"Hey! Wait up! Where are you going?" shouted both Jennys, as they struggled to keep up. When finally they caught up with Tom, They were about to fall over. They were panting heavily. Tom had stopped at the coast.
"Give me your binoculars," demanded Tom. The first Jenny, still trying to catch her breath started to rummage through her bag. She pulled out some binoculars and gave them to Tom. He peered through them for a minute are so and finally pointed and said, "There. We need to go there."
"That's just a big rock," said the second Jenny. She snatched the binoculars from Tom, and looked through them. "Oh, now I see an entrance," said the second Jenny. She gave the binoculars back to the first Jenny.
"That was Team Magma's hideout. No one knows why they all of a sudden abandoned it. I read that anyone who goes in doesn't come out. It's been baffling everybody for the past two weeks or so. It is a strong possibility that the Pokemon Protectors are in there," Tom explained. He started to search along the coast. He came across a rock path that conveniently made a path directly to the hideout. Tom climbed across followed by the two Jennys. Almost immediately there was proof that some one was in the hideout. Six Pokemon, Nidorina, Bulbasaur, Flaaffy, Exeggutor, Zangoose, and Electabuzz, were playing in front of the entrance. When they saw Tom and the two Jennys, they immediately stopped playing and started to growl. Tom, assuming this meant battle, released his Weezing and Walrein, while the two Jennys released their Growlithes.
Nidorina started to run for Walrein. "Walrein, use Ice Beam," commanded Tom. Walrein's Ice Beam missed Nidorina and hit the ground right in front of Nidorina. Nidorina slipped and fell into the water. It was splashing and squealing it was drowning.
"Growlithe use Fire Blast on Exeggutor," Growlithe first had to move out of the way of Electabuzz's Electric Punch, but used Fire Blast on Exeggutor. It fell with a light "thud".
Bulbasaur used Leech Seed on a Growlithe. The first Jenny went to rip off the roots, but as soon as she touched it she started to have the life sucked out of her to. She quickly withdrew her hand. The other Growlithe used ember on the seeded Growlithe which burned off the Leech Seed. There was no time for thanks; Bulbasaur had started to use Razor Leaf on the two Growlithes. The two responded with a Fire Blast which knocked out Bulbasaur.
Meanwhile, Flaaffy had used Zap Cannon on Weezing. "Are you going to take that from a Flaaffy?" shouted Tom. "Use sludge on the sheep!" Weezing used sludge and hit Flaaffy square in the face. Flaaffy had to wipe out the sludge from its eyes, while Walrein used Aurora Beam and knocked out Flaaffy. Zangoose started to use Fury Swipes on Weezing. By instinct, Weezing used Smokescreen, and got away. Weezing used sludge on Zangoose and then Zangoose got poisoned and slowly weakened, eventually fainting.
Electabuzz used Thunder Punch on Walrein. Walrein quickly fainted. Weezing and the two Growlithes ganged up on Electabuzz. It was hard to tell what Pokemon used what attack, but one Growlithe and the Electabuzz fainted.
"Wow, that was fun and exhilarating," said Tom, as they entered the hideout. They followed a sign that had an arrow pointing up and said "Balcony". At the top, they could see people having a meeting. They were all positioned around a table. At the head, was a tall man wearing a black drench coat. He was talking.
"… and so that will be the plan. Any objections? Anybody see any flaws?" said the man in a hoarse voice. No body spoke. "Fine then," he said again. "Martha!" a short plump woman came into the room. "Tell my Pokemon that play time is over," said the man.
"Yes Lord Leroy," squawked Martha. She rushed out of the room to retrieve Lord Leroy's Pokemon. Tom and the two Jennys looked at each other. Fear was in their eyes. Any minute now Martha would come back and report that the Pokemon had been knocked out. Sure enough, Martha ran back into the room. "Lord Leroy, your Pokemon have been killed, and one can't be found!" exclaimed Martha.
Lord Leroy ran outside, along with the other people whom were sitting at the table. Another minute have passed and they came back. "So you tell me what happened to my Pokemon eh? Well throw him in the Jail along with the other scum we have found lurking around here," shouted Lord Leroy. Two people carrying a rather nerdy looking man took him off to a corridor that had a sign that said "Jail". The rest of the people all sat around the table again. "Put Order 15 into effect," said Lord Leroy.
A woman got up from the table, "Yes sir," she said, and ran off into another hall. For the next ten minutes or so Lord Leroy and the people at the table discussed topics. As the conversation carried on Tom and the two Jennys were sure that the people below them were the Pokemon Protectors. The woman that got up from the table earlier came back. "Status report," said Lord Leroy.
"Every thing going according to what was planned," said the lady. After that the meeting ended and everybody left the room. Tom and the two Jennys left the hideout. It was lightly raining. When outside, the first Jenny said, "We have to go back to Ever Grande City." They went back to Lilycove City. There on the beach was the red boat that said S. S. Something in silver letters. Next to it was a lifeless Nidorina, just floating there. They knew it was the one thatWalrein made slip into thewater.Tom and the two Jennys looked at each other and began to run for the city. Once there, it wasn't long until they ran into Capt. Henry.
"Yarr there ye are. Ready?" asked Capt. Henry.
"Ya we have to go back to Ever Grande City," said Tom. "Why are you here so early, we never called you?"
"I wanted to go sight seein'," replied Capt. Henry. They all got into the boat and set sail for Ever Grande City. While passing Mossdeep City, they saw smoke and heard screams of terror. Everybody thought it was justa fire, except the constant "bangs" that kept going off. Tom, the two Jennys and Capt. Henry were all confused.
