Chapter 9: Pewter City Museum

Serge reached Pewter City and headed straight for the museum. It was an old marble building that stood out compared to the other dank ones. The only other site in Pewter City was the gym, but Serge couldn't win a badge there so he didn't go.

Serge walked into the doors of the museum only to be greeted by the secretaries. "The children fee is $50 to go inside the museum. Are you going inside?"

"Yea I guess," replied Serge. "Here you go." Serge gave the money to the secretary and continued onwards. He was looking at the aerodactyl skeleton with a caption that stated, "Aerodactyl is a prehistoric flying Pokemon. Aerodactyls have been spotted recently near Cinnabar Island."

"There you are!" came a familiar voice. Serge turned around to say something but Casey ran around to look at the aerodactyl fossil. "Wow! I took the liberty to find out that the amber that that guide gave us had aerodactyl DNA. A scientist said that we can take it down to Cinnabar Island and have one cloned."

"That's good. Are you ready to go?"

"Yea I have been here for like . . . an hour. What took you so long?"

"I decided to have a trainer battle with some bug-trainer."

"Really? Did you win?"

"Of course I did. How can you doubt Kairyu and me?"

Casey and Serge left the building and headed towards the Pokemon Center. "I guess we can't leave towards Viridian Forest because I don't want to stay the night in the forest," Casey said.

"I guess your right. I don't want to stay overnight there either." Just as Serge said that he saw a strange group of people standing and looking in the window of the museum. They were whispering intently about something. "Hey Casey! Wait up! What do you think those people are talking about," said Serge, as he pointed towards the group.

"I don't know. They probably couldn't afford the $50 it cost to go in there."

"I guess. I bet you I can beat you to the Pokemon Center," yelled Serge as he ran towards the center.

Casey tried to keep up but she was too slow. Serge easily beat Casey to the Pokemon Center. They sat in the lounge and started to eat their supper. They were talking about how they are going to get through Viridian Forest the next day. Suddenly the blaring of police sirens ruined the silence.

"Do you know what is going on, Joy?" asked Serge.

"There was a break-in at the museum and some fossils were stolen. The thieves still are in the museum. I hope they can catch them."

"I do too," answered Casey.

"Do you think it was those people standing on the outside of the museum?" asked Serge.

"Yea it could have been. Let's turn on the TV and find out," answered Casey as she grabbed the remote to turn on the TV.

"Two thieves and their Pokemon have been detained in the museum. They tried to break-in and probably steal some fossils but they tripped the alarm. Our police force arrived on the scene soon after. The two have yet to be identified. For more information we are going to talk to Officer Jenny," said the reporter. Officer Jenny walked over to the reporter and the interview started. "What are you trying to do to capture the thieves?"

"We are going to send in our growlithe force in now and try to arrest them. We have yet to contact them inside. It's as if they aren't there."

"Have you yet to get an identification on the suspects?"

"No, not yet. We are trying to get a feed from the security cameras inside." Just then a cloud of smoke came out of the museum. "It appears that the suspects have started a fire inside. Excuse me, but I have to go and clear the area around it."

Jenny ran off and talked to the other officers in the area. They had their teams back up, when a group jumped out of the museum doors. They stopped and started to speak, "We are a new version of the of the defunct Team Rocket. We are stronger and smarter than them," said one of them.

The other started to speak now, "We are the greatest thieves in the world. We are the combination of Team Aqua and Team Magma, now called Team Terra." As she finished they took off into the darkness.

"I hope we never see them again," replied Casey. "They look strong. I bet that even Kairyu can't take them."
