On with the story
At Canalave city, Ken and the others were at a nearby park as Shirina is having a Pokémon Battle with a random trainer who called out an Aggron.
"go, Golurk! Dynamic Punch!" shouted Shirina with an angry face as her Golurk charges before sending its Dynamic Punch straight at the Aggron and sends it crashing to the ground.
"Aggron!" the Trainer screamed as the Aggron fell knocked out.
"winner, Shirina-san!" exclaimed Kenji, being the referee of the battle.
"who's next?!" barked Shirina as she glares at a group of trainers who were watching the battle before they all ran away with their Pokémon. Shirina growls like an angry Snubull as she looks around for any possible trainers she could challenge.
"wah…." Said Osamu with an awkward smile to see his sister getting angry.
"Shirina-san is letting out too much steam," said Miyuki who had Ralts sitting on her lap.
It's been an hour after the encounter with Tetsu and his son, Yuji. Shirina is angry because of how Yuji mocked her for being a girl who wants to obtain all Sinnoh Gym Badges and challenge the league. Now, she's venting up her anger in pokemon battle while Ken had gone with Tetsu to find Yuji.
"that girl" said Shirona who let out a disappointed sigh to see her daughter having such a tomboyish and unladylike personality.
"I'll battle her" said Akira as he stands up and calls out his Torterra. "I think I can calm her anger for at least an hour or so"
"me and Infernape can make it 2 hours" said Kirika while holding her Infernape's Pokeball in hand.
Akira went to the field with his Torterra as Shirina challenges the two.
"I wonder how long Papa and Tetsu-san will find Yuji-san?" asked Osamu to Shirona who shrugs her shoulders.
"it might be longer considering how Yuji-kun's personality is" replied Shirona to her son before they all watch the battle between Shirina's Golurk and Akira's Torterra.
At a fossil museum, Ken and Tetsu were walking around the many fossil exhibit as they were looking around for Yuji.
"if Yuji is anything like me, he'll go to the museum and check on the fossils," said Tetsu, knowing what his son likes to do.
"like father like son, huh?" said Ken before sighing a bit.
"what's wrong?" Tetsu asked Ken
"I can tell that my daughter is battling random trainer after trainer because of what your son said to her," said Ken as he rubs the bridge of his nose. "I can already imagine how many got scared of her"
"she has her mother's beauty and fiery fire, hehehehe" said Tetsu with a small laugh
"you have no idea" said Ken as his daughter can be a real pain sometimes.
The two looks around the museum before they find Yuji standing near an ancient tablet that was in a glass display.
"Yuji, you're here" said Tetsu as Yuji turns and sees his father with Ken.
"what? you're going to make me say sorry to her?" said Yuji before looking back at the tablet in the display. "sorry, but I'm not as soft as an Altaria's feathers"
"Yuji" said Tetsu with a stern look before he looks at Ken who placed a hand on the man's shoulder.
"let me handle this" whispered Ken before he went to Yuji while Ken looks at him.
"Yuji, you have all badges to enter the Sinnoh League, right?" asked Ken as Yuji nodded while glancing at him.
"yeah, what is it to you?" asked Yuji before seeing Ken holds up a Pokeball.
"how about a Battle?" said Ken with a smile "and if you win, I'll give you my title as the Unova Champion Master"
Back with Shirina and the others.
"Golurk, Gyrbo Ball!" said Shirina as her Golurks spins around and sends fury of its fists right at Kirika's Infernape that was sent flying in the air.
"Infernape!" exclaimed Kirika as her Pokémon fell to the ground and is knocked out.
"winner, Shirina-san!" said Kenji as Shirina won against Kirika and Akira.
"think that calm her down?" asked Akira as he walks towards Kirika who called back her Infernape before both of them looks at Shirina who let out a long sigh and then took a deep breath that she exhaled.
"probably" replied Kirika before both saw Ken with Tetsu coming in with Yuji behind them. "Aggghh!"
Shirina looks at them before blinking her eyes as she turns to look, but Kirika and Akira run in and both tied a blindfold around her eyes and plugged her ears with large earplugs.
