Shaun was walking in Castelia City, near his Mother's lab, when an explosion went off there. He quickly turned, looking at the building and the smoke billowing from it, before dashing in. He could see the reception area was a mess, with her workers and visitors running towards the exits, but he pushed further, smoke coming from the stairs.
"Wait... there aren't any lower floors..." He said as he dashed toward them, to see a pure white staircase leading down, instead of the normal, golden staircase going up. He ran down the stairs, pulling out a pokeball, and let out his Gothorita. The pair finally reached the bottom to find a multitude of uniformed men blocking the entrance.
One of them saw him and began to panic. He raised his wrist and pressed a button. "Sir, the son, he's here. Yes, Okay." The man had a conversation while talking. He then looked up. "Get the kid out of here, now." He said, and the men began marching toward him, until another large explosion occurred. This time though, it was made of pure psychic energy. Gothorita sensed this, and shielded Shaun from the blast, using her own psychic power. All the men, when hit, were on their knees, screeching in pain. When the blast was gone, the building crumbled, but Gothorita held the shield up,but was still buried under the rubble. While Shaun was still shielded from the blast, he was still knocked out from the power of it. The pokemon got one of Shaun's pokemon, his Eevee, and let it out. She ordered it to get out and find Shaun's friends, and it ran outside the barrier, finding it's way throughout the rubble.
As rescuers came, the only person in the bottom floors they found was Shaun, being protected by his Gothorita. There was no evidence of anybody else except for him inside the bottom floors. However, found security footage showed the place bustling with people before the explosion, and when the camera went out, they could still see many people.

Eevee ran on the route to Kaysi, and didn't stop until he was right there. He ran up to her and began hitting her with his head, getting her attention. He looked up and saw the Zorua. "Help! Shaun's in trouble, something happened in Castelia! Get her attention!"
