Prologue

Pewter City- 11:45pm – Science Museum

The museum's only entrances and exits, which were the North and West entrances, we're each being guarded by two guards. Growlithe patrolled the grounds sniffing and listening to any abnormal disturbances.

In a nearby tree a figure stood on the highest branch waiting for the right moment to move. When they all had their backs turned he swung a grappling hook towards the edge of the roof and it hooked on. Swinging himself to the wall he scaled it quickly before he was noticed. Pulling the rope up he attached it to his belt. Slowly walking towards the sunroof he used a special laser and made a hole big enough for him to slide into. With a nice leap he landed on the ground smoothly and stopped in his tracks.

There we're infrared security beams everywhere. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a small crystal. Slowly bending down he placed into the main laser and they all hit each other not touching anything else. Looking across the room he found exactly what he was looking for… a pokemon fossil. He took a step forward and jumped as the alarm began to ring. He rushed over to the display case but was met with two Growlithe and a police officer a gun in hand. "Get down on the ground!" the officer yelled putting the light in his face.

Struggling to keep the thief still he managed to hand cuff him. After getting a good look at his face he gasped and picked up his walkie-talkie. "I've caught him…. Who did I catch? I just caught the world's best thief. Ash Ketchum."
