Lake Guardians

Looker was in trouble. He found Team Galactic in an abandoned warehouse called Fuego Ironworks, outside of Floaroma Town. So he assumed the disguise of a Team Galactic agent to find out what they were up too. But Commander Jupiter, who heard about him before from Saturn, didn't fall for his trick. So now he was under attack from Jupiter's Skuntank. Jupiter wanted to know how much information Looker had on Team Galactic.
Meanwhile...
The gang was resting in Floaroma Town's Pokemon Center. They needed to pass through the town again to get to Sunyshore City. Right now they were watching a news report on TV. It announced a Pokemon Contest that was going to be held in Daybreak Town and it was going to be a double performance contest.
"Great. I'm going to enter this contest." Dawn said. "The truth is, I've been wanting to try double performances after losing the Hearthome Contest." 
"I know you'll pass this one Dawn, especially after all our tag battles." Ash told her. 
"You're right Ash." Dawn nodded in agreement.
"That's on the way to Sunyshore City." Brock pointed out.
The gang had just left Floaroma Town.
"Wait." Ash said, telling them to stop.
"Mewtwo's calling me again." He added.
Mewtwo had been traveling around Sinnoh. Ash held onto the Master Ball and listened to what Mewtwo said.
"Oh no." He gasped. "He just told me that Looker is being attacked by Team Galactic."
"Where are they Ash?" Dawn asked.
He contacted Mewtwo again and got more information this time.
"Mewtwo told me that Team Galactic is at this strange, abandoned factory not far from here." Ash answered.
Brock checked his PokeGear.
"It could be this." He said.
The others were shown a picture of Fuego Ironworks.
"That's the old Fuego Ironworks. It's been abandoned for years."
"It's the perfect place for bad people to use as a hideout." Dawn said. 
"It says here it used to be the most successful and largest factory in Sinnoh." Brock noted. "But they shut it down due to pollution."
"I wonder what Team Galactic is using it for?" Dawn asked.
"I don't know, but we have to get there fast and help Looker." Ash declared.
He contacted Mewtwo again.
'Can you teleport us to the factory.' 
'I'll be there right away.' Mewtwo said.
Back at Fuego Ironworks
Looker had been locked in a cell; Jupiter had captured him. The cell locks had traps on them and he couldn't do a thing to get out. Jupiter's Skuntank was also guarding the cell. As for Jupiter, she was inside the factory with Charon. He was using the machinery in the factory to create what he called the Red Chain. It was something Team Galactic intended to use to create a new world. 
"I'm really clever." Charon wouldn't stop boasting, irritating Jupiter.
"What are your plans for the international policeman?" She asked him.
"Cyrus informed me that he has plans for him and the rest of the international police." Charon answered.
Saturn was also doing something; he was continuing to look for the entrance to the Spear Pillar on Mt. Coronet. 
"Toxicroak, Rock Smash." He ordered. 
Behind the rocks was a huge, silver sphere-like object. A Galactic grunt laid the spear key in front of it and the key and the object floated up. That meant they finally came across the entrance to the Spear Pillar. Saturn was delighted after finally finding the entrance. Cyrus, who was watching everything from the ship, was glad the entrance had been found.
"Saturn, lock down the area." He ordered.
"We will not proceed until all preparations are made." He said.
Back at Fuego Ironworks
Jupiter received word that the entrance had been found. 
"Now the real journey begins." She smiled.
Suddenly a Galactic grunt reported people outside.
The people happened to be the gang. Mewtwo had flown to where they were standing and teleported them inside Fuego Ironworks.
"Thanks Mewtwo, we'll take it from here." Ash said. "You stay here. Otherwise Team Galactic will see you."
Mewtwo nodded in understanding.
'Be careful.' Mewtwo warned them.
The gang then ran through Fuego Ironworks. Suddenly a swarm of Golbat appeared.
"Oh great, it's Team Galactic's Pokemon." Tomo groaned.
He released Electivire.
"Thunderbolt." The Golbat were zapped unconscious.
"Great work Electivire." Tomo said.
He kept Electivire out just in case more Golbat popped up.
The gang ran through Fuego Ironworks again until Jupiter and her Skuntank stopped them.
"You!" Ash shouted, remembering their encounter at the museum in Celestic Town. "You're Jupiter, one of Team Galactic's commanders! Get out of our way!"
"Where's Looker!" Dawn demanded.
"You kids really do know how to appear to us." Jupiter said. "Do you wish to join Team Galactic."
