Kip sat for some time, trying to gather up his courage to go after Gaby. In
truth, he was terrified of what might happen to him if he was caught. He
didn't want to think about it.
There were also a few problems he had to take care of, the first and most crucial being he had to find out where Gaby was in the first place.
Then he had to get there. He had no map, and didn't want to waste time trying to find a good one. Gaby was in trouble now, and he had to get to where she was in the fastest way possible.
Then there was the problem of food, for him and his Pokémon. He couldn't just walk into a restaurant, there was no time. He didn't have enough money for food, either.
The last problem was the fact that Kip wasn't a strong trainer, and, though he had undying faith in his Pokémon, their physical capabilities made them mortal. He guessed there were at least 50 Rockets in hide out, plus about 20 from Aqua and Magma. With no Pokémon Centers between, how in the world was he supposed to take down 90 trainers?
Kip stared out into the trees, tears stinging his eyes. It was all his fault. All his-
Kip suddenly jumped up. Something had moved in the forest. Or had it just been his imagination?
The leaves rustled again. No, it wasn't his imagination. But what was it?
That question was answered almost immediately. Of course! Gaby didn't have her Pokémon when she was captured! That meant they were still here!
"Help!" Kip cried. "Help! I need your help!"
Suddenly, a blood-covered Skarmory tumbled out of the trees. It staggered around, finally stopping. It looked with one eye at Kip, then nodded. Kip ran to his bag, took out a Super Potion, and used it on the Skarmory. Then he took a cloth and cleared away the blood. The wounds had healed.
The Skarmory suddenly whistled. It pierced the air like a gunshot. Kip covered his ears. After a few seconds, the Skarmory stopped. All was silent. Then, more movment from behind the trees. 4 Pokémon and one Pokéball came out from behind the trees and joined the Skarmory.
Kip stared in wonder at all the Pokémon. Man, he thought, Gaby IS really good!!!
In front of him(other then the Skarmory) was a Dragonite, a blue Charizard, a Meganium, and a Pidgeot. In the Charizard's hand was a bright blue Pokéball. The Charizard extended its hand towards Kip. Kip opened his hands. The Charizard dropped it into them.
The ball was bright blue everywhere, save for a red spot in the top. Inside the dot, there was a single letter: L.
Kip looked at it, then at the Charizard. What was he supposed to do?
"Do it throw it?" Kip asked uncertainly. The Charizard nodded. "Alright! If you say so!"
The ball went whizzing through the air. A flash of blue-white light, and the ball was back in Kip's hand. But what he saw almost made him drop it again. Standing high above him, was a Lugia.
Kip looked up at it, amazed. No one had EVER caught a Lugia before, dead or alive. To find himself face-to-face with one was overwhelming. Still, Kip stood his ground, and said,
"I...I need your help."
The Lugia nodded, and pointed his head in the direction of the Pidgeot. Kip turned his head to look, and saw that the Pidgeot was hovering off the ground, its wings flapping. Then all the other Pokémon, except for the Meganium, started to take off too. The Meganium simply touched its Pokéball and disappeared inside. Kip picked it up and put it in his bag.
While he was over by the Pokéball, he noticed that there was another bag, blue in colour, resting in front of a tree. He picked it up, realizing it was Gaby's. It contained tons of berries, a map, and many other things. Most importantly, it contained the other Pokémon's Pokéballs.
Kip turned around, and saw the Lugia again. He walked back into the middle of the clearing, and turned around again. As soon as he had, a whoosh of air went flowing past him, and he was in the air, unsupported, and falling. Then he was on smooth, soft white feathers. He opened his eyes, and found that he was riding on the Lugia's back. They were in a procession: The Pidgeot, then the Skarmory, then the Charizard, and finally the Lugia. The Pidgeot seemed to know where it was going, and, by the looks of it, the others were following. Kip realized that they were going to the hide out. And, with his and Gaby's forces combined, he would be able to set her free.
The only thing was, would they get there in time?
Where...Where am I?
Gaby woke up on a cold, hard floor. All around her, a glare affected everything. Suddenly Gaby realized she was in a cage. She jumped up, and reached for her backpack, but it was gone.
My Pokémon! Gaby thought. Where...I must have dropped it when I was fighting!
Fighting... The memories came flooding back. The executive... The battle... The blood... And... Kip. It all came back to Kip. That kid... It was all his fault that she was here.
Where was here, anyway? Ignoring the glare, Gaby looked around the room. Everything was white: The walls, floors, tables, and the ceiling. People with clipboards walked around the room, making notes on clipboards or talking to each other. On one of the clipboards, Gaby could read:

The scientist with the sign walked over to Gaby's cage and Placed it up
on a hook on the outside. After she had finished placing the sign, she
glanced over at Gaby. She took a step back in surprise, then called over
the rest of the scientists milling around the lab. All of them rushed
around, talking. It was so noisy that Gaby couldn't make out a word. But
from the body language, they were really excited about something, and
Gaby had a good idea what.
Suddenly, a tall man stepped forward out of the sea of scientists. He
looked at Gaby as though he knew her, but Gaby didn't recognize him at
all.
"So here she is, after 5 years of searching, the infamous 001," The man
said. "We've been waiting for you to come back, Gaby. Tell me, how did
you escape us for so long?"
"Well mister, I've got a few questions for you!" Gaby said. "Who the hell
are you?"
"I am Dr. Sakio. I am your creator."
Gaby looked at him in awe.
