After freeing themselves from the storage closet, Summer and her allies Weldon, Lt. Surge, and Koga, made their way to the rooftop to confront Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket. To their surprise, Team Rocket had Articuno, Zapdos, and Samir captured and tortured. To save her friend, Summer traded Moltres for Samir, allowing Giovanni to summon the Legendary Birds' leader. What will happen and will Summer and her allies stop the former Kanto Champion?
Chapter 42: The Power of the Past
Koga, Lt. Surge, Blaine, Weldon, Samir, and I watched in astonishment as the white bird Pokémon landed in front of us. It released a deep cry, similar to the sound of waves crashing onto a rocky shore. I was forced to return Rocky to conserve space on the rooftop, which was starting to look smaller.
[Lugia, the Diving Pokémon. Lugia is so powerful even a light fluttering of its wings can blow apart houses. As a result, it chooses to live out of sight deep under the sea.]
Yeah right…blowing apart houses…that has to be an exaggeration…
Giovanni calmly approached the Legendary Pokémon while Mewtwo stayed behind, ready to attack if needed. Lugia saw its friends in trouble and cautiously eyed him.
"Lugia, Guardian of the Sea!" Giovanni exclaimed. "Join my team of powerful Pokémon! If you help me defeat someone, I will let your friends free!"
The Pokémon was torn between the two options, and it showed on its worried face. Samir gritted his teeth, slowly stood up, and walked towards Lugia. It noticed the boy approaching, with particular attention to his yellow watch.
"Don't listen to a word he says, Lugia," Giovanni falsely cautioned. "He's just a kid."
Lugia ignored the Viridian City Gym Leader and turned its head to the child chosen by its trio.
"L-Lugia…" Samir muttered. "Pl-please don't listen to him… H-he's lying…"
The Guardian of the Sea cried once more and shuffled towards Samir. Giovanni, slowly growing furious, nodded to Mewtwo. The Genetic Pokémon lifted his right hand and used Psychic on the Legendary Pokémon.
"Watch out, Lugia!" Samir shouted, jumped up and pushing it aside. The intern was caught in the attack and was pushed over the railing.
"No, Samir!" Blaine cried, shocked at Mewtwo's lack of emotion.
Koga immediately threw a Pokéball, and Yatate flew out, trying to save Samir. Unfortunately, the Crobat was hit by another Psychic attack and collapsed onto the rooftop. Suddenly, the sound of a Pokéball opening came from Koga's sack, and Terry hurriedly flew out, trying to catch his Trainer. Instead of a Pidgeotto, his wings were large and his head had beautiful red and yellow feathers.
[Pidgeot, the Bird Pokémon and the final evolution of Pidgey. This Pokémon has gorgeous, glossy feathers. Many trainers are so captivated by the beautiful feathers on its head that they choose Pidgeot as their Pokémon.]
Terry caught Samir in the nick of time and carried him back to our location. Lugia soared into the sky, now angry at Giovanni, and started to charge a white beam from its mouth.
Blaine noted, "It's Aeroblast! Lugia's signature move!"
Giovanni gritted his teeth and yelled, "Mewtwo, use Mega Kick!"
The Psychic type used its powers to fly over Lugia and landed a powerful kick to Lugia's chest. The Pokémon crashed onto the roof, releasing a powerful shockwave. I immediately covered my eyes, and when the shaking stopped, I saw Lugia struggling to stand.
"If you will not join me, I will force you to!" the boss of Team Rocket growled. "Mewtwo, use your powers to control Lugia!"
His Pokémon nodded and lifted both of his arms. The two Psychic types then began a battle of will as each of them used their powers to gain control of the other. However, Lugia's weakened state allowed Mewtwo to slowly conquer it. Mewtwo and Giovanni slowly smiled, confident they would win.
We need to do something! But what can we do against a Pokémon that is unstoppable?
Suddenly, Mewtwo noticed something and teleported away, narrowing avoiding a combination of Thunderbolt and Flamethrower. We all looked up and saw a teenager on top of an orange lizard with wide wings and a flaming tail. He was about 5'6" and wore a red vest, white shirt, and blue jeans. His red cap had a white Pokéball design, and on his shoulder was a determined looking Pikachu. He motioned his Pokémon to land, and when he did, the Trainer and his Pikachu disembarked. It was a little hard to see, but when he adjusted his cap with his black-sleeved gloves, I was able to make out a gold pin with the Pokémon League Association symbol.
