Next day before sunrise,"Wake up, wake up, wake up you Damm slowpoke." This was the first thing that Alex heard as he started to rise up from his sleep. His eyes were foggy and he saw a blurred image of a red haired young boy who was shaking him while saying him to wake up.
As he came to his senses he saw Lance was shaking him to wake him up. Then suddenly he sat erect and his head hit Lance"s. Then they both held their head and rolled on the ground in pain. " What the h.e.l.l Alex look where you are? And did you have to sit down so quickly. had it not been that we are busy I would have slammed you back to the ground." Lance thundered at Alex.
" And who was it that sat on top of me and was shaking me up and down. You should be glad I didn"t throw you over like I did and that time." Alex glared at him with red eyes. Meanwhile Lance was holding his shoulder as if it hurts.
Nearby Lorelei came to them to stop their fight and said," Calm down. Save your energy to complete the plan so we could free ourselves." and pulled both the young trainers up from the floor. then continued," So are you both ready to act?"
Alex on hearing about the plan clenched his fists then looked at Lance who looked at him intensely then nodded to Lorelei in agreement.
" Let"s commence the plan."
Meanwhile at the command center,
" Look those fools are starting to act. Have you started to record it? this will help us access them better and grade them for the upcoming trial." One of the Elites said.
" Yes sir . All the records will be directly transfer to the boss and we are also ready to create their backups in case of some emergency." The grunt in front of a computer replied.
" this is what separate us from those other idiotic organization. We don"t have any waste among us. All the wastes perish in the trial." the elite thought then said,"" Then continue to observe them and don"t let them die. Also make note of those three trainers we spotted out earlier, they are different from others. "
Then in the screen of the command room the images of Lorelei, Lance and Alex are on focus.
" Yes sir. As they are the leaders and planners of this upcoming riot will there be any specific instructions to take care of them." The grunt asked politely.
" Others can"t die and could be injured but these three are not to be maimed and severely injured. These three are the most probable to rank among top 50. So ask them not to hurt them much."he replied.
" But sir they are the ones instigating riots so why aren"t they punished."the grunt asked curious.
" Are you questioning your orders. Do I have to remind you what happens to those who question their superiors." he glanced coldly at the grunt who started strutting " Nnnooo sir I will do as you say Sir."
" Good. I will forget your misbehaviour now but don"t repeat or else.." he didn"t finish but the grunt started going pale thinking about his outcome if he angered him.
In the storeroom where trainers are kept the plan has started. The door of the room was a simple door not an electronic or sealed one so if enough force was applied it may break. The thing they did was tie all the ropes in the room and thicken the rope. Then tie it to the handle of the door and pull hard. All the trainers started pulling the rope back to break the door open but the knots seem to start loosing the grip and they get separated. They continued a few times but they failed multiple times but at last they were able to unhinge the door a little.
Seeing the unhinged door they started gaining their lost hope and this time they wound the rope much more tightly and the door opened with a loud bang.
This bang alerted the guards around and they started heading towards the storeroom. Then Lorelei too told them," Let"s separate as planned "
There were total 24 trainers and they were divided in groups of 6. A total of 4 group and they headed out. Lance, Lorelei and Alex were in three different groups.
Their plans composed of three parts:
1) escape the room
2) turn off the power supply of the base
3) retrieve their lost Pokemon
Since they don"t know the layout of the base so all of them knew the plan. This plan was pretty amateur but this gave these hopeless trainers hope to combat the opponents. But the real plan only Alex knew as he knew they were under the surveillance of the Shadows so he didn"t reveal the entire plan.
Alex headed west from the room Lance to the east while Lorelei and other one towards the south. In his team Alex wasn"t the leader but a sixteen years old trainer was. His name was Bank and from what Lorelei told him he was almost an intermediate trainer.
They ran through the corridor and came across two grunts who stood in front with their Pokemon . The Pokemon were Raticate as well as a ekans. They both were scary and had scars over their body and the fang of Raticate had cracks showing how much it suffered over the years as their teeth could even break down rocks.
Grunt1"where do you think you brats are going? "
No reply came as the trainers found them trapped and affected by their murderous aura but Alex who has already experienced it was thinking of a plan.
" Since you all brats broke the rules so it come upon us elders to punish you. So be ready." Grunt 2 crackling crazily.
Then the two Pokemon headed towards the group of trainers with Raticate and ekans ready to bite them.
Same thing happened to all the other groups. they too had been caught by the shadows and are attacked by the pokemon.
At the command center,
"If you want to escape you should try harder or else you will suffer badly." Fang said coldly looking at the situation of the four groups.
Now these escaped trainers are once again trapped. What will they do to combat this situation? How will they take on these Pokemon without their own? And will they be able to escape the base safely? for all this stay tuned
