Chapter ten
Pinto rubbed his nose.
"Ouch that hurt," whined Pinto.
"Bee drill bee bee drill bee," said Beedrill. (That's what you get when you don't look where you are going)
Pinto looked up and saw that he had walked into a sign. He looked at the letters on the sign. They read Jubilife City.
"At least I got to my destination," muttered Pinto.
Pinto put away his Pokédex and walked into the city. There were several large buildings throughout the city.
"Man this place is huge," chirped Pinto.
Pinto walked through the large city until, he came to a rectangular building with a red roof, and there were letters on the roof. He squinted at the letters.
"Pokémon centre," read Pinto.
Pinto walked up to the building, the sliding doors opened and he walked inside. Beedrill looked around from his perch on Pinto's head and saw several unusual objects he did not recognize.
"Bee drill?" asked Beedrill. (What is this place?)
Pinto walked up to a counter that was at the front and a young woman wearing a nurse's uniform was standing there. Beedrill stared at the nurse curiously.
"Drill bee," said Beedrill. (That humans pretty)
The nurse smiled at Pinto.
"May I help you sir?" asked the nurse
"I am here to get my Pokémon healed," answered Pinto.
The nurse took out a tray from under the counter and placed it on top. Pinto took all of his Pokéballs except Beedrills off of his belt and put them on the tray. He flew off of Pinto's head and landed on her head. She was startled and he got a worried look on his face.
"Sorry about that, it's just that he likes to go on people's heads," said Pinto in an apologetic voice.
The nurse forced a smile.
"Don't worry about it," said the nurse.
The nurse walked through a door that was behind the counter. Pinto walked over to a nearby bench, lied down, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
"Pinto," said a familiar voice.
Pinto opened his eyes and noticed that he was in the dark void.
"Hi Darkrai, what do you want this time?" asked Pinto.
"I have an idea that might make you stronger," answered Darkrai.
Pinto grinned.
"Well what is it?" asked Pinto.
"You should take the gym challenge," answered Darkrai.
Pinto got a confused look on his face.
"What's the gym challenge?" asked Pinto.
"You have to go to Oreburgh City, Eterna City, Hearthome City, Veilstone City, Pastoria City, Canalave City, Snowpoint City and Sunyshore City," answered Darkrai.
"What do I do when I get to each of those cities?" asked Pinto.
"You defeat the gym leader of each city and earn a badge," answered Darkrai.
Pinto got a smile on is face.
"That sounds like fun," chirped Pinto.
"Just remember to defeat Team Galactic whenever you see them," said Darkrai.
"Don't worry Darkrai, I've got it covered," exclaimed Pinto.
Pinto's eyes suddenly closed and when they opened he saw Beedrill sitting on his face.
"Bee drill bee?" asked Beedrill. (Did you have a good sleep?)
Pinto got up and saw the tray holding his Pokéballs at his feet. He took the Pokéballs off of the tray and put them onto his belt. He took the tray up to the counter put it down and walked away. He walked outside, looked up at the sky and saw the sun start to shine.
"I must have been asleep for a few hours," said Pinto.
Beedrill who was flying beside Pinto flew onto his head and took his usual perch. Information about where Oreburgh was suddenly flooded into his head.
"I want you to go to Oreburgh first," said Darkrai inside of Pinto's head.
"Fine," thought Pinto.
He started to walk towards the east exit.
