"Inteleon what are you doing?" Flygon asked as they snuck through the harbor.
"I'm trying to do what Leon's Inteleon seeing if I can use a move with both of my hands"
"Are you seriously thinking about that at a time like this?"
Since the Bug Tera Crystal was located on a small island off the coast Inteleon had decided that the best idea was to take a boat.
"Alright now does anybody see a boat that looks suspicious?"
"I see one" Iron Valiant pointed to the boat with a giant G slapped on it.
"Alright everybody get to those creates.
With some very "stealthy" maneuvers, everyone could sneak behind some crates on the boat heading to the island.
"Everybody quiet we need to get some vital information"
The boat pulled into a dock on a small island the whole place was swarmed with Team Galactic grunts.
"Alright time to enter stealth mode" Inteleon skulked around the dock.
And immediately bumped into a Team Galactic grunt.
"Hey!" before the grunt could do anything Great Tusk grabbed them with his trunk and tossed them into the sea.
"Alright, what we need is a plan to get to that tent over there" Great Tusk pointed to a large white tent standing in the middle of the island.
"Everybody in the crates" Inteleon suggested hopping into one of the crates of mining equipment.
"Inteleon mate are sure this is stealthy?" Iron Thorns asked.
"Don't be silly robot Tyranitar how could we be any stealthier?"
"Did you ever stop to think what this looks like on the outside?" Aerodactyl replied.
On the outside, it looked like a bunch of boxes walking around.
The parade of walking boxes came to a stop in front of the tent Inteleon picked under the fabric to see what was happening.
Inside the tent, a man with blue hair was talking to a boy with green hair.
"Hey Spidops that's the same guy that you knocked out with the folding cheer"
"What's he doing here?"
"So what did you want to discuss with me Saturn?"
"Well my scientists have discovered that the Psychic-type Tera Crystal is standing directly underneath the Bug-type Tera Crystal"
"And this is worth wasting my time over how?"
"Well one of the strange Pokémon that we caught appears to be part Psychic-type it reacted quite positively to the energy given off by the crystal. We were able to calm it enough to let it out of its Pokeball. Rinto I want you to try and tame this creature some old files in a book call it Iron Leaves"
The blue-haired man tossed out a Pokeball revealing a strange sleekly metallic Virizion stepping into the light.
"And what happened to the other one you captured?" the green-haired boy asked.
"The other one is believed to be called Walking Wake is a water/dragon type but we don't know where the location of the dragon-type Tera Crystal and the water-type one is under possession by Ash Ketchum"
"You already have experience training psychic types so I trust you the most of anybody working for us. This is a very important understood"
"Understood Mr. Saturn"
"Sweet baked beans, do any of you guys know about Iron Leaves?"
"I have never heard of that thing in my life" "Nope" "Never"
"I know isn't it crazy right" a random box had appeared beside Inteleon.
"What the! stand back team galactic grunt!"
"Inteleon it's just me" Team Rockets Pelipper responded.
"What the what are you doing here?"
"Are owners had the same idea as you"
"Pelipper who the hell are you talking to?"
"Quiet Bombirdier"
"What the how do you talk back to me silly toilet-" Bombirdier was abruptly cut off.
"Sorry that's just Bombirdier he just got caught earlier today"
"And I very much regret being caught"
"Quiet I think they're talking about the Tera-Crystal" Raichu hushed.
"So yes we've managed to excavate the bug Tera-Crystal and were almost done excavating the psychic-type one"
"Viri!" Iron Leaves suddenly turned its head unleashing a Leaf Blade cutting through the tent and the boxes Inteleon was hiding in.
"Think fast!" Inteleon fired a Snipe Shot into the ground creating a blast of water.
Everybody ran in different directions Inteleon ducked to dodge another Leaf Blade from Iron Leaves.
"I got it!" James shouted throwing a Pokeball from the table "Walking Wake go!"
A strange-looking two-legged Suicune appeared eyeballing James.
"Cune!' Walking Wake launched a Dragon Breath at James missing by a meter creating a large purple and blue explosion.
"Somebody help!" Inteleon yelled as he ducked under another Leaf Blade from Iron Leaves.
