RGBY - Vol. 1 - Saffron City Summary - A Legendary Dragon is searching for something...

1.5 - Reunion

Edited - 8/3/18


Bill sat there working and studying on his laptop at his desk. He looked through the glass window of his office, seeing hundreds of armored ants moving pieces and parts around a giant machinery. "A gate way to another dimension… the dream world. Hmm?"

Bill's laptop flashed red, repeatedly beeping "ALERT!"

"What is this? The gate hasn't been open yet." Bill examined the problem. "Where is this disturbance coming from?"

Somewhere else… a dragon enveloped by a strange red world roared angrily. A portal opened up forth as the dragon hurried quickly. The dragon came closer and closer until a blast of light struck him, pushing him off course. The dragon regained balanced, noticing his portal has been shattered apart. His piercing eyes gazed upon the moon-shaped being with great hatred.

"GRAAAAAAAAHW!" The dragon screamed in anger!

Bill looked at the rate of the disturbance decreasing, the "ALERT!" message stopped.

"What... What was that?" Bill waved his arms back forth. He noticed something from his desk.

A tiny pink pearl… cracked.

"The pearl I collected from Cinnabar's beach." Bill sighed. He fixated his gaze onto the pearl for a minute. He then looked to the ceiling wondering. "A bad omen?"


A four-armed Pokemon bearing muscles, Machamp, was thrown to the wooden flat surface. Poliwrath flexed his biceps, much to the surprise of the Karate Master.

"You have defeated me in battle Red!" The Karate Master sporting his black belt uniform stood tall before the two.

Red returned Poliwrath as Yellow stood there in boredom. Pika sat there happily cheering on as ChuChu's eyes sparkled at the sight of the battle.

"For your victory!" The Karate Master held a red band in the palm of his hands. "I give you the Focus Band! Only a great trainer such as yourself Red should able to wield it in battle!"

"Um… thanks… but?" Red looked around. There were no other students, participants, no one here at this dojo. It was quite empty. "But… where is everyone?"

"Ah. Believe it or not. The Fighting Dojo used to be a Pokemon Gym before Sabrina came." The Karate Master explained. "Since the Psychic Gym opened up, we lost our status as gym and more people were interested in becoming Psychics instead of Martial Artists and our most popular master, Master Kiyo, is training somewhere in the Tohjo Falls of Johto."

"How is this place still opened?" Yellow asked.

"That is a good question." The Karate Master smiled. "Ever since Sabrina took away our gym status, she has been more merciful after the Team Rocket incident years ago in Saffron. She and her fellow Gym Leaders use this dojo for their official training together. This place draws lots of visitors every time the Gym Leaders duke it out."

"That sounds awesome! I wonder why Green never mentioned this place." Red said.

"Speaking of which. How about you young lady? Care for a battle?" The Karate King smiled.

"Uh… me?" Yellow looked at ChuChu playing with Pika. "No thank you. That's more Red's thing. I don't really like hurting Pokemon. I like finishing battles instead. Besides, ChuChu's my baby. Isn't that right?" Yellow picked up ChuChu with both hands, smiling widely.

"Chu!" ChuChu happily rubbed her head against her face and neck with a big smile.

"Hehe. I'll always be your side ChuChu!" Yellow said.

"A newcomer then?" The Karate King interrupted the moment. "Perhaps you should try out the actual gym next door. I heard Sabrina is back in Kanto!"

"Look. I'm not really interested in…"

"ChuChu!" ChuChu smiled in her hands, buzzing her electric cheek pouches, using her little paws to punch the air.

"Pika?" Pika gave a determined smile to ChuChu, nodding in agreement, punching the air as well.

"What?" Yellow looked worried. "You want to battle again after what happened in Viridian City!"

"ChuChu!" ChuChu nodded, smiling.

"Hehe." Red chuckled. "I think Pika's love for battles may have rubbed on ChuChu."

"Well…" Yellow couldn't quite finish that sentence. Unsure about this.

"Pika... Chu…" Pika and ChuChu interrupted her chain of thought.

"C'mon!" Yellow looked at their baby-doll eyes, their cute eyes big and wide staring deep into Yellow's soul. "But!"

"Pika... Chu..." Pika and ChuChu's eyes grew bigger.

"Fine I suppose…" Yellow sighed. "I guess we could give it another try before meeting up with the others."

"That's the spirit!" Red smiled.

"ChuChu! Pika!" The Pikachu's jumped in the air with a smile.


Red and Yellow entered the Saffron City's Gym, their Pikachus dawdling behind looking around. It was nowhere as grand or as decorated as some of the other gyms Red visited. Brock's Gym had a sturdy rock arena while Misty's was set as a large pool and an aquarium. Here it was just a tiny room with two metal pads on each corner.

