Chapter 31 - *Hidden* (1/2)

It was 9am in the morning and Jay was getting dressed for the next Pokemon Gym battle, it took him the whole night last night to convince his mother and Freya to stay at home while he is going for the Battle. The worst part was the fact he shared the reason why his father has not shown up yet till now is the fact about the mewtwo project which made his mother quiver when she heard that they managed to recreate the pokemon, it made her even more frantic to not let him go but when he said he wish to bring it to an end so his father might have courage to face his sins she kept quiet and never said another word till now.

Freya was a bit more understanding as she knew that it was Jay who fought the legendary birds of Kanto so another Pokemon on Kanto should not easily threatened him so she agreed to stay and help his mother out, since Freya was here and the League were properly monitoring his mother Jay recalled all his pokemons he left here once and took everyone together with him as he got onto his motorcycle and drove off to Veridian City.

Upon Arrival Jay was checked by Officer Jenny who was controlling the entrance and leaving of the city along with her team of Policemen, when she saw Jay's ID she immediately gave it back to him and gave him a serious nod allowing him to enter. Despite the police launching a strict check up the town was still as lively as ever with everyone calling out their products in hopes to attract a potential buyer, and there was even some trainers having Pokemon Battles to entertain the people. Jay continued to walk while looking at the newer shops that opened up recently till he reached the pokemon center, when he entered he was greeted by a bright smile of Nurse Joy which he grew resistant to thanks to his daily interaction with Freya which he realized that she will punish him if he gets intimate with other girls. Friends is fine anything more and he gets the washing board,

Joy: ”Welcome to the Pokemon Centre, would you like for me to check up your pokemons?”

Jay hands over his team he will be using in the upcoming battle for Nurse Joy to do a regular check up.

Jay: ”Check up please”

Joy: ”Please take a seat, I will be back in a hour or two”

Few hours later

******************

Jay Collected his pokemons from Nurse Joy and went to the back of the Pokemon Center where he trained with his pokemon to see if their condition is good enough for the upcoming battle, unlike other pokemon gyms. Jay will be facing Giovanni's main team as a challenge which includes Mewtwo which he can't neglect, especially Giovanni's Title of being the strongest Gym Leader of Kanto which is definitely not for show. After confirming that his pokemons are in topnotch condition and even better after training in his PokeWorld for so long they should be good enough to take on his team.

Finally it was 3 Pm and Jay was walking straight for the Veridian Gym that looked Deserted, no one was coming near the Gym at all which was quite strange indeed. Since he was here for a Gym battle he pushed open the door only to find one big light was on and working which showed the centre Battle Field with a Man standing at the Gym Leader side silently with his eyes closed. When Jay entered the Gym and started to walk down the man who was standing on the field began to speak.

Giovanni: ”It has been a little more than five years haven't it Jay Silver...”

Jay: ”Yeah it has, I Must thank you for that money your Team Rocket loaned me when I escaped from the Team Rocket Head Quarters five years ago”

Giovanni: ”So it was you who stole the money, stole my first Mewtwo and all the resources in the Storage!?”

Jay: ”Of course! I mean it's against the law to steal from innocents but it's not against the law to steal from Criminals after all”

Giovanni: ”You must be confident to say this in front of me... Is it because of you the League locked down the city?”

Jay: ”Well Of course, you the leader of Team Rocket needs to be stopped isn't that how it works? Villains get their arises kicked by heroes”

Giovanni: ”BWahahaha and your the hero?”#

Jay: ”Whether I am a hero or not, I will leave it for the future generation to decide... So Giovanni I challenge you to a pokemon battle for Veridian Gym's badge”

Giovanni: ”Very well but the battle types will not be your usual you had up till now... We will have two battles, the first one will be You against my pokemon and I will fight your pokemon at the same time... Our Second battle will be a regular pokemon battle”

Jay: ”As expected, you truly are a survivor from the outside aren't you?”

Giovanni: ”Of course, I did all those menial tasks to grab the Leagues attention to pull me in as a Gym Leader here so I will be the final test before the Grand Test for Pokemon Trainers so the League won't need to deal with the weaker pokemon trainers but instead the league helped me! After making a deal with the trainer I will make them sign a contract where if they lose they have to work for twenty years under me, I of course held their family hostages till they were loyal enough to serve me in Team Rocket”

Jay: ”Your truly a scum”

Giovanni: ”Scum!? BWahahahaha Then the vice president who was torturing the trainers and their families is even more scum since he did it to help me cause trouble so he could use it as evidence against Charles Goodshow and take over the League!”

Jay: ”You are quite honest as it seems you realized I was tapped huh?”

Giovanni: ”Of course! I have not been a leader of a criminal Syndicate for so many years for nothing but don't think I am so easy to be caught boy”
