Chapter 2 ==Team Flygon==

After the group had eaten their hotdogs (And ketchup) they decided to walk around the city about before staying somewhere for the night, to see if they could find anything interesting.

They started by walking away from the crowded square where they had eaten and tried to find somewhere a little quieter.

10 minutes later

"Where are we going?" Ash complained, "We're just walking round in circles and plus, we're lost,"

They group hadn't managed to find anywhere remotely quiet yet and they had just managed to get lost in the numerous streets of Mauville City. Everyone, including Ash, was getting restless.

"Hey wait Brock," Max called out to Brock who was leading the group, "There's a signpost up ahead; it may tell us where we are."

"Hhmmm…" Murmured Brock to himself, "This way leads back to the centre and this way…" He trailed off as he noticed something peculiar in the distance.

"Hey! What is that?" May had noticed it as well and she was pointing up at the sky.

"It looks like a big cloud but it's moving fast. I know, Swellow, help us out here!"

Ash threw a pokeball which had been attached to his belt around his waist. A large blue bird pokemon appeared, looking happy to be out of its pokeball. It held its body proudly, it's mainly red face shining in the sun and it's well preened white belly looking glossy.

"Hey Swellow," Ash called, "Can you go and investigate that cloud-like-thing in the sky other there?"

"Swell, Swellow" Was the reply, shortly followed by Swellow taking off.

It flew magnificently in the air, weaving and turning, rapidly approaching the cloud which was starting to form into a group of pokemon with riders on their backs.

"Hey!" Ash said, "That looks like a group of pokemon!"

"That's strange," May replied, "Look Out! They're heading straight for us!"

"Pika, Pi!" Pikachu cried as he too noticed the pokemon.

"Hey Brock, do you have any clue what they are?" Max asked looking slightly scared.

"The pokemon look green, that's all I can see."

"Swellow!" Ash called out as his bird pokemon was hit by some sort of light beam and fell to the ground but quickly flew up again.

"Swell! Swellow!" It cried as it fully saw what was approaching and tried to fly away as quickly as it could.

"Ash, Swellow looks like it's in trouble!" May called.

"Swellow! Return!" Ash shouted out as a red light shot out of his pokeball and engulfed Swellow just in time as the group of pokemon fired beams at the spot where Swellow had been moments before.

Now it was becoming clear that the pokemon were a group of flygons all with riders clothed in black with helmets on their heads which had light green visors. There was a green "F" on the front and back of their shirts which looked luminous in the bright light of the sun.

Now they came closer to the gang and one of the men on his flygon, who appeared to be the leader, went to the front of the group and pushed his visor down so that the group could only see his eyes, which were dark black and menacing.

"Ash Ketchum?" He said in a deep voice which crackled a little as he spoke.

"Yes" Came the reply, "Who are you?" He asked,

"And what do you want?" Demanded May.

"We are Team Flygon, and we want information,"

"Information about what?" Ash asked

"I heard that there is going to be a large Pokemon competition tomorrow in Mauville City which has attracted lots of top quality trainers, including yourself."

Ash was worried about the amount of information they knew.

"We are going to sabotage this event and steal all of the pokemon there."

"W-what?" May stammered looking horrified, "That's awful and what do you need us for?"

"We need to get into the tournament without attracting attention and there is high security in place."

"Well that's true," Max thought to himself, "Ash was sent special ID cards for him and three guests in the post four days ago."

"Why should we help you?" Ash said to the sinister man.

"Yeah," May backed him up, "You're trying to steal lots of pokemon. We should report you to the police!"

"You haven't got a choice." The man on flygons back smiled to himself, "Flygon! Sandstorm!"

Sand was whipped up in the air and circled around the flygon, whose eyes which were covered by thick red lenses which blocked out the sand. All of the other flygon were doing the same thing and the sand storm spread and surrounded Ash, May, Brock, Max and Pikachu.

"Ahhh! I can't see!" Ash shouted as he struggled to reach for one of his pokeballs.

"Now!" The apparent leader of Team Flygon called, his visor back covering his eyes to protect them from the sand storm.

"Take them!"
