Chapter 2: Amp Plains
Upon arriving at Amp Plains the two companions were greeted by… well nothing. It was a desolate wasteland with a few Pokémon in sight. It was a nice day in Amp Plains. Stormy and humid. The two walked into it and Ampharos, who was carrying Shocker, put him down.
"How do you like your new home?" asked Ampharos, enjoying the weather. Ampharos was an odd Pokémon. He was tall and thin, and always, to Shocker, seemed very upbeat, almost eccentric.
Shocker could not walk quite yet, so he took a step, trying to run, and fell on his stomach. He did not cry, but started to crawl into the plains. Shocker liked the plains, as much as he could see by his limited view, but he still knew he liked it. He knew he liked the weather, he knew he liked the Pokémon of all different shapes and sizes playing and walking, he knew he liked Ampharos, and most of all he knew he liked what he saw next. Another Elekid!
Shocker crawled at lightning pace to the other Elekid. This Elekid was older than Shocker and had plain black eyes. Upon seeing shocker's eyes the older Elekid was amazed, but he didn't want any new competition so he laughed. But Shocker noticed something beyond a baby's comprehension. When he looked into the other Elekid's eyes he could feel his emotions. Shocker knew the Elekid was amazed by his eyes and that he was jealous, but as babies do, he started to cry all the same.
When Ampharos (who was now preoccupied by a baby Pikachu) noticed Shocker crying by another Elekid, he instantly moved into action. He sent a shock wave flying at the other Elekid and knocked him out. He picked up Shocker and said "Sorry about that, kiddo, there are Pokémon of all types here. Let's try not to get into more trouble." He smiled and gave Elekid a pat on the back. Elekid was right about Ampharos. What a kind Pokémon he was.
As the duo proceeded through Amp Plains they saw more Pokémon, even more Elekids, but Shocker stayed away. Ampharos had put him down again so he could see the sights on his own. Five minutes after the Elekid encounter he was smiling again, and Amp Plains still felt like home. The two Pokémon reached one spot in particular where there were many good Pokémon playing and Shocker wanted to join in, but Ampharos held him back, saying "In a minute, Shocker," Shocker didn't want in a minute. He wanted NOW! But oh well, Ampharos was his new daddy and he loved him, so he listened.
But Ampharos had been telling the truth. Shocker was going to get to play in a minute, because Ampharos led him to a spot a few steps from there, where to Shocker's great delight was his new home! It was private enough, but you could still see the young Pokémon playing. "This is your new home," Ampharos said, grinning, "Now you should go get acquainted with all the other Pokémon."
And that is what Shocker did. He crawled over to the others who all stopped playing when they saw the new arrival. Shocker felt sad, he didn't think they liked him; he turned away, but then remembered the encounter with Elekid. He remembered if he could just stare into the eyes of the children, maybe just maybe he could see what they really thought. So he did, and the children noticed to their horror his eyes turned bright red when he stared into theirs. Shocker found that every Pokémon there though he was cute and loved his eyes, and they were all happy to have a new arrival. He crawled into the middle of the crowd, and every Pokémon wanted to play with the new guy. That was the best day of Shockers, couple week long life.
That night after dinner, it was still light out. Maybe it was from the lightning, or maybe such was the nature of Amp Plains. Shocker didn't know, he just wanted to keep on going and explore. "Awww come on, you should be sleepy lil' guy, your just a baby... Fine, we'll go for a walk, but not too far, there are dangerous Pokémon here."
Shocker was delighted! He instantly got to his feet and cautiously took a step. He didn't fall over! He took another, and then another, and then faster. The two Pokémon were delighted! First steps, but what the two did not know is that he would need to be able to run and walk very soon.
They started walking, deeper, and deeper in the plains. The only Pokémon that were out were Luxios. Ampharos told Shocker, not to look into their eyes. Shocker wondered if Ampharos had figured out his power. But he figured that was impossible. He was a baby and it was night time, so things like that were a little tough for him.
They kept walking. "I think its time to- ah" Ampharos fell to the ground at a shock wave from out of no where.
"You are now encroaching on our lands. Don't hide; we will see you, for we are the masters of darkness. This is your end." Shocker shuddered and started to cry. The end? What did that mean? Ampharos stood up and grabbed the baby Elekid.
"This is it Shocker. Time to fight."
