom yours for free. Unfortunately, Pikachu here doesn't enjoy it too much."

The yellow mouse stuck its tongue out from Red's shoulder.

"Later you all."

"Later."

Silver's group entered the lab.

"Ah, Silver! It's nice of you to come all this way to Kanto! What do you think of the trainers out here?"

"So far? A joke. Then again I have five Pokemon that are all centuries old on my team so maybe that has something to do with it."

"Five?"

Ah yeah, There's Suicune, Raikou, Entei, Lugia, and Ho-Oh now. "

"I see! Impressive indeed."

Oak noticed the badges on Silver's jacket beside his Johto ones.

"So you're collecting Kanto Gym Badges. The experience will surely help you. Come see me when you get them all; I'll have a gift for you."

"Awesome!"

Oak looked over to Soul.

"Elm told me about what happened in New Bark town. Your actions showed that you were trying to do what was best for your Pokemon in your eyes, even though you were wrong. You showed that even though you didn't know what their happiness was, you wanted them to have it. That is why I am giving you this,"

He handed her a pokeball.

"What is it?"

"Find out."
She called the Pokemon out.

It was a small cyan turtle with a brick red shell.

"That is Squirtle, one of the three starter Pokemon from Kanto. You deserve to start anew, I think. It will help you grow even deeper bonds with your Pokemon you have now. Take good care of it."

Soul picked up the Pokemon that just smiled at her and flailed its arms around happily.

She could tell it wasnt' exactly bright, but that was fine; Silver's team was rather dysfunctional as a whole.

She held the Pokemon in her arms and thanked Oak politely.

With that, the group left and headed south.

They noticed the mound on the horizon and found a safe place to land.

There was a sign by the Pokemon Center- the only building on the island.

It said that the Gym was moved to the Seafoam Islands.

"Seafoam... Ooooooh... Articuno is probably NOT happy about that." Lugia commented, a worried look on his face.

"Articuno?"

"Zapdos's older brother. Technically it's because the last half of their names are numbers in another language, but that isn't the point. The point is the Seafoam Islands were his home and might still be. He didn't like to talk much. I think I'm going to go check in on him to make sure he doesn't rip anyone's head off. The Legendaries here are, if you couldn't tell, a bit more anti-human than the ones in Johto. Well, Ho-oh aside."

"How?"
"Underwater caves. Used to visit him a lot, so I made a few."

"Alright, I'm going to try and find Gary."

Lugia turned to the water and shuddered.

He longed for the feeling of the sea.

He changed and dove into the water after flying a good distance out.


He soon surfaced in the caver where Articuno resided.

He forgot how cold the Pokemon liked his home.

"Lugia, it has been some time. Where have you been?"

"For the past ten years? Asleep in the Tidal Basin. Recently? Traveling in human form with the only human on the planet who can bring Arceus to his knees... my son."

"That's right you mated with that human you were so smitten with didn't you? It's been so long I had almost forgotten. Well, I'm not surprised that he would be capable of that. We've seen what happens when humans mix Pokemon and Human DNA. Imagine what happens when it's natural."

"Yes I know. Mewtwo seems to only have tolerance for three humans: Giovanni, ex leader of Team Rocket, his daughter, Soul, whom my son is currently romantically involved with, and Red of course, the only human to match him to a draw in battle."

"Well that's somewhat of an improvement. Still, Zapdos says that half decayed corpses come washing up every now and then in that area. Mewtwo's still killing."

"I'm aware. Arceus isn't happy."

"What's he doing about it this time?"
Lugia perched on a stone platform.

"Sending my son in there."

"And you are alright with this?"

"He will have the beasts, myself and Ho-Oh with him. He will not fall."
"He managed to get Ho-Oh, the Old Man? Impressive."

"So, how has it been since the humans moved in?"

"How long have you known?"

"About ten minutes."

"I see. It's not that bad. If one of them gets curious I make some noise and they run screaming. That Blaine fellow knows about me and has agreed to keep to the highest level for his gym. He's a rather agreeable human, but I can't say the same for his Pokemon. They're assholes."

