Scene 1: Arrival at Cerulean City
Ash Aryan and Liana finally reach Cerulean City. Unlike Pewter, Cerulean feels alive—busy streets, sparkling rivers, and the famous Cerulean Gym shaped like a massive water dome.
But underneath all the beauty... there's tension. Police patrols are everywhere, and posters show missing trainers.
Liana (whispering):"This city's hiding something. Big time."
Ash checks his System again:
[QUEST UPDATE]Find the Genesis Core hidden beneath Cerulean.
Scene 2: Challenge at the Cerulean Gym
Ash enters the Cerulean Gym, facing off against the Gym Leader: Misty. But Misty's different—her eyes cold, her attitude strange.
Misty (flatly):"State your business, challenger."
Ash Aryan (frowning):"I'm here for a badge... but something tells me that's not all."
Without waiting, Misty throws a Poké Ball. A Shadow Starmie appears, its jewel cracked and leaking dark energy.
[DANGER: CORRUPTED GYM BATTLE]
Ash counters with Pikachu.
Ash Aryan:"Pikachu, stay sharp! This isn't normal!"
The battle is fierce. Misty's commands are mechanical, like she's under someone's control. Shadow Starmie's moves are brutal and erratic, causing even the audience to back away.
Pikachu, using Quick Attack and Thunderbolt, finally breaks through Starmie's defenses and wins the battle.
Scene 3: The Underground Entrance
After Misty falls to her knees, she briefly regains her senses.
Misty (weakly):"Below... below the gym... they're... experimenting..."
Ash and Liana find a hidden door under the battlefield, leading into the old city tunnels.
A plaque reads:
"GENESIS RESEARCH FACILITY – CLASSIFIED"
Scene 4: Into the Depths
Descending into the underground lab, they find abandoned halls filled with broken pods, cracked machinery, and old blueprints about System Integration with Pokémon DNA.
Suddenly, the ground shakes.
Liana (wide-eyed):"Something's still alive down here."
At the far end of the lab, a huge containment chamber bursts open—and out steps a Shadow Machamp, bigger and more mutated than anything they've seen.
Behind it appears the cloaked figure from before—the Shadow Commander.
Shadow Commander (grinning):"Welcome to your true beginning, Ash Aryan."
Scene 5: Cliffhanger Showdown
Ash steps forward, Pikachu and Bulbasaur at his side, eyes blazing.
Ash Aryan:"If this is my beginning... then get ready for your end."
[BOSS BATTLE INITIATED: SHADOW COMMANDER]Victory Reward: Access to Genesis Core and Advanced System Mode
The chamber crackles with tension as the true battle begins.
