I tightly grip my pokeball. We're outnumbered, 9 to 2. Hmmm...if only... That's it! "Go Aron!" I say as I toss out my pokemon. Lenora sends out her Minccino. I whisper to Lenora, "Distract them!" She uses Attract, which affects about half of the opponents. I make a quick glance at Steve and we lock eye contact. "Metal Claw!" Aron charges toward them and fakes a sideways trip. After getting up, he cuts the rope from Steve. He sends out Marill to help us out. With the three of us, we now have an advantage.

Steve and I both target one Pokemon at a time, pelting them with Metal Claw, Rock Throw, Bubblebeam, and Water Gun. We handle 6 of them, and Lenora got the other two. "Wow, we just beat eight people!" I exclaim, and we're really happy. "Wait...8...weren't there 9?" Steve questions. One of them is gone, and Lenora is too. "Oooh... this is bad...Bad bad bad!" I say. I hear a thump and the lights slowly shut off. I try to run to the exit, but an extreme pain hits me directly in the side of my head. The last thing I remember is a large Pokemon standing in front of me, and I hear a faint voice. "Quickly, tie th..." is the last thing I hear before getting knocked out.

I wake up for a long sleep. I feel a bit groggy. I'm in a jail cell, in a bright white building. Steve is just across the aisle, in an identical cell. I try to get up, but an intense pain shears my left side. I crumple down on the floor. "Ow..." I grunt weakly. Steve is still knocked out. I hear footsteps, and my instincts make me turn. A tall man with brown hair, who is in the Team Plasma uniform is walking past me. His armor clinks and he walks. "He's awake!" he yells, and I expect to be attacked. Unexpectedly, they unlock the cell. Two guards pull me down the main hall. Whenever I lag, they shove me forwards.

After a long walk through the corridors of the building, I am pushed into a large hall with a raised roof. In the middle of the corridor stands a blue throne, and an elderly looking man in sitting there. "Welcome, Leonardo. We have heard much about you. Do you like our base?" the man introduces himself as Ghetsis. "It's very..." I try to find the right word. "roomy," I finish. "Anyways, what do you want with me?" I ask. I'm trying to be as kind as I can, without offending him. I just want to get out of here. "We," he pauses. "want you to join Team Plasma," I'm shocked. I've barely even started my journey, and I'm already invited to join the crime team in Unova. I'm not sure if this is going to work out.

I honestly have no interest in being a villain, so I decline. "Then we'll get you to join by force!" he raises his voice. The guards pull out their guns. I duck to avoid the bullets, and they end up shooting each other. They're using electrically charged guns, no surprise there. I quickly run out of the room, dashing out through the halls. After a few people notice me running, they chase after me. I gain a small lead, and turn around behind an automatic door. There's a keypad with the numbers 0-9 on it. I punch a random code, and luckily it closes. An alarm goes off, and the doors ahead of me is slowly closing. I barely manage to make it through the last few doors. After the end of all of the hallways, I'm in a room filled with briefcases. I open one, and it's filled with red and white Pokeballs. I grab as many as I can and run out of the main door.

I make it back to the Pokemon Center late at night. During our capture, most of the citizens were able to escape during the distraction. I stay the night at the Pokemon Center and wake up to the sun filtering through the windows. It seems like a normal morning until I remember that Team Plasma is after me. Could be a better way to spend my past few days. I guess I have 3... maybe 2 days to get out of here before they capture me. If I stop, I might get caught. I never expected my life to get like this.
