Author's Note: So I have a few ideas as to where this story is going to go. At this point, unpredictability is a constant. Anything can happen. In a way, it's exciting to me and I hope that everyone is enjoying this as well.


POKéMON GO

Chapter Five: The Error

"I can't believe that this is what happens what when a mobile app gets a hiccup. A hiccup caused by magic. Magic, of all things!" Jerry said pacing around the campsite. He then gave a scoff. "I don't care how it's caused personally. I'm suing Niantic!"

"What's Niantic?" Red asked.

Jerry gave a huge sigh. "Never mind."

"Yeah, you don't want any more of our universe mumbo-jumbo. God knows, you're already dealing with enough." Roger said sitting on a large rock.

Red, now looked impatient. He stood up now. "Look, I just don't know what more we can do just by sitting here. I say we keep moving."

"Dude, we're trying to think of the next approach here. Right now, we got a camera, a nuclear-necklace, a heiroglyph-scope-thingy and a guy with a pokémon now. And we don't even know what to do with them."

Red pensive about the list of things Jerry had spoken of. "This is for preparation."

"Yeah, but preparation for what?"

"For the future. What if we can't stop what's happening?" Red asked carefully.

"Oh, you're quite the optimist..." Jerry muttered.

"He's right..." Jack came up to them. He had been far ahead somewhere. But now he was back. "I don't like to think about it but...if this does go down. Both our worlds merging. You think people-?"

"Seriously?! This is reality, Jack...funny-looking characters here?!" Jerry said. "Say what you want about Pikachu. He's cute as a button, sure but what about handling creatures such as a Rayquaza, Groudon or hell! Even Mewtwo!"

"You guys know about Mewtwo?!" Red asked them.

"Dude, again...we know everything there is to know about Pokémon. Point is...not a lot of people are going to be ready."

"Yeah, you can imagine the National Guard having a field day...every day." Roger said.

Jack sighed. Jerry had a point.

"Then we got to keep moving. Stop all this before people get seriously, seriously hurt. Now look, I have a theory that I want to test out."

"Mind sharing with the class?" Jerry asked waiting as patiently as he could.

"We need to go to the next town." Jack simply said.

"Say again?" Jerry asked.

"Which town?"

"I don't how subtle I can put this but please bear with me. Think of the Gameboy games. Think of the animé. And on the GO app itself, a new feature was about to be installed. A feature that lets us follow the same walkthrough that Red or even...Ash Ketchum took in completing his pokémon trainer journey. Think about it guys. We started in Machida...or Pallet Town, rather. What's the next town after?"

"You don't think-?" Roger was getting it.

"Viridian City." Red said giving Jack a strong nod in acknowledgement.

"I think eventually we'll make use of these things provided from Brit's app. I think eventually we'll get even more. Not just clues."

"Nice to know we'll have our hands full." Roger said miserably.

Unbeknownst to the whole gang, a few feet away, an elusive Brit listened to Jack's theory behind a tree. She took it with thoughtful consideration. She gave a firm nod to herself and gave one final look at Jack and the rest before making a big decision. Leaving the group.


The well-dressed man had stood in silence and waited. Patiently. The smugness on his face never waivered. Satoshi's face however, registered as beyond shocked, frozen rather and the fact that he spoke once more indicated that there was still some response from his body.

"This is impossible!" were the only words to generate from his lips. "This can't be...!"

"Yes. I can only imagine what great surprise this is for you. Your...mere creations taking on a life of their own as the saying goes. Running amok, as we speak by the way. Only a few so far but more...will come. You really are...the spitting image of a certain boy that for some time has become the 'bane' of my existence. Do not be alarmed. I wish to take no vengeance upon you. Please, Mr. Tajiri...take this development as a sign of triumph for you."

"Triumph?"

"Or soon to be anyway. Our triumph, rather. To recap, you created something special. You created a franchise. Cards. Games. Toys. Shows. Books. Now, it's on the palm of everyone's hand. Hence, it is everywhere in this world. You inspired the making of an application as well. An application that brought me forth. You see, you created me to be the so-called evil man who is destined to capture and control every Pokémon in existence. The villain of the story. I intend to change that."

"What do you mean? How? What do you want from me?!"

"One thing at a time. I don't enjoy putting all my cards on the table. Not this early in the game. Besides, this plan of mine is still yet to be formulated. Needs to be fine-tuned." he smiled. "No. What I want from you is simple."

