Chapter 12
Team Pirate?
"A guy in a pirate suit? I didn't know there were still pirates around." Ash pondered to himself.
"Me either. Anyways, these papers are apparently really important otherwise the pirate wouldn't have stolen them and the guy in the green suit wouldn't have freaked out. So we have to get them back." I said, man I talk too much.
"I bet he went in this cave up ahead." Ash pointed to a cave.
"You're probably right. What kind of pokémon do you think this pirate will have?" I asked. "Water would be a good guess, I mean pirates sail the seas last time I checked." He pondered again.
"When's the last time you checked?" I asked.
"Can't remember." He scratched his head and grinned. Outside of the cave was an old man who looked uneasy about something.
"Please be alright Peeko…" I heard him whimper.
"Excuse me sir, but is something the matter?" Ash asked him concerned.
"Yes, a pirate stole my Wingull and ran into this cave." He explained. He looked like he was gonna have a heart-attack, or close to it.
"Don't worry, we'll get your Wingull back." I said confidently.
"Oh thank you so much!" he bowed in gratitude.
"Come on May, let's go." Ash led the way into the cave.
"It's really murky in here and smell isn't too great either." I commented.
"Stupid bird…" we heard someone mutter.
"Did you hear that?" Ash turned to me. I nodded and we kept moving.
"There's the pirate! He doesn't look like a real pirate. Where's his peg-leg?" I asked.
"Yeah and his eye-patch. You think he stole the Wingull because he wanted a parrot?" he asked me and I shrugged.
"What are you kiddies doing in here?" he asked in a deep voice.
"You stole something very valuable. Now hand it over!" Ash ordered as Pikachu jumped off his shoulder and made sparks fly from his cheeks.
"You think I'm going to let a little kid and his Pikachu order me around? Hmph! Go Poochyena!" he released a grey puppy.
"Mischievous mutts…" I muttered under my breath.
"Go Pikachu! Use quick attack!" Ash commanded.
"Poochyena, dodge it and use tackle!" the pirate guy said. Pikachu dashed towards the canine with blinding speed and rammed into Poochyena, who was unable to dodge.
"Pooch!" it ran into a nearby rock.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Ash said.
"Pika-chu!" electrical currents shot in and out of Pikachu's body as it struck Poochyena.
"Poochyena! Use tackle!" The pirate said again as the dog ran into Pikachu.
"Pika!" it cried sliding across the ground.
"Finish this with another quick attack." In a matter of seconds, Pikachu ran across the ground and rammed into Poochyena once more. It landed with a thud and appeared unconscious. It was then that I spotted the Wingull up high above the ground, obviously scared of the pirate.
"You get the papers, and I'll get Wingull." I said to Ash and he nodded in response.
"Take the stupid papers, and the bird. They're useless to me anyway." The pirate threw the papers and made a run for the exit after returning his fallen Poochyena.
"Great! We got the papers. Good battle Pikachu!" Ash congratulated him.
"Pika, pika!" it said rejoining him on his shoulder.
In the meanwhile, I was having some trouble getting Wingull down.
"Come on, don't be scared. We're here to take you back to your trainer. So come down please." I tried to reason with it, but I guess it was too scared.
'Darn…' I started to climb up the rocky part of the wall in order to reach it. "You know…you're making me go through a lot of trouble…right?" I was sort of struggling to get up there but I finally made it.
"Okay, will you come down now?" I smiled. It looked at me uneasily but finally chirped happily.
"Wingull!" Then it had the nerve to fly down to the ground leaving me up there.
"Why you little…" I had to struggle again to get back down.
"Stupid Wingull…making me climb all the way up there…just so it could fly down." I muttered to myself. I landed on the ground in front of Ash, who was looking at me weirdly.
"Why'd you climb up there May?" he asked.
"The Wingull was up there, and it wasn't coming down. When I got up there, it just flew down. I think it did it on purpose." I glared at it. It just chirped and perched itself on my shoulder the way Torchic does.
"Well, I got the papers and you got the Wingull, so let's go." Ash led the way out of the cave.
"So, I don't think we was a pirate, do you?" I asked.
"No he was from Team Aqua." Ash explained.
"Team Aqua? What's that?" I asked petting the Wingull.
"How should I know? He just said he was from Team Aqua and then he ran." We made it outside as I was pummeled by an overly excited old man.
"Peeko, my darling! You're all right! I was so worried." He hugged it.
"Wing-gull…" it hugged back. "Ow…" I rubbed my bottom.
"Oh…sorry lassie. Thank you both for saving my Peeko. My name is Mr. Briney. I live just outside of Petalburg City. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask. Goodbye kids!" he waved as he walked back toward the city.
"Bye Mr. Briney!" we both shouted.
"Now all we have to do is get these papers back to the guy in the green suit." Ash said. We walked back into to town and I spotted the guy in the green suit looking very pale in the face.
"Um, mister? We got your papers back." I tapped him on the shoulder and he jumped.
"What! Oh! Thank you so much! You don't know what this means to me! I have to reward you, please come with me!" he dragged us to the Devon corp. building.
"Yes! We get to see the inside." Ash said, he was obviously happy about his chance to get inside.
"You have to meet the president so he can thank you for your help." He pushed us in his office.
"Okay?" I said scratching my head.
"You must be the trainers that retrieved my very important documents." He said. We nodded. He was an aged man with whitish and silverish hair. "My name is Devon Stone. Please call me Mr. Stone. Let me show me gratitude by rewarding you both with state of the art pokénavigators, PokéNav for short." He pulled with mechanical looking hand-held things.
"Thank you Mr. Stone." Ash said taking his.
"Thanks a lot." I took mine too. It was red with white stripes on it and his was blue with black stripes.
"Hey! It matches!" I pointed out.
