"The ship! The ship! It's being attacked!" I heard someone say through the intercom.

I was inside the kitchen preparing a pot of stew, wearing an apron with a name tag that said 'CHEF DIAMOND'. I wonder why?

I took a look around. I didn't find anything until I found a window. All I could see where stars. Is this a space ship!?

"Get back to work. The food won't cook itself."

I turned around. "Pearl! Pearl! It's you! Where are we? What's with that outfit?"

"Dia!" He gave me the classic slap in the head. "I told you to call me Officer Pearl."

"B-but Pearl—"

"Is everything alright chef?" The voice belonged to Missy.

"Missy! Boy am I glad to see you!"

Pearl smacked me in the head again. "It's Captain Missy, did you forget?"

I bowed to her. "Sorry Captain Missy. I just have no idea what's going on and—"

"Captain!"

"Yes Gardenia?"

She pointed to the window. "The ship. What we feared is happening. The ship is being attacked by Palkia."

Captain Missy's eyes widened. "Palkia?"

"What should we do Captain?" I heard Pearl ask her.

Captain Missy looked like she was thinking deeply. "I think we should send it out."

Pearl's expression appeared annoyed. "What are you saying!? We haven't tested it out. No one will be willing..."

"I know it's risky, but it's the only choice we have."

"Like I said, no one is going to want to do it! It's dangerous!" Pearl told Captain Missy.

Even if our lives seemed to be in danger, I didn't like seeing two of my most favorite people fighting, so I left. I decided to go back to the kitchen and finish the stew. "I hope they figured something out…"

I heard Captain Missy speaking from the intercom. "Everyone please gather at the lowest level of the ship."

I saw a ton of people rushing out of rooms. I didn't want to be the only one left, so I followed them.

When we got to the lowest level, I saw Captain Missy standing on a platform. She then started to talk. "If there is no one who wants to test out the proto-type DIALGA then I myself am willing to do it."

I put my head down. I heard Pearl say that it was dangerous, why would Captain Missy want to do it? I don't think I'm brave enough to volunteer. I'm just a cook.

"He volunteers!"

My eyes widened. "Byron?"

He pushed me towards the front. "This kid here says he'll do it."

"Dia?" I heard Pearl say.

"Is this true?" Captain Missy asked me.

"I'm just a cook…"

Byron showed them my hand. "This kid is a pilot! If anyone had the skills to beat Palkia, it's him."

Captain Missy grabbed my arm, making my face feel warm. "You can control the proto-type DIALGA?"

"I think so…"

She smiled. "Very well."

I saw Pearl push through the crowd. "Dia! You're not planning to go through with this are you? Let the Captain do it! You don't have any experience! The Captain already said she would do it even if it is dangerous!"

I placed my hand on his shoulder. "We have to protect her."

"Huh?"

"Our job is to protect Missy." With that, I got on proto-type DIALGA. It felt so cool! I can't believe I'm in an actual robot that's going to go have a space battle with Palkia!

Before I launched, Missy came to see me again. "Thank you."

"N-no problem. My job is to protect you," I smiled.

Missy smiled back.

With that I launched out into space. Right in front of me, I saw it. Palkia.

Since I was wearing a head set, I could hear Pearl and Missy telling me what to do. I felt happy that we were working as a team. It gave me enough courage to go up to Palkia and beat it up with my awesome robot!

"Dia!"

Pearl and Missy came running towards me when I got off DIALGA.

I rubbed the back of my head as they congratulated me. "Thank you."

I heard my stomach growl. "I'm hungry…"

"Mun-ch."

I grabbed Lax by the arms. "Lax! Did you know in my dream I was a cook, pilot, and hero?"

"Munch?"

I nodded really fast. "It was the best dream ever!"
