Jesse, Meowth, Arbok, Wheezing, Lickitung, Victreebel, Zubat, and Staryu all made it to the Stolen Pokemon Storage room without incident. The door was locked, but a Double-Edge attack from Staryu reduced the heavy wooden door to splinters. They all crowded into the room. It was huge with racks of hundreds of pokeballs.
"Well, let's get to work," Jesse said walking over to the nearest rack. The others did likewise each picking a different rack. Jesse went down row after row opening pokeballs. The room, as big as it was, was crowded with pokemon. Some pokemon just stood around while others helped in freeing the others. They had knocked over some of the empty racks to make room. They were almost done when a deep voice yelled to them.
"Don't move or I'll AHHH!" the Team Rocket member exclaimed as hundreds of pokemon attacked him at once. Without further interruption, they freed all the pokemon.
"Now let's go get our oppressors!" Meowth exclaimed. As if that were a battle cry, the pokemon charged out of the room. Some of the larger pokemon had to widen the corridor to get through. As they charged back to the main hall, Jesse hoped that James was all right in his secret mission.
James ran along countless empty corridors and stairways until he reached the one he was looking for. MAINTENANCE AREA! RESTRICTED! AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY! DANGER! The door had an electronic lock on it, but with some quick hot-wiring the door opened. James quickly entered and closed the door. The low rumbling of heavy machinery filled these hallways. The walls in the maintenance corridors left the wiring bare for easy access.
James searched among these wires until he found a long thick black one that looked like the power cable. James picked his way through tubes and wires that littered the floor while following the power cord. He stopped only to pick up a large metal wrench before moving on. The wrench would suit his purposes perfectly. After going down more hallways and more staircases, he reached the end of the cable. GENERATOR ROOM! RESTRICTED! AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY! DANGER! HIGH VOLTAGE! PROCEED WITH CAUTION! An electronic lock also guarded this door but with fast finger work, it opened.
The generators' loud roar met him as he stepped inside. The main generator stood high before him with five or six auxiliary generators surrounding it. He walked into the main generator's monitoring room and searched until he found a large red button. The Emergency Cut-Off switch. He pressed the button. The main generator went silent and all the lights went out. It was eerily quiet for a few seconds before the auxiliary generators kicked in and the lights returned. James then walked out of the main generator's monitoring room and walked over to two short stumps on the generator. These stumps were the positive and negative power couplings. They were necessary for any generator to run, but if the wrong energy went through the wrong conduit, then you had a real big mess on your hands. There was the clicking of a gun behind him then a voice.
"I thought that one of you invaders had come down here and I guess I was right," the Rocket behind him said, "Good bye." James threw the heavy wrench to the side. Startled, the Rocket fired off a shot at the flying wrench. This distraction gave James just the right amount of time. James' leg lashed out in an old street-fighting move that caught the Rocket in the knees. The Rocket fell backwards and his head hit the floor with a loud crack leaving him out cold. James retrieved the wrench and went back to the couplers.
Sticking the wrench through a mass of wires, he connected the two couplers. He walked back into the monitoring room and keyed for generator start up. After a sudden shut down, the computer would go through a five-minute check before starting the main generator back up. James ran through the doors and up hallways and stairways back towards the main hall. He hoped that they would get out in time.
In the main hall, Brock noticed that all the lights went for a few seconds but the light from the battle showed him enough. They were losing. If Misty, Jesse, James, and Meowth didn't come back soon he would have to retreat leaving them on their own. Come on guys; get back here.