"What?"

"Just do what you've been doing all your life, Satoshi...create." With that Giovanni left Satoshi's home.

Satoshi remained stunned and at a loss of what to do.


"So when are we leaving?" Red said collecting his gear. So was Jerry and Jack.

"As soon as Roger gets Brit. One thing though..." Jack said and took out a certain orb from his bag.

Staring at the pokéball in his hand for what seemed like the infinite time, Jack finally made a decision.

"I better release it. It's more trouble than I think. Maybe it can-" Jack was then cut off.

"How do you know that would undo what you've already done though, bro?" Jerry asked. "For the umpteenth time, the app knows you got it. Now you got to deal with it."

"I don't know but I can't just keep this thing." Jack said.

"I don't think you should release it." Red said standing next to him.

"Why?"

"You could train it. Raise it. Use it as a companion."

"Like an actual Pokémon?!" Jack asked stunned.

"Jack, I told you. You have the qualities of a true Pokémon trainer and that in turn can lead you to one day become a Pokémon master."

"For real?" Jerry looked wide-eyed. "Him! Like Ash Ketchum?"

"Jack...you have great potential." Red said. "And speaking as champion of the Indigo Plateau, I know a true pokémon trainer when I see one."

Jack protested. "But I don't want to be a Pokémon trainer! Or a Pokémon master! I just want to be me."

"Jack...you're in this. 'We're' in this. Remember? Whether you like it or not." Red told him. "You guys went in on this little adventure because you wanted to help me. I see you as a great partner to me, Jack."

"Guys!" Roger came running to the three of them.

"What happened?"

"Brit's gone. I can't find her anywhere." Roger shook his head.

Jack was in disbelief. "What?!"

"Well this whole thing's getting better and better, now we got a missing persons case. This is just great! Where was the last place she'd been?" Jerry asked.

"By the lake. And I found this..." Roger handed Jack Brit's smartphone.

Jack checked it. He looked it over. It looked intact.

"Why would she leave it?" Jack frowned.

"Why would 'she' leave?" Roger shrugged.

"I don't know but we have to find her. She could be in trouble."

"Guys...we need to move on." Red reminded them. "I feel like time is running out here."

"We're not leaving without Brit. You can go if you want. But we're going to go look for her. You said it yourself. We're all in this together whether you like it or not..." Jack said to him.

He, Jerry and Roger made their ways into whatever path the woods led them. Eventually, Red followed the group in reluctance. They had been walking for minutes now. Roger kept voicing his nervousness. Everyone ignored him as always.

Red stopped when he felt something. Something shaking. Something on his gearbelt. He gave a sigh. "Hold on, guys..."

"What's up?"

Red took out his pokéball. It was the thing that shook. "Apparently he's been cooped up too long now. My Clefairy."

He threw the ball to the ground and it popped open. A glow burst and the small figure materialized. Roger was ecstatic. Once again, the pinkish balloon-shaped creature chirped out is name repeatedly with a happy expression.

"Man...it looks so cool." Roger said with much excitement.

"Promise you won't do any unnecessary fussing pal, OK?" he asked it.

"Clefairy!" it piped up giving a peace sign with its small fingers.

"How long you had that, man?" Jerry asked as they walked once more.

"For a while now. It's been a great companion."

"Can it fight?" Roger asked, too eagerly.

"It can hold its own. But against bigger and high level Pokémon however? No."

Jack was about to try something but had to be careful. "Listen, Red. I don't know that much about you but from what I've heard is that..." he then stopped knowing it might have been something insensitive. But he was curious.

"Yes?" Red waited.

Jack cleared his throat. "You uh...you once had a Pikachu."

Red stopped. So did the group. He looked rather upset. He gave a weary sigh.

"You did?!" Roger asked him. "Where is he? You got him?"

"Dude!" he smacked him in the head. "Can't you see he doesn't want to talk about it?"

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked. I was just making conversation." Jack said quickly. "Forget I brought it up."

"It's fine. He was the greatest friend I ever had, Pikachu, Always there when I needed him. And I was always there when 'he' needed me...but one day, he umm..."

"You lost him?" Jack asked.

Red nodded.

"I'm sorry."

A rustling was then heard off in the distance. Everyone turned to look at where the sound originated from.

"Let me guess: surprise number eleven?" Roger said nervously, cowering behind the rest of the guys.

