I flew on Fearow to Veilstone City and headed straight up north to the Team Galactic Veilstone HQ. There was a Grunt standing next to the giant antennae-satellite thingy in front of the building.

"There! Would you look at those antennae?"

"I don't care."

"I don't know what they do, but those are some mighty impressive antennae!"

"I don't care!"

"Oh, it's you. I've heard about you. I overheard our Commanders talking about you. I failed to stop your friend, Barry and they took my Clefairy away. My partner called it quits and moved back to his old country. Now we have one less team member. Oh wait…! Oh no. No! Please don't hurt me! I don't know anything! I don't have a storage key-BOOH!" I Steel Punched his guts and he fell to the ground writhing in pain. I walked up to him and frisked him and found a storage key in his pockets. With one last good kick to the face, I walked off towards the warehouse, remembering that there was a blocked door there.

In the warehouse, there was a Grunt guarding the door. I immobilized him, walked up to the door, and used the key, which snapped in half when I used it. The doors slid open and I noticed a set of stairs heading down into an underground pathway.

There were two Grunts guarding the pathway. I sent out Gyarados to defeat them both and then immobilized them, one at a time. I followed the pathway up the stairs and beat up the Grunt who was standing there. I ascended the stairs.

There was a female Grunt there waiting to fight me. I beat her and threw her to the ground. I saw two warp panels. Left or right? I thought. I decided to take the left path. I reappeared in another room with a computer and another panel. I took the panel and reappeared in a room with a flight of stairs. I ascended the stairs.

There was another Grunt on that level tried to oust me from the building. I ousted him from that floor and threw him down the stairs. I noticed a warp panel in the corner and took it.

There was a flight of stairs descending, so I descended the stairs. On the lower level, there was a Scientist Grunt who I also defeated. There was a flight of stairs going down into the basement where a Grunt was waiting to battle me. I defeated his Pokémon and him and found a Galactic card key. I picked it up and returned to the room where I threw the Grunt down the stairs and ascended the stairs.

On the next floor, there were three grunts there which I severely injured without killing. I used the card key on the sliding doors there. I entered a room with a bunch of generators. Probably Mars' doing, I thought while picking up TM21, Frustration.

After a while of going back and forth, not knowing where to go, I eventually just Steel Punched the wall. Bits of debris flew around me as two startled Grunts tried to defeat me with their wimpy-ass Pokémon and even their own fists.

But it failed!

With two Grunts sticking out of the ground, I advanced forth, unlocking the sliding doors with the power of my card key (and my feet).

I made it to some sort of lounge room. I took the warp panel that was there and ended up in some kind of speech room. Lots of Grunts gathered round in the room. I looked around the corner and saw Cyrus teleport in and-

"Hey! What are you doing here kid?"

"Er, I'm, uh, a new recruit! Yeah, that's it!"

"Well, get over here, recruit! You're about to miss Cyrus' speech!"

The Grunt grabbed me by the arm and pulled me into the crowd of Grunts. I instantly felt uncomfortable and claustrophobic. Then, Cyrus spoke into the mic.

"Fellow members of Team Galactic! Hear me! My name as I appear to you today is Cyrus! This world of ours is a crude one. In a word, it is incomplete. It has been, and always will be, a struggle to survive in this world. We humans and Pokémon are likewise incomplete. Because we are all lacking, we fight, we maim… it is ugly. I hate this incompleteness. That we are all incomplete, I hate it with my entire body and being. The world should be complete. The world must change. Then who will change it? Me, Cyrus. And the rest of Team Galactic. Yes, all of you. Together, we pored over myths and exposed their secrets. Together, we captured legendary Pokémon. And now, Team Galactic has obtained the energy to change the world! The power of dreams is within my-I mean our grasp! Understand it fellow members! My long-held dream world is on the verge of becoming reality. All those headed to Mt. Coronet, and those who remain here… Though our missions may differ, our hearts beat as one. Let there be glory for Team Galactic!" With that, the crowd of Grunts erupted into a loud applause.

"Master Cyrus is the greatest, am I right?" shouted the Grunt standing right next to me.

"Oh, uh, yeah. Um, go Cyrus… I guess?" No way would I ever root for Cyrus. I knew what his real objective was. He was going to create a new world, sure, but in reality, their hearts weren't gonna beat as one. He was going to become the aristocrat of the new world and he was going to force everyone to bow down to him. No way in hell was I about to let his plan work. I returned to the warp panel and ascended the stairs.

