Chapter Two: Unexpected Help
As per usual disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon.
Sorry about being late I had to buy a new computer my old one got stolen.
-Sora's POV-
As we began to go back to the group after seeing Serenity and that riolu giving commands to the pokemon, we tried to leave as quietly as possible but unfortunately I accidentally kicked a rock.
"Shit!" I said under my breath.
As the rock skidded across the room it finally stopped on the other side of the hall. For a moment the talking in the room stopped and the voice that belonged to whom I assume the riolu said. "Tom go check what that was."
A voice which was Tom's said, "Dude, it was a rock."
"I can see that smartass, now go check what moved it," he snapped.
"Fine, fine I'll go check out the rock," Tom sighed.
I motioned for Yuki to back against the wall into the shadows. If Tom came too close to where we were I would have to try to take him out silently. However, when he got to the entrance of the hall I could see what pokemon he was: a zangoose. He looked around the hall halfheartedly, sighed and then turned back heading back into the room.
"Not a thing in there dude," he said plainly.
"Okay well let's try this again. I want you guys to go around these ruins and find the gem," Serenity said.
"And Tom?" asked the riolu.
"Yes, Scott?" He said in exasperated tone. Scott must be the riolu. I thought to myself.
"Since you went through all that trouble to check the hall, how about you pair up with Amber to check the atrium."
"It's cool with me as long as Amber is cool with it," Tom said.
" I'm definitely okay with it. Scott, you said the room to the left of the atrium, right?" said a voice that must've belonged to Amber.
"Yes, Amber," said Scott tiredly.
It seemed that they were creating groups to go around the cave ruins to find this "stone." I think though I knew what the stone they were looking for was the one I found earlier. But before I could even pull the stone out of the bag a group of pokemon entered the hall. They didn't look our way thankfully. When we were sure that it was safe to leave our hiding spot we snuck back to the main room. As we were on our way there we noticed that there were more pokemon from before in the ruins. As we headed over to the rest of our group I accidentally bumped into a zangoose who must've been Tom.
"Dude, watch where you're go- Oh it's you two." he said while getting up.
"What are you talking about?" I asked, trying to act innocently.
"You two were in the hallway earlier. I could trace your scent." he explained.
'If that's the case, why didn't you rat us out to Scott?" I asked.
"Because Scott is a cocky punk," he stated coldly.
"He didn't seem like it," I said remembering seeing Scott and Serenity up on the pedestal.
"That's because the new girl keeps him in check, don't know how though," he wondered aloud.
"I would expect so since that's how she acted as a young vulpix," I said, thinking back to my childhood.
-In a flashback 3rd person-
"C'mon Serenity! You too Yuki we finally get to explore outside the village!" a young Sora exclaimed excitedly.
"We're coming, Sora. Just calm down," yawned Serenity as she walked across the room to the door.
"Fine, fine I'll wait but you guys move way too slowly, in my opinion." he said.
As Serenity and Yuki neared the door, Sora held the door open for them and then went through and ran straight for the gate to the village.
"I'll wait for you guys by the gate!" he said before dashing off towards the gate.
"Does Sora have any other friends in the village?" asked Yuki as she and Serenity headed to meet up with Sora.
"Well, I'm not surprised to hear you ask that considering you just moved here about a month ago," she said with a chuckle. "He's pretty much friends with everyone here, although Madison has been acting chummy with him. He probably doesn't realize how much she likes him though," she said.
"I hadn't noticed that. I wonder if he likes her too," Yuki said sounding a bit depressed.
"Wait lemme guess you like him too? I always thought you two had the whole brother and sister thing going on. Although I would approve you over Madison," Serenity said laughing.
Yuki looked at her paws while blushing."I-I kinda like him, but it's hard to tell what he's thinking sometimes." she said.
If Serenity heard her, it wasn't obvious. She was rolling on the ground laughing. When she finally finished she got up and started walking over to the gate where Sora was waiting.
"C'mon Yuki lets not keep Sora waiting any longer you know how impatient he is," Serenity said.
"Yeah…" she replied embarrassed and walked with Serenity to meet up with Sora.
"It took you guys long enough to get here why did Serenity start laughing all of a sudden?" he asked.
"It just so happens that Yuki likes-" Serenity started but Yuki then cut in.
"I-it's nothing we were having a bit of a talk and it got a bit weird that's all."Yuki interrupted with a blush on her face, which caused Serenity to start laughing again.
However Sora seemed unconvinced but decided not to press the issue. Instead he decided to wait until later and ask Serenity what she was going to say before Yuki had cut in.
However this is a story that will continue later…
-End Flashback-
-Sora's POV-
"Sora stop reminiscing and remember the task at hand," said Yuki.
As I came back to the present, I remembered that I was talking to Tom about Serenity and Scott.
"So what is that group you're in up to exactly?"
"Like I have any idea only the admins know," Tom replied
"You guys haven't found anything?"
"Well there is a huge door back in the furthest back room. Although no one know why it's there, it just gives off this creepy vibe," he said.
"We'll go check it out," I stated boldly.
Our conversation went one for a few minutes longer before we said our goodbyes. After which we set out to find the rest of the group. When we found them, we told them the situation. Then we set out for the back room. As we arrived at the room, I saw why the room seemed to give off a bad vibe. The door had ethereal lines of energy running on the surface, yet even though it was beautiful it still gave off a odd aura.
"Well, guys, let's see what's beyond that door."
"You sure about this man?" asked Flare nervously.
"Yeah, I mean does anyone even know whats through there?" added Sarah.
"C'mon guys where's you're sense of adventure?" asked Yuki.
"That's right, Yuki!" I agreed as I walked up to the door and pulled it open. It was like a hole in space, nothing was there and yet there was something there.
"Well guys into the darkness," I said.
As we stepped beyond the door in to complete and utter darkness.
