Chapter twenty two

"Go Glameow!" said Pinto.

Glameow materialized from the Pokéball.

"Glameow, use hypnosis!" said Pinto.

Glameow looked at Nidoking's eyes, hers turned purple, his eyes closed and he fell over asleep. Moon pointed a Pokéball at him.

"Nidoking, return!" said Moon.

A red light came out of the Pokéball, covered Nidoking and sucked him inside.

"That was unexpected," said Moon.

Moon put the Pokéball back onto his belt and took off two of them. He threw them into the air.

"Go Charmeleon and Espeon!" said Moon.

A big red lizard with sharp claws and a long tail that had a flame burning on its tail and his Espeon came out of the Pokéballs. Pinto took out his Pokédex and pointed it at the lizard.

"Charmeleon the flame Pokémon and the evolved form of Charmander, without pity, its sharp claws destroy foes. If it encounters a strong enemy, it becomes agitated, and the flame on its tail flares with a bluish white color," said the Pokédex.

Pinto then pointed the Pokédex at Espeon.

"Espeon the sun Pokémon and the evolved form of Eevee, by reading air currents; it can predict things such as the weather or its foe's next move," said the Pokédex.

Pinto put away his Pokédex; he then took a Pokéball off of his belt and threw it into the air.

"Go Stunky!" said Pinto.

Stunky materialized from the Pokéball.

"Glameow, use water pulse on Charmeleon and Stunky use flamethrower on Espeon!" said Pinto.

Glameow lifted her paws into the air, a blue ball formed and she shot it at Charmeleon. Stunky opened his mouth; a stream of searing flames came out and went towards Espeon.

"Espeon, use psychic to deflect and Charmeleon use hyper beam!" said Moon.

Espeon's eyes glowed purple, the flamethrower and water pulse stopped; Charmeleon opened his mouth, an orange and brown ball formed, it turned into a beam, it was shot at them and the attacks turned around and went towards them. When the attacks hit Pinto, Stunky and Glameow there was a huge explosion and they went flying out of the side of the building. They hit the ground and fainted. Moon walked to the hole and looked at them.

"You still have a lot to learn," said Moon.

A voice appeared in Moon's head.

"Don't you think that was a little rough?" asked Darkrai.

Moon grinned.

"He's my son he should be fine," answered Moon in his head.

"You better have Espeon teleport him and his friends into Eterna forest," said Darkrai.

Espeon walked up to Moon.

"Where do you think I should put him in that vast forest?" asked Espeon inside his head.

"Put him in the old chateau," answered Moon inside his head.

Espeon nodded and teleported over to Pinto, she then teleported him, Stunky and Glameow into a strange old house that was dark and empty of life and then she teleported back to Moon.

"It has been done," thought Espeon.

"I hope he stays safe," thought Moon.

"So do I," said Darkrai.

A grunt ran up to Moon.

"What was that explosion?" asked the grunt.

Moon turned and looked at the grunt.

"The boy got away," answered Moon.

--

Pinto opened his eyes, got up and looked around.

"Where am I," asked Pinto.

A familiar voice appeared in Pinto's head.

"You are in a place called the old Chateau," answered Darkrai.

"How did I get here?" asked Pinto inside his head.

"Your father had Espeon teleport you," answered Darkrai.

Pinto got a confused look on his face.