"N-no way…" Weldon stuttered. Lt. Surge, Koga, and Blaine were equally surprised.
"Is it who I think it is?" Samir asked.
The boss of Team Rocket chuckled. "So, you're finally here, Red. I've been waiting for this day to reclaim my title."
I expected the Kanto Champion to respond, but he just stared at Giovanni.
He's pretty quiet for a Champion. Not as flashy as the Hoenn Champion…
Giovanni laughed. "Still not in the mood to talk? How disappointing. You were so vocal before you started your Elite Four challenge. Did something happen that made you mute?"
Red clenched his fists but continued his silence.
"Very well." Giovanni pointed his left index finger at the teen. "Red of Pallet Town! I challenge you for the title of Kanto Champion! Your team against mine."
Mewtwo cracked its knuckles and grinned. Red shook his head, but took out an Ultra Ball.
"Oh, before I forget…" Giovanni threw six Pokéballs, revealing a Dugtrio, a Rhydon, a Nidoking, a Nidoqueen, a heavy cracked boulder Pokémon with two arms and legs, and a large cat with four thick whiskers, black-tipped ears, and a charm on his head. "Everyone," he commanded. "Take care of these nuisances while I fight the Champion."
His six Pokémon nodded and slowly advanced towards us. I immediately took out a Pokéball, as did my five allies.
"Let's divide and conquer!" Lt. Surge cried, sending out Sarge. "Sarge, attack Persian with Thunderbolt!"
The Raichu nodded and released a powerful electric shock. As Persian dodged the attack, the Trainer and Pokémon ran towards the south side of the floor, to avoid any double-teaming
"I agree," Koga added, throwing his Pokéball and dashing to the southwest corner. "Amigasa, Toxic on Golem!"
Weldon sent out a large four-legged light blue dinosaur with a large magenta flower on his back.
Ivysaur must've evolved! It looks like he can't walk as fast, but I can see he's much powerful than before.
"Venusaur," my rival commanded. "Razor Leaf on Nidoqueen!"
As the other four Pokémon were occupied, Nidoking and Dugtrio eerily approached me and Samir on the north side.
"Ready, Samir?" I asked.
He nodded. "Of course! I'm feeling better so don't worry about me! Banksia, help me out!"
"Blaze, let's do this!"
The two starter Pokémon landed on the floor and curiously looked at each other. Instead of a Bayleef, it was a taller lighter green Pokémon with a two long yellow antennae, and a long neck surrounded by light pink petals. I was tempted to look her up, but I focused on the battle.
"Aren't you going to scan her, Summer?" Samir asked, curious about my behavior.
I smiled. "I will after the battle's over. You can go first, Samir."
He was slightly taken aback, but he nodded. "Banksia, Reflect!"
She stomped on the ground and created a light pink wall that surrounded her and Blaze. Nidoking then charged at Banksia with his glowing horn while Dugtrio glanced at Blaze and dug underground.
While the Dig caught me off guard, since there was nowhere to dig under, I commanded, "Blaze, jump and use Flamethrower on Nidoking!"
He nodded and launched himself into the air, narrowly dodging the Mole Pokémon. Blaze then unleashed a stream of fire at the Drill Pokémon, who instinctively blocked the attack. Nidoking growled at Blaze while Dugtrio and Banksia were sizing each other.
"Samir," I observed. "Maybe we should divide and conquer."
He understood my intentions. "Okay, the Reflect won't last long, so use it wisely."
I nodded and focused my attention on Nidoking, who was cracking his knuckles.
Blaze scanned his opponent and assessed, "Judging by his competitive nature, I'm guessing this is Giovanni's strongest Pokémon."
I made a fighting stance. "Then let's give him a challenge. I'm ready when you are, Blaze."
He then mimicked my pose and grinned. "Let's beat him."
Nidoking grunted, then ran towards Blaze, his right fist slowly emitted electricity.
I formed a fist and shouted, "Blaze, use Fire Punch!"
Flames surrounded the starter Pokémon's right fist, and he waited for the Poison type to approach closer. I waited with him, and once Nidoking threw his fist forward, Blaze and I did the same. The fists collided, creating a cloud of smoke that covered our side of the rooftop. Nidoking snickered and used it as a cover.
