Meeting Team Galactic

And The Battle Arcade

That night, after defeating Maylene at the gym, Reggie was showing the gang something special about Veilstone City. There was a park at the far right of Veilstone City which held about a dozen meteorites. "Wow meteorites" said Ash, in surprise. "Oh you've seen meteorites before Ash?" asked Reggie. "I have, but not these ones of course" said Ash. He meant the meteorite he saw when they met Deoxys back in Kanto. "These meteorites are what put Veilstone City on the map" said Dawn. Reggie explained that the meteorites had been around since ancient times and had been guardians ever since. He also explained that it was the meteorites' growing fame that caused people from all over the world to see them and that's how Veilstone City was born. The gang was fascinated by that story. "I wouldn't be surprised if these meteorites came from outer space" said Ash. "I agree with that one" smiled Dawn. "These meteorites watch over Veilstone City as guardians" smiled Reggie. The gang were impressed by this.

After Reggie showed the gang the meteorites, the gang rested up at the pokemon center. The two brothers were looking at the Sinnoh badges they had earned so far. "Collecting the gym badges really is fun" said Tomo. "Wait till we get to the Sinnoh League" said Ash. Tomo had come to understand by now of how much his brother liked challenging the gyms and collecting their badges. "Don't forget you two, you still need to earn five more" Brock reminded them. "We know," said Ash "but we'll get them before you know it". Ash had been through this before. Thanks to Nurse Joy the brothers found out they could get their next gym badges at a place called Pastoria City. Dawn was happy for Ash and Tomo to have earned their badges, but she wasn't concentrating yet about contests. She also remembered that Ash only had two more contest ribbons to get. Piplup knew that Dawn hadn't been training for any contests and it made him worry.

Tonight there was trouble. Saturn from Team Galactic had arrived to Veilstone City. What no one knew was Team Galactic had a base in Veilstone City. Saturn was also carrying the cube he stole from the Solaceon Ruins. He walked into the office of the base and spoke to all of the Team Galactic members who worked there. "Attention please," he said "our next target are the meteorites surrounding Veilstone City. If the cube is successful then that event will give us the necessary key that unlocks the mystery of our operations next stage. Then after the plan is completed we will destroy this base and evacuate it. It's vitally important that we leave no sign of our presence here". All the Galactic members understood and got ready for work.

At the park Team Rocket was staring at the meteorites. "Wow look at all these meteorites" said Meowth. "One of these will surely be a liking to the boss" said Jessie. "But how would we just carry one and manage to get away with it?" said James, pointing out the obvious. It was clear that trying to steal just one meteorite would be a bit too difficult for the trio to do.

Before Team Rocket could figure out what to do, the meteorites started to glow and they shot out beams of light into the sky. "What the hell?!" gasped James. Team Rocket weren't the only ones who noticed it; Reggie, Nurse Joy, Maylene and her Lucario and the gang and all the other people of Veilstone City noticed the strange sight too. Soon it stopped. "Can somebody please tell me what happened?" said Meowth.

What had happened was because of Saturn. He took out the cube from the suitcase he was holding and the cube reacted to the meteorites. Then it reformed itself like a puzzle and turned into some weird key. "The spear key;" smiled Saturn "those meteorites and the spear key are made from the same material". The meteorites stopped glowing after the spear key was placed back into the suitcase. Saturn ordered the grunts from the building to start jamming the signal; he had a plan to distract the people of Veilstone City so he could work on another plan of his.