"This is Sabrina's Gym?" Red looked disappointed.

"You sound like you've never been here." Yellow looked around.

"I haven't been to all the gyms actually. I got the rest of the badges at Silph Co. when Team Rocket attacked." Red walked over to one of the pads. "I wonder what are thes…"

Red took a step, instantly vanishing into thin air as the pad glowed green.

"What!? Pika!? Chu!?" Yellow and the Pikachus gasped.

The pad glowed green again as Red popped back in smiling.

"You gotta check this out Yellow! The room leads to other rooms! It's a teleporter!" Red smiled.

"Thank goodness…" Yellow took a deep breath, feeling relief.

"C'mon." Red quickly grabbed her hand. "Let's go explore the rest of these rooms out!"

"Um... okay." Yellow smiled as she was being pulled to the teleporter.


Green, Blue and Silver walked through much of the busy populace of Saffron City. Blue smiled happily as usual, Green held his hands deep into his pockets looking around while Silver glanced his eyes back and forth at every Saffron citizen he passed by.

"People are really busy huh." Blue spoke.

"Yeah. Years ago Rocket took control of this entire city." Green responded. "Now their just continuing on with their daily lives like nothing happened years ago."

"Yeah… I heard about that from Green." Silver frowned. "They practically blocked off the entire city from the rest of the world. To think they were able to achieve something like that makes them really dangerous and…"

"Hey! Turn that frown upside down!" Blue turned to Silver. "Enough talk about Rocket. Let's just enjoy the rest of the day until Red and Yellow get here."

"But what about your parents or that Rocket glove we found?" Green spoke.

"My parents are safe at Pallet Town. I told them I'm off to Saffron to visit Silph Co. and only that!"

"Won't your parents worry?" Silver asked.

"Better not tell them to be honest. Don't want them panicking and doing everything they can to prevent me coming here. Besides I made a promise to Bill to come here." Blue said. "Also I know that glove is a dangerous sign but… I don't know. I feel like there's something odd about it."

"What do you mean?"

"I agree." Green replied. "There is something that is bothering me. From how Blue explained it, that person seemed to battle you to analyze you right?"

"Mhm." Blue nodded.

"What's so odd about that?" Silver asked.

"Doesn't that strike you as odd at all?" Green turned to Silver. "Your old man is a resourceful and clever guy. Team Rocket should already have information on our battle styles knowing them. Giovanni himself came prepared with both the knowledge and Deoxys to re-challenge Red for the title of Pokemon Champion. Why would they want to reanalyze Blue's battle styles up and personal? I would think they would know our tactics and strategies on a constant basis without having to go through so much trouble."

"Hmm… is someone else in charge of Team Rocket?" Silver spoke. "Someone new... like the Mask of…"

"Hey." Blue smiled at Silver. Silver stood there fixated on her smile in such strange times. "I said enough talk about Team Rocket! Let's just relax for today."

"Um... sure." Silver nodded.

"Good!" Blue turned around, her eyes pointing to a man yelling faraway. "Hmm?"

"Everyone! Everyone! Citizens! Adventurers! Come and behold me, the professional Mr. Psychic!" Mr. Psychic shouted next to a pink hippo-like Pokemon as people gathered around. "Don't call me Uncle Psychic! Mr. Psychic is my name! I can lift and bend spoons, read your minds or I can teach you the technical machine known as Psychic! I can do these things and you will not regret it… for 200 Pokedollars of course hehe."

"Mind reading? Like Yellow's psychic powers!" Blue smiled, grabbing Silver by the arm. "C'mon! Let's check it out."

"Wait what?" Silver looked nervous.

"So who will be first? A nifty levitation trick? Adventurers who want to teach their Pokemon the move Psychic? I know it all ladies and gents! Or perhaps you want to test my mind-reading skills!"

"Mind-reading skills please!" Blue walked forward happily dragging Silver behind.

"Our first customer of the day Slowpoke!" Mr. Psychic smiled at his Pokemon.

"Slooooooooo…" Slowpoke yawned.

"So young lady! Anything in particular?"

"Nope but I want you to mind-read my friend here!" Blue giggled.

"I'm sorry… what?" Silver's eyes widened.

"C'mon! Have some fun!"

"I can think of a million other things to have fun other than stupid mind-reading tricks."

"Stupid?!" Mr. Psychic responded. "I have you know that I am one of the best mind readers of Saffron City! Now anything in particular?"

"Not really. Let's just get this over with." Silver muttered.

