"Chase's code key and password should get you into the mainframe," May told Ash. They were driving along the Goldenrod road at night. "But they'll have the whole building locked down by now."

"Anything can be broken into," Ash said, smiling.

"Ash, we have some new technology for you," Professor Oak said through the screen on the dashboard. "These sleeper darts will help you take out your enemies without killing them."

"Pika!" Ash heard through the screen.

"Oh, hi Pikachu! I miss you buddy," Ash said. He wished it could be like the good old days, when he and Pikachu were always together. Now these days it was too dangerous to keep Pikachu around.

"We also have the Oak-virus," he said. "Install this in the computers."

"Will do," Ash replied.

"A decryptor will decode door locks."

"Thanks," he said.

"Ash, we need to hurry," May said. "The guards switch shifts in 30 minutes." They kept driving and May looked out the window, thinking of her lost friend.

"May?" Ash asked.

"Yes?" May replied.

"I assume you're on my team, right?"

"Of course," she said.

"But why were you on the bad team before?" Ash asked. May seemed to wince at this question.

"Well," May started. "I was forced into it."

"By who?" Ash wondered aloud.

"By," she let a tear drop. "By Drew. One day he just left then a few months later he came back to me. He told me he had gone bad. He pulled out a gun and tol dme to join him. He told me to join him or else he would kill me." She started crying. "It's not like I like being bad. It's not like that at all. I'm just doing what I'm forced to. But now it doesn't matter, I've switched sides. It's over between Drew and I."

Ash just sat there for the rest of the ride, silent. He thought he should feel better about Drew and May not being together anymore, but he couldn't. There was a strange feeling that Ash could not exactly figure out. The rest of the ride was a quiet one, indeed.

Ash and May finally got to the building. Ash saw a truck that was to go into the tall building. He ran over to it while it was stopped and got underneath it and rode until they were in the parking garage in the basement of the large building.

"Ash, you'll need to get up to the lobby to get to the elevator. I'll tell you if there is anything suspicious at street level." May was asying this over the earpiece in Ash's ear. Ash got out and shot the guard who had been driving the truck with the tranquilizer gun, sending him into unconciousness. He then looked around for the elevator and found it. He went up the elevator and found himself in the lobby. He had to get to the security room somehow and switch on the main elevator so he could go up. He stealthily made his way over to the security room. Once in the room he saw there was a guard looking at the computer screens. ASH silently knocked out the guard and went up to the computers, looking for the switch to turn on the elevator. He finally found it, but then he saw that there was another switch to turn off the laser trip system. He pushed that button as well.

He left the room and took out another guard while quietly making his way over to the main elevator.

"Who are you?" he heard a voice. He turned around to see a guard who looked shocked to see him.

"Uh..." Ash stuttered and shot a dart at the man, who fell to the ground. He then ran into the elevator and went to the highest level it could reach. He got out and went to the large, long hallway, taking out a guard along the way. He made his way through the maze of rooms until he finally found a room with the goal computer in it.

"Ash," M said over the earpiece, "That's the computer. Install the Oak-Virus into it."

Ash did as he was told and inserted the small disk into the hard drive. The computer screen then turned red. "Who are you?" he heard. He looked up to see a guard running towards the alarm switch. He hurriedly took out his dart gun and tried to shoot but found it was out of bullets. He sprinted fastly towards the man and tackled him, knocking him out by hitting his head with the dart gun.

Then Ash ran out of the room, going towards another security room to open the door to upstairs. He passed by a couple of guards who were talking about how bad lunch had been that day in the cafeteria. Ash then got into the security room by using the decryptor. He walked up to the computers, pressing the appropriate buttons. He ran past the guards again.

"Did you hear that?" one guard said.

"Hear what?"

"That."

"You're paranoid." The guards then went back to talking about lunch.

Ash went up the stairs and out the door and found himself on a large balcony. He started walking towards the walkway to the elevator when he was cut off by a helicopter nearly hitting him with the blade. He looked into the helicopter to see to his surprise Misty sitting in it, staring back at him.

"Ash?" Misty asked herself.

Ash then noticed a new way to the roof. He jumped on top of an outer elevator and rode until he found himself in front of a huge vent. He opened it using his laser wristwatch and walked and then dropped into a break room. He walked through two more doors and found himself in an O shaped hallway. He went to the far diagonal corner from him to find a secretaries office.

"Ash, this is Chase's office," M told him over the speaker.

"Goodie," Ash said. He decoded the door and found the computer, installing the Oak-virus on it. He then walked to the mainframe room, which was protected by sliding steel doors. Ash put the code card into the slot and pressed a button in the middle of the door. It slid in two ways and revealed a room with a walkway over water. In the middle of the room there was a small steel island like thing, a large machine lifted out of it, like in a spy movie. Ash walked towards the machine and touched a button and stole something from it. Then the alarm started going off.

"What's going on?" Misty asked the helicopter pilot. He shrugged and told her to stay in the helicopter. "No. I want to see." There were guards everywhere ready with guns. Misty knew this was going to be dangerous for Ash, but she thought of a brilliant way out for him. She walked over to the stairwell and went through the door to downstairs. As she was going down the stairs, she found to her surprise Ash, who was running the other way.

"Ash," Misty said, "The only way off is to grab the parachute from the helicopter. Then you have to jump off the building. Good luck." She leaned in and gave him a small kiss. They both blushed. "Now go!"

"Thanks," Ash said and ran out the door to find many guns shooting at him from all angles. Ash got his P2K out and started taking them each out one by one. One he shot flew off the building. The next screamed as he fell to the ground. Each had their own reaction to death. He kept shooting as he ran to the helipad. The helicopter pilot seemed very scared. "Thanks for this," Ash said as he grabbed the parachute from it. There was also a rocket launcher inside. Ash got it and shot at everything he saw on the building, leaving only him and the helicopter pilot alive. Explosions were occuring everywhere on the roof, and Ash then knew how he had to get off. Ash ran to the edge and held his breath as he jumped. When he got to the right height, he pulled the parachute out. He saw a pink car and decided that it was a good landing spot. He landed on it and hung his head over the edge to say something to the people inside. Inside were two girls listening to some cool music.

"Sorry to drop in like this," he said. "Would you ladies mind giving me a ride?" He asked. The two girls who had been scared started giggling now.

They gave him a ride to his Aston Martin, but when he got there, he found no May. He did find a note though.

I've taken May and now she is where she belongs.

Signed, Drew

Ash gasped. He thought he had killed Drew back in the mountains. Could it really be? Could Drew still be alive? What might Drew mean by the note? Ash would not expect to find out the results later.
