Chapter Six
When Weedle stopped glowing a yellow cocoon with two eyes was where he had been. Pinto took out his Pokédex and pointed it at the cocoon.
"Kakuna the cocoon Pokémon and the evolved form of Weedle, Kakuna remains virtually immobile as it clings to a tree. However, on the inside, it is extremely busy as it prepares for its coming evolution. This is evident from how hot the shell becomes to the touch," said the Pokédex.
Pinto put his Pokédex away and smiled at Kakuna.
Pinto picked up Kakuna and started to walk around the ship.
"I wonder how long it will take to get to Sinnoh?" asked Pinto out loud.
"It will take approximately 50 minutes," answered a voice.
Pinto turned around and saw a young man wearing a sailor uniform.
"I didn't know Sinnoh was so close," said Pinto.
"It's not for other ships the trip takes days," said the sailor.
"What do you mean?" asked Pinto.
The sailor grinned.
"This is the SS. Crusader and it is one of the fastest ships in the world," answered the sailor.
Pinto started to grin.
"Are you serious?" asked Pinto.
"You bet," answered the sailor.
"That's awesome," said Pinto.
The sailor looked down at his watch.
"I better get going now," said the sailor.
The sailor turned around and walked away. A man wearing a green and white spacesuit-like uniform with a big yellow G on it stood watching in the distance. He took out a black walkie talkie and started to talk into it.
"Sir, I have the target in my sights do you want me to proceed with the operation?" asked the man.
"Affirmative," answered a voice.
The man put away the walkie talkie and pulled out a black square device with a red button on it. The man pushed the button. Pinto heard a loud explosion from the rear of the ship. The boat shook violently and smoke rose from the rear of the ship. The sailor from before ran past him.
"What's going?" asked Pinto.
The sailor stopped running and turned around to look at Pinto.
"There was a large explosion from the rear end of the ship," answered the sailor.
The sailor turned around and started to run towards the rear end of the ship. A cat with a boomerang shaped head and a long tail came out of a nearby room and rammed into the sailor. He crumpled to the floor. The cat put her long tail around the sailor's leg and threw him off of the ship. A man wearing a spacesuit-like uniform came out of the room the cat had come out of.
"Good work Glameow," said the man.
The man looked around and saw Pinto.
"It seems we have a witness," said the man.
Pinto started to back away.
"Glameow, use tackle!" said the man.
Glameow started to charge towards Pinto. He turned around and started to run. She was to fast for him. She rammed into Pinto's back and knocked him over. Kakuna went flying out of his arms and landed on the floor. He suddenly heard a familiar voice inside his head.
"Pinto, don't run away I know you can win," said Darkrai.
Pinto started to get up. He now realized what he had to do. He realized that it was time for his confrontation against Team Galactic and he also realized that he couldn't give up no matter what. He turned around and stared at the grunt. He took a Pokéball off of his belt. The grunt started to laugh.
"Do you really think you stand a chance against Team Galactic?" asked the grunt.
"Yes I do," answered Pinto.
The grunt stopped laughing and glared at Pinto. He threw the Pokéball into the air.
"Go Cyndaquil!" said Pinto.
Cyndaquil materialized out of the Pokéball. Pinto took out his Pokédex and pointed it at Glameow.
"Glameow the catty Pokémon, It claws if displeased and purrs when affectionate. Its fickleness is very popular among some," said the Pokédex.
Pinto put his Pokédex away.
"Cyndaquil, use blaze kick!" said Pinto.
Flames surrounded Cyndaquil's foot. He charged at Glameow.
"Glameow, use shadow claw!" said the grunt.
A black shadowy-like hand appeared on Glameow's paw. She lunged at Cyndaquil. She swiped the hand across his face and sent him flying into Pinto's stomach. Pinto fell over. The grunt started to laugh.
"It looks like I win," said the grunt.
Pinto got to his feet.
"Not yet you haven't," said Pinto.
