Lightning Island.
"So that is where Team Aqua probably hiding all this time, huh? No wonder we can't find a single clue about them on Shamouti Island."
Everyone was staring at the large airship that was absorbing the thunderclouds in the sky.
At first, Hisoka wanted to ask Gardevoir to teleport them to the airship, but he threw the idea out immediately. Even though it was easy for Garevoir to bring them up there, he was pretty sure that there were a lot of monitoring devices on the airship.
After discussing with each other, they decided to disguise themselves as Team Aqua to infiltrate the airship in the sky. It was much safer for them this way.
They took one last look at Zapdos and Moltres battling in the sky before they left the area.
"There are too many people in the center of the island. We should move away from this place a little bit. I think there are only a few people patrolling near the periphery of the island. We should be able to take them out without attracting Team Aqua's attention."
Will had stayed on Lightning Island much longer than them. He was very familiar with the terrain and Team Aqua's routine.
With Will's Xatu scouting their path ahead, they were able to bypass Team Aqua sentries.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5! There are five people on the team. Should we take them out?"
Doran asked in a whisper.
At this time, everyone was lying down, peeking behind a wall.
A few meters below, six people in Team Aqua uniforms were walking past them, chatting and laughing among themselves. It seemed these guys weren't unaware of what would happen to them soon.
Hisoka nodded silently and gave a signal to Gardevoir. She nodded and raised her hand toward them. In just a few seconds, she managed to take them all out with a simple Confusion.
They quickly ran down and pulled the unconscious Team Aqua members away from the path. Then, they began to change into Team Aqua uniforms after looting them and locking their Pokeballs.
Just in case, Hisoka also gave them a dose of sedative. That should be enough to knock them out for at least two days.
He then released his Rhyperior and told him to dump these guys in the cave not far away from them so they wouldn't be found.
After that, they all nodded to each other and headed toward the beach, where they saw a helicopter parked. When they reached the beach, they made quick work of the two guards and boarded the helicopter.
Luckily for them, the helicopter was equipped with automatic flight controller systems. After inserting the key that he took from the pilot, he turned the engine on. Soon, the helicopter began to slowly rise.
"Attention. Please state your confirmation number."
Suddenly, when they were just about to reach the airship, a voice came through Hisoka's headphones.
"Request permission to aboard. The confirmation number is 208970."
He replied after recalling the information he got after Gardevoir interrogated the pilot earlier.
"Confirmed. You are now allowed to board."
The moment he landed the helicopter on the helipad, he released his Porygon and told it to enter the network security system of the airship.
After successfully gaining access to the internal network of the airship, he obtained the interior layout of the airship. With this map, they would be able to find the main control room much easier.
"We are now at the top floor of the Flying Palace. The main room is somewhere in the central area of the airship. Let's take the elevator. I hope no one is in the main room right now."
While explaining, he sent them the map of the airship to their phones. After making sure that the coast was clear, they hurriedly entered the elevator.

Shriek!
With a piercing cry, Zapdos released a massive discharge of lightning toward the sky. Dark clouds started gathering in the sky of Lightning Island once again, albeit much smaller in size.
Lightning rolled in the clouds as Zapdos fired down a blast of Thunder at Moltres.
Boom!
Moltres, who had fallen under Dark Ball's control, was struck by lightning, sending him flying away. However, its rage made it unaffected by pain as it kept continuing its attack on Zapdos, disregarding his injuries.
At this time, Lawrence was sitting in his collection room. He hadn't noticed that a few people had sneaked into his airship as he was watching the fierce battle between the two legendary birds.
After being zapped by Zapdos terrifying Electric-type attacks multiple times, Moltres finally couldn't hold it any longer. Zapdos last Thunder almost knocked it out.
"It's time, Mr. Lawrence. We are going to start the plan now."
Suddenly, Matt's voice rang throughout his room.
"Good. Weis!"
Lawrence shouted loudly.
After waiting for a few seconds, he didn't receive any reply yet.
"Huh? Strange? Why is Weis not answering me?"
He murmured to himself. His brows began to scrunch up. This hadn't happened since Weis was created. Usually, he would answer his call.
Unbeknownst to him, Hisoka's Porygon had already infiltrated Weis's main system. Under his order, Porygon began to destroy Weis by sending a virus to its system. Although Weis was a powerful artificial intelligence system, it was no match for Pokemon that could travel through cyberspace like Porygon.
"Weis?"
He stood up and shouted with a worried look on his face.
"What are you doing? Why don't you answer me?"
Sorry master, I'm having trouble with my system. I...I am h... having a hard time fixing it. You might need to send someone to check the main control room."
"Mr. Lawrence? Mr. Lawrence?"
Matt's voice ran once more. He sounded anxious this time.
Phew!
Lawrence took a deep breath to calm himself down. After he regained his composure, he replied to Matt.
"Sorry, Matt. We have a small problem. My artificial intelligence system can't access the main core. I am trying to fix it right now."
"We can't wait any longer. Moltres won't last long. Is it ready?"
Matt was not at ease at his reply. He hurriedly urged Lawrence to fix the problem.
Lawrence also knew that Moltres was truly at its limit. Likewise, he was worried that they wouldn't be able to catch Zadps at this time.
"Weiss, try to activate the weapon system again."
"Weapon system activated. We are ready to go, master."
He finally sighed in relief after hearing Weis's timely response.
"The ammo has been loaded. The B-type weapon is ready to go."
Weis's voice echoed throughout the entire airship. Even Hisoka, Will, and Doran, who was sneaking around the airship, could hear it clearly.
Then, four missile warheads slowly revealed themselves at the front of the airship.
The missile's target was Zapdos.
Lawrence sat down on the chair with a confident smile on his face. With the weapons equipped on his airship, Zapdos would fall into his hands soon.
"Fire!"
After locking on the target, Weiss immediately activated the missiles. In an instant, the four missiles ignited and flew toward Zapdos at high speed.
