Legendary Shadow

Heist

The next day Liam woke up and was ready to travel back to Viridian City, just when he was doing his daily meditation Shadow popped up from his shadow causing Liam to jump out of his meditation. Liam was happy to see his best buddy was ok and had come out of the Shadow Realm. Liam told him about the plan that he had thought of and Shadow quickly agreed. 

Shadow joins in the meditation too, he had leveled up quite a bit after that whole heist and his teacher had taught him a few new moves while he was in the Shadow Realm recuperating. Liam got ready and went to go pick up the other Pokemon from the Pokemon center and then headed out. 

When they emerged in Saffron City Liam noticed that there was a lot of Team Rocket members around which shocked him because he didn't get any notification from John saying that they had made the move, so he was guessing this had happened overnight and that Giovanni moved his plans up because he couldn't be patient anymore. 

Liam decided that this time he was going to be a hero and go stop Giovanni so he went to the Silph Co. building where there was a whole bunch of Team Rocket members around and they were questioning him and telling him to get out but as soon as they tried to kick him out Shadow came out from Liam's shadow and hypnotized all of them before they knew what happened. 

All they knew was everything went dark and they started to feel extreme pain and had terrifying nightmares. Shadow had used Dream Eater on them making him feel a little stronger for the battle that was about to commence. Liam made his way up to the stairs and decided that he was going to use this as a training opportunity for the rest of his Pokemon since there were so many Team Rocket members around. 

Liam took all the Pokeballs of the sleeping Team Rocket members and went up the stairs to the next level, but the reason why he didn't battle them all one at a time is that it was a huge crowd and he didn't want to put that much strain on all of his Pokemons so early. When he got to the second floor there were a few trainers there. 

They quickly took out their Pokemons and that's when they started a battle. Liam wanted Charmeleon and Pupitar to evolve so he had them battle with these Pokemon trainers and they quickly defeated them and moved on to the next floor where the same thing happened over and over again. 

When Liam had got into the fifth floor he had met an executive that was there by chance checking on things this executive noticed Liam and asked and if he was a new member but Liam shook his head and then pointed at one of the Team Rocket members that had fainted on the ground after the battle. 

Liam was knocking them out after they had lost so when the executive saw this she quickly took out a Pokeball and brought out a Weezing. This Weezing was a level 40 and quite strong so Liam had Charmeleon face off with this Weezing. Weezing then used SmokeScreen to make Charmeleon vision worse, but then Charmeleon used a fire spin to absorb all the smoke into the fire and dissipate it. 

Weezing came out of nowhere and used takedown on Charmeleon knocking Charmeleon down into the wall, Charmeleon shot a Flamethrower as soon as he got back up, Weezing also used smog to try to block off the fire but due to the poisonous gas, it made that attack explode in Weezing's face causing it to faint. 

Shadow appeared behind the executive and knocked her out. Liam took her Pokeballs and stored them and left. They went on to the next floor when they noticed there was another executive that was coming down because he heard all the commotion. When he saw Liam he recognized him from all the reports that were being passed around and he quickly summoned hey Machamp and tried to use Karate Chop on Charmeleon but Charmeleon dodged the attack and used Tail Whip to lower his defense. 

Machamp grabbed Charmeleons tail and slammed him into the staircase, this move caused Charmeleon a lot of pain and almost made him pass out but he had held on strong and used a Slash attack on Machamp's face. They continued to battle it out until Machamp knocked out Charmeleon causing him to faint. Liam then brought out Dragonite because that Machamp was pretty strong and he didn't want to take the chance of getting hurt on this stairway. 

Dragonite came out and used Dragon Breath on Machamp which Machamp blocked it with his arms but then it caused Machamp to become paralyzed so Dragonite picked Machamp up and used a Fly attack on him slamming him into the ceilings, the walls, and the stairway. Machamp couldn't do anything in this battle and just when he was about to power up with bulk up he noticed that his trainer had passed out. 

Machamp wasn't getting any more commands which just confused him until he saw Shadows glowing red eyes which pissed him off and he charged towards Shadow but Dragonite used a Hyper Beam on his back causing him to faint and return back to his Pokeball. Lian then collected his pokeballs and moved on to the next floor.
