Somewhere in a secluded mountainous area,
A man in a brown safety suit whipped out a cell phone from his side pocket. He dialed the seven secured private numbers 75643 and pressed the green button. Then, he waited.
Hundreds of miles away on a huge ship, a phone vibrated silently. Another man picked it up.
"Yes, commander?" said the second man gruffly, only one person could have dialed this number--Commander Dreffag.
"Director, we found the shrine. It's at the center of Mount Tridruik," said Commander Dreffag.
"What?" said the director.
"We found the shrine. It's at the center of Mount. Tridruik," repeated the commander.
"For real?"
"Yes," said Dreffag impatiently.
"Has your team reached it?"
"Yes."
"Alright, commander. You are to secure the perimeter around it and make sure no one, and I repeat, no one is to go in until I arrive. Is that clear, commander?"
"Yes, sir," said the commander dully.
Without warning, the director shut the phone. Commander Dreffag clenched his teeth.
Patience, Frag, patience, thought Dreffag, a few more minutes and the whole Team Galaxy will be mine! He walked into the tunnel leading to the shrine.

Ash, Dawn, and Brock walked to the "Battle Room" indicated on Dawn's Poketch.
Ash noticed the walls all had stripes of shimmering crystals on the walls, giving off fluorescent light. Must be the crystal receptors, thought Ash.
A few minutes later, they reached a huge semicircular door. They walked inside to find many young trainers chatting and resting. They walked to the reception counter.
"Hello, I'm Mara and I am your assistant today. How may I help you?" asked the woman at the counter.
"Can you please explain the Battle Room to us?" asked Dawn.
"Dawn, It's the Battle Room. It's a place for us to battle," said Ash.
"What about the types of battling, like do they allow tag battles or single battles?"
"Oh."
"Continue please," She turned back to the woman.
"Sure. The Battle Room is a place for young trainers across the city to pit their pokemon against each other. There are two choices, single battle and tag battle. The trainers are matched together randomly. You may only bring three pokemon into single battles and tag battles. Do you need anymore help?"
"Yeah. Where do you sign up?" asked Ash. Idiot, thought Dawn, we are at the reception counter.

Mara led the trio through the door behind the counter. Behind the door was an enormous dome-shaped room where hundreds of trainers were battling each other. Ash, Dawn, and Brock looked on in wonder.
Mara beckoned them to continue following her. She brought the gang into another room where many people waited patiently while sitting on metal seats.
"Please wait in this room while the computer matches you up. The next match-up is exactly three minutes from now. Have a nice day." And having said that, she walked away.
"Three minutes to my first battle here! Oh yeah!" said Ash.
"It's just like a contest, isn't it? The waiting, the appealing, and the battling," Dawn sighed happily.
"Yeah, I wonder what Pokemon they use here? Hoenn or Kanto or Johto?" mused Brock.
"Oh come on, no matter which Pokemon do they use, Pikachu and I will still work hard to win. Right, Pikachu?"
"Pika!!" replied the enthusiastic electric mouse. Brock smiled.
Moments later, Ash was paired up with a red-headed girl, Dawn with a raven-haired boy, while Brock was thankfully paired up with another man, or they would have had to endure the embarrassing words Brock would have said towards the woman.

"Go, Onix!" said the redhead as she threw a Pokeball upwards. An Onix came out.
'Onix, eh?' thought Ash.
"Go, Torterra!" Ash also threw a Pokeball skywards.
The girl watched in amazement as Torterra came out. It was obvious that she had not seen the continent Pokemon before. She took out her Pokedex but it showed nothing about Torterra. Frowning, she asked Onix to use Slam on Torterra.
"Torterra, dodge and use Leech Seed!" commanded Ash. Seeded sprouted from Torterra's back and landed on Onix. Onix started to thrash around wildly as Leech Seed took effect.
"Onix! Use Body Slam!" Onix hurled itself at Torterra.
"Torterra, Leaf Storm!" Leaves began to swirl around Torterra. Seconds later Onix was thrown aside by the Leaf Storm.
Leech Seed took effect again and Onix thrashed around the field.
"Torterra, finish it with Energy Ball!" The tree on Torterra's back glowed green and a ball of energy formed in Torterra's mouth. It struck Onix. Onix was knocked over. It fainted.
"Onix is unable to battle! Ash wins!"
The redhead immediately returned Onix back to its Pokeball for a good rest and sent out an Exploud. The Exploud roared loudly.
"Torterra, use Leech Seed again!"
"Supersonic, Exploud!" A wave of bizarre sounds filled the field. Torterra became confused and started to sway around dizzily. It shot the seeds towards the ground instead.
"Hyper beam, let's go!" Exploud shot a jet of pure energy towards Torterra. Torterra, being confused, did not dodge. It was a direct hit. Torterra fainted.
"Torterra is unable to battle. Carla wins!" shouted the judge.
"You've done great, Torterra. Now, rest." Torterra was returned back to its Pokeball.
That's one strong Pokemon, thought Ash.
"Go! Infernape!"
The girl frowned again.
"Infernape, use Focus Blast!" A blast of energy forced its way to Exploud. Exploud still stood there, immobilized. It was knocked backwards.
"Use Brick Break!" Infernape rushed forwards with its hand glowing and hit Exploud on its head. Exploud did not have a chance. It subsequently fainted.
"Exploud is unable to battle! Ash wins!"
"Go! Misdreavus!" The screech Pokemon came out.
"Infernape! Use Flare Blitz!" The raging fire hit Misdreavus. Carla smiled.
"Misdreavus! Use Pain Split and Perish Song!" Misdreavus leveled its health with Infernape before a horrible and high-pitched song filled the field.
"Oh no! It's the Perish Song! Infernape will faint after three turns!" Ash muttered to himself, "I have to finish this off quickly."
"Shadow Claw, Infernape!" Infernape's hands began to glow as it rushed through the field.
"Psybeam!"
"Dodge!"
Infernape's hand hit clawed Misdreavus's transparent body.
"Finish it with Flame Blitz!" Misdreavus fainted as it took the attack.
"Misdreavus is unable to battle! Carla does not have anymore usable pokemon! Ash is the winner of this battle!" announced the judge.
Ash did a victory jig with Infernape. Carla walked forward to Ash.
"Great battle, Ash! May I ask where do your Pokemon come from?"
"The Sinnoh region, outside Hoenn."
She frowned a little. "I do believe my father told me about it, once,"
"Who's your father?"
"Jarlo."
"You're Jarlo's daughter? Nice to meet you." She smiled. "What about I introduce you to my other friends?" said Ash.
"Uh, okay, I think."
"Come on, then." They both walked to the reception counter where Dawn and Brock were waiting for him.