Lugia chuckled. "My son is liable to come looking for you later; he has an affinity for flying types, one that might have him give up on using the Beasts in favor of you and your brothers"

"Thanks a lot, Lugia. I needed that." Articuno replied sarcastically.

"You're very welcome. Now I must be on my way. He's no doubt found who he's looking for."

"Who's that?"

"A young man named Gary."

"Oh, you mean HIM. He's not someone you mess with unless you know you can beat him. Blaine's the only reason he hasn't come after me yet."

"I will warn him. Goodbye."


Silver approached the young man.

"Hello?"

"Huh? Who're you?"

"I'm Silver, Johto Champion and currently trying to earn all the Kanto badges."

"I'm Gary Oak. I was once the Kanto champion. Although... it was short lived thanks to Red."

"Sounds like that made some issues between the two of you."

"You could say that. We weren't buddy buddy before then either. Enough on that. Take a look around you."

Silver observed the hardened magma surrounding him, engulfing the island.

"A volcano erupts and just like that, a whole town disappears. We can go on winning and losing in Pokemon, but if nature so much as twitches, we can be overwhelmed."

"I'm wondering..."

"Wondering what?"

"Maybe this wasn't nature. Maybe this was a Pokemon."

"There aren't any that I know of that could do this."

Ho-Oh's pokeball shot open and he appeared.

"Actually, there are two; Groudon, from Hoenn. However, he has slumbered for many years, and requirese an artifact to wake him. There is also Entei. However, he has not left Johto in the required timeframe."

Then Lugia appeared.

"I control the Sea and Storms, but I have no power over Volcanoes. Moltres is powerful, but he could not force a Volcano to erupt. What are you thinking, Silver?"

"Who do you think? He was created here. He learned his hate here. Where else would he test his power than here?"

"Mewtwo..."

"Bryan created a storm as 150-b at the Lake of Rage using his power. What if Mewtwo did the same out of hatred using this volcano?"

"That... is a very possible theory," began Ho-oh. "HOWEVER, we should not point fingers unless we are positive of the guilty party. Not all natural disasters are made by Pokemon, Child of the Sea."

"I guess you're right..."

"Regardless... How many Kanto badges you got?" He eyed the four badges on Silver's jacket. "Four... you aren't ready. Come back when you have seven. Then I will battle you."
"You think I'm not good enough because I don't have the other badges? Fine. I'll come back." Silver called back Ho-oh before strapping a harness to Suicune and heading to shore.

Silver, Eusine, and Soul took the raft, but Lugia decided to swim there, despite being obviously faster and the fact there was much less sea in Kanto than Johto.

Upon entering the cave, they saw a ladder, which they climbed.

There was a very simple gym there.

However, Silver had to beat all the "warm-up trainers" as he'd come to call them, to progress to Blaine himself.

Eventually he did and approached the man.

"Hey, you're Blaine, right?"

"Yes! My gym on Ciannabar Island may have been burned down by an eruption, but I won't give up! Take a look at this cave! We have turned it into a gym and I am still acting as gym leader! I will give you the gym badge if you manage to defeat me!"
"Sounds good to me!"

"Are you ready? Here we go!"

The man's first Pokemon was a Magcargo. Silver sent in Suicune.

After a couple of weather-changing moves, Suicune's Rain Dance won out and enhanced his Surf to KO the snail in one move.

Next was a Magmar.

It somehow knew thunderpunch... and KO'd Suicune.

Lugia entered the battle next.

After Silver revived Suicune, he called back a heavily wounded Lugia.

The power of the ability Pressure drained the move Thunderpuch's usage to nothing, just in time for Suicune to call in another Rain Dance-Surf combo to finish the annoying Pokemon off.

Finally was a very annoying Rapidash that used the move Bounce constantly.

However, Suicune landed enough hits to get a KO.

"Awesome," started Blaine. "I have burned out... Take this Volcano Badge!"

