A/N: I know you've probably seen a trainer list like this somewhere before, but the list will help out as the final portion of the story begins! With so much battling, it will also help me sort things out. There's also a short side story right below the list. Read, review, and enjoy the story!

Interesting Investigation
Palkia obeyed Giovanni's command exactly. After letting out a huge roar, a sphere of Palkia's space powers was formed to keep the Sinjoh Ruin area away from outsiders.
"Now nothing will be able to enter, not even those aircraft!" Giovanni laughed.
"Great work, boss," Proton applauded.
"We'll have the world in our hands in no time!" Ariana said.
Outside the ruins, a few pilots were trying to make it to the area. But with Palkia's powers, they couldn't get anywhere.
"We've already passed by that same building seven times," one officer said.
"We should contact the police department for what we should do," another said. They were contacting each other while they were both piloting their aircraft.
The Officer Jenny in Blackthorn City responded to their call. "What's up?"
"We can't make it to the ruins," the first pilot said. "After passing through some fog, we just keep on pasing by the same building over and over again!"
The Blackthorn City Officer Jenny watched her map in disbelief. "This is bad news! Just tell you and the other pilots to land at that building you've been passing by!"
"Got it," the pilot responded. "Now that I look at it, it appears the building has a runway!"
The pilot told all the others to land at the building, and they landed safely on the runaway.
In total, there were eight planes in all, four from Sinnoh and four from Johto. Since they had nothing else to do, the eight pilots and officers decided to explore the building they landed in.
"It's deserted," one of them said. They were all examining the hangar.
"Wait, look what I found!" another called them over.
"What does it say?" one of the Johto officers asked.
"It says: TEAM ROCKET ICE PATH HEADQUARTERS," the Johto officer answered.
"I have a feeling that they were up to something here before going to the Sinjoh Ruins," the head Johto officer told them all. "Let's investigate this place!"
In the light of day, there were few problems when it came to looking around. Plus, all they had to do was turn on the lights.
A determined young man, Liam, was particularly intrigued with his surroundings. By his side was an Officer Jenny who was about the same age as Liam, who was also young for the job that he had. She was more bright cheery than others, but her brilliance and leadership skills clearly showed through her youth.
"So are you in charge of your officers?" Liam asked.
"For this investigation, yes," the officer answered with a smile. "There's an Officer Jenny I'm trying to be like an Officer Jenny called 'the wild one', but I'm just a regular Officer Jenny. That's why I have these glasses on, even if they're clear framed! To tell you the truth, I'm more mild than wild. If I could, then I would take my job in an easygoing way so I can have a clear mind when I arrest people."
"Guess that means I get to call you 'mild Jenny'!" Liam told her. "Or maybe I'll just call you Milda!"
"Haha, Milda sounds like a good nickname!" she replied. She had never met an officer so charmingly funny. Most people in the field were very strict and serious.
"And who might you be?" Milda asked Liam.
As they were walking down the hallway from the hangar, Liam and Milda found themselves chatting together behind the group. But Liam needed this to reveal his identity.
"I'm Liam of the International Police," Liam whispered innocently. "Please don't tell anyone!"
"What?! Really?" Milda yelled in shock.
"Everything okay back there?" the head Johto officer asked.
"What are you two doing?" another officer asked sternly.
"Uh, nothing!" they both said. Then they went back to talking together.
"Don't you think this business is a little too serious?" Milda asked, being the mild officer she was. "You'd think that they'd let us be more relaxed since there's no one here."
"Then again," Liam responded, "it's always better to be prepared for anything that might come! But you're right; I'd enjoy being able to kick back instead of standing at attention!"
The group of eight finally made it to a door.
"Should we enter the door?" the two Sinnoh officers asked Milda.
"Yes," Milda answered running back up to the front of the group. "Go ahead and enter."
All of them rushed into the room and turned on the lights to make sure no one was around.
"So this is their storage chamber, huh?" Liam stated. "I'm going to look around for some clues.
"Good idea," the other officers agreed.
"Everyone do what Liam is doing!" Milda commanded.
Of course, Milda rushed back to Liam's side while the other officers were off exploring the room.
"Hey there," Milda said to him, "did you find anything yet?"
"You won't believe it!" Liam said in shock. "Look at this!"
They were looking at five tall glass, cylindrical containers. Right beneath each one was a label and it caught their attention even more!
"Douse, Shock, Burn, Chill, and Rocket," Milda read while taking pictures. "What does this mean?"
"It's referring to the Pokemon Genesect that uses those types of drive," Liam replied. "How did Team Rocket get their hands on such strong Pokemon?"
The rest of the officers used specialized devices to record and analyze anything they found. Because she was more laid back, Milda used a personalized digital camera.
"Nice camera you got there," Liam commented.
"It's not what I'm supposed to be using, but thanks!" Milda thanked. "It's just that using this feels more comfortable."
"Are we all good with this room?" Milda asked the other officers.
