Jessie, James and Meowth looked from the bushes they were hiding in at the now transformed Ash. "Holy shit. Now this cloud be a problem! No wonder he beated us that easily.", James said. "Let's wait until they return inside. The we must inform Giovanni at once! He will not be pleased!", Jessie said. After everyone went inside, Jessie, James and Meowth got out of hiding. The finished up their camp, and returned to TR HQ.

"And that's the story boss. That kid can now also change his hair.", James said. They had ran until they reached HQ. "Great. Just what I need. This is getting better every day.", Giovanni replied sarcasticly. "You stay here until further order. Got that? Now move!". "Yes boss!", they replied, and left the room. Giovanni went down the same path he took earlier that week, and entered the lab. The main scientist walked up to him. "Sir, I did not expect you here. What is the problem?", he asked. "We've got trouble. How is the project doing?", he said. "Ready to go at your order sir. It's combat techniques are astounishing. It managed to defeat over thirty Pokemon in less than two minutes.", the scientist rapported, while he handed Giovanni a list with results of the tests. "Excellent. Has the controlchip been implanted?", he asked. "Yes sir. It will only react at your commands. He will only obey you, sir.", scientist said. "Excellent. Get ready. I'll contact the others.", Giovanni said, and satisfied and with a dark smile he left the lab.

Upstairs he called his secretary. "Let my chopper come immediatly.", he said. "As you wish, sir.", she replied. Giovanni took the private elevator in his room to the roof. When he got there, the chopper was waiting. Giovanni entered and the chopper flew off in the direction of Johto. But Vegetto and Ash, who returned from visiting Ash's father's grave, saw the chopper took off. "Ash, return home. I'll follow them. They must be up to something.", Vegetto said. "How do you know?", Ash asked him. "That's Giovanni's private chopper. Something must be brewing. Now go!". Ash flew off to his home, while Vegetto flew after the chopper.

The chopper landed at Goldenrod City, where a second base of TR was. Vegetto landed shortly after, and followed them cautiously around the building. Giovanni went all the way down to the basement. Vegetto followed him. Giovanni exited the elevator, and walked up to two guards, who let him pass. Vegetto needed to find a way in. He saw a airvent. Crawling through, he ended up in the lab. He could hear Giovanni talk to the main scientist.

"How is progress here?", Giovanni asked. "We're ready. We've implanted the controlchip in it. It will obey your every command.", the scientist answered. "Excellent. Stand by for releasing. We have a problem on our hands.", he said, while turning away. "What kind of problem?", the scientist asked. Giovanni stood still, and said: "A bigger one than twenty years ago.". And he left the lab.

Vegetto had heared every word. He crawled back, and returned to the roof. He waited after the chopper took off, and then he flew after it. After the chopper landed at TR HQ, Vegetto flew over it and straight to Pallet. "This is gonna be rough. I hope Ash is ready for it. And the worst thing is, we must wait until they reveal themselves.", he thought. This was a very disturbing turn of events, indeed.
