Chapter 3: Trouble at the Space Center. Part 1.
The sun was shining and not a single cloud could be seen in the sky, except a few thin patches of white in the sky here and there. The trees and other sorts of greenery rustled as the gentle breeze blew. Crowds of people interacted with each other in the streets. Wingulls and Pelippers cries could be heard as the flew above the houses and some of these bird Pokémon rested on top of roofs of different buildings. From a common ramen shop stumbled out two teenagers, clenching their own stomachs.
"Wow, that was some really good ramen." The female from the group of two said. "I don't think I can eat anything after that."
"Well, you did have like five bowls." The boy responded.
"Four." corrected the girl. "It's not my fault, the cruise I took to come here had a really crappy breakfast buffet." The girl paused "Besides, a growing girl needs to eat."
"Now where have I heard that excuse before?" Brendan said plainly, Dawn giggled at his semi-sarcastic tone.
"Hey, whats that?" Dawn changing the subject, pointing to a huge structure built on top a of a large hill.
"That's.." Brendan began, clearing his throat "That's the space center. It's purpose is to find out research from outer space."
"Oh, that's pretty neat." Dawn said. "Have you ever been there?"
"Yup, loads of time" Brendan said smiling. "Steven and I once beat the Team Magma leader and his Admin, this was the first time we battled side by side."
"Team Magma?" Dawn asked, not aware of what Brendan was talking about. Brendan looked back at Dawn's face, she stared at him with her shining blue eyes. His heart started raising and he continued stare into her eyes. Dawn also stared into his dark-ruby eyes, 'Wow, he has such beautiful pair of eyes.' She thought dreamily and she couldn't help to smile. 'Wait, what am I thinking? I just met the guy today.' She blushed at the thought and got out of her daze, "What is this, Team Magma?" She asked again, looking at the ground, still blushing, she tried to avoid eye contact with him, she didn't want to make the situation awkward. The question also took Brendan out of his daze, he pretending as if nothing happen continued to answer her question, even though he felt really stupid at the point.
"Team Magma" He started "Were a pair of lunatics, from what I can say. They said that they were an evil organization, their main motive was to evaporate all the sea water making the world's surface 100 percent land by causing droughts." Dawn was shocked at what she just heard.
"That's insane!" She said with her eyes wide open.
"Along with them, there was also a rival team, Team Aqua, they wanted to make the earth's surface 100 percent water by causing flood and heavy rains." Brendan paused, than suddenly smiled, "Pretty stupid plans right, they're just impossible to pull off." Dawn laughed
"Yeah, like haven't they ever learned what the water cycle is?" Dawn said between laughs.
"I know right" Brendan said laughing as well, than both started laughing out loud in the middle of the street, catching the attention of the nearby pedestrians.
Suddenly Brendan noticed that Dawn stopped laughing and was staring at something behind him, her smile was gone. You could see from her eyes that shocked but you could also she that she was very scared as well.
"What's.. wrong?" Brendan asked while panting. Dawn didn't reply, she still looked very scared. Brendan turned around himself to see what had caught her attention. He saw two men who were conversing, they were dressed in some sort of uniform that resembled space suits and they both had green hair with a bowl haircut. Brendan thought they looked very funny, "Since when was the circus in town?" he said sarcastically, he thought that from the distance the guys resembled clowns. Suddenly Dawn grabbed Brendan by the arm and started running towards some bushes to take cover. They both crouched behind some bushes. Brendan's hat was slipping of his head. "Hey, what was that for? You could give a little warning before hand?" Brendan said out load, Dawn trying to hush him.
"Shh, you don't understand, those are Team Galactic Grunts?" Dawn said to him
"Team Galactic?" Brendan asked. "Are they like Aqua and Magma?"
"Yea Pretty much." Dawn said, she started looking at the two men from behind the bushes. Brendan too sat beside her looking at the grunts "I thought these guys were gone for good, what are they doing here? They're probably up to no good." The two men started walking in the direction of the space center.
"Oh no, they're headed for the space center." Brendan pointed out the obvious.
"Makes sense, the word Galactic has relation with space, so they might be up to something" Said Dawn "What could they're plan be?" Brendan stood up, fixing his hat. He looked towards dawn, smiling.
