Sunyshore Tower

Unbeknownst to everyone, trouble was brewing in Sunyshore City. Cassidy and Butch from Team Rocket were in the city and they had their eyes on the Sunyshore Tower.
"So this is the famous Sunyshore Tower Dr. Namba was telling us about?" Cassidy asked.
"Yes." Butch said. "According to him this tower makes all the electricity for the city thanks to the solar panels it has, and it also controls all the other solar panels in this city."
"And to think this was all created by the leader of this city." Cassidy said.
Dr. Namba wanted the Sunyshore Tower to use it for his own purposes.
"Let's get to work." Butch said.
He and Cassidy walked to the tower to carry out their plan of stealing it.
Meanwhile Ash and Volkner were getting ready to battle each other. Ash was going to battle Volkner first and then it would be Tomo's turn. The robot referee declared it to be a 3 on 3 Pokemon battle. Volkner sent out a Luxray while Ash sent out his Rhyperior; Ash had decided to use Rhyperior for this gym battle.
"Wow it's Rhyperior." Dawn said.
"Using a ground type Pokemon is a huge advantage over Luxray." Brock said.
"Yeah, but Volkner still won't make this battle easy." Flint said.
Flint knew how tough of a trainer Volkner was.
They were about to make their first moves, when suddenly the lights went out and the robot stopped working.
"Hey what happened?" Ash exclaimed.
"A power cut?" Dawn asked.
Volkner checked the gym's power box right away to see if that was the problem, but it wasn't. Everyone then left the gym. It wasn't just the gym that had no electricity; the whole city was without power. No escalators were moving and even all the robots stopped working. 
"What's going on?" Brock asked.
"The solar panels in this city collect the sun's energy and send it all to Sunyshore Tower which acts as a power plant for the entire city." Volkner said. "So something must be happening at the tower." 
Suddenly there was a rumbling noise and the ground shook a bit. Something was happening at the tower and everyone ran to see what was happening. When they got there they noticed the tower had wheels attached to it. Officer Jenny was there too.
"What's going on here?!" Flint demanded.
Cassidy and Butch revealed themselves.
"Oh great it's Team Rocket again." Ash muttered.
"Team Rocket?" Volkner was confused.
"They're a criminal organization that goes around stealing Pokemon." Brock filled him in. 
"That is normally the case." Cassidy said. "But this time we're stealing the Sunyshore Tower. This electricity making thing will become very useful for us."
"What?!" Volkner shouted. 
He wasn't happy that his tower was being stolen. At that moment the tower started rolling away. What had happened was Cassidy and Butch had made adjustments to it so they could control it like a machine and take it away easily.
"I will not let my tower be taken by criminals like them!" Volkner shouted.
As he created that tower, it was a pride and joy of his. He ran after the tower and so did Flint and the gang.
Cassidy and Butch were feeling very pleased with themselves right now.
"This tower is definitely worth stealing." Butch said. 
"We better deliver it to Dr. Namba right away." Cassidy said.
Cassidy and Butch drove the tower all the way to a rocket launcher; they designed the tower into a rocket and of course electricity was the fuel for it to work. Volkner, Flint and the gang arrived just before it was getting ready to take off. 
"They are not taking my tower anywhere." Volkner said. 
He and Flint charged and jumped onto the rocket as it was starting to take off. 
Ash flew up to the rocket as well, leaving Tomo, Brock and Dawn behind.
Once close enough, he grabbed a hold of the ladder and turned back to normal. Then he, Flint and Volkner climbed up the tower to find a way in, but Flint lost his grip and fell off the tower then into the sea. 
"Let's hurry and get in before we fall as well." Volkner told Ash. 
He knew how to get in because he constructed the tower.
"Hopefully Flint's okay." Ash said after he and Volkner entered the tower.
"It'll be alright, he's a big boy." Volkner said. 
He took a look around and realized Team Rocket is controlling the tower from the observatory. Cassidy and Butch were feeling more and more pleased with themselves. 
"I think this is the funnest thing we have ever done." Butch said. 
"Yeah, and imagine the reward we'll get for this." Cassidy said.
Meanwhile...
Flint, who was okay after landing in the water, was in the Pokemon Center with Dawn, Brock and Tomo. Nurse Joy was having trouble because of the power outage. Some of the Pokemon in the intensive care unit were in danger and the backup generator wasn't working either. But Nurse Joy had a backup plan; she had an emergency backup generator but it only operated by pedaling a bike. There were two bikes attached to the generator so Flint got on one bike while Tomo got onto another. Dawn and Brock agreed to help Nurse Joy right away.
Back inside the tower...
Volkner apologized to Ash about their gym battle being interrupted. 
"Don't worry about it." Ash reassured him. "This was Team Rocket's handiwork. Besides, getting Sunyshore Tower back is more important right now." 
