"Lenora?" I ask. She sets down her newspaper and looks at me. "You seem like a worthy opponent," she says. I line up on my side of the battlefield. We both toss out our pokemon. "Go Aron!" I say. Aron appears. My opponent is a Patrat. "Metal Claw!" I yell, and Aron attacks. I hit it, but not directly. The Patrat jumps away so I hit it's side. I tell Aron to use Iron Defense. Patrat attacks with tackle, my Aron ducks and counters with tackle. One down, two to go.
I return Aron and send out the mystery pokemon. It's a Tirtouga. I check the Pokedex. It knows Water Gun, Rock Throw, Harden, Rollout, and Bite. A good arsenal of moves. Lenora sends out her Lillipup. "Let's test him out," I say. "Rollout!" I say. It hits and seems not to do much. Lillipup increases its power with Work Up. Tirtouga hits again with Rollout. It does more than before. Rollout again. It hits with a lot of power. Lillipup is confused and Tirtouga keeps ramming into him at extreme speeds, each hit with increasing power. Lenora tries to return Lillipup, but Tirtouga blocks the beam of red light. Tirtouga delivers the final hit. 1 left.
I decide to let Pidove handle the next battle. Lenora sends out a Minccino. I attack first with Quick Attack. Minccino uses Attract. Pidove falls in love and cannot attack. "Pidove use Wing Attack!" I try to tell it, but it doesn't listen. Minccino keeps hitting it with DoubleSlap, and Pidove can't attack back. Pidove seems to be slowly getting weaker. It gets weaker until it's almost fainted. I return it to its pokeball, I won't be able to use it later.
I send out my Tirtouga. "Rock Throw!" I say, and it gathers a chunk of rock. It throws it, but Minccino dodged it. Thinking quickly, I tell it to use Tackle. It catches Minccino off-guard. Minccino tries to use attract, but Tirtouga isn't affected because of gender. "Use bite!" I command him. It bites Minccino. Lenora tells Minccino to use DoubleSlap. It hits Tirtouga several times, but it's not very effective. It then starts to store energy. "Hit it with Rock Throw!" I tell Tirtouga. It nods and gets a rock, and it slowly gets bigger. It then chucks it, but it misses. Minccino charges at Tirtouga, using bide. It seems like I might have to switch, but Tirtouga flashes in a bright white light. It used protect! Tirtouga finishes the battle with Water Gun. Another badge.
Great, I'm five minutes late. I rush out to the center of town, but he's not there. I go to Pinwheel Forest, but he's not there. I look around, but I see nothing. I go back to the city. I glance around just to be sure. I don't see him. I don't hear him. In fact, I don't hear anything. No one is here. Lenora comes out of her gym and notices the silence too. "What's wrong?" she asks. "I honestly don't know," I reply. I tell her to stay back. I go back into the forest. I see a hat on the ground. It seems to cover the whole head. I smell it. It smells dusty, like a warehouse. Warehouse. That's it. I clutch my pokeball as I enter the city. "Lenora, follow me," I tell her. We go into the city's largest warehouse.
I grunt in effort as I pry open the large door. Light filters in, and I see a person. In the hat that I saw in the forest. He has a gray uniform with occasional blue parts. It has a "P" on the chestplate. I glance to my left and notice the citizens of the city tied up, with duct tape on their mouths. I think the guy with the weird uniform kidnapped him. He looks up from his newspaper and sees us. He puts out his Pokemon, a Patrat. We easily take it down with our Pokemon. He pushes a button which puts an alarm on and flashes a red light. A whole arsenal of people come out of a room in the back of the warehouse. "You shouldn't have messed with Team Plasma," one of them says.
