Somewhere in the Ocean

The party met up with the gun ship that Gary promised, all the wounded
were transferred to the ship, the Medics started to patch everyone up
and Ritchie got his own room and team of doctors. The ship headed back
to Pallet Town with its precious cargo and a school of Lapras with riders
as a guard and for a rear guard there was Charizard.

Pallet Town

When they arrived at Pallet Town Gary and Lara waste no time in getting
everyone settled in the wing for Cerulean City. All the wounded were
brought to the medical wing and settled there.

"It's a good thing that the planners planned for a large group of refugees
we still have plenty of room." Garry remarked to Ash when they met up in
the war room each one finding a seat.

"I have always wondered how much space this place took up . . . . "
Remarked Ash.

"Well, if you look at the plans, the classroom is at the center of town
where the town-square used to be. From there it extends out for approximately
2 miles in all directions, with 15 stories of depth." Answered Gary, "But
I think it is larger, the only plans we have are the original ones It is
still 15 stories but how many miles . . . I don't know I have people working
on it. But they are having trouble finding all the exits. But the fortress
itself is situated about a half mile under ground."

"Funny I would not have thought such a feat was possible but then again
with Pokemon to help . . . . At least it is big, even with Team Rocket
Killing people left and right we are still a LOT of people." Mused Ash.

"Ash did you know that Team Rocket completely destroyed Lavender Town?"

"No . . . ."

Well we have heard that the people fled to the Pokemon Tower . . . that
place is nearly indestructible . . . but the rest of Lavender is gone."

"What kind of food supply do you think they have?"

"Probably nothing If they do have anything it is because a lot of people
risked their lives to get it from Team Rocket." Replied Gary.

"So, we should go there next . . . but . . ."

"How?" Interrupted Gary.

"They have a harbor and the Lapras are still willing to help we could do
the same thing as we did for Cerulean City. Or we could go in by flying
Pokemon."

"That might work but I don't think we should use the same tactics all the
time . . . . " Gary trailed off.

"I agree, that is why I was thinking of trying to get an expert here . . .
we don't know war, we need someone who does."

"Yeah but WHO?"

"I was thinking Lt. Surge . . . . If I can find him he will probably help
us. I'm fairly certain that he wouldn't have anything to do with the
Rockets."

"You are right there Team Rocket High command put a price on his head so
large he can't even show his face to a hermit anymore. Of course that also
could be a trap for us . . . . "

"well I have a sure fire way to find out. I'll know when I see him . . .
and it will work for anyone else out there."

"Howzzthat?" queried Gary.

"Oh a little Psychic that I met a few years ago, we met just before I won
the Mastership."

"And which one would that bee all the Psychic Pokemon went to saffron City
last year, Even the ones that had trainers here . . . even that Mr. Mime of
your mom's. Though he came back on orders from Sabrina."

"The Mirage takes orders from no one . . . She always does her own thing
that is why she is a Mirage."

Gary was too stunned to speak for a few moments. When he recovered enough
to form a coherent string of words he asked "You caught a MEW?!?!?"

"Hmmm, no, Misty once complained that all my Pokemon followed me."

"Ok, so, a Mew just decided to follow you?!?!"

"Yeah it followed me for a while before I found out about it one day it
helped me out of a tight spot."

"You never cease to amaze me . . . ."

"What," Ash said smiling, "every time you called me a looser you really
wanted to say how amazing I was?"

"Not every time," replied Gary with a return smile, "but a lot of it."

"Ha, if I had known that I would have thought a little more kindly of
you."

"Reason #1 to call you a looser . . . you don't loose your edge against
me and I have a worthy rival."

"Ha I never lost my edge against Ritchie, and he never called me a
looser. Speaking of Ritchie I want to see how he is doing."

"Yeah same here . . . but first what are we gonna do with Lavender Town
and Lt. Surge?"

"I figure that I can go talk to Surge and you and Misty can get ready for
Lavender Town. Contact Sabrina and see if she can spare some of her
psychics for a supplies teleport in to the Tower."

"Ok that is a good idea. Now let's go see Ritchie."

The two champions left the war room to check up on their old friend.
