I ran through the bright white halls of the laboratory, not knowing my way around. then, I turned a left, and saw two scientists approaching. I hid behind a potted plant, and waited as they passed by.
"Well, what are we going to do to the pokémon next?" said one curiously.
"The boss will probably have us battle them all to the death, and the one which survives will become her new prized pokémon," the other replied, like it was no big deal, a normal fact of life. They both laughed maniacally.
Hearing this, I felt my knees grow weak and the color drain from my silver face. Battle the pokémon to the death?! I thought feverishly. That is horrible! I have to find them and try to free them! The scientists left the hall, and I emerged from behind the potted plant. I took off down the hall, not knowing where to go
But then, I saw the door marked "Pokémon Holding Area One." I knew this was where my friends were being held. Mew knows why, but I just knew they were in there. Thank goodness also that my old friend Diamond had taught me to read while we were exploring near that human encampment in the forest. Using my Dragon Rage, I burned the door knob into a blackened crisp. The white door swung open silently, and I saw for the first time the numerous amount of tiny cages lining the walls. Just the mere sight of them made me sick, knowing that so many innocent pokémon were in here. I saw the remote that the humans had used to open the cages high above me on a peg about 8 feet up.
Utilizing my new psychic powers, I levitated the remote down from the hook it had been hanging from, and let it clunk in front of me onto the white tiled floor. I saw a big red button, marked "All Cages." I depressed the button, and all of the doors swung open. All of the caged pokémon came jumping out. Even the Sandslash, Groundstrike, came bounding out, much more energetic than I had remembered him to be.
"Hey, yeah!" said Lunar as he jumped out of the cage he was in. "We thought you wouldn't come back alive!"
"Freedom!" cried Calypso as she jumped to the floor.
"Yeah, I had forgotten what it felt like," said Shadow.
"Me too," Shockwave agreed.
"No time to lose!" I said. "The scientists were pretty mad when I broke free."
"Wait," said Firestrike. "We have to also free the others in the other room."
"Other room?" I asked. "What other room?"
"Yeah, some of our buddies, Arbiter, Kirin, Fireburst, and Larissa, are in there, and we have to get them out too," said Shockwave, determined.
"Let's go, then, since they'd probably do the same for us," I said, leading the way out into the hall.
Our group ran over to the next room. Groundstrike started digging a tunnel to the outside, for an escape route. Lunar charged up his powers, and busted the door down in one big blast. The pokémon in there looked at us in disbelief.
"Hey, you guys, it's time for freedom!" yelled Firestrike. I had taken the remote from the other room, and pressed the button again. The cage doors all swung open simultaneously, much like before.
"Hey, Arbiter!" called out Lunar. A light blue Charmander came running over.
"Great to see you again, Lunar!" Arbiter said.
"Hey, Kirin, Chico, Larissa, Fireburst!" called out Shockwave. A big deer- like pokémon with big antlers, a small little grass type with a big red leaf on its head, and a small, lightly tinged red Lugia responded. There was also a small, lightly blue tinged Moltres.
"Nice to see that you're all right," said Kirin.
"That's enough for intros," I said, "but we have to leave like right now! Follow me!" I led everyone into the tunnel that Groundstrike had dug. Luckily, it was large enough for Kirin to fit through. Everyone else had no problems. Since I had been standing guard, I was the last one to leave the facility. As I was about to go in and crawl to freedom, however, a rough hand grabbed my right hind leg.
"Oh, no you don't you pesky pokémon!" said a rough male voice. "You may have been able to free the others, but you won't escape!"
I struggled and tried to break out of the man's grasp, but couldn't. He dragged me out of the tunnel, and held me upside down in front of his face. Now was my chance! I tapped into my internal fire, and shot out a huge blast of fire into his face. He dropped me hard to the ground and clutched his badly burnt and black face, while screaming insults and curses in my general direction. When I dropped, I landed wrong on my leg and twisted it pretty badly. Ignoring the stabbing pain though, I scampered into the tunnel, to the freedom at the end of the tunnel.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey, you, wake up!" said Calypso as she sprayed water into my face.
"Ow!" I said, looking at my leg and wincing, since it was swollen and purple. "I'm awake, I'm awake!"
"We just want to say thanks," said Groundstrike. "If it wasn't for you, we'd still be stuck in that god-forsaken place."
I told them about the scientist's plans, the ones where they would've battle us against one another to the death.
"By Mew," said Shockwave, shuddering.
"We would've all been killed for some human to choose one of us for her own," said Larissa, a little unbelievingly.
"That's just cold," said Kirin. "At least we all got away from there."
"That's definitely something to be thankful about," agreed Firestrike.
"We must part ways now, but we may meet again someday," said Groundstrike. All of the maybe twenty other pokémon went with him, except for Calypso, Lunar, Shadow, Firestrike, Shockwave, Larissa, Arbiter, Kirin, Chiko, and Fireburst. The tiny Chikorita was riding on Kirin's back, but from the first meeting, she never said a word, and none of the others would tell me why. I just assume that the little grass-type was mute.
"Well, we must be going too," I said.
"Where will we go?" Larissa asked.
Just then, a strange shadow appeared from above. It landed in front of our little group. It was a strange black dragon with enormous wings.
"Who are you?" I asked it.
"I am Astroleon, a Spaced Out Dragon," it said. Its voice seemed to quake through our bodies, and I could almost feel the power radiating from the dragon. (An: Big joke on the ubb, there was a member named SpacedOutDragon, so that's what Astroleon is) "I am here to tell you where you need to go."
"Well?" said Shadow, "where are we supposed to go?"
"Basically, you have to leave Saffron City to find a safe place to hide, or the scientists will find you and recapture you. Who knows what they might do next?" said Astroleon.
"Bu-but, we don't know anyplace other than Saffron," said Firestrike.
"Deal with it, half the fun is the adventure," said Astroleon, chuckling. He alighted into the air, and shot off like a bullet in the sky, and disappeared. The dust cloud he created took about 20 seconds to subside, and by then, Astroleon was gone from sight.
"I remember a story told to me a long time ago, a place where Pokémon could live in peace," said Larissa thoughtfully. "I also remember that it was somewhere near a place called the Seafoam Islands."
"Let's go then, because as Astroleon said, the adventure is half the fun!" I said, leading the way out of Saffron, despite my injured leg, into adventures that we never dreamed possible.
