Flow
(Make sure to drop a review/comment, the support is forever appreciated, I hope you enjoy this chapter!)
After running everything down with the security, rangers, and even ACE trainers, he was approached by Misty, the gym leader.
He resisted the urge to start the conversation with a "Hey, I'm a big fan of you!". He chose to let the gym leader start it off.
"Alright, I'm not here for anything serious, if I am to be real with you, I am just here to meet you," Misty said, trying to sound as carefree as possible.
She sat in the opposite direction of the small desk, fidgeting with her belt.
"I'm just going to say it blankly and blatantly, I pray that you don't go down the wrong path, as you just…killed someone, and I've seen the effects that can have on someone." Misty said thoughtfully, ", especially for a young, aspiring trainer like you.
"I can assure you that I will never go astray from the path of Justice," Kore confirmed, Misty sighed solemnly, putting a plan to her forehead.
"I hope you know the limitations of that path of Justice," She said blankly, expression softening,
"Alright, let's stop talking about serious topics, and move on to something else." Misty stated, "will you be challenging the Cerulean gym?"
Kore nodded, "In a few days, probably so."
Misty nodded, "I see, I heard that you are also a water type specialist?"
Kore nodded again, this time, Misty cracked a small grin of excitement, "Well then, I shall await that challenge of yours with curiosity."
"I have a question." Kore stated, "What happened…to brock?"
Misty's expression soured, as she gripped her Pokeball tightly.
"His Steelix died in the incident, he took the emotional impact quite well…He said that the Steelix that died has been passed down from generation at a time and that it was already nearing the end of its days so he's been training an offspring of the Steelix." Misty said, "He hasn't told me any more than this."
Kore nodded solemnly, he couldn't even attempt to imagine losing one of his current Pokemon.
"Anyways, sorry for the short talk, I have to go now." Misty said, standing up and pushing back the chair, her short orange hair fluttering, "I do have one bit of advice as a water trainer myself."
Kore listened intently, as Misty approached the door to the exit, "Just remember, a true specialist should know every little thing about their typing…"
"If you can't understand what I am about to say, then don't even call yourself a water specialist." Misty stated, "The true power of the water typing can only be reached through the fluidity of nature itself."
"13th Indigo Champion, Buck Charcoco."
The door creaked, as the water specialist exited the room.
"The true power of the water typing can only be reached through the fluidity of nature itself…"
Kore grinned, as his eyes watered.
"Fucking hell…I have no idea!"
…..
Kore spent the following hour, in one of the rooms he booked in the PokeCenter, running through the quote.
"The fluidity of nature itself…"
Kore scratched his head, groaning in disappointment as he collapsed onto the bed.
"There could be so many different meanings!?"
"It could mean the fluidity and relaxation of water, the flow of the moves…"
"Why is this so fuckingggg dumbbbb!" He groaned, replaying the quote repeatedly.
"What is of so much concern, trainer?" He heard Hydra say, Kore turned to the Horsea, scowling.
"You wouldn't understand," Kore stated.
"Alright, well, why don't we go train, maybe help you with this concerning matter?"
"Sure, sounds like a good idea, I guess."
As he oversaw his Pokémon's training in the PokeCenter, his thoughts drifted freely, roaming his head without any limitations.
He vividly remembered the scene that had just happened several hours ago, his panicked breathing, his desperate words, the rage being pumped into his veins…
And how satisfying revenge was.
He held back a grin, he held back his overwhelming desire to seek more bloodshed.
He didn't want to walk down this bloody path, but his body ached and yearned for something bigger and deadlier.
Something that would truly detriment Team Rocket, a wound so powerful that it would kill Team Rocket once and for all, he wanted to be the bringer of the end of Team Rocket.
He breathed in and breathed out.
"Kore, think about something else…"
For the next hour or so, he gave basic instructions to his Pokémon, and then sat back, pondering and decrypting the line.
"The fluidity of nature, the number of meanings possible.."
Kore cursed under his breath, as he continued to ponder, continuously.
After another half an hour, he gave up from frustration and took his Pokémon with him to his room in the PokeCenter.
He ended up replaying some of Buck's matches, the legendary trainer was a part of the golden age of the Indigo league.
It was the only age of battling in the entire history of Pokémon battling where there were "three" champions. Buck Charcoco, the raging sea master, Avery Espresso, the energetic specter, and Lucas voldigond, the normal master, all competed against each other every year, in all three of their twenty years of reign and status as champion, there was not a single time where one of them won more than two times in a row every year.
