Chapter 6
Don't Dream It's Over
The next morning, Will arrived at Silph Company for the first day of his new job. He was very skilled with computers, so he had applied for and gotten a job working on computer programs for the company. When it was his coffee break, he decided to explore the computer to see what was on it. When he did, he discovered that things that Team Rocket had been working on had not been deleted.
What's this? he thought.
He started looking at some information about the "Anti-Silph Scope."
This instrument, when used on a person, has the ability to turn a person into a ghost, he read. It allows a person to become completely invisible, pass through walls, and be invulnerable to any sort of physical attack. A person can still pick up things, and must be able to, as he or she must still eat and drink to survive. Only with a Silph Scope can the result of an Anti-Silph Scope be reversed.
Will paused after reading this. Why would anyone want to turn himself into a ghost? he thought. This must have been something innocent they were developing.
He then read the next item.
Blaster Bomb: an extremely dangerous device used for causing severe explosions. This advice is handheld, and must be thrown a long distance in order to avoid blowing up one's self. A lock prevents the bomb from being accidentally activated.
Will looked at this item in utter shock. This could have been what Team Rocket was planning on using to blow up some cities… or maybe this is what Giovanni used when he got blown up himself!
Will then went back to work, but not without worry. If Team Rocket's materials were still on his computer, they could be on any other of the computers in the building. And that meant that someone could easily go on a computer and figure out how to create the devices that Team Rocket was manufacturing.
That evening, Will went over to Sabrina's house. As he stepped up to the door, Liza appeared next to him.
"Liza?!" he said in shock.
"Yes, I can teleport now!" Liza said happily.
"See, Sabrina isn't all that bad," Will said.
I'm not all that bad? Sabrina said telepathically to Will, appearing on his other side.
Sorry, Sabrina, you know what I meant, Will said.
You're lucky I do, Sabrina said. Now what have you come to tell me?
I found Team Rocket's plans on my computer, Will said. They were making a couple of devices, the Anti-Silph Scope and the Blaster Bomb.
And you think that Giovanni used the Blaster Bomb when he was trying to blow us up? Sabrina asked.
That's right, Will said.
What's this Anti-Silph Scope? Liza asked.
It turns a person into a ghost, Will said. It makes them invulnerable to any attack. I don't know why they were making it, it sounds like some failed experiment to me.
Mrs. Saffron opened the door. "Come on in," she said. "I've prepared a meal for you."
The three walked inside to go eat.
"You will teach me how to teleport, too?" Will asked Sabrina.
"If you want," Sabrina said.
The three of them ate, but not without Will worrying about Team Rocket.
I know you're nervous, Sabrina said. Why are you worrying about Team Rocket?
If their information is still on these computers, then workers could go on them and create the items that Team Rocket was working on, Will said.
But why would anyone want to do that? Liza said.
Remember that Lt. Surge and Blaine were let out of prison, Sabrina said. Will has a point; if they get that information, they could use it to recreate the objects of destruction Team Rocket was manufacturing before. They could also pay someone at Silph Company to give them that information or to produce something for them.
I'm going to take charge and make sure all of their information is deleted off all the computers in the place, Will said. I'll ask the new boss of Silph Company if I can do this, because it is of extreme importance.
Somehow I feel responsible for this, Sabrina said.
Don't keep on beating yourself up over the past, Will said. Everyone forgives you. It's over with.
Sabrina and Will both sat there, nervous for slightly different reasons. Will was worried that Team Rocket could make a comeback; Sabrina was nervous that she would be responsible for a possible Team Rocket comeback.
