The sage
The fight was epic worthy of a mural in a museum, or that's what Touya would want to say, since he was only a recruit with a legion of Patrats.
"That was very disappointing" Touya said with a depressed aura around him.
"Sawk" Sawk said also disappointed.
"Well, hand over the skull you stole and go before you cause me another disappointment" Touya said with an annoyed tone.
The recruit on his side looked hopeless and lost as he handed the skull to Touya and Touya saved it in his bag.
"Does this mean that our goal will never come true, that the big N's wishes will not be fulfilled?" the team plasma recruit said in a muted tone.
'N?' Touya thought surprised.
Just when he was about to ask an old man dressed in a green robe suddenly appeared.
"Oh, an honorable member of the seven sages!" said the recruit, quickly regaining hope.
"Please forgive me for failing you and not being able to achieve our goal!" the recruit said with some kind of faith towards the old man.
"Don't worry little one, a recent investigation showed us that the Dragonite skull is not what we need, the big N will not be upset with us" said the wise man with calm and great faith.
'What the hell, he's more brainwashed than ordinary recruits' Touya thought in shock.
"But on the other hand, we will not tolerate those who oppose our objective, you should not get in our way" said the sage as he shot Touya a threatening look.
At that Touya and Sawk were on guard for the next fight.
"Ah, finally" said Camus appearing out of nowhere.
"I heard the bug-type pokémon making a ruckus so I came here" Camus said to Touya and then looked at the sage.
"It seems that someone important arrived, did you come to take revenge on your fallen comrades" Camus said with a mocking tone.
At that moment Aloe also arrived.
"Touya, Camus!, Those guys didn't have the skull, and who is this?" Aloe asked, still very agitated.
"I am one of the seven sages of the team plasma, Ghechis is also one of us who advocates for the liberation of the pokémon, we only spread his word to everyone" said the sage with calm and faith.
"You are Aloe specialist in normal type and you are specialist in bug type Camus, meet your enemy and you will have the victory" said the sage and then throw a pokeball from which a Mandibuzz came out.
Said Mandibuzz radiated a menacing and powerful aura, scaring those present a bit.
The sage then went up to the Mandibuzz with the recruit and said.
"But know something, the ideal of our leader will come true and no one will be able to stop us" said the wise man and then left with Mandibuzz.
"These idiots are really a big problem, and we can't follow them since none of us have a flying type pokémon" Aloe said with annoyance.
"The worst thing is that we couldn't even retrieve the skull" Camus said helplessly.
"Actually, I took it from the recruit and his legion of Patrats" Touya said as he pulled out the skull.
"Well done Touya, you really are a very promising rookie, we'll meet again!" Aloe said happily as she took the skull and ran towards the city.
"What a great speed" Touya and Camus said in shock.
"Well, I'll be waiting for you at the next gym, we'll meet there" Camus said and then went on his way.
"Sawk" Sawk said to Touya.
"Yup, we will have to go back to the city, I want to sleep" Touya said in a tired tone as he looked at dusk.
After fighting with some trainers who were out there hunting bugs and Dewott learning Fury Cutter, Touya returned to Enamel City.
Along the way, Touya began to reflect on everything that had happened.
'What will be the real objective of the team plasma?, After this I would consider it more like a cult and now it turns out than that guy called Ghechis is not the boss, the boss is that green-haired man who seemed so kind' Touya thought with concern.
'Something is wrong, I doubt he's a bad person, his pokémon loves him very much and I would have realized just by looking at him' Touya thought as he searched for an answer.
"Hey Touya!, How did it all end?" Cheren asked appearing next to Bel.
Touya came back to reality and said.
"It's a long story, can we go to the pokémon center first?, This day was very long and stressful" Touya said in a tired tone.
"Sawk" Sawk said also without energy.
"I'll tell you everything in the pokémon center" Touya said as they all walked towards there.
Upon arrival, Touya explained the whole situation to them.
"I see, but now it turns out that boy is behind all this, I feel like something is wrong" Cheren said thoughtfully.
"Yes, that's what I thought, but for now it's no use thinking about that" Touya said sitting tiredly.
"In that you are right" Cheren said with understanding.
"Bel, be careful with those guys, if you find them call me or Cheren, but don't face them alone" Touya said with concern.
"O-ok" Bel said a little sad.
"I'm not saying you're weak, I'm just saying it's better that we face them together" Touya said quickly understanding.
"It's not fair if you can hear what I think!" Bel said angrily but also happy.
"Huhuhu, no one can hide from me" Touya said with confidence and a smile.
And so ended the second day of the adventure.