"Clefairy?" the creature blinked.

"Shh..." Red patted him on the forehead.

"It's nearby." Jerry whispered.

"Is it another wild pokémon?" Roger asked.

"Hold on..." Jack looked at Brit's phone and went on the app which directed him to the game's map.

A route was formed in what looked to be the outline of the forest they were in.

"That's us."

A blue dot appeared and at the edge of the screen which map-wise meant that it was far away in less than a mile, Brit's avatar appeared. But to their blue dot, a swirling icon was close by. A pokémon.

"We got something coming right at us."

The rustling intensified. The bushes ahead shook. Suddenly a glow of energy erupted. A large bubble holding in someone appeared. Large winds also occurred as well as a roaring of the glow. It practically blinded the group.

"What the-?!" Roger shouted.

At the same time, Jack noticed something on Brit's phone. A message on the game app saying something in a box below on the screen. Professor Root's image was seen as well.

'Take out camera now and shoot!' it said.

"The camera!" Jack shouted over the noise. To Red.

"What?"

"Red! The camera! Take a picture of it! NOW! Quick!"

Red took off his backpack and placed it on the ground, went over his stuff inside and took out the device.

"Shoot!"

Red did so. He took a few shots just in time before it disappeared completely.

"Okay...that was just random..." Roger said as he got his bearings together once more.

"I agree. What was that?" Jerry said.

"That didn't look like a pokémon. If anything it kinda reminded me of 2001: A Space Odyssey!" Roger said.

"Dude, say anything you want but no more movie references." Jerry begged him.

"It was." Jack said.

"What?" Jerry asked him.

"He's right. I saw a shadow of it..." Red spoke. "...inside that sphere. There's no doubt about it. It was him."

"Clefairy?" Clefairy asked as if asking who.

"Who was it?" Jerry asked.

The camera Red had in his hands rolled out a polaroid. Jack and the others saw it. Now he understood the purpose of the camera. It was meant as a way to know what they just encountered was. The imaged showed a blur. A shadow actually. A silhouette of someone Jack recognized.

"My word!" Roger managed to say as he looked. He too recognized the figure in the photo.

"Can't be." Jerry said.

"Yes..." Red nodded. "It's Mewtwo."


Brit kept moving. She was that determined. The last thing she wanted to do was stop. Sure, her friends would find out but she had no time. Something was happening. To her. She could feel it. She was determined because she had to find out what was wrong with her. For that, she had to harness it.

'If I get to this version of Viridian City...I can also find answers as to what's wrong with me...' she thought to herself.

Suddenly her vision changed again. The forest looked completely different. Brit in disbelief, tried to focus more but the environment kept phasing between the one she was looking at to what it looked like before. Eventually, her vision changed to normal, much to her frustration.

That was when she heard a twig snapped. It had made her stop and look around the area.

"Who's there?"

There was no response given. But Brit's instincts told her otherwise.

"I know you're out there! Whoever you are!"

"Well...well...well...who do we have here?"

Brit saw who it was and she couldn't believe it. They came out from behind a big tree. It was Kevin and Clint, each sporting a jumpsuit with a red R on their chests.

"Kevin? Clint?!" Of all the things that had surprised her greatly in this adventure, Brit thought this was the last thing to come up.

"I know, right? Small world. Of all the tourists to come across, we're glad we ran into you." Kevin said.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"We could ask the same." Kevin said smiling.

"I asked first dumbass!"

"Ooh, we got a live one, didn't we?" Clint said.

"A wild one we caught, you mean. But yeah, we know why you're here. You're here because you're the so-called 'chosen one' and are trying to save the universe."

"Maybe. Why are you guys wearing those suits? Finally letting loose on the whole comic-con experience? There's no shame." Brit said snarkily.

"Well, that should be obvious, babe. We're Team Rocket now."

"Team Rocket?" she gasped. "You guys really know about what's been going on? Did any of them come through and approach you?"

"Oh they did." Kevin nodded. "We're honorary members!"

"Who were they?"

"Oh, I think you know." Clint said.

Suddenly opera-like music erupted and smoke filled the area. Two figures rose up and stood on a boulder.

"No way...is that...?" Brit was about to ask.

"To protect the world from devastation." A woman with red hair spoke first.

"To unite all peoples within our nation." A man with purple hair spoke next.

"It is.." Brit said in awe at the sight of them. Like Red, Team Rocket were live-action. They continued with their famous motto.

