The Adamant and Lustrous Orbs

Outside of Celestic Town a police aeroplane was delivering the adamant orb to Celestic Town. But then the plane got attacked by a swarm of Golbat and a Toxicroak appeared from a helicopter that flew above the plane. The Toxicroak was Saturn's; Team Galactic was attacking the plane to steal the adamant orb.

Meanwhile Dawn and Brock were packing up in the pokemon center to get ready to leave Celestic Town. "Okay everything is all set" said Brock, who just finished packing up his back pack. "Then I'll go get Ash and Tomo" said Dawn. Ash and Tomo had been outside with their pokemon. Yesterday's pokemon contest, especially Dawn's battle against Lila, gave Ash an idea of what to do when they go against Fantina. Pikachu was spinning while giving off electricity, making an electric wall around himself. "This is great" said Tomo. "With this the Hearthome Gym badge will be ours Tomo" said Ash. Just then Dawn turned up telling the boys it was time to go. "Can you wait a little bit longer Dawn?" asked Ash "I've had an idea of how my pokemon can counter attack Fantina's moves. Remember when Ambipom created a shield of stars with her swift attack in the pokemon contest? Well that was able to hit Delcatty even when it used substitute. So I thought maybe doing something like that would be able to fight Fantina's pokemon back after they use a move". "Oh I see that's a great idea" said Dawn, remembering the shield of stars too. Brock liked that idea too. "I must say though Ash," said Brock "you have used defensive moves in battles in the past". "I know I have Brock," said Ash "but the way Fantina's ghost pokemon moves are trickier than the ones we've seen in the past. Not to mention Fantina's Drifblim defeated all of my pokemon without even breaking a sweat". "Good point" agreed Brock. So the gang weren't going to leave Celestic Town just yet.

When the gang got back to the pokemon center, they saw the news on the TV. The news was about the theft on the police's plane, and the TV reporter just spoke about Team Galactic. "Team Galactic are up to no good again?" said Ash. The news went on talking about the Adamant being stolen just as it was making its way to Celestic Town for research at the Historical research center. It also talked about Team Galactic successfully stealing two meteorites from Veilstone City. Then the news talked about the Lustrous Orb. "I have a bad feeling about this" said Ash. He felt Team Galactic will go after the Lustrous Orb next since he remembered the Lustrous Orb was said to be connected to Palkia. "This is serious," said Nurse Joy "and the champion of Sinnoh is returning to Celestic Town soon". Nurse Joy explained Cynthia lived in Celestic Town and her grandmother was the one in charge of the Historical research center. Ash turned to the others. "We better go the historical research center ourselves," he said "I have a feeling Team Galactic will go after the Lustrous Orb next, and Cynthia will need help". The others agreed with Ash.

What no one knew was Team Rocket had been listening to the news as well. "Team Galactic really do remind me of Team Magma and Aqua when they went after those red and blue orbs," said James "those Lustrous and Adamant orbs must be important to whatever Team Galactic are up to". "James bring out our police outfits, we are going undercover" said Jessie. The trio wanted to find out what was going on with Team Galactic.

Meanwhile the gang arrived at the Historical Research center. Police were everywhere because of what happened with Team Galactic. Cynthia was there too and she noticed the gang. "Well having seeing all of you again" said Cynthia. "Hi Cynthia it has been a while" said Ash. The others were happy to see Cynthia too. Cynthia introduced the gang to her grandmother Professor Carolina.

What no one knew was Team Galactic was spying on the Historical research center. Saturn spotted the gang through his binoculars. He warned other Galactic members about them and told them to be on ready for back up; he had a feeling the gang would get in his way like they did before.