"don't look or hear!" exclaimed Kirika because if Shirina sees the one who made her all angry and steamed up, their effort would just go to waste.
"push her there!" said Akira as the two started pushing Shirina away.
"hey! what's going on!? Why can't I see or hear anything!?" exclaimed Shirina while getting pushed away.
Ken and the others walked in as Shirona and the others met them.
"Things are a bit patched up?" asked Shirona to her husband.
"in a way" replied Ken before looking at Osamu and the others. "Osamu, all of you. I need to ask a favor from you all"
"us?" said Osamu as Ken nodded.
"I need you all to.." said Ken before he started whispering to them
A few minutes later, Ken and Yuji are now standing on the battlefield on their own sides while Shirona and the others watched them.
"hey! what's going on!?" said Shirina, still blindfolded and her ears plugged.
"nothing! Nothing at all!" said Kirika as she and Akira didn't want to handle an angry Shirina again.
"I wonder what Pokemons Yuji-san has with him" said Miyuki, curious to see what the young man's Pokemons are.
"I'm curious too, but why are they battling right now?" asked Shirona as she was confused about what is going on before a Pokémon League Referee came in.
"is this the place where the Pokémon Battle of the Unova Champion Master, Ken against the challenger, Yuji?" asked the referee as everyone nodded?
The man nodded before he took out his whistle and blows it hard, swarms of Magnemite and Magnezone flies in, all wearing portable version of a recording booth.
"what is going on here?" asked Osamu, seeing the cameras that some Magnemites had with them.
"This shall be a six on six Pokémon Battle! both may have substitutions in the battle! The battle will be over when all six Pokémon are unable to battle from both sides! Is the Champion and the Challenger ready!?" announced the referee as both Ken and Yuji took out a Pokeball before both nodded. "release your Pokemons!"
"Abomasnow!" "Metang!" both Ken and Yuji threw out their Pokeballs and came out their Pokemons.
"Abomasnow!" Abomasnow let out a loud cry before a blizzard covered the field.
"wow! What the heck!?" said Minny, surprised to see the sudden blizzard.
"it's Abomasnow's Snow Warning, Abomasnow can cover anything in a thick coat of snow" said Tetsu, explaining his son's Pokémon's special skill.
"it suddenly became cold!" exclaimed Shirina as she tried taking off her blindfolds but Kirika and Akira didn't let her.
"Abomasnow.." said Osamu as he is checking Abomasnow's data on his Pokedex.
Abomasnow, the Frost Tree Pokémon. Abomasnow live quietly on mountains where it always snows. They make blizzards for camouflage.
"since when did Ken got a Metang?" said Shirona as she had seen all of her husband's Pokémon and never once had she see him having a Metang before. "wait a minute, is that Metang..."
"let the battle begin!" announced the referee as he waves his hands down.
"Abomasnow! Blizzard!" said Yuji as his Abomasnow let out a cry before a storm of snow came at Metang.
"Metang, Psychic" said Ken as Metang crosses its claws before pulling them to the side. Its eyes glows blue before the incoming snow of the blizzard went flying up to the air.
"what?" said Yuji before clicking his tongue. "Abomasnow, use Ice Punch!"
"Aboma!" Abomasnow cried out as the Tree Frost Pokémon runs towards Metang with its right fist covered in cold air.
"Metang, dodge and then Signal Beam on the ground," said Ken as Metang nodded before it dodges Abomasnow's Ice Punch before it charges energy in a rainbow sphere before firing the Signal Beam at the ground from the command, causing a cloud of dust and snow everywhere.
Abomasnow shielded its eyes from the dust and snow that just clouded everything.
"tch! Abomasnow put your guard up!" said Yuji as Metang was nowhere to be found.
Abomasnow looks around for Metang as the Iron Claw Pokémon couldn't be found anywhere.
"Metang, Iron Head, and then Meteor Mash" said Ken as the ground below Abomasnow suddenly exploded and Metang came zooming out while using its Iron Head.
"what?!" said Yuji who looks surprised as his Abomasnow that got hit with the Iron Head before it got sent flying up. "Abomasnow!"
Metang hovers in the air in front of Abomasnow before one of its claws shines yellow and swung at the Tree Frost Pokémon.
