"WHAT!?" Torkoal shouted waking near houses.
"Yes and Lucario and Zoroark were talking together and not fighting." Nuzleaf said
"Where did you say you found them?" Torkoal demanded
"I found them by Stone peak." Nuzleaf said
"We'll send a search party out there in the morning, good work Nuzleaf you are dismissed" Torkoal praised
Nuzleaf backed out as a Primeape walked in.
"You called for me sir?" the Primeape said kneeling
"Yes, rise,"
"I want you to take a search party to Stone peak at dawn. Nuzleaf has reported a Lucario and a Zoroark not in combat." Torkoal said
"WHA!? But how?" Primeape said shocked.
"This too is a concern to me but there is no reason to become worked up abut it. Just take Nuzleaf with you. Now go."
As Primeape walked out Torkoal sighed. "What has disturbed this balance of nature? What monster has corrupted these two Pokemon? Has he awoken once more?" Torkoal went through the possibility's. "No he couldn't be back, I put him under a ton of lava rock there's no way he could gather up that much power to lift it. But I must keep all my possibility's open."
And with that Torkoal pushed it out of his mind and left the night to sleep.
"Zoe!" I was woken by Jack shaking me frantically.
"Wha?" I said sleepily rubbing my eyes. I still wasn't use to have furry hands.
"Do you hear that?" Jack asked looking into the trees
I listened for a moment and then heard the sound a Pokemon ruffling it's feathers.
"It's probably just a Ferrow now I'ma going back to sleep." I said trying to lay back down.
"No not that the sound of footsteps." Jack said
I listened again and this time I heard them. It sounded like a whole stampede of them.
"What is it?" I asked now fully awake now
"I think it's more of the Pokemon that I saw last night."
I stood up ready to fight and just took in every sent and sound that I could. What happened next was half expected. A Diglett popped out of the ground a few feet in front of me. I screamed jumped at least 10 feet in the air. It just looked at me and jack with a blank expression and then went back where it came from.
"What the hell was that!?" I shouted at Jack
"Calm down it was just a Diglett. It was probably part of tha...!" Jack looked back towards the trees that we heard the footsteps.
A Primeape was walking towards us followed by a Nuzleaf, Snover, Ursaring, and a Gallade. Jack braced himself to fight but I just stood there frightened not knowing how to react.
"Hello there!" the Primeape said walking up, the other Pokemon behind him
"Who are you and what do you want from us?" Jack scowled
"Not in a very good mood are we? Putting that aside I'm Primeape." It held out its hand
"I can feel you're not here to make friends. What do you really want?" Jack barred his teeth
The Primeape sighed "If you insist, we were sent here to collect you two and straighten things out."
I looked at Jack with a confused looked and he just shrugged with out taking his eyes off the Primeape.
"I don't see anything wrong with two Pokemon minding their own business." Jack spat
"But that's exactly why we're here. See you are a Lucario and they don't exactly get along with Zoroark. So you two should be killing each other but you're not." Primeape said
"What does approaching us like this help?" Jack asked
"We're here to ask you a couple of questions,"
"And if we refuse to answer?"
"I brought persuasion." Primeape said waving his hand to the Pokemon behind him.
I was boiling with anger that they wanted to take us to some place in the woods. I pushed Jack aside and stuck my face right into Primeape's.
"Listen buddy, I'm not going anywhere until you tell us what you're planing on doing to us." I demanded
He stepped and and smiled "A feisty one eh? We only want to ask you two some questions."
"If you want to ask us some questions you lead us there. We're not following anybody." I said
"Then be it, follow" Primeape turned and started walking towards the trees
I followed with my nose in the air.
"No one treats me like that." I thought
Jack followed reluctantly and was closely followed by the others. It became instantly cooler when we entered the trees. It became suspiciously quiet too. I felt like people were watching, staring at me ingraining every last detail in to their minds. I could tell Jack felt the same way. Why? Because, ever since Primeape found us he had been emitting a soft glow of his emotion. He was glowing a bright red that resembled flames when he was talking to Primeape and now it was a purple with little flare ups now and then. I looked up and there were Pokemon watching us or at least in the forest. A Slakoth was silently eating leafs as it watched us walk by. We walked through the forest for about an hour before we came to a thorn wall.
"Grovyle! It's Primeape with them, open up!" Primeape shouted to some unseen Pokemon.
The next thing we know there is a hole in the thorns just big enough to walk through. There was a Grovyle standing next to the hole as we walked in. It gave me a short nod and I swear I blushed. As soon as Gallade walked in the Grovyle used grow to replace the hole. Then we walked in a giant log that was rotting, mossy and lit with torches. I gasped as we cam out of the log. There was a whole city here. Giant mushrooms glowed a verity of greens and blues from the lights inside. I looked at Jack and he was lost in the wonders of the city. Primeape stopped to let us take in the city.
"Now let's go." Primeape said impatiently
He walked briskly to a group of mushrooms that must have been leaders home. Two Beedrill stood outside the home and let us in without a glance.
