Tales of a Galactic Commander pt 3

As the sun was rising over Veilstone City, Dustin Mercury Berlitz, also known as Commander Mercury, was storming down one of the upper levels of the Galactic HQ in search of Commander Saturn. Mercury was still pissed off about what Saturn did to his room while he was away at Canalave City the other night. After a few minutes of searching, he finally found Saturn. Saturn was talking to a small group of grunts, he was telling them how he trashed Mercury's room, and how he wished that was there to see the expression on his face. After hearing what Saturn was telling the grunts, he released his Feraligatr in anger and told it to use Hydro Pump on Saturn. Feraligatr gave Mercury a sad look like it was telling him that right to hurt humans. Mercury told his Feraligatr that everything will be fine; he would make sure that Saturn didn't get hurt, but unbeknownst to Feraligatr Mercury was actually lying. Feraligatr then fired a Hydro Pump directly at Saturn, and in one fell swoop Saturn was launched into the air, then immediately slamming face first into the closest wall. Mercury laughed at the sheer fact that Saturn went flying, Mercury returned his Feraligatr while he walked by Saturn, who is now stuck on the wall, saying "Let this be a lesson to you, if you ever piss me off again next time your going out the nearest window." Afterwards one of the grunt told Commander Mercury that Master Cyrus wanted to talk to him, so he hurried to Cyrus's office in hope for a new mission. As Mercury entered the room Cyrus openly said "Mercury you did a great job yesterday, since Mars, Jupiter, and Charon are still working on their assignments, I'm giving you the day off. That will be all." Mercury replied with simple thank you and then he was off.

Mercury always wanted to go shopping in Veilstone Department Store, and now he had finally had the chance. As he got to the entrance off the Galactic building, he noticed a girl running into the building. She had wavy crimson red hair that is curliest at the bottom and amber colored eyes, she looked a little younger and she was a few cm shorter than Mercury. She ran right to the reception desk asking the grunt for some help. For so strange reason Mercury felt like he knew her once before, but for the like of him he couldn't remember. Mercury walked over to the girl, when he was finally behind her he put his hand on her shoulder and he lightly turned her to face him. After having a better look he noticed that she had a few bruises and cuts on her face, and he still couldn't put this finger on it but it still felt like he has met his girl before. Mercury then said to the girl "Hi I'm Dustin, what seems to be the problem?" and the girl replied "Hi Dustin, I'm Cherry and strange bald man been chasing me for the past few days." Mercury asked if she knew why someone would be chasing her and she said "Well you see I'm from Kanto, and my father asked my to return two extremely rare pokémon to there master in Twinleaf Town" and Mercury said "well today's your somewhat lucky day, you see I'm from Twinleaf Town so why don't I help you deliver those pokémon." After hearing those word gave Mercury a huge hug while thanking him. While she was hugging Mercury he told Cherry that they will be flying on his Togekiss to Twinleaf Town, and within five min they were both off to Mercury's home town.

While flying over Route 209, Cherry had a funny felling that they were being followed; she turned around and noticed a Skarmory and a Drangonite following them. She also noticed a bald man riding the Drangonite; it was the same one who has been following her. After seeing the bald man she immediately screamed right in Mercury's ears. Mercury turned around and saw the bald man, he quickly turned back forwards and told Togekiss "Change of plans girl, head to the Old Chateau with Cherry and wait until I get there ok." then he quickly told Cherry "No matter what you do stay with Togekiss, do you get me?" Cherry nodded. Then suddenly Mercury jumped off Togekiss, while falling to the ground, he quickly grabbed a pokémon and said "It's your time to shine, Salamance." Mercury threw the pokéball, and with in a few seconds he was standing on top of his Salamance, while Cherry watched until Mercury was out of sight and within a few minute Cherry and Mercury's Togekiss made it to the Old Chateau.

Thirty minutes passed, and there was no sight of Mercury of his Salamance, until Cherry heard a loud roar. Cherry and Togekiss looked at each other and immediately knew it was Mercury, and it was. Salamance landed close to Cherry and Togekiss, Mercury quickly jumped off, petted Salamance's head and returned him to his pokéball. Cherry ran right towards Mercury, but tripped on a rock, and Mercury ran towards Cherry with arms out trying to catch her.

SMACK

Before the two knew what had happened, they where both kissing each other. Cherry quickly push Mercury away, and the two both started to blush at the same time. Suddenly the bald man come out of the trees saying "Well look who we have here, you have being quite the handful Cherry Silph, but now I want the two pokémon, so hand them over NOW!" Cherry quickly yelled out "There not your pokémon they belong to Paul Berlitz, and I will see that he will get them back." Mercury was in shock not because he kissed Cherry but to the fact that he has finally remember Cherry. Her father is the president of the Silph Company; they meet a few days after he started his journey. Mercury and Cherry were the same age; Cherry birthday was only a few days after Mercury's birthday so that made him older. Mercury also noticed Cherry saying that the pokémon belonged to Paul Berlitz, unbeknownst to her that was Mercury's father, and she mustn't have known that he died four years ago. After realizing this Mercury quickly told Cherry Silph "Cherry I have some bad news Paul Berlitz died four years ago." Cherry quickly replied "But how would you know this." and Mercury said with a smile on his face "Because I'm his son, Dustin Mercury Berlitz." Cherry gasped, she didn't even known this Dustin, was her old friend. Suddenly the bald man ran toward Cherry yelling out "Give me the pokémon NOW!" Cherry tossed the pokéballs to Mercury, and then he unleashed the two pokémon, it was a Latios and a Latias. The bald man quickly stopped in his tracks, the Mercury told Latios and a Latias to use Hyper Beam. The Hyper Beams hit the bald man and it sends him flying into the sky, just like Team Rocket.

As the day was ending he took Cherry to the closest dock, so she can safely get home. Right before she boarded the ship she gave Mercury another kiss and she told him if he's ever in Kanto again, that he must meet up with her first thing. As the boat Cherry was waving good bye to Mercury and vice versa. As Mercury returned to HQ he thought to himself about everything that happened today, he ways also glad to keep his father's Latios and a Latias. Now he final have his six pokémon his Feraligatr, shiny Metagross, Togekiss, Salamance, and now a Latios and a Latias. As he returned to his room he saw Saturn, who is still stuck in the wall, and he had a quick laugh.