"Aboma!" Abomasnow cried out as the Tree Frost Pokémon crashes to the ground and the blizzard is gone.
"Abomasnow!" said Yuji as his Abomasnow is knocked out.
"Abomasnow is unable to battle! Metang wins!" announced the referee as he holds up his hand to Ken's side.
"great job, Metang" Ken told Metang who floats in front of him and nodded before getting called back to its Pokeball. Ken soon takes out another Pokeball while looking at Yuji who called back his Abomasnow and placed its Pokeball away before taking out another. "are you ready, Yuji?"
"I am!" said Yuji with a serious look before he throws out his next Pokeball as a Blaziken appeared.
"Blaziken!" shouted Blaziken as the flames on its wrists ignites.
"a Blaziken!" said Osamu, surprised to see the final evolution of Torchic which is one of the starters' pokemon of the Hoenn region.
"then, I choose you!" said Ken as he threw his Pokeball and an Electabuzz appeared.
"Electabuzz!" Electabuzz cries out as the Electric Pokémon had static running around its body.
"an Electabuzz now?" said Shirona, seeing another Pokémon that she knows that her husband never caught or raise before
"Blaziken! Flamethrower!" said Yuji as Blaziken fired out streams of flames from its mouth upon command.
"Light screen," said Ken as Electabuzz puts its hands in front of its body and a yellowish clear glass screen appears in front of it before blocking the incoming Flamethrower.
"tch! Use Earthquake then!" said Yuji as Blaziken jumps up before coming down and kicks the ground hard, causing a shockwave to vibrate through the earth and shakes it.
"why is the earth-shaking!?" exclaimed Shirina, feeling the Earthquake.
Electabuzz felt the Earthquake as it is losing its balance.
"Electabuzz, Use Volt Switch," said Ken as Electabuzz charges a sphere of yellow electrical energy in its palms before firing it at Blaziken.
"Blaziken!" cried Blaziken as the attack is a direct hit.
"Blaziken!" said Yuji before he sees Electabuzz disappearing into its Pokeball and from Ken's Pokeballs came out Hitmonchan. "what the?!"
"Volt Switch is an attack move that allows a Pokémon that uses it to return back to its Pokeball before calling out an ally to take its place in battle," said Tetsu while scratching his chin. "that's smart of Ken"
"but when did he ever catch an Electabuzz?" said Shirona while thinking of the answer. "I never seen him catch or raise on before"
"that's because that's my sister's Electabuzz, Shirona-san" Minny told Shirona who made a surprised noise. "Ken-san asked us to lend our Pokémon for his battle against Yuji-san"
"so that's why he has Hitmonchan with him" Shirona said, glancing at her daughter who is being distracted by Kirika and Akira. "but why would he need to borrow your Pokemons?"
"no matter!" said Yuji before swinging out a hand in front "Blaziken! Overheat let's go!"
Blaziken's flames on its wrist rages even more before it spewed out a torrent of powerful flames at Hitmonchan.
"you ready, old friend?" asked Ken as Hitmonchan nodded. "good then, use Dynamic Punch on the ground"
"Hitmon!" cried Himtonchan as it pulls back its right fist before sending it straight at the ground "Chan!"
The ground cracks before a big part of the ground flip out and clashes against the incoming Overheat attack.
"you used the field to block the attack?!" said Yuji surprised.
"that's not all" said Ken as he snaps his fingers and Hitmonchan positions its palms together before a sphere of energy started to charge in between them. "Hitmonchan, fire your Aura Sphere"
Hitmonchan nodded before it fires the Aura Sphere that flies straight at Blaziken before causing a direct explosion, causing Blaziken to cry out in pain.
"Blaziken!" said Yuji as Blaziken staggered back from the attack while grunting in pain.
"give it a Dynamic Punch" said Ken as Hitmonchan jumps up before coming down and slams its Dynamic Punch straight at Blaziken's face.
"Blazi!" Blaziken cried out from getting the Dynamic Punch before it got sent to face down to the ground. "Ken!"
Yuji looks with his jaws drop as his Blaziken is down just like his Abomasnow.