I defeated the Grunts on the level and threw them both down the stairs and noticed three warp panels this time. I took the one farthest from me and ended up in a room with yet another flight of stairs. I ascended the stairs.

I entered a very dark room and saw a sliding door. I used the key and saw Cyrus standing there.

"Cyrus. I'm gonna end your ass here. The rest of your forces are writhing in pain from the power of my fist and most of them have major injuries. I'm gonna do everything in my power to stop you from creating that world. I know what you're up to. You just want the power for yourself and I won't let you get away with it."

"So you heard my speech, I take it. You were right, child-"

"DON'T CALL ME A CHILD. I'LL END YOUR ASS HERE AND NOW WITH ONE ATTACK AND CALL IT A DAY IF YOU KEEP CALLING ME A CHILD."

"Whatever. You were right, in that I want the whole world for myself. If not, then it could never be a complete and perfect world."

"You stupid, arrogant narcissist."

"Well, it's true, isn't it?"

"What? That you're a stupid, arrogant, power-hungry narcissist?"

"Precisely. You've seen my minions, have you not?"

"Yeah, what about them?"

"Well, you've seen their weak power, correct? That is why I'm the only one who truly matters. But I know why you're truly here. You're here to save Uxie, Azelf and Mespirit, correct?"

"Uh, not exactly-"

"Humph. I was about to release them anyway. I've no need for them anymore. You want to save them, go ahead. I'm not stopping you. But actually, you. I've heard of your amazing power. You would make an excellent specimen."

"Uh I don't really care-"

"Yet you still feel the need to save your little friends? Such pitiful emotions. Pity and compassion are the fault of the human heart. But-"

"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY! I DON'T CARE AND I SAID SO ALREADY! WILL YOU FUCKING LISTEN?! I DIDN'T COME HERE TO LISTEN TO YOUR SHITTY PLANS OR TO BE MADE FUN OF! I CAME HERE TO KICK YOUR ASS BECAUSE YOU AND YOUR TEAM WERE REALLY GETTING UNDER MY SKIN! BUT YOU JUST RUN YOUR MOUTH LIKE YOU KNOW IT ALL! BUT YOU DON'T! YOU DON'T! I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET UNDER MY SKIN! TITANIUM FIST!" I used a new move I had just learned and punched Cyrus in the face with it.

Cyrus flew back, his nose broken, and his jaw cracked. I was surprised he wasn't dead. Cyrus got up, ignoring the pain and sent out his Pokémon, which I swiftly defeated like it was nothing. Then Cyrus came over to me angrily.

"You little pest! You wanna fight? Then fight me for real without using your 'metal fist' or whatever the hell you call it!" Cyrus aimed a blow for my head, which I ducked under. I uppercutted him in the chin and punched him in the gut. Then I stood still and let him feel the pain when tried to punch me in the stomach. It stung, but only for a few seconds. Cyrus on the other hand, was not doing so well. He gripped his broken wrist and left hand, screaming in pain. Finally, I slapped him across the face, leaving a red mark there. Cyrus spun around and landed on the ground.

"W-what the hell are you?!"

"I'm an avenger. I rid the world of evil after what happened to my father. Perhaps you've heard of the 'Great Charizard'?"

"Wait, did you just say the 'Great Charizard'? As in, 'Giga Charizard'? Do I know of him? Of course I know of him! Who doesn't know of him? He was a legend. But he was killed in the far regions of the south. I heard of his death, but I wasn't a part of it. You'll have to pin that on someone else."

I walked away, to another warp panel in the room. "Cyrus. Hear me out. The next time I see you getting into trouble, I'm not gonna hold back."

"Hmph. I couldn't care less. Just as long as my dream becomes a reality, I don't care. I'll just find another way to get rid of you, you monster."

"Fine. Don't say I didn't warn you." I took the warp panel out of the room.

I teleported to a long hallway, lined with power generators. At the end of the hallway, there was a room with the three lake Pokémon and Saturn who was managing a machine to drain power from each Pokémon.

"You. GET OUT!" I threw Saturn out the door and before he could react, I punched him in the face and released the three Pokémon. The Pokémon escaped, and so did I, but Saturn grabbed my ankle.

"Y-you. What have you done-OOMPH!" I knocked Saturn out with another normal punch and warped out of there using the green warp panel. I exited the building, continuing on my mission in total peace. I just went to go train a bunch with my Pokémon and getting stronger myself.

Little did I know what was going to happen to the whole region in a few hours time.