"I think we're good," the head Johto officer said. "We even found a hole in the wall!"
There were many doors in the large room, but there was one door where light was shining the brightest; this door led immediately outside to the courtyard. They all walked outside to enjoy the cold snow under the bright sun.
"This must be the courtyard," Liam said, checking out the floor for possible evidence.
"Look at those hallways up there!" Milda pointed out.
"That must be the other part of the base," one of the Sinnoh officers stated.
In particular, the middle hallway was completely annihilated! The ceiling, walls, and ground were nothing but bare earth as if a meteor pulverized through it! Rubble, ashes, and building wreckage surrounded the section as it polluted the pure white snow. It was this that caught their attention the most.
"The middle hallway is almost completely destroyed!" Milda pointed out.
"What kind of move did that?!" Liam wondered. "Was that an Eruption attack?"
"Should we go check it out?" the head Johto officer asked.
"Good idea," Liam agreed.
"Let's go!" Milda directed.
The eight officers ran up to the demolished hallway. On the right side, they found the office of no other than the executive Ariana.
"Hey," one of Johto officers yelled, "I found a map of the base!"
"I found a staff list!" a Sinnoh officer also yelled.
Liam and Milda were examining Ariana's main desk together.
"Uh-oh," Milda gulped.
"What is it?" Liam asked.
"It's a Team Rocket blueprint!" Liam yelled. "It says there are bombs strapped on to the Genesect that can destroy an entire region!"
"What?!" the officers said in shock.
"Don't forget, they brought the Genesect to the Sinjoh Ruins!" Milda pointed out. "We should go check out the other executives' offices!"
"Good point," the head Johto officer agreed.
They walked out of the middle hallway and decided to check out the officer of the executive Petrel.
"Let's see what we can find here," Liam said while getting to work. After a minute or so, they discovered some intriguing information. Liam and Milda pulled out a long paper together from his desk with their four hands.
"It's an even bigger map!" Liam shouted.
"You mean we're that far from the Sinjoh Ruins?" Milda wondered.
The other officers also took a peek at the large map.
"Team Rocket had a camp set up next to the ruins called 'Camp Sinjoh'," the head Johto officer noticed. "That's something we didn't even know about!"
"So that means those powers are reaching out further than we thought!" a Johto officer commented.
"Now we should go to the third hallway!" Milda directed.
"Right," everyone agreed.
In the third hallway, they found out that the office belonged to the executive Proton.
"Look at this," Liam told Milda. "This blueprint says they can choose to use the bomb with its full energy or use just a little at a time."
"That makes sense since Team Rocket's goal is to conquer, not destroy," the head Johto officer said.
"It also says they brought the legendary Pokemon Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf out of their lakes using Arceus's powers!" Liam read off the paper.
"That explains why they were able to go undetected in the Sinnoh region," Milda figured out.
"Is that all of the offices?" the head Johto officer asked.
"Wait," one of the officers said. "There's still Archer, the head executive!"
"All right then, let's go!" Milda declared.
"Right," they all agreed.
To get to Archer's office, they first had to run back outside to the courtyard. After going up the stairs back to the storage chamber, the door was just on the left.
"You know what I noticed?" Liam pointed out. "The executives sleep very close to where they work!"
"You're right," Milda said with a smile. "You're very insightful, Liam!"
"Thanks Milda!" Liam smiled back.
"You won't believe this!" the head Johto officer said calling them over. "Come quick!"
"What is it?" they all asked.
"This booklet says there's an entire army of Pokemon hidden all around the Sinjoh Ruins!" the Johto officer answered. "Whoever's over there is in trouble!"
"They must have had this plan thought out," Milda mumbled.
"I'll go tell –"Liam started.
All of a sudden, ten Murkrow came out of nowhere and started attacking the group!
"What was that?!" Liam abruptly blurted.
"MURKROW!" they all squawked.
"I'll handle this," Milda declared. "Chatot, let's go!"
"A Chatot?" Liam asked.
"The 'wild Jenny' I know owns a Chatot!" Milda answered. At this time all ten Murkrow used Dark Pulse on Chatot.
"Dodge them all and then make an Air Cutter bowling ball to knock the pins down!" Milda commanded.
The attack was a success; all ten Murkrow got knocked out!
"Yes," Milda said, "we got a strike!"
"You act like you're bowling," one of the Johto officers commented.
"That's because the 'wild Jenny' I know loves bowling as well," Milda replied.
"I thought someone like you would be a mild battler," Liam told her.
"Mild?" Milda restated. "Compared to the wild Jenny, yes, I am very mild."
An even stronger Pokemon came out of the shadows to attack them: Honchkrow. The infuriated Honchkrow launched a powerful Shadow Ball at them!
"Use Chatter to stop the attack!" Milda directed her Pokemon.
"Wow, Chatot's voice is powerful!" the head Johto officer complimented.
"Wait until you see this!" Milda exclaimed. "Finish it off with Boomburst!"
