After we were all seated Grandad sighed. "Well in all my travels I have never met something this devious being planned, even Jesse and James were taken aback by how sickening this plan is"
"What do you mean grandad?"
"Yea Gramps what's up?" Arion looked as confused as I did
"Rebecca knows what I'm talking about don't you?" Grandad waited for a response and Rebecca nodded then he continued "The Dark ones plan on wiping out every single champion, elite four member and gym leader. While their doing this they plan on capturing and killing every single legendary... including poor Leet."
"Someone has to stop them!" Arion was out of his seat obviously angry
"Right, and I want you three to journey together in hopes of stopping them. Certain legendaries might join you on your quest, or at least aid you. Also Lyre will be meeting up with you all, I've already called him." Grandad was dead serious, which is scary since he always is calm and cool.
"And what is I don't agree to travel with these fools?" Rebecca was looking away
"Well that's your decision, but you and I both know you won't be able to do it on your own. And Rebecca please let them help, these two are good guys, and Lyre while headstrong is a very nice guy too, I'm sure you'll meet others on your journey. I'm trusting you three." Grandad spoke directly to Rebecca but it seemed like he was making the offer to all of us.
"Well Grandad I'd love to help out here.. but I'm not exactly able to help out..." It was true I could support them while traveling but once we get to the action I'll be borderline useless.?
"And what makes you say that my boy? Hmm?"This seem more like my grandad, joking and such.
"Well I don't have a pokemon nor am I a trainer"
"I beg to differ, who is the one who works extremely closely with Leet day in and day out, even when I'm here. Who is the one who cares for him meticulously, who knows his least favorite and most favorite foods and games? Gee that sounds like you Drake, wouldn't you agree Arion?" Grandad spoke very proudly of me
Arion nodded grinning "You bet it Gramps, if anyone can keep that temperamental legendary in check its you, and you need to keep him safe too."
"SO it's decided then, you three will head north towards Viridian City, Go to the gym and talk to Silver, he can offer some help, and he will know where his granddaughter is. Lyre will meet up with you at the Pewter City Museum, he has a gift for you Drake. From there I suggest you head to Bill's house to see which legends in the area are most likely to be of help." Grandad listed this all of so fast, it was breathtaking, it seems likes this was planned out by someone else, my Grandad is smart but not very organized, besides he and Silver are on bad terms. No someone else was orchestrating this, I'll find out too.
We were all walking in silence. It felt odd, being a trainer. I kept Leet outside his pokeball, he hated it in there. As for Rebecca her Umbreon, Luna, I think it was, walked beside her. And Arion had his Espeon. We made it along the road to Viridian City, it only took us a couple of hours, it wasn't very eventful, no trainers, no wild pokemon, no Dark Ones. It was strange and it put me on edge. I'm not sure about the other two. But Leet picked right up on it. Typically when I walk around with him he runs around all over the place, carefree and enjoying being out. Today he was checking everything making sure it was safe. I can't blame him for being agitated. I'm glad I brought my New York Mankeys bat. It'll come in handy for sure. Arion went to the pokemon center, he wanted to gather some more supplies. Grandad had supplied us with plenty of food and other camping supplies, but we didn't have a lot of medicinal supplies. So Rebecca and I went straight to the gym. Silver met us at the entrance. His fiery red hair matched his attitude. Probably part of the reason he never got along with my dad.
"Sup pipsqeak, goth girl." Silver looked as smug as ever
"Look old fart, we just want the info you have for us, if you don't want to tell us we'll just leave you to your diaper." Rebecca kept the icy tone in her voice the entire time.
Damn she was mean if you pissed her off, remind me to stay on her good side.
Silver's eyes narrowed, uh oh she really must have pissed him off. "Well you have guys, that's for sure. Fine you wanna know about my good for nothing weak granddaughter. She is off prancing around at contests. She should be hiding out at Saffron City right about now. Now leave me alone, losers" With that Silver walked back into his gym. Damn that guy was insufferable. Worse than Gary on a bad day. Speaking of Gary, I haven't heard anything through the vine about Taylor, I wonder how she is holding up. Well I can't worry about that right now, We need to grab Arion and head into the forest.
Hope I'm not overwhelming you guys with characters. I'm trying to make this seem big, like Red and Silver can't just whip out their starters and clean house like in the games. I want it to be a little bit bigger.