After the three of them passed their prime, Marta Espresso, the daughter of Avery Espresso, became champion, her reign lasted until she was sixty-four, or thirty-five years, she retired after one final battle against Samuel Oak, where she was soundly defeated. Oak retired into a professor after only seven years, then Lance took over, and has been champion for six years.
Kore considered Buck Charcoco to be the strongest water-type trainer in the history of the battle, and he took as many notes as possible when he was reviewing the matches, even if it was only to decrypt the quote.
He watched intently, as he saw a Poliwrath instantly dissipate, moving with serenity and grace, as it slammed its wide fist into the opposing Snorlax, before instantly flipping into the air with…Fluidity, slamming another fist into the Snorlax, who retaliated with a massive hyper beam, the Poliwrath instantly bounced off of the Snorlax, slamming another powered fist into the massive bear Pokémon.
Kore's eyes raced, as he took notes about the Poliwrath's impressive maneuverability.
"I already have the basic meaning of the quote down, it refers to the movements of the Pokémon, but how does that relate?-"
Buck withdrew the Poliwrath, as the Snorlax seemed to catch onto its schemes, the large trainer grinned, his brown hair swaying in the wind, "Gyrados, ravage!"
The Gyrados appeared, letting out a massive roar, which shook the entire stadium with power.
The Gyrados lunged at the equally massive Snorlax, who leaped into the air(somehow) electricity exploding from his exposed fist.
The Gyrados, much to the crowd's surprise, expertly maneuvered past the Snorlax, swaying through the air perfectly, circling behind the Snorlax, before firing a concentrated hyper beam, which sent the Snorlax crashing away.
Kore's eyes widened, as he grinned.
"I got it! I got it!"
"It was simpler than I thought!"
…
The familiar light of the stadium flashed across his eyes, as he linked the long-term communication device on his Pokémon's Pokeball, grinning in excitement as he stood on the protected platform, gripping tightly on a Pokeball.
"Challenger Kore Eversor vs Leader Misty Waterflower!" The referee shouted, "This will be broadcasted to the Newbie Trainer Broadcasting or NBO!"
"This is a three versus three, for the second gym badge, let the battle begin!"
Kore's hands trembled in excitement as he released Hydra onto the field, Kore could feel the excitement of the Horsea, the Pokemon materializing in the pool of water, eyes narrowed as it attempted to take in the surroundings, cocking its head around, grinning.
"Alright, Hydra, it's time for your debut gym battle!" Kore exclaimed, his eyes met with Misty, who grinned back arrogantly.
"Goldeen, spotlight!"
The fish Pokémon appeared, Hydra's eyes intensified at his opponent, particularly focused on the long horn on the tip of the water Pokémon's head.
"Goldeen, start it off with a horn attack!"
"Hydra, repel it with a twister!"
The Goldeen rushed at Hydra, moving at incredible speeds as it accelerated across the water, flowing seamlessly.
Hydra reared its mouth back, before blowing a large gust of wind, the Goldeen yelped, before being engulfed in the wind, and then crashing back into the water.
"Rapid attack!"
"Twister again!"
The Goldeen leaped into the air, drops of water splashing onto the surface as it soared through the air, its horn shining brightly as it crashed back into the water, hidden in the water.
"Tch, that throws a wrench in my strategy."
Hydra reared back, before blasting another gust of wind, however, this time…
Nothing happened, Kore cursed as Goldeen suddenly leaped from the side, striking Hydra with its powerful horn and sending it crashing back into the air and into the water.
"Fury attack!" Misty yelled, grinning confidently, as her Goldeen quickly rushed at the still recovering Hydra.
"Bubblebeam!" Kore yelled out in desperation, a concerned frown tugged on his lips.
Hydra hastily fired the attack, Goldeen shrugged it off with relative ease, before striking Hydra with several attacks with its horn.
"Hydra, propel yourself away with bubblebeam!"
The Horsea gained some distance after firing the bubblebeam, propelling its light body through the water, "Twister!"
"Dodge and horn attack!"
"Shit, she's going for the same strategy!"
"Hydra, wait for my command!" Kore shouted, Hydra nodded, firmly "standing" its ground.
Kore paid close attention to the ripples of water, while they weren't obvious enough for him to pinpoint the exact location of Goldeen and order Hydra to fire at, but they were enough for Kore to figure out the Goldeen's distance from Hydra.