"Okay." Mr. Psychic cracked his knuckles. The man closed his eyes, reaching out his hand to Silver's forehead. "Ah… I see…"

Silver crossed his arms, rolling his eyes. "See what?"

"You lived quite a harsh life, you and that young lady."

Silver froze for a second. "Um… Blue. I don't think he should know…"

"Shh! Let him speak!" Blue looked curious.

"Yes. Quite the hard life, tragic actually. I won't speak anymore of it but… throughout your travels you have made many friends, both Pokemon and people. Also… there is happiness for you young man." Mr. Psychic smiled at him.

"H… happiness? What? What do you mean?" Silver looked nervous.

"A very special lady in your life hee hee." Mr. Psychic chuckled.

"Ooh! A special lady! Who is it!" Blue smiled.

"Time to go!" Silver backed off, handing him the 200 Pokedollars. "Here! Take it!"

Mr. Psychic took the money. "Sure but…"

"Whoa!" Blue yelled as she felt her arm dragged by Silver. "What's with you Silver?"

"Tell her! Tell her before it's too late!" Mr. Psychic shouted.

Silver gritted his teeth, face turned bright red as his hair.

"Huh… well that happened." Green sighed, watching the pair walk off.

"How about you young man?" Mr. Psychic looked at him.

"No thanks. I think I've ran into enough psychics and tricksters." Green could still remember the ninja from the Pokémon Tower, the psychic from Saffron and the elderly woman cackling like a witch. "Far too many to be honest."


Red and Yellow continued teleporting to room after room. It was the same. There were no trainers anywhere. Pika and ChuChu looked bored as ever. Red, Yellow, Pika and ChuChu took a step forth into the teleporter, finding themselves in a far larger room.

"Where is everyone? Aren't there normally trainers in gyms?" Yellow looked around.

"This is pretty big compared to all the others. Must be the Gym Leaders room." Red spoke.

"Who's that?" Yellow pointed at a figure standing in the shadows.

"Huh? Um… why hello there?" The tall man stepped forward.

The pair saw an old mustachio man in a brown suit wearing a brown top hat and sunglasses, holding a suitcase.

"Who are you? Where is everyone?" Red walked forth.

"Ah. You must be challengers. I thought the gym was locked." The old man spoke.

Yellow could see and sense another figure from behind him, it looked like a Pokemon of some sort.

"Well anyways." The Old Man continued. "Everyone is at home until Sabrina comes back. She's busy as a movie star you know."

Yellow responded. "But we've been told by the Karate Master next door that she's back in Kanto."

"Um… that's because… she's back in Kanto, not necessarily in Saffron City at her gym duties. Again. The movie star life is a very busy and demanding lifestyle for the miss."

"Well… then who are you?" Red crossed his arms.

"Me?" The old man smiled. "I've been personally chosen by Sabrina as the Gym Leader stand-in and the Gym's caretaker."

"Really? You must be really strong to be recommended by Sabrina? Care for a battle." Red smiled.

"A battle?" He grinned.

"Oh you must know me! I can see that innocent-looking smile on your face. You want try out some new tricks right?" Red smiled, pointing his finger at his wide malicious grin and his crazed look in his eyes.

"Uh… innocent?" Yellow gulped at the old man's scary smile.

"Pika? Chu?" The Pikachus gulped.

"Uh… yes. Sorry if that bugs you. I… have... a strong love for battling. It's a bad habit of mines that needs control." He stopped smiling. "So Red. What Pokemon do you want to use?"

"Me? Sorry I forgot. I want Yellow to battle first for the badge. Then me! Sounds good?" Red smiled.

"You are the challenger?" The old man eyed the young girl.

"I guess so." Yellow walked forward to one end of the battle stage.

"Okay. Alakazam. Come out." The Old Man glanced back to the figure in the shadows.

"Alakazam." A golden fox-like creature walking on two legs, holding two spoons stepped forward.

"Alakazam." Yellow thought. "What's good against Alakazam?"

"Use Butterfree! Bug types are great against Alakazam!" Red shouted.

"Oh. Thanks Red." Yellow picked up a Pokeball.

"Chu!" ChuChu shook the left side of her jeans with her little paws, showing a sad look in her eyes.

"That's right. You wanted to battle as well." Yellow looked at her Pikachu. She pointed to the battle stage. "Okay! I choose you Pikachu!"

"Chu!" ChuChu walked forward holding a determined smile.

"Pika!" Pika jumped in the air cheering on.

"Hmm? You're using Pokémon that are begging to battle over type-advantage? Illogical." The old man said.