"Not only does it match but there's map installed and also a match call, which allows you to call anyone anywhere as long as their number is installed in there." He explained.
"Cool." We smiled at each other.
"So, where are you headed?" he asked.
"We were going to challenge the gym leader tomorrow and then head to wherever the next gym is." Ash explained.
"The next gym is on Dewford Island. If you're going there would you mind delivering a package to someone named Steven?" he asked.
"Sure, no problem." I said.
"Very good. Here you go. Thank you again and good luck with your gym battle, I'll see you kids later." He said with a smile.
"Thanks for the PokéNav Mr. Stone! Bye!" we waved walking out of his office. We made it outside with smiles on our faces.
"This is so cool. A PokéNav just for us." I said happily.
"Yeah, these are pretty cool huh?" Ash said.
"It's getting late. Where do you want to eat?" he asked.
"I don't know. Do you want to eat out?" I asked.
"Sure. I'll use my PokéNav to see where the closest restaurant is." He said proudly.
"There! Just down this street. Let's go, I'm starving!" He rubbed his stomach.
"Me too. That little lunch wasn't enough for me." I smiled walking next to him. This white light come from my belt and out popped my Torchic.
"It gets kind of boring in there you know." I looked at her, surprised.
"You can't just pop out whenever you want to you know." I said.
"Uh, I just did. So what's up?" she jumped onto my shoulder.
"We're going out to eat." I explained.
"A date?" she looked at me slyly.
"No, not a date. We're going to a restaurant." I said.
"Where dates happen?" she asked again.
"How do you know all this? You're still pretty young." I asked.
"I'm smart for my age. Plus I've heard some things that I should've and I'm not repeating it either. Thy ears are too young." She laughed.
"Whatever. Ash and I are not on a date. We're just hungry, which shouldn't be that much of a surprise." She rolled her eyes.
"…and it isn't…" I sighed.
"Plus we're tired of the pokémon center food anyway. So we're eating out. Oh! Look at what the president of the Devon corp. gave us!" I pulled out my new PokéNav.
"Oh! Pretty! What is it?" she asked, pecking it.
"Stop! It's a PokéNav. It's totally cool." I said beaming.
"Awesome." I returned Torchic as soon as we reached the restaurant but not before she said 'Have fun on your date.' And she emphasized date.
We sat at a booth by the window and looked at the menu.
"So…you're from Pallet Town right?" I asked starting a conversation.
"Yep." He answered.
"What's it like there?" I asked curiously.
"It's really small and quiet. Not at a lot happens there." He explained.
"Oh, did you have many friends?" I'm so curious.
"Yeah I guess. I had one friend but he became my rival after we started our journeys." He said.
"Rival? Why?" Maybe I'm nosy.
"I don't know. I final beat him at the silver conference though." He smiled.
"That's good. So what are you getting?" I asked.
"Probably a cheeseburger and some fries. What about you?" I pondered before asking.
"Noodles and eggrolls." I answered. "I love ramen! It's the best." I said smiling.
"I almost forgot!" He jumped across the table and gave Pikachu the ketchup bottle.
"Here you go buddy." I looked at him curiously.
"Pikachu loves ketchup." He scratched his head. I smiled at the scene.
"Is Pikachu your first pokémon?" I asked.
"Yep. We've been together ever since the beginning. At first it was a little bumpy but we worked things out because we never stopped believing in each other." he scratched him between the ears.
"That's really nice Ash. I hope Torchic and I will have a relationship like that one day." I said looking down at my belt.
"I'm sure you will May." He smiled at me and I smiled back. I guess I have to get used to his smile.
Later…
"Thanks for paying Ash." I said as we walked down the dimly lit streets of Rustboro.
"No problem May." He smiled.
"It's late. We better go to the pokémon center, don't you think so?" I asked.
"Yeah. I'll race you." He challenged me.
"Oh, I don't plan on losing." I said smirking.
"Neither do I. Ready…Set…Go!" we both took off for the pokémon center and lightning speed. Okay so I'm exaggerating a bit. We reached the pokémon center at the same time, both tired and panting.
"Tie." He said pushing open to door let me go first.
"Thanks." I led the way to our two-bed bedroom with a TV.
"I'm going to go to bed May. See you in the morning. Goodnight." He laid down.
"Goodnight Ash." I said lying on my bed turning on the TV. There was a prerecorded show on that looked interesting.
"Pokémon contest? What's this?" Two white lights appeared and out came my two pokémon.
"What is with you guys and letting yourselves out?" I asked surprised.
"What are you watching, May?" Wurmple asked me.
"It's a pokémon contest. Pretty cool huh?" I said.
"I'll say! That's so awesome. How do you play?" Torchic jumped up and down.
"I don't know, but it does look like fun." I said.
"Can I play?" Wurmple asked.
"I don't see why not. Let's get more information on it, okay guys?" they nodded and kept watching.
"This is a pokémon contest where coordinators from all over compete to win ribbons. They use their pokémon's abilities to soar through rounds and win. If you collect five ribbons you are eligible to enter the Grande Festival." The announcer said.
"Grande Festival? That sounds cool." I said.
"A coordinator huh? Hmm? What do you guys think? Should I be a coordinator?" they looked at each other then looked back at me.
"Yeah, yeah! You should be a coordinator!" they shouted.
"Then it's settled. We're going to enter a pokémon contest!" I shouted.
"Okay, it's bedtime. Goodnight you guys." I got under the covers and closed my eyes with a new thought on my mind.
Kris: So May's gonna be a coordinator.
AJ: I don't feel so good…
Mikey: The pirate was from team aqua! GRRR!
Ash: Did we go out on a date?
Kris: No, of course not. (Yes)
Ash: I saw that! Are we together in this story?