1…
The ripples grow closer…
2…
The ripples grow closer, Kore's mouth loosens…
3…
"Hydra, Leap into the air and fire a twister!" Kore said in just barely a second, Hydra seemed to be able to (somehow) understand his command, as Hydra leaped deep into the air, before firing the gust of wind at the water, the Goldeen yelped again as it was engulfed in the swirling mass of wind and water, "Snipe it!"
The Horsea line naturally had significant power boosts in water, the boost they possess varies depending on the ability, some have swift swim which will nearly double their speed in water…
But Hydra has the sniper ability, which allows her to be much more precise and control its attack with more precision.
That's why Hydra was able to perform the seemingly outlandish task of sniping Goldeen from deep in the air when it is in a swirling mass of unpredictable wind, and when she is falling from the air.
And yet, she did, she narrowed her eyes as she reared her head back…
The Goldeen was slammed into the water as Hydra fired a bubblebeam, water splashed all over the pool, as the naturally frail Goldeen barely managed to get to the surface of the water.
"Amazing! Quick thinking on your part to develop a counterattack for my strategy!" Misty praised, "Goldeen, return!"
Kore frowned, he felt both Hydra and Goldeen could fight more, but he didn't speak up.
"I have one very important question for you, Challenger Kore Eversor!" Misty exclaimed, "Did you figure out the quote I gave you the first time we met?"
Kore grinned, "I sure did, it was much less complex than I thought, after I stopped overthinking it was as easy as this gym battle is going to be!"
Misty grinned right back, "Don't get cocky, as it'll make you look bad afterwards! Go Psyduck!"
The curious, yellow duck appeared, grasping its hands with its little pads, it slowly walked towards the battlefield.
Hydra's eyes intensified against its opponent, shaking its head and closing its eyes firm in disapproval.
"Hydra, don't underestimate this Psyduck! It may prove a challenge with its latent psychic abilities!" Kore warned, Hydra nodded slowly.
"Psyduck, confusion!"
Hydra floated through the water with finesse and agility, swaying side to side, confusing the Psyduck for a few seconds as it couldn't concentrate, "Twister!"
The Psyduck was caught off guard as Hydra suddenly halted, before firing a gust of pelting wind at it, the Psyduck screamed erratically as it was lifted by the gust of wind, and off the platform, before being dumped into the water.
"Again!"
"Confusion!"
Psyduck suddenly bursted from the water, and before Hydra could rear her head back, the yellow duck's eyes glowed a bright blue, and with a flick of a finger, Hydra was sent crashing into one of the platforms.
"Hydra!" Kore shouted, the Horsea let out a squeak of defiance, as it recovered from the blow, shaking its head repeatedly, "Twister again!"
"Confusion!"
This time, Hydra instantly fired the attack, the gust of wind sent Psyduck spiraling in the air, Kore grinned as it was clear Hydra had the upper hand, but that grin was soured, as to his complete surprise, the Psyduck's eyes glowed a bright blue, as it was being ravaged by the piercing wind, the Psyduck with just a flick of it's pads, sent Hydra crashing into another platform.
"Hydra-" Kore shouted uselessly, as Hydra could barely recover from the attack, but she still floated in the water valiantly-
"Confusion!"
"Bubble beam!"
It was too late, however, as before Hydra's attack could connect, she was slammed into another platform to the right, this time knocking her out cold.
"Fuck!"
"Return, Hydra!" Kore said softly, "you did great, I'm proud of you bud."
"Poliwag, start it with a bubble beam!"
The tadpole Pokémon materialized in the water in a flash of brilliant scarlet light, a soft smiler tugging at its lips as it swam excitedly in the water, but Poliwag quickly grew more serious, narrowing his eyes at his opponent.
"Confusion-"
"Hypnosis!"
Throughout the past few days, Kore had noticed that Poliwag had an odd affinity for hypnosis, Poliwag could naturally learn it quite easily, but his had a very specific affinity for it, he could cast the move in only a second worth of time, which is really fast as your average Poliwag of his age and experience should only be able to cast the move after 2 or 3 seconds.
Not only that, the effect is also almost instant, and he can also pull the move in dire situations(he had Exeo repeatedly fire mud shots at the Poliwag, and even under those conditions, he managed to hypnotize Exeo.) He knew this could be a weapon that he could utilize to the fullest extent, as Hypnosis can not only be used to put the opponent to sleep, but it can also allow a skilled individual to control and manipulate the movements of the opponent to a degree, sometimes even completely wipe memories.