"To denounce the evils of truth and love."

"To extend our reach to the stars above!"

"Jessie!"

"James!"

"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"

"Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight!"

"Meowth...!" the furry cat like creature appeared in front of Brit's face. "...that's right!"


"Mewtwo?" Roger asked the group as they continued to walk in the woods. "Mewtwo?!" he said still not believing it.

"How long are you going to keep asking that?" Jack asked him.

"Just enough to take it all in. Still can't believe it. Can you guys believe it?"

"You saw it." Jerry sighed.

"Why would he just show up out of nowhere?" Roger asked. "He didn't even say anything!"

"What would you have wanted him to say?" Red asked.

"How about what the hell we're supposed to do?"

"It's a sign. It means we're on the right track so far." Red said.

Jack then spoke up. "Look, I agree, it doesn't make sense. All we know is that we have a picture of him and we'll need it for something soon. In the meantime, we got to deal with the problem at hand. Brit. She's out here somewhere."

"I don't get it. Why would she take off without letting us know?" Jerry asked as they went deeper into the forest. Unfortunately they couldn't walk fast due to broken twigs, sticks and logs on the ground. Jack and the others had to step over them one at a time.

"I think I know why...she probably overheard us talking. She wants to go to Viridian City."

"By herself?" Red asked.

"Yeah again...where is the Viridian City in our reality?" Roger asked.

"That I don't know. We just have the app to guide us. But what I do know is that Brit can't have gone far. I also see her footsteps. We just got to follow them."

"But how can Brit even know where Viridian City is? 'We' don't even know!" Roger said. "It could be anywhere in Machida."

"Brit knows." Jack said.

"You're sure?" Red asked amazed.

"She knows more about Pokémon than me and or rather all of us, put together."

"You got to wonder about her mindset these days..." Jerry said shaking his head.

"Also, we can use Brit's phone to navigate."

"You can get in?" Red asked.

"I do. I did when we found Mewtwo."

He punched in her code to access her other apps and features. He went to her Pokémon Go app.

"I'm not even gonna ask how you know her stuff, man." Jerry said.

"We've been friends for as long as we can remember, Jerry." Jack pointed out.

"Debatable." Jerry said, giving him a look.

Jack frustrated, didn't answer.

The map on the game app popped up and it showed Brit was not that far off. In fact, she was there with a few other dots, indicating other people.

"We got a problem." Jack concluded.


"It's really you guys." Brit said in marvel. "You guys came here too."

"Plenty of us to go around, toots!" Meowth nodded. "Now...we have a few..." he counted his only three fingers. "...inquiries. So if you don't mind-"

Jessie smacked Meowth. "We'll handle the interrogation, thank you!"

"What do you want?" Brit said.

"Well, it's complicated. Rather random. I don't supposed you by any chance know or have rather the item in question-" James was then interrupted.

"We want the amulet! There! Is that so hard to say?" Jessie looked at James.

'They're after it too?' she thought in amazement. "I don't know what you're talking about. What amulet?"

"I think she's lying." Kevin said.

"You think?" Meowth smacked him across the head. "Of course, she is. After all, we dealt with this before. Look, cute-stuff, if you don't give us that amulet, bad stuff will happen."

"So now you're threatening me? Well, that's not surprising, given your reputations." Brit said.

"Oh, you've heard of us too? Tell me, what stories did you enjoy about us?" James said interested.

"Will you stop moving your lips for just one minute?" Jessie turned back to Brit. "Look, we know you have it. All you hero-wannabe types do. So you might as well give it to us..." she said with her hand stretched out to her.

"I don't deal with people who threaten."

"We didn't threaten!" James said.

"We do!" Jessie said and raised a pokéball. She tossed it to the ground in front of Brit and out unleashed was a tall, cyan creature with a soft body with closed eyes.

"Wobbuffet." Brit said in awe.

"You know your pokémon, very good. Now tell us before-"

"Before what?" Brit asked bravely. "A wobbuffet won't attack unless it's provoked and I haven't issued a threat."

"Think again!" Kevin said. "We told it beforehand that you pose a threat to the planet."

"Pretty crafty huh?" Clint asked.

"Why? Why would you do that? Do this?!"

"We're that smart." Kevin shrugged. "You're not!"

"Kevin. Clint. You two have no idea what you're doing siding with these guys!"

