(Koda's P. O.V)
We walked for quite awhile now. We traveled through 2 cities before we got to the Mobius Grand Desert. That gave us enough time to get supplies for the trip in the desert. Sammy decided to get a couple of bottles of Sun block so none of us got burned. Me, Violet, Cherry and Neon got the bottles of water. In case we get thirsty.
Sam, Manny, Ember, and Amber got more of the food supplies for the trip as well. Sammy managed to pay for all of it. But, the cashier is quite familiar with our parents and said that we didn't have to pay for it. We all waved to the cashier as we left the store and kept walking for a good distance. Then, we finally came to the desert. We all groaned from exhausten.
(Normal POV)
The children started to walk again through the desert. They kept walking for a good 30 minutes.
Chase (panting): HOW LONG IS THIS DESERT?!
Koda (looking at him with a stern look): Remember Chase, we came here because, we're looking for a Chaos Emerald here. That's what the map said.
Agu (jumping on Koda's shoulder): Boss? How do we know if we find the Chaos Emerald this time? There's nobody to talk to here in the desert.
Koda thought about that. He didn't know whether or not if they should look in the sand. Then, the Chaos Emerald started to glow again. Koda pulled the emerald out and saw that it was glowing a little bit more than usual
Sammy (looking at the emerald): Oh my gosh! Koda! This is not only a emerald, but it's also a radar to see how close we are to the next Chaos Emerald!
Ally (jumping on Koda's other shoulder): Swooo, how cwose are we, Swammy?
Sammy (grabbing the Chaos Emerald from Koda): Hmm... Well, it should be around here... somewhere.
Everyone groaned about this. Koda noticed that the sun was going down.
Koda (looking at everyone): Well, there's no use to look for it now. I think we should set camp somewhere here in the desert.
Everyone gave Koda, a "are you crazy" kind of look. The children saw a good spot near some tree like log and decided to get some wood and built a fire thanks to Agu's Pepper Breath to lit it up. Koda remembered that they had food so, he pulled out a thing of raw fish and cooked it like his dad would do. After a while, everyone was getting ready for bed.
Koda was sitting down for it was his turn to keep watch. He looked at his friends and his siblings and saw how peaceful they all looked. He saw Ally sleeping with her new friend Bat the baby Noibat cuddling against her body. Koda let out a yawn. He saw Agu, sleeping soundly. Koda put out the fire with a bottle of water.
He lied back to get ready to go asleep. He stared at the starry night sky and he remember how him and his family would do this once in awhile. He let out a sigh. He can't stand not knowing on how his parents are doing. His eyes were getting heavy and he closed them.
They didn't know that, they were being watched by someone. The next morning, the kids got up and ate breakfast and decided to continue their search for the next Chaos Emerald. Koda used the first emerald to track down the second Chaos Emerald.
Manny (looking at Koda): Soooo, we're suppose to follow this Chaos Emerald to find the next one and the closer we are, the brighter this emerald get?
Koda (nodding): Yeah! That's how we'll find the Emerald, Manny.
Sammy (looking around): Hmm. The Emerald's glowing, but, I don't one anywhere, gang.
Koda kept looking around while holding the Chaos emerald. Then, the emerald started to glow even brighter which means the Chaos emerald was real close. Then, there was a rumble and the ground started shaking. Then out of the sand, was a Hippowdon. The kids gasped at this as they saw this big Pokemon popping out of the sand.
Dash (seeing something glow in Hippowdon's mouth): Whoa! I think I see a Chaos Emerald inside Hippowdon's mouth, you guys!
Sammy (looking at the glowing gem): He's right! Look!
All the kids noticed the emerald and gasped.
Hippowdon (looking at the children): Why are you here? Who are you all?
Koda (gulped): We're the children of the Sonic Heroes! We're looking for a Chaos Emerald in this desert and... I think we've found it too. It's in... Your mouth, Hippowdon.
The giant Pokémon looked at Koda for a minute then shook his head.
Hippowdon (glaring at Koda): No it's not, liar! Get out of here or I will make you!
Dash (glaring at the Pokémon): Forget it, Uncle Koda! He's not going to listen to us! Pat! Use your Boom Bubble!
Pat (inflates his body): Boom... Bubble
Hippowdon (digging a hole in the ground): DIG!
The Hippowdon dodged the Bubble Boom attack.
Kids: (gasp)
Chase (looking around): Hey! Where did he go?!
Koda (standing very still): Hmmm... He could be anywhere, Chase. Just keep your eyes open and your ears alert, gang. He could pop out of nowhere.
Bat (using his radar to locate the Hippowdon): Noiiii...
Koda closed his eyes and used his big sensitive ears to locate the Hippowdon. He heard Hippowdon digging up towards them.
Koda (his eyes opened wide): EVERYONE! JUMP NOW!
Kids (jumped out of the way): WHOA!
Hippowdon (jumped out of the ground): Aaarrggg!
Shade (growled): Grrr! This is ridiculous! We can't get the Chaos Emerald like this, Koda! We need to fight back!
