Chapters eleven and twelve act as a part one and a part two, but with different names to match the relevance of the chapter. They also sounded cool.:D
It was sometime around one in the morning when I reawakened and got ready for the mission. I woke everyone up, returned them to their pokéballs, and me and Mesprit left the hotel unnoticed. The night was cold and windy, and even with my coat on, I was freezing. We walked back to the blue building and went around the back to the loading dock. We hid behind some crates like the previous afternoon.
"Okay so how does this invisibility thing work, Mesprit?" I asked.
"It's simple," She changed back into her pokémon form, and then disappeared into the night air.
"Mesprit?"
'I'm still here,' She tugged my arm, and revealed herself. 'Now we're both invisible.'
"Nothing happened."
Two guys were approaching. She urged me to follow her out into their path. I trusted her, and followed. Nothing happened. They harmlessly walked past us.
"Okay, you've convinced me," I whispered. "Let's get inside."
The door on the loading dock had been left half open, probably for some midnight 'deliveries'. We slipped under it, and got inside. To the far left there was an elevator, a set of stairs leading downwards, and in front of me there was another door, some sort of scanner next to it. I could've taken the elevator, but that would've attracted too much attention.
"The stairs it is," I said.
We walked down six flights of stairs, to hallway lit well by fluorescent lights. The building may have looked simple on the outside, but underground was a labyrinth of hallways and rooms, most likely leading further beneath the city. This would've made kidnapping all too easy in Eterna.
'Calvin, where do you think they are?' Mesprit asked.
"I'm not sure, we may have to go down some more."
I walked past a window. There was a large open space behind it. When I looked down, there was a pokémon arena. "Interesting."
Three of those gray and black-suited men came out of the room up ahead, carrying the teenager I saw earlier. We moved out of the way so that they could pass, and they made their way back towards the stairs. Even though they couldn't see us, Mesprit felt uneasy being in their presence.
"They look like they know," I whispered. "Let's follow them."
We followed them down five more flights of stairs to a level not as well lit as the other. This gave off a green light for the holding cells.
"Put him in here," One guy said. Another pulled out a card and swiped it in the scanner next to the door. I'd probably need that.
"Let me go!" A young female voice yelled. What sounded like chain links started clinking in the process.
There were sounds of a fight. The other two guys ran in to help the other. There was a scream, and then nothing else. I released Mismagius.
"Wait for it," I whispered.
The three men emerged, breathing heavily and now in shock that a Mismagius appeared in front of them.
"What the--"
"Hypnosis!"
Their eyes bulged, and then they collapsed, sound asleep. I pulled the card out of his hand, and swiped it in the scanner.
'Calvin, don't you think I should go in first?' Mesprit asked.
"Nonsense. They're just teenagers; this will only wake a second."
I walked into the room. There was no lighting in there.
"Hello?" I whispered. "Are you alright?"
There was a slight groan, and then what felt like a foot, hit me in the chest, propelling me backwards onto the ground in the hallway. I coughed.
'This will only take a second,' She said mockingly.
I got up, caught my breath, and brushed myself off. ''What the hell was that for? I'm trying to help you.''
"I don't trust any of you Galactic bastards!" Galactic? Oh....that would explain the letter "G" on these men's suits and on the front of the building up above and in Veilstone. Team Galactic, I'm guessing.
"I'm not one of these guys. I'm here to rescue you."
I walked back into the room. "Come on, it's okay."
"I don't trust you."
"Okay then, ask yourself this question," I said. "How many people have come by and said that they were rescuing you?"
There was a moment of silence, and then she grabbed my arm. This was becoming easier and easier.
"They brought someone else in here," She said. "A boy."
"Okay you go outside and wait in the hall, I'll look for him," I couldn't see, so instead I crouched and felt the ground. It took me a while, but I found him.
"Mismagius, lead her outside," She nodded. "Mesprit, can you take care of this guy?"
"Okay," She said. "You're going on?"
"Yeah, this is the floor. There are about sixteen more people missing, including these two. I'll send Staraptor, Millie, Electivire, and Typhlosion back with four each, and me and Gallade will look for Danielle," I released him.
'Be careful.'
"I will," We walked down the hallway.