"They'll give us everything we ever wanted." Clint said.

"You're out of your depth here, guys! If you were idiots before, you're even bigger idiots now!" Brit shouted.

"OK, OK, OK, enough with the late adolescent teen drama and get back to business. Now how about you talk before Wobbie here..." Jessie patted him lovingly. "...gives you a big, healthy dose of Amnesia!" she growled.

"It can do that, you know." Kevin said smugly.

"You guys are crazy!" Brit shouted.

"So's your boyfriend Jack given what he did to us in that bathroom!" Clint said.

"What?" she asked. He then thought of what Jack refused to elaborate on that one bathroom incident at their high school. Days before they graduated. It was also something they brought up that day at the convention. Jack shied away from that topic.

"You don't know?" Kevin asked her slyly.

"Know what?"

"I said quiet! All of you!" Jessie shouted.

"Yes!" James sized her up now. "Are you gonna spill the beans or what?"

"Spill! Spill!" Meowth said coming up to her as well.

"I'm not telling you anything." Brit said seriously.

"Well, that's surprising..." Meowth said slumped.

"Well then...don't say I didn't warn you. Wobbuffett! Amn-!"

Jessie never finished. She was interrupted by the fast arrival of a gust of wind, strong enough to almost drive them away.

"What the-?!" Clint said bracing himself.

"HECK?!" Meowth finished for him as he was thrown backward.

"It's a windstorm!" James said being pushed away. "I didn't even check the weather conditions today, sorry!"

The Wobbuffett shivered and its arms flung around.

Brit saw something in the air. Something headed towards them. It looked like a dragon. Only it wasn't. It was gray and seemed to be made out of rock.

"Aerodactyl." she said.

"Catch you guys at a bad time?!" Red asked down to them. Jack and the others were riding on top of the creature, on its back rather. Roger looked horrified and was the only one screaming. The Aerodactyl landed and the others got off of it. It flapped its wings continuously driving Team Rocket back. The force of the wind grew stronger and stronger. Brit managed to get to the others.

"Well, this was short-lived..." Meowth said as they were blown away.

"Hey, help!" Clint shouted.

"Stop this!" Kevin also shouted.

Brit knew what was going to happen.

"TEAM ROCKET BLASTING OFF AGAIN!"

They were all thrown miles away to the other side of the forest.

"You alright?" Jack told Brit.

"Yeah..." she said breathlessly.

"Alright, back together again?" Jerry asked. "Then let's move."

"Yeah, let's go. Everyone on." Red said as he got on the Aerodactyl's back.

"This should be interesting." Brit said getting behind Jack while the others got on as well. The Aerodactyl then rose and flew into the sky.


It wasn't long before the group settled in an area outside the forest. A small town from the looks of it. Red summoned his Aerodactyl back into his pokéball. The group turned to Brit, who looked hesitant in explaining her actions.

"You mind answering a certain question: what were you thinking?!" Jerry asked her.

"Jerry..." Jack said.

"Dude!"

"No, he's right. I'll answer." Brit said.

Everyone waited.

"I heard you guys wanted to go to Viridian City. So I did. I wanted to end this myself."

"Why would you do this?" Jack said.

"I guess I wasn't thinking."

"I was worried about you." Jack said.

Brit looked at him incredulously.

"We...were worried about you." Jack corrected himself.

"Smart decision leaving your phone, I gotta say." Roger said. "Genius. It's not like you needed to call us if you were in trouble."

"Why did you leave your phone, Brit?" Jack asked.

"Yeah about that. There's something I need to tell you guys..." Brit asked.

"What is it?" Jack asked. The worry set in.

"The other day when we were at the store. The uh...Pokéstop. My vision changed."

"What do you mean your 'vision changed'?" Jerry frowned.

"I mean...the store. Look it's hard to explain but in my eyes, it changed from a dirty abandoned building to a better looking one and not just better looking, it looked new. It looked futuristic. It was an actual Pokéstop. I don't know how it happened but it did. I think it means I'm chosen."

Red looked stunned but was the only one to finally speak. "You're looking into my world now?"

"I think that's what it is. I didn't need the phone anymore. I destroyed it."

"Destroyed it?" Jerry frowned.

"Yeah, I made a decision. There's no way to fix it now. But it's for the best. I want this to happen."

"What 'what' to happen?" Roger asked.

"I want this world to merge with ours."

