The P.O.O.T headquarters was... A toaster. I know what you're thinking. A TOASTER WTF? It's a really BIG toaster, alright.
"A TOASTER? WHAT THE FUCK!" Hiro yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Congratulations, Hiro. That was the password." Silver said nonchalantly.
"Wha- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A trap door appeared under Hiro's feet. He was falling through a tunnel. At the bottom, Hiro fell on his ass and looked around to find an evil looking factory with smoke circulating over his head. Silver reappeared next to him and landed safely on his feet.
"It's time to give you the tour, Recruit."
"Recruit? I'm already a member?"
"You turned into member when you got the password right." Silver led him into a room where pokemon eggs were falling from tubes and on conveyor belts.
"This place is exactly under the Daycare Center in Goldenrod City," Silver droned. "All pokemon lay five eggs at a time and our spies give us four out of five of those. We give each new recruit one egg for personal use." Silver grabbed an egg off the conveyor belt and handed it to Hiro. It glowed and vibrated in his hands and exploded. A baby Magby appeared in his hands.
"This place already kicks ass if it gives out free pokemon," Hiro said while tickling Magby's stomach. Silver glared at him. "What's wrong with you?"
"If you want to be a good P.O.O.T operative then you'll have to stop caring for your pokemon so much. If your feelings for them get in the way in missions then you have no place here."
"What the hell? I'll do what I want with my pokemon. And ease up a little, man. How serious can an organization called P.O.O.T be?"
Silver ignored him and led him into a flight of stairs. They led to a sort of spectator's balcony. Below them was a fierce pokemon battle. The battlers were between a Scizor and a Steelix. The trainer behind Steelix Hiro recognized immediately. She was the gym leader of Olivine City and Hiro's cousin; Jasmine.
"Use Swords Dance, Scizor!"
"Use Dragon breath, Steelix!"
Scizor spun in midair to build up it's strength. A blast of green air came from Steelix's mouth. Scizor became paralyzed at the touch.
"Oh no!" cried the male trainer. "Okay, use Baton Pass!" Scizor made a pink baton in it's claw out of thin air. The trainer released a Rhydon from it's pokeball. Rhydon grabbed the baton from Scizor. The Scizor returned back to it's master. "Rhydon use Earthquake!" Tremors formed in the arena and shook. The attack missed Steelix but was heading for Jasmine.
"Steelix, protect me!" Steelix made a green barrier out of nothing and stopped the attack with ease. "Iron Tail!" Steelix's tail glowed white and smacked into Rhydon. Rhydon went soaring into the balcony Hiro and Silver were standing on. Steelix caught all three of them before they fell down.
"Hi Cousin Jasmine!"
"Hiro? When'd you get here?"
"Six minutes ago." He jumped off of Steelix's head. He was going to greet his relative but a thought stopped him in midstep. "You're in P.O.O.T?"
"Uh huh. I'm leader of the Olivine Division."
"What 'choo talkin' about Jasmine?" Hiro asked in a way that would've made Gary Coleman proud. Silver came down from Steelix and joined the conversation.
"Remember how I told you that the daycare center owners are our spies? The Olivine Division spy for us in Olivine City. Your cousin works as the gym leader and lighthouse owner to see the grand scheme of things going on in the city. That guy over there is the mayor of Olivine City who also works for us."
"Damn. This is like the scientology of the pokemon world. What the hell does P.O.O.T do anyway? My seven minute attention span has run out and I demand to know what's going on or I'm leaving." Jasmine and Silver looked at each other and gave Hiro angry glares.
"That is classified information. Leave now and you will die," they said simultaneously. Hiro made a run for the door anyway but only to be blocked by Steelix. It was preparing to use a Hyper Beam and was pointing it at Hiro.
"Uh, where's my room, heheh I think I just pissed myself..."
"Good answer," Jasmine said while returning Steelix. "When you get there change your pants. You can't do combat practice like that..."
Jasmine left without saying a word to her relative. Silver led him into a hallway where doors were opening every few seconds. Kids about Hiro's age were running into different rooms looking very distressed.
"Silver, what's going on?" Hiro yelled over the noise.
"This is where you're sleeping!" He led the two of them to a room at the end of the hallway. Silver shoved Hiro into it and locked the door. A girl was talking on the phone with somebody on the lower part of their bunk bed. Tears were falling heavily on to her pillow.
