Bonnie proceeded to go through a gate passage way and got to a new area. She didn’t really know where she was so she took out her Pokegear and looked up where she was. It said Beryl Ward and to the right was Beryl Bridge. She tried to continue north but vines were blocking the entrance to Beryl Ward.
She looked at her Pokegear again and looked where she could go. More to the left was an area called Rhodochrine Jungle. Just like before, Bonnie figured a place filled with plants would be a good place for them to use that PULSE Machine. So she headed out that way. It didn’t take long for her to reach her destination.
It was quite different from the Malchous Forest. A lot more trees were covering the sky. Bonnie was so distracted however, that she fell down a whole that was covered to look like a pile of leaves. She and Dedenne had hit their heads hard, knocking the both of them out. When they woke up, they both had horrible headaches.
Bonnie: Ow. My head hurts. Are you ok Dedenne?
Dedenne: Denene.
Bonnie: Good. Where are- huh?
In front of her were 2 Nuzleafs.
They stared at the both of them and snickered. Bonnie looked around the area and realized they were in a big cage. 1 of the Nuzleaf flipped a switch and a door came down. They laughed again and then left.
Bonnie: Hey! Get back here and let us out! Do you both hear me!?
No matter how much she yelled though, they didn’t come back. They couldn’t do anything but just sit there and wait for someone to come and let them free. Fortunately, someone did come and find them in the cage. Unfortunately, that some was Fern. But when he saw her in the cage, he burst out laughing and ran the other way from the cage for a little bit.
Bonnie: Hey! Where are you going!?
Fern: -comes back still chuckling- I’m sorry. I had to go away to try not to laugh in your face.
Bonnie: Urgh! Shut up Fern!
Fern: Seeing you trapped in that cage is just too much. You look so helpless. It suits ya.
Bonnie: I’m not helpless!
Fern: Then get out on your own.
Bonnie: I… I can’t…
Fern: Ha! Knew it. But wow. Imprisoned by Nuzleaf? I came up here in hopes of finding a Gym Leader, but all I find is a scrub in a cage.
Bonnie: I’m not a-
Fern: Hush. By the way, how many badges do you have Bonnie?
Bonnie: Not that it’s any of your business but… 2.
Fern: And it took you what? 3 days to get them? I already have 2 and it only took me barely 24 hours. Who’s a better Pokemon Trainer now?!
Bonnie: Can you just please get me out of here?
Fern: Normally I wouldn’t, but you caught me in a good mood pipsqueak. Top dog Fern’s here to help you out. I’ll let you out if you get on your knees and beg.
Bonnie: What?!
Fern: You heard me. Get on your knees and beg.
Bonnie couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Here she was, stuck in a cage and this jerk would only let her out if she got on her knees and begged. She looked down at the ground, clenching her fists. She took 1 knee. She was considering doing it but she knew if she did Fern wouldn’t not let her hear the end of it. On the other hand, she didn’t know if anyone would come out there and free her. She placed her other knee down on the ground.
Bonnie: I… Please let me go.
Fern: Good start. Now say “I’m a pipsqueak noob”
Bonnie: I’m a… I’m a pipsqueak noob.
Fern: Good. Good. Now say “Fern is all around a better trainer than I, Bonnie.”
Bonnie felt insulted that he wanted her to say that. She hated saying this just to get free. She looked up at him and stood up.
Bonnie: I’m all around a better trainer than you, Fern!
Fern: That’s not what I said. Get back down on your knees or I’m leaving your ass here.
Bonnie: No! I’d rather rot out here than to grovel at your feet.
Fern: Tch. Suit yourself. Later loser!
With that, Fern left the area. Bonnie kind of regretted what she did but she didn’t want to bow down to Fern. She stayed in the cage for a bit longer until something surprising happened. Out of nowhere, a Chatot came walking out and pulled the lever, freeing Bonnie from the cage.
Chatot: Chat Chat! “Release Bonnie!” -walks away-
Bonnie: Release Bonnie? Wait. The only person I know who has a Chatot is that Taka guy? Did he set me free?
Bonnie pondered about that for a moment but then snapped back to reality. She started to venture throughout the jungle. She soon came to a cave and inside it, she found another cage much like to the 1 she was in but with an officer inside. She pulled the lever and the door opened. She ran inside to make sure if the officer was ok.
Bonnie: Hey. Are you alright?
Policeman #3: I’m alright. I fell into a random pit trap and when I woke up, a group of wily Nuzleaf had tossed me in here.
Bonnie: Yea. I know how that feels. -nervous chuckles-
Policeman #3: Now that I’m free, I’ll get back to the station! It’s been too long!
Bonnie: Alright. Be careful out there.
Policeman #3: Ohh. Before I leave, are you planning on trying to take care of Team Meteor?
Bonnie: That’s why I’m here.