"The reason I came here is because of ChuChu!" Yellow responded. "ChuChu! Use… um…

"Thunderbolt! Use Thunderbolt!" Red shouted.

"Pika!" Pika shouted.

"Thunderbolt ChuChu!" Yellow shouted.

"Chu!" ChuChu leaped off the ground sparking with electricity. "CHU!"

The electric mouse launched a powerful thunderbolt directly to the Alakazam, standing there remaining calm.

"Chu!?" ChuChu gasped.

"Pika!?" Pika gasped.

Alakazam vanished instantly, the thunderbolt missed striking the ground.

"He didn't even give a order? Telepathy maybe? Is psychic powers even allowed in gym battles?" Yellow thought.

"Chu!?" ChuChu gasped as she was enveloped by a blue light, levitated in the air as she wiggled her paws. It was Psychic. The Pikachu kept looking and looking wondering where Alakazam was. ChuChu's eye widened as she felt a tap on her back.

"Alakazam." Alakazam spoke.

"Chu!?" ChuChu looked up seeing Alakazam floating above her, his blue glowing eyes staring right at her.

"Alakazam!" Alakazam shifted his spoon down, launching the Pikachu to the ground.

"Pika!" Pika looked worried.

"ChuChu!" Yellow shouted.

ChuChu slammed to the ground, dust enveloping the stage!

"Oh man." Red was astonished by the Gym Leader stand-in's strength. "Sabrina's students are really strong."

"Alakazam." Alakazam crossed his arms in the air, unimpressed of his opponent.

"Hmm…" Yellow clicked something around her wrist.

"Your not going to forfeit?" The Old Man smiled. His smile dropped, replaced by curiosity. "Hmm?"

"Kazam? Kazam!?" Alakazam's eyes widened as intense electrical energy grew larger and larger through the dust.

"What!? What is this!?" The Old Man looked at the young girl.

She was performing a stance, a strange dance in the middle of the battle holding her hands to mimick Pikachu's ear. She sighed feeling a little embarrassed over this.

"Hee hee." Red couldn't help but chuckle.

As the dust settled, the Old Man could see ChuChu performing the exact same dance as Yellow. "Alakazam! Focus Blast!"

"Kazam!" Kazam used his hands to create a brown ball of energy while upside down.

"Go!" Yellow ordered.

"Chu!" ChuChu jumped past the attack to the air grinning, full of immense energy!

"What is that?" The Old Man eyed Yellow's wrist, there was a ring around there… and a yellow crystal too!

"Pika…" ChuChu eyes locked onto Alakazam's eyes, the electric mouse could see a tiny glimpse of nervousness.

Z!

Catastro!… Pika!.!.!

ChuChu rolled up into an giant electrical ball.

"Chu! Chu! CHUUU!" Pikachu tackled the Alakazam as a massive THUUUUNDER! raged mid-air throughout the entire arena!

"KAZAM!?" Alakazam felt a searing shock of electricity coursing through his body.

"Chuu!" Pikachu landed on her feet with a smile as the massive thunder died down.

The Old Man could see Alakazam falling to the floor unconcious. He raised his Pokeball.

"Return!" The Old Man quickly returned his Pokemon.

"Hmm?" Yellow noticed Alakazam's hand shrank.

"Pika!" Pika happily ran up to ChuChu.

"Chuu!" ChuChu rubbed her nose against Pika's, kissing him on the cheek.

"Pika!" Pika smiled embarrassingly as ChuChu ran to her trainer.

"Chuuu! Chuuu!" Pikachu happily ran and jumped into Yellow arms.

Yellow smiled at ChuChu. "Well you're a happy little mouse aren't you?"

"Chuu!" ChuChu nodded.

"Well done young lady." The Old Man walked forward. "What was that exactly?"

"Oh this?" Yellow revealed a black ring around her wrist containing a yellow diamond-shaped crystal. The old man gazed at the crystal containing a symbol depicting Pikachu's tail. "This is a Z-Ring I got in Alola along with Red."

"You have one too?" The Old Man looked at Red.

"Yup!" Red smiled, showing him his Z-ring.

The Old man looked at it. It looked similar to Yellow's but the entire crystal looked like the tail of a Pikachu containing an lightning symbol within. "Hmm… anyways…"

The Old Man pulled out a Marsh Badge from his pcoket, one resembling a golden circle. "Here you go! The Marsh Badge. You earned it."

"I'm sorry…" Yellow looked nervous. "Um… I think I… may have cheated a bit."

"Chu?" ChuChu looked at her.

He eyed her. "What do you mean?"