"Blaziken is unable to battle! Hitmonchan is the winner!" said the referee as Hitmonchan punches its fists together before doing a victory pose.
"return" said Yuji who calls his Blaziken back to its Pokeball before taking out his next Pokémon's Pokeball. He looks at it before looking at Ken and Hitmonchan, the two are waiting for their next opponent.
"we're waiting" said Ken as Yuji gritted his teeth before he threw his Pokeball into the air and it pops open, calling out an Aerodacytl to the air
"an Aerodacytl like Papa's!" said Osamu, seeing the same extinct Pokémon that his father has
"that Aerodacytl is my son's first-ever revived ancient Pokémon, he has been raising it since it was reborn," said Tetsu with a smile, seeing the Fossil Pokémon.
"you can take the first move" said Ken as he crossed his arms while Hitmonchan punches its fists together before doing some shadow boxing.
"Aerodacytl, use Wing Attack!" ordered Yuji as Aerodacytl screeches before it swoops down with its wings glowing white.
"jump" said Ken as Hitmonchan jumps up and dodges the Wing Attack. "and then give it a Thunder Punch"
Hitmonchan lifts up its right fist as it gets coated with electricity before the Punching Pokémon swoops down and punches Aerodacytl hard.
"Aerodacytl!" shouted Yuji as his Aerodacytl screeches in pain from the Thunder Punch to its back before crashing to the ground, instantly knocked out.
"Aerodactyl is unable to battle! Hitmonchan wins!" announced the referee as Ken won the battle so easy.
"no way, a one hit Ko" said Minny while Kenji gulped his throat.
"that's a bit harsh even for Papa" said Osamu seeing how Hitmonchan just took out Yuji's Aerodacytl with a single Thunder Punch to its back.
"I see" said Shirona with a smile. "always with the lessons, Ken"
Osamu looks at his mother as he is confused on what is she talking about.
Yuji gritted his teeth before he called back his Aerodacytl to its Pokeball. His Pokemons were like weaklings against Ken's Pokemons as they were taken out so easily like they were just low leveled.
"Hitmonchan, care to switch?" said Ken to Hitmonchan who nodded before getting called back to its Pokeball and its place was taken by Venomoth. Ken looks at Yuji who is looking at two Pokeballs in his hand as he is choosing who to call out and he picked the right one.
"Magmortar!" said Yuji as he calls out a Magmortar.
"this is bad" said Miyuki as Magmortar which is a fire type is very powerful against Venomoth which is a bug/poison type. "Ken-san is at a type disadvantage"
"don't worry" said Osamu with a smile "my Papa got the title of Counter Master for a reason, remember?"
"go! Flame Burst!" said Yuji as Magmortar arms turns into cannons before it fires into the air, a ball of fire that instantly exploded, sending flames everywhere.
"repel them all with Psychic" said Ken as Venomoth's eyes glows blue before the flames that were coming down at it stops mid-air before flying back at Magmortar.
"Magmor!" cried out Magmortar as its attack came back at itself.
"then! Give it a Mega Punch!" said Yuji as his Magmortar recovered and then runs towards Venomoth while its right arm glows white and charges with energy.
"Disable" said Ken as Venomoth's eyes glow light blue and Magmortar stopped moving before it could fire its Mega Punch at Venomoth. Yuji's eyes widen to see his Pokémon not moving as Magmortar froze to its spot. "Psybeam"
Venomoth charges energy into its eyes before it fires a multi colored beam at Magmortar who couldn't move.
"Magmortar!" cried out Magmortar as the attack resulted in a direct explosion.
"you…got to be kidding me…is he supposed to be this strong…" said Yuji, shocked that his strong Pokemons couldn't defeat Ken's Pokemons when he has a type advantage over them.
Magmortar fell as the Fire Type Pokémon is knocked out from the close range Psybeam attack.
"Magmortar is unable to battle! Venomoth is the winner!" announced the referee, Venomoth flies up before perching on Ken's shoulder.
"thanks, Venomoth" said Ken as Venomoth nodded before getting called back to its Pokeball. Ken looks at Yuji who calls back his knocked out Magmortar and looks at its Pokeball with a frustrated glare.