Knowing what I wanted to do, the Blaziken became attentive to any sound or movement. Suddenly a large ball of sludge hurled towards him. Blaze dodged, but Nidoking used the momentum for a close range Thunder Punch, Horn Attack, and Iron Tail combination. Although the Reflect reduced the damage of the first attack, it couldn't help against the latter two. Blaze slid back and started to pant, but he refused to give in. The flames around his wrists became stronger, the sign of Blaze recognizing Nidoking as a strong foe. When the smoke dissipated, Nidoking smirked, impressed by his adversary's stamina. Then the barrier disappeared, removing our defensive advantage. Nidoking roared and charged at Blaze, his horn glowing white.
I stretched my legs and shouted, "Blaze, use Double Kick!"
Blaze nodded and once Nidoking got closer, he and I kicked in unison. Blaze struck Nidoking in the stomach. Then when he buckled, the Fire type lifted up his right leg slammed it onto the Poison type's back. Although it wasn't super effective, Nidoking definitely felt its power and growled. Blaze slightly retreated, allowing the Drill Pokémon the chance to stand. The Pokémon did just that and angrily roared. He then launched himself into the air, his tail glowing silver.
"If he wants to end this, we'll use our strongest attack! Blaze, jump and use Blaze Kick!" I shouted, kicking my right leg forward.
Blaze grinned, bent down and used all of his strength to jump over Nidoking; the Poison type shocked at Blaze's jumping ability. The Blaze Pokémon then thrust his fiery leg forward, making contact with the Drill Pokémon's face. Nidoking crashed onto the ground, which created another shockwave. This allowed everyone else, who defeated Giovanni's other Pokémon, to watch Blaze stand triumphantly over Giovanni's strongest Pokémon.
Giovanni was slightly unnerved as his Gym Pokémon were defeated, but I could tell Red was in trouble. He was panting hard while he returned his Fire-type Pokémon. My friends and I returned our Pokémon that battled earlier and ran to help the Champion. But he held up his hand, not wanting us to interfere.
Instead, he pointed to the capsules containing the Legendary Birds. Lugia was still in the air, trying to break them open, but they resisted every one of its attacks. We nodded and made our way to the machine. Giovanni made no move to stop us, as if he didn't need the Legendary Birds anymore.
Blaine ran to the controls and tried to unlock the capsules. "It's no good! I can't override the controls." He then turned to Samir. "Samir, you need to help Lugia free the Legendary Birds."
The intern became hesitant. "But what can I do? I'm not really a Trainer…"
Blaine cleaned his glasses and said in a serious voice, "Samir. You were chosen by the Legendary Birds to be their protector. They know you're the only one who's strong enough to help them. I know you'll come up with something if you talk to Lugia."
Suddenly a bright light came from my pocket. I took out the feathers and saw they were glowing intermittently. Lugia saw them and cried, using his psychic powers to bring them towards him. Samir climbed onto Terry and flew towards the Legendary Pokémon.
When they were together, we heard a loud crash from the control panel. Red's Pikachu freed himself from the wires and growled at Mewtwo. Suddenly, the electricity went haywire and shot out in multiple directions. We all dodged the bolts, and to our surprise, one of them flew towards the feathers and charged it with rainbow energy. The rainbow beam then hit Terry, and he and his Trainer became surrounded in a rainbow cocoon. After a few seconds, it burst, revealing Samir on top of a Pidgeot with blue tipped feathers and longer red and yellow crest feathers. Terry gave a sharp cry, and a rainbow double helix briefly appeared.
"I-it can't be…" Blaine stuttered. "Is this the bird from the mural?"
Mewtwo was intrigued by this new Pokémon and abandoned Giovanni.
"W-wait!" the man called out. "We're not done with our battle!" But the Genetic Pokémon refused to obey.
Samir, Terry, and Lugia then battled Mewtwo together. I was surprised that not only Terry was flyer faster, he was also able to do moves a normal Pidgeot couldn't. The Bird Pokémon vigorously flapped his wings and created a huge tornado, almost like a hurricane, which trapped Mewtwo inside. Lugia then charged up an Aeroblast and shot it into the hurricane. Mewtwo took a lot of damage but was able to use his psychic powers to break free. It then propelled itself forward, right leg first. Samir then got onto Lugia and pointed at Mewtwo. Terry flew a somersault, cloaked itself in a blue light, and charged at Mewtwo. Both Pokémon collided, but it appeared Terry took some recoil damage. This allowed Mewtwo to grab Terry with its powers and throw it back. Terry straightened himself and refused to back down.