The mighty Boomburst attack shattered the air and dealt a tremendous blow of great force on Honchkrow! Honchkrow was immediately done for!
"Great job, Milda!" Liam said in awe. "But I still wonder why they're attacking us…"
Just then, a loud, heavy thump could be heard. It was an extremely powerful Exploud, and it was not happy! The Exploud fired a Focus Blast directly at Chatot!
"Counter it with Air Cutter!" Milda yelled. "Then use Chatter!"
Unfortunately, the Chatter had zero effect. Exploud proceeded to use Surf on Chatot in the air!
"Fly higher to avoid the attack!" Milda said. "Then try using Boomburst!"
Even with the powerful Boomburst, the move did nothing to harm Exploud!
"Why isn't it working?" Milda grumbled.
"Exploud has the ability Soundproof!" Liam explained. "Sound moves won't do anything!"
Exploud fired off a Boomburst of its own!
"Look out Chatot!" Milda cried.
But it was too late; Chatot was already too weak to battle.
"Return Chatot," Milda sighed.
"Don't worry, Milda, we'll win for you!" Liam comforted her. "Go Foongus!"
"Foongus!" Foongus uttered.
Exploud started out with another Focus Blast. "Foogus, use Double Team to dodge them all! Then use Energy Ball!"
All the Energy Balls landed a direct hit on Exploud, causing it to become very mad! It blasted it back with a Boomburst to hit them all!
"Don't give up!" Liam encouraged his Pokemon. "Get in there and use Giga Drain to heal yourself!"
Exploud was getting drained, but there was one move that they didn't know about. From point blank range, Exploud unleashed a blazing Flamethrower attack! Foongus became very weak.
"You can do it Foongus!" Milda told Liam's Pokemon.
"Come on Foongus, we have to win!" Liam desperately called out.
Because of their support, Foongus started evolving! Lia's Amoonguss was more powerful than ever now!
"Great, you evolved into Amoonguss!" Liam said. Use "Double Team and then use Spore!"
"Wow, Liam is so amazing!" Milda cheered while admiring him.
Exploud immediately fell asleep. "Use Giga Drain!" Liam commanded.
"Now that Exploud is asleep and very weak, what are you going to do now?" Milda asked.
"I'm going to catch this wild Exploud!" Liam answered. "Pokeball, go!"
After three shakes, the ball safely captured the Exploud. Liam sent it out immediately after, and by then it was already awake. The Honchkrow and Murkrow also weren't mad at them anymore.
"What was going on with the Pokemon?" the head Johto officer asked.
"Exploud and the others had no idea what they were doing," Liam responded. "They realized Team Rocket was no longer in the building after we knocked them out, so maybe that's why they stopped.
"Do you think Team Rocket could be part of it?" a Johto officer inquired.
"Absolutely," Milda replied.
They all ran back outside to the courtyard where Liam's Mandibuzz returned. He had previously sent his flying Pokemon out to find anything interesting.
"What did you find, Mandibuzz?" Liam asked.
Inside Mandibuzz's beak was a large blanket.
"Who could this belong to?" Liam wondered. He decided to climb a nearby ladder. At the top, he used his binoculars, and sure enough, he found something interesting.
"What do you see?" Milda asked Liam from below.
"I see a van in front of the fence!" Liam answered. "I think they used it so they could intrude the base!"
After dropping down, Liam took out his tablet. "Now it's time to give the details to Looker. He's our only hope and we need to warn him about what could happen."
Back in the Sinjoh Ruins, Serena was chatting with Drew, Kenny, and the others when she suddenly got a message. All of the others had gone off to try to fight Team Rocket.
"Who's Liam?" Serena wondered. "And what does the message say?"
She put the call on hold and read Liam's message out loud.
"Hey Looker, it's me, Liam, and I'm here investigating Team Rocket's Ice Path Headquarters. The first thing I need to warn you about is the Genesect; we learned that the Genesect have bombs in them that can destroy an entire region! We saw how powerful Arceus was and that they used Arceus to go unnoticed when taking the lake trio out. But most of all, there's an entire army of Pokemon that can ambush you guys at any time! Since you're the only International Police member out there, we're all counting on you to get the job done! Please do your best out there and stay safe. -Liam"
"Uh-oh!" Serena gulped. "I've got to warn them!"
The battle to save the Pokemon world will begin! Will Team Pikachu be able to stop Team Rocket before the portals are made? Find out on the next exciting chapter of Saving Pikachu!
"I wonder why Serena put the call on hold…" Drew wondered. "Whatever it is, I hope that they can stop Team Rocket!"
"It appears their device has a messaging application running," Conway informed them. "She might have received something important."
"It's sad that Serena's the one we have to talk to the rest of the time," Kenny stated. "If only we could watch the rest of them…"
"Serena isn't too bad, come on," Clair told them.
"She doesn't compare!" Drew, Kenny, and Conway protested.
Just then, Serena returned to the call.
"Guys, I have some very bad news," Serena started.
To be continued…
