The gang was looking at there new pokemon in the locker room and admiring there skills. "I say after the rounds are over with we should go out and trian our new pokemon. I'd like to see how good they'll be once they evolve." E.J. said as his new Yanma sat on his head. "If I'm right Yanma does'nt evolve." Simon said playing with his Cyndaquil. "That's alright because Yanma are rare. Whoever caught it must had some skill." Curt said as his Wooper ran around his legs."May I have your attention. the second round will begin now. The trainers who I call out report to their fields right away. Will Martha of Goldsboro and John of Charlotte report to the ice field..... Will Curtis of Greenville and Ben of Farmville report to the water field..... Will Gibson of Fayetteville and Joseph of Wilmington report to the grass field..... Finally will Isabella of Goldsboro and Noah of Durham report to the rock field. Thank and good luck. "Hey Tim, can I ask you a question?" Shawn asked. "What is it?" Tim replied. "I thought you said you were facing someone from Ashville?" Shawn asked. "I did. Why ask me now?" Tim said with an eyebrow raised. "Cause the announcer said she was Greensboro." Shawn said. "I must have been looking at a different person's. Now if you don't excuse me I want to go see Curt battle." Tim said as he left.
       "I wonder what pokemon he's going to us?" Tim thought as he stood inthe entrance way were trainers could watch the battles. "Now entering onto the field is Curtis Barnes of Greenville." the announcer said as Curt came out waving at the crowd. "And on the other side of the field Ben Hays of Farmville. This will be a one on one battle." the announcer said as Curt and Ben choose pokemon. "Go Snorlax." Ben yelled as a huge Snorlax appeared in the middle of the field. "Go Charizard." Curt said as his Charizard appeared before him. "Snorlax Hyper Beam." Ben yelled as Snorlax charged up a Hyper Beam. "Has to be a beginning trainer." Curt thought as he smiled. "Charizard Fly and wait for the Hyper Beam." Curt yelled. Charizard nodded and flew into the air and awaited the Hyper Beam. Snorlax had finished and released the beam and was headed straight for Charizard. "Now Charizard Fire Barrier." Curt yelled as Charizard formed a huge blockade of Fire in front of him just before the hyper beam hit him. Ben just stood there speachless as Curt ordered a Siesmic Toss that KOed Snorlax. "And Curtis Barnes from Greenville is the winner." the announcer yelled as Curt and Ben shook hands and recalled thier pokemon. "Good battle." Tim said patting Curt on the back. 'No pressure." he said as they walked towards the locker room. As they walked they were stopped by the man in the trench coat. "You know its gettin kind of creepy, when you start popped up all the time." Curt said. "My apoligees, but my boss wishes to speak with you all. He'll answer all of your questions." the man said. "Why sould we trust you and your 'boss'?" Tim said with an eyebrow raised. "Just do. It'll will pay off. Trust me." the man said as Tim and Curt agreed to come.
       They followed the man alway to the other end of the Stadium, until they reached a door that said 'League Offical's Office'. As they entered they saw the rest of the team sitting or standing. "So got you too." Simon said leaning agianst a leather sofa. "Where is this so called boss?"Tim asked. "Right here." a voice siad from behind a chair. "You were there the whole time?" Sharief asked. "Yes I was. I have sent my CO Seth to get you for an important propossel. Team Rocket has been a menace for the League for 4 years now and it is time to put a stop to their evil organization. But I have no one to do this. Until now. I have been watching everyone of you ever since you competed in the League to become pokemon master and I was wondering if you want to help us?" the man asked. "How come you have'nt asked the police?" Curt asked. "Because some of them are corrupt Rockets. They seem like the helpful cops, but they are traitors to all people they help." the man answered. "Why did you give us these pokemon?" E.J asked holding up the pokeball that was given to him. "I was hoping you would get to that. Those pokemon are to help you in training. If you checked with your pokedex's they all are at high levels. Plus they were stolen from some Elite Rockets who stole them from other trainers." the man added. "You do know that some of us are Pokemon Masters." Tim said. "I know. More the reason to join us." the man said. "Let me talk it over with the boys." Tim said as they all got into a hudle. They all talked for a while and then came up with an answer. "Before we join, we wish to know if we can finish the tournement?" Tim asked. "Yes you may." the man said nodding. "Then we accept." Tim siad. "Great. Let me be the first to welcome you to the Superiors." the man said as he shook each of there hands. "Excuse me. May I have your attention. The socond round is over with. The winning trainers are.... John of Goldsboro beat Martha using Jynx and Vaporeon, Curt of Greenville beat Ben using Charizard, Gibson of Fayetteville beat Joseph using Zubat, Poliwhirl and Pidgeotto and Isabella of Goldsboro beat Noah using Rhydon. Congradulations to the winning trainers. The third round will start in 10 minutes." the announcer said. "I must go. I have a meeting with the gym leaders in Chapel Hill. You can stay here in my penthouse while I'm gone. Goodbye and good luck." the man said as he left. "Hay I forgot to ask him something." Simon said. "What did you forget?" Shawn asked. "I wondered if were getting paid for this." Simon said as he plopped on the leather couch and began to watch T.V.