Policeman #3: I would have you come with me but if you’re this far, then that means the chief gave you permission to walk around. I saw Team Meteor put something down on the ground more north of here. You’re gonna have to find 3 levers to make it even so you can cross it safely.
Bonnie: Ohh. Thank you for telling me!
Policeman #3: No problem. Be safe and good luck!
The policeman ran out of the building and back to the station. Bonnie now went in search for the 3 levers. Near the cave she was in was another cave. When she explored it, she saw 1 lever there.
She pulled it and could hear something outside. She was hoping that it was the thing turning so she could cross it. As she went further into the jungle, she crossed and bridge and saw yet another lever, which she pulled.
She heard the same noise. Next, she saw a big building. She went inside and saw a person sitting there.
Survivor: Hey there. Are you injured? How about your Pokemon? I’ve gathered plenty of supplies here to last until the crisis is over.
Bonnie: Ohh. Well I guess my Pokemon could use some healing up.
Survivor: Great!
Bonnie called out all of her Pokemon and the guy sprayed Potions on them and gave them Ethers. In no time at all, they all felt back to tip top shape. She returned them all back to their PokeBalls. Bonnie thanks the survivor and was about to leave when he stopped her.
Survivor: Before you go, some time ago, I heard what appeared to be yelling in the room back here. I’m too afraid to go see what it was. I’m not sure if you’re busy or not but could you take a look for me?
Bonnie thought about it. She was busy dealing with Team Meteor but then again, this could be 1 of those missing Police Officers. She decided to quickly go investigate. When she got there, she could see a Growlithe looking down a big hole in the floor. The Growlithe saw her and moved away and notioned her to look down the hole. She cautiously did and couldn’t believe what she saw.
It was a police officer but he had wood splinters going through his body. He didn’t survive the fall. Bonnie backed up out of shock. She didn’t want to see more death. The Growlithe then ran out of the room and building and presumably back to the station. Bonnie literally ran out of the room and building. She didn’t want to go back in there for any reason. She tried pushing that memory to the back of her mind and continued looking for the final lever. She eventually found it and pulled it.
She then went as far north as she could and saw the thing the officer was talking about. It was now able to be walked upon. In the next area, she could see Team Meteor Grunts. She battled them all and then came to a building. She went inside and could see a Team Meteor Grunt and another Police officer.
Team Meteor Grunt: Hey! This is private business! Stay out of it!
Bonnie: You’re holding an officer hostage! How about you let him go!
The grunt threw out his Pokemon but he was no match for Bonnie. After the battle, Bonnie ran up to the last lost officer.
Bonnie: I’m glad to see you’re ok.
Policeman #4: Me too. Thank you so much for saving me. Listen, the Meteors are gathering up just ahead. Be careful alright?
Bonnie: I will. Before you go back though… you should know that 1 of the officers didn’t make it.
The officer had a surprised/upset expression on his face. Bonnie felt the same just telling him that.
Policeman #4: Thank you for telling me. I’ll make sure to tell the chief.
Bonnie: Good. I’ll deal with them.
The officer then walked out of the building. Bonnie walked south and finally encountered some of the higher ups of Team Meteor. She could see ZEL and Taka but there was a hooded member next to them. She couldn’t see who was under the mask.
Zel: You!
Taka: Oh hey Bonnie.
???: What is it now?
Bonnie: Stop the PULSE Machine now!
Taka: This is the trainer that defeated the PULSE in Jasper.
zEl: Bonnie is also responsible for destroying the PULSE in Obsidia.
Bonnie: And I’m about to make it 3 with this 1.
Taka: I invited her up here so we could all deal with her together.
???: Ahh. That was you.
Bonnie: Uhh… Yea…
She didn’t know why but this hooded member was giving her the creeps. Maybe it was because she couldn’t see his face or it was the voice but he gave her the chills.
???: An alley cat parading as a tiger. Heroism is vainglory.
Bonnie: I’m not sure what that means but I know what I’m doing is the right thing to do.
???: Doesn’t matter if it’s right or wrong. All that matters is that there is no hope in what you are doing. But don’t worry. You will learn. You’ve stepped out of your alley and into the world. I will introduce you to the cold pain of reality.
???: Hey! How about instead of triple teaming her, you all focus on me!?
Everyone looked back and up towards the sky. A rather large Pokemon was flying down towards the others with a little girl on it.
Bonnie: -excitedly chuckles- Heather! You’re here!
Heather: Well of course. I said I wanted to beat up the bad guys. But we can do this together now.
zEl: Isn’t that the daughter to the Beryl Ward Gym Leader and-
???: I know who she is. What I wanna know is why is she here?
Heather: I’m here to beat you bad guys up duh! And also to help out my friend here.
Bonnie: Yea! You all better watch out!
???: Reckless. The both of you. Weren’t you raised to be more responsible?
Heather: I don’t care! People always try to stop me from doing things all the time but their rules are totally stupid anyway!
