Plasma

Chapter 7: Fading to Black

Brian, Frankie, and Virizion left for Castelia City at once. They arrived in Pinwheel Forest for the second time. "Wow, since we were in such a rush last time, I never got to take in how beautiful this place really is," Brian said with a look of amazement on his face.

Soon, the group arrived at the terminal leading to Skyarrow Bridge. Frankie looked excited. "This is going to be so cool! I can't wait to see the view from the bridge," he said. They walked outside of the terminal and walked up some stairs. Underneath their feet, everyone felt the rumbling of traffic. They heard engines of motorcycles, cars and trucks, and could just barely hear a ship's horn from the water below Skyarrow Bridge. In the distance, the group could see the colossal skyscrapers in Castelia City, and, if they turned around, the towns and routes they traveled through for the past four days.

"Wow... This is so amazing! Look all the way over there, and I can see my apartment building! Turn around and then you see the city! Also if you look over there you can see Liberty Garden! Oh, oh, and over there you can just barely see Nimbasa City!" Brian kept on rambling on and on about his geographical knowledge of Unova, but then he, Frankie, and Virizion made their way off Skyarrow Bridge and into the terminal.

The group arrived in Castelia City with their jaws wide open. The buildings were huge, and the streets were busier than anything they have ever seen. "I think that's the pokémon center over there," said Frankie. The group walked into the pokémon center and healed everyone up. Frankie and Brian booked rooms and dropped off all of their stuff. Brian decided to look around the docks, Virizion stayed back with Keldeo to mentor him, and Frankie went to look for good restaurants. The team split up.

Brian was looking at all of the expensive looking yachts and speedboats, when he came across a strange blue, black, and white ship. On the side was a familiar symbol of a black and white shield, with a 'P' and an 'S' printed on it. It was Team Plasma's Boat! Brian decided to sneak in to find out more about Team Plasma.

Brian entered quietly, trying not to be spotted by any grunts. He stayed close to the walls, just in case someone was coming. It was quiet in the main hall. Where is everyone? Brian thought, confused. They have to be in here, the entrance was open! Brian searched the first floor. Nothing. He traveled up some stairs onto the second floor. He searched all of the rooms. There was no one there either. He traversed up the final flight of stairs to reach the third floor. He heard very faint talking in a room nearby.

After checking some rooms, Brian found where the voice was coming from. He stood in a large doorway that led to a gigantic presentation room full of Team Plasma members. On the stage, in front of a large projected Team Plasma logo, was a man wearing a strange looking vest and a red eyepiece. He was talking into a microphone and spoke, "Our organization was defeated once, but will rise again! No one will get in our way! With the help of our new genius scientist Colress, we have invented a way to achieve our goals! I present to you..." The man paused for a second. "The DNA Splicers! This can fuse the legendary Kyurem's DNA with either Zekrom or Reshiram, creating a massively strengthened legendary pokémon!"

Fuse the DNA of Pokémon!? The legendary trio!? How insane are these people!? That can't be true, Brian thought. Just then, someone yelled something. "Hey! Who's this kid!? He's probably a spy!" The man lunged towards Brian, but Brian just barely dodged the attack. He scurried down the hallway, and to the staircase. He was running down the second floor hallway to reach the next staircase, when all of a sudden, everything started shaking. Brian quickly looked out a window. The ship was moving, and that meant Brian was trapped.

Brian ran down the stairs to the first floor and ran into a room to hide, except there was a problem; the room was empty. Cornered, a grunt ran into the room, found Brian and handcuffed him. The grunt yanked Brian out of the room and chained him into another room that had a table and a chair. It was an interviewing room. As soon as Brian was chained to the table, a grunt walked into the room with a Serperior. The grunt said to Brian, "this will be a long ride, and we can't have you bursting our eardrums, so you'll be put to a sort of resting state," he said with a sick grin on his face. "Serperior! Use Giga Impact!" The Serperior's tail glowed a white color, and then slammed into the back of Brian's head. Brian's vision started to get hazy and his eyelids became heavy. All of a sudden, everything faded to black, and Brian couldn't feel anything.
