The sound of Pokéballs bursting opened came from outside the door, and a moment later we could see who burst open the door and what was making all of the racket.
Three familiar faces came through the door:
Tupp, Rapp, and Zipp spread out across the Lab along with their Pokémon Zubat, Hypno, and Alolan Rattata. The three Team Skull grunts had smirks adorned on their faces. Zipp smugly claimed that last time we met we got lucky and that this time we wouldn’t get off so easy. Tupp laughed in agreement, and Rapp chimed in saying that this time they had back up. A moment later, two more people walked through the door. As they stepped inside, Zipp informed us that the bosses wanted to have a word.
A man and a woman walked inside. The woman had four long violet and yellow pigtails, two coming down on either side of her face and had an unamused expression, and the man had somewhat spiked white hair with goggles on his head. The man let out a loud laugh and placed his hands on his hips. He told us his name was Guzma and he was the “big bad boss”. He gestured to the woman and said her name was Plumeria, his second in command. They were the leaders of Team Skull. They had heard about our altercation and wanted to make sure our group knew who was in charge on the island. They’d also heard about Mr. Oak and his eggs and demanded we hand them over. Lillie gasped and gripped her egg, ducking down trying to hide. Guzma laughed again and indicated that he knew Lillie, but that he didn’t have time to get into all that. Guzma and Plumeria let out their own Pokémon, Guzma’s being a Gollisopod and Plumeria’s being a Salazzle. Those were powerful looking Pokémon!
Hau instantly let out his Popplio and Pichu and I let out Munchlax and Litten. Professor Kukui also stepped up along side Hau and I and let out his Rockruff. Hau yelled at Team Skull, claiming that they were nothing more than bullies, and Professor Kukui said that there was no way they were getting the eggs.
Guzma glared at our group and began to instruct his squad to attack, when a siren rang out from outside. Rapp looked outside the nearest window, and said that Office Jenny was approaching outside and asked Guzma what they should do.
Guzma’s glare intensified. He paused and then let out an aggravated shout, and told everyone to recall their Pokémon. Everyone did so, and Guzma walked closer and got right up into Professor Kukui’s face and whispered that this wasn’t over.
Professor Kukui didn’t even blink. He simply smiled whispered back to for him to bring it.
With that, Team Skull took their leave.
Office Jenny rushed in moments later and took our statements. Joel excitedly recalled the entire event. Professor Kukui got on the phone and called Professor Burnet to inform her of the ordeal. Mr. Oak stepped outside and brought in his luggage. Professor Kukui invited him to stay at the lab so that they could both research the egg and Pokémon once it had hatched and also so if Team Skull ever decided to make a second appearance than there would be strength in numbers.
Hau and I helped Lillie come out of her hidey-hole. We asked how she knew Guzma, but she refused to tell us, apologizing profusely. I told her it was ok, and that she could tell us when she was ready. Hau smiled and said that if Team Skull ever came back that they would protect her and the egg.
Lillie smiled back and thanked us. She let out a sigh of relief and help her egg even tightly.
I have a feeling this wouldn’t be the end of our encounters with Team Skull.
