I Don't Own Pokemon
Sunny Town was pretty boring, so after some rest, I set out pretty early after only about a day there. It was about four days of walking later when I finally entered Celadon, and while it was a little late at night, I wasn't sure if I would stay any longer than I had to before setting out again.
All I really need is to restock on water, something I normally buy just and absolute ton of every time I'm low on it. And currently I was worriedly low on it, so I was in the Celadon department store currently just tossing water jugs into the hand basket I took at the from of the small store, that was inside a massive building.
I was also planning to look into getting some TMs while I was here as this, out of basically every other place in Kanto, had the largest stock of TMs. While I wouldn't be getting anything crazy, I did in fact have my eye on one TM specifically. Thunderbolt, it is a move that will give Luxray a better long ranged single target electric attack.
And surprisingly Mismagius, turns out, can also learn it as well which gives her a nice powerful, while weaker than if Luxray used it, electric type move. I also planned on looking at the others moves a little as well after purchasing the TM, to see if their was anything else I should buy, but besides that, I would be setting out onward to Vermilion after I left this building.
Sadly, after looking around the stores for a bit, I didn't find anything that I really wanted to get TM wise. But I did find a smaller store off to the side, that sold more specialized food, so I bought some more of that as well. After all that looking around, I was finally leaving the store, when I noted that a Jenny was running, in my general direction, with a growlithe at her side.
The direction they were going turned much more sharply towards me as the fire puppy barked and darted left, the direction I was currently walking in. All ready seeing where this was going I stopped and waited for her to arrive close enough to me, I was going to ask her what she wanted, but I didn't have the time as she already beat me to the punch.
"Hey! You're Kyu right? My sister talked about you. Anyway no time for introduction, from what I've heard you've helped the police with a group called Team Rocket before right?" I just looked at her for a second before nodding, I was a little curious about why she was asking but I'm pretty sure I already knew, and that meant, I probably wouldn't be leaving Celadon tonight, great.
"Oh you are? Good! Listen, we have gotten reports that Team Rocket has been planning something involving the recently set up Game Corner. These rumors don't give information sadly for a warrant, but I did hear from my family that you've been helping out when it comes to this group, and just a little while ago, I became aware that you passed by Sunny Town.
"So I figured that you would be coming here next, and thankfully I was right. Look, this won't be official for anything, but would you mind looking into this Game Corner for me, it would be a big help if you can find something to confirm that Team Rocket is planning something. So will you help?"
I looked at her for about ten seconds, mostly to process the information dump I've just been given. Last time I checked, the whole thing with the Game Corner was just something that happened in the games not the show. So why was this happening here, when it's clear I'm in the show not the games.
And another thing was, apparently I'm a known figure in the police department now for helping out against Team Rocket. I'm not sure how I feel about that. While I don't mind being known about I don't really like that I'm a, even if it is a mild and not even in a negative light, focus point for the police.
Whatever I'll think more on it later, right now I have an answer to give. And it's not like the answer is going to be surprisingly either, I mean it's Team Rocket, like hell am I going to not ruin their day or just in general makes life for them harder. They've annoyed me way to much for that.
"Don't worry, I'll look into it, though don't expect immediate results. I'm going to have a look around the place before going and looking for members" I received a thankful nod and a bow with a thank you attached to it, before the police officer nodded to her partner Pokemon and turned to walk off.
As they walked away, I wondered how they knew I was in town. It wasn't like I was exactly hiding as I have had Luxray out by my side since I've gotten here, which was a dead give away for anyone that knows of or about me. Though I did have to return him because of some policies that the department store had.
Sighing to myself, I looked upward at the sky for a moment, it was dark out but I wouldn't be getting any sleep, might as well get this over with so I could make my way over to Saffron, then from there, I needed to get to Vermilion, something that if I rushed I might be able to get to one of the first ferries that are heading to Cinnabar.
Looking back at the entrance to the department, I began to make my way back inside, after all I need a camera now. If they need evidence then I'll make sure they'll get plenty of it.
Walking up to the Game corner with a illusioned hoodie on, so I could use it to shadow my face and to hide my hair. Mostly because I was also practically on the capture on sight list Team Rocket had, well if they had one. I'd be surprised if they don't actually now that I'm thinking on it.
Anyway, besides that, I currently had my sneaky ghost in my shadow as back up if I needed it and was to busy to reach down to my chest and grab one of my other teammates. Hopefully that won't be needed though, so with that I walked into the building while looking around.
It was bigger than it was in the games, that was for sure but that was kind of expected. The place was lined wall to wall with some more lines in the middle just filled with slot machines. I ignored all of that and instead made my way towards the back, after all what good is meta knowledge if I didn't abuse it.
So with that, I made my way to the back of the building before making my way towards the right, and a couple minutes of searching later. I found a interesting poster with a switch hidden behind it. Pulling out my new camera I took a picture of it and looked down at my shadow before asking Mismagius.
"Do you mind seeing if their is a floor below us? Make sure you aren't seen if their is" I didn't get an answer but my shadow did become not as dark soon after I stopped talking. After a moment it became occupied once more before I heard in a quiet tone.
"There is a lot of floors under us Captain" I gave her a nod, before frowning to myself. I was kind of hoping that nothing was actually going on, even after finding the switch. Oh well.
"Find us a good spot to appear and then Shadow Sneak me down there" Looking around for a moment I noted that no one was nearby, unlike the game their wasn't a guard out here keeping people away from finding the switch, something that bugged me. Everything else seemed to be the same so why was that different.
I didn't get much longer to think about it before I fell into my shadow in what seemed to be a broom storeroom. Looking over at my ghost I nodded my head towards the door, only to get a shake of the head. Nodding to her this time in thanks, I slowly pushed the door open, and walked out making sure no one was around.
Seeing it was clear I stepped out and began to walk down the hall way. It didn't look like the game, it was more stylized. Looking around the hallway for a bit I avoided any door that didn't have a window on it until Mismagius could check to make sure their wasn't anyone in their.
But that's the thing, no one was their, after about thirty minutes of searching. No one was on the first floor, this whole thing was practically screaming that this was a trap, but I knew I haven't been found yet so why was no one here. Maybe they were still in the process of setting up. But all the equipment so far I've found seems to have been in use.
So what was going on, looking around one last time after snapping a few more pictures of what I've found. I nodded to Mismagius before being dropped to the level below. It was the same, no human or Pokemon in sight, this was honestly beginning to unnerve me, looking around the last room after taking a few more pictures of discarded files.
Most of which seemed to important to just have lying around, I was actively running all the things Giovanni's plan could be threw out my head trying to piece together a plot were this would make sense. And it didn't, he is aware that I have a ghost to move me around, this kind of trap wouldn't make sense.
And would be way to dangerous, with the amount of information I've found, for the off chance that I got away. So what was the end goal here, because their is no way that he would just abandon this place without removing all traces of it. What am I missing then? It at this point has to be at least kind of obvious.
But nothing that I could think of would leave this to putting Team Rocket in a better position, unless they had some way of making sure I couldn't get out but their's no way that they could make that a one hundred percent variable, so what is going on. At this point it was actively getting me annoyed as I cleared the third level.
Of course that's when Mismagius fell over, spinning around to try and find the source, as a cold rage filled my body I returned my ghost, and that's when I froze when I saw the Pokemon standing behind me with an arm pointed out towards me. I felt my rage die as fast as it appeared as I looked at the Pokemon in front of me.
With my thoughts now focused much more heavily on survival I frowned as one main line of thinking ran throughout my mind. What the hell was Mewtwo doing here?
Cliff hangers are just great aren't they? I'm not adding anything else here so, See Ya.
