Chapter twenty
Mars looked at Pinto's father.
"Who are you?" asked Mars.
"My name is Commander Moon," answered Pinto's father.
Moon walked over to the man.
"Commander Cyrus it is good to see you again after such a long time," said Moon.
Cyrus glared at the man.
"Why have you returned?" asked Cyrus.
Moon smiled.
"I heard my son was giving you some problems, so I decided to pay a visit," answered Moon.
Cyrus stood up.
"He has already been eliminated," said Cyrus.
"I doubt it," said Moon in a calm voice.
Moon took a Pokéball off of his belt and threw it into the air.
"Go Espeon!" said Moon.
A skinny purple dog with a long tail that split near the end and a small round red jewel on its head materialized from the Pokéball.
"Espeon, use your psychic powers and sense if Pinto is still alive," said Moon.
Espeon concentrated and felt Pinto's life source. She nodded her head and Moon grinned. Cyrus glared at Mars and she got a fearful look on her face.
"You have failed me Commander Mars!" yelled Cyrus.
Mars got a teary look on her face.
"I'm sorry Cyrus," said Mars.
"Get out of my office this instant!" yelled Cyrus.
Mars quickly left the room and tears started to roll down her face.
"I'll make him pay," said Mars.
Cyrus sat back down and looked at Moon.
"I want to be reinstated as a Team Galactic Commander," said Moon.
Cyrus smirked.
"Very well then," said Cyrus.

Pinto's was able to sit up, Quilava was already on his feet and Turtwig had brought them some fruit to eat.
"This fruit tastes good," said Pinto.
Pinto reached into the pile of fruit and took out an apple. He bit into it and Quilava was nibbling on a pear.
"Turt wig turt?" asked Turtwig. (Where are you from?)
Quilava stopped nibbling on the pear and looked at Turtwig.
"Quil ava ava quil," answered Quilava. (We're from Newbark town)
"Wig turt wig?" asked Turtwig. (What's your journey?)
"Pinto, what is our journey?" asked Quilava in his head.
"We're trying to stop Team Galactic from obtaining Dialga and Palkia," answered Pinto in his head.
"Quil ava quil ava ava quil," answered Quilava. (We're trying to stop some bad guys)
Turtwig got an amazed look on his eyes.
"Turt turt wig?" asked Turtwig. (Is how you got hurt?)
"Ava," answered Quilava. (Yes)
Pinto and Quilava suddenly heard Darkrai's voice in their heads.
"Pinto and Quilava, I need both of you to head to Eterna city immediately," said Darkrai.
"Why?" asked Pinto inside his head.
"Team Galactic has a building in that city and I need you to defeat the grunts inside of it," answered Darkrai.
"We don't know where we are how are we supposed to get there?" asked Pinto inside his head.
"You are in the Eterna forest and close to the outskirts of Eterna city," answered Darkrai.
Pinto stopped eating and got to his feet.
"Wig turt wig?" asked Turtwig. (Are you leaving?)
"Ava quil," answered Quilava. (Afraid so)
Pinto and Quilava started to walk and Turtwig pouted. He raised his head and ran after them.
