"Alright, you should be safe here…" Zekrom said.
"Zekrom… Besides that, what other names do they call you?" Igor said.
"Look at that plate." Zekrom said, then Viktor examined the white plate, and there is a name on it.
"David? Is that what they call you?" Viktor said.
"Yes, almost every one of my followers in the other world call me that, also, I do have a gender, which is male." He said
"Thanks for the info…" Viktor said.
"Well, I got to go, cloak the plate with aura if you need to go somewhere." Zekrom levitates and disappears.
"Well, look what have we done, we went to Minneapolis in hope to find a thriving city, and what is there is a pile of rubbish, and my car was destroyed for nothing." Igor summed up.
"Don't worry; I'm sure we can find an alternative… Just let this city to be our checkpoint." Viktor said.
"Well, it is only 3 PM, what do you want to do, it your choice, blonde guy." Igor said
"Well, we can spend some time in the bowling alley, which is right next to us." Viktor said.
"Sure…"
The two walked into the bowling alley, the bartender they have met previously is still there. The two were thirsty, so they returned to the bar area.
"So… No luck?" The bartender came by.
"No luck… The city was destroyed." Viktor said.
"Very unfortunate… So, what do you two like to drink today?" Igor said.
"Seltzer water…" Viktor thought up randomly.
"Coffee…" Igor said weakly.
"Well, unusual choices there… That will be $1.45 please." The bartender said, and then Viktor paid the correct amount from his wallet. Then, the bartender gave the two their requested drinks.
"Enjoy… Feel free to stay for a while." The bartender said as he went to another customer.
Viktor sighs "Why… I think this is it…" he said.
"Maybe we have to stay here forever… I mean the rocket HQ is still unknown, it's ridiculous, also, the military is not doing anything to stop it." Igor said.
"Probably America is screwed." Viktor said, and then a roll of newspaper was placed on the table in front of Viktor.
"50% conquered…" the headline said. There is a picture that shows a map of America, and shades in the devastated areas. The farthest they have reached as of now is Denver.
"Boy… What a drag this is…" Igor said as he takes a sip.
"What about this, we'll find a hotel… any hotel Such as Hyatt or Comfort Inn…" Viktor said
"Sounds peachy." Igor said as he chucks the glass bottle into the garbage can. He seemed to be still depressed.
"Hey, How 'bout a quick game?" Viktor tempted.
"Alright, Me versus you, let's go!" Igor snapped out of his depression.
Several games later…
"Some stiff competition…" Viktor and Igor walked out of the alley after paying the chap at the cashier the money.
"Now… Where to?" Igor asked.
"To some random hotel to stay the night." Igor said.
"Right…" Igor said as they ran off to find a hotel.
…
After one hour of checking in for a night at a Hyatt hotel…
"Alright, you can place your stuff and meet be in the back field." Viktor said and left. Igor threw the suitcase on the bed and left with the door closed. Ten they gathered in a large field about two blocks away with the plate David gave them.
"Let's test it." Igor said.
"Alright." Viktor said as he held the plate and cloaked it with his aura, but nothing happened.
"So David cheated us, and trolled us?" Igor wondered as he stared up to the sky.
"Probably…" Viktor was about to throw the plate on the ground, before he did, David/Zekrom appeared with a flash and landed on the ground.
"What do you two want?" He said.
"Well… We were just testing this plate… We don't need anything." Igor said.
"Oh boy, Arceus's other servants would be pissed if they are called for no reason, since I'm nice, I am going to let you two go." He said.
"Well, we apologize." The both said.
"Oh! I do have a reason, and I almost forgot. I had a time to browse America and I found the main headquarters, here is a flash drive." David hands Viktor a small flash drive, and Viktor takes it.
"What does it contain?" Igor said.
"It contains the complete diagram of the base, and every floor. I hope you have Autodesk inventor installed." David said.
"I do, thanks for reminding." Viktor said.