He handed Silver the badge and TM 50 Overheat.

Silver immediately taught it to Entei.

They then decided to head to Vermilion.

Silver knew he was at a disadvantage here thanks to the fact his strongest Pokemon was a flying type...

But Ho-Oh wanted a challenge, Right?

The challenge was his first.

HE found himself searching under garbage cans for switches.

Eventually he found both without resetting the barriers and walked up to the buff man who looked like he'd been pulled out of a millitary flick.

"Hey, you little tyke! It may not be very smart to challenge me, but it takes guts! When it comes to electric type Pokemon, I'm number one! I've never lost on the battlefield! I'll zap you just like all my enemies in battle!"

He started off with a Raichu.

Silver sent out Ho-oh.

Sacred Fire took it out before it could even move.

Next was an Electrode.

It met the same fate.

The pattern just repeated for all the Lieutenant's Pokemon.

"Argh! You are strong! Okay kid, you get the Thunder Badge!"

The Gym Leader gave Silver the badge and TM 34 Shockwave.

Their last destination, Fuchsia City was a walk down a long peir past where the Snorlax was, and another walk west before they arrived.

Once in the gym there were five of the same person.

However four were fakes, very well disguised fakes.

Silver eventually found the real one through the maze of invisible walls.

After joking that she was a fake, she challenged him to battle, using a Crowbat.

Silver sent in Lugia.

One Extrasensory attack took out the bat Pokemon.

Next up was Ariados.

Entei came out for this fight.

One Flamethrower ended it for the spider.

Next was a Wheezing, so Lugia came back out.

Extrasensory did the job again.

Another Ariados, another job for Entei, and another enemy down.

Last was a Venomoth, which Entei took out with Overheat.

"...I see. You have defeated my father, a member of the Elite Four to come here," she said noticing his badges from Johto. "No wonder you are strong! You've definitely won... here! This is the Soul badge! Take it!"

She handed him the Soul Badge and TM 84 Poison Jab.

After that they flew back to Cinnabar.

Silver approached Gary.

"I got your badges."

Gary looked at the seven Kanto badges.

"I'll be at the gym."

He called on a Pidgeot and Flew back to Viridian, followed by Silver and company.

However, after reaching Viridian, Soul decided to run off on her own.

Silver was confused, but Lugia knew why:

Latios and jealousy.

She was jealous of all the legendary Pokemon Silver had, so she was going to try and catch Latios.

Which was very plausible actually.

He said nothing though.

Silver blinked a few times when they entered the gym; the floor was an array of LED arrows.

After stepping on a red one, he was pushed forward at high speed.

After a very dizzying experience, Silver finally made it to the other side.

"Finally got here, huh?"

"Not thanks to your insane gym design!"

Gary just smirked.

"I wasn't in the mood at Cinnabar, but now I'm ready to battle you."

"Good for you! Now see here! Since I got all the Gym badges in Johto I-!"

"You got all the badges in Johto? HA! Johto's gyms are pathetic!"

"That's it, I'm about to take one of these floor panels and shove it right up your-!"
"Hey! Don't worry about it! If you're really strong or not I'll tell by battling you right now."

Gary sent out Exeggutor while Silver sent in Ho-Oh.

"See this guy? Yeah, I pretty much steamrolled all the other Kanto Gyms with him. You're next."
Sacred Fire put the grass type down.

Suicune came out of the Rhydon that followed.

A Rain Dance enhanced Surf took it out.

Next was a Machamp.

Lugia entered the fray.

Two Areoblasts took it out.

Then came Gyarados.

Silver sent out Raikou.

It hurt the water flying type bad, but Raikou went down.

So Silver pulled a surprise and sent out his appropriately named Snorlax, Pimphand.

It took a Waterfall attack and used Giga impact, taking out the water monster.

Arcanine was sent out following that, so Lugia came back into battle.

Hydro pump ended that.

Next was the Pidgot from earlier.

Silver sent out Ho-Oh.

That pidgot got charred badly from another Sacred Fire.

