Delia Ketchum was busy in the kitchen making one of her Delicacy's when the pounding at the door started.
She wiped her hands and turned to Mr. Mime who was standing nearby.
Delia: "Oh Mimie, Could you get that please?"
Mr. Mime: (Nods) "Mime, Mime."
After putting the lid on her pot she started toward the living room. She had just walked in when she almost collided with Prof Oak who seemed to be excited.
She regains her calm composure and smiles.
Delia: (smiles) "Why hello Professor, What brings you here today?"
He seems afraid of something as he prepares to speak.
Prof Oak: "Delia, Have you been listening to the news?"
A worried look comes over her face.
Delia: "No I haven't…..What's wrong?"
He walks over to the TV and flips it on.
Prof Oak: "See for yourself."
As they sit down on the couch a cityscape appears on the screen. Thick smoke Rises from some of the buildings and floats into the sky.
Delia: (Upset) "Oh Dear."
After a few seconds a voice starts speaking in the background.
Voice: "You are now looking at live footage from the outskirts of Bama Town in Johto where this peaceful town has come under attack by an unknown assailant. The Town has been totally abandoned in the wake of this destruction. It is believed that The suspect is still inside the confines of town and a special Team of Law Enforcement officer are now being gathered to try and neutralize this threat. We have no idea of the number of Fatalities at this point as the survivors are still being counted as of now. We here at channel 12 will continue to bring you the most up to date information as it is gathered. We will now try to get a closer view of exactly what is going on. Please be Patient.
At that moment the Screen turns blue and a "Please Wait" sign pops up.
Oak looks over and sees Delia fidget uneasily on her seat.
Delia: (upset) "Ash and his friends are in Johto you know."
He reaches over and puts his hand on her shoulder.
Prof Oak: "Don't worry Delia, I'm Sure they're fine."
Delia: (sighs) "I sure hope so."
People from all over Kanto, Johto, and The Orange islands were calling in asking for information and asking about their loved ones.
Everyone that Ash and company had ever known were glued to their televisions unaware of what was to come.
Giovanni was still watching when agent Domino came back on the screen.
She clearly looks uncomfortable as she speaks
Domino: "Sir, They're calling in the Police…maybe we shouldn't be here"
Giovanni: (smiles) "Nonsense, this is turning out better than I could have ever planned. It's like I said, the perfect plan. We let those fools take Mackenrol out for us and then swoop down and take the stone for ourselves"
Domino: (protests) "But sir….."
Giovanni: (Angry) "Not another word Domino….are you with us or not?"
There is a short silence before she answers.
Domino: "I'm in."
Giovanni settles back down in his seat and starts to pet Persian.
Giovanni: "good then… just wait for my signal."
Mackenrol laughed evilly as energy surged out of his body.
As Brock steps forward to face the Giant Mackenrol lifts his glowing hand.
Brock is lifted Struggling into the air and thrown hard against the side of a building.
Ash: (shouts) "oh no..Brock!"
Misty: (shouts) "Brock!"
Ash, Misty, and Karrie Run to his aid as he crumples limply to the sidewalk.
Karrie Lifts Brock up a little and pats the unconscious boy's face.
Karrie: (worried) "Brock…Brock…Are you okay?
Ash looks and Throws the madman an angry gaze.
Mackenrol seems to be amused by this.
He grips the stone tightly and holds it above his head.
Mackenrol: (laughs) "You'd better give up now. As long as I have THIS, You'll never touch me."
Ash turns to Misty and hands pikachu to her . He reaches again and pulls out his pokeballs.
Ash: "you've got to have some weakness, and I'm going to find it."
Mackenrol: (scoffs) "Bah….your pokemon are useless against me."
Ash: (angry) "That's what you think….."
He throws the pokeball to the ground.
Ash: (shouts) "Go Bulbasaur!"