"You've lost your mind if you think we'll join you!" Ash shouted in disgust. 
"Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie." Jupiter whispered.
Ash, Brock and Dawn were surprised hear those names and remembered what happened after seeing their spirits.
"Why did it have to be you?" She demanded. "Why is it that the lake guardians chose you? You saw them."
"Hey! How do you know we saw them?!" Ash shouted. 
"We know all about it." Jupiter said, not bothering to answer his question. "But we were the ones who were supposed to synchronize with the lake guardians."
"You? Synchronize with the lake guardians?" Ash blinked. "Ha! Don't make me laugh. There's no way the lake guardians would synchronize with evil individuals like you and the rest of Team Galactic!"
Jupiter thought that was a insult and moved in to attack. 
"Skuntank, Flamethrower." She ordered.
Piplup countered with Bubble Beam, producing a mist. Pikachu, Growlithe, Electivire and Piplup got ready to fight. 
"Skuntank, Toxic." Jupiter told it. 
It produced a poisonous mist. Ash quickly generated a aura shield to protect everyone. As for Jupiter, she and her Skuntank escaped, boarding a helicopter.
"We'll deal with Team Galactic later. Right now, we need to find Looker." Ash said.
The others agreed and they went across the factory to find Looker.
Inside the helicopter, Jupiter continued to grumble about the lake guardians choosing the kids. She didn't take kindly to Ash's words.
"Jealous are we?" Charon asked.
"Don't be silly!" Jupiter snapped.
The truth was she was jealous, but she didn't want to admit it. The helicopter made it's way to Mt. Coronet.
Meanwhile
Looker noticed how quiet everything was from his prison cell. Just then the gang appeared.
"Looker, are you alright?" Brock asked.
"Ash, Tomo, Dawn, Brock." Looker said. 
He was surprised to see the gang again.
"We received word you were attacked by Team Galactic and we came to help." Ash informed him.
Looker was grateful because he did need some help right now.
"I'll get you out of that cell." Ash grabbed hold of the bars and bent them then ripped the door out of the wall.
"I appreciate it." Looker thanked him and took out a special pair of glasses.
As Team Galactic left, Looker needed to find more clues about them.
They walked further into the factory to try and find out what Team Galactic had been doing there. They came across a room where a computer and some controls were. Looker pressed a lever on a controller which powered a elevator up. The group boarded the elevator which went down to the factory's basement. This was where Jupiter and Charon were working.
"I wonder what Team Galactic was doing here?" Ash asked.
Suddenly there was a glint of light coming from one of the platforms Team Galactic had been using. There was a reddish-pink shard on the platform.
"What is that?" Tomo asked.
"It must be something Team Galactic left behind." Brock said.
Ash felt on edge with the shard; after all the times he encountered organizations like Team Galactic, he knew they wouldn't leave stuff behind by accident.
"Be careful with this Looker." He advised. "No way Team Galactic would leave this behind by accident. This has to be a trick."
"I agree." Looker also felt this was a trap. Since he was a detective, he's familiar with this sort of thing.
Looker and the gang immediately headed back to the police station in Floaroma Town.
'We found Looker.' Ash told Mewtwo telepathically.
Mewtwo observed Team Galactic's helicopter fly away, but opted not to follow to avoid being seen. To be safe, Ash returned Mewtwo to the Master Ball.
"Prof. Oak, can you take care of him for a while?" Ash asked.
As Looker and Ash thought the shard was suspicious, Looker decided to scan it on a machine, separated from other machines, just in case. Their suspicions were confirmed because when the shard was scanned the device exploded.
"It was a trap." Looker said. "You were right Ash. Team Galactic intentionally left this shard behind as a warning to stop future investigations."
"Figures." Ash muttered.
"Team Galactic may have won this round, but they won't defeat me so easily." Looker said.
While Looker and his men go over the details with Team Galactic, Dawn couldn't stop worrying about what Jupiter said about the lake guardians.
"About the lake guardians." She told the boys. "What does it all mean?"
"I don't know." Ash replied. "But remember what I said before Dawn? About us being destined to meet the lake guardians. Well with Team Galactic making their move again I get the feeling we'll find out why the lake guardians appeared to us soon enough."
"I wonder how Team Galactic knew about us seeing them." Brock said.
"Maybe someone at the museum in Celestic Town told them about it." Tomo replied.
The gang had a big mystery on their hands; they had no idea where to find the answer.
Meanwhile
"Can you capture the lake guardians?" Cyrus asked Hunter J.
Team Galactic was about to begin the plan to create a new world.
