Bonnie and Ash crept out of the storage room they hid in. Bonnie needed a keyboard to get inside the security room, and they were gonna get it from the man in the suit and tie.

Bonnie pulled her colorful bag out from under her shirt and unzipped it. Dedenne peered up at her from inside. When they got to the door, Bonnie picked Dedenne from her small bag and set him on the floor. He looked up at her, confused.

Ash squeaked the metal door open just enough for the rodent to squeeze inside. Bonnie kneeled down and whispered to her pokemon.

"Dedenne, sneak inside and use discharge on the guy with the sunglasses." She muttered. The pokemon nodded in understanding before turning and crawling through the crach in the door.

The trainers waited for a while. Bonnie was almost afraid that Dedenna was caught. That was, until they heard the man scream inside.

After the noise had ceased, Ash and Bonnie entered the room to see a proud Dedenne standing over the limp man. Dedenna jumped onto Bonnie.

She chuckled a little while petting him. She placed him back into her bag and concealed it.

Meanwhile, Ash searched through the man's pockets and pulled out a red keycard.

Bonnie smiled as Ash stuffed it in his pocket clumsy.

The two made it back to the security room and Ash swiped the card in the reader. Bonnie pulled out her rifle and aimed it as the door slowly opened. Nobody even bothered to look at them as Bonnie strolled inside rifle high.

The space was covered in screens and monitors, depicting different parts of the facility. Five men sat in chairs staring at the screens. A discarded box of donuts was stuffed mindlessly in the corner.

An island with a giant screen filled the rest of the otherwise empty room.

Bonnie fired a shot at the first person. They slouched in their seat but didn't make any noise. She pulled the trigger once more and hit another man.

Bonnie quickly disabled all the men, now snoring in their seats. Bonnie took a donut from the box and shoved one of the men off the chair. She sat down and examined the bright screens.

"This place is bigger than I thought." Bonnie muttered to herself.

Ash pointed to the knocked out men.

"How long are they gonna be out?" He asked. Bonnie shrugged as she reached her hands over the keyboard and began typing.

"Few hours at least." She mumbled.

A map of the facility popped up on the screen.

"There we go." Bonnie spoke. She scrolled through the different floors. "Okay. So." She rolled the chair around to face Ash. "There's only one wing where they keep pokemon, it's the projects wing. Two floors below."

us."

Bonnie turned back to the screen.

"But that would mean crossing the cafeteria again." Ash said, as he stared at the map. "You'll be caught."

Bonnie nodded.

"Good point, I guess." She said. "Then it well have to be just you."

Ash stumbled back.

"Just me?!"

"Yup. It's the only way. Plus, I'll have to guide you ether way, I'll be safer here."

Ash sighed.

"Alright, what do I have to do." He relented. Bonnie pulled out the ear pieces she got earlier.

"I can sync them now that we're at a router. We'll communicate through these."

She tossed one at Ash. He caught the balck device and put it on.

"Alright." Ash spoke. "Let's do this."

Ash exited the room as his ear piece crackled to life.

"Can you hear me?" Bonnie spoke on the other end.

"Yup." Ash muttered as he stood just outside the doors.

"Alright. So head straight and take the nearest left to cafeteria."

Ash followed her directions. The earlier lively cafeteria was now empty and dark. He walked past it and into another intersection.

"Make a right, then walk forward."

Ash turned right and continued. Glass panes lined the right wall with shapes moving inside. He didn't want to look.

"Go past that intersection. Keep going."

"Now you should see some stairs to your right. Go down."

Bonnie layed back in her chair. Not because she was lazy, because she was tired. She kept a straight face.

The blonde watched Ash walk down the grey concrete stairs. For Ash, his acting is pretty good.

Bonnie strode to the side and opened some other documents saved to the computer. She wanted to learn as much as she could.

'Project Evolution?' She thought as she read. But before she could get to the next sentence, Ash spoke.

"Where now?" He asked. Bonnie looked back at the map.

"Sorry, got distracted. You're on floor B4, right? Go straight."

Bonnie looked back at the paper. Her eyes widened as she read on.

'Project Evolution is a long postponed project to create the most powerful. pokemon for the sake of Team Rocket's power. Currently, blocks 23 and 24 are on this project. Our goal is modify pokemon to become extra powerful in order to capture legendary pokemon and to stop the trainer, Ash Ketchum...'

Bonnie almost choked.

'Project Trait is the fuel for Project Evolution. The project extracts the traits and DNA of pokemon to add to Project Evolutoon, ultimately killing them. The spaces where this happens are labeled PT 1 - PT 12...'

"Bonnie?" Ash spoke from the other side of the ear piece.

"Oh sorry, take a left. That's all the maps details. You're on your own from here, Ash. Please hurry."

ASH POV

Ash walked down the halls. It was more populated here, but it seemed his disguse still worked. People in white coats and black uniforms walked around, erily silent.

It kinda made Ash uncomfortable. As if being inside a classified underground facility wasn't enough.

Windows led into each room, and at whatever chance he got, he looked through them. What he saw horrified him inside. Pokemon were floating in green tanks, with cords on every inch of their bodies. He could even name a few of them. From the window, it seemed the rooms stretched on forever.

He silently pouted. How was he gonna find Ghasteon or Pikachu now?

The signs certainly didn't help. PT 1? PT 2? What do they mean?

Ash turned and walked back near the intersection. Once he was out of sight, he slipped into an empty room.

"Bonnie?" He whispered.

"Yeah?"

"There's way too much space to cover! Can you, like, find them on the computer or something?"

"I'm trying right now. Nothing's coming up. I found the databases for the pokemon, but it's really long. It's gonna take a while."

Ash slouched a little.

"Hold on! I found where the pokemon starting with the letter 'G' and with ghost type are stored. PT 6, rows 5-21"

Ash sighed in relief and walked out of the empty room. The metal plating on the walls was getting really old. Ash wondered why people even work here.

He strode back to the project wing. He easily found PT 6 just a few doors down from PT 1. But it was still a long walk. When he arrived, nobody was inside. Ash snuck in and ducked below the window leading inside. He knew that the guards outside could see him through the window if he wasn't careful.

He carefully searched through each pod. Each row had hundreds of pokemon.

Ash sighed. This was going to take a long time.
