Chapter 3: The Infiltration
Jinn watched as his Aron recovered a bit thanks to his potion. It had indeed been a very difficult battle, but Jinn and Aron had come out on top. As the green haired trainer turned to Aron, he had a pretty big smile on his face. " I knew you could it! C'mon then... lets get out of here. Theres a town close by. " he said. The Aron looked up and nodded its head. " Aron... " As the trainer walked by, he had an uneasy feeling... as if someone was watching him. Shaking the feeling off, the trainer set his sights on the next city and the home of the first Pokemon Gym.
As Jinn left the forest, he could see a huge crowd of people in front of the city. Shrugging his shoulders, the trainer walked up to the scene where he could see a few police officers blocking off the town. A look of mystery came upon his face. " Whats wrong? Did something happen here? " he asked himself. His steel Pokemon looked up at Jinn with a mystified look. " Aron? Aron ron? " Jinn sighed as he looked over to a nearby trainer. " Excuse me but whats going on? "
The man turned around. " Some trainer and his Pokemon got killed. The police say that the person was near the town when it happened, then they were attacked by someone. " he said not quite sure about the details of the event. " I guess they closed off the entire city so they could search for clues. " Jinn looked at the trainer again. " Why would they want to block off the entire city? " he thought to himself.
Suddenly, the crowd began to disperse as a man apepared in the front. He had on a silver vest and had long white hair. A rifle was holstered on his back. " Hmmm... alright everyone. You'll have to leave the city. All homes must be searched in order to find out who committed this crime. " he said slowly. " Once we find the person, you will be allowed back into the city. "
Jinn sighed. " Well this is just great... I guess that now I'll have to skip this town completely. They won't even let me use the Pokemon Center! " he said to himself. Suddenly, a man with aqua colored hair came upon him. The trainer wore a light blue bodysuit and had a few pokeballs at his belt. " Hmmm... locked out of my own gym. I don't trust these guys. I mean, locking down an entire city! It just sounds so farfetched. "
Jinn looked to the trainer and nodded. " So you think that this is all a ruse? Even if it was, we don't have any proof! " he said to the trainer. The man looked at him. " Then lets go find some. It's better than waiting to find out about it you know? " he said with a slight smirk. Jinn looked to the man. " Alright... if you say so... " he turned to Aron. " Looks like we're going to be going on a little bit of an adventure. " he said. The trainer turned back to his new ally. " Ummm... by the way, whats your name? " The man thought for a second. " You can call me... Hawk. "
The two trainers looked out in the front of the city. Two supposed police officers were guarding the gate. Jinn looked at them a bit uneasily. " Are you sure they are trying to trick us? Those police officers look pretty authentic to me. " he said unsure about this whole thing. Hawk turned to him. " Even if they are the real deal, doesn't mean the department here is corrupt. " he said as he pulled off a pokeball. " Hmmm... we'll need a distraction. Got anything we can use in that bookbag of yours? "
Jinn looked at Hawk and thought for a second. " Well... I have some balloons I supposed to sell, but I guess we can use a few. " he said. The gym leader nodded. " That will work. Alright... now while the guards are distracted by my Pokemon... we'll sneak in. you got that? " Jinn nodded to his ally. " No problem... lets do it. " Hawk nodded and opened his pokeball, releasing a small Pidgey. He then tied the balloon's around the Pokemon's wings. " Alright then... distract those guards. We'll come back for you. " The Pokemon nodded, looking at it's trainer obediently. " Pidg... " it said as the Pokemon took off into the air, zooming by the two guards.
As the two guards looked up, they spotted the Pidgey. " Well, theres somethin you don't see everyday... " one pointed out. The other nodded. " Yeah... whats a Pidgey doing around here anyways..." The two shrugged as Hawk and Jinn quickly snuck by the two Team Rocket grunts and into the city. The green haired trainer turned back to Hawk. " Thanks... but now what? This place is probably swarming with rockets... " he said a bit nervously. The gym leader turned to him. " Don't worry about it. We can take them if we have to. " he said. The man then walked off, heading north towards the Pokemon Center. Jinn quickly followed. As the two walked inside, they saw a woman covered in jewelry and make-up. She was wearing a policewoman outfit, but that didn't seem to be who she really was. " Well... now that we got control of the city, we can find out more about those little ol Deoxys Gems.Giovanni sure is a genius... I mean comin up with this wonderful plan to summon that sweet lil Pokemon and use it to take over all existance. " she smiled, not realizing she had just told the intruder everything. Hawk sighed. " Hmmm... the pretty ones are never too bright. " he said as he turned around motioning to Jinn.
The trainer quickly ran over to Hawk. " So... what are you doing here? This doesn't sound like a good time to heal your pokemon. " he said. The man shook his head. " No... I overheard something about Team Rocket from one of their less competent soldiers. Something about... the Deoxys Gems. " he said. Okage looked at him in a bit of shock. " No... the Deoxys Gems... " he looked voer, a grim look on his face. " Hawk... we have to stop them... if we don't... "
Suddenly before he could say anything else, a huge man picked both of unsuspecting trainers up, lifting them into the air. " Hmmm... looks like we have guests... the boss will be glad to meet you two... "