"then this one!" said Yuji as he throws out his next Pokémon's Pokeball into the air. a Salamance came out as the Dragon Pokémon soars in the air before landing on the ground with a loud stomp then lets out a threatening growl.
"well then" said Ken who throws out a Pokeball and a Gardevoir appeared.
Ralts started to cry out to Gardevoir as Miyuki pats her head before seeing Gallade coming out of its Pokeball. The Blade Pokémon let out a few cries to Gardevoir who nodded with a smile.
"he will be switching for this battle" said Minny as Kenji nodded, everyone knows that a Dragon Type is weak against a Fairy Type.
"Salamance! Dragon Pulse!" shouted Yuji as this surprised Osamu and the others.
"what? why isn't he substituting to a different type?!" said Minny surprised that Yuji wouldn't change his Pokémon that is at a disadvantage at the battle.
Salamance growls before it fires an energy sphere towards Gardevoir, Ken didn't even speak a word as the attack hits and cause an explosion.
"don't tell me" said Miyuki seeing Yuji whose expression is filled with frustration.
"that's right" said Shirona, knowing what Miyuki is thinking. "Yuji-kun is panicking right now"
"he's panicking?" asked Minny with a confused look as Shirona nodded before turning to look at Tetsu.
"I can guess that he has never face this kind of battle before, has he?" asked Shirona as Tetsu nodded
"Yuji never face a pressuring battle before" said Tetsu with a serious look. "my son has been battling and just winning every battle, he never once experienced a lost in a battle before. that's why he never knew how it feels to be in a losing battle"
"Trainers like Yuji-kun are a part of the ones when under pressure will make the wrong choices in a battle" said Shirona looking at the field as the smoke subsides and revealed Gardevoir unscathed from the attack. "right now, he is thinking of power over everything. That's why he didn't change his Pokémon"
YujI growls in frustration as his Salamance' Dragon Pulse did nothing against Gardevoir.
"Moon Blast" said Ken as Gardevoir gathers energy to form an orb of pink energy in front of its hands before firing at Salamance, resulting in a direct hit.
Salamance roars in pain as Yuji watched with shock in his eyes, his pokemon falling and got knocked out after just one hit.
Yuji gritted his teeth as he looks more frustrated from before. he calls back his Salamance to its Pokeball before taking out his last Pokémon's Pokeball which he threw into the air and a Shiftry appeared.
"Razor Leaf!" shouted Yuji, his Shiftry spreads its arms and swung them around, firing multiple spinning leaves.
"Psychic" said Ken as Gardevoir's eyes glowed and all the Razor Leaves froze in the air. "and return them at full force"
The Razor leaves started spinning before they went flying back at Shiftry at full force.
"Shiftry!" Shiftry cried out in pain as its own attack came back at it.
"no! get up and use Payback!" shouted Yuji as Shiftry struggles to get back up.
"Attract" said Ken as Gardevoir gave Shiftry a wink and its eyes turned to hearts.
"what?!" exclaimed Yuji with a shocked face.
Gallade growls angrily as Osamu and the others awkwardly smiles to the jealous Blade Pokémon.
"send him flying with a Moonblast" said Ken as Gardevoir charges energy into a pink energy sphere before firing it directly at Shiftry.
An explosion occurred before Shiftry went flying out of the smoke and crashed to the ground, knocked out.
"Shiftry is unable to battle! Gardevoir is the winner!" announced the Referee as he raises a hand to Ken's side. "the winner is Unova Champion Master, Ken!"
Yuji fell to his knees as his whole team of Pokémon were defeated by Ken's.
"thank you Gardevoir" said Ken as Gardevoir let out a single cry and nodded before Gallade went to her with Ralts in his arms. Ralts cried out to Gardevoir as Gallade passes her to the Embrace Pokémon who had a smile to Ralts.
Ken started to walk towards Yuji who calls back his Shiftry to its Pokeball.
