A Hero's Prodigy
Chapter 3,
The package!
Hey guys! DatEevee1178 here with chapter 3! This chapter should be longer than the last two if the length of them bothered you. So I haven't got any OC's or any plot ideas so yea. But anyhow, any reviews are welcome; if you see a mistake tell me and I'll do my best to fix it. So remember, review and respond! Without further ado…
Jake gazed up at the buildings towering over him. He let out a short whistle and laughed, "Those are some tall buildings." The girl next to him snorted.
"You're such a dweeb." She laughed at Jake but couldn't help but feel amazed by the buildings around them as well.
"Shut up Elizabeth. So where's the hotel where we had our reservations at?" Elizabeth pulled her map out of her pocket and unfolded it. She studied it for a moment before refolding it and stuffing it back in her pocket.
"About 20 minutes away. It's called Hotel Eloise. Let's hurry before it gets too dark." She briskly turned and started walking down the road. Jake held back and pulled a white pokeball off of his belt. He enlarged it then tossed it in the air. A bright light came out of it and out of the light came a small ball of brown fluff. Jake caught the pokeball and clipped it back onto his belt.
"Sorry Eevee, but we're almost there." Eevee uncurled itself then sat down and yawned. he shook his head before jumping onto Jake's shoulder. Jake took off at a light jog to catch up to Elizabeth. He slowed down as he neared her till he was walking next to her. "I'm going to wake up early tomorrow to go get the package, then I'll meet you at the entrance we came in at."
Elizabeth nodded. "Okay, that works cause it takes me a while to get ready. You might also want to make a stop at the pokemon center while you're at the pokemart, Eevee might be a bit banged up from the battle with that sentret." Jake nodded and looked over at Eevee.
"Yea. You hear that buddy? We'll get you checked up on tomorrow." Eevee looked at her and nodded.
"Vee!"
"Here we are." Jake turned to look at the building they stopped next to. He nodded then walked in. What he saw left his mouth hanging. The Ceiling had a crystal chandelier and was shining in the light. The whole place looked like it was made for people like the professor.
Jake shook his head and looked over at Elizabeth, who was likewise had her eyes wide and was staring at all the expensive glasses and clocks and whatnot. Jake laughed and shook her shoulder to snap her out of it. "Hey Beth, come on!" Elizabeth shook her head and glared at him.
"It's Elizabeth dweeb." She crossed her arms and huffed. Jake ignored her and walked over to one of the attendants at the main desk.
"Excuse me, but we have reservations here for two rooms." The attendant looked him over then smirked and scoffed.
"Are you sure you have the right hotel sir?" The attendant's "Sir" was practically dripping with sarcasm. Hearing this, Jake pulled the professor's card out of his pocket and showed it to him.
"Yes I'm sure. The esteemed professor Elm himself reserved us two rooms." The attendant's eyes widened and he gulped before smiling nervously. Elizabeth walked over smirking and pulled out her own room card.
The attendant looked over at her nervously before looking back at Jake, "O-Of course you do sir. I apologize for questioning you. What are your room numbers?" Elizabeth answered before Jake could.
"Rooms 328 and 331." The attendant nodded quickly.
"Follow me to your rooms." He walked out from behind the desk and approached an elevator. Jake smirked and followed him as Elizabeth had her arms crossed and had a triumphant grin on her face, walked next to him. The attendant pressed the elevator button and the door opened. The two teens walked in first with the attendant following.
The attendant pressed the 3rd floor button and the elevator doors closed before it started moving up. A minute later the door opened and the three walked out onto the third floor. The attendant walked down the hall before stopping at room 331. Elizabeth nodded at Jake muttering a, "Good night." before walking into her room and closing the door.
Jake followed as the attendant kept on walking and then stopped at another door. "Thanks." Jake nodded at the attendant who was rubbing his fingers. "Nice try, next time you want a tip, don't count people out just by their looks." Jake smirked before going into his room and closing the door.
Jake looked around the room, it wasn't much. A bed, a small fridge, a TV, and a desk with a light on it. The bed had dark red comforters and the pillows were white. Jake yawned and Eevee jumped off his shoulder onto the bed. Jake took his bag off and set it next to the bed. He got undressed down to his underwear then folded his clothes and put them back in his bed. He set his poketch to wake him up at 6 the next morning then crawled under the covers. Eevee curled up next to his head and yawned. "Vee."
"Good night Eevee.""
Jake narrowed his eyes and looked around. He didn't recognize where he was. Heck, he didn't understand where he was! It seemed like he was floating in the air but he could feel solid ground beneath his feet. He looked down at himself and saw he was fully dressed. Strange, he didn't remember getting dressed…
He cupped his hands over his mouth and shouted, "Hello!? Anyone there!?" There was no response for a minute, and Jake started to assume he was alone before he saw a huge figure approach him. Jake looked at it for a moment then felt another presence behind him and turned around, seeing another giant figure. He couldn't make them out, seeing how they were covered in mist, but he felt an… aura of power around them.
"The three have been found," Jake jumped as he heard a voice. Well, heard isn't the right word. The voice seemed to come from his head. "The world is under great danger." The voice sounded deep, like a male.
"The three chosen must be united to fight off the growing darkness." A different voice sounded in his head, this one sounded female.
"The three are different, yet the same," The male again.
"The three are strong, yet weak," The female.
