Aaron walked to a large transport helicopter that was ready to take off. Aaron walked inside and took a seat next to some of the other grunts while an admin wearing a jetpack, a flight suit, and a very high-tech pair of goggles began to speak. "The mission for today is going to be complex. We are going to a remote island with very secluded and secure citizens. They are very resistant to outside presences, and they also have very advanced technologies and advanced knowledge of history and how the world works that may have some use to us. We are going to drop you over the island so that we can spread you out. The docks and landing pads are too secure and require special clearances to use. A sky attack is very risky, but it is our only hope for getting some people on to the island. I would be lying if I didn't tell you that some of you won't make it on to the island. I have done my best to train you in flight, but I'm sure some of you will slip up and crash land, land in to the clutches of the civilians, or you'll land in the Sharpedo infested waters where you will have a minimal chance to survive their incredible speeds and sharp teeth. Then there are the air defenses which you will have to avoid. Are all of you ready?" He asked looking at his team.
"Sir, yes sir!" They all said standing up and saluting their team leader.
"Get dressed, and get ready. We'll be approaching the drop site very soon." The team leader said as two doors on the cargo helicopter opened leading to two locker rooms, one for the girls and one for the boys.
Aaron walked in and quickly got dressed. He walked out wearing a red wing suit with a black trim. The suit was a bit more high-tech, as the wings seemed to be more like a retractable glider that was strapped to Aaron's jumpsuit. Aaron also wore a pair of goggles and a helmet; on his wrist his communication watch was visible.
"We're just about over the site. Get ready to jump." The leader ordered as he slid open the door to the helicopter where everyone was met with a powerful gusting wind. Aaron watched as his teammates jumped one by one. Some of them used parachutes, others used jetpacks, and others used wing suits and gliders like him. Aaron was the last one on the helicopter and performed a sprint as he jumped out of the helicopter and began plummeting towards the island.
At a certain altitude, he activated his glider and began smoothly flying towards the island. He was met with several attacks from Pokémon being led by people from the island; they had become aware of the aerial attack and were having their Pokémon attack the people flying towards the island. Aaron swerved narrowly avoiding ice beams, flamethrowers, and solar beams while he flew closer to the island.
Aaron flew in to the jungle and landed before retracting his wings and removing his helmet and goggles. He removed his flight suit revealing a pair of black pants and a black jacket with a red trim and the Team Magma emblem on the upper left chest. The new uniform he wore was a gift from Maxie; he found it more stylish than the usual grunt attire that he wore.
Aaron his behind a tree when he heard footsteps and voices. He peeked from behind the tree and saw several grunts being led in a line by several guards and their Pokémon. "Where are the rest of you?" He asked one of the grunts.
"I don't know. This was a scatter attack." He said nervously while the guard hit him with an electrified club.
"We're going to make you pay for coming to this island." The guard said hitting him again while pushing him forward to the main city.
"I have to save them, so that we can continue the mission." Aaron thought to himself as he took a step forward snapping a twig which drew the attention of one of the guards. Aaron quickly started running as he heard the footsteps of Pokémon and more of the guards behind him.
Aaron continued to run through the incredibly lush jungle; he heard them growing closer to him, and he had no way of navigating the jungle while the guards most likely had an extensive knowledge of the jungle and everything inside of it. Aaron approached a cliff wall and realized that they were leading him in to a trap as he was now at a dead end.
Aaron backed up against the wall fearing the worst, but the unexpected happened. Part of the wall slid open and Aaron fell inside before the wall closed. Several torches were lit revealing an old woman sitting on a mat and meditating. "Welcome Aaron. Please, take a seat." She said as she opened her eyes which were a purple color while she had long silver hair and wrinkled skin. Aaron grew very nervous as he stared at the old woman. He started banging on the wall hoping to find a way out with no luck. "You'll find that door to be quite locked. Now please take a seat. I wish to cause you no harm." She said as she walked over to a small fire and took a seat on a mat next to it.