"Excuse me?" Jerry asked.

"I've always wanted to be a pokémon trainer. It's been my dream. Now that this it's happening, my dream will finally become a reality."

"No, Brit..." Jack said sadly.

"Yes! I want this to happen. You all want this to happen. You love Pokémon!"

"Not like this." Jack said.

"He's right, Brit. Honestly, I'm disappointed. This is selfish of you. You're putting people in danger. You've lost yourself in this fantasy."

"Well, that's what it's becoming anyway, isn't it? And I want to be a pokémon trainer, Red! Like you. Like all those like you." Brit said desperately. "I have what it takes! Teach me!"

"A true Pokémon trainer is someone who knows patience, skill, wisdom and above all else, having an acceptance of reality. Because without it, you lose yourself in the world. You become reckless, selfish and lost." Red stated. "You don't know yourself as well as you think, Brit. Now please stop this and get your mind back on track."

"The phone's destroyed. There's nothing to do about it now."

"No it's not..." Jack frowned. "It's not destroyed. What are you talking about?" he held her phone in his hand and waved it.

Brit looked astounded. She actually looked horrified. "No...NO! It can't be! I...I broke it on the rock!"

"Say what?" Jerry asked.

"I smashed it on the rock. It was broken in pieces!"

Everyone looked stunned.

"You're saying it put itself back together? That's some insurance policy you got there..." Roger asked.

"It's got to be due to that strange energy that it was exposed to that day at the convention." Jack said.

"This is so surreal." Brit said.

"Everything apparently surprises us." Roger said. "My guess and I'm just spitballing here...is that there might be a chance to fix this. That's why the phone is still up and running."

"That's another theory to go on." Jack said.

"So you're having strange visions and now Team Rocket's here..." Red said pacing and going over everything that has transpired.

"Along with those jerks Clint and Kevin. Who knows what they told them about us?"

"I must say we're not doing as well as I hoped." Red said.

"Understatement." Jerry nodded.

"Look, I'm sorry. I know I cost us some time. It's just...I'm in a weird place right now. I have no excuse." Brit said sadly.

"The thing of it is, Brit...is I'm not sure I trust you." Red said. "You said you'd help but then you pull this..."

"I'll do whatever it takes to make it up to you."

"Make it up to us, you mean." Red corrected her.

"Right..." Brit said nodding. "Are we going to keep moving or what?"

"Yeah...where's Viridian City?" Jack said.

"Well, for one thing we're standing on it."

"We are?" Roger gasped.

"And the second?" Red asked.

"I can see it..." Brit said marveling at the entrance of the town. "I can actually see it..."


Perfectly content with how things were transpiring, the young man decided to treat himself. He paid no mind to the daily news that TVs in stores were displaying about the current events. Anomalies. Incidents. Bizarre encounters. He knew what was happening. People all over the world were panicking. They were signs. He knew that. After all, he himself was one.

Blue came through the bar and asked for a drink. He sat.

"Can you believe this?" the bartender asked Blue.

"Actually I can..."

"This world...it has its surprises." the bartender said wearily.

"What world doesn't?" Blue smiled and twirled his glass.

The bartender muttered a sardonic response to which Blue ignored before he went away cleaning the other side of the bar.

"Enjoying yourself so far?" someone called out to Blue from behind.

Blue smirking, didn't turn right away but merely drank.

"I am." he said as he finished.

Blue turned to find himself looking at the man, the leader of Team Rocket. Giovanni.

"So you've arrived..." he said harboring a disdain for the boy more and more.

"That I did. Don't tell me you're surprised?"

"I'm not. Frankly, I'm annoyed. Seeing the boy who, along with a certain other who shall not be named, defeated me and made a mockery of me a long time ago." Giovanni said.

"Yeah...they were good times, weren't they?" Blue smiled.

"I'm not here to reminisce on old affairs. I'm here to make sure you're also holding up your end."

"I am. What about you?"

"Oh, I have our...creator...under control." Giovanni smirked. "Quite the contradictory effect, isn't it?"

"A leash on God, huh? Let's see how that rollercoaster goes."

"He's frightful. He proves no threat. We're the threat. Now..."

"Yes...yes...yes..." Blue said tirelessly. "No more sounding like Dracula please. I know where it is."

"Where what is? I just want to make sure." Giovanni said.

"Where a certain...pokémon is..." Blue smiled.

Giovanni too, smiled.
