B/N: Yay! I'm into writing right now. I'll try to push out a lot of chapters while I'm in the mood. I'll be focusing mainly on The Snowpoint Deduction for right now, since it won't be amazingly long and I'm already the furthest through it out of all of my stories. Enjoy!

The automatic sliding glass doors opened for me as I walked into the Pokémon Center. Nurse Joy was leaning against the counter, watching a soap opera playing on a TV screen situated in the lobby. She straightened up as I walked in.

"Hello, and welcome the Pokémon Center! I'm Nurse Joy, how may I be of assistance to you?" she asked cheerfully in a voice identical to every pink-haired woman in the Joy Family.

I waved a hand at her. "You can drop the act. I'm the new Gym Leader, and I need a list of the pokémon in this city."

Nurse Joy's smile wavered. "Of course, Mr. Gym Leader, sir. Right this way!" she called over her shoulder as she disappeared behind a set of double wooden doors behind her.

I quickly clambered over the counter and followed her. She led me down into a series of underground hallways that were all sterile and identically tiled in white, with pink trim. Eventually, after my feet started to get tired, I asked how much further it was.

"Oh, not very long," she replied.

"I didn't know that there were so many hallways underneath the Pokémon Centers," I commented.

"Yes," Nurse Joy answered, "the hallways all connect to each other, so that patients can be transferred between centers in case of an emergency or quarantine."

I froze in my tracks. "Wait a minute–" I started.

But Nurse Joy cut me off. "No, we can't use these to get out of Snowpoint. Look, up there." She pointed down a long passageway. At the end, I could just barely make out a seemingly solid wall of churning snow and ice.

"Even down here?" I asked meekly. "But…how? How is Kyurem this powerful?"

Nurse Joy didn't react when I mentioned Kyurem, so she must have known about it. She shrugged. "I have no idea. But however it happened, we can't get past. Luckily, we have enough supplies in the tunnels underneath Snowpoint to last for quite a while. Here we are," she said, stopping by a heavily bolted iron door.

She typed in a code and then takes a card from and inside pocket of her dress and touches the edge of it to a scan pad on the wall. The door opens after scanning her retinas.

"Man, there's a lot of security for a list of pokémon," I commented, looking around at the rows and rows of computer hubs. Each one was about four feet by four feet by four feet and was black with pulsing blue lights and lines.

Nurse Joy walked down one of the aisles that separated each Hub. She stopped at one and pressed her index finger in the center of it. A holographic screen popped up in front of her.

She tapped a few buttons on the screen, and then stepped aside. "Here's the list. You can filter results at the top. If you need anything else, just press the button at the bottom right of the Hub and I'll be notified. Hope you find what you're looking for."

And with that she left me on my own.

After I had downloaded the list of the pokémon and where to find them onto my phone, I hurried back to the Gym, hoping to catch the last bit of Cynthia's speech before it was go time.

She had just adjourned the meeting when I walked into the Gym. The twenty three Congressmen were filing out quickly, some of them pulling poké balls out of their jackets and speaking into earpieces. They were obviously all on a mission.

I wanted to catch a few of them, since some had pokémon with Sunny Day capability. Cynthia must have told them about my mission because the ones I needed came up to me before I could track them down and gave me the poké balls.

"Good luck to you sunny," one kind old woman who had just given six pokémon to me said.

I walked down to where Cynthia was and showed her the list on my phone. As I had gotten the pokémon from the Congressmen, my phone had automatically checked them off the list. Only sixty nine more to go, I thought weakly.

"Good job. After you collect the pokémon, I want you to meet me at the Temple again, okay?"

I nodded and started collecting right away. I would need all the time I could get.

The collecting of the pokémon who knew Sunny Day took a lot less time that I thought. It turns out Cynthia really had told them all, and most of them sought me out to give me the pokémon. The wild pokémon were easy, since there weren't many in the city itself to begin with and the only ones that could learn the move were wild snovers.

After they were all collected, and weighing very heavily in my bag, I went to the Temple to meet Cynthia.

She was on the bottom-most floor, sitting where the Regigigas statue has stood before Mariah and Team Dusk took it, deep in thought.

As I walked down the very narrow stairs, she opened her eyes and looked at me. "Do you know what I want you to do?" she asked.

I nodded. "At least the first part."

She took a deep breath. "That's all you need to know, for now. Let's go."

She stood up and led me to the outside of the Temple. "Release all of the pokémon," she said.

I did.

"Now it gets tricky," she muttered under her breath. "Now Kyurem wrecks us all."

A/N: Oooh, suspenseful ending. Well, sorry for the very uneventful chapter, but it was necessary before all the action begins. I hope you all enjoyed, and please leave a review! I read them all and take them all into consideration, and they help me tremendously with my writing. Thanks again!
