The Gym Challenge was finally over, Wes had won his fourth Gym Badge. After Bellosom fainted, Erika returned it back to its Pokeball. Then she went towards the healing machine to heal her beaten up team. Then she met Wes in the center of the arena.
Erika: Congratulations on your victory. Here, I present you with the Rainbow Badge.
Wes took the Badge, and Erika continued with the rewards for the successful challenge.
Erika: You will also receive 25000 Pokedolars and the choice of the TM Giga Drain or 2 Calcium Vitamins.
Wes: I chose the Vitamins.
Wes chose the Vitamins. The calcium were very important for his newest team member Haunter. It would provide an extra boost before his next, Gym Challenge at Fusia City. Yes, Wes had decided to skip Sabrina for now and fight the Poison Type Gym first.
On the stands, the girls were shocked to learn that Wea also had his own Venusaur and a Psychic Type Pokemon. He really was a nightmare match-up for this Gym.
Wes then left the Gym and went to the department store to buy some special treats for his Pokemon.
Then, six days quickly passed. Wes stayed for a bit at Celadon City to train his Pokemon. After all, Leaf was a very good partner for sparing. Wes also trained against some of the Gym trainers and battled twice against the 5th Gym Badge team of Erika. With Erika's ace Pokemon being at LV 36, Wes expected Koga to have Pokemon at the LV 40-44 range. He also had to wait for the result of gis tip off to the police.
At the morning of the 6th day as Wes woke up he opened the TV to hear Todays news.
Reporter: A corpse of a young male trainer was found in the wild area of Viridian Forest. The victim appears to have died, from a swarm of Beedrill.
" Being a Pokemon Trainer in real life is for sure more dangerous than what was shown in the anime".
Wes had really turned his thoughts about the Pokemon world upside down. But even though it was tyireng, he still loved every minute he spend with his Pokemon.
Reporter: Now moving on some breaking news. Yesterday, during the evening hours, the police along with two Elite Four members and Champion Lance, had raided a suspected Team Rocket base in Celadon City. The Police received from an anonymous source that there was a hidden passage at the Pokemon Game Corner that led towards a Team Rocket base. The raid was successful, and more than 300 Team Rocket grunts were captured. This is one of the most successful operations against Team Rocket for the past 5 years.
Wes started to smile at the report.
"The operation was carried out successfully, and Team Rocket definitely has no idea about what went wrong. After all, how are they supposed to know that a reincarnaitor sniched on them. I wonder how Giovanni will react when I inform the police about their base inside the Viridian Gym."
Wes was smiling at the success of the operation and couldn't wait for the rewards he would receive.
At the Team Rocket HQ in Viridian City.
???: YOOOOOOUUUU USLESS TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The boss of Team Rocket was screaming his lungs out at his his 4 admins for the disaster that happened in Celadon City.
Giovanni was a 41 year old pale white man. He wore a very luxurious and expensive black suit. On the best pocket, a huge red R could be seen. But the pale white color of his face has turned into bright red.
Archer: Sorry, boss, I can't explain what happened.
A tall, thin blue, azure haired admin tried to apologize. He was still shocked about the discovery of the game corner Hideout.
Giovanni: Sorry??? SORRY!!!!!!!!!! We were making a lot of millions every single day, and it's all gone like nothing. I demand an answer, as to what went wrong.
Petrel: Boss. The Police received an anonymous tip, that a grunt entered a hidden door. That's what I was able to find out when I went undercover at the Police Station. There a chance that a grunt got careless and entered the hideout while close to a customer.
A tall purple haired with a weird haircut admin responded with what he had found out.
Giovanni: I see. Ok then. Archer, Proton I want you to leave for the Magohany Hideout. After this disaster, the forced evolution project is our main focus for now.
Proton, Archer: Yes, Boss!!!!!!
Archer, along with a light green haired admin, immediately responded to their boss.
Giovanni: Petrel. I want to find all of our grunts that managed to escape. After you find them, you have to take them to the Magohany HQ.
Petrel: Yes Boss.
Then Petrel left with his other two colleagues.
Ariana: Dear, what about the Silph Co plan???
A red haired mature beauty questioned her boss... Well, actually, her husband. Ariana was the wife of Giovanni since they were 20 years old. No member of Team Rocket new about their relationship, though there were some I side rumors.
Giovanni: That plan is scraped for now. The Celadon Hideout was a major strategic point for that operation. For now, it's more efficient to focus on the forced evolution project. Luckily, I had a Gym Challenge today. With Lance, Agatha ad well as Lorelei, I would have been caught.
Ariana: We should better lay low for now.
Giovanni: Yes. I must also talk with Silver. He must understand what we are trying to do.
Ariana: Yes dear.
Two days later in Celadon City.
Policeman: Thanks to your information, the operation was a big success. The Indigo League has decided to reward you with a Pokemon Egg of a rare breed of your choice. As well as what are your preferred Moves you want.
During 18:00 an undercover cop paid a visit to Wes. The reward for the information he provided finally arrived.
Wes: Let me think for a bit.
Policeman: Don't worry, you can send as an email when you confirm your choice.
Then the police officer left. After all, he couldn't stay for a lot of time, as it could raise some suspicion and put Wes in danger.
" What do I want to complete my team. For now, 9 Pokemon are more than enough. The new member will also be, of a way to low LV. Then I guess this is a chance to pick my starter Pokemon for my next region."
Wes spent a total of 3 hours before he made his choice. Then 5 days passed, and Wes was just outside Route 17. His next stop was Fusia City and Koga, the Poison Master.
" Ok, I have trained my Pokemon, and their LVs have increased by quite a lot. Now, only one final mater needs to be done in order to leave for my next Gym Challenge."
Wes: Nidorino come on out.
Wes then called out his Nidorino. In his left hand he was holding an ethereal grey stone.
Wes: Nidorino as a Poison Type immune to the poison Status condition. You will be the main force for the next Gym.
Nidorino: NIDOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Nidorino roared full of excitement.
Wes: Also, hold this for a moment.
Nidorino: Nido????????
Nidorino touched the weird stone. Then a white blinding light enveloped Nidorino. That weird stone was a Moon Stone. After Nidorino hit LV 43 Wes decided that it was the right time to evolve his Nidorino into a Nidoking. As time passed, Nidorino started to gain a massive increase in size. and bulk. Finally, the blinding light dissipated, and a newly evolved Nidoking was beside its white-haired trainer, who had a huge smile on his face.