"I have psychic powers… and I may have used them in the battle." Yellow twiddled her thumbs. She sighed. "I can read Pokemon's minds, heal them with my hands… and… I can also boost a Pokemon's level to higher levels. I boosted ChuChu's levels because the last time we fought she lost and got her hopes down a bit, I didn't want it to happen again… I'm sorry."

"Stop. That's alright." The Old Man smiled. "To be frank. I've been using my psychic powers as well to command Alakazam."

"But I boosted ChuChu's level. That's way different from…"

"It's okay. There's no rule against using psychic powers. If you really feel that way, just don't use them next time. The Marsh Badge, you earned it."

"Um… really?" Yellow looked surprised.

"Chu?" ChuChu smiled.

ChuChu quickly hugged Yellow again! Yellow smiled and hugged her tightly as Red and Pika smiled at the two.

"So how about our battle?" Red looked at the old man.

"Pika!" Pika's electric pouches glowed.

"Ah… I'm sorry but I just got a message in the middle of the battle so I have to go now. Maybe next time?" The Old Man slowly turned away, walking to a backdoor.

"Hmm… he didn't had a watch last time I check…" Red thought.

"Okay than. Let's go meet the others!" Yellow smiled at Red.

Red didn't respond. He just looked at Yellow's face for a moment.

"Uh… is something the matter?" Yellow spoke, wondering what Red was looking at.

"Huh… it's nothing." Red smiled back. "It's just that… you got a really great smile."

Yellow's face turned red. "Uh… thank… you?"

"Is something wrong with your face?" Red looked nervous.

"What!? No! No! Nothing! Nothing at all!" Yellow turned around.

"Chu!" ChuChu giggled, flashing her eyes romantically.

"Pika!" Pika made kissy faces.

"Why are you looking at me like that!" Yellow yelled at the two.

"Pika! Chu! Pika! Chu!" Pika and ChuChu turned around, giggling more together.

"Did… Did I do something wrong…" Red thought, clueless what the two Pikachu's were doing.

Meanwhile the Old Man stepped forward, away from the giggling and shouting, into the backroom.

"Hehe…" The Old Man grinned at Sabrina and her students, their hands and legs tied together.

Sabrina glared at the man angrily. "Your not going to get away with this."

"Oh… but I already have..." The Old Man's eyes flashed red repeatedly.


Red and Yellow walked out of the gym, the sunny skies shining brightly upon them. Yellow glanced nervously at the ground as something was clearly on Red's mind.

"Hey…" Red spoke.

"What!? I mean, yes?" Yellow looked startled.

"Wasn't there something odd about that gym?"

"What... what do you mean? Like he allowed psychic powers?"

"No. Not that. There are rules set in place for gyms. I shouted out advice there without thinking. The penalty for a companion shouting out advice to the challenger is being kicked out of the gym."

"Maybe he's new to the job."

"True that's a possibility but… he's a Gym Leader stand-in right?"

"Yeah?"

"Well… shouldn't even Gym Leader stand-in's be updated on the latest information on battles? Such as Z-moves? He seemed to have no idea what they were." Red explained.

"Well again… maybe he's new? I heard some time ago the Gym Leaders were caught off-guard by Z-moves from challengers in faraway lands, asking the Pokemon Association on the status of the legality of Z-moves." Yellow spoke.

"From who?"

"Brock, Misty and Lance actually. Apparently they were challenged by Kukui. The professor from Alola. He used Z-moves."

"I guess that makes sense." Red said. "Anyways. Where is Blaine and Mewtwo anyway?"

"Them? I believe they said they went somewhere else to study something quickly." Yellow replied. "Also Blaine doesn't want Mewtwo's... unique... body attracting unwanted attention."

"Hey guys!" A familiar voice called out to them.

Red and Yellow looked ahead, smiling and waving "Hello!" to them. "Hey guys!"

"Hi you two!" Blue smiled.

"How you've been Red! And you too Yellow!" Green smiled.

"Hello Blue and Green." Yellow smiled.

"Hey Green! Blue! You ready to battle sometime!" Red grinned.

"Right now!" Yellow responded. "We just battled at the Saffron Gym!"

"Saffron Gym?" Silver walked forward.

"Silver? What are you doing here?" Yellow spoke.

"Hi Yellow. Hey Red. I came here through the Magnetic Train Station over there from Johto." Silver pointed to a large train station just nearby.

Red and Yellow could see the magnetic rails reaching to the far west, Johto.

"I'm came here because Blue was… apparently bored… literally. That was her reason for me being here."

"And you came anyway." Red smiled. "Blue must mean a lot to you hehe."

"Yeah… something like that." Silver glanced away.

"Hey guys!" Two more familiar voices called to them.

