Shinxy allowed his Mew to stay out of it's pokeball to enjoy the rest of their journey together. Shinxy: Hey, Tom! You think you could do me a favor? Tom: What's that? Shinxy: Can you leave your boat at the dock for a while? After I've beaten Volkner, I'll have my eighth badge and I'll want to go to the Battle Frontier. Tom: Sure thing, bud, but you gotta pay for a second trip. Shinxy: Of course! Altan: You're feeling rather confident, aren't you? Shinxy: After my battle with Candice, kinda! My pokemon have gotten much stronger since I talked to Volkner before. Crystal: Don't forget that Volkner is supposed to be the strongest gym leader in Sinnoh. Mewtwo: He's also the last one for Shinxy to beat. Shinxy: That's right! He better be ready for me! As Tom's boat made it to the port, the gang noticed and odd gathering of people by the shoreline, with cameras taking pictures. They looked over to see a large, peculiar pokemon sitting on a rock formation in the distance. It was Lugia, resting with it's wings by it's sides. Shinxy: What... is that? Crystal: I think I've seen it before, on TV shows... Tom: Well I'll be damned, I never thought I'd see Lugia with my own eyes! Altan: Lugia? Tom: Yeah! It's a legendary pokemon that lives on the sea floor! It's so rarely seen that some people think it only exists in mythology. I guess it's stopped by Sunnyshore to roost. How lucky we are to get to see it in person! Shinxy: That's incredible... You guys think I can catch it? Altan: I don't think that's a good idea. Tom: You should listen to your pal there. Legend has it that Lugia can stir up mighty storms by flapping it's wings, and I don't want your antics capsizing my boat! Mewtwo: I can sense a massive amount of energy reserved in Lugia's body. It would be wise not to anger it. Crystal: Well, at least we can enjoy this moment from safely far away. Shinxy: Yeah... Hmmm? Shinxy noticed Volkner and his friend, Felix talking further away from the crowd. With Tom's boat docked, he jogged down the ramp and headed over, Mew floating over to sit on Shinxy's shoulders. Shinxy: There you are, Volkner! And Felix, what are you doing here? Felix: Hey there, Shinxy. It's nice to see you. I just wish the circumstances were better. Volkner: So we meet again, Shinxy. I take it your arrival here means what I think it means? Shinxy: That's right! I've got all the other badges from Sinnoh, yours is the only one left! Volkner: Is that right? I'm sorry to say I can't battle you now. This other young man here has brought a very urgent matter to my attention. Shinxy: What?! Is it about Lugia? Look, I'm sure it won't get mad and stir up storms or whatever legend says, let's just battle! Volkner: That's not it. Felix: Shinxy, Team Galactic is on their way here to capture Lugia. The boss himself, Professor C. and his commanders will get here any moment. Adam is outside the gate waiting. Shinxy: That's nuts... Volkner: Our battle is going to have to wait, Shinxy. There's no way I'm letting those creeps set foot in my city. We'll stop them at Route 222. Felix: What about the residents? Should we tell them what's going on? Volkner: There's no need for that. Team Galactic won't get passed me. Volkner hurried over to the front gate, and to Route 222 to guard the entrance to Sunnyshore City. Just then, Altan, Crystal and Mewtwo headed over to Shinxy and Felix. Crystal: What's going on? Why did Volkner leave? Altan: And why is Felix here? Felix: Team Galactic's boss and his commanders are on their way here to capture Lugia. Adam is already waiting outside the front get to defend Sunnyshore City, and Volkner went to join him. Crystal: That's crazy! Mewtwo: But not surprizing. Felix: You're all welcome to join us, actually I insist you do. Shinxy: No problem! ...Wait, I gotta make a call first. I know someone that could help us. Felix: Okay. Meet us outside when you're done. Felix headed outside the front gate, and Shinxy pulled out his pokegear from his bag and pulled up his contact list. Altan: Who are you calling? Shinxy: Dreike! He gave me his pokegear number when we met on Mt. Coronet. He said I should call him if I need his help, and this seems like the time. Dreike answered Shinxy's call in only a few rings. Shinxy: Dreike! That Professor C. Guy you were talking about on Mt. Coronet is about to show up at Sunnyshore City... Yeah, the legendary pokemon, Lugia is here and he wants to capture it... I heard it from a friend who's like a double agent, just please hurry and get here... okay, great! Altan: I take it he's gonna come here? Shinxy: Yeah, he said he was gonna get here as soon as fast as possible. Crystal: That's great! Dreike and Terra are really strong, with them helping defend the front gate of Sunnyshore City, along with Felix, Volkner and us, there's no way Team Galactic will get to Lugia! Shinxy: Exactly! Oh, I should also call Joey. He's a great pokemon trainer too, and the more help we get, better! Shinxy tried to call joey, but no response came from his call. Shinxy: Hmmm, he's not picking up. Since he was a couple badges ahead of me when we met up in Pastoria City, he might be busy challenging the Pokemon League now. Suddenly, the crew heard unusual muttering among the crowd of people. They looked over to where Lugia was, and found the legendary pokemon was missing. What they saw in it's roosting spot was a man standing on a submarine with a Master Ball in his right hand.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t | \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