Iron Leaves was hit by an Icy Wind by Abomasnow slowing it down and allowing Inteleon to escape.
Iron Leaves broke free from the ice around its feet a horn of light green aura glowing forming around its head.
"Oh, wait maybe this was a bad idea!" Abomasnow yelled as he was sliced by the Sacred Sword.
"You stop right there!" the Team galactic admin confronted Inteleon with his Toxicroak.
"Use Poison Jab!" Toxicroak's claw glowed bright purple. Inteleon countered with Liquidation but was overpowered by Toxicroak.
"Use Dark Pulse!" Inteleon jumped out of the way of the Dark Pulse.
Before Saturn could order another command Great Tusk sent both of them flying with Headlong Rush.
"We need to get the Tera Crystals and get out of here" Great Tusk yelled.
"Cune!" from the dust of the chaos Walking Wake emerged eyeballing Inteleon.
"Oh, no"
"Cuuunee!" Walking Wake fired a beam of scolding hot water at Inteleon.
"Aww somebody help me!" Inteleon yelled dodging more Hydro Steams from Walking Wake using U-Turn on a grunt Glameow for extra momentum.
Amongst the swarming chaos of Pokémon battling grunts, Inteleon could see a large crystal glowing bright chartreuse sitting on a cart near a large ship.
Now the only problem was Walking Wake.
"Hey, Lokix look I got something for you" Inteleon tapped Lokix on the shoulder after he knocked out a Dustox with Throat Chop.
Inteleon kept running ignoring Lokix's yelling as he was set on fire by Walking Wakes Flamethrower.
Inteleon landed on the bug Tera-Crystal where Flygon, Frogadier, and Iron Thorns were already trying to move it.
"Frogadier help me use a water move on the ground"
Frogadier went for Water Pulse and Inteleon went for Snipe Shot smoothing out the ground and giving Flygon and Iron Thorns the leverage to pull the Tera-crystal onto the ship.
"Cune! Cune!" with a loud shriek Walking Wake landed on top of the crystal charging up a Hydro Steam at Inteleon.
Before the Hydro Steam could be unleashed Great Tusk and Iron Valiant knocked Walking Wake over with Close Combat and Megahorn sending Walking Wake tumbling into the sea.
"Alright, let's get going" Great Tusk announced.
"Wait no we can't just leave the Psychic type Tera-Crystal is still on that island" Flygon responded.
"I don't think we really have a choice" Pelipper appeared carrying Bramblin and Glimmet in her bill.
A swarm of Team Galactic grunts was rushing toward the Doc chasing the rest of Goh's Pokémon.
"Hurry we got to get out of here!" Greedent shouted holding the fainted Lokix with Spidops.
"Also I don't want to bother any of you but the boats currently leaving" Bombirdier scoffed.
"Ah, the ship hurry we got to catch it before it hits open water!"
Everybody scrambled onto the boat Great Tusk had to throw Lokix onto the boat.
"Viri!" behind Inteleon Iron Leaves came running charging up a Leaf Blade.
"Sayonara you weirdly shiny antelope/deer thing" Inteleon made it onto the boat avoiding the slice from Leaf Blade.
The boat sailed back towards the mainland bug Tera-Crystal in tow although the Psychic type one was left to team galactic.
"Hey, Pelipper do you know where your owners and Meowth went?"
"Probably in the water, I'm sure Veluza is taking good care of them" as if on cue a loud thrashing came from outside Great Tusk and Iron Thorns hauled the Team Rocket trio and Veluza out from the water.
"Well I wouldn't call this a complete disaster," Inteleon said cheerfully.
"Inteleon the Psychic Tera Crystal is in the hands of Team Galactic that was one of the ones we were supposed to get" Flygon replied.
"Well you win some you lose a Galarain Arcticuno besides isn't that bug Tera Crystal pretty? right Lokix?"
"Inteleon I swear you are so dead when I wake up" Lokix mumbled in a knocked-out state.
"What's he on about?" Stantler asked.
"Oh you know just sleep paralysis stuff you know probably about getting knocked out by Walking Wake"
"Cune! Cune!"
