Chapter 9
In an old building in Eterna Forest, Sinnoh, was the current headquarters of Cipher Rocket. A livid Giovanni was shouting at his minions in a lavishly, furnished room.
“You blundering idiots!” shouted the criminal mastermind.
“We’re sorry!” answered Amy, one of his teams’ grunts. “And any way, why don’t we catch pokémon legally anyway?”
“SILENCE!” Giovanni roared. His plans had been thwarted three times in succession by young trainers, he still remembered them, Ash and the twerps, Jimmy and his foolish gang, Brendan Birch was also among the many young teens opposing him.
He snapped back into reality. He pressed an intercom connected to his secretary’s office and said, “Will you send someone in to take this, lovely, woman into the Hypnotic Chamber for a ‘rest’? I’ll deal with her later.”
“Absolutely Sir, right away.” Came the reply from his secretary.
“Oh and, I need to meet you in the board room in five minutes to discuss something, Tracey.”
“Affirmative.” Came the obedient reply.
The blonde secretary of Cipher Rocket, after hearing her boss’s request, pressed send on her computer screen, took a deep breath, and backed away from her desk as two burly men in Cipher Rocket uniform dragged a woman and a man, kicking and screaming into an elevator.
Meanwhile, in a field, just outside of Ecruteak City, May, dressed in her usual outfit, topped off with her favourite bandana sat, eating a packed lunch. Her pokémon were all out, eating as well when all of a sudden, from behind a tree, dashed a yellow, podgy, duck like pokémon and it stole May’s sandwich and grinned at her while it scoffed the food, this caused may to jump back, and she was caught by her loyal Blaziken. As her starter pokémon lowered her to the ground, May whipped out her pokedex and pointed it at the wild pokémon.
The machine bleeped into speech. “Psyduck, the duck pokémon. It never remembers using its extraordinary powers, and its constantly puzzled.”
“Doesn’t look very puzzled to me!” May exclaimed looking at the yellow pokémon taunting May with the sandwich. She thought back as the species of pokémon look familiar…
In the burnt tower, in Ecruteak City, Cipher Grunts were struggling to calm a raging dog-like pokémon. It was blowing scorching hot flames at the grunts, which were screaming in fear. Another pokémon was shooting sparks of blue lighting, trying to fry the intruders of their sacred tower. Another darted out of the building, through the forest and away from its home. As it ran through the street, many people were astonished to see the rare legendary pokémon running, crying for help. It bounded over young children, taking care not to knock them over, it leapt over a bush, and skidded to a halt on a Sandy beach. It paced the coastline wondering how it was going to get to its destination: Mahogany Town.
“Eevee! Shadow Ball!” commanded May. Her young fox pokémon obeyed with a cry. A dark purple orb of energy raced towards the Psyduck. Seconds before it hit, Psyduck grew blue and the attack stopped in its tracks. The Shadow Ball was burst and the Psyduck rushed towards its target with arms outstretched. “Eevee! Quick, dodge it and use Iron Tail!”
The Eevee jumped and the Psyduck skidded across a mud puddle. While it was regaining its balance, Eevee with its now metallic tail, combined with gravity dealt a heavy blow on the Psyduck. The Psyduck buckled under the pressure and it fell flat on its face. It gave a weak groan while May retrieved an empty pokéball from her fanny pack. She pressed the white button to enlarge it and she threw it at the fallen Psyduck, however, the Psyduck hobbled to its feet and hit the pokéball back to May with its tail, the startled May was hit in the face with the pokéball and the Psyduck laughed. May clenched her teeth and thought, “Tougher than I thought…” For some reason, she thought of Drew when she thought that. She then focused her mind on catching the Psyduck and the battle continued.
“You got mail!” blinked on the computer at the Elite Four HQ. A red haired dragon tamer pulled his wheelie office chair to the table and read the email while he sipped a mug of coffee.

SUBJECT: Code red Alert!
This is Undercover agent Karen,
The situation is worse than we thought. Giovanni is now set on harnessing the power of the three legendary dogs to summon Celebi. His reason for wanting Celebi is still unconfirmed. Just beware, he has caught Entei, the fire dog. Raikou and Suicune are still wild.
We need to up our game before this is a national crisis. Just beware, and alert all officials about this.
Yours Sincerely,
Karen Black

The recipients of the email were fast at work, forwarding and reply to the message, all except for an elderly man in Pallet Town’s lab. “Daisy!” he called for her granddaughter. “Yes Grampies?” she said as she walked hurriedly into her grandfather’s cluttered research room, stepping over piles of books as she made towards the desk in the centre of the room. “Will you give me a hand writing this email? Everything these days is CC here and CC there, what’s wrong with the phone?” Daisy giggled as she sat down to aid Professor Oak.
The yellow duck came crashing to the ground in a heap. May threw the empty capsule at it for the second time. It hit the duck pokémon and it vanished into it. The ball bounced a couple of times; it then wobbled once, twice, thrice. The pokémon was caught! May jumped up and down for joy at the new addition to her team. That was one stubborn Psyduck, who would have thought?
“Noo! Please, I beg you! Don’t brainwash me again! I don’t want to hurt the poor darlings!” Amy wept and begged while her boyfriend, Wred was trying to break them out of the room they were in. “Its no use.” sneered their criminal boss. “I need dimwits like you two to brainwash into my evil doings. Electabuzz, thunder punch!” The yellow and black pokémon charged up its arm and slugged a blow at Wred. He cried out in pain. The pink haired Amy wept uncontrollably. “Hypno! Hypnosis! Then use Psychic!” Amy and Wred ceased their wailing and a deathly silence chilled the dark room. “Are you ready to serve?” Giovanni asked them.
“We will do as you please.” Was the reply from the two brainwashed grunts. Their eyes glowed red.
“Excellent.” Said Giovanni as he burst into maniacal laughter.
While May was rejoicing, and Giovanni was brainwashing his grunts, her grandfather, Pryce, in a log cabin in Mahogany Town heard loud knocks and whimpering at his door. He wheeled over in his wheelchair and opened the door and there stood a young, green haired coordinator Drew, with a young water puppy, wrapped in a bright blue blanket in his arms.
“Quick Sir! It needs help right away!”
They brought the crying Suicune puppy into the house and Drew laid it on the floor of the living room.
“I’ll go get some Potions.” Said Pryce to Drew. Drew replied by nodding. As he looked around, a picture of a little brunette girl caught his eye. When the elderly man returned, Drew inquired about the picture.
“That’s my granddaughter May. You’re good friends with her right?”
As they nursed and dressed the infant Suicune’s wounds, Pryce told Drew about May’s childhood.
“She was always a bright girl, full of energy. I remember this one time when we went out on an outing to the Fushcia Safari Park when she was about five. She toddled around gasping at every pokémon she saw. She was such great friends with a Torchic at the Petting Zone that she fed it her ice-cream!” The old man chuckled. “Care to tell an old man like me the story of your past?” At the sudden question, tears welled in Drew’s eyes, “I can’t remember anything, I was brought up at the Space Center in Mossdeep.” A lump grew in Drew’s throat. “By foster parents.”
“Well young Drew, I think I might be able to help.”