"No way! How the heck did I lose to you?"
"I guess I forgot to mention I beat the Pokemon League too." Silver said with a smirk.

"Tch. Alright. Take this," He handed Silver the Earth Badge.

"It finishes the HM Rock Climb. Take this too!"

He handed Silver a CD.

"That's TM 92 Trick Room."

Silver managed to get out of the gym without throwing up, where they met up with Soul.

"Where'd you run off to?"

"Oh nowhere...and by nowhere I mean all over the place. But..."

She called out a Pokemon from a ball in her hand.

"...I did get this!"

"Why do you insist on calling me a 'this'?"

It was Latios.

"Ta-da!"

Her squirtle mimicked her movements.

"Impressive! It took me forever to get ahold of the Beasts."

Then Silver's phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Silver?"

It was Oak.

"What's up? Oh, that's right, I-!"

"No need to tell me how hard you're working, I know better than anyone else! I thought I should get you a present or something in appreciation, but I totally forgot to give it to you. You don't need to worry about what it is, it will be very helpful to you I'm sure! Just come by and pick it up!"

"O...kay..."

"Bye!"

"Bye..."

Silver put away his Pokegear.

"Who was that?"

"Professor Oak. He said he had something for me. Oh well I was going to go back there anyway. Let's head off."

The group went to the Pokemon Center and Silver healed his team and deposited Pimphand in the PC before the group left and Flew to Pallet.


"Good work! This is what I wanted to give you!"

He handed Silver a CD.

"That's HM08, Rock Climb."

He then noticed Silver's eight Kanto badges.

"Those badges are... Wow! You have not only become Johto Champion, but you've collected all the Kanto badges as well! Well done! No wonder I sense something in you when we met. Tell you what, Silver, I'll make arrangements so you can go to Mount Silver. It's very dangerous to the average trainer, so it's normally off limits. But in your case, we can make an exception, Silver. You can get there from the Pokemon League Reception Gate."

"Bravo, Bravo! Once again you impress, Silver! You are interesting!"

Silver groaned.

Oak was confused.

"Who might you be?"
"I'm a friend of his father's. We're old... business partners I suppose you could call it. Regardless, you know there's still him to deal with, right, Silver?"

"Yeah yeah I know. I'll head there now if it'll get you out of my hair."

"Who is 'him' may I ask?" Oak inquired.

"Please! Red finished the Kanto Pokedex. Look him up. Number one hundred and fifty."

"You aren't serious are you? Sending this young man in there is sentencing him to death!"

"I know that!" Silver said, raising his voice. "That... is why I'm going with only myself and my Pokemon. Soul... Eusine... stay here. Wait for me to come back. IF I don't come back in a few hours or so then I'm dead. Got it? Don't come in after me for ANY reason."

Silver and Lugia left the building and Arceus had just kind of...vanished.

Oak called Red and started explaining the situation to him.

Soul sat down on the floor and pulled her knees to her chest.

Her Squirtle, failing to be able to do that, pulled all of itself into its shell except from the eyes up of its head, propping up against Soul's legs.

Eusine crossed his arms and bit his lip in thought.

The boy was strong, but he'd heard the reports about a major scuffle between four legendary Pokemon, one of which was confirmed to be Mewtwo, and from Silver's tales so was another.

There had been some damage to the city, although most of it minor, but at one point a car had been literally torn apart by psychic power from one of the Mewtwos.

He could only hope the boy would be okay.


Silver approached the man.

"Hey, get out of my way. I'm going in there. If you don't move I'll have Ho-Oh pick you up and drop you in a lake somewhere."

Silver called out the firebird.

"Let me see your badges."
Silver flashed them.

"Okay, you're fine. Get your oversized pidgey away from me."

"Oversized-!"

"Cool it, Ho-Oh."

"THIS is why humans irk me so. They are an ignorant species who judge others and justify it by their intelligence, which, compared to my own, is nothing!"

"Well eating him won't fix the problem, it'll just piss me off. Get back in your ball"

He called Ho-Oh back and Silver and Lugia entered the cave.