"Speaking of Walking Wake!" Maushold shouted. The strange-looking Suicune stumbled into the center of the boat a large fish in its mouth.
"Well, what do you know this day just got even better right guys?"
"How is this better?" Absol asked somewhat alarmed.
"Ya we lost a Tera Crystal and in return, we got a weird dinosaur-dog thing" Iron Valiant sighed.
"Alright as we can see you need to weaken the Pokémon before you capture it" Goh explained as he brought out his Flamigo to fight the wild Pincurchin.
Today was the first day of teaching students how to catch Pokémon he had already managed to catch 16 new Pokémon.
Flamigo was able to out-maneuver the Pincurchin's Spark knocking it out with a combination of Wing Attack and Double Kick.
"So now that you guys have seen several examples why don't you guys go out and try catching some more Pokémon for yourselves"
The students scattered around the forest and tide pools to try and catch various Pokémon.
It finally gave Goh a chance to breathe not being surrounded by students.
He finally got a chance to catch Pokémon without battling since he didn't want to go telling students to throw Pokeballs at Wild Pokémon and biting off more than they could chew.
Case in point Goh throwing a Pokeball at a Tropius only for it to break out.
"Hey, Goh!" Chloe and Eevee appeared from out of nowhere.
"Oh hey, Chloe what are you doing here?"
"I needed to talk to you a Pokémon robbed me!"
Goh stood dumbfounded at what Chloe was saying to the point he forgot to command Flamigo causing her to get hit by a Leaf Storm.
"A Pokémon rubbed you?" Goh asked to make sure he had heard her right.
"Yes I put my wallet down when I was getting a drink and this little gray-looking alien guy grabbed it and ran away with it"
Goh finished off the Tropius with Flamigo's Wing Attack allowing him to catch it.
"Is it nearby I can't leave these students alone"
"Yes why I came to ask you for help it ran off somewhere into the wilderness here and Ash and Iris were still busy in Levincia"
"Alright show me where it went"
Chloe led Goh through a patch of rocky shoreline Goh used the opportunity to catch a Mareanie with a Pokeball.
"Goh, how many Pokémon have you caught recently?"
"Well that Mareanie makes it 19 pretty impressive right?"
A wild Toxapex blocked the path Goh sent out his Arctozolt to face it down.
"Goh what's going on?" Chloe asked him suspiciously.
"Nothing much just enjoying all the new Pokémon here in Paldea and it's a good opportunity to pick up some Pokémon I missed in other regions.
Arctozolt overpowered Toxapex's Liquidation with Bolt Beak letting Goh catch it with a Dive Ball.
"Goh you don't randomly go and catch twenty Pokémon in a day this isn't like you"
"This is my first chance to catch Pokémon here in Paldea I've just been inching to work my way up to Mew"
"It's not just that you've seemed kind of off since we've got to Paldea you seem to be out of it like your always daydreaming or something"
"Mabey I've just had a lot on my mind I have my parents coming here on Monday and I'm gonna be seeing them for the first time in months"
"Oh, well I'm sure that's going to be fun I don't think that I've properly met your parents"
"Ya, I'm sure that it will be fun" Goh sight he was defiantly not looking forward to this little excursion with his parents.
"Hey, Chloe is that what you were talking about?" Goh pointed to the edge of the seaside where a strange tiny gray humanoid was running across the rocks.
"Yes, there it is that's after it!"
Goh ran after the strange humanoid who dove inside a small chest filled with coins. He pulled out his Pokedex to see the information.
"Gimmighoul the Coin Chest Pokémon This Pokémon was born inside a treasure chest about 1,500 years ago. It sucks the life force out of scoundrels who try to steal the treasure. It lives inside an old treasure chest. Sometimes it gets left in shop corners since no one realizes it's a Pokémon."
An Alomomola and Lumineon jumped out of the water to attack. Goh sent out his Arctozolt and Flamigo to deal with them.
"So what do you think your gonna do when your parents get here?" Goh was extremely annoyed. Why couldn't Chloe just take the hint he didn't want to talk about his parents.
Flamigo and Arctozolt dodged a Water Pulse and Aqua Jet from the two Pokémon knocking them out with Double Kick and Wild Charge allowing Goh to catch them.
