Chapter 4 – Reconnaissance In Manectric's Base

"Chk, chk" went the gun as Squirtle cocked it. "Gotta prepare," he thought to himself. Major Blastoise had assigned him a truly dangerous mission—spying. And not just spying on anyone, spying on Manectric. Squirtle needed to get ready, for even he was scared of this tedious task(and he's not easily frightened).
