As the sixty trainers, eight Gym Leaders and Boyd all charged down the hill to Pinoma City, Boyd told everyone in team one to each send out a Pokemon and everyone in team one each sent out a Pokemon including a Sableye that belonged to Gunter.
When the Team Bomb grunts that were outside noticed team one, they sent out their own Pokemon in order to stop them and a battle began. With the grunts distracted, team two went to Ketchum co Building's emergency exit, because the main entrance was heavily guarded, but when they got there, they noticed three grunts guarding it.
"How are we gonna get past them," asked an unknown trainer.
"I'll handle this," said a voice which turned out to be Steve.
"I didn't know you were here Steve," said Nils.
"I decided to miss my test because saving Pinoma City was more important," explained Steve, "When I got here, Boyd promised me that because I made the right choice, he'll make sure the Viridian Gym is reopened and that I'll become it's Gym Leader."
"Well that's good," said Rex.
"It is," said Steve, "Anyway, I'll distract these grunts alone while the rest of you go in the building," and Steve then sent out his Nincada, Krokorok and Sandslash. "All of you use Dig," and Steve's three Pokemon all used the selected move which got the attention of the grunts who all started to battle Steve.
As Steve battled the grunts, the rest of team two entered the building and quickly went into the lobby where several more grunts were seen doing random stuff until they noticed team two. Both the grunts and team two sent out their Pokemon which included Nils' Machamp, Ren's Garbodor, Tana's Ursaring,Rex's Banette, an Ambipom that belonged to Libby, a Honchkrow that belonged to Dean, and a Pinsir that belonged to Utara. After the battle, the grunts were all defeated and tied up but then several more grunts came in through the main entrance.
"I thought team one wasn't made of enough trainers," said Edward, the Dure City Gym Leader, "I think I'll have to stall them while the team splits up to rescue the prisoners and defeat the boss, go Absol," and an Absol was sent out.
"You may need some help with stalling Edward," said Utara, "I would like to volunteer, go Hypno," and a Hypno was sent out
"I think you're right Utara," said Edward, "I would like help from two other trainers from the rescue group and seven trainers from the group that will be fighting the boss," and nine trainers volunteered to help.
While Edward and his group distracted the grunts, Misty led her group to the basement to rescue Ketchum co and the citizens of Pinoma City while Sabrina led her group up the stairs to confront the boss. As Sabrina's group climbed up the stairs and ran through the halls, they kept having battle after battle with the many grunts that were waiting for them which made several trainers get left behind to buy time while others started to have their Pokemon too tired to continue.
"By the time the group made it to the top floor, where the president's office was, only Sabrina, Nils, Tana, Rex and Dean remained. As they ran through the hall that would lead to the president's office, five grunts appeared and they each had different colored Bs on their outfits which were black, yellow, pink, green, and orange.
"These must be the five highest ranked members of Team Bomb," said Sabrina, "I've heard they were held back until Team Bomb took over this Building,"
"That's right," said the grunt with the pink B," and now we'll show you our power, go Tropius," and a Tropius was sent out while the other four grunts sent out an Omastar, a Clefable, a Diggersby and a Scolipede.
"I think only three of you will be able to handle the boss while the fourth one and I take care of these guys," said Sabrina as she sent out an Alakazam.
"I'll help you Sabrina," said Dean as he sent out a Purugly, "Can you three handle the boss?"
"I've stopped Team Bomb several times," said Nils, "Fighting the boss won't be that hard."
"My dad has stopped Team Rocket and several other evil organizations," said Tana, "Now it's my turn to stop one."
"And I learned from one of the Elite four on how to battle," said Rex, "I want to see how well he taught me."
"Good," said Sabrina, "Now go quickly," and Nils, Tana and Rex ran through the hall and made it to the door to the president's office while Dean and Sabrina battled the high ranked grunts
When the three trainers entered the office, they noticed someone look out the window watching the battle outside.
"So," said the mysterious person, "Someone managed to make it through my followers and reach here."
The mysterious person then turned around and was revealed to be none other than Wilda, Ketchum co's vice president.
