Leaving Pinwheel forest and crossing Skyarrow bridge,Pink arrives in Castila City. After some training at the Battle company and some healing and shopping she heads towards the gym, where she bumps into Cher.
Pink: Hi Cher. How did your gym battle go?
Cher:Burg's definitely quite the gym leader.I got the badge, but it was honestly pretty tricky
But bug pokemon aren't a challenge for me. I'm going to keep beating all the gym leaders in Unova. Then I'll head for the Pokémon League and beat the Champion! Once I do that, everyone'll recognize me as a powerful Trainer... I really feel that's what I'm living for.
(Cheren leaves, then Burgh comes running out.)
Pink:Hi Burg.
Burgh: Oh! your that girl who fought team plasma in Pinwheel...Pink right Come to challenge my gym?
Pink:yes
Burg: Well that's gonna have to wait. I heard that Team Plasma are in Castila. Come with me to Prime Pier
As they arrive at the pier,Pink sees Bi and a gril in a pink dress with purple hair.
Burg: Here's the situation...Team Plasma stole this girl's Pokemon.
Pink: What! (approaches Bi) Which one Bi!
Bi:(sobbing) munna...oh Pink is there anything you can do?
"I heard this missy here screamin' and came running! ...But this town is just massive. I lost the thieves in the crowds."
Burgh: Iris... You did what you could.
Iris:But it ain't right! You just CAN'T take somebody's Pokémon!! Pokémon and people coexisting is just so... super! Having each other there for support is neat.
Pink: I agree and that's why we're gonna get munna back right Burg.
Burg: Right Pink. Of course, searching for a person or a Pokémon in Castelia City is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
At that moment a Plasma approaches them.
Plasma: uh oh, a gym leader. Last time went so well I thought to grab another pokrmon. Rethinking...i gota run (flees)
Burgh: Pink, let's go! Iris! You stay with this girl.
Iris:ok
Pink: don't worry Bi, Burg and I will get Munna back,promice.
So Burg and Pink chase the grunt all that way to the gym where they see a group of Plasma guarding the building next door.
Burg: Hey you! let us through.
Plasma: Nope, sorry! There's no Plasma members or Sages in here! You think I'm lying? Let's battle and find out.
Pink & Bugh: you're on
[Plasma Battle]
Plasma sent out sandile
Pink sent out Sage
Pink: seed bomb
Pla:mud shot
Pink: razor leaf
<sandile faints>
Pla:This is bad... This is awful, terrible, worst, worst, worst! Team Plasma's been smashed again! Plasmashed, you could say!We'll have to report back to the Sage for now.
(The grunts run inside and Bianca and Iris arrive.)
Iris:Phew we got lost. I couldn't figure out the xtransiever's directions.
Burgh: Team Plasma is right here. So maybe the Pokémon they stole will be, too. let's go
(everyones runs inside.)
Inside they see Ghetsis, 2 sages and two plasmas
Ghetsis: So this is the gym leader Burgh.
Burgh: Team Plasma,are you the ones stealing what you want from people?
Bronius: Hiding out in plain sight near his gym seemed like an interesting idea, but it sure let him find us out quickly.
Ghetsis: Quite so.Well, we've already established a magnificent hideout. Now, are you familiar with the legend of Unova's formation?
Iris: Yeah, I know that! The one with the black dragon Pokémon, right?!
Ghetsis: Correct... How can a world with so many countries arguing be put to order...? There was a hero who pondered over that idea. And a black dragon Pokémon who turned its fangs on those who defied it... The hero and the Pokémon used their power to bring order to the hearts of all by creating Unova. And once more! The hero and the Pokémon shall be revived here in Unova to capture people's hearts!A remarkably simple desire of mine...I mean, of Team Plasma's!
Burgh: There are many people here in Castelia City... Their lifestyles and ways of thinking are all incredibly diverse. So honestly, what are you saying? 'Cause I really think you're missing something.
Ghetsis:what do you mean?
Burgh: That everyone shares a similarity in one respect: their valuing of Pokémon. We communicate with even our closest friends through Pokémon! Through battling or trading... Oh, about the speech at Accumula? I'm thankful that you gave me a chance to reconsider what it meant to get along with Pokémon. And so I swore...I would earnestly stand face to face with Pokémon! But what you're doing isn't exactly strengthening the bonds between people and Pokémon, now is it?
Ghetsis: Wahahaha! Don't think of it as seizing so much as dividing. I have plenty of good sense. And I love humans, really. After all, our king has brought together we Seven Sages to be an assembly of wisdom from all nations. Very well! For now, I'll leave you to your opinion... That girl over there... Give her back her Pokémon. (A grunt produces Munna and it runs back to Bianca.
Bianca: Th-Thank you! Munnie...! Welcome baaack!!
Iris: Bianca! Don't you see how villainous these guys are for taking people's beloved Pokémon?!
Bianca: Y-Yeah... But I'm just so happy Munnie is safe...
Ghetsis: What a beautiful sight! Fellowship between man and Pokémon! But we must still liberate Pokémon from foolish humans. And for that purpose, we must re-enact the legend to change people's hearts... Well then, take care... (Team Plasma leaves)
Iris: And why exactly did you let those scoundrels go?!
Burgh: ...Hrm. What else could we do, given the stolen Pokémon at stake?
Bianca: It's all right! Thank you, Iris! Nobody got hurt or anything. More than anything, it's just about meeting my precious Pokémon again!
Iris: Awright... I guess it's fine, then...
Burgh: So, what will you all do now?
Bianca: ...I kinda wanna look around Castelia City, but, uh... I
ris: You're in luck!! Don't worry, I'll keep bein' your bodyguard, Bianca!!
Bianca: Oh, Iris...
Burgh: Hm, alright. Iris is an extraordinary Pokémon Trainer, although she doesn't care much for this city. But anyway, people and Pokémon need to help each other! Cooperation and all that!!
Iris: Oh, and you...Pink! Thanks for lookin' for the Pokémon! Take this! (Gives pink an oran berry)
Iris: See ya later!! (leaves dragging Bianca by the arm)
Burgh: Well Pink, I'll be waiting in the gym.