"Hey. It's Bill and your sister Daisy, Green." Red looked at the two running together.

"I'm glad your all together! This makes... things much... easier to find you..." Bill stopped to catch his breath.

"Hi Green! How's my little brother doing!" Daisy smiled.

"Hmm…" Green stared at Bill.

"Uh… Is... something... wrong?" Bill felt an uneasy atmosphere forming.

"How's my sister been?" Green spoke. "She's fine right?"

"Yeah. Yeah!" Bill shook. "She's been great at assisting my Pokemon Research! Yup! Nothing else! Just two friends!"

"Okay than. Also you should stop shaking so much Bill." Green said.

"Hahaha. Yeah! I do that sometimes!" Bill rubbed the back of his head.

"So. When do we get to Silph Co?"

"Right now actually! The building is just right there!" Daisy pointed to the tallest building of Saffron City. Silph Co.


Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Silver, Bill and Daisy all entered the building. The first floor was massive. They saw fountains in the center, waiting chairs on the sides, a reception desk at the end near the elevators and glossed white tiles forming the floor and walls. There weren't a lot of employees on this floor though.

"Hello! Hello! Welcome!" A tall man walked forward.

Red noticed the black-haired man in his brown business suit and black tie wearing that charismatic smile with that beard of his. He must be the one in charge of Silph Co.

"Welcome heroes of Saffron City! I see you brought friends as well. My name is August. I am the head of this company!"

"Nice to meet you!" Red reached out his hand.

August smiled widely, shaking Red's hand.

"I'm so happy that you all came!" August spoke. "I must confess! I've heard of other lands where heroes similar to you have been welcomed with celebrations and parties. Also as a huge fanboy of Pokemon, I just had to start a celebration! My father absolutely said it was a necessity that the world hear what you did for Kanto after how people couldn't recognize you and treated you poorly in the Sevii isles!"

"A celebration huh?" Green spoke.

"You mean like a party?" Red smiled.

"Yes. Now come! I have much to show you what the company is doing!" August spread his arms wide.


The trainers entered a room full of mass-produced discs awaiting there on the conveyor belts. Green looked at them, recognizing what those were.

"Those are Up-grade discs for Porygon right?" Green spoke.

"Yes. I can see the Viridian Gym Leader is very knowledgeable." August smiled.

"I know because I have a Porygon 2 on my team. Got a disc from my grandpa."

"Ah! I see! Then this may interest you but years ago we discovered Porygon 2 has a second evolution!"

"Really?" Red smiled.

"Ah yes!" A short man walked forward in a lab coat. He was as tall as a tree stump. "Porygon Z is the name of the evolution. It evolves through a disc not yet in production as of now!"

"Not yet in production? Why?" Green asked.

"Well… we have found some… dubious… problems to it that had made Porygon Z act very odd, very glitchy you could say. Oh! I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Argus. I am August's father." Argus spoke.

"Really? I… um…" Blue looked at the two. One was as short as a stump and the other was as tall as a tree. "I can see the resemblance."

"I think I can see it too." Daisy smiled.

"Your... your joking right?" Silver spoke.

"So why did you planned on creating a new disc for Porygon 2?" Green continued.

August smiled. "For one thing to improve security measures of course!"

"Security measures?" Green said, holding back a Pokeball from behind near one of the computers. Porygon 2 could see the computer closeby through the Pokeball's red glass.

"Yes. Ever since Team Rocket attacked. We ramp up security measures by sending Porygon 2's throughout the computer system. It's a very tough security system to crack... or fight more specifically."

"I see." Green clipped his Pokeball to the back of his belt. "I assume Porygon Z is also used to improve security?"

"Yes!" Daisy smiled. "But there's also another reason!"

Bill smiled "Let us show you!"


The group followed Bill past several windows displaying all sorts of testing facilities. Red noticed new Poke Balls being tested, Yellow noticed several water tanks full of Lapras's being studied and taken care for, Silver noticed a mass production of Poke Gears being readied to be shipped to Johto and Blue spotted something that caught her eye.

"Oh look! Dittos!" Blue smiled at a room full of Ditto's playing around in a soft cushy room.

"Ditto?" Blue's Ditto looked through the red glass of the Pokeball.

"Yes. Ditto." August smiled. "There's an interesting legend about Ditto."

"Really? " Blue looked at him with curiousity.

"They say Ditto is a failed byproduct of attempting to clone Mew."

"Uh… failed?" Blue said.

"Ditto?" Ditto within Blue's Pokeball didn't like where this was going.

"Yes." August smiled. "There were experiments on Cinnabar Island in attempt to clone Mew into something called... Mewtwo."

