The group were walking when all of a sudden Clair stopped and faced the group. "Everyone, this is Blackthorn city, mine and Lance's Hometown. Lovely scenery, don't you all agree?" Clair exclaimed as she walked towards the Blackthorn City Gym. Gibson looked around in amazement and wandered around the city. Suddenly, when Gibson realized that he was all alone and that he had wandered off, he turned around and was about to return to the Gym when a hand covered his mouth and dragged him into a nearby alleyway.
Bugsy looked around and realized that Gibson was missing and called for him. This caught everyone else's attention and then all of them were calling him. "He's probably lost, let's look for him." Said Jasmine as she tried to look calm. Clair stared at Jasmine with a smile and gave her a nod of agreement.
Gibson looked up at the dark figure to see that his hairstyle was the same as Proton's. He suddenly looked confused as he wondered why Proton would drag him into an alleyway without telling him. "Proton, is that you? Why are you doing this? Have I done something? Maybe you were just pretending to be my friend."
Gibson was about to say one more thing when the dark figure spoke in a venomous and sinister voice. "I do not know anyone by the name of Proton; my name is Saturn and I am the top commander of team Galactic."
Gibson was shocked at this point and continued his line of questions. "Who is Team Galactic? Why are you kidnapping me like this? What do you want with me?" Gibson couldn't say anymore as Saturn threw Gibson against the wall and slapped him hard in the face, causing a bruise to appear. Gibson looked upset and looked down. Saturn answered his questions for the final time. "Team Galactic are now the most notorious gang in the universe. Our goal is to control this entire universe and make it into our own world. The reason we want you is because you're a new trainer, yet you already know how to fight and you're really strong. Also, the Hyperforce are our enemies as well as Skeleton king. We want to be the ONLY evil in the universe. We believe that you can help us destroy them, you know their weaknesses Gibson."
Gibson showed a face of anger as he started to argue against Saturn. "I may hate my old family but I will never help the dark side." Saturn retaliated against Gibson once again. "You're helping Team Rocket. Explain that please."
Gibson looked down and spoke once more. "They were nice to me so I was nice to them, I didn't help them."
Saturn stood up and grabbed Gibson's arm. "I will take my leave, next time we meet, you WILL be ours Gibson. There's no escape." Following that comment Saturn jumped up into the air and disappeared.
Gibson looked up for a moment before walking out of the alleyway. Suddenly Gibson was ambushed by all of his friends who were crying in joy. "Gibson where were you? We were so worried!" Shouted Erika as she hugged Gibson, who at this point thought that he should keep the incident that had just occurred a secret; he wanted to tell them but he wanted to not worry about him. "Sorry, I got lost and stumbled into the alleyway." Gibson lied as he tried not to scare them too much, unfortunately for Gibson, Sabrina noticed that his face was bruised and questioned him. "Why is your face bruised? Did something happen to you Gibson?"
Gibson mentally panicked as he tried to find an answer. "I-I-I fell over in the alleyway…sorry; I'm a total idiot." Gibson said as he tried to laugh it off. Sabrina was not fooled by this answer and demanded the truth. "What happened Gibson? I know that you're lying to me!" Sabrina demanded as Gibson looked down. "Ok, I'll tell you the truth. Someone dragged me into the alleyway. He had the same hairstyle as Proton but he revealed himself to be Saturn, the top commander of Team Galactic. Apparently they want to control this universe and make it into their own desire. They want me on their side because according to them, I'm a really strong trainer, and that I can be useful to them. They want me to reveal your weaknesses so that they can destroy you for good. Saturn told me that next time we meet, he'll kidnap me and brainwash me." Gibson said as he refused to look at the group, knowing that their faces were full of shock and worry.
Clair looked at Gibson and smiled. "Let's get your Pokémon and train you because I've heard that team Galactic are really notorious, not a group that people should mess with." Clair said as she walked into the Gym once again. Gibson followed her while the rest stayed outside. Gibson felt like he was walking for hours until Clair finally stopped at this wall. Gibson got confused at this point because it looked like a dead end, until Clair spoke to Gibson. "I stand here to battle Pokémon trainers, but behind this wall, are my Pokémon family. Wait here for one minute please Gibson. I'll surprise you." Gibson followed Clair's orders and waited outside patiently while she opened the wall-which was really a door-and entered, closing the door behind her. Gibson waited and waited until she finally came out with 3 Poke balls in her hand. "Give me 3 ultra balls please Gibson." Clair demanded politely as Gibson took 3 ultra balls from his pocket and handed them over to Clair. In return, Clair handed the 3 poke balls to Gibson. "In these are 3 Pokémon, Dratini, Dragonair and Dragonite." Clair said as Gibson put the Poke balls in his pocket.
He kept frowning due to the fact that team Galactic were after him now; he really didn't know what to do anymore. "When does training start?" Wondered Gibson as he looked around the gym. "We shall start in 2 days. Tomorrow is just pure rest and relaxing our bodies." Clair put her hand on Gibson's shoulder and called the group. "Everyone, we're all going to go home and rest, we'll be out in a moment." Clair walked outside with Gibson.
Clair smiled at the group who was confused as to why she smiled. "I'm having a sleepover. I will take 3 boys and 3 girls. Red, you pick." Red smiled and replied to her comment after a moment of thinking. "Ok, the boys will be: Lance, Silver and Proton. The girls will be: Lyra, Ariana and Jasmine."
They all agreed and the chosen 6 returned to the gym with Clair and Gibson, while the others went home. What they didn't know was 3 certain spies were in the shadows, watching their every move. "Are you sure he can help us Saturn. He looks…weird." Said a dark female who had Red hair. "Weird or Not Mars, I'm positive that he is the chosen one for us. Luckily that fool chose Ariana to have a sleepover. Mars, you will capture Ariana and take her place. Make sure that you get Gibson out of there sneakily, do NOT get caught ok?" Commanded Saturn as he stared at her. "No Saturn, I will NOT fail you. You want him…you got him!"
"Make sure of it…"
