Hey! I've had this idea for a while now but I've only written it today. It'll most likely be a two-shot, and I'll try to get the second chapter posted sometimes today or tomorrow. Enjoy and please review!
Kate's breath rose in misty tendrils before as she jogged through the castle, making sure to not step on any icy patches that would cause her to slip. Munchlax followed close behind, seemingly oblivious to the sub-zero temperatures.
The freezing air bit at Kate's fingers but there was nothing she could do about that. She needed to keep them free to work her styler.
She came to a place where the corridor split into two paths and paused, waiting for some sort of clue that would tell her which path to take.
There was small noise, barely audible. Kate set off down the left path, styler drawn and ready to deal with whatever was waiting for her.
The corridor ended in an empty room. Kate bit back a curse as she slowly entered the room. It was a dead end.
"Smell anything Munch?" she asked, hoping in vain that her partner would be able to pick up some trace scent.
"Don't bother." Kate spun around to see Ice standing in the corner of the room, a Kecleon standing beside him. He grinned almost lazily as he stepped towards Kate. "You've gotten taller Kate-noob" he commented.
"You're under arrest." Kate said loudly. "Drop any weapons and Pokeballs and place your hands on your head." She knew Ice would never obey her, but she was required to say it anyway.
Ice hummed as though he was actually considering giving up. "Nope." he said cheerfully. "I don't think so Katie." In one fluid movement, he had tossed out a Pokeball, the light melting away to reveal an agitated Golem.
Kate didn't hesitate. Instead, she started circling the Golem.
"It's been a while." Kate heard Ice say over the noise of the Golem's attacks.
"Not long enough." she managed to respond with, narrowly dodging a rock that had been aimed in her direction.
Ice laughed and Kate felt her irritation spike. That man annoyed her to no end. "Explosion Golem." The order gave Kate enough time to dive out of the way as the Golem flung itself at her.
She just about had enough time to curl into a ball and cover her ears before there was a loud bang. Almost immediately, dust filled the air.
Kate warily stood. Ice looked extremely irritated, and maybe even a little bit afraid.
Kate glanced backwards to see the door had gone. In it's place stood a large pile of rubble and a barely conscious Golem. There was no way they'd be able to get out of the room and Kate's styler had no reception so she couldn't call for help.
Despite everything, Kate couldn't help but wonder why it was Ice she would die with.s
