Once I healed my Pokemon up at the Pokemon Center, I made my way to the Team Galactic HQ with my new Galactic Key. It was finally time to break my foot off in a few assholes.
I went in through the center door to the main lobby, unlocked the big doors, then headed upstairs. I found a Full Heal at the top of the stairs, then went east into a room with a couple Grunts. The first one sent out a Golbat, and I sent out Annabelle. Golbat used Mean Look to keep Annabelle in the fight, then she hit it with Cut for great damage. Golbat used Wing Attack for great, super effective damage, then Annabelle hit it with another Cut for great damage. Golbat went and used Confuse Ray to confuse Annabelle, but she powered on through it to use Mega Drain for minimal damage and healing. Golbat used Air Cutter for great damage, then Annabelle used Cut again to knock it out. Another Golbat was sent out, and I sent out Lucius to fight it. Lucius hit it with Fire Blast for massive damage, but it managed to cling on and use Confuse Ray against him. Lucius used Stomp to finish it off and win the battle.
The other Grunt used a Golbat and Silcoon, and both went down easily against Maximus and Lucius. I used a Fresh Water to heal up Annabelle and continued on. I went through a few warp panels to find a Max Revive, then went back through them to find a "Team Galactic TV Room" that held a Scientist who wanted to fight. I sent out Annabelle, and he sent out Kadabra. I switched over to Lucius, and had him use Megahorn for massive, super effective damage that knocked it out and won the battle. I went through the warp panel at the southwest corner of the room and found myself by some stairs, and the room next to me was the "Team Galactic Nap Room" which allowed me to rest my Pokemon and heal them.
I went up the stairs and found a Full Restore before getting into a Double Battle with a couple Grunts. I sent out Annabelle and Maximus, and they sent out Stunky and Croagunk. Maximus used Crunch against Croagunk for great damage, then Annabelle hit Stunky with Wood hammer for massive damage while being hurt by recoil, and then Stunky hit Maximus with Night Slash for good damage, while Croagunk used Mud Bomb against Maximus for massive, super effective damage. I had Maximus switch out with Marcus, and then I had Annabelle use Earthquake for massive, super effective damage against both Pokemon, knocking them out. Another Croagunk and Stunky were sent out, and I had Annabelle use another Earthquake, but not before Marcus got hit by Sucker Punch. Annabelle's Earthquake did massive damage against both Pokemon, knocking them out like the previous ones. Annabelle grew to Level 41, and then a Glameow was sent out. Marcus hit it with Fly for massive damage, knocking it out and winning the battle.
After going back to the Nap Room to heal my Pokemon, I continued past the two Grunts and found a few warp panels. I took the middle one and found an Elixer, then went back and took the left one and headed up some stairs. I found another set of locked doors that I opened with the Galactic Key, and found myself face to face with Cyrus, the leader of Team Galactic. He had heard of a Trainer fighting their way through the HQ, surprised that I was a "mere child." He knew why I was there, that I wanted to save the lake guardians, telling me he had no further need for them. Cyrus told me to go ahead and save them, that he didn't care and I'd save him the trouble of disposing of them. He was impressed by my will though, that I would go through so much just to save a few Pokemon out of pity and compassion.
Cyrus said that pity and compassion are products of a weak and lacking human heart, that it was just sentimentality. He told me he'd make me regret following my heart, and then we battled. I sent out Maximus, and he sent out Murkrow. Maximus used Spark for massive, super effective damage that knocked it out in one blow, and he grew to Level 41. Next up was Golbat, and I kept Maximus in the fight. Golbat used Poison Fang for great damage, a critical hit, but Maximus countered with Spark for massive damage that knocked it out instantly. Finally Sneasel was sent out, and I sent out Alexander. Sneasel used Screech, then Alexander hit it with Revenge for massive damage, knocking it out instantly, and the battle was won.
Cyrus was impressed by my strength, believing that the basis of my power was my compassion toward Pokemon. He believe it to be wasteful, that such emotions are just illusions, and that they fade over time until death banishes them. Cyrus had abandoned all emotions as useless sentimentality, but decided I would never understand his position. He however had recognized my strength and courage for coming alone, and gave me a Master Ball as a reward. Cyrus told me it wasn't something useful to him, that unlike Trainers he didn't wish to make Pokemon his friends or partners. He didn't use Pokemon as tools either, like his subordinates, instead he just made their power his own.
Cyrus told me to take the warp panel ahead to save the Pokemon, and that he was off to Mt. Coronet, where he and I first met. He said he would reach the mountain peak and put an end to everything, or more appropriately bring about a new beginning for everything. Then Cyrus left, and I found a Nugget in the room and a PC with interesting reports. To summarize everything in the PC, the creation of the world and the Sinnoh region was assumed to be the work of a powerful Pokemon, one that ancient people regarded as a deity, and that capturing it in a Pokeball would limit it's power, but by extracting crystals from the Pokemon of the lakes a red chain could be created that would summon and control this powerful Pokemon.
I went back to rest my Pokemon, then headed through the warp panel to I assume an underground lab. I passed through a hallway filled with things floating in a green fluid, with a couple Scientists who seemed to doubt what they were doing, who seemed ashamed of the work they had been doing. I found Uxie, Azelf, and Mesprit all sealed in machines, suffering pain from the experiments. I then went up to the Galactic asshole who was running the machines.
It was Commander Saturn at the controls. He didn't understand why his boss would let someone like me come and go freely, and told me that Team Galactic takes all they need and eliminate what they don't. He decided to try getting revenge after his defeat at the lake, and I was ready to fight him with everything I got. Saturn sent out Kadabra, and I sent out Lucius. Lucius used Megahorn for massive damage, knocking it out instantly. Next up was Bronzor, and Fire Blast was all that was needed to knock it out. Last up was Toxicroak, and I decided to send out Marcus to fight it. Marcus' Intimidate cut it's attack, and then he flew high. Toxicroak missed Poison Jab because Marcus was flying, then he swooped down to hit it with Fly for massive damage, taking it out in one blow. Marcus grew to Level 41, and the battle was won.
Commander Saturn relented, and told me the button on the machine would set the Pokemon free. He was true to his word, and the lake guardians disappeared immediately. Saturn told me that Cyrus had crafted a Red Chain from the crystals he took from the three, and it's exactly what he needs to shackle this "deity" Pokemon on Mt. Coronet. Before he left, Commander Saturn said he had no idea what Cyrus was planning on doing up there with the Pokemon.
I left the Galactic HQ after making my way to the ground floor on one last warp panel, and then I went to heal my Pokemon and gather supplies for the journey up Mt. Coronet. If there's going to be a powerful Pokemon being summoned, I'm sure I'll need some Pokeballs!
