We got dat second chapter... MMMM!

"Back on the road!" Cass smiled, "I love Route 201!"

Saria burrowed into my coat and muffled something about hand flem...

Wait... "Hand flem?" I chuckled. My Eevee's head popped out and frowned, "No! Sandgem. I wonder what Sandgem looks like!"

We all laughed, and we kept walking forward. I heard a rustling after a few more steps.

"Hey..." I muttered, "What's that noise."

Saria came out again, "It sounds like talking." She hopped out and went into a bush to the right. Cass and I followed suit.

We came out to see two people swiping up Saria. She squealed and the crooks looked up at us, and the male one laughed through his black mask-like cover, "Haha! We got one now!"

Cass frowned and tossed out a pokeball, "Fritz! Icy Wind!" The Ice-type bear came out and blew out chilly winds towards the crooks. The other one, the female tossed out a pokeball, "Help out Team Plasma! Use Bite, Patrat!"

Sure enough, a scary looking Patrat came out and tried to avoid the winds blowing towards the crooks. It was no match, though, and was frozen solid.

"Yeah!" Fritz smiled and did a little jig.

"Try to break free Saria! Use Dig!" I called. Saria successfully did so after biting the man's fingers. He squealed and let Saria go, and she dug down into the ground.

Her paws broke out of the ground under Patrat and sent it flying into a nearby tree. The Patrat was knocked out clean.

The goons both gave us dirty looks, "No one messes with Team Plasma! We'll be back!" They slunk back into the shadows.

"Hey wait! You Plasma... people!" Cass howled and tried to chase after them. I stopped her and we both continued onwards. My head wrapped around their words... "We'll be back."

-(-)-

Saria was hurt pretty bad, so I placed her in a special pouch in my bag. She slept soundly.

We were at the part were we supposed to go up hill. My Poketch, the watch I mentioned before, almost fell off when I tripped over a Burmy.

"Oh!" I apologzed, "I'm sorry!" It smiled and hopped away.

Cass shook her head, "You really should be more careful..."

"Meh, meh..." I mocked and I realized the hill was going on a less of an incline. Soon, after a bit more hiking I heard a river babbling. Cass and I both ran towards it, and knelt beside it. Peering in it and sipped from the clean water. I put my hands on the soft dirt and relaxed. My mind was racing beforehand, but the thoughts seemed to leave my head as we kept out at the river.

"Alright Angel, come on out!" I called and tossed up a pokeball. Out came the little Togepi, who plopped down happily.

Cass smiled and tossed up her two pokeballs, "Let's go gang!"

Chloe climbed onto Cass's head and Fritz climbed into her bag. She frowned, seeing her two pokemon being lazy.

"Your hat's much better than NIck's," Chloe noted, but Cass just looked like she was exhausted.

Then, something came across the river, contrasting in the broad daylight. A white pokemon, that I had only seen once in a picture book.

Cass recognized it, too, "Wow! An Absol... I hear, they only come to warn those of... danger."

"Wait," Fritz popped out, nibbling an Oran Berry, "Danger?!"

The Absol hopped over the river, and went between us. I turned around, and followed it with my eyes.

More goons were sneaking up behind us! The Absol was warning us about them.

"No!" one growled, "Stupid Absol! You're just a worthless troublemaker!" Another hissed.

The Absol growled and sent out a burst of flames that went out in a star position.

A lady growled avoiding the flames, "Ah, a Fire Blast, huh? Then come on out Sudowoodo!"

A tree-like pokemon appeared, but I knew they were actually rock types.

"Sudoooo" it growled and the Abosl peered back. I knew I couldn't just sit there and watch, and as I realized I needed to do something, another Plasma dude sent out a Trubbish.

"Alright! Angel use Extransensory on Trubbish!" I ordered and Angel did so, closing her eyes as the Trubbish held it's head.

It moved back in forth moaned, "Buuuu..." it groaned.

"Trubbish, snap out of it!" it's owner called.

The female didn't care about us, it was obvious she now wanted the Absol. "Alright, Sudowoodo use Brick Break!" The Rock-type pokemon shouted out, "Ruudo!" as it's 'leafy' arm slammd down on the Absol's back. Cass ran over to it, but Sudowoodo used another Brick Break.

"Chloe!" Cass called, "Use Thunder Wave! Fritz, Icy Wind!"

I nodded, "And Angel, you use Metronome!"

The Joltik hopped over Cass in slammed it's tiny arms into the earth. A wave electricity paralyzed the Sudowoodo, and Fritz snorted up his mucus and blew out cold wind that KO'd the Trubbish. While this happened Cass snapped her head towards me, "Are you crazy, Metronome is completely random. We don't know what's gonna happen."

Angel's arms went back and forth and in about three seconds she stopped and I replied, "That's the fun of it."

The Togepi's arms went outstretched and circles of water slammed into the Sudowoodo. "No!" the goon screamed, but the man gripped her shoulder. The Sudowoodo lost and the female spat out rude curses and the Plasma goons collected their pokemon.

We sent our pokemon in their pokeballs and we ran over to the hurt Absol. Together we rushed into the coming night, towards the bright lights of Sandgem town.