"They must prove themselves worthy…"
"...or the world…"
"...and universe…"
"Shall be no more!" The two voices spoke in unison. Something appeared out of the sleet, showing an image. Three figures surrounded by dozens more. Two of the three, however, were glowing. One in gold, the other in silver. The image faded away and the two huge figures, who Jake assumed the two voices came from, started to fade out of view.
"Wait! What do you mean?" Jake ran after one of them, but the more he ran the farther away the figure got. His body suddenly pitched forward and he fell. A moment later there was a splash and he was submerged in water. Jake struggled for a moment before his body went limp and he felt himself losing consciousness. Right before he faded away, he heard the two voices speak in unison one last time,
"The three, will save us all."
Jake shot up from his bed, no, not his, the hotels. He was breathing deeply and had sweet running down his forehead. Jake looked around and took a shaky breath. He put his head in her hands as he rested his elbows against his knees. 'What was that? A vision? What the heck was it…? No… It must have been a dream. Yea, that's it, just a dream…'
Jake looked up and glanced over at the clock on the bedside table. It read 6:42 am.
He shook his head before getting out of bed and reaching for his clothes. He grabbed his shirt and was about to pull it over his head when he got a whiff of it. "Ugh!" He shook his head and crunched up his nose. He looked around and spotted a washer near the bathroom door. Jake gathered up his clothes and tossed them in the washer. He set the washer then walked into the bathroom. While his clothes were washing, he might as well do the same for himself.
About 10 minutes later, Jake stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He pulled his clothes out of the washer and put them in the dryer. While he waited, he made the bed, and explored the room, snagging any of the small bottles of shampoo, body wash, or soap. By the time he had a dozen or so bottles, his clothes were done and he pulled them out of the dryer. He got dressed then walked out of the room. He took the elevator down to the first floor, and promptly left. He saw the attendant from the previous night in the lobby and smirked at him, causing the attendant's face to go red with anger.
Once outside, Jake took a deep breath and released Eevee from his white pokeball. The hotel didn't allow pokemon in the lobby. Eevee yawned before hopping onto his place on Jake's right shoulder. Jake chuckled "Come on buddy, let's get that package and you to the pokemon center. Jake started walking down the road, taking in the sites around him. The town was definitely busier than Newbark Town.
Jake spotted all sorts of pokemon out, walking next to their trainers. Most of he didn't know. One of which was a short version of a giraffe. I's front end was yellow and back was brown, and its tail ended in a ball… With a face? Wow.
After seeing a variety of new pokemon, he spotted a red building at the end of the street with a big red pokeball over it. "There it is buddy, let's get you checked out." Jake looked over at Eevee and smiled. While he was distracted however, he failed to notice the man in black standing in an ally way.
"I have eyes on one of them." The man spoke into a walky talky. "Yes, the boy." Got it." The man put it away before stepping out of the ally and started following Jake.
Jake stepped into the pokemon center and looked around. It had a few trainers around laughing and joking around. He walked up to the counter where a nurse was standing. She had pink hair and had a cheery smile.
"Welcome to the pokemon center, is there something I can do for you?" Jake nodded and Eevee jumped off his shoulder onto the counter.
"Can you do a quick check up on Eevee for me?" The lady nodded.
"Yes but I need your Eevee's pokeball." Jake nodded before pulling the premier ball off his belt and returning Eevee. HE handed it to the Nurse and she walked into the back room. Jake turned and walked over to some couches and sat down. HE looked around before he heard a voice.
"Hey you!" He looked around before spotting the group of trainers. One of them was looking over at him and was waving him over. "Over here!" Jake stood up and walked over.
"What's up?" The one who waved him over smiled.
"Your new here, I've never seen you in here before."
"Yep, I'm here from Newbark town on business for Professor Elm." The kid blinked and his eyes went wide. "Wow, for Elm. You must be pulling my leg." The kid laughed. "The name's Josh." He put his hand out to shake. Jake shook his hand.
"Jake Silverstone. And I wasn't messing with you. Look." He reached into his bag and pulled out the Professor's card that was to get him the package." Josh was about to speak but the intercom interrupted him.
"Jake, your pokemon are ready." Jake nodded before looking over at Josh.
"Well it was nice to meet you, see ya." Jake nodded at Jake before walking over to the counter. Josh responded before turning back to his friends.
"See you." As Jake was walking over to the counter, he saw a man in all black walk into the pokemon center. He got a bad vibe from the man but shrugged it off. HE went up to the counter where the nurse was with Eevee's pokeball.
"Your Eevee is just fine." Jake smiled.
Thanks." He grabbed the premier ball and let Eevee out before clipping it back onto his belt. He turned and started to walk out of the center when he saw the man in black stand up and follow him. Jake frowned but kept on walking. He went out and went to the building next to the center. The building was smaller than the center, and had a blue pokeball above it, the pokemart. Jake walked in and went up to the counter. HE had to wait for the man to finish with another customer before he got to Jake.
"Hello there young man, how can I help you?" Jake pulled out the professor's card and showed it to the clerk.
"I'm here to pick up the package for Professor Elm." Jake smiled as the man inspected the card before he nodded and went into the back room. He came back a minute later with a small package.
"Here you go, give the Professor my best would you?" Jake nodded and put the package in his bag.
"I will, thanks." Jake walked out of the center and saw the sun shining over one of the buildings. "Come on Eevee, let's not keep Elizabeth waiting."