"Mom. Please you've got to get me out of here somehow. I-I don't know what to do. Rory tried to leave and they killed him... I know you can't help right now but you have to try. Tell the police or something, do anything... Also when you see Copper again please tell him I'm sorry."
She threw the phone away and cried silently into her pillow. Hiro felt sorry for her and wanted to know her connections with Copper.
"How do know Copper?"
"You know my little brother? And who are you?"
"I'm Hiro Steel."
"I know who you are. You're Rory's replacement," she said. She lowered her head to cry again. Hiro looked away from her and climbed to the top bunk.
"God damn it. What have I gotten myself into," Hiro thought. He fell asleep for a while until an intercom went off and echoed through the halls.
"WILL ALL NEW RECRUITS PLEASE COME TO THE TRAINING AREA? REPEAT; ALL NEW RECRUITS PLEASE COME TO THE TRAINING AREA?" When Hiro got there a trainer with an Octillery had just won a match. Hiro recognized her as his new room mate. The Intercom went off again. "Will Hiro Steel please come for his class A match up? " Hiro gulped and ran out to the field.
Hiro pulled out the pokedex and looked up Octillery.
"Octillery. The Jet pokemon. It is nicknamed the Gun with Tentacles. Every one of it's moves is a beam or blast that it fires from it's mouth while anchoring itself with it's suction cups."
"Highfang and Stench are too slow for this. Inferno is inexperienced. Sleeper should handle this," Hiro thought. He reached for Sleeper's pokeball to find that it wasn't there. He thought back to before he left with Silver. He lent Sleeper to Copper but he never gave it back.
"Hey! Your little brother stole my pokemon!"
"Tell it to someone who cares." Hiro couldn't believe it. The sobbing girl he knew was gone and replaced with this angry venomous one. He picked Highfang for battle instead.
"Water gun!"
"Octazooka!" The attacks collided into each other leaving a pool of black water around the arena. The water had reached Hiro's knees before he reacted.
"Highfang use-."
"Ice Beam!" The water around Highfang froze it in a black cage of ice.
"Hidden Power Grass!" (From now on the trainers using Hidden Power say what type it is so I won't have to.) The ice shattered and both the ice and hidden power hit Octillery. It landed on it's head and couldn't get back up. The members of P.O.O.T watching laughed out loud at that.
"I won't be made a fool of. Use Psybeam." The blast shot the wall behind her and sent Octillery flying into Highfang. Highfang held it back but couldn't keep the flying octopus like that for long.
"Use bite on one of the tentacles!" It did what it was told and swung Octillery over it's head. "Use hidden power again." But the girl only smirked.
"Use Fire Blast!"
"Wha!" (I looked it up. Octillery can actually do that among other things. People don't realize it but Octillerys are really strong. They're one of the few pokemon that could use moves to cover up their own weaknesses. Respect Octillery!) The attack shredded through the hidden power and hit Highfang's middle section. Hiro checked the pokedex to see Highfang's HP. It was about to run out.
"Stop!" Hiro yelled. "I forfeit!" Hiro ran up to Highfang's side to check on it. It collapsed to the ground out of pain. "Are you okay, buddy?"
"Croco...naw naw croc?" Translation (Do I look okay to you, you idiot?) Hiro put it back in the ball. A man came from behind a curtain on the newly built balcony. He was wearing a long black cloak. His face was hidden by a hood with a few tufts of blond hair sticking out.
"How dare you stop! What is the meaning of this!"
"Are you blind? Highfang was hurt. If you took off that hood then you'd be able to see it you blind old son of a-." Silver came out of nowhere and tackled Hiro to the ground.
"He is new. He doesn't know who you are yet, my liege. I told him that his care for pokemon is his weakness. If you allow it I'll train him myself." The man nodded his head and walked away with his guards.
"What was that for?"
"I was saving your ass! That was the Boss..."

By the way, if you're going to submit team ideas please do not include anything uber. I hate Ubers and overused pokemon with a passion so please keep them out of the story. Not that anyone has suggested these kinds of pokemon,still do not put legendaries and pokemon that n00bs use for every fucking team. To name a few- Charizard, teams full of starters, most legendaries and shit like that. Respect the Underused or you'll be feeling a swift kick to the nuts filled with squirelly wrath!
