Chapter 2: New Friends and Old Ones

Pikachu, Piplup, Oshawott and Charmander ran down the pathway. They had arrived at the Aqua Zone.

"Over here!" The group turned to see Chikorita, Snivy and Tepig waiting for them. Pikachu ran over to greet his friends. "How's it going Pikachu?" Asked Chikorita.

"Awesome thanks to all you guys! Best surprise ever!" Everyone was glad to see that Pikachu was happy.

"So, Pikachu. Why don't we go have some fun?" Suggested Tepig. "While we're all together, we should do something before we separate."

"Why don't we go check out the attraction?" Snivy said eagerly. "It's run by Barbaracle!" So the friends set off to find Barbaracle.

"Hey guys! Check this out!" Piplup pointed out a sign. Prepare for the Legendary Pokemon! The Gathering of Legends is Almost here! "What's the Gathering of Legends?" Asked Piplup.

"It's the day when all the legendary Pokemon gather on top of Aerial Peak." Piplup spun around to see a blue frog Pokemon.

"Who are you?" Asked Piplup.

"Name's Froakie, and you are?"

"I'm Piplup and these are my friends Pikachu, Charmander, Oshawott, Chikorita, Tepig and Snivy." Introduced Piplup. "We were trying to find the attraction."

"Sorry Piplup." Apologized Froakie. "The attraction is closed. Barbaracle's been gone for a while."

"Aw man..." Pikachu mumbled.

"Why don't you ask his little brother where he is. His name is Binacle." Pikachu thanked Froakie and set off with the others to find Binacle. They found him by the shore.

"Hello! Are you Binacle?" Asked Oshawott. Binacle nodded. "Do you know where we could find your brother?" Binacle froze.

"N-n-n-n-no..." Oshawott raised his eyebrow. (Again, pretend he has an eyebrow.)

"You're sure?" Binacle stuttered until he burst out into tears. "Whoa! No need to cry!" Oshawott rushed over to comfort him.

"H-He was kidnapped. S-someone named Phantump took him."

"Dang..." muttered Pikachu. "Just when I thought I'd be having a perfectly normal journey we find out that there's a kidnapper loose."

"Don't worry. We'll find him" Assured Oshawott.

"Well if you want to play hero, you're not going without me!" Announced Froakie who had been watching this entire scene from the shadows. "But first, you'll have to beat me in battle!"

Me: It's kind of rushed but I want to get straight to the action. Please review!
