A convoy of about ten cars were driving up the side of mount coronet at a slow pace. Sitting up front was a blue haired man in an odd uniform, it was the same as everyone else in the cars was wearing. The man was looking at the passing scenery. The road to get to their destination was long and bumpy, especially considering the agonisingly slow speed they were forced to drive at partly because of the road which was a dirt track and twisted and turned like there was no tomorrow but also because of the precious cargo on board.
The man's thoughts were occupied by their destination and what they were planning on doing once they were there. He was some what excited after all they had prepared for this for so long! But also now there was something else... He couldn't put his finger on it, he felt as if it might not be the right thing to do... He gave a glance at a passing village down bellow what if those people could be capable of greatness...
He was suddenly brought back into the real world by the car swerving and almost spinning off of the road. He reached into the back making sure that the cargo was ok. The car stopped as did the convoy. The cause? A large rock which the driver had carelessly driven over.
"Careful you moron! Or else you'll be kicked out!" Yelled Saturn. "And you know what that means!"
"Y... Ye... Yes... Sir!" Apologised the driver shakingly.
"Is the cargo ok?" Asked Mars stepping out of her car which was about fifth in the convoy.
"Yes thankfully..." Saturn pulled out the Lustrous orb and gazed at it. "Can you imagine what Cyrus would do to us if it got broken?"
"Please, I'd rather not... I've not had my breakfast yet..."
Saturn smiled. Truth be told his belly was rumbling and he was quite hungry they'd been on the road since yesterday and had only stopped to rest a few times. As such he was incredibly hungry and he'd hazard a guess his team mates were as well...
"Do we have enough food provisions to have breakfast without running out?" Asked Saturn.
"Yes probably." Replied Mars.
"Well then we'll stop here and eat."
"Sandwiches eh? Sure sounds good..." Said Jupiter.
Within moments everyone was eating peanut, butter and jelly sandwiches. Saturn wondered who on earth had made them but they were certainly good. It was a scene that you weren't likely to see twice all of team galactic stopped on a mountain and having a picnic fortunately nobody was around to see them. The only boy commander of team galactic was about half way through his second sandwich when his communicator went off telling him he had a call. Without thinking he answered with his mouth full.
"Saturn where are you? My scanners seem to say that you've stopped. Why?" Asked Cyrus.
"W' jus' need' a res' si'." Saturn couldn't talk, his mouth was full.
"What do you mean you've greeted a guest?"
"Uh... Needed a rest sir!" Said Saturn swallowing quickly.
"What exactly are you doing?"
"Uh... Eating breakfast."
Saturn was fearful of his boss's reaction. Cyrus was not known for his good humour especially when it came to the mission. Saturn was thus prepared for the harshness and aggressiveness of their leader.
"Listen to me! We are on the brink of the greatest thing that has ever happened to this world since it came into existence. We now have all three of the lake guardians and now all that is necessary is that you take the orbs and the red chain up to the sphere pillar and all will be well! Tell me Saturn, were does HAVING A PICNIC come into all of that?"
"Well we were awfully hungry sir, I mean... It's a long journey at this speed!"
"I don't care, if you're not there in a week! You will not be joining us! Do you understand me Saturn?"
"Yes, perfectly sir!"
"Good, now finish your breakfast then continue the mission."
"Yes sir..."
When Saturn turned off his communicator he was surprised to see that Mars was staring at him. She probably knew what he was about to say after all, she knew Cyrus as much as he did... He added up the amount of time left to get to their destination. A week would be pushing it but it was just about feasible, if only they were aloud to travel faster and use the bigger roads but they couldn't use big roads because they'd draw to much attention to themselves and these little roads were so small and bumpy that they couldn't travel to fast or they risked either damaging the orbs or plummeting down the cliff.
"Come on everyone let's finish quickly then get back on our way. We've got a long trip a head of us"
"Yes sir!" Was the instant reply from the galactic grunts.
Saturn watched as they all hurried back into their cars and prepared to drive along. Saturn got back into his, the driver still looked pretty terrified!
"Look on the bright side Saturn!" Mars called out. "At least we haven't encountered any problems yet!
Saturn smiled and nodded back before giving the order to head out but he was still troubled. He had just realised what he had been feeling before... Doubt...
...
A figure was watching the convoy from afar through binoculars. She watched as they headed off, her loyal Pokemon by her side. Cynthia stopped watching for a second.
"Team Galactic..." She said to herself. "What are you doing here?"