"I hope you can understand now, Yuji." Said Ken to the young man "Pokémon Battle isn't all about having powerful Pokemons, it's all about having a bond with your Pokémon who you know have your back"
"spare me the lesson, will you?" said Yuji who stands back up and looks away "I just lost against a Champion Master, that doesn't surprise anyone and me. I knew I couldn't win but that offer of yours is too tempting to miss out on"
"yeah, it is" said Ken with a chuckle before taking out several Pokeballs and threw them out as Hitmonchan and the others came out. "and I want to tell you that the Pokemons I used in our battle, aren't mine at all"
"what?" said Yuji before he sees Metang and the others going towards Osamu and the others who gave them praises.
"Hitmonchan was once my Pokémon, but he's now my Daughter's Pokémon" said Ken as Hitmonchan stood beside him. Ken looks at Yuji who looks back with a surprised look. "that's right. My daughter who you mocked as a girl and state that she's weak"
"you battled me as a payback for your daughter" said Yuji with a serious stare at Ken
"That and the fact that either girl or boy, whatever the reason is, anyone can choose their own destiny and path" said Ken while placing a hand to his hips "there's no reason to say that girls should choose Pokémon Contest while boys pick Gym Battles. It's what your heart says that you want to be in."
Ken turns as he looks at Osamu and the others everyone having happy faces with their pokemons.
"the Pokemons with Osamu and the others, they grow strong even in a Pokémon Contest" said Ken before looking at Yuji. "it doesn't matter what path you choose. Trainer and Pokemons can become strong by going through any path together"
Yuji looks at him and was about to say something when Shirina came bolting in.
"you!" shouted Shirina while pointing a finger at him. "I was waiting for the right moment to get you and challenge you!"
Shirona and the others look at Kirika and Akira, both had their hair and their clothes in a mess from trying to restrain Shirina who had taken off her blindfold and saw Yuji.
"I'm going to teach you to never mess with girls or my little brother ever again!" exclaimed Shirina while taking out a Pokeball.
Yuji looks at her before scoffing as he turns and walks away while pocketing his hands.
"not in the mood" said Yuji who continues to walk away.
"hey! come back here!" shouted Shirina before Ken holds her off.
"now now, instead of Yuji, how about having a battle with me?" said Ken as this made Shirina's eyes sparkle.
"really?! Let's do it now!" exclaimed Shirina with a happy smile.
Ken smiles as he knows how to distract his daughter's attention very well.
The day turned to sunset as Ken and the others were seeing off Tetsu and Yuji who were getting on a boat that would take them to Steel Island.
"it was nice to bump into you, Ken" said Tetsu while shaking hands with Ken.
"I can say the same too" replied Ken with a smile.
Yuji stood behind his father as he glanced at Ken and the others before away.
"hey" Shirina called out to him as Yuji glances at her.
"what do you want?" said Tetsu while crossing his arms.
"just because I didn't get to battle you today, doesn't mean that I am going to let you off" said Shirina with a determined and serious look. "I am going to get the rest of my badges and then go to the league with my friends. You better watch yourself because I'm going to beat you in the league"
Yuji looks at her before he shrugs his shoulders and started walking towards the boat.
"I can say the same to you" said Yuji "better not lose before I beat you myself"
"What did you say?!" exclaimed Shirina angrily
"that boy," said Tetsu with a sighing smile.
The boat soon sails off as Tetsu waved Ken and the others goodbye while Yuji just stands behind his father.
Ken and the others wave their hands in goodbye to Tetsu and Yuji who sails off for Steel island.
"just wait when I get to the League" said Shirina while grumbling "I am going to beat him up with Golurk's Dynamic Punch"
"now now" said Shirona as everyone except for Ken started to walk away from the harbor.
Ken watch the boat sails off to Steel island as he had a smile.
He watches the ship and the sea before he sees a dried black wasteland with wreckage of ships everywhere and stone statues of dozens of pokemons everywhere.
"what the" said Ken as he rubs his eyes and sees that he is back at the port. "what was.."
"Ken?' Shirona called out to him as Ken turns and sees that she with the kids were going off. "come on"
"ah..yeah" replied Ken before he turns and follows them.
At Lavender Town
Detective Handsome is walking around the town as he is following the secret map that is drawn out in Osamu's Diary.
