The next morning, the Old Man had gathered up all of his people. He was out in the center of a huge circle full of the kids. "I know that some of are coming of age." He started. "But we have a situation. Some people who became pokemon recently became humans again, and are disobeying the laws!"

All the children around started to mutter, some cursing at Missy and her friends. "But now that they have done this, gather up all the Pokemon! We're going to attack the world, making them all become Pokemon, just like Yasuo's words!" He boomed, rising has cane in the air.

All the children cheered, and all moved away. They all gathered the Pokemon around them, getting ready for a war if they all must, just to bring the human race down. After an hour, all the Pokemon around them were gathered. Almost all of them except the legendaries. They faced the city of Mauville, getting ready to attack when it's closer to midnight…

Missy woke up that morning with Mary with her. Chad and Rick were gone at the moment. Missy sat up, rubbing her eyes. "Where's Chad and Rick?"

"They went out searching for any clues about those people." Mary said.

"Well, I hope they're ok."

"You're still shaking? Was that nightmare really that bad?"

"Yeah, it was." She said. "It didn't really feel like a dream or a nightmare, almost like a premonition of what's to come. We should be preparing for anything."

"Yeah." Mary said. "What do you wanna do now?" Mary asked.

"I don't really know. Wanna got outside?"

"Ok, that sounds good. You probably need some fresh air anyway." Mary took Missy's hand and led her outside. Missy was still wary of being outside now, after that nightmare she just had.

Chad and Rick were walking on the outskirts of the village. They split up so they both could cover all the entrances to the village and behind the city, to see if they could find anything about the people coming this way.

Chad went one way, opposite of Rick. She sighed. He made his way already around the city five times, each time seeing Rick and asked if he had seen anything, and the usual answer was a No. Chad sighed, about to give up one this as he was about to come up to Rick now, seeing him coming his way.

But something happened. One minute Rick was in front of him, and the next he fell and was being dragged into the forest. Eye wide, Chad ran over to where Rick was at, and followed after him, seeing the boys and girls dragging Rick off.

"Hey!" Chad said, running up, when a net and came up and captured Chad in the net. He struggled, trying to get out of the trap, but couldn't. The last thing he saw before being knocked out was an older girl cutting the ropes and taking him further into their hiding spot.

The people were trying to capture all the civilians, so they could turn them all at once, to show their true powers…

Later that night, Mary and Missy were starting to get worried. They were looking for Chad and Rick, but couldn't find them. They went to the Pokemon center, but Nurse Joy wasn't there. They went to the police station, nobody was in there. Not even the Pokemon were in sight. It seemed like the whole city was gone, the people in it disappeared.

It seemed the only ones who didn't disappear were Mary, Missy, Sherice and Watson, the Gym leader. Although, his Pokemon was gone.

"Where did everyone go?" Asked Mary, after they all told Watson what was going on. He anted to help now, since his Pokemon were stolen by the same people.

"I don't know, but it's getting close to Midnight, the time of Transformation." Sherice said, looking at her watch. "I bet you it's those people again."

"You mean they captured the whole town?" Watson asked suddenly. His was getting fumigated. He had promise to protect his town, and he felt like he was not holding up to it right now.

"We should not separate. That is how they will get us, stick together and we can beat them." Missy said. "We're going to have to head into the forest."

They all left the ghost town and headed into the village, all four sticking close together. They maneuvered their way through the forest, eventually coming up to a camp fir. They saw many cages throughout the whole forest clearing. Almost more than a hundred cages. Where had they gotten those cages? In each one, at least the maximum of two citizens in each.

Mary gasped. She could see the people there, dancing around the fire as they waited for it to be midnight.

"Damn, it's getting close. It's 11:40." Sherice muttered, looking at her watch again.

"Let's sneak around and see if we can break the cages?" Watson suggested, and they all nodded, but it was ruined. There was at least one boy or girl guarding each cage and they were close together so they would know they were there.

11:45….

"The only way we can do this is to get the cure into their blood streams. But how do we do it." Mary said.

"We're going to need a distraction, or more then likely, two. To keep the people away from the cages and away from the camp." Sherice calculated.

"I'll do it." Missy offered.

"Me, too." Mary also agreed.

"You both do realize that your are at risk of being caught and bitten by a Pokemon." Watson said.

They both nodded. "Our friends are there, we have to do what we can to help them." They both said.

"Ok, hurry up then. Both me and Watson will inject as much people as we can."

Missy was set up at the cages. Mary stood near the camp. On three, Missy jumped from the bushes in front of the people in the cages. She taunted them, sticking her tongue out. "Can't catch me!" And then she ran off while the kids all ran after her.

Mary jumped from her side, doing the same think and spanked her but to taunt them more. Then she ran off with them all following her.

With them gone, Sherice moved to the first cage. Her part of the cure in a syringe. She injected the two people in that cage, and looked at her watch. 11:55.

Watson did the same, moving from cage to cage, injecting them with the cure. He wanted to save his people, and he would do so. Sherice told him that they might not save all of them, but they'll save at least some of them.

Sherice wanted to look for Chad and Rick next as she filled her syringe up. She saw them both, back at the end of the cages.

11:58

Sherice then sprinted over to their cage.

11:59

Sherice was almost there. There was a bunch of people, screaming and grabbing her arm to stop her and to help them.

12:00….

Missy ran as far as she could, while being cornered at a dead end by a cliff. She turned around to face them, seeing them all advancing. She turned back to the cliff, starting to climb up it.

The kids made it to her, one of the taller ones jumped up, able to reach her foot. He grabbed it, and pulled her down. Missy quickly lost her grip on the cliff, and fell down to the ground. They all caught her, and gripped her arms and legs tightly…

Mary was captured soon, running out of energy to run and her legs gave in on her. They soon got her, and took her back to the camps to be bitten….

It was too late. Sherice couldn't get to Chad and Rick in time. Sherice stopped, hearing horrible screams filling the air. Sherice and Watson covered their ears in an attempt to block the screaming, but it wouldn't work.

Sherice opened an eyes, seeing Chad and Rick there, transforming into whatever Pokemon they were bitten by. Chad fell to his knee, holding his sides. He screamed out in pain. The clothes on his back seemed to be getting bigger as something started to grow from his back. His clothes ripped, revealing that a large tree had grown out of his back. It looked like Chad was growing at a huge rate, and it looked like grass was covering his back. Metal plates formed out of his back, surrounding the tree and forming a little hump on its back. Spikes grew from the area. His pants ripped, as a thick, scaly looking green and brown tail formed out of the private area of his body. His arms were getting thicker and so were his legs. They were brown and silver looking things formed at the end of them. His head was left. Out of his ears, silver spikes formed on either side of his head. His face shifted forward, becoming an oval shape until he had become a Torterra.

Rick didn't seem to be in much pain. His whole body got bigger, thicker, and rounder. It blew up until it looked like a Snorlax belly. His whole skin turned the color of a Snorlax. His hair had turned dark blue, and little pointy ears grew out as his eyes closed. Two little teeth came out of his mouth. His feet bloated out, becoming big and round with three little claws. His hands were short and only a few claws on it.

Sherice looked around, seeing everybody being transformed. She saw Watson was captured by some of the people, and then she was captured, and tied up. She looked around, seeing squirming Missy and Mary and hung her head.

Their mission had failed…
