Enjoy
"I can't believe I lost," Nixie cried. "And in front of Brighton no less!"
"Oh, quit whining," Dorian said. "It's not like you died".
Nixie had been crying ever since she had lost to her brother. Every time someone went to cheer her up, but nothing they said was doing anything to lift her mood. Brighton and Jack were worried about what Nixie would do now, but Dorian didn't seem to think that it was that big a deal of it. Zoroark, who had just been cleared along with the other Pokémon, was resting his head on Brighton's shoulder.
"You know, as much as she creeps me out with her rabid fangirl like attitude, I kinda feel sorry for her," Jack said. "She really did want to win that match".
"Yeah well I'm glad she didn't," Brighton said. "I don't want to think about what she would do if she did win. And when the hell will she stop crying?"
"Don't worry about it," Dorian said. "She always cries when she loses. Give her a while and she'll be back to her old self in no time".
Unfortunately, they didn't get a chance to wait. At that moment, an out of breath Marina ran into Pokémon Center and made her way over to the both of them.
"There you are, Brighton," she said. "I need your help immediately".
"What happened?" Brighton asked.
"I was at the Dreamyard and had just captured a Munna when I had a problem. A bunch of weird people in blue robes appeared out of nowhere and stole the Pokéball that had Munna in it. I tried to get it back, but a man in a leather jacket stopped me before I had a chance".
"What Pokémon did he have?" Jack asked.
"A giant robot and a spider of some sorts," Marina said. "My Pokémon couldn't stand a chance".
Without missing a beat, Brighton, Jack, and Zoroark left the Pokémon Center, Marina following right behind them. Using a shortcut Jack had discovered when he first came to Striaton city, they managed to reach the Dreamyard in a few minutes. However, as Marina had said, the place was crawling with blue robed grunts surrounded by Woobat. Standing in the center of the group, being guarded by the robot and spider Marina had mentioned, was a sallow skinned man with dark sunglasses wearing a leather overcoat. The first thing Marina did was taking out her Pokédex and pointing it at the two Pokémon.
'Golurk, the Automaton Pokémon. It is believed that Golurk was created in ancient times to protect the ancient city that made it.'
'Galvantula, the Elespider Pokémon, and the evolved form of Joltik. It ensnares it prey in electrically charged webbing before consuming it.'
"Well, look who decided to show up," the man said. "I must say that with your reputation to protect your team, I'd expect you to have gotten here a little… sooner".
"Cut the small talk you crook," Brighton said. "What are you doing to my Pokémon?"
"And what are you doing to my Munna?" Marina added.
"Now that's a little cold for you, don't you think?" The man said." Here, take your pathetic Munna back. We have no time for weaklings like that".
The man took out a Pokéball and tossed it over to Marina. She instinctively caught it and quickly attached it to her belt.
"However, I have no intention of giving these two back," the man said. "They are too valuable to our plans for you to take back. Golurk… Galvantula… get rid of them".
Galvantula moved first by launching a Thunderbolt at them. They quickly dodged the attack and Zoroark launched a Focus Blast at them. Golurk quickly countered by using Stone Edge, destroying the attack before it could even get close. Deciding to try a ranged approach, Brighton called out Samurott and tried using Hydro Cannon, but Galvantula sent out another Thunderbolt and destroyed that attack
"This isn't working," Jack said. "We have to get up close".
"We can't," Marina said. "Golurk has the Iron Fist ability. That means if we tried to get up close, it would just use a punch attack and we'd be done for".
"Then how do we defeat them?" Jack asked. "The only way to stop them them is by destroying those harnesses, and if we can't get close enough to hit them, then there's no way we can win".
"There might be a way," Brighton said. "Do any of your Pokémon know Trick Room?"
"Yeah… why do you ask?" Jack asked.
"Bring it out," Brighton instructed.
"If you say so." Jack said, pulling out a Pokéball of his own. "Cofagrigus come out and use Trick Room!"
A golden sarcophagus with shadowy hands appeared out of the Pokéball. In a flash, its eyes glowed blue, and a clear cube surrounded all the Pokémon that were on the field.
"Marina, have two of your Pokémon attack the harnesses," Brighton instructed.
"Without a word, Marina called out Snivy and a Pansear and had them use Leaf Tornado and Incinerate. The two attacks, combined with Trick Room giving them the early attack, were powerful enough to knock the harnesses of both of them, returning them to their senses.
"Impressive," the man said. "It seems I underestimated you. However, don't think this will be the last time you deal with me. You'll know the true terror of Neo Team Plasma soon enough".
With that, the Woobat began using Gust to whip up a strong wind. When it died down, the man and the grunts were gone. All that was left was a small business card, which Marina picked up.
"X, VP of Company affairs," she read. "Why does that name seem familiar?"
"I'm not sure, but something about this seems suspicious," Brighton said.
"What's that on the ground?" Marina asked.
Looking at the ground, the group said two Pokéballs lying where parts of the harnesses were.
"I'd say they're Golurk and Galvantula's Pokéballs," Jack said.
Hesitantly, Brighton walked over and picked up the Pokéballs and pointed them at the Pokémon. Pressing the center button on each, Brighton made both Pokémon returned to their respective Pokéballs. Satisfied, the group headed back toward the city, Brighton and Zoroark lagging behind.
"Well one thing's for certain: we managed to get two members of our team back," Zoroark said.
"Yeah," Brighton sighed.
"You still don't believe you're from this world, do you?" Zoroark asked.
"Not really," Brighton said. "This is all getting too complicated. I don't know if I'll be able to handle this".
"Well no matter what happens, I'll be there for you, Brighton," Zoroark said.
Hmm… a boss in the new Team Plasma. This makes things a whole lot more interesting.