"this is it" said the Detective as he arrived at the barn which was once owned by Ken but is sold to a friend of his when he decided to move to Sinnoh and be with Shirona.
After receiving the permission of the barn's new owner, Detective Handsome went in and finds the place filled with haystacks, and sacks filled with farm stocks.
Detective Handsome looks at the diary as he shines the UV light and sees that he arrived at the end of the map. He turns a page and sees writings.
"to whoever reads this, I must warn you that the secrets that lies within this diary of mine are filled with what can bring hope or despair to the world that we know" said the Detective, reading out the message within the diary. "bellow the farm of my home, is a secret underground cave that can be found by lifting up the loose plank in the center of the barn itself"
The Detective looks around before he went to the center of the barn as he pressed his foot around and felt one wooden plank that was loose and squeaking.
"this one" said the detective as he went down on one knee and grabs the loose plank before pulling it out. Under the loose plank is a metal door that is covered in some dirt. "this must be the entrance"
After 30 minutes of taking out the rest of the wooden planks surrounding the secret metal door, the detective opens the door, and sees metal stairs that is covered with spiderwebs.
He took out a flashlight and shines its light down the metal staircase as he sees that it is a long way down.
Under the barn is a metal hallway that is just filled with dust and spiderwebs. Detective Handsome climbs down the stairs as he reaches the bottom and turns towards the hallway while shining his light. He then looks at Osamu's diary and sees that the invisible ink is glowing in the darkening hallway.
"alright" said the Detective before he shines his flashlight down the hall while reading Osamu's diary for the direction that he might need to follow.
"lies within the barn is a secret underground bunker that I had built with my wife, Marika. The secrets of our past in Team Plasma are all sealed within it. I believe that one day, when the planets and the stars are aligned, an unspeakable terror and chaos shall descend upon the world and burns everything in flames"
Detective Handsome walks down the hall as it is a one-way path.
"on the day of end, the Pokémon Kaiser will descend and shall burn everything in flames. That is the message that I had received from someone beyond of our world. That is why I and Marika decided to build this bunker in hopes that day won't ever come"
The Detective reaches the end of the hall where there is a metal door in front of him, he looks for a handle or anything that will let him open it but finds none.
He reads the diary as he tried to find any hints on how to open the metal door and he did.
"on the right side of the metal door there is a hidden compartment to open the metal door" said the Detective, reading the diary as he looks around the right side of the metal door while pressing his hand around. After a minute of touching around, the detective found the hidden compartment that flips open and revealed a number keypad. "the code?"
He looks for the code and finds it on the next page which is 117300. Detective Handsome pressed the numbers of the code and he sees that it beeps green before the door slides open and dust just came out.
The Detective coughs a bit while fanning his hands around to blew out some of the dust before he shines his flashlight and finds papers everywhere on the floor. He entered in and sees a light switch that he flicks up and the entire room lit up. within the metal door is a large laboratory-like chamber where there are several large glass tubes containing sparkling stars in a variety of color.
"this is" said the Detective who looks at the glass tubes and the sparkling stars within them. As he checks the glass tubes, he finds that there were a few shattered and there were no stars within them.
Detective Handsome checks Osamu's diary as he sees that there aren't any message left. He checks the whole diary with the uv flashlight and finds that the last page holds the last message.
"in life there is death, in death there is life. The lullaby that can calm the rage of all pokemon is within the world, and within the world there is the lullaby of peace. darkness and light, body and mind, balance that is found to all can be searched within" said the detective as he sees a few numbers and letters below the message. He looks around and finds a single computer at the very end of the chamber.
He went to it and sees that the computer is one as on the screen it is waiting for a code input. The detective looks at it before to Osamu's diary as he looks at the numbers and letters which were combined together.
"E5l12O15v21" said the detective as he inputs the numbers and letters on the keyboard as the code is inputted into the computer before it beeps and accepted his code. The sound of a several beeps were heard as Detective Handsome looks to the side and sees a metal compartment opening up and revealed a small case that is covered in cold air.
Detective Handsome went to the case and picks it up before opening it, inside the case is a silver Pokeflute with a worn music note that has the notes of a music written on it.