???: Just because you do not udnerstand something does not make it “stupid.” That’s-
Heather: Ugh! Would you just shut up!? You sound like my dad! I’m here to beat you up! Not get lectured!
???: It seems you still have much to learn about the cold truth of reality young child. Taka? ZEL? Deal with Bonnie and protect the PULSE. Leave the girl to me.
Taka: Sure thing. I guess we’re battling again Bonnie.
zeL: I guess we have no choice… I’m sorry Bonnie but-
Zel: It’s payback time!
Bonnie: Even if the 2 of you team up, I won’t lose!
The battle started between the 3 of them. Despite Bonnie being by herself, she was able to hold her own and defeat the team of Taka and ZEL. Taka didn’t seem to care but ZEL seemed pissed off.
Taka: Well that’s not good.
Zel: We lost to her again?! Ugh!
zEl: Since the PULSE has been deactivated, there is no longer any purpose in defending this location.
Taka: If that’s the case, I’mma make myself scarce. You coming?
zeL: Umm… I-I guess so…
The 2 of them ran off into the jungle. Bonnie watched as they vanished from her sight just to make sure they wouldn’t try to ambush her from behind.
Bonnie: You need help Heather?!
Heather: I’m good but you did awesome Bonnie!
???: Tch. So they just run away. Crobat, return! -runs away-
Bonnie: Hey! Where you going!?
Heather: Salamence, return!
The 2 girls ran after the hooded Meteor member but didn’t have to run far. When they caught up to him, he was stopped by a couple of police officers and the Chief.
???: What?!
Police Chief: Sorry but there’s nowhere to run. You are completely surrounded.
???: Unbelievable! An ambush! Those grunts can’t do anything right. They were supposed to detain the city officers.
Police Chief: Ohh, but they did.
???: Huh? Then how-
Police Chief: Thanks to Bonnie, we were able to restore our force.
???: You?
Heather: You found all of the officers?
Bonnie: Yea. The Chief asked me to.
Heather: Wow. That’s pretty cool.
Bonnie: -chuckles- Thanks.
Pokemon Chief: Now let’s find out who you really are!
The Police Chief swiftly removed the hood. Everyone but Bonnie were shocked to see who it was. The person was wearing all purple. Even his hair was purple but it was sticking up. He kind of looked like Cain but more mean. Heather started tearing up.
Bonnie: Huh? Heather, what’s wrong?
Heather: That’s… That’s my… father…
???: You just had to do this in front of her didn’t you?
Bonnie: Wait. WHAT?!
Heather: I knew you were a jerk… But I didn’t think you were evil… I-I can’t…
Bonnie: It’s ok Heather. Just try to breathe slowly.
Heather: No! Salamence, get us out of here!
Out popped Salamence and she hopped onto it. It flew up into the sky and disappeared. Bonnie felt horrible for Heather but her father seemed somewhat relieved.
Bonnie: How… How could you do this?
???: For right now, this does not concern you. But still, this is easier if she isn’t here.
Police Chief: Corey, Leader of the Beryl Ward Gym right?
Bonnie: He’s a Gym Leader?!
Corey: As I said before, this does not concern you.
Police Chief: But I don’t understand. The Gym Leaders are among the Reborn’s most trusted citizens… Why help Team Meteor?
Corey: -chuckles- Never put too much stock in authority. Your eyes are opened for the 1st time right now aren’t they? Then welcome to reality. It’s cold. It’s cruel. It’s life.
Police Chief: You mean to tell me that there are others?
Corey: You’d be stupid to think otherwise. Not everything is so nice and simple. You’re just like the people in the slums. Your paradise-candyland is just a crack dream.
Police Chief: This is all shocking news. But those are some big words for someone who’s going to be facing the judge?
Corey: Are they? Honestly, you’ve done nothing here. All you’ve done is unmask a father before his daughter. You showed her what all girls eventually learn. And that’s pain.
Bonnie: Wow… She was right about you. You are really mean to your daughter. I can’t believe you.
Corey: Hmph. You shall learn it soon enough as well.
Bonnie: Wh-What do you mean?
Corey: You want to apprehend me? I’ll be waiting at my Gym.
A big ball of flashing light came from Corey’s jacket and blinded everyone. When everyone was able to see again, he was gone. Bonnie was scared as to what Corey could have meant to what he said to her.
Bonnie: He’s gone. What now?
Police Chief: It’s obviously a trap but… we know where he’s going. Let’s head out men!
Bonnie: Wait! What do I do?!
Police Chief: He seems to be waiting for you. I suggest you heal your Pokemon and then go meet him. You can lure him out and we can arrest him.
Bonnie: Well… alright. Sounds like a plan.
The policemen and chief left to go to Corey’s Gym. Bonnie went to the Pokemon Center in Beryl Ward to heal her Pokemon up. She felt bad for Heather for what she had to go through in her life with her dad. He did not seem like the nicest person to be around. But she knew she had to stop him before he did anything dangerous to other people.