Poliwag wasn't at that stage of proficiency yet, but one thing Kore was confident…
Was that he can knock out the damn Psyduck.
The Psyduck bursted in another wave of psychic energy, but this time, much to Misty's surprise, before Poliwag's hypnosis could be intercepted, the Psyduck suddenly swayed to the side and right, almost in a drunken and unbalanced state.
Misty gaped, Poliwag had just instantly knocked out Psyduck with a hypnosis, as the Psyduck soon collapsed to the floor, asleep only a second after the initial effects hit.
Kore grinned wildly, "Show the world your true potential!"
"I…"Misty was speechless at what just transpired, Poliwag took the opportunity to fire several bubble beams as a safety measure, the Psyduck was then returned.
Misty was a water specialist, and that meant she knew just how ridiculous that was.
Poliwag are…not powerful psychic Pokémon to say the least, the only reason they can even use Hypnosis is because they are naturally prey animals, and they developed the move as an evolutionary trait to defend themselves, but what Kore's Poliwag just showed was an absolute massive feat.
"Impressive, instantly activating a Hypnosis within the time frame of a second that was strong enough to immediately disrupt my Psyduck's attack, and within only a few seconds, completely knock it out." Misty clapped her hands, "that's one odd fellow you got there."
"But, a loss is a loss, time for the real action!"
Kore gulped, as his grip over Poliwag's Pokeball tightened.
The jump between the first badge and the second badge, the sheer gap between each gym leader battle is insane, it only gets toned down between the 5th to 8th gym badges.
And he was about to witness it, "Starmie, kick it off with a Psybeam!9
Starmie, odd creatures that while being highly intelligent, possess a brain structure so complex and unorthodox that humans have no solid basis of their habits, aside from undying loyalty to their trainer if raised from a young age.
Fully-developed psychics like Starmie also grow a sort of protective layer in their brain against hypnosis upon evolution, which means Hypnosis can very easily be disrupted in this case.
The Starmie materialized into one of the platforms at the center, the previously rather silent crowd suddenly started murmuring and shifting in excitement.
"Poliwag, dodge and bubble beam!"
Starmie instantly fired a ray of psychic energy, Poliwag leaped into the air, dodging the attack which dissipated in the water, Poliwag then fired a bubble beam at Starmie, who shrugged it off with ease.
"Water pulse!"
Kore grinned, "hypnotizing it may be difficult, but certainly not impossible if the conditions are right!"
Kore already has a good and basic grasp of the battlefield, Poliwag is in the air, plummeting to the ground, he suspects that Starmie will likely fire a water pulse at the tadpole Pokémon from the air…
A glint glowed in Kore's eyes, as his entire body quivered in excitement.
"I need to bet it all on Poliwag's hypnotization."
As Poliwag fell to the ground, exposed, the Starmie fired a water pulse at the Poliwag, the Poliwag's frail body was sent crashing into the water, splashing the droplets of water deep into the air…
"Dive!"
Misty grinned in excitement and awe, as Poliwag moved at absurdly quick speeds, the ripples of water splashing onto the platforms, as the invisible form of Poliwag move with grace and fluidity."Have a test of your own medicine! Time to play a game of finding the tadpole!"
Poliwag suddenly leaped into the air, "Hypnosis!"
"The fluidity in his movement back there…It seems he finally gets it, every single movement his Pokemon makes, even a Gyrados on a rampage has fluidity of movements and every single action flows into one-another seamlessly." Misty thought to herself, "a good water specialist can grasp that nature of the water typing, and use it to their own advantage…"
"Starmie, rapid spin!" Misty ordered, "you still have a long way to go, boy!"
Kore scowled as the Starmie spun in place repeatedly, the violent splashes of water managing to disrupt Poliwag's hypnosis, "shit! I fell for her trap!"
Poliwag was then sent crashing against the platform from the rapid spin, "Psybeam!"
The tadpole Pokémon couldn't catch a single second to recover, as it was blasted by the beam of psychic energy, Poliwag groaned in pain, wincing from the Psybeam.
"Water pulse!"
The Starmie fired the pulse of pressured water, which collided with the tadpole Pokemon, who spun repeatedly in confusion.
"Fuck!"
"Poliwag, return!" Kore shouted bitterly, the Poliwag retracted into the PokeBall in a ray of scarlet light, as Kore muttered praise at the tadpole Pokemon, "Sorry, Exeo, I have to rely on you again!"
