Chapter Five
When Arthur reached the edge of town, the worker was there looking depressed. When he noticed Arthur, he said, "Oh! You're the trainer from the woods. Do you think that you could help me again?"
"What happened?" Arthur asked.
"This thug ran off with some really important items from Devon Corporation. I really need to get it back. Help me, please!" He begged.
"Sure, I'll be back soon. Wait here." He jogged off toward where the worker said that the man went.
He came to the entrance of a tunnel with a white haired man standing outside of it. The funny thing was, he didn't look elderly in the slightest. Arthur went to talk to him, and he saw that the man had red eyes.
"Some totally un-awesome person came and took off with my awesome Gilbird! You have to get him back for the awesome me!" The man yelled.
"Alright, alright! Calm down! I'll find him!" He ran into the tunnel to escape from the panicking man. He didn't have to go far before he saw a red clad figure with a wingull.
"Hey! Get back here!" He called to the man when he fled deeper into the tunnel.
'I don't understand why people say that. The other person isn't going to listen to you. So why waste your own breath?'
"I don't know. There's a slight possibility that they would listen." Arthur said while giving chase to the thug.
'Not really.'
"Shut up! It was worth a shot!"
The man stopped when he saw that the path to escape was blocked. He turned, and in desperation, challenged Arthur. "I come all this way to get this item, and the escape route is blocked! Get this item from Rustboro, they said. It'll be easy, they said. Well now I'm going to take out my anger on you!"
"Alright, if that's what you want. Go, Mudkip!" The mudkip came out of his pokeball. "Who are you anyway? Haven't you the decency to introduce yourself!"
"I am only a Team Magma Grunt. You don't need to know what my name is." He sent out a poochyena.
The foolish and hasty member of Team Magma didn't know that Arthur had trained Mudkip to level sixteen, and Arceus was level twenty after defeating Raivis.
"Mudkip! Use Mud-Slap!" The ground type move, not only caused damage to the dog pokemon, but also lowered it's accuracy.
Poochyena! Use Tackle!" However, the move missed, and Mudkip was able to use Water Gun, defeating it.
"Grrr… Fine. Take it. I don't want it. But I'm sure to catch hell with my boss." The grunt handed over a package.
"Wait, didn't you have that wingull..?" He trailed off because the grunt had already left.
'You said I would get used to odd people. How long do you estimate that will take?' Arceus asked.
"Even I don't know that one. I try to ignore it."
"Gilbird!" The albino man from outside the cave ran to the wingull and hugged the bird. The bird perched on his head. "Thank you for rescuing Gilbird!"
"Who are you anyway?" Arthur asked.
"I am the awesome Gilbert Beilschmidt! And this is the awesome Gilbird!" He was referring to the wingull.
'This is going to take a lot longer than I originally thought.' Arceus said.
Arthur laughed at this. Gilbert said, "I know! You come to my house later! I can take you to Dewford Town or Slateport City! Just tell the awesome me where you want to go and I'll take you there!" He rushed off.
Arthur took the parcel to the worker in Rustboro. "Thank you so much! I would have been fired for sure if you hadn't gotten this back!" He thought for a moment. "I have an idea! Follow me!"
The worker led him to a large cathedral-like building and took him to the top floor. "Wait here, I'll go talk to the President." He walked over to a large, ornate desk and spoke to a man with his hair in a very long ponytail. He came back after a short exchange.
"President Wang will see you now." He led Arthur to the President.
"I am President Wang. I heard that you helped my employee twice today, aru. Thank you for that. May I ask you to do a couple more tasks for me, aru?"
"I think so. What do you need me to do?"
"First, my little brother, Kiku, is in Dewford Town. Please deliver this letter to him, aru."
"Sounds simple enough."
"Second, I need you deliver this package to Captain Køhler in Slateport City."
"I can do that." Arthur received the items for delivery.
"I can't ask you to do this for nothing, so take this." President Wang handed him a small device. "This is a Pokemon Navigator. PokeNav for short. It has a map of the Hoenn Region, a feature to see how your pokemon are doing in detail, and a feature to see which trainers you have met."
"Thank you." Arthur left and headed toward Petalburg Woods. He rushed through it, and when he came out on the Petalburg side, he saw a small house near a pier where a boat was docked.
In the house, Gilbert was running around with Gilbird. When Arthur asked if Gilbert could take him to Dewford Town, he said, "Dewford Town? Awesome. Gilbird! We are awesomely setting sail, now!"
Once on board, the sun began to go down. Arthur decided to go to sleep in one of the bunks, and told Arceus to wake him if something happened. It had been a rather eventful day, and Arthur was asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.
