Chapter seventeen

Pinto took out his Pokédex and pointed it at the scorpion.

"Drapion the ogre scorp Pokémon and the evolved form of Skorupi, It has the power in its clawed arms to make scrap of a car. The tips of its claws release poison," said the Pokédex.

Pinto put away his Pokédex. A woman with red hair wearing a Team Galactic uniform walked out from a nearby tunnel behind him.

"You've got no where to run," said the woman.

Pinto turned around and saw her.

"What do you want?" said Pinto.

The woman started to laugh.

"If you come without a struggle, you won't be harmed," answered the woman.

Pinto smirked.

"What if i refuse?" asked Pinto.

The woman stopped laughing.

"My friend Drapion will have to put the squeeze on you," answered the woman.

Pinto turned around and looked at Drapion. He took a Pokéball off of his belt.

"I won't lose to you," said Pinto.

"Well then, I Mars of Team Galactic will have to punish you," said the woman.

Pinto threw the Pokéball he was holding into the air.

"Go Cyndaquil!" said Pinto.

Cyndaquil materialized from the Pokéball.

"Cyndaquil, use flamethrower!" said Pinto.

Cyndaquil opened his mouth and sent out a stream of searing flames towards Drapion.

"Drapion, use x scissor!" said Mars.

Drapion put his arms into an x shape and swung them forward, a purple x appeared and went through Cyndaquil's flames. It hit him and knocked him backwards.

"Drapion, use thunder fang on the boy!" said Mars.

Drapion charged at Pinto, two yellow fangs appeared in his mouth.

"This is bad," thought Pinto.

Pinto was to slow and Drapion sunk the fangs into his shoulder. He felt a surge of electricity flow through his body and cried out in pain.

"Aaaaaah!" screamed Pinto.

Cyndaquil looked at Pinto with a worried look on his face.

"Quil!" yelled Cyndaquil. (Pinto)

Drapion removed the fangs from Pinto's shoulder. He fell to the ground unable to move.

"Cynda quil cynda!" yelled Cyndaquil. (How dare you do that to Pinto)

Flames surrounded Cyndaquil's foot, he lunged at Drapion. He swung his tail at him and knocked him into the cave wall. He hit the floor.

"dra pion dra," said drapion. (Take that mousy)

Cyndaquil struggled to his feet and had a flashback of when he first met Pinto. Tears rolled down his eyes.

"Cynda quil quil cynda quil," thought cyndaquil. (I need more power so that I can save Pinto)

A strange voice entered Cyndaquil's head.

"I shall give you some power," said the voice.

Cyndaquil started to glow, when he stopped glowing a big mouse with a long body, blue head, blue back, yellow chin, yellow stomach, red and yellow flame on its butt and a red and yellow flame on top of its head was standing in his place. Drapion grunted.

"dra pion pion dra," said Drapion. (It looks like the mousy got bigger)

The mouse smirked.

"Quil ava ava," said the mouse. (You're going down ugly)

Drapion got an angry look on his face.

"Pion dra," said Drapion. (Bring it)

Flames surrounded the mouse's body and he charged at Drapion.

"Drapion, finish that pest with x scissor!" said Mars.

Drapion crossed his arms into an x shape, swung and a purple x appeared and went towards the mouse. The x hit the flames and dissappeared, he jumped and rammed into him. Flames covered his entire body and he cried out in pain. Mars got an agitated look on her face.

"Drapion, stop fooling around!" said Mars.

The mouse opened up his mouth and released a bunch of pitch black smoke. The smoke surrounded him, Drapion, Pinto and mars. She started to cough. When the smoke cleared she stopped coughing and looked around.

"Where did that mouse and boy go?" asked Mars.

Drapion walked over to Mars.

"Pion dra," answered Drapion. (Don't know)

Mars looked at drapion.

"Find them or else," said Mars.

Drapion dug unnder ground.
