Pokémon Red (Book 2)

Dimensional Duel (II)

Cyrus' POV

I've done it. All my life I've had only one goal, I've worked so hard to reach this point in time. And finally, today is when I get my reward. After so many years, so many defeats, so many deaths and I stood right there, in front of my final work. The vessel was revolving around the particle accelerator.

"Sir, sound speed achieved." Said Andy, the lead physicist working alongside me. "Should I project the hydrogen particle now?"

"Take your time, precision is important." I said. I stood right in front of the door which led to the inside of the accelerator.

"Hydrogen particle ready for collision." Said Andy. "And...projected."

The anti-matter vessel collided with the hydrogen particle, opening a portal. No one knew where the portal was going to lead me, except me.

I was time. I placed my hand on the glass door, it recognised my hand print and the door slid open. All I had to do was jump into the portal.

"Here we go." I said. I jumped.

Leaf's POV

Cyrus was gone. Suddenly, my Pokegear rang again. The last time is rang was when we were in the forest, eavesdropping the Team Rocket Grunts.

I answered the call. "Red, you have a very bad timing. I'll call you okay? Later."

I hung up the call. "Your friend will get us killed someday." Whispered Barry.

"You're already dead." Said a man. Lucas turned around and saw a Team Galactic Grunt blocking our exit. "Everyone, we have intruders."

The Team Galactic grunts standing in the basement turned around and looked at us. I should've been scared but I wasn't. Team Galactic didn't feel scary at all. I mean, what are they gonna do? Make us wear bunny costumes?

Three grunts held our arms and pulled us. We couldn't do anything. They outnumbered us, obviously. The grunts walked us to a section of the basement where there were prison like cells. Though they weren't regular cells.

The room was dark and was too narrow to be a room, one end was the entrance and the other was one prison cell. It was just like a science fiction movie set. Near the cell, was a computer screen.

One of the grunts dragged Barry to the cell. The grunt kept Barry's Pokeballs on a hovering plate like disc. Barry was pushed into the cells, and the grunt tapped the computer screen. The glass door of the cell closed and the entire cell moved to the right and another empty cell stood in it's place.

Same thing happened with Lucas. His Pokeballs were kept on the hovering disc and he was pushed inside the cells, the grunt tapped the screen. The cell moved to the right and revealed another.

This time I was pushed inside. The cell was made of some kind of plastic but seemed unbreakable. The door was glass, that also was hard to break.

The cell was in some kind of open place. I couldn't see properly from the inside. I could just see a metal wall in front of me from the glass door. Wherever I was, the place was big enough to contain three or more prison cells.

"We're stuck here. And this glass, doesn't even break." Said Lucas, probably hitting the glass as I could hear a loud thud.
