    Trucks were coming in by the hundreds it looked as prospective auctioneers and merchants drove truckloads of pokémon into Celadon City.  Most of them had sold pokémon stuff on the SS Anne cruise and each one was happier that no obvious dangers lurked at this event. After all, you can’t sink a city.
    The auction would take place mainly in Celadon Square and inside the pokécenter and Celadon City Mall.  The first wave of merchants set up their booths along the main road knowing people would have to pass by.  Among them was the Magikarp dealer from the SS Anne with a fresh supply of Magikarp.
    Merchants and auctioneers weren’t the only people entering the city.  Many Rocket agents were too.  But instead of looting and causing trouble, they were sweeping the roads and helping people set up.  Many Celadon residents were amazed when they saw how nice and human the Rockets were acting.
    “This sucks!  I can’t believe the boss is making us go through with this.  We should be terrorizing the city.  This is gonna give us Rockets a bad name.”
    “Quiet.  We have to do this.  Besides, we’ll get our chance. There’s gonna be tons of trainers here.  That’s a lot of pokémon just waiting to be stolen.  Now let’s get back to work.”
    Meanwhile, back at Giovanni’s secret underground base outside Celadon City, one of his top specialists entered the room.  “You have your orders.  Make sure they are carried out flawlessly.”
    “You can count on me sir.”  The specialist left the room.
    Giovanni turned his attention to a smaller agent by the door. “Make sure my suit is perfectly clean.  I want to look my best for tomorrow.”  The agent nodded and left.  “Ahh...  This is going to be the greatest scheme I’ve every concocted.  There’s nothing that can stop me now, fwahahaha...”  He sat back in his chair.