"Exeo, go!"
The Axolotl Pokemon appeared in a brilliant flash of scarlet light, grinning excitedly as it flopped around in the water.
"Starmie, start it off with a rapid spin and Psybeam!"
"Mud bomb!"
The Starmie spinner repeatedly, before lunging at Exeo, who fired the mud bomb at the starfish Pokémon, but to Kore's surprise, the attack simply bounced off of the Starmie, "what the-"
"Mud shot!" Kore hastily shouted, slamming his arm on one of the platform railings, it was too late, however, as Exeo was sent crashing against one of the platforms with a Psybeam.
"Psybeam!"
"Dodge!"
Exeo leaped into the air, before suddenly twisting his body, dodging the ray of psychic energy which narrowly slid past him, "mud shot!"
The Axolotl fired the attack, specifically aimed at the red gym at the core of the Starmie, the starfish Pokemon crashed into the water from its platform, letting out an alien-like noise as it fell.
"Mist!"
Wooper emitted a thick fog, which shrouded the surroundings, and the only Pokémon on the field that could see through it was Exeo.
"Starmie, detect the Wooper with your psychic powers!"
"Not if I do this!"
"Double team!"
Kore grinned, with the combination of mist and double team, Starmie was absolutely helpless against Exeo who could now ravage the starfish Pokémon.
"Mud shot and bomb!"
"Damn it! Psybeam!"
The Starmie fired a ray of psychic energy, which pierced through the thick fog, it spun itself repeatedly in circles, likely trying to identify the real one, but there were too many mirror images shrouded amidst the fog, and then…
Exeo bursted from the water, firing a mud shot at the Starmie, right at its center, which caused it to shriek again, and then, Exeo launched a mud bomb, which only served to mess with the Starmie.
"Repeat!"
The axolotol ducked back into the water, as Starmie desperately fired psybeams in hopes of hitting Exeo, but it was to no avail, as the Axolotl bursted from the water once again, this time behind Starmie.
The Starmie instantly turned around at the noise, but the instant it did, it was sent crashing deep into the water with a mud shot.
"Mud bomb!"
Exeo then fired a mum bomb the moment the Starmie resurfaced, but this time, the Starmie fired a Psybeam, which pierced Exeo, the two attacks both collided with each other, as they both fell into the water.
After a few seconds, both Pokémon bursted from the water, "Dodge!"
Exeo propelled himself with a water gun, crashing himself into the water, Starmie scanned its surroundings amidst the thick fog…
"Mud shot!"
From beneath the water, Starmie was sent flying into the air by a mud shot to the gemstone in the middle, this time, Starmie crashed on top of one of the platforms, completely still, as Exeo jumped onto the platform, grinning excitedly.
"Return, Starmie!"
And then, Kore heard it.
Several claps could be heard in the distant crowd, as the platform Kore stood on slowly extended towards the center, he jogged up to the center platform, where he then met Misty, her orange hair swaying as she grinned at him.
"You did great! That Poliwag caught me way off guard! Your Horsea did great, and that strategy you used with Wooper was pretty damn awesome!" Misty praised him, but Kore couldn't help but be flustered at the immense amount of praise he was receiving, as he simply chuckled and smiled back awkwardly.
Misty suddenly slid out a microphone, "I am proud to congratulate Kore Eversor here the Cascade Badge and the water pulse technical machine!"
The claps grew louder, it didn't stop until both Kore and Misty went back to their respective platforms, Kore stared at the water-droplet shape of the Cascade badge, rubbing his fingers over the smooth and prism texture of the badge.
He had done it, and he felt he deserved to feel the pride he is right now.
"Ah shit…my head is going to be so big after this…"
…
"Boss, we have received word from one of our agents that vice officer Gilbert has been killed, shall we exterminate the pest that did so?" A cold voice said, the man had light blue hair that was ruffled under a black hat, and wore a white uniform with a large red R imprinted onto the center.
"No need, Gilbert wasn't a particularly impressive individual, his laughingstock of a campaign was doomed to fail either ways." A voice said, the voice held power and stronk fear and awe to any who dare stood in his presence,"the only way to figure out the person who killed Gilbert's identity is through abusing my status, and the entire organization would collapse if I tried to do anything too risky that would result in my cover being blown."
