If you were wondering why it took me so long to post the next story, it is because I am still looking for names, and I was waiting for some names to come up. I waited two weeks since I posted the last chapter of the prequel to this story, but no reviews! None! Zip! I am still looking for names, but, anyways, next story, pronto!
The Long Way Home
Prolouge
Six months after the three-some of Turtwig, Mudkip, and Riolu made it to the new continent and back to Wigglytuff's Guild, Team Sky was walking through Corrupted Jungle on a rescue mission. Riolu's arm had healed a month before, so he was able to go on missions with the rest of his team. He was still pondering about his past, but that was not what was on his mind at the moment.
"Something is definitely wrong here," he mumbled to himself.
"And that would be?" Vulpix asked, who was walking right beside him. She had calmed down a bit since Riolu had come back, just like back on the old continent, as they called it.
"How many floors have we been through?" Riolu asked.
"One hundred and fifty, give or take," Vulpix replied.
"And how many pokemon have we faced?" Riolu asked.
"About ten," Vulpix replied.
"Isn't that a bit fishy, at least?" Riolu asked.
"We probably just got lucky," Vulpix said.
Riolu just sighed and shook his head. He knew something was wrong, yet no one would believe him. He quickly took lead again, with Vulpix behind hem, and Turtwig and Mudkip behind her, talking to each other.
When they finally reached a clearing, Riolu saw their main objective, an Omanyte that had fainted, which was highly unusual. Riolu was about to say something before Turtwig sped past him towards the injured Omanyte, and Riolu went chasing after him, knowing something was happening.
Before Turtwig could save the Omanyte, Riolu had caught up to him and spun him around.
"Don't you see that we could be in huge danger right now?" Riolu asked.
"Danger from what?" Turtwig asked, looking around. "I don't see anything."
Riolu didn't hear him, since he was focusing on his aura-sensing powers, and, for once, was glad that no one else had followed them.
In a full circle around the clearing, in the trees, were fifty aura signatures, all bad.
"We're surrounded," Riolu said, coming out of it.
"Hehehe, someone is the observant one," the Omanyte said, getting up. "Our masters had wished for wall four of you to come into the clearing, but this will have to do."
With that, the fifty pokemon, some Kabutos, some Omanyte, came flying out of the trees, towards the two, and, before either could mutter a word, they were knocked out.
Hmm? Masters? Who could these be? Also, I just realized how close my team is to the main characters in PMD: Black Hole Sun, or something like that. The only difference is that mine has a Turtwig (a favorite pokemon of mine) instead of a Treecko, but that is it. Anyways, R&R, and I will see you next time!
