Lucian and Galen caught the first boat to Castelia. As soon as they got there they resumed their search for Team Plasma.

"This city is big so stay close." Galen said.

Lucian couldn't argue. Galen has been here before, but this was is first time. It was not only the largest city in Unova, but one of the largest cities in the world. They went to Route Four, and while they didn't find Team Plasma, Lucian did find a Miccino. He named her Bland.

They walked past the gym and were stopped by Iris.

"Are you two Reshkari? Are you looking for Team Plasma?" She asked.

"Yes." Lucian said.

"Burgh also went looking for Team Plasma. I think they went to the sewer. You can follow me if you like."

Lucian and Galen looked at each other. Neither of them trusted Iris, but she was there only led. With no other choice they followed her. They arrived at the sewer and went in.

"I'll stay by the entrance and catch them if they try to flee." Iris said.

"Alright." Galen said. "Keep your guard up. This could be a trap."

"I'll be surprised if it isn't a trap." Lucian said.

To their surprise, and relief, they found two Team Plasma grunts.

"Stop! You are under arrest!" Galen shouted.

"Ha! You have no authority! You Reshakri haven't had any real authority for ages! We'll send you crying empty handed!" The grunts sent out their Pokémon. Galen and Lucian sent out their Pokémon. Together their Pokémon manged to take them out.

"What are you planning?!" Galen demanded.

"Like we'd say anything." One of the grunts said.

"Gehtsis will kill us if we say anything." The other said. "He hasn't been quite the same after his son betrayed him."

"You're going to die anyway, so why difference does it make?" Galen said.

"Exactly." A grunt said. "What difference does it make? Saying something won't save our lives. By remaining silent we will ensure to our allies will want avenge us. We'll be heroes!"

"I don't think we're going to get anything from them." Lucian said.

Galen sighed. "I think you're right."

"Nice going you two." Burgh said as he walked over. "I will take them for you."

Galen grumbled. "I guess we have no choice."

"That was an impressive battle. The way you brought out your Pokémon's power was a sight to behold."

Everyone looked and saw a strange man in a lab coat. He walked past without another word. Lucian and Galen frowned. The man's Aura was very strange. It seemed muddled. They ignored it. They gave Burgh the Plasma grunts and went to find some Pokémon.

In the Castelia Sewer Lucian caught a Zubat. He named him Toxic. In the Relic Passage he found a Rattata. He named him Normal. In Castelia City he found a Petilil and named it Grass.

Lucian spent the next few days training. During which Boring evolved into Watchog. Worm evolved into Swadloon then Leavanny. Toxic evolved into Golbat and then Crobat. When his team was ready he went to the gym.

"I'll meet you at the Pokémon Center after my battle." He told Galen.

"Alright. Call me if anything happens." Galen said.

When he got the gym Burgh was quivering with excitement.

"I've been waiting for you." Burgh said. "My bug Pokémon are eager for some blood. Blood that I will use to paint a picture of my victory!"

Lucian was disgusted. He couldn't let someone like Burgh win. Lucian sent out Toxic. Burgh sent out Swadloon. Toxic used Wing Attack to cut right through Swadloon.

"Ack!" Burgh yelped. He sent out Dwebble next. Lucian switched to Magnet. Dwebble used Smack Down, but it bounced off. Magnet used Thunder Shock to break Dwebble's Sturdy. It followed up with Mirror Shot. Dwebble stopped moving.

"Umm… Leavanny." Burgh said.

Lucian switched back to Toxic. He copped off Leavanny's head with Wing Attack.

"You beat my bugs." Burgh said. He sighed. "I guess I'll be using their blood to paint about my loss. Here's you badge."

Lucian accepted the Insect Badge. With another badge under his belt he took the rest of the day to let his Pokémon relax. Galen joined him and the two worked on Lucian's Aura abilities.