"You're right, our Sunyshore Tower must be protected." Volkner agreed.
"Hey Volkner." Ash said. "As this city is the sunniest place in all of Sinnoh, was that the reason you built all the solar panels and Sunyshore Tower?"
"Correct." Volkner nodded. "And the tower is what makes Sunyshore City. That's why I have to get it back no matter what."
Ash understood his point. They came towards a door.
"We can get to the observatory through here." Volkner said.
Suddenly a cage dropped onto Ash and Volkner, trapping them.
"What the?!" Volkner gasped.
Just then Cassidy spoke through a speaker and security camera.
"Sorry boys." Cassidy said. "But we've been watching you from our security camera." 
"We thought you might come here for your tower Volkner, but I'm afraid you won't be getting it back so easily." 
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Ash ordered.
"Raichu, Thunder!" Volkner ordered.
Their electricity was redirected to the generators. It was like they were lightning rods that attract lightning. Cassidy laughed.
"I'm afraid your electric type Pokemon will only power the tower up instead of save it." She said.
Ash smirked.
"Pikachu isn't the only Pokemon with me." He said.
He released Grotle.
"Use Superpower." Ash said. 
Grotle used Superpower on the cage. The cage was broken and then Grotle broke the door open.
"Alright Team Rocket, return Sunyshore Tower now!" Ash growled.
Cassidy and Butch weren't going to give up so easily so they sent out two Pokemon to fight back. Cassidy sent out a Mismagius and Butch sent out a Drapion.
"Mismagius, Shadow Ball." Cassidy said.
"Drapion, use Poison Sting." Butch said.
"Use Withdraw Grotle." Ash said.
Grotle let the attacks hit him, but thanks to Withdraw it really didn't hurt. 
"Great Grotle, now let's show Drapion and Mismagius your power with Hidden Power." Ash said.
But before Grotle could use Hidden Power, he started to glow and evolved into Torterra.
"Wow Torterra, look at you." Ash said in awe.
Just then Torterra used Leaf Storm to push Drapion and Mismagius back. Ash was amazed that Torterra learned Leaf Storm.
"Use Leaf Storm again." He ordered.
Cassidy, Butch and their Pokemon were caught up in Leaf Storm and they were pushed out of the tower.
"We're blasting off again!" Butch and Cassidy shouted.
Unfortunately, the attack created a hole in the tower and Ash, Volkner and their Pokemon were in danger of being sucked out. Volkner quickly headed to the control panel and sealed the hole with a emergency bulkhead.
"Good job." Ash said. "What now?"
"We need to get this tower back to the city." Volkner said. "Thankfully, we still have the rocket."
"Will you be able to fly this thing?" Ash asked.
"Don't worry, I was the one who built this thing." Volkner reminded him. "Pikachu, Raichu help me."
He needed their electricity to power the tower.
Back at the tower
Flint and Tomo were still pedaling the bikes. Tomo was starting to feel tired.
"I need a drink please." Tomo gasped.
Brock quickly gave Tomo some water.
"Thanks Brock." Tomo panted.
"You're doing well Tomo. Try to hang in there more okay?" Brock reassured him.
"Okay." Tomo sighed.
Suddenly there was a loud, rumbling noise.
"What's that?" Brock asked.
The noise came from the tower's rocket. It was flying over Sunyshore City. At that moment, the power in the Pokemon Center turned on; the generator was fixed. Nurse Joy was relieved and the people who fixed the generator were pleased with themselves.
Meanwhile
Volkner was concentrating hard while flying the rocket. Pikachu, Raichu and Luxray were fueling the tower with their electricity. Ash looked on while Volkner steered the rocket. It wasn't easy but with a lot of effort, Volkner managed to safely land the tower on the ground where it belonged. 
"Nice." Ash smiled.
Volkner was happy that his tower was back where it belonged.
Ash introduced his new Torterra to Dawn, Tomo and Brock right away.
"I wish I saw Grotle evolve." Tomo said.
Despite Sunyshore Tower being brought back, Ash and Tomo weren't able to have their gym battles. The gym was damaged as a result of the tower being stolen and Volkner had to repair it. 
"I'm sorry, but you'll have to wait a while." Volkner apologized.
"Don't worry about it." Ash responded. "I have a battle with Palmer and the Sinnoh Grand Festival to keep myself busy in the meantime."
"Um I'm sorry but you will need to wait to battle Palmer too." Flint apologized as well. "He's currently spending time with his family, including his son Barry and he won't return until next week." 
"Ah well, there's still my last Pokemon Contest and the Grand Festival." Ash said.
"I'll contact you as soon as the Sunyshore Gym and Tower are repaired." Volkner promised.
With the 8th gym battle on hold for the time being thanks to Cassidy and Butch, the gang made their way to the Sinnoh Grand Festival.
