I woke up at 4:00 AM. I boarded Archeops and flew over to where Red was sleeping. I landed stealthily on the edge and jumped off and found him lying against a rock asleep with a Pikachu on his lap. I pulled out my Devon Pad and Texted Red's mom.

"I found him, we are on top of the Power Plant North of Lavender Town."

Red's eyes snapped open and he sprung to his feet. Pikachu was poised for battle.

"Red, wait!" I tried to begin explaining and he pulled out another Pokeball. He released his Charizard and then boarded him. I knew that he was just going to try to escape so I sent out everyone of my Pokemon. Red tossed out 4 other Pokeballs. Darman attacked the Venusaur. As unbelievable as it was that Red's Pokemon didn't need orders, they knew him well enough to perform on their own!

"Quick Sam, use Hydro Pump and take out Charizard before Red can get away!"

Venusaur knocked Darman out of the way and took the Hydro Pump for Charizard.

"Ivon use leaf blade to knock out Venusaur."

Ivon started to make his leaf sword when a bolt of lightning shot from Pikachu as he knocked out everyone of my Pokemon. Red called back his Pokemon accept for Charizard and Pikachu. Pikachu leaped from the building onto Red's shoulder. I called all my Pokemon back and realized that Red had just defeated all my Pokemon at once. If Red didn't want to be caught I was going to need some better training.

I watched helplessly as Red flew off into the sunrise. He was tough, I thought I was tough, then I battled him. Red had gone into something crazy. I didn't know what, but something was wrong it just didn't add up right. The pieces of the puzzle were just not clicking, Red wasn't acting normal. His mom said that he changed, it just didn't make sense. What changed in him, what is he after and why. I knew these questions were pointless, I just needed a few more pieces then I could put it together.

I walked into the Pokemon center and got my Pokemon healed, then I set off to the nearest phone booth, I needed some favors from an old friend.
