Chapter 10
(That Night)
No.412: I got the scroll of awakening and I battled Alcovich. He is really powerful. He beat me.
Silver: Good, very good. Did you rendezvous with Leo?
No.412: Yes, Project X is a go.
Silver: Wonderful. Everything is going according to plan. Begin Phase 2.
No.412: Yes sir.
(No.412 exits)
Silver: No.412 is a fool. He doesn’t think I know about his little rebellious plot. (to cell phone) GR, prepare my ship. It’s time to recruit Operative X from Kanto. (To himself)
No.412 won’t know what hit him.
GR: Yes sir. Do you really think Operative X will cooperate? Operative X isn’t known for cooperation.
Silver: I have a Dark Chain to use if necessary.
Hearthome City
(Hearthome City started as a place where people and Pokémon gathered and grew into a center of commerce, and is consistently voted as the most desirable place to live in all of Sinnoh. Hearthome City is a child-friendly city; there are many families and young mothers living there, some of whom can be seen with prams. Most of the buildings use elevators instead of stairs so that small children and Pokémon can move through the houses. The citizens scrupulously keep their city clean. The population is 81,000.)
Leo: It’s the perfect morning for a Gym Battle. I hear Fantina’s really strong!
Aaron: I bet she’s not as strong as me.
Leo: Aaron, I’m stronger than you.
Aaron: How can you say that when we haven’t even battled?
Leo: Let’s have a warm up battle. Crystal, referee please.
Crystal: This is a three on three battle. Switching is not allowed. Let the battle between
Aaron and Leo begin.
Aaron: Go Ivysaur.
Leo: I knew you would start off with a Grass type. You’re so predictable. Go Vulpix. Use Ember.
Aaron: I am not predictable. Ivysaur, use Sleep Powder.
(Ember hits Ivysaur and Vulpix falls asleep.)(Vulpix Chesto Berry woke it)
Leo: Like I said, predictable.
Aaron: That’s it. Ivysaur, use Vine Whip.
Leo: Vulpix, use Ember again.
Aaron: Dodge it and use Vine Whip to throw Vulpix against that wall.
(Ivysaur dodges and throws Vulpix against the wall.)(Vulpix faints)
Crystal: Vulpix is unable to battle, Ivysaur wins.
Leo: Go Riolu. Use Force Palm.
Aaron: Ivysaur, use Vine Whip.
(Ivysaur faints before attacking Riolu)
Crystal: Ivysaur is unable to battle. Riolu wins.
Aaron: Go Gastly! Use Shadow Ball.
Leo: Riolu, use Foresight.
(Shadow Ball hits.)
Aaron: Use Shadow Ball again.
Leo: Riolu, use Force Palm.
(both attacks hit)
Aaron: I thought Fighting had no affect on Ghost types.
Leo: Hmph. Shows how much you know. Foresight allows Fighting and Normal moves to hit Ghost types.
Aaron: Oh. Gastly, use Sucker Punch.
Leo: Riolu, use Force Palm again.
(Shadow Ball knocks Riolu out)(Gastly evolves into Haunter)
Aaron: Yes!
Leo: Go Bagon. Use Dragonbreath.
(Haunter faints)
Aaron: What! Go Kadabra, use Physic.
Leo: Bagon, use Dragonbreath
(both attacks hit)
(Bagon evolves into Shelgon)
Aaron: Kadabra, Use Physic while Leo is distracted.
(Physic hits and Shelgon faints)
Crystal: Shelgon is unable to battle. Aaron is the victor.
Aaron: Good battle Leo.
Leo: You got lucky. All that matters is that Bagon evolved into Shelgon.
Alcovich: That was some battle. Now it’s time to face Fantina.
(while our trainers head to the gym, Silver has arrived in Kanto)
Silver: Ah Kanto Region, home to Operative X. (to GR) Where is Operative X’s last known whereabouts?
GR: Operative X was last sighted in the nearby cave.
Silver: Excellent. Operative X will be in my control by sunset.
(outside the cave)
GR: Should I activate M-mode on the radar?
Silver: Yes, if it detects us, it shall attack. We must not be caught off guard.
GR: Sir, M-mode is showing Operative X is nearing our location now.
Silver: Excellent, prepare the Dark Chain.
(Operative X appears)
Silver: Mewtwo, it’s been a long time.
Mewtwo (using Telekinesis): Silver, give me one good reason why I shouldn’t kill you right now?
Silver: (throws the Dark Chain at Mewtwo)
(Mewtwo uses Physic to stop the Dark Chain in front of him)
Mewtwo: Did you really think you could capture me with that chain?
Silver: (smiles) Why of course.
Mewtwo: What?
Silver: GR, activate the Dark Chain.
GR: Activating.
(Dark Chain expands and attaches itself to Mewtwo)
Dark Mewtwo: Silver, what must I do to serve you?
