LOG 38: The New Member

On a remote island far from the coast of Unova is a facility hosted by the infamous Team Plasma. Like every night, the facility was busy, researchers and scientists on their desk to study Pokemon and its nature. It was part of the science department of the organization when suddenly, a familiar someone struck them dead. However, the price to pay was also her life.

From the dark and gloomy skies, embosomed with stars and the grinning moon, a fire set ablaze headed towards the facility. To their eyes, it was an asteroid. They were confident their Pokemon could handle such a disastrous impact coming their way but they thought wrong. The attacks of their Pokemon were unable to counter the massive object in the skies, thus it crashed and burned only a fourth of the whole.

"That's no asteroid. It's an attack known as Draco Meteor." said one of the professors in the control room.

"Really then? Where's the rest? The attack requires a bunch of asteroids to impact us." doubted the second professor.

The first professor panicked, switching the tabs of the large screen to the cctv monitors, showing eight more of the same attack was heading towards them.

"Who could be responsible for all of these?" asked the third professor who came in a jiffy.

"Sir! There is an unidentified Pokemon flying fifty meters above ground. That may explain it." reported one of the grunts.

"But who could it be?"

***

"Salamence! Draco Meteor once more!" bellowed Zinnia.

<Sal!>saluted the Pokemon, throwing another round of attacks.

"Tell our grunts to point their turrets at the skies, ASAP!" commanded the first professor, also the leading professor.

"Yes, sir!"

Grunts rambled outside, sitting on the saddles of their turrets, strong and magnificent weapons of destruction that can fire eighteen bullets at once. This facility hosts four, one on every corner of the island.

They thought wrong of their actions for Salamence's eyes were no frantic, but rather, keen and sharp. Though it was dark, his eyes and ears were powerful. They sounds of the passing bullet, its long golden rod shaped bullets, were all dodged. Salamence swiveled the air then launched a Dragon Rage on the first turret.

The ground was lit in fire, grunts being thrown off from the saddles. Salamence and Zinnia went for a dive, hitting the other three turrets until there was nothing left of their defenses.

"Sir, all our turrets have been destroyed!" alerted a panicking grunt.

"How could that be? Who is responsible for all--"

"Leading professor, the intruder has entered sector one. Our grunts are currently handling her."

"So it's a she then," said the second professor in command.

"Big mistake, she's now at sector two sir," reported a grunt who chimed in.

"Well I'll be damned." swore the leading professor.

"Unfezant, use Air Slash!"

"Salamence, Thunder Fang!"

The grunt's Pokemon blasted away.

Red heating lights encompassed Zinnia as she traveled through the corridors, searching for the lead professor and his other officials.

"Our Pokemon are no match for her Salamence, I'm afraid." discussed the second in command.

"Then she must be from Team Rocket?"

"No leading professor, she doesn't have any uniform. It's a trainer I suppose."

"You're all wrong!" another grunt entered. "We've gathered intel about her. She's the lore keeper from the Hoenn Region. Her name is Zinnia. It's no longer a question if this facility goes down in flames. She's a dragon master, and I bet she' doesn't give a crap about the dragon masters of this region. Her skills are way above Drake's."

Another grunt entered. "Sir, we've identified twenty more intruders coming from the east of the facility."

"East? She's not alone?" asked the second in command.

"Yes she is, but she doesn't know others are raiding our facility as well. We're done, None of us will get the chance to even tell Ghetsis about this."

"Make that twenty two sir, it appears there's another fella following the backs of Ms. Lore keeper."

"Must be her companion. Let's just wait until we're finished. This facility is over."

"You can't give up that easily," encouraged the leading professor to the second in command.

Sounds of vents clanging above them interfered. They were frightened, blanched their faces became. Their heart beat accelerated.

A vent door fell... Followed by six motorcycle suited officers.

"It can't be, the--" they were struck in the neck before they even had the chance to finish their statements.

***

"Whirlipede, use take down!"

"Salamence, Dragon Rage! Quick!"

The moves collided, alongside Whirlipede who was heading towards Salamence. The red lights and the blaring sirens continued to sound. She was stunned to see from her east, a group she was unaware of was attacking some grunts.

Crunching footsteps from behind her... stepping unto the brittle glass... getting louder by the second...

She was petrified to look back as a black arm choked her neck. Salamence tried to grapple against the grip being done to her trainer but was later shot by a sleeping dart.

"Let me go!" said the struggling Zinnia.

"You? The name's Jenny, and I'm not letting you go that easily. I see, I know you. You're friends with that bastard." an evil chuckle passed through Zinnia's ears as Jenny tightened her grip.

"I see a potential. You will become one of us. You will tell me all you know about Luna."

And there, Zinnia was bashed at the head. It was excruciating to make her faint but too feeble to kill her.

"Alright, our raid is finished. Bring the professors to the ship, I'll bring the Lore Keeper. They'll be our new members."

"Jenny! Look what I found," Andrea came by. Jenny tilted her head only to see one of her commanders holding what appears to be a test tube.

Jenny flinched.

"Where did you get these?"

"I found it in one of the drawers."

"B-brain washing serums." she murmured softly.

"These are the ones from Hoenn, right?"

She said breathlessly as if she was losing consciousness, "Yeah yeah, just bring it with me."
