A few hours after recruiting Boyd, Ash and company made it to Dure City where they met Edward who would guide them.

"Welcome to Dure City," welcomed Edward, " Let me guide you all around the place and I'll then identify where we believe the prison is."

After touring Dure City, the group went to a suspicious shed.

"I believe that shed is a Team Rocket base that is mainly used to deliver cargo to Team Rocket members all over Kanto," explained Edward, "And It should also be where Cilan, Chili and Cress are."

"How do we get in," asked Serena.

"I think I know," answered Boyd, "After that Team Rocket woman was defeated and captured, she dropped what I think is a Team Rocket I'D." "Maybe I can use it to open the entrance."

"That should work," said Jessie who remembered doing similar things with her own I'D when she was in Team Rocket.

"Well then," said Edward, "I'll return to the Gym while you take on the Team Rocket members in there and rescue your friends," and Edward then left.

"Right after Edward left, Boyd used the I'D on a scanner by the Shed's entrance and it opened.

"Be careful everyone," warned James, "Places like this are usually heavily guarded."

"It was just then, three Team Rocket grunts appeared and tried to stop the group.

"I'll hold them off," said Wilda who then sent out a Sigilyph and started to battle the three grunts while Ash, Serena, Jessie, James and Boyd all went to search for the prison.

Later, Ash and company moved stealthily by hiding behind crates to avoid more grunts until they found the prison and in it the three Striaton Gym Leaders.

"Ash," asked Cilan once he and his brothers noticed Ash and company, "What are you doing here?"

"We're here to rescue you," answered Ash while Boyd was using the ID to unlock the cell since it worked on those as well.

"Thank goodness," said Chili as the three brothers got out, "It's not really roomy in there for the three of us."

"We should get your Pokemon and get out of here," suggested Serena.

"If I recall correctly," said Cress, "Our Pokemon are in the office of the person who's in charge here." "I believe that person is away for now so we should go now," and everyone went to the office of one of the Lunar Trio.

After more sneaking, the group all went to the office and Cilan, Chili and Cress were about to get their Pokemon when someone came in and locked the door.

"So at long last, I'll have my revenge on you Cilan, said the mysterious person who was revealed to be Burgundy.

"Burgundy," said a surprised Cilan, "You're in Team Rocket?"

"Why would I not," answered Burgundy, "Some time ago, Giovanni learned about me and my skills as a trainer and connoisseurs and hired me into the organization as one of the newly formed Lunar Trio."

"You're one of the Lunar Trio," asked Ash.

"I am," answered Burgundy, "And for a good reason." "I used a clever plan to trap you by making you let your guards down by defeating weak grunts, then the other grunts let you to the prison and finally, I pretended to leave so you would come here for me to stop you."

"That plan may have been clever," said Serena, "But there is one problem with it."

"What's that," asked Burgundy.

Just then, Wilda broke through the door with her Sigilyph and entered after defeating several grunts.

"We didn't defeat the weak grunts," explained Serena, "Wilda was holding them off."

"You think this affects anything go Samurott," said Burgundy and a Samurott came out. "Use Hydro Pump and Samurott started to use Hydro Pump.

"Pansage use Bullet Seed," said Cilan as he sent out Pansage who then used Bullet Seed which stopped Hydro Pump.

"I'll get you some day," said Burgundy as she returned her Samurott and then abandoned the shed.

"That was close," said Cilan, "Now would you mind telling us what's going on Ash?"

Ash then told Cilan, Chili and Cress everything about Team Phantom and after hearing the story, the triplets decided to join.

An hour later, an Officer Jenny took away all of the Team Rocket grunts that Wilda defeated and then Meowth and Agatha arrived in a helicopter to pick up Cilan, Chili, Cress and Boyd.

"Good job with the first rescue," said Agatha, "And I also want to say very clever taking that I'D Boyd."

"Thanks maam," thanked Boyd.

"So who do we rescue next," asked Ash.

"Well before you rescue the others," explained Agatha, "I have a mission for you Serena, Cilan and Boyd."

"What is it," asked Serena.

"There's a place called the Bone Woods which is the home to several powerful Cubone and Marowak," explained Agatha, "And Team Rocket has attacked it several times." "I need some members of Team Phantom to stop these constant attacks and save the Cubone and Marowak."

"We'll do it," said Cilan.

"Good," said Agatha, "But first we must return to base so our new members can put on their outfits and then be able to teleport," and then the helicopter left for Headquarters with Meowth, Agatha, Cilan, Chili, Cress and Boyd riding on board while Ash, Serena, Jessie, James and Wilda all teleported back.
