In a large, but dimly-lit room, an Entei is in a big metal cage, roaring ferociously and aggressively attacking (scratching and biting the bars, charging at the cage from all sides, using fire-type attacks) the cage to break free. The other legendary Pokémon are doing the same thing. At the very end of the room, there are three more cages, but they are bigger and they're empty.

Somewhere at a forest, there is a large, black building that resembles a warehouse with a capitalized, red, san-serif "r" on its gable, over an automatic steel garage door. The door lifts up and two Rocket grunts – a male and a female – in a jeep with the same "r" on the doors exits the building. Once it drives far enough away, Brendan, Lucas, and Silver peek out from the trees near the storage facility. They walk up to the front of the building and observe it, starting with the entrance.

"Well, dude." Said Brendan to Silver. "It looks like you were right on the money with this."

"Told ya." Smugly replied Silver.

The doors begin to slowly close.

"Come on!" said Lucas. "Hurry!"

Lucas and Brendan make a run for it to get inside before the door closes.

Brendan: "Come on, dude. (Looks behind) We gotta… (He stops running) Dude?"

He looks at where Silver was standing, but he's not there.

Brendan: (staggered) "Where the heck did he…"

Lucas: (gesturing and calling to Brendan) "Brendan! Move!"

Brendan: (looks at Lucas, regaining his focus) "Huh? Oh, right."

The two roll under the closing door, but Brendan's hat falls off; he reaches back to grab it just before the garage door fully closes, sealing them inside. Moments later, they are walking through the hallway of the HQ.

Brendan: "Okay, so we're in. Now what?"

Lucas: "We just need to find Banner. He's got to be around here somewhere."

Brendan: "And how are we supposed to do that?"

Suddenly, they hear footsteps and voices coming from the left corner. Lucas looks and sees two grunts walking towards them. Luckily, they don't see them; they're talking to each other. Lucas begins to gasp since they're sitting ducks, but in an exasperated groan, he looks up at the ceiling; his face lights up.

Team Rocket grunt #5: "No way. You actually heard that?"

Team Rocket grunt #6: "Uh-huh. Yep."

Team Rocket grunt #5: "Get out."

Team Rocket grunt #6: "No, I'm serious. I actually heard this by accident. There's someone here who had a 'wham bam' with the boss."

Team Rocket grunt #5: "No doubt. Trying to get a promotion to rise up to the ranks."

Team Rocket grunt #6: "Yeah. (Chuckles) But you know what I heard?"

Team Rocket grunt #5: "What? What else?"

Team Rocket grunt #6: "I heard that she had a…"

Lucas and Brendan got in the ceiling vents before the grunts could see them. They look through the vent grilles to see them pass by, then they crawl through in the direction the grunts came from. After a couple of minutes of crawling, they drop down from the ceiling to the control room. There, they see from the various monitors different rooms within the HQ.

"Come on, Banner." Lucas says while skimming through the different screens. "Where are you?"

"Lucas!" alerted Brendan. "Look!" Lucas looks to where his friend is pointing at - on one of the screens, they see Giovanni and 4 other grunts forcefully push Bruce Banner into a room.

Lucas: "There he is!"

Brendan: "And there he goes."

Lucas: "Hold on, Banner! We're coming!"

They turn to go out the door, but gasp when they see a grunt with an intense, crazed stare, arms crossed, and skinny frame blocking the exit.

Team Rocket CR grunt: "Not so fast, you too! You're not going anywhere."

Brendan: (scared) "Oh, man. Busted!"

Team Rocket CR grunt: "At least… (Takes out a condensed Pokéball) not without a fight."

He presses the button to convert it to its full size; Brendan and Lucas do the same with theirs.

Team Rocket CR grunt: (throws his Pokéball) "Go! Seviper!"

A Seviper comes out of the Pokéball. It hisses at the trainers.

Brendan: (grins) "Now that's more like it! (Throws Pokéball) Go, Swampert!"

Lucas: (throws Pokéball) "I choose you, Infernape!"

The trainer's chosen Pokémon strike a pose.

Team Rocket CR grunt: "Seviper, use Wrap on that Infernape!"

Seviper wraps its entire body around Infernape, immobilizing him.

Team Rocket CR grunt: "Squeeze the life out of him!"

Lucas: "I don't think so! Big mistake! Infernape, use Flame Wheel!"

Team Rocket CR grunt: (shocked, realizing his mistake) "What?! No!"

Infernape engulfs itself in flame and Seviper shrieks in pain and let's go; the fang snake's scales are char burned from tail to nose.

Brendan: "Allow me to cool you down. Swampert, use Hydro Pump!"

Swampert sends a high pressure blast of water at the Fang Snake Pokémon and its trainer, pushing them out of the control room. Lucas, Brendan, and their Pokémon run out into the hallway to find the room where Team Rocket took Bruce. They accidentally encounter two more grunts. They send out a Scyther, a Crawdaunt, a Weavile, and an Ariados to the battle; Brendan sends out his Shiftry to join the others. The grunts manage to knock out the kids' Pokémon, as well as the other way around, except for Ariados.

"Hands above your heads!" said one of the grunts. "You two are coming with us."

Brendan and Lucas raise both their hands as high as they can. Brendan fearfully thinks to himself, "OH, CRAP!"
