Bridging The Gap; The Final Records In Unova: An Autobiography

Of Splicing Men Part 2 Of 2

My mouth was probably wider than it had ever been in my entire life as I screamed my head off, terrified of the spiders that I could feel crawling all over my body.

According to Kai, there were lice around here, too.

I felt like I couldn't breathe anymore, but I opened my mouth and somehow screamed, long, loud, until my throat ached and was sore and dried out entirely.

June's screaming tore through my eardrums.

Even Kai was calling out for help.

A scream escaped my throat one more time as I felt tiny legs running across my stomach. "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLP!!!!"

A strange cry rang out amongst the screams.

Before I could remember what the familiar noise was, "AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" A painful shock tore through my body.

Kai screamed as well, but I didn't hear June.

My body twitched in pain and I laid against the web, drained of my energy.

"Galvantula?" June called.

"Galvantula!" I heard the familiar response of the electricity slinging spider.

The web shook as something moved across it.

My entire body was tingling from the feel of the bugs and a different kind of stunned, twitchy pain. Something walked by my head and I gasped when I saw the enormous spider walk by me.

"Galvantula!" Galvantula said happily, waving her creepy feeler looking appendages at June.

June laughed and sniffled. "Galvantula! I can't believe you're here! What are you doing here?"

Galvantula spoke to June.

"Oh, Galvantula! Thank you! You kept a cool head and handled everything perfectly! Now, I need you to free Gary and Kai and me by using your Slash attack!" June ordered.

Galvantula raised one of her appendages as it glowed white, and she swiped down at June, freeing her instantly from the strings wrapped around her.

June stood up carefully, stumbling around on the web, her foot getting stuck on the sticky surface every couple of steps. She fell at one point, landing next to Galvantula, and pulled her into a big hug. "Thank you, honey. You were wonderful! Now, please, help our friends." She turned to Kai and I and pointed at us. "Go!"

Galvantula disappeared from view as she went to free Kai as June stood up, shaking her coat, pants legs, and hair, dead insects falling from her. I felt the web move as Galvantula walked over to me and raised her claw to Slash at me, too.

"Easy!" I screamed in fear, and closed my eyes.

"Galvantula!" She sliced away my webbing with one swipe.

I got to my feet immediately, frantically shaking out my clothes, running my hands through my hair, the dead insects falling from them, and only stopped when I was sure they were all out, although my skin continued to crawl as if insects were creeping all over every part of my body continuously. Rubbing my arms rapidly, I faced the spider Pokemon. "Galvantula. You saved us."

"She was with Burgh, with your Galvantula, Kai," June explained to her. "When Burgh attacked us, they knew they were outnumbered. Burgh tried to convince them to be with him, free of Poke Balls and humans. Galvantula told me that they both went along with Burgh, pretending to be on his side. They helped Burgh put us in this web, and then my Galvantula went back for us while your Galvantula was distracting him. Burgh has a really evil plan, but I don't know what it is."