The Genetic Pokémon then shot several Psychic blasts, trying to end the battle. Samir then pointed again and Terry did several u-turns, dodging the attacks and hitting Mewtwo several times. The attacks appeared to be super effective, forcing Mewtwo to descend. Terry then dove at it in the blue light while Lugia assisted him by powering up the attack with Aeroblast.
The combination attack overpowered Mewtwo, and it smashed onto the rooftop. The impact rattled the glass, causing the capsules to shatter and the Legendary Birds to fly away from their prisons. As we braced the force, a thin black box fell out of Giovanni's suit. Terry gave a triumphant cry and suddenly turned back to normal.
As Mewtwo tried to stand, Giovanni roared, "NO! Get up! I need you to destroy them!"
"That's enough, Giovanni…" a slightly deep voice commanded.
We all turned to the source, and to our surprise, it was Red.
"So you're not actually mute at all…" Giovanni growled.
Red shrugged. "Does that matter now? Besides, you should really end this obsession of defeating me."
"Why should I?! That title means everything to me!"
"Even at the expense of your coaches, Pokémon, and the world?!"
Giovanni suddenly became silent, unsure on how to answer.
Red took a deep breath. "Giovanni. You're a strong Trainer. I knew when we first battled six years ago. I found some of your old files and learned what you did. I was shocked, but I also learned how much you cared about Pokémon until that incident."
"That incident's none of your concern!" the defeated man barked. Although his red face covered most of them, several tears slid down his face.
Red shook his head. "Please, Giovanni. Come to terms with your loss."
Giovanni gritted his teeth and returned his Pokémon. He then took out another Pokéball. "Sorry, Red and Weldon." He sent out a Fearow and grabbed onto his talons. Before anyone could stop him, the Pokémon took off and they disappeared into the night.
"R-Red…" Blaine stuttered. "Why didn't you stop him?!"
The Champion adjusted his cap. "He doesn't want revenge anymore. I felt it when he said that sentence."
Koga nodded. "I felt that as well. But how come you spoke just now? Even during our meetings, you were silent."
Red softly smiled. "Because I had to. Also, I only talk to people whom I can trust based on their battling skills. Someone close caused me to become mute, and I hope to make it up to him soon. But, don't tell anyone else about this, okay? I do have a reputation to uphold."
"You got it, Red," Lt. Surge grinned.
Mewtwo got up and looked around. It felt it had no more purpose here and was about to take off. I noticed it was still wincing in pain, and I knew what to do.
"Hey, Mewtwo!" I called. Mewtwo became intrigued by my attention and slowly floated towards me.
Everyone else was on guard, but Blaine reassured, "It's not going to attack."
The Genetic Pokémon looked at me curiously and telepathically asked in a deep voice, What is it, human?
"You should get healed first before you leave."
It slightly tilted its head. Heal? I am the perfect battling Pokémon. Healing is not part of my DNA.
It then stumbled, so Blaze and I immediately caught him. The Psychic type was surprised by our altruism.
Very well. I will accept your healing items.
I sent out Lightning and asked, "Can you get the Hyper Potion in my backpack?"
She nodded, climbed onto my back and rummaged inside. I glanced up and saw Red's Pikachu intently looking at her, as if he was trying to recognize Lightning. After she found it, she handed me a pink and white spray bottle.
"Thanks, Lightning." We then gently laid Mewtwo on the floor and I sprayed the medicine onto its wounds.
It then stood up and floated in the air. Thank you, hu-Summer. You deserve my thanks. I shall travel the world and battle strong Trainers. Do not worry, I will not follow the goals of my creator. I look forward to battling you in the future.It then zoomed away, a soft smile crept over its face.
Red then noticed the box Giovanni left behind and opened it. Inside was a pile of green leaf pins. He sighed and muttered, "We need to find a new Gym Leader again. Luckily, I have a candidate, if he wants it."
He then took out two of the pins and handed each one to Weldon and me. "You two are participating in the Indigo League, right? Because of this incident, the Earth Badge will not be required for this year's the tournament. But technically, you two defeated the Gym Leader. You deserve them."
