[ One Day Before the Team Rocket Attack ]

The lawn before the grand mansion began to shiver with unseen energy. Reality itself seemed to warp and bend as a portal shimmered into existence, rippling with psychic power. Green, Yellow, and now a freshly dressed Austin stepped out from the swirling vortex. Austin, clad in new attire courtesy of Yellow, cut a stark figure. His long hair was tamed somewhat, framing his face to reveal one piercing red eye that surveyed the scene with a mixture of caution and curiosity. The Pokémon earring in his ear—a nod to his connection with these creatures—glinted in the light, a gift from Green. He wore a simple yet striking outfit: a black jacket that draped comfortably over a crisp white shirt, both tailored to accommodate his muscular frame without sacrificing style.

As the trio's attention turned to Dr. Akihabara's mansion, they witnessed a transformation that was nothing short of science fiction made reality. Bill and Akihabara had not simply built a structure; they had crafted Austin's vision seamlessly merged with the traditional elegance of the mansion. The original building now served as the foundation for a towering edifice of glass and steel that soared towards the sky. Panels of solar glass shimmered like scales of a giant metallic fish, collecting sunlight and reflecting a kaleidoscope of colors onto the manicured lawns.

The mansion's classic façade had been preserved, acting as the historical base to the futuristic spire that extended above. Its windows had been replaced with smart glass, capable of digital interfacing and opacity changes with a simple command. The roof had been converted into a landing pad for drones and other aerial transports, adorned with a garden that boasted genetically modified plants glowing with bioluminescent hues.

Connecting the old with the new, a series of tubular walkways encased in transparent aluminum—a material once thought to be purely hypothetical—wove in and out of the mansion, allowing residents to move between the historical sections and the new tower with ease. The tower itself was a marvel of modern engineering and architectural genius, with sections rotating slowly to provide a 360-degree view of the surrounding area, and others static, housing state-of-the-art laboratories and living quarters.

Beneath this, an advanced geothermal system could be seen through glass sections of the ground, showcasing a labyrinth of machinery providing sustainable energy to the entire complex. At ground level, the gardens were now interspersed with holographic displays and robotic assistants tending to the flora, which consisted of both Earth plants and peculiar alien-like species, no doubt a result of the scientific endeavors that took place within those walls.

Bill and Dr. Akihabara sat on the porch of the transformed mansion, each with a bottle of beer cradled in their hands. They looked out at the fruits of their labor, the evening light reflecting off the metallic and glass surfaces of their futuristic creation.

"Ash, next time you want us to build something, make it a little less complicated," Bill said with a wry smile, the corners of his eyes crinkling as he took a swig of his beer.

Austin chuckled at the sight, a deep sound that resonated in the cool air. "Hmm, surprising," he commented with a playful note in his voice.

"What?" Bill turned, eyebrow raised in amusement.

"You aren't in your furry suit," Austin quipped.

Laughter erupted between Bill and Austin, their mirth a sign of shared inside jokes and memories. Meanwhile, the others in the group could only shake their heads. Pikachu, snug in Yellow's bag, peeked out with a bemused spark in his eyes, as if he'd heard it all before and found the jesting tiresomely predictable.
