Alright guys, chapter two! This whole story is from multiple points of view, which as I was writing, I really came to like because I feel that it lets you bond with the characters more when you know exactly what they're thinking.
-Chapter 2: Briar, the Sceptile of Wisdom-
-Briar's POV-
After Treecko fell asleep, I turned back to my mate, Basileus, and I felt like I kind of whined, "I don't want to leave him alone…"
Of course, he replied with some strategic advice, which is usually my job: "Briar, he is born now. The prophecy is starting…
I sighed, "Yes, I know… But still, it doesn't feel right…"
"We need to find the Time Walker. She will provide us the necessary power needed to complete the Prophecy."
I nodded, still not liking the idea of leaving him in the cave that we had called home for many years now, but I agreed, and Basileus smiled, "Alright, let's make it quick."
I followed him out of the cave, winding through the labyrinth that we had learned to navigate, with twists and turns all throughout it, until we came to the exit, which happened to be a steep cliff with a narrow path leading down.
Of course, I usually don't like climbing up and down every time we have to go get food, so I parachute down on a leaf that I grow from my body and then hold above my head.
I can do that, considering that I'm a Sceptile, able to control plants. Most grass type Pokemon can control plants almost telepathically, able to grow them with or without seeds, and control them to do their bidding, depending on their experience dealing with them.
Most Pokemon don't know how much attitude plants can have. They can be tough to manage, if its something like a tree, then it's easier to manage, but most grass types aren't skilled enough to grow and control trees like I am.
Even Basileus isn't as skilled in that regard.
So, after we parachuted down, we usually turn right, heading into the berry fields to get food, but today we were heading into Oppidum Town.
When its translated from Unknown text- That's the written language of the world I live in- it literally means Town Town.
Anyways, Oppidum Town is located in Draco Valley; A valley that is between Dragon mountain, which is where a lot of questionable events occur; Y'know, like giant fireworks lighting up the sky occasionally, or the beam of light that fires from the pinnacle every so-often. That kind of weird stuff.
The other mountain is the nameless mountain, which is on the east side. Nobody has decided on a universal name yet, so the Pokemon here call it the nameless mountain. Nothing strange really happens there. Sometimes we might see a few mountain-dwelling pokemon like Graveler or Machop having races down it, but that's normal.
So, Basileus and I followed the path that we had established on our treks to Oppidum Town to get there. We rarely go there, for reasons I don't like to explain, so when we do, we make sure it's important.
We didn't see many wild pokemon on our way there, so we didn't have to defend against pokemon like we normally would have had to. That was good.
So, once we arrived, I looked at Basileus before rounding the corner of the cliff that marked the entrance into the town, "Ready?"
He nodded, "Let's get this over with…" And with that, we walked around the corner into the town of shops and vendor Pokemon.
Alright, I know that this chapter is really short, but I'm working on making a lot of short-ish ones, like around 800-1400 words, rather than a few ridiculously long chapters, because that'll keep the story going for those that are enjoying it. Thanks for the review Minerva Dark Shine, your support is appreciated!
