Zinta could hardly wait.Today was the day his parents would let him
challenge another pokemon because they knew that was his birthday
wish.they had already got the opponent weakened up.Zinta walked to
a large open sand feild were his parents were holding down a
cacnea.The Trapinch hurryed to his parents very excited.The two
Flygon announced their rules of fighting."ALL POKEMON ARE TO STAY
IN THE ARENA.ALL POKEMON ARE TO BE FAIR.ALL POKEMON MAY HAVE THREE
ORAN BERRYS BROUGHT FROM HOME.LET THE FIGHT BEGIN".The Flygon flew
to Zinta and gave him three oran berrys.Zinta used sand tomb as the
cacnea struggled up.The cacnea was sent flying up and fell with a
thud.Deafeted,the cacnea was transported to a desert hospital.The
Flygon flew proudly to Zinta.They cheered and gave him a gift.Then
they told him sadly that they have to leave now that he can defend
himself and thats why they never let him fight another
pokemon.Zinta screeched and hopped,crying as his parents left
him.He ran in the direction he saw them go but quickly lost their
trail.He kept running in the same path until he screeched to a halt
near quicksand.Before he could run it swallowed him up. Zinta awoke
in a dark place.He felt sand fall on him from the top of were ever
he was.As his eyes adjusted'he could see sevral other pokemon
hovering over him.One of them walked over and bent down to stare in
his eyes.He could make out the form of a Sandslash.He knew that it
must be thee leader of the other pokemon because they were all
sandshrews.The Sandslash carryed him to a room while asking him
many questions.When the entered the room'the Sandshrews all had
bottles around there necks.they were filled with quicksand that
still moved down like it did when he fell in.He noticed that there
were other pokemon too.There were Baltoy and Cacnea along with the
sandshrew.He thought he saw other Trapinch but wasn't sure.The
Sandslash handed Zinta a bottle of quicksand and told him that it
would protect him.Zinta felt a rush of energy in his body and he
darted to a room were he heard water.When he approched the water
the quicksand stoped flowing in his bottle.The water rippled.A
Gyradose flew out and the group of pokemon told the Trapinch that
this Gyradose has plagued them for years.The pokemon fought for two
days with the Gyradose.After the battle the pokemon cheered and
walked to a large room were a long stone slab waited,covered in
different food.Before the pokemon stuffed themselves Zinta's
quicksand stopped flowing in it's bottle and time stood still.Zinta
krept to the food and took a bite.He then started to gobble down
lots of the food but let enough for the others.When he got full
time started back.The Trapinch knew this bottled quicksand would be
the start of great adventures and may help him find the ones who he
loved and cherished,his parents.
