(Gold's POV)

I snap out of my thoughts and exit the Pokemon Tower.

Then I saw Ariana and some grunts. They're wearing some disguises.

Anyone who doesn't know them would be fooled. But not me. I already know who they are.

"Anyone want this Pokemon?" One of the Grunts says.

There are a lot of people gathering around to see what's going on.

I walk closer and then hear a conversation.

"How much does it cost?" A boy around my age says.

"A million!" Ariana says.

"WHAT?!" Everyone says.

Then everyone except for Team Team Rocket leaves.

I quickly get out of their line of sight.

"Maybe we should go to Goldenrod?" Ariana says.

The others nod and then they fly up.

I follow them on Togetaro.

It takes a while to get there but eventually, we do.

They enter the Goldenrod department store.

I wait a few seconds and then tail them into the building.

They go to the very top.

I'm wondering why are they going there? Does it matter which floor?

They're walking to the person at the counter.

I hide behind some aisles that are near there.

"How much for this Pokemon?" Ariana asks, holding out Manaphy's Pokeball.

"Hmm." The person says, "Don't know."

"WHAT DO YA MEAN YA DON'T KNOW?!" A rocket grunt yells.

"Uh..." The person sweat drops, "How much are you offering?"

"A million!" 

"No, no, no!" 

"GIVE... IT ... TO ... US!" Ariana yells slowly.

"We don't have that much!" The person is getting scared.

"THAT'S IT!" Everyone in Team Rocket yells.

I call out Etaro.

Then I communicate with it and tell it to go grab Manaphy's Pokeball.

Etaro walks slowly and is now close to Ariana.

Then it grabs the Pokeball from the counter with one of it's tails, and runs back.

Ariana looks where the Pokeball was. and yells "WHERE'S MANAPHY!?"

A Rocket grunt points to my direction.

I get into their sight.

"YOU KILLED PROTON!" Another Grunt says.

"He deserved it..." I mouth.

"YOU WILL PAY!" Ariana yells.

She throws a Pokeball and her Arbok appears.

I signal to Explotaro that Etaro's going to handle this.

I snap my fingers and Etaro goes for a Double - Hit.

"ICE FANG!"  Ariana commands.

Etaro and Arbok make contact, but since Etaro has two tails, it wins the battle with one shot.

Then I look behind me to see Explotaro choking because a Rocket Grunt is trying to KILL it!

I charge at the Rocket Grunt and when I did, he went flying.

Explotaro accidentally released its Blast Burn because it couldn't get its breath back for moments.

Everything's on fire. 

Team Rocket escapes.

I was about to go after them until I hear someone say "Help..."

I look behind me to see the guy at the counter lying on the ground.

I command Etaro to grab him and take him outside.

It runs downstairs and I follow it with Explotaro.

I get other people out of the building too.

Fire is everywhere. The flames are trying to engulf me into them

Then I hear a voice when I was about to exit the burning building. 

"Gold... help..."

I look into the direction where I heard the voice. 

With fear, I see Crystal on the floor, struggling to breathe...
