Chapter fourteen
Pinto walked out of the large dark cave and saw a city in the distance.
"So that's Oreburgh City," said Pinto.
"Meow!" said a familiar voice. (Wait)
Pinto turned around and saw Glameow and Stunky; he stared at them with a confused look on his face.
"What do you want?" asked Pinto.
They walked up to Pinto.
"Stun ky stun ky," answered Stunky. (We want to travel with you)
Pinto suddenly heard a familiar voice in his head.
"Pinto, they want to travel with you," said Darkrai.
"Why?" thought Pinto.
"You helped them out when they needed it and are grateful," answered Darkrai.
"They attacked us," thought Pinto.
"Don't you want to become stronger?" asked Darkrai.
"Fine I will let them travel with me," answered Pinto.
"You will need all the help you can get on your mission," said Darkrai.
Pinto walked up to Glameow and Stunky and knelt down.
"You can join us," said Pinto.
Sentret got a shocked look on his face.
"Tret," said Sentret. (What)
Pinto took two empty Pokéballs out of his pocket and tapped them on Glameow's and Stunky's heads. A red light came out of the Pokéballs, covered them and sucked them inside. The Pokéballs shook for a few seconds then stopped; he looked at the Pokéballs and smiled.
"Welcome to the team," said Pinto.
Pinto put the Pokéballs onto his belt, turned around and started to walk towards the city. He got bored and took out his Pokédex.
"I wonder what attacks they know?" thought Pinto.
First Pinto scrolled to Glameow's data, he went to the known moves screen.
"Glameow knows scratch, hypnosis and water pulse," said Pinto.
Pinto then scrolled to Stunkys data, he went to the known moves screen.
"Stunky knows scratch, poison gas, fury swipes and flamethrower," said Pinto.
Sentret rolled his eyes.
"Tret sen tret?" asked Sentret. (Why does it matter?)
Cyndaquil started to tug on Pinto's shirt.
"Quil cynda," said Cyndaquil. (Look out Pinto)
Pinto looked at Cyndaquil.
"What's wrong pa….," said Pinto.
Pinto walked into a stone building, he walked back a bit and clutched the side of his face.
"That hurt," said Pinto.
"Tret sen tret," said Sentret. (You are one weird human)
Pinto looked around and noticed that he was already in the city, he saw a few people of in the distance laughing and pointing at him. He sighed and looked at the building he had walked into. It was rectangular with a brown roof; he looked to the side and saw a sign next to the building. He walked to the sign and read the letters on it.
"Pokémon gym," read Pinto.
Pinto grinned and looked at the building.
"I made it to my first destination," said Pinto in a proud voice.
"Sen tret sen tret tret," said Sentret. (Yeah and all thanks to your good luck)
Pinto walked into the gym, there was a counter at the front and a young man with glasses and wearing mining equipment was standing beside it. The man saw Pinto and waved.
"Are you here for a gym battle?" asked the man.
"Yes I am," answered Pinto.
The man smiled.
"What's your name?" asked the man.
Pinto walked over to the man.
"My name is Pinto Reed," answered Pinto.
"My name is Roark and I accept your challenge Pinto Reed," said the man.
Roark led Pinto into a giant room with rocks scattered all around, there were also two small white rectangular lines on the floor. The gym leader walked into one of the lines, he walked into the other line. A man wearing a green referee uniform and holding one green flag and one red flag walked to the side of the field.
"Each trainer is only allowed three Pokémon each and only the challenger can substitute Pokémon," said the referee.
The referee raised both flags into the air.
"Let the match begin!" said the referee.
The referee swung down both flags. Roark took a Pokéball off of his belt and threw it into the air.
"Go Geodude!" said Roark.
A rock with a grey round body, two eyes, two muscular arms and no legs materialized from the Pokéball. Pinto took out his Pokédex and pointed it at the rock.
"Geodude the rock Pokémon, It climbs mountain paths using only the power of its arms. Because they look just like boulders lining paths, hikers may step on them without noticing," said the Pokédex.
Pinto put away his Pokédex, took a Pokéball off of his belt and threw it into the air.
