{{ | Somewhere in the [[Team Galactic HQ|Galactic Headquarters]], {{adv|Diamond}} along with his Pokémon lie in wait in a hallway as a {{tc|Team Galactic Grunt}} walks down the adjacent corrider. Whispering some encouragement to [[Lax]], the three of them spill {{Berries}} along the floor, causing the Grunt to slip and be knocked unconscious, allowing Diamond to steal his outfit for a disguise. | ||
He withdraws his Pokémon and quietly slips into a procession of Grunts heading down the hallway, noting that the Grunts seem to be paying no attention to eachother. He begins to nervously sweat as he reminds himself of his goal to find where the [[Lake guardians (Adventures)|Legendary lake Pokémon]] are being held. | |||
Elsewhere, {{adv|Platinum}} is riding her {{TP|Platinum|Rapidash}} towards [[Veilstone City]] as she thinks back on the conversation she had with [[Volkner]], [[Maylene]], and [[Candice]] after having earned the {{Badge|Beacon}}. She says her goodbyes to the [[Gym Leader]]s and promises to face off against [[Team Galactic]] together if they meet up again. | |||
Back in the present, Platinum arrives at Veilstone city, in awe at the fight happening out in front of the Headquarters between the Unown and the Grunts. While she sneaks into the building with {{TP|Platinum|Lopunny}}, Diamond finds himself torn as the Grunts he was trailing are splitting off into three different groups. | |||
As he considers whether to go to the training room, the planning room, or the elevator, he notices other Grunts staring at him, apparently having picked up on his indecisiveness. As they approach him, he backpedals onto a warp panel, leaving him confused as to how he ended up in the Galactic Warehouse. He quickly ascertains their function, and consults his Pokémon on how to proceed next, worried he could teleport into a room full of Grunts in an attempt to find the Lake guardians faster. | |||
He decides to proceed without thinking, stepping onto the next warp panel he finds, leaving him face-to-face with [[Chatler]], who briefly attacks Diamond before recognizing him through his disguise. Now that [[Kit]] and [[Tru]] are safely delivered back to Diamond, he begins to speak to them before being interrupted by the [[Advanced level Grunt]]. | |||
The Grunt tells Diamond that the Legendary Pokémon are being held in the experiment lab just behind him, and engages Diamond in battle to prevent him from disturbing the sleeping Pokémon. He strikes with {{m|Uproar}}, {{m|Dragon Rush}}, and {{m|Brave Bird}} all in sequence, leaving Diamond's team wounded. | |||
He explains that they've already succeeded in creating a [[Red Chain]] by extracting a crystal from the three Legendaries, but they need two total, and must let them rest before trying to extract more crystal from them. Diamond admins he has no idea what the Red Chains are for, but promises to stop them anyways to prevent the Lake guardians from suffering any further. | |||
As the Grunt wonders what Diamond can do by himself, since his Pokémon are already worn out, Diamond picks up on a faint beeping sound, recognizing it as the beeping the three Pokédexes make when they're all nearby. Immediately his spirit is lifted, knowing he isn't alone and {{adv|Pearl}} and Platinum must be nearby. The Grunt takes sight of the Pokédex, recognizing it as a device he's been wanting to acquire. | |||
