A/N: Hello to all, I am back with the next chapter of "Pokemon Origins: Gold and Silver". Starting in August, I'll be starting a sequel to my story "Pokemon Origins: Orange Islands" (my own sequel to the actually Pokemon Origins) which covers the events of the Sevii Islands in FireRed and LeafGreen. Anyway, in this chapter Ethan battles the Team Rocket Executives.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon
Ethan took the key card and quickly ran to the Pokemon Center to heal his Pokemon. He then returned and raced up to finally put an end to Team Rocket. He reached the Third Floor and used the key card to get access to a staircase that would lead him to the next floor. However, he was quickly cut off by a Rocket grunt.
"Why did the shutter open? Did you have something to do with this?" asked the grunt.
"I'm going to stop you." answered Ethan.

The Director dug into his shirt pocket.
"I know it's not much, but please take this." said the Director.
The Director handed the Rainbow Wing to Ethan.
"There used to be a tower in Goldenrod City. But it was old and creaky. So we replaced it with our radio tower. During the tear down, we found this at the top. I heard the giant Pokemon used to fly over Goldenrod in the past. Maybe that fell off a Pokemon. Maybe like the one that appears at Tin Tower in Ecruteak City." explained the Director.
Ethan looked at awe in the Rainbow Wing.
"Okay, I'll better go to my officer." said the Director.
The Director left and headed back downstairs. He found DJ Mary with her Meowth.
