The first thing I noticed when I got to Mahogany Town was the Mahogany Gym, and the second thing I noticed was a suspicious "tree" with antennas sticking out the top next to the center building. I checked out the sign, and it claimed to be a Souvenir Shop, "Nothing suspicious about it no need to be alarmed." I went inside and talked to a man near the entrance, who said something about an experiment being a success. He said how Magikarp are worthless, but Gyarados are big moneymakers.
I talked to the man running the shop, and I told him I heard wind blowing into the room, and he claimed it was just him whistling. He asked if I wanted to buy something, but all he had was a Potion, Pokeball, and a Tiny Mushroom. Knowing that this was the only shop in the town, having so little on sale was even more suspicious. I saw a radio in the corner and checked it, and heard something strange. I tuned in with my Pokegear, and heard a very strange, repeating tune playing. I knew these guys must be with Team Rocket, but I couldn't do anything about them yet.
I talked to a few Townspeople, and they mentioned a Red Gyarados rampaging in the nearby Lake of Rage. I realized I remembered hearing about it back in Sinnoh, where Simon and I both saw a show about it. It was what started us together on our journey there, and I felt nostalgic for the grand adventure I had through Sinnoh. I decided that if I had the chance, I would catch the Red Gyarados and bring it to Simon. First though, I would have to make my way through several Trainers, and through it all Seth and Lucas both grew to Level 31.
I got to the Lake of Rage, along the way learning that it was made by rampaging Gyarados ages ago, and it was raining hard. The lake had risen from the rain, and I could see trees that were almost completely submerged. I saw nearby the large Red Gyarados raging, and I Surfed over to it on Blake, ready to fight it with Seth.
The Red Gyarados was strong, and it's Intimidate cut Seth's attack in half. Gyarados used Dragon Rage for great damage, then Seth used Vine Whip for minor damage. I quickly realized that Seth wouldn't be able to do much, and I sent out Edward, who got hit by Bite for great damage. Edward hit Gyarados with Thunder Punch for massive damage, and Gyarados was knocked out. I was disappointed, knowing that was a possibility using Edward, but at least I got a Red Scale for a souvenir.
I got out of the Lake of Rage and came across a man in black with red hair, who had a Dragonite hovering next to him. He told me that the Red Gyarados wasn't acting right, and that the whole reason it acted that way was because something had forced it to evolve. He asked if I came because of the wild tales, which I had, and I introduced myself. The man introduced himself as Lance, and he told me he heard some rumblings and came to investigate. He saw the way I battled, and could tell that I'm a Trainer with great skill. He asked me to help him investigate, and I was more than happy to.
He told me how the Magikarp of the lake were being forced to evolve, and that a mysterious radio broadcast coming from Mahogany is probably the cause. He knew the Souvenir Shop was suspicious, just as I did, then he told me he would be waiting for me in Mahogany Town before he flew off. I flew back to Mahogany Town with Lucas, ready to head into the Souvenir Shop.
