Luther looked up towards the sun, then down at the now frozen Sneasel. Something clicked within that nearly empty skull of his, and everything suddenly made sense.
"Well, then. I guess a direct assault won't work," he said with a smirk. But what will?
Raising his right hand to his chin, Luther assumed a thinking position. Thoughts of a sentient waffle riding a pink pony were soon erased, as Luther began to brainstorm. Missingno was ranting something about bonds...am I just pulling at straws? Or am I onto something?

Dragonite dove straight down for several miles, before coming to a sudden stop in a large chamber. Sabrina dizzily hopped off, and wobbled around for a few moments before regaining her senses. Her Alakazam seemed to fair better, managing to keep its orientation in tact.
Sabrina sighed, and turned to face Dragonite. "You just love smashing through ceilings, don't you? Honestly, didn't Luther ever teach you-" she cut herself off when she noticed the bodies. There were about a dozen of them, unconscious and strewn about the room like dolls. Lining the walls were a series of non-functional computer systems, each one stamped with a distinct red "R". Sabrina chuckled at the thought of Team Rocket labeling everything they own with their logo. I wonder if their pokemon have labels, too..? She thought to herself.
She silenced herself, as her weariness grew. This room was definitely the source of the rift she felt earlier. "No, it's not just this room... It's almost as if the entire cavern is resonating. Alakazam, can you feel this?"
Her pokemon nodded, to which she replied "Then there has to be a fault line somewhere, a breach in the dimensional rift. Something tells me Luther's there." And with my luck, he's the cause of all this!
As Sabrina and Alakazam began to search the chamber, Dragonite merely scratched its head. It didn't understand a word of what Sabrina just said.
