Ch. 3: A Burmy Disaster
We were in Jubalife City the next morning. It wasn't even noon by the time we arrived. We decided to part ways and meet up later
Well, I have to go to the Pokemart to get some supplies, Marc said. He left afterwards. Eli, still being seven, took one look at an ice-cream cart and followed it.
I was left alone to wander the huge, crowded streets of the city.
Jubalife didn t change since I was here last. The billboards still port-rayed the same useless items; I saw one with a picture of a jewel impeded pokeball. The same old streetlights were still there and the benches were still the same. Later, I found myself in an abandoned part of the city.
The area was made of alleys and a small park. Houses, and other buildings, were left to rot. Shadows moved often but those were probably Pokemon. I wobbled the alleys trying to find a place to sit. All of a sudden, the ground started shaking. A stampede of Pokemon was heading my way.
When people imagine stampedes of Pokemon; they think of Tauros or any big, heavy Pokemon on a rampage. The Pokemon heading towards me were neither big nor heavy. Infact, they were Burmy, yes Burmy, and there was a good thousand of them. All of them were trying to find something to cover themselves in.
My body started to numb from the pain. Shadows started to grow even though it was just after noon. I started to relax as I blacked out.

I woke up much later, the sun had long set. Even though I didn't know how long I was out, the moon was high and the Morning Star wasn't visible.
I found my way back to the place I last saw Marc and Eli. The streets were so different at night. The once crowded area was now empty, only a few ghostly people stalked about. The noise disappeared, replaced by a dead silience. The streetlights gave out a mysterious, dim was almost...creepy.
I'm not the person to scare easy. It's just that when a city turns into a ghost town whithin a few hours, things get freaky. I just needed to get to the Pokemon Center, the place I knew where Marc and Eli would be.

Finding the Pokemon Center was harder than I thought. I mean, the city is different at night. I got so lost, I couldn't tell a trashcan from a bench. I couldn't reconize anything.
I was getting more tired each step I took. My ankle still needed rest and I felt sore from all those Burmy. It felt like hours since I woke to the eeriness of the city at night. It felt that any moment now, the sun would peak over the horizon.
The ground once more trembled. I looked back to see the same group of Burmy running in my direction. I ran for my life, not caring where I would end up. True, I had Pokemon, but they could only protect me for so long. Soon, or later, they would faint.

The Pokemon Center finally came in view! I was saved! The only problem was the Burmy. Left and right, they continue to follow me. I was getting to my limit. I tripped as the doors opened and fell onto the plush carpet.
"Where have you been?" A voice that I wished was there spoke up.
"'Evening Marc, where's Eli," I said nervously.
"It's more like morning, it's 5 a.m." I was up that long.
"I sort of, kind of, got lost"
"No kinding!"
"I doupt you want to know the details."
"Let's just go to the room."
"Oh NO, I'm not staying at the Pokemon Center!"
"It's free to stay, the only thing you need to pay for is the food." As much as I wanted to admit it, he was right. I unwillingly followed Marc.

This chapter is very short and is basicly filler but I think I did OK. I wanted to update earlier this week but the universe loves to prove me wrong. My computer is acting up, yet again. I'm still considering putting Oc's but I will at least put a form.
