Chapter 65: Porygon2: Pokémon Boogaloo

Saffron City. The biggest City in Kanto. I wanted to take an opportunity to look around.

The highlight was the Magnet Train. This Bullet Train is brand new and can go from Saffron City to Goldenrod City in an hour. You need a pass to road though.

I spotted a small house under the Station. I went in and saw a little girl. She was crying. "Excuse me. Next time you are in Vermillion City, could you go to the Fan Club and get my lost doll? I left it there." I said I would.

I then went to check out Silph Co. This building was humungous. But there was a problem; it was closed but didn't seem like it. The doors were locked but the lights were on.

I banged on the door. A secretary poked her head out the door. "Sorry sir, we are not offering tours at this time." She got a good look at me. "Champion Ethan! Maybe you could help us". She opened the door for me.

She took to a small lab. "No use" said one of the IT workers. "This is real bad." They all saw me. "The Champion!" he said and rushed over to me. "My name is Tanner. The woman who let you in is my sister Callie. We are so glad you are here." He took me over to the computer. "We have a real problem. It's a glitch."

He clicked on a file and it started flashing. "Hello. We are Team Rocket. If you are reading this, then out plan has worked. We planted this Virus during our raid in Saffron City 3 years ago. We are slowly getting all your information from Silph Co. What can you do?"

"Team Rocket" Callie said, cautiously. "I think we should use it." Tanner stood up. "But Callie, its new." He looked at the computer screen, which now had a little character waggling his finger with Giovanni's head saying that he didn't say the magic word. "Well it will be a test run and a half. Ethan, you are going inside a computer."

Tanner threw a Pokeball and out came a pink and blue Pokémon. It looked like a Porygon but was smoother.

Porygon2

216

Normal Type

Virtual Pokémon

2'00" (0.6 m)

71.7 lbs (32.5 kg)

Further research enhanced its abilities. Sometimes, it may exhibit motions that were not programmed.

Evolved from Porygon when traded holding an Up Grade.

"Porygon had the ability to travel through cyberspace, so we made an evolution to make it more powerful" Callie mentioned. "Hold on to it." I did. I grabbed its leg. "Entering cyberspace in 3, 2-" Porygon2 suddenly went in.

I looked around me. I was in cyberspace. Programmes were everywhere as far as the eye could see. " Sorry about that". Tanner's voice seemed to echo throughout. "Like the Pokedex said, it will do things that were not programmed, making it unpredictable. All you just need to do is find the glitch and take it down."

I got my Pokeballs at the ready. "Your Pokeballs wont work here. You will have to use Porygon2" Callie said.

Me and Porygon2 wandered around confused. Where would we find the Virus? "Try the emails" Callie suggested. We went over there.

There is was. The Virus. It was a giant red R. It noticed us. It was time to battle not a Pokémon, but a piece of malware.

The virus seemed to glitch the world around us. Porygon2 was feeling the pain to. I had Porygon2 use Zap Cannon on the Virus. The Virus stopped doing everything around us. It was paralyzed. "Great job!" Tanner noted. "Whilst its paralyzed, I will set up a firewall. It will get red hot, so might want to get out of there. I will give you 1 minute."

I told Porygon2 to do so, but instead, Porygon2 used Psybeam on me. "What is happening?" Callie asked. "Porygon2 isn't experiencing unprogrammed behaviour, its code has been corrupted. It's part of Team Rocket now." Callie was worrying. "Well we need to put this firewall up. Ethan. Jump onto Porygon2 and we will send you out."

I jumped at Porygon2, which continued firing Psybeams. I with took them and jumped. At the last minute, we were transported out.

Callie and Tanner ran over to me. "Ethan! Are you alright?!" I got up and noticed Porygon2. "Well, its still far from perfect. We have another job to do as well. Clean its code. Ethan, thanks a lot. Porygon2 still needs a lot of work, but at least it can somewhat stop viruses."

Computers are confusing.
