You’re currently trying to find your partner Pikachu and get out of Silph Co as soon as possible. Just today a whole swarm of Team Rocket grunts have raided the building. You had lost her in the ensuing chaos and were now hiding in your lab trying your best to find her on the security cameras. You tried calling the police or anyone for help, but sadly they were smart and fried most of the buildings communications system. Not only that but with so many guards, you couldn’t just fight or sneak your way out. As you continued looking, a Team Rocket member busts in and attempts to hold you hostage. Just before they could lay a hand on you, they were struck by thousands of volts of electricity. The grunt fell to the ground and revealed Pikachu, standing in a triumphant pose before immediately falling face first onto the ground landing with a THUD.

Pikachu: Dear Arceus, you pant. Wouldn’t believe, pant. How much fighting I had to do… to save your butt. Pant. Man, look at all those stars.

She was lying face down on the floor and was fatigued from all the running and fighting she’s done just to find you. You drag her into the lab and place her on a seat. Pikachu was way too tired to fight and you were too high up in the tower to just jump out the window. You ponder next to Pikachu while you try to figure out your next move.
