The next
morning, Gulliver was on a rock about to eat a Krabby, but was interrupted by a
flock of Pidove.
"Mine!
Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!" They said.
"Will
you just shut up?!" Shouted Gulliver. "You Rattatas with wings!"
Unbeknownst to him, three other Pelipper were talking about Marlon.
"Bloke's
been looking for his boy Rakki." One of them said.
"Rakki?"
Asked Gulliver. He threw the Krabby at the Pidove flock so they'll get
distracted. "Say that again! Something about Rakki."
"Some
divers took him away." Said another Pelipper.
"Last
I've heard," Said another Pelipper. "He's heading towards Slateport
Harbor.
"Ho ho! Brilliant!" Said Gulliver, and
he flew off to tell Rakki himself about Marlon's journey.
------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in the
tank, everyone was upset that they couldn't get Rakki out of the tank. Rakki
was resting on a piece of coral with a depressed look. Baburu, Bloat, Redeye,
and Tate swam over to check up on him.
"Is he
doing okay?" Asked Tate.
"Whatever
you do," Said Redeye. "Don't mention K-I-K..."
"It's
okay." Said Rakki. "I know who you're talking about." Bloat
slapped Redeye with his tail. The Luvdisc swam over to Yasei and saw him inside
the Cloyster shell.
"Yasei?"
Rakki asked.
"Hey,
Sharpedo Bait." Said Yasei. Rakki decided to apologize for what happened
yesterday.
"I'm
sorry I couldn't stop the..." Yasei interrupted Rakki's apology.
"No,
kid." Said the Alomomola. "I'm the one who should be sorry. I was so
ready to get out, so ready to taste that ocean. I was willing to put you in
harm's way to get there. Nothing should be worth that. I'm sorry I couldn't get
you back to your father, kid." Suddenly, there was a thud: Gulliver hit
the glass window, scaring May's Raichu.
"What's
the matter, Raichu?" May asked the Mouse Pokémon. It pointed to the window
using its tail. "Those darn kids. At least it wasn't an Arbok!"
Gulliver then appeared and started talking to the fish Pokémon.
"Where's
Rakki?" Asked the Pelipper. "I need to speak to him." Rikki then
swam over upon hearing his name.
"What
is it?" Asked Rakki.
"Your
dad's been fighting the entire ocean looking for you." Said Gulliver.
"My
father?" Asked Rakki. "Really?"
"He's
traveled hundreds of miles," Said Gulliver. "Battling Sharpedos and
Jellicent and..."
"Sharpedos?"
Interrupted Rakki. "That can't be him."
"Are you
sure?" Asked Gulliver. "What was his name? Named after a Gym Leader.
Brock? Falkner?"
"Marlon?"
Asked Rakki.
"That's
it!" Said Gulliver. "The little Luvdisc from Kalos."
"It's
my dad!" Said Rakki with delight. He took on a Sharpedo!"
"I
heard he also took on a Huntail and a Samurott." Said the Pelipper.
"Three
predators?" Said Yasei in disbelief.
"That's
gotta be 21 dozen teeth!" Commented Bloat.
"You
see kid," Gulliver explained. "After you were taken by Diver Dana
over there, you dad followed the boat like a maniac. He's swimming and
swimming, giving it all he's got, and then three large predators capture him
and blows them up and dives thousands of feet and gets chased by a monster with
huge teeth! He ties it to a rock, and what's his reward? He gets to battle an
entire Jellicent Forest! Now he's with a bunch of Blastoise on the West Hoenn
Current and he's on his way right now to Slateport!"
"What a
good daddy!" Said Tate.
"He was
looking for you after all, Sharpedo Bait." Said Yasei. However, when he
looked, Rakki grabbed a pebble with his mouth and swam into the filter! The
tank fish were afraid that he would be in danger again, so they grabbed a piece
of fake seaweed and stuck it up the tube. Suddenly, they heard a clank.
"Sharpedo
Bait!" They shouted, and they swam towards the filter to see if they could
speak to him.
"Can
you hear me, Sharpedo Bait?" Asked Yasei.
""Yeah,
I can hear you." Said Rakki, who was now right behind them safe and sound.
"Sharpedo
Bait, you did it!" Cheered Yasei. "That took guts, kid." The
fish Pokémon all knew what they had to do now.
"All
right, gang." Said Yasei. "We have less than 48 hours until Kiki gets
here. This tank will get plenty dirty in that time, but we need to help it
along any way we can. Arnaldo? No cleaning."
"I
shall resist." Said the Anorith.
"Everyone
else," Continued Yasei. "Be as gross as possible. Think dirty
thoughts. We're gonna make this tank so filthy that May will have to clean
it." Bloat gave out a belch, and Rakki laughed.
"Good
work." Said Yasei.