It was pitch black, so Silver called out Raikou, who he had taught Flash and the Pokemon began glowing brightly.

Silver used several Repels to keep the wild Pokemon away.

He had one target; Mewtwo.


Unfortunately for Silver, he was the hunted, not the hunter.

Mewtwo had know about his arrival since he set foot into the caves.

He also knew why he was here.

He didn't know what Silver had planned; Lugia had put up a psychic blockade that Mewtwo couldn't break no matter what he tried.

The catlike Pokemon assumed it had to do with their genetic bond, and continued observing from his place deep within the cave.

If he couldn't kill the boy, the wild Pokemon would...


Or so he thought.

After several Repels, the two finally arrived at Mewtwo's 'doorstep'.

"I give you one more chance to leave my domain, boy, before I crush your skull."

A voice echoed.

"I only just got here," taunted Silver in reply. "If I left now that would be rude!"

"So be it. When you arrive, I will destroy you with all my power. Before we were allies. Here, we are enemies. Understand that, child."

"He's not kidding, Silver. We need to be on our toes here."

"Don't let him get to you. He's a psychic; he likes mind games."

Soon they arrived at the Pokemon himself.

Mewtwo stood from his meditative position on the floor.

"I warned you, child. Now you pay for intruding on my home."

Ho-Oh engauged in combat with Mewtwo, weakening the clone.

"Admit defeat, Child of Man. You cannot defeat me, for I have lived Centuries longer than you; your life is but a blink compared to mine."

"I was created to be the ultimate fighting machine! I will not lose to an aged sack of feathers."

"Heads up."

Mewtwo didn't get to turn before he was sucked into the Master Ball.

Silver watched as it violently shook before it finally clicked.

He walked over and picked the pokeball up.

"Bra-!"
"Finish that and I'll shove this thing down your throat, Arceus."

"Very well. You did a good job. However, you are not done yet by any means. There is one more foe you must vanquish for now; Red. He is what you can become. With Mewtwo and Ho-Oh, your chances of beating him are signifigantly higher. However, you should raise the strength of your team first. This is the last time you'll see me for a while. Goodbye!"

Arceus vanished.

Upon leaving the cave and getting back to the mainland, Silver called out everyone on his team except Mewtwo.

"Okay, I'm about to try and cram a couple of Tms into him, so hold him down."

He called out Mewtwo...

Who was instantly pinned down.

"This one..."

"What are you-!"

He used the Charge Beam TM.

"And this one."

Poison Jab was next.

Thanks to his weakened state, Mewtwo was unable to free himself.

"Now quit your whining. Everyone else let him up...slowly."

The other legendaries slowly pulled away from him and the clone rose cautiously.

"Welcome to the team. We're going to train for a bit, then go fight Red, with you leading the charge. Then? Who knows. Mow down the Elite Four again? We beat Red, anything is possible."

"Perhaps you could challenge Zapdos? He did mention you returning for a fight."

"Not a bad idea. You up for it?"

"Always."

The three went back to Zapdos's domain.

The Pokemon was currently roosting near the Power Plant.

"Hit him with a Charge Beam." Suggested Silver.

Mewtwo shrugged and fired a beam, the attack hitting Zapdos and scaring him to death.

"YAH? What the? Mewtwo? How the hell did you get out here? Why the hell are you out here?"

"I caught him. Duh." Silver replied.

"I see... Guess that means you're here for that fight, huh?"

"Of course."

Of course the battle wound up with Zapdos in a Dusk Ball (surprisingly) and going to the PC.

"Not bad, Two'."

"Do NOT call me that. I only tolerated it when the Other said it because we are the only of our kind."

"Fine whatever! You're boring. Maybe I should cram you back in the pokeball."

After some minor bickering the three headed back to Pallet.


END CHAPTER 7

With Mewtwo captured and the gyms complete, the final challenge is red.

But the question is, will Silver be prepared for the battle, or will he finally meet his match?