"Want to find out?" He said still smiling.
"Huh?" Dawn said confused. "You want to intercept their plans?"
"Sure, i mean, why not? It's been a while since i got see some action." He said as he offered his hand to dawn to help her up. As she extended her had, she felt her heart started to raise, firstly she was impressed at his courage when he said he wanted to intercept Team galactic plans at the Space center, than she was also impressed at him being such a gentlemen, first offering her lunch, now helping her up. When their hands met she couldn't help but to blush, she tried to hide her blush by looking away. Which was not working, as soon as she stood up, she started to run in the direction of the space center.
"Come on slowpoke." She yelled as she ran. "Do you want to miss all the action?" She said laughing, Brendan too laughed behind her, soon caught up to her and both trainers ran side by side towards the space center.
The two Galactic grunts make their way up the stairs leading to space center. At the entrance to the Space Center the meet up with another grunt.
"You two!" The grunt at the entrance called out to them.
"Yes sir." the two said in unison.
"Get off you lazy butts and do something useful." He said rather angry. "Stand here and make sure no one gets in, I'm going in to help the Admin." Than he went into the space center and the two grunts take their positions.
Meanwhile, not so far away from them, they were being watched by two pairs of eyes from the bushes.
"Uff! Arg!" Brendan grunted.
"Can't you stay quiet, do you want them to hear us?" Dawn complained. "Whats wrong?" She asked a little irritated.
"I'm stuck." Brendan whispered, trying his best to pull his foot out of the dense bushes. With enough force he was able to get his foot out but he lost his balance bumped into Dawn causing himself to fall on top of her.
"Get off me." She shirked trying her best not to scream, luckily the grunts didn't hear her. She pushed Brendan off her, and he fell down on his back.
"Ehh.. Sorry" He muttered, rubbing his head while getting up. He went and sat down beside Dawn, who was observing the Space Center, possibly trying to find a way in. "so, got any ideas?" He asked. Dawn held up a Pokeball, pressed the button in the middle enlarging it.
"Yup." was all she said. Brendan was confused not sure where she was going with this, he just nodded in agreement.
The two guard stood at the entrance of the Space center, their job was simple, not let anyone in.
"Hey, what's that?" One of them said, alerting the other one. It appeared something as if something small and brown was hopping towards them, from the distance they couldn't tell what it was, as it got closer the grunts identified the Pokémon as Buneary, the Rabbit Pokémon.
"Bun, bun, bun." The Pokémon said with each hop. The Pokémon stopped in front of the two grunts.
"Hey, where did you come from little guy?" One of them asked the Pokémon.
"What is a Buneary doing all the way here in the Hoenn Region?" The other said.
"Lets take it!" The two looked at each other. This gave Buneary a chance and it let out a 'Sing' attack which made both the grunts falls asleep instantly.
"Good job Buneary, now return." Dawn came up jogging to her Pokémon, returning her to her Pokeball. "Now Brendan I've made the opening, now let's.. Brendan?" Dawn looked back to her 'companion' was not behind her. Suddenly something fell out of a nearby tree, none the less, it was Brendan. "What the hell were you doing on that tree? We don't have time for this, get serious." She placed her arms on her hips. Brendan sat up looking down, obviously, he was embarrassed.
"Sorry, I saw a shiny wingull up there." He muttered. "I wanted to catch it." Dawn walked up to him and crouched in front of him. She stared at his face. Brendan felt his face get hot. 'what is she doing?' He thought. She raised her hand, Brendan, unaware of what she was doing, did not retaliated. She put her hand on top of his head and then quickly removed it as if she plucked something from top oh his head. which she did.
"You had a twig on your hat." She said plainly, snapped the twig in two, disposed of it and started walking towards the entrance. Brendan did an anime-style fall. While Brendan just laid there, Dawn impatiently tapped her foot in front of the entrance. "so are you coming or not?" Brendan looked at the impatient girl in front of him and immediately got up.
"Lets go, I'm ready" He said in a completely confident mood. "Time to kick some Galactic butt!" He said, than he smacked his forehead, "Oh Arceus, that was so bad." Dawn giggled
"Let's go, hotshot." She said and both trainers made their way into the building.
