Celadon City was packed. Merchants
and trainers were flooding the city. As they gathered in the main square,
a dark figure approached the podium. He was followed by two other dark
figure dressed in black with big red ‘R’s on their shirts. The crowd
gasped as they saw who it was.
Giovanni stepped up to the microphone. He looked at
the large crowd from behind a bulletproof glass wall. His agents took
their places at his sides. He cleared his throat.
“Welcome, everyone! It is my great pleasure to welcome
all of you to the 1999 Celadon City Pokémon Auction.” The crowd cheered.
“My name is Giovanni, President of Team Rocket. I have spent many
millions to make this event a reality for all of you. The main auctions
will be held right here, in Celadon Square. There will also be merchants
selling various pokémon products. I hope you all have an excellent time
and feel free of ask any of my associates for help or info about Team Rocket.
And now, I turn the program over to the mayor of Celadon City.” More
cheering.
The mayor walked to the podium while Giovanni whispered
something to his agents. “As mayor of Celadon City, it gives me great
honor to declare the Pokémon Auction, officially begun!” The crowd
cheered again. Giovanni and his agents had slipped away during the mayor’s
short speech. The mayor was signing autographs and handing out ‘Vote for me’
buttons. It was a perfect sunny day and the first pokémon to hit the
auction table was an Ivysaur, donated by the Celadon City Gym. Trainers
had already begun placing their bids.
