Chapter twenty one
Pinto and Quilava walked out of the forest and saw a city in the distance.
"I wonder where the Team Galactic building is?" asked Pinto in his head.
Quilava pointed at a very large building near the entrance of the city.
"That building looks weird," thought Quilava.
Pinto grinned.
"Let's go investigate it," thought Pinto.
Pinto and Quilava crept over to the building.
"This place looks a little weird, it doesn't look like it fits with the city," thought Pinto.
Pinto looked into a nearby window and saw several Team Galactic grunts.
"We're going to burst right in," thought Pinto.
Quilava looked at Pinto with a startled look on his face.
"Why?" asked Quilava in his head.
Pinto grinned.
"They won't expect it," answered Pinto in his head.
Pinto and Quilava walked to the front doors.
"As soon as we go in do a flamethrower," thought Pinto.
Quilava grinned.
"Sure," thought Quilava.
Pinto and Quilava burst through the doors of the building, all the grunts in the lobby turned around, he opened his mouth, and a stream of searing hot flames came out and engulfed some of the nearby grunts in flames. The grunts that were hit by the flames cried out in pain and fell to the floor. The rest of the grunts took Pokéballs off of their belts and threw them into the air. Three Glameows, two Stunkys and five Golbats materialized from the thrown Pokéballs.
"Quilava, use blaze kick!" said Pinto.
Flames surrounded Quilava's foot; he charged at a nearby Glameow and kicked him in the face.

Cyrus was sitting at his desk reading the Lake Verity mission report. A grunt ran into the room, he looked up from the report and looked at him.
"Why have you disturbed me?" asked Cyrus.
"Our Eterna base is under attack," answered the grunt.
Cyrus stood up from his desk.
"Who is attacking it?" asked Cyrus.
"Reports say that it is a kid with a Quilava," answered the grunt.
Cyrus got an angry expression on his face.
"Are you telling me that over one hundred grunts are losing to a single kid," said Cyrus.
"Yes sir," said the grunt.
Cyrus clenched his fists.
"Bring me Commander Moon," said Cyrus.
The grunt saluted.
"Yes sir," said the grunt.
"There is no need," said a voice.
Moon walked into the room and he was wearing a grey Team Galactic uniform.
Cyrus got a relieved look on his face.
"Moon go to the Eterna base and eliminate the kid," said Cyrus.
Moon grinned and took a Pokéball off of his belt. He threw it into the air.
"Go Espeon!" said Moon.
Espeon materialized from the Pokéball and Moon put his hand on her back.
"Teleport me to our base in Eterna!" said Moon.
Moon and Espeon disappeared.
--
Pinto was running through the second floor with Quilava and Sentret by his side. Two grunts with Golbats were running behind him.
"Golbat, use bite!" said the first grunt.
One of the Golbats sped towards Pinto.
"Sentret, use ice beam!" said Pinto.
Sentret turned his head towards the Golbat and fired a beam of ice. She was frozen solid and both the grunts were running so fast they ran into the frozen Golbat. They fell over and passed out. The last Golbat charged toward them.
"Quilava, use flamethrower!" said Pinto.
Quilava turned his head, opened his mouth and shot out a stream of searing flames towards Golbat. The flames hit him and he fell to the ground fainted.
"Stop right there," said a familiar voice.
Pinto stopped running and got a shocked look on his face. Quilava and Sentret also stopped running and looked at him.
"Father," said Pinto.
Pinto's father was standing in front of him. Tears started to roll down Pinto's face.
"What are you doing here and why are you wearing a Team Galactic uniform!" yelled Pinto.
Pinto's father smirked.
"I'm a Galactic Commander son and I can't let you ruin our plans," said Pinto's father in a calm voice.
Pinto's father took a Pokéball off of his belt.
"I Commander Moon shall defeat you," said Pinto's father.
Moon threw the Pokéball into the air.
"Go Nidoking!" said Moon.
A large purple rabbit with a horn on his head, a large tail, several spikes on his back and a large tail materialized from the Pokéball. Pinto took out his Pokédex and pointed it at the rabbit.
"Nidoking the drill Pokémon and the evolved form of Nidorino, One swing of its mighty tail can snap a telephone pole as if it were a matchstick," said the Pokédex.
Pinto put away his Pokédex.
"Dad you're joking around right?" asked Pinto.
Moon didn't answer.
"Nidoking, use iron tail!" said Moon.
Nidoking's tail started to glow and he swung it at Sentret. His tail smacked into him and smashed him against a wall.
"Sentret!" said Pinto.
Sentret landed on the floor and fainted. Pinto pointed a Pokéball at Sentret.
"Sentret, return!" said Pinto.
A red light came out of the Pokéball, covered Sentret and sucked him inside. Pinto looked the Pokéball.
"Sorry Sentret," said Pinto.
Pinto put the Pokéball back onto his belt and looked at his father with an angry look on his face.
"Now you've gone too far!" yelled Pinto.
Moon grinned.
"Quilava, use blaze kick!" said Pinto.
Flames surrounded Quilava's foot and he charged at Nidoking.
"Nidoking, use surf!" said Moon.
Moisture started to form in front of Nidoking; it rose up into a wave and rushed forward. Pinto and Quilava were washed down to the end of the hallway and smacked into the wall.
"You are still weak," said Moon.
Pinto looked at Quilava and saw that he had fainted. Pinto pointed a Pokéball at him.
"Quilava, return!" said Pinto.
A red light came out of the Pokéball, covered Quilava and sucked him inside. Pinto looked at the Pokéball.
"You did well pal and I am proud of you," whispered Pinto.
Pinto put the Pokéball back onto his belt and pulled off another one. He got to his feet.
"You won't win!" said Pinto.
Pinto threw the Pokéball into the air.
