It was now
nighttime in Slateport, and Rakki was sleeping in a jar. He was woken up when
Arnaldo used Rock Throw on him.
"Rakki."
He said with a French accent. "Suivez-moi." However, Rikki didn't
understand what he meant. "Follow me." Rakki followed Arnaldo to an
(fake) underwater volcano called Mount Solgaleo. Redeye, Baburu, and Bloat were
dressed in Alolan attire and chanted in some Hawaiian dialect. Ruby and Tate
were holding leaves and waved them as Arnaldo and Rakki swam by. Yasei was
waiting at the top, and Baburu, Bloat, and Redeye were still chanting. However,
when Yasei put up his pectoral fin, they stopped.
"State
your name." Said Yasei.
"Rakki."
Said the Luvdisc.
"Brother
Bloat, proceed." Said Yasei, as he switched places with the Qwilfish.
"Rakki,
newcomer pink and heart-shaped." He began. "You have been called
forth to the summit of Mount Solgaleo to join with us in the fraternal bonds of
tank hood."
"What?"
Asked Rakki.
"We
want you in our club, kid." Said Ruby.
"Really?"
Asked Rakki.
"If!"
Said Bloat. "You are able to swim through the Ring of Fire!" Bloat
was excepting bubbles to come out, but nothing happened.
"Turn
on the Ring of Fire. You said you could do it." He said to Arnaldo, and he
started running on a wheel, making bubbles burst out.
"Through
the Ring of Fire!" Shouted Bloat. He, Baburu, and Redeye started chanting
again. However, Ruby was against it.
"Isn't
there another way?" She said. "He's just a boy!" However, Rakki
made it through the 'Ring of Fire' easily.
"From
this moment on" Declared Yasei. "You will be known as Sharpedo
Bait."
"Sharpedo
Bait. Hoo ha ha!" Chanted Baburu, Bloat, and Redeye.
"Sharpedo
Bait is now one of us." Said Yesai. "Agreed?"
"Agreed."
Answered the other fish.
"We
can't send him to his death." Said Yasei. "Kiki's coming in five
days. So, what are we going to do? I'll tell you what we're going to do- We're
gonna get him out of here. We're going to help him escape."
"Escape?
Really?" Asked Rakki.
"We're
all gonna escape." Declared Yasei.
"Gill,
please." Said Redeye. "Not another escape plan."
"Sorry."
Tate agreed. "They never work."
"Why
should this one be any different?" Asked Bloat.
"Because
we have him." Said Yasei, pointing at Rakki.
"Me?"
Asked Rakki.
"You
see that filter?" Yasei asked Rakki, holding him towards the filter.
"Yeah."
Answered Rakki. "What about it?"
"You're
the only one who can get in and out of that thing." Replied Yasei.
"What we need you to do is take a pebble inside there and jam the gears.
You do that, and this tank's gonna get filthier and filthier by the minute.
Pretty soon, May has to clean the tank by herself. And when she does, she'll
take us out of the tank, put us in individual Poké Balls, then we roll
ourselves down the counter, out the window, and into the harbor! It's foolproof.
Who's with me?"
"Aye!"
Said Bloat.
"Aye!"
Said Tate.
"Aye!"
Said Baburu.
"Aye!"
Said Arnaldo.
"I
think you're nuts." Said Redeye. "Sorry, Rakki, but you're not the
best swimmer."
"He's
fine!" Said Yesai. "He can do this. So, Sharpedo Bait. What do you
think?"
"Let's
do it." Replied the Luvdisc.