Red, Green, Blue and Yellow's eyes opened wide for a quick second. Bill gulped a bit while Silver and Daisy just stood there clueless.

"However many of the test subjects experimented on were failures and they later became Ditto that roam the Pokemon Mansion. I heard however they've been transported to the wild somewhere after the Pokemon Mansion was refurbished." August continued. "However. I don't see them as a failure."

"You don't?" Blue said.

"No. Their just so adorable and cute and can transform to any Pokemon! Their amazing creatures!" August smiled excitedly.

"Hehehe…" Blue looked nervous. She thought "Didn't expect such a tall man to use adorable and cute in a sentence so openly."

"Ditto!" Ditto smiled in the Pokeball.

"Anyways!" Bill spoke. "Let's get to what were going to show you!"


"Whoa!" The trainers stepped into a massive room.

There was a large machine in the middle and around them were armored ant-like Pokemon carrying pieces and parts.

"What are those?" Red said.

"Those are Durants." August explained. "Their under the command of my father as of now. Their used to help out the construction of this machine."

"What is it?" Silver looked at it.

"It's a device used to create a gateway to Pokemon's dreams!" Bill smiled.

"Pokemon's dreams?"

"Yes! A researcher from Unova had discovered a gateway to what we call the Dream World where trainers can enter their Pokemon's dreams and see what they are dreaming about!" Bill explained. "Silph Co. has been interested in such a device, feeling it's a step forward to uniting Pokemon and people so they invited me and Daisy, two professional Pokemon researchers, to help!"

"That's awesome! Does it work!" Red smiled at the idea.

"Actually yes! However that's not the only thing it does." Daisy explained. "It has another application."

"Another application? Is that why the Durant are still moving around parts?" Green looked at the Durants scattering all over the room, from the floor to the walls to the ceilings.

"Yup! Pretty much! In theory… this machine here should also be able to create a portal to other dimensions!"

Red, Green, Blue and Yellow looked puzzled.

"You mean like the wormholes from Alola?" Yellow said.

"Yes!" Bill answered. "And without that information you found in Alola. Me and Daisy would've never accomplished Silph Co's latest project! It was thanks to you people that I was able to find a way to recreate wormholes right here!"

"Okay… but what's the other reason for Porygon Z?" Green said.

"According to our studies." August stepped forward. "Porygon Z has the ability to travel to alien dimensions!"

"What?!" Red, Green, Blue and Yellow all looked shocked. "Really? Why would you need a machine then if you can just use Porygon Z?"

"Well… as mentioned before… Porygon Z aren't exactly reliable." Bill explained. "Some strange error in the disc used for Porygon Z has caused them to act erratically. Even then, they don't seem to know how to activate these wormholes on their own. It just happens randomly. However when it does, they serve as a great way to travel on through these wormholes."

"Yes." August smiled. "It's thanks to Bill, the famous PC admin, and Daisy, the granddaughter of Prof. Oak, here and his team in the Sevii Isles too! Without them setting up the communication center that would eventually lead to the prestigious Wi-Fi centers across Sinnoh, Unova and beyond plus their extensive research on Pokemon. I would've never gotten any of this done without a world more connected than ever."

"Excuse me sir." A woman appeared from behind.

"Huh?" Red looked at the woman. She wore a purple business top and skirt but her palr face and her raven-colored hair looked familiar, too familiar. "Uh… Yellow."

"Yes?" Yellow responded.

"That woman behind August. She kind of looks like you…"

"Hmm?" Yellow looked at the woman. She looked exactly like her, she even wore her hair like a ponytail. However she looked bored with cold eyes, carrying pieces of technology in her hand. "Maybe a little bit."

"It's weird. She's like your technological opposite." Blue watched.

"Technological opposite?" Yellow thought.

"Hmm? Yes?" August turned around.

"It's that time again." The woman spoke.

"Ah. It appears I have to go. The tour is over but there is a party later so feel free to come back when night hits." August smiled.

Red saw the two walking to the exit as he spoke to Bill. "Hey Bill? Who is that girl?"

"Her? That's August's secretary. Her name is Violet. She's kind of an introvert and doesn't like socializing with others. Prefers to be around the computer all day, working nonstop."

"That doesn't sound like me at all." Yellow said.

"Sound like you?" Bill took a quick glimpse at the secretary.

"Oh. Is it because she kind of looks like you, only with black hair." Daisy smiled.

"Huh…" Bill looked at her again before she left. "I do see the resemblance."

"Hmm…" Yellow stood there, watching her. "I bet she's a nice person underneath."