"Look the Gimmighoul it's getting away!" Goh yelled chasing the little spirit as it rolled down the hill in its chest.
Goh and Chloe slid down the hill after the Gimmighoul.
Mabey it was because he wasn't fully focused but Goh missed the Gimmighoul and ended up falling straight into the water.
The Gimmighoul was cornered by Chloe's Eevee and charged at her with Astonish trying to scare Chloe off obviously it didn't work. Chloe's Eevee returned the favor using Copycat sending the Gimmighoul chest flying off the cliff.
"Pokeball go!" Chloe shouted throwing a Pokeball at the coin chest. With three shakes the Gimmighoul was caught resulting in Chloe's wallet falling out onto the rocks.
"I got it!" Goh shouted as his Flamigo hauled him out of the water.
"I wasn't expecting you to catch the Gimmighoul"
"Well my dad told me that as a researcher that I should have more Pokémon than Eevee to defend myself"
"You do know that thing is like super hard to evolve right?" Goh didn't remember the exact way that Gimmighoul evolved but he knew that it was something ridiculous.
"Why did you want it? you said yourself that you've caught like 20 of them correct?"
"No, you can keep him I need to get back to my students anyway" Goh huffed storming off back to his students.
"Go Mismagius Thunderbolt!" Iono commanded, Mismagius shot off a bolt of electricity shards of bright yellow flickering from the Terastallizeing.
"Alright, Gallade counter with our own Terastallizeing" Rinto announced throwing out his Tera orb. Earthy brown crystals burst into the air forming an earth-shaped dome on the Blade Pokémon's head causing Gallade to be unaffected by the Thunderbolt.
"Now use Close Combat!"
Gallade lunged forward hitting Mismagius with multiple swift blows knocking out the Magical Pokémon from the damage that his Lapras and Krokorok had done earlier,
Rinto had easily won the gym battle 3-0 only losing two Pokémon.
Once the formalities were done and Iono had given him the badge Rinto slipped his phone out of his pocket to check his messages.
Most of them were standard messages from a news article about how Geeta once again lost to Diantha 0-3, a couple of messages from Rika asking what was taking him so long at the "store" and one missed call from an "unknown number"
"Hello"
"There you are what took you so long?" the galactic grunt demanded.
"Sorry, sorry with league rules it requires that gym leaders battle me at full strength"
"Anyways is Iron Leaves under secure confinement"
"Yes it's in its Pokeball safely locked in a locked, confined space under my bed"
"And that sister of yours she isn't going to find out correct?"
"You can tell Saturn that you don't need to worry about that Rika won't go looking through my room"
"Excellent, anyway there's something more important that I need to tell you"
"Yes, and what is that?"
"As you know we lost the Bug-Type Tera Crystal to Goh's Pokémon and Team Rocket today"
"Yes I'm very well aware of that at least we got the Psychic Type crystal and Mars said that's the one important for finding the regional legendary birds"
"That's true but the admins say that we need to put a stop to this. They've stolen three of the six Tera Crystals we've found we need to stop this tic-for-tac before they get their hands on the Dark and Fighting Tera Crystal"
"What do you want for me I'm already training Iron Leaves for you"
"Hey don't get testy with me that's not the only thing they stole Walking Wake and its Pokeball are currently missing we believe that it's with Goh's Pokémon right now"
"So you want me to go get them for you?" Rinto scoffed.
"Hey you agreed to this you battled Ash last year correct?"
"Yes I battled him twice"
"Then you need to get closer to Ash Ketchum again we need you to get Walking Wake back its an extremely powerful paradox Pokémon so I encourage you to get it back"
"Yes sir I understand"
"Good" the grunt on the phone hung up leaving Rinto to scratch his head the phone conversation had made his head ace from getting knocked out worse.
Rinto decided it was best to get home he didn't need his sister or parents figuring what was going on Rika had already been giving him the side eye when he said he was at the "store"
The last thing he needed right now was for Geeta to find out about his plan.

Not really have notes for this one just sorry it took so long I didn't have much motivation to write big chunks each day.
The 2 chapters have a big focus on Florian since he's starting to lag behind story-wise.
So stay tuned.