"But don't they need to be authenticated by a Gym Leader?" I asked.
He chuckled. "So you know about that. Don't worry, I'll authenticate them when I return to the Indigo League."
"Sounds good. Thanks, Red." I put mine away while Weldon stared at it. I wondered why he questioned Giovanni like that when we met him, but I knew it was something very personal.
The Champion then looked at the three Gym Leaders. He touched the brim of his cap and said, "I know about your past with Giovanni and why you became Gym Leaders. Usually, this means automatic dismissal." He then let go and put his hands into his jeans pockets. "But I also heard from Bruno about your efforts to stop him. The League of course will call you in for a hearing, but you shouldn't worry about it too much. I saw firsthand how you fulfilled the purpose of a Gym Leader. Unless, you no longer want to be one, that's fine too."
The three looked at each other and laughed.
"Normally we would, but this year, there was a lot of potential talent," Lt. Surge smirked. "I always look forward to new challengers!"
Koga closed his eyes and smiled. "I agree. After all, the most recent student I trained was able to surpass my expectations in a Gym battle. I want another chance to experience that rush of excitement."
Blaine played with his mustache. "I may be old, but this experience made me feel 30 years younger! I have to come up with more riddles to appeal to the 'hip' generation for my Gym battles."
Red nodded and happily said, "I understand. Thank you for continuing to represent the Kanto Region."
Terry and Lugia quietly landed on the roof, and Samir disembarked. Red then clammed up, not wanting Samir to know his secret.
"Thanks for your help, Lugia," the boy said.
Lugia nodded, then motioned its companions to come. Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres landed next to Samir and bowed in thanks. All four of them touched Samir's watch with their beaks in order, from Articuno to Lugia. Afterwards, they flew around us, split up into their cardinal directions, and disappeared, most likely to return to their resting spots.
Samir ran up to us and bowed, "On behalf of the Legendary Birds and Lugia, thank you for helping us."
Blaine laughed. "You don't have to be so formal, Samir!"
The boy sheepishly grinned. "Well, I do have a new responsibility and all. Lugia said I can now summon him or his friends if I need their help. And…he told me about you, Blaine. How you were the previous Guardian. Articuno and Zapdos said they didn't want you to interact with them to prevent Giovanni from taking further advantage of you. They're sorry how they treated you."
The old man humbly smiled. "I see. Thank you, Samir, for all of this. I look forward to seeing what you do as a Guardian. If you need any advice, or a riddle or two, you know where to find me."
We all laughed except for Red, who just smirked. The sun then started to rise, revealing a new day and millions of Pokédollars in damages.
"How are we going to pay for all of this?" Lt. Surge scratched his head as the floor started to crack. Red smiled and pulled out a slip of paper.
Koga took it and chuckled. "Quite prepared, Red. The League and Champion will help pay for the damages."
Red nodded, then looked at me, Weldon, and Samir closely. He sent out his Fire-type, who was completely healed and took off. Before they left, I made sure to get the Pokémon's entry.
[Charizard, the Flame Pokémon and the final evolution of Charmander. A Charizard flies about in search of strong opponents. It breathes intense flames that can melt any material. However, it will never torch a weaker foe.]
After we waved goodbye, Koga said, "We should go downstairs and check on the others."
We nodded and slowly made our way down to the first floor. When we arrived outside, all the Team Rocket Grunts were being arrested by the police. Erika, Brock, Misty, Flower and Errol came towards us.
"Thank goodness you're all safe!" Erika exclaimed.
Koga nodded. "Thank you for your concern, Erika. How is Sabrina?"
"She's fine, Koga," Misty said. "Red had some emergency medical staff waiting outside, so they helped her once we got out. Then we battled some of the Grunts and destroyed them thanks to Flower and Errol!"
Brock handed me back their Pokéballs. "Thanks again, Summer. We healed them up for you."
"Oh, thanks, Brock!" I put them back onto my belt. We then saw people gathering around.
"Aren't these the citizens of Saffron City?" Blaine asked.
An elderly man came forward. He was wearing a dark blue suit with a gold pin. He shouted in a hearty voice, "Thank you for saving our city. As president of the Silph Company, I speak on behalf of all of us. Now, I will take that lovely check, and I can now rebuild my beloved headquarters." He then snatched the slip of paper out of Koga's hand and dashed off to the bank.