"She is… but she's socially awkward at times… and has… anger issues." Bill sighed. "So guys? How about we go eat lunch right now!"


Red and his friends stepped out of the Silph Co. building. Bill, carrying his laptop, looked up and noticed the clouds have gotten dark.

"Looks like it could rain any second." Bill said.

"I checked the weather on my Poke Gear." Silver said. "It's supposed to be sunny all around this week."

"You and your laptop should be fine sweety." Daisy smiled at Bill.

"Sweety?" Green looked at Bill.

"Ah... um... that's just something she says to a lot of close people!" Bill looked nervous.

"I never heard her call that to me." Green said.

"I only say that to you Bill!" Daisy looked confused.

"Um... uh... huh?" Bill saw a bunch of people running.

"What's this?" Red noticed several people running to different directions in a huge hurry.

"Have you tried the other gate!" One man yelled.

"Yes! It's the same there too!" One woman yelled.

"I'm still checking anyway!" Another man yelled.

"Um… excuse me!" Blue raised her hand to a man in a business suit.

"Huh?" The first man stopped. "Yes?"

"What's going on? What's with all the people running everywhere?" Blue asked.

"Y… you haven't heard? It's better to show you! C'mon!"

"I guess will follow him." Silver spoke.

As the group of trainers ran, Bill's laptop flashed red.


Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Silver, Bill and Daisy stopped at the gate that lead to Lavender Town. They noticed the gate covered in dense fog to the point that the gate didn't seem to be there at all. They heard people screaming and yelling at each other as a driver stepped into his truck.

"What's he doing?" The escort watched.

"No you idiot!" One man yelled. "Your going to crash into someone!"

"I gotta try! I'm late for shipments!" The man yelled, pressing into gear.

"Everyone run!" He yelled as the truck went full speed.

"What are they talking about?" Green said.

"Don't just stand there! Move!" A man called out to the trainers.

"Huh?" Red's eyes widened. "Move! NOW!"

The six quickly scattered as the truck returned from the fog in full speed!

"Oh shiiii-" The truck driver quickly pressed the brakes.

The truck took a screeching halt as the same man from before grabbed him by the shirt.

"You idiot! You could've hurt someone!"

"I'm sorry! I... I didn't know!"

"Wh… what happened?" Yellow's eyes widened.

The man that escorted them explained. "All the gates are cut off from the rest of Kanto. I can't explain it but every time someone tries to leave through that fog, they come right back here!"

"What? That's stupid." Red got up.

"Wait Red!" Blue yelled but Red didn't listened.

He ran for it.

"I'm telling you. It's the truth." The escort shouted.

Red ran into the dense fog as others watched. He ran blindly, the fog being too dense to see anything. He just kept running and running until he saw a glimpse of light!

"I don't know what he's…" Red slowed down. He paused, spotting the streetlights of Saffron City, his friends looking at him surprised and shocked. "… talking… about?"

Green looked a little nervous. "What's going on?"

Blue's eyes widened. "It's like that time Rocket controlled Saffron."

"Were cut off from the entire region." Silver gritted his teeth.

"Wait! What about the train station? Maybe that's a way out." Blue said.

"You don't think people have tried that?" The escort said. "Look, I'm outta here. I'm going to find my family quickly. You guys. Be careful. Something bad looks like will happen."

"Something… bad…" Bill could still remember the cracked pearl. "Hmm?"

Bill noticed his laptop flashing red.

"What are you doing Bill?" Red ran to them, seeing Bill opening his laptop

"My laptop. It's sensing powerful disturbances." Bill looked at the screen as a red light flashed his face.

"A disturbance of what?"

"Any who travel through the wormholes are bathed in a strange type of energy. Sometimes they've been found to even power Pokemon up, increasing their size. The Alolan people called them Totem Pokemon but that's not always the case." Bill looked through the programs.

"Wormholes? Is it happening in Silph Co.? Is the machine on?" Daisy asked.

"No. It's happening at that abandoned Colosseum over there! Let's go!" Bill said.

The group ran quickly as Red paused behind for a moment, seeing the massive abandoned building from a great distance. "The Colosseum?"


The group ran to the abandoned colosseum. In the middle of the colosseum, it looked like a massive battle stage used for Pokemon battles but it's pretty clear it hasn't been used in a long time. Right in the middle, Yellow recognized a familiar Pokemon.

"Hoopa?" Hoopa smiled at Yellow. "Hoopa! Hoopa!"

"Hoopa!?" Yellow and Red shouted.

"Hoopa." Hoopa smiled.

"I thought I... I left him at the shelter." Yellow gulped.

Elsewhere... the dragon descends...