"You're a strong and respectable trainer, Proton, you should know that Gilbert wouldn't have been of much use to us." The man stated, "Instead, we have a much more pressing issue."
Suddenly, a bright light pierced the room, it was the television, as the shadows of the boss were finally revealed, as the man's rough but lean body constrained by the rocket uniform was exposed, he had an aged complexion, but still had vigor burning in his eyes.
The room was fancy, full of trophies, photographs, and portraits, alongside being neatly cleaned and organized.
The television flicked open, as the news started playing.
"Welcome to the National Indigo Broadcasting channel, today we will report to you the raiding of several minor team rocket bases. The league has assembled a group of impressive ace trainers led by one man. This one man is young, but extraordinarily talented. His name is Gary Blue Oak, the young adult that got in the finals in his first year of training, won in his second year of training, went on to defeat two elite four members in Lorelei and Bruno, and has likely gotten even more powerful since the last seven months we've seen him in action. He will be leading the team, and the league has come out and has officially given them a name…"
"The exterminators, a simple name, but one that will surely strike fear into the terrorist group known as Team Rocket, the league vows that this team will exterminate Team Rocket's influence and power from Indigo, the underworld, and even in other regions."
The boss shuttled down the television, before turning to Executive Proton.
"Now, you should know now why I called you here in the first place, aside from the weekly report of course." The boss stated, Proton nodded politely in response.
"You ordered me here because I am the leader of the combat division, and wish for me to piece together and fortify the overall strength of Team Rocket against the league's new team."
"Bravo! Proton, as you know, Team Rocket has three main bases, one in Celadon through the game corner, one in Fuschia through the underground safari zone base, and one in Saffron which is hidden completely from the outside world." Giovanni runned down, "The infiltration division, led by Petrel, has already sent agents into the league to gather and spy on them for information, which will then be transmitted to Ariana's information division, and she will then give you the info on our plans."
"Just remember to fortify all of our major bases, the small bases don't matter much in the long game." The Rocket boss stated, as Proton nodded in response.
"You may leave now."
Executive Proton quickly left, taking note of several things the boss said, running through them as he left.
As the door shut close, the Rocket Boss sighed, as he replayed the news broadcast.
"Gary Blue Oak…son of Samuel Oak…"
He gritted his teeth in anger and resentment, as he slammed his wooden desk.
"That bastard Samuel…"
Memories flashed through him, as his anger spiked, he slammed the desk repeatedly, eyes bulging in anger.
"Those damn oaks…"
He cursed under his breath, "As much as I hate to admit it, both of them are a fucking pain in the ass."
"Samuel Oak…you were the reason…you humiliated my pride, I, Giovanni! Giovanni of viridian! Was humiliated because you were a meddling old man!"
He calmed himself down, still glaring at the image of Gary Oak playing on screen.
"Even if it kills me to admit this, that grandson of Oak is powerful…judging by the matches I've reviewed, he would most definitely match me in a Pokémon Battle at full strength."
Giovanni chuckled, throwing his head back, as the chuckle grew into crazed laughter.
"Does that fucking matter? No! No!"
He shut down the TV, still grinning wildly, still laughing with the littlest of sanity.
"I, leader of Team Rocket control everything about Indigo, both Johto and Kanto!" Giovanni boomed.
"I control the influx of Porygons through the game corner and Silph Co! I manipulate the underworld to my content! The government thinks they control the economy…"
Giovanni bursted into another fit of crazed laughter, "But I do! Team Rocket manipulates the entire flow of every single Pokémon import in both Kanto and Johto after all!"
"Keep trying, Indigo, you can send the entire elite four after Team Rocket…" Giovanni seemed to calm down, "But none of them can stand in front of the influences and might of Team Rocket."
A sly grin spread across Giovanni's face,"As after all…."
"Humans can't stand against legendaries."
With a single click of a button at the bottom of his desk, his bookshelves suddenly creaked, before slowly moving and exposing a secret door.
Giovanni slowly walked through the doors, as he finally came face to face with one, final door.
He entered the room, only to see a chamber…
"It's almost complete…"
The chamber had a humanoid figure, sleeping soundly, as a data bar was stocked onto the top of the chamber, the words "93%" encrypted onto it.
"With this, I have the power to rival legendaries!"
Giovanni grinned maniacally again, before going to a box placed on a desk right next to the chamber…
The box had a dozen purple Pokeballs with a circle of magenta on the side, with a white "M" written on the top center.
"And with this…"
"I can wield the legendaries."
…
