After being in Team Plasma for 2 years now, you had finally been sent on a mission. The mission? Liberate pokemon from trainers all around Castelia City. You had tagged along with 3 other Grunts and one of the Seven Sages; Bronius. Everything had been going smoothly, you took a pokemon, another grunt took a pokemon, and then another pokemon.. it was so exciting to see those poor enslaved creatures finally set free even if they did look sad..yet you didn't understand why you locked them away in the building's hideout.

Everything was going smoothly..until one guy in the group took some girl's Litwick. This caused a group of people to find the hideout, those people being: the Castelia City Gym Leader, Burgh, a girl named Iris, a girl named White, and some extremely loud boy named Black. This caused Bronius to get upset at the grunt who took the Litwick, causing you and another grunt to hide out of fear of getting in trouble..but in reality you kinda just didn't want to go back to the castle. After Bronius and the 2 male grunts disappeared, the group of people left and freed the pokemon you and your group had worked so hard to "liberate".

As you came out of hiding and sat on the ledge of the tall building, you looked at the Castelia City Gym that was right next door, the pretty green lights hitting your eyes. After feeling a presence sit down next to you, you looked over to see the girl whom you were hiding with sitting there..she seemed upset.

"We worked so hard to liberate those pokemon..and now they're all back under human rule. I don't understand..why did Bronius of the Seven Sages just..stand there? Why didn't any of them do anything?" The Grunt asked as she looked down at the street below, watching trainers walk into and come out of cafés, work buildings, restaurants, and shops. All of them had a pokemon partner with them who seemed..happy..?
