Chapter 4: battle at the valley wind works
Josh:
The stranger who approached had an umbreon and an eevee, who was on the umbreons back, the stranger himself was about the same height as me had longer blonde hair and a beard just as blonde as the hair on his head. He wore a blue hoodie and jeans with a bag on his back and just like me he wore glasses. He asked "hey, the names Tank and I wanted to know if you knew those guys from Team Galactric" I didn't and that was the first time hearing the name of the group they belonged to. He continued "not too long ago the group was on the verge of being disbanded and they've been acting weird since" this could only mean they are up to no good if they're sneaking around.
I said I'm on my way to find out if they're up to something, they were considering using fossil fuels for something but I don't know for what" Tank looked at Umbreon who nodded as Eevee placed paws over his eyes playfully. Tank said "then we both should head over, the more of us the more they can't hide their intentions" I couldn't agree more as he seemed to know what had to be done for effective results.
We made our way past Jubilife City and up Route 204 into Floaroma Town. There were afew small buildings but there was mostly a forest and an open meadow filled with colourful and beautiful flowers that filled the air with a pleasant fragrance that you could only smell in this town out of this whole region. Tanks Eevee couldn't resist, she jumped off of Umbreon and dashed through the multiple colour flower, scattering yellow, pink and blue petals as she scurried through them. Umbreon shook his head and soon found himself surprised and cautious as Jolteon, just as playfully as the Eevee, joined her in the dashing through the flowers with a smile on both of their faces. Umbreon looked to Leafeon who shook her head as if embarrassed to see it. They were having fun we myself and Tank pursued the members of Team Galactic.
I said "my name's Josh and these are Leafeon" I turned and watched Jolteon play with the Eevee as I continued "and that's Jolteon" he nodded and introduced Umbreon and pointed to Eevee as we slowly followed the members. Eevee and Jolteon dashed to us and stayed with us as we made our way to a small stream with a bridge branching off up north and a pathway in front of us. The members of Team Galactic headed forward ignoring the bridge and so, did we. The stream flowed past a huge building surrounded by wind turbines, I assumed that is how the building was generating power and watched them enter it. It looked almost abandoned while at the same time kept in good shape for its location.
The two that we followed met up with a 3rd member outside of the front door, we were too far away to hear them but then they entered the building quickly. What could they be doing in such a remote area? I'm sure Tank was thinking the same thing or at the least wonder what they might use wind power for. Tank suggested "lets head in, the more time passes the more time they will look for whatever they're after" I agreed, they were in a remote area for a reason and given the building they were after documents or something like that, I nodded and walks into the building with tank who for such a build was faster than he looked.
The members of Team Galactic were split up, 2 were in the office in front of us while the last one was searching through the cabinet at the end of the hall. We were right to assume they were searching for something and we heard a lady's voice with such a demanding tone say "where would that nut scientist put them!?" The grunt replied "I don't know miss but they must be here" we both looked around but we couldn't see anyone else besides the 3 guys in front of us. As we listened gathering more information on what the seeming grunts were up to. before we could gather more, the grunt behind us alerted everyone else to our presence and we were surrounded, 2 were facing me from the office and one was behind me, facing Tank.
Grunt 1 shouted "don't let them get the files!" He threw a pokeball up and called forward his Glameow, grunt 2 did the same and called out Zubat, an eyeless bat with purple and dark purple colouring under the wings. Glameow was a small purple cat with white patches, pink inside the ears and the tail spiraled. Lastly grunt 3 facing Tank called out 2 pokemon at once, a Glameow and a Stunky, it resembles a skunk but with a deeper shade of purple and a bushy tail.
I threw up my pokeball and called forward Gengar, it looked big and dark purple with a big smile and mean looking eyes, especially for a ghost type. Jolteon and Leafeon watched as the battle was about to begin, Eevee was worried while Umbreon comforted her. Tank called forward Metang but he called out another name, he called out the name Bas. Leafeon was confused by this and looked to me as I told her "trainers have the option to give the pokemon we catch a nickname and Tank called his Metang Bas, you take Jolteon to the side and don't worry about us, we've got this" leafeon nods and nudges the nervous jolteon to the side and watched the battle. Tank nods to his Umbreon who took Eevee to the side with Leafeon and Jolteon for the same reason.
We were blocked from either exiting or moving forward so I called out "Gengar, use shadow ball" Gengar formed a dark orb in the palm of his hands then shoots it to the Zubat and Glameow belonging to grunt 1 and 2. the Zubat and Glameow dodges the ball that exploded against the ground and grunt 1 called "use hypnosis" the glameows eyes became like a kaleidoscope and swirls with all kinds of colours and sent them ins circular waves to both Gengar and Bas. I smiled and nodded to Gengar as both bas and himself disappeared into shadows before the waves reached them. Tank was confused as a shadow ball hit Glameow from its shadow, this didn't do damage but did push the glameow up making it vulnerable. Tank got the idea and called out "use bullet punch" Bas swung the metal arms and hit glameow hard making it faint. We had a shifted in our favour as 1 of the 3 grunts were defeated but I have a feeling the files they're after is more valuable than we know.