"What I would like to know is how the city was empty all this time…" Brock wondered.
Erika then received a piece of paper from a Pidgey. She read it and surmised, "The League says the citizens were paid to leave Saffron City for the past three months. I wonder if this was Giovanni's doing."
Maybe Giovanni's not as heartless as he seems… I wonder what's going on in his head…
"Anyway. I believe this is a cause for celebration!" Erika cheered, clasping her hands together.
Koga smiled. "Go celebrate first. I will check on Sabrina."
"Okay!" Misty shouted. "We'll see you at the Pokémon Center!"
He nodded, gave the sack of Pokéballs to Erika, then walked towards the emergency personnel. We walked to the Pokémon Center, healed our Pokémon, and celebrated in the cafeteria. Koga and Sabrina then joined us later, and she looked much better. Although we would've partied longer, we all had to sleep because we stayed up so late.
"Look at them, partying…" Archer growled, watching the Gym Leaders and three kids in the Pokémon Center. The last six Team Rocket Grunts stood on top of the south gate building.
Ariana comfortingly placed her right hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, Archer. Not all of us were caught."
Proton nodded. "Yeah! We'll build Team Rocket up again and fulfill the Boss's goal."
Petrel snickered. "But we should lay low for now. Can't let the coppers know about us."
Archer smiled. "Right." He then turned to his comrades. "Ariana, Proton, Petrel. Disperse throughout the Kanto Region and train as hard as you can. Boulder, Raven. Go to the Johto Region and do more research on their Legendary Pokémon. Maybe we can use them to our benefit. "
The two Grunts saluted. "You got it, Archer!" Boulder shouted. Raven was a little sad, but she nodded strongly.
Archer continued, "Meanwhile, I'll try to find Giovanni and persuade him to help us when we rebuild our gang. He will be so proud of us."
The six Grunts smiled evilly, knowing that despite Giovanni's disappearance, Team Rocket will not succumb to their leader's fate.
After a seven-hour nap, I woke up and saw the sun was starting to set. I stretched a bit, walked into the lobby, and saw Weldon standing outside the Pokémon Center. I walked towards him and saw he was expecting me.
He said with his arms crossed, "You're not half bad, Summer. Maybe you will be a challenge for me."
I was slightly surprised by his compliment. "Thanks…I guess…" I paused, then took a deep breath. "I've been meaning to ask. But you don't have to say anything if you don't want to-"
"-I know what you want to talk about. It's what I demanded Giovanni, right?" He sighed then continued, "You see, I wanted to know about-"
"-Sorry, am I interrupting something?" We looked to our right and saw Samir waving at us from the open door.
"No, it's okay, Samir," Weldon replied. "What is it?"
"Well, Brock and I have to go back to Pewter City, so I wanted to say goodbye."
"Oh, okay." I smiled and we shook hands. "It was great seeing you again, Samir!"
He grinned, "You too, Summer! I'm going to try to get time off to see you guys battle in the tournament."
I happily exclaimed, "Cool! Can't wait to see you then!"
Weldon shook his hand and said, "See you, Samir."
He nodded and joined Brock inside, who was trying to flirt with the nurse. The intern pulled his teacher aside, who was saddened to leave a potential date. Weldon wanted to continue his story but went inside himself, leaving me alone.
"So this is where you are," Sabrina said, teleporting to my left. "Sorry I interrupted your alone time."
"No, it's okay, Sabrina. What's up?"
She played with her long hair. "I'm almost ready to accept Gym challenges. I heard you and Weldon have received the Earth Badge, so you only just need my badge left in order to participate in the Indigo League."
"Are you sure, Sabrina? What about your health?"
She smiled. "You truly have a caring nature. I'm fine, I just need one day to recover. But I have to battle using two Pokémon, not my usual four, and once a day to quicken my recovery."
I thought about the sudden rules. "Okay. When's the earliest date?"
Sabrina closed her eyes, then opened them after a few seconds. "Three days, around 10am. Weldon chose the earlier day for his battle."
"I see. I'll take it."
Sabrina smiled. "Very well. I look forward to our battle." She then teleported away.
I put my hands behind my back and watched the orange clouds. What should I do in the meantime besides training? I guess I'll see what happens tomorrow…