The grunt stopped laughing. Cyndaquil got up and a red flame-like glow surrounded him.
"Quil cynda quil," said Cyndaquil. (I feel stronger)
"Glameow, use slash!" said the grunt.
Glameow brought her front claw forward and lunged at Cyndaquil.
"Cyndaquil, use blaze kick!" said Pinto.
Flames surrounded Cyndaquil's foot. He charged towards Glameow and lifted his foot. Both attacks collided. His attack was stronger and She was sent flying into the air. She hit the floor and fainted.
"Impossible," said the grunt.
The grunt pointed a Pokéball at Glameow. A red light came out of the Pokéball, covered her and sucked her inside. The grunt turned around and started to run. Pinto turned around and picked up Kakuna.
"So you are the one who beat my underling," said a voice.
Pinto turned around and saw a lady with purple hair wearing a spacesuit-like uniform and had a big yellow G on it. The lady took a Pokéball off of her belt.
"I commander Jupiter of Team Galactic will defeat you," said the lady.
Jupiter threw the Pokéball into the air.
"Go Golbat!" said Jupiter.
A big blue bat with a large mouth and big wings materialized out of the Pokéball. Pinto took out his Pokédex and pointed it at the bat.
"Golbat the bat Pokémon and the evolved form of Zubat, Golbat loves to drink the blood of living things. It is particularly active in the pitch black of night. This Pokémon flits around in the night skies, seeking fresh blood," said the Pokédex.
Pinto put away his Pokédex and threw the Pokéball he was holding into the air.
"Go Sentret!" said Pinto.
Sentret materialized out of the Pokéball. Jupiter grinned at Pinto.
"Are you sure you want to oppose us kid?" asked Jupiter.
"Yes I am," answered Pinto.
Jupiter stopped grinning and glared at Pinto.
"Golbat, use bite!" said Jupiter.
Golbat lunged at Sentret with his fangs bared.
"Sentret, use ice beam!" said Pinto.
Sentret fired a beam of ice out of its mouth towards Golbat. The beam of ice hit Golbat and froze it in a block of ice.
"You little brat," said Jupiter.
Jupiter pointed a Pokéball at Golbat. A red light came out of the Pokéball, covered him and sucked him inside. She put the Pokéball back onto her belt and took off another one.
"No more playing around now I'm serious," said Jupiter.
Jupiter threw the Pokéball into the air.
"Go Skuntank!" said Jupiter.
A big purple skunk with a butt-like face and a long tail materialized out of the Pokéball. Pinto took out his Pokédex and pointed it at the skunk.
"Skuntank the skunk Pokémon and the evolved form of Stunky, It sprays a vile-smelling fluid from the tip of its tail to attack. Its range is over 160 feet," said the Pokédex.
Pinto put away his Pokédex.
"Sentret, use ice beam!" said Pinto.
Sentret fired a beam of ice out of his mouth towards Skuntank.
"Skuntank, use hyper beam!" said Jupiter.
A orange and white ball formed in Skuntank's mouth. The ball turned into a beam and was fired at Sentret, Cyndaquil, Kakuna and Pinto. The attack went through the ice beam and hit them. They were knocked over to the bow of the ship. A man wearing a Team Galactic uniform ran up to Jupiter.
"We have acquired the target," said the grunt.
Jupiter turned around and looked at the grunt.
"Good work now let us return to base," said Jupiter.
A big black helicopter with a big yellow G on it was heading towards the SS. Crusader. The helicopter landed on the rear of the ship and a bunch of grunts and Jupiter climbed on board and with them was the sailor Pinto had met before. The sailor looked at Jupiter.
"What do you want with me?" asked the sailor.
Jupiter grinned at the sailor.
"You will find out soon enough," answered Jupiter.
The helicopter took off and started to leave the ship. Pinto watched it leave into the distance. His body hurt all over.
"I will beat her next time," said Pinto.
Pinto closed his eyes and passed out.