"Alright, if you do have anything, just do the exact same thing to the plate. I bid you adieu, and Godspeed." David rises up and disappears in a flash.
"Let's run back to our hotel room." Viktor said. Then, the two ran back to the hotel.
…
Once they got into the hotel room, Viktor grabbed the suitcase and got his IBM ThinkPad out.
"Dude, this computer look old…" Igor said.
"My mother got this for me in 2002, the best thing about this is that, I dropped this computer on the ground five times on accident, and yet it still works, gotta credit IBM for durability." Viktor said as he presses the power button, the computer won't turn on.
"Oh shit, the batteries are dead. Ah! I forgot to shut it off before we left our houses…" Viktor said.
"So we are screwed?" Igor concerned.
"No, fortunately, I have this charger!" Viktor pulled out the computer charger and plugged it into the socket in the wall and in the laptop. Then, the power button is pressed.
"Hurray, it works." Igor said. Then, the Windows XP boot screen came up.
"Dude, this is 2012, and you are still using XP?" Igor said.
"So? My dad back in Russia still uses Win98." Viktor said as the Welcome screen in Russian appeared. Then his desktop appeared, and it was completely in Russian, which is a language that Igor has no understanding of.
"Yeah… Fuck it. I'll leave it up to you… I can't read nor speak Russian." Igor said as Viktor shoved the USB drive into the socket.
"Whoa… look at these…" Viktor said as he witness bunches of text documents.
"Open one up." Igor said. Viktor clicked on a random .doc file and then, Microsoft Word popped up.
David, you have been assigned to work on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at your power plant. Just get the electricity capacity above 95% for the city. I expect you to accomplish this by Wednesday 10:00 PM Sharp. Reply back to me with a picture of the HUD (Heads-up display) once you are done. –Arceus. 07-20-2012
"That's his mail! Why are we looking at his private stuff…?" Viktor closed the Microsoft Word window and scrolled down the list of his E-mails.
"Alright, I found this Autodesk file." Igor double clicked it, and a paid version of Autodesk Inventor popped up its loading screen.
"Wait, you PAID for this? Why not torrent it on PirateBay?" Igor said.
"First of all, I take Torrents as illegal, and second my mom got this without notifying me. My mom is an architect, and she specializes in computer aided drafting, or CAD. She needed this software to do her work." Viktor said.
"Wow, you are just lame…" Igor said as a diagram popped up. Then, Outlook popped up with an attached letter from David.
"I went browsing and found a lone USB stick on the sandy grounds; it had the word ROCKET on it. So I decided to run it on my computer, and it showed the diagram of every floor. The master control room is way at the bottom, which are 9 floors down. There are traps though, but they are all isolated at the entrance, not underground. Hope you two can make use of it. Also, don't read my embarrassing E-mails in the flash drive, please. I just forgot to delete them off of the drive. :)" – David/Zekrom
Viktor closed the Outlook window and placed the Inventor window Full screen, showing floor plans to scale of the HQ.
"Wait! There is a reason why there is no military response!" Viktor said as he saw the floor plans for floors B2 to B8.
"What?" Igor tilted his head towards the screen.
"This…" Viktor pointed.
"Look, it is labeled SOLDIER PRISION, so they captured and imprisoned all military personnel!" Igor said.
"So… There is a label up there that says AREA 51… What could that be…?" Igor wondered.
"Area 51… Wait… That is the private military base just north of Las Vegas!" Viktor said.
"Geoffrey Hudson… He's that son-of-a-bitch who owns this map…" Igor reads the map description.
"Wow… This place got 30 floors total…" Viktor said as he flips through every floor in detail.
"So the rest of the floors are Pokémon prisons." Viktor said.
"Dude, stop stabbing me with your spike on the back of your paw!" Viktor said.
"What? I was trying to give you a massage!" Igor said.
"Yeah bullshit." Viktor said.