"what could this be?" said the Detective before he hears dozens of footsteps coming from the metal door as he quickly hides under a table.
Entering into the hidden lab were dozens of team rocket grunts as they all entered the lab with their leader, Sakaki.
"ho? So this is the laboratory of the famous Prof. Marika?" said Sakaki looking at the large glass tubes filled with the sparkling stars. "and I assume that these are his life plates?"
"yes" said Achroma who came walking in and adjusted his glasses. "and I must say that there are a few missing"
"ensure that all of them are transported into our base with maximum security, I do not want a single one of them damaged" said Sakaki to one of his troops who saluted.
Detective Handsome looks at Sakaki as he holds the Silver Pokeflute and music note close before placing them into his coat, he soon takes out several black marble balls in his coat pocket and holds them in his right palm.
Sakaki watch his troops starting to remove the glass tubes filled with the sparkling stars before his Persian growls towards the direction of where Detective Handsome is hiding at.
"hm? What's wrong?" he asked his Persian before Detective Handsome ran out of his hiding spot and throws the black marbles that explodes in the air, unleashing smoke everywhere.
"Sakaki-sama!" several team rocket grunts ran to Sakaki who coughs from the smoke before seeing Detective Handsome just running out of the lab.
"I'm fine! after him!" said Sakaki as some of his troops chase after Detective Handsome. Sakaki then looks at Achroma who shrugs his shoulders before going to the computer and started to check its data.
Detective Handsome ran out of the hallway as he is chased by team rocket grunts. He took out several black marbles and throws them behind. The marbles exploded, resulting in more smoke explosion that blinded the vision of the team rocket grunts while causing them to cough.
The detective reached the stairs and started climbing up. when he reached the top however, there were several team rocker grunts awaiting him with their grunt pokemons readied.
"move it" said one of the grunts as detective Handsome climbed up and raises his hands in surrender. The grunts pushed him down as their Pokemons growls at the detective.
"Marowak! Bonemerang!" a voice shouted as a bone came flying in and knocks out all of the team rocket grunts with their pokemon before it flies back to the grasp of a Marowak who is standing in front of Reika. "hurry, detective!"
"thank you!" said Detective Handsome as he got back up and started running out. Reika and Marowak runs with him as team rocket grunts chased after them
The two runs out as the town is in fire, houses and crops were burned, nothing was spared.
"don't look behind!" said the detective who took out a white ball from his coat before throwing it at the team rocket grunts who are chasing them. The ball flies towards the grunts before it exploded and causes a flashing explosion that could blind anyone for an hour or so.
When the flashbang died down, Detective Handsome, Reika, and Marowak were gone.
"damnit! Find them!" one grunt exclaimed as the rest started to run around, trying to find the three.
Out in the forest near the burned down Lavender Town. Detective Handsome and Reika with Marowak runs through the woods before they arrived at a cave where all the townsfolk of Lavender town were staying within.
"thank you, Reika" said the detective, thanking her for the save before hearing Marowak cry out to him. "you too, Marowak"
"can you please explain to me why team rocket just came here and burn our precious town to the ground?" asked Reika as she wanted to know on why team rocket attack their home.
"I can explain later, right now" said the detective before looking back and could see team rocket grunts coming in hot. "we need to get everyone to safety"
"alright" said Reika before looking at the townsfolks "come on everyone, we need to go"
Everyone started to go away from the cave while detective handsome took out his phone and dialed a number. He waits for the call to connect and it did after several rings.
"hello? This is detective Handsome from the Sinnoh League Pokémon League Security Department. This is an emergency, please send officer jenny and firefighters to Lavender town. Team Rocket has attacked the town and burned it to the ground, requesting immediate backup" said the detective before he heard some shouting from the forest as it was the team rocket grunts "also, I need a request to block all news of the incident from reaching Sinnoh at all cost. It is of importance of the Kanto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and all of the world itself"
Detective Handsome placed away his phone back into his coat before he takes out several purple marbles that he soon throws towards the forest that exploded and creates purple stink gas explosion
He soon followed Reika and the others as he is now prioritizing the safety of the Lavender town's folks
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