Koda (looking at Shade with a stern look): No, Shade! We don't!
Shade (chuckling sarcastically): Well, talking to him won't help us either, Koda!
Shade pulled out his Pokéball.
Koda (grabbed Shade's arm): If you are planning on using Luxy again, then forget it! Hippowdon is a ground type. So, it won't be effective.
Shade (growling): Dang it! Then, what do you think we should do, genius?
Koda (looking at the ground) : I don't know right now, Shade. But, we mustn't fight him. If we do, if will only make things worse!
Shade (pushed Koda aside): I don't care! We have to get that Chaos Emerald or the world won't be saved!
Shade ran off to the Hippowdon and threw his Pokéball.
Shade (threw his Pokéball): GO! LUXY!
Luxy (came out of the Pokéball): Rawwrrr! What do you need Shade?
Shade (pointing at the Hippowdon): Use Thunderfang on that Hippowdon!
Luxy (her fangs started to glow and started to run towards Hippowdon): THUNDER...
Koda (sitting up and growling): Stubborn hedgehog!
Then one of his pokéballs opened on its own. Revealing Goob the Goodra.
Goob (noticing that Koda was on the ground and helped him up): You alright, Koda?
Koda (dusting himself off): Yeah. But Shade is attempting to use brute force to get the other Chaos Emerald from that Hippowdon. He's using Luxy, but she's an electric type Pokémon which, will have no affect on a ground type like Hippowdon.
Goob growled and ran towards Luxy.
Koda (calling to Goob): GOOB! WAIT!
Meanwhile, Luxy ran towards Hippowdon.
Luxy (jumping in the air and towards Hippowdon): FANG!
Goob (still running towards Luxy): STOOOOPPP!
Goob (mouth started glowing): DRAGON... BREATH!
The move hit Luxy on the side.
Luxy (yelling): AAAAHHHHH!
Shade (starring at Luxy with shock): LUXY!
Hippowdon (making a hole): DIG!
May (pointing at the escaping Hippowdon): Look! He's trying to get away! Pala stop him!
Pala the Palmon (vines came from her hands): POISON IVY!
The move missed the Hippowdon and disappeared from sight.
Amber (gasped): He just disappeared!
Ember (looking around): Where'd he go?
Diamond (looking at the 2 sisters): We don't know where he went, darlings. But, he could have gone anywhere.
Shade (glaring at Koda and Goob and growling at them): Now look at what you both did! Because of you 2, that tubby Hippowdon got away with the second Chaos Emerald!
Diamond (placing her hands on Shade's shoulders): Now, now big brother. It wasn't Koda's fault for loosing the Chaos Emerald.
Shade (pushed Diamond's hands away and glared at her): Of course it's his fault, Diamond! It's also that stupid Godra's fault too for attacking Luxy!
Koda (growled at Shade): He's a Goodra for starters, Shade! Second, it was actually your fault for loosing the Chaos Emerald, not mine!
Shade ran towards Koda then disappeared. Koda looked around to find the black and white hedgehog. Shade appeared in front of Koda and punched him in the face.
Koda (skidded across the ground and flipped back into a fight stance): *pant, pant* Is that all you got, you coward?!
Shade (let a sly smile slide across his mouth): Well, if you want more...
Shade (jumped in the air and his hand started to glow): Then, I'll give you more! CHAOS SPEAR!
Koda barley jumped but, still got attacked and was blown away and smashed into a big bolder which caused it to break into small pieces.
All the kids (but Shade): *Gasp* KODA!
Shade walked over to Koda and stopped dead by Koda's injured body.
Koda (trying to get up): Nnnngg! I-Is that all you got still?
Shade (grinned and placed a foot on Koda's back and pushed him back down on the ground): Stay down if you know what's good for you, you little brat!
Cherry (grabbed her taser gun and pointed it at Shade's back): Shade! Get your foot off of one of my older cousins, now! If you know what's good for you!
Shade chuckled and did as he was told.
Shade (kept looking at Koda, but was talking to Cherry): I would put that taser gun away if I were you, Cher...
Shade (turned around quickly): Or your going to hurt someon-!
Out of reflex, Cherry pressed the button causing the taser to shot out and grabbed Shade and tazed him.
Shade (being tazed): Nnnggg!
Shade fell down to the ground in a weird froze like position. His eyes were crossed and tongue was sticking out.
Cherry (reeling the taser back in the gun): Well, lucky I'm not you, pretty boy! Sorry, but nobody hurts Koda and gets away with it! *blows on the gun*
Argyle (ran over to Shade and examine his weird body position): Dang, sis! Where you learn how to use a taser?
Rector (looking at Cherry with a confused look): More likely, where'd you get a taser gun from?
Cherry (giving both her older brothers a smile): Mom suggested that I should keep one with me. So, daddy gave me one. Just iincase something like this happens.
Agu (ran past the 3 siblings and ran to Koda with Goob right behind him): Boss! Boss! Wake up! Are you okay! Oh Chaos, please tell me your not dead?!
Laura-Su ran over to Koda and placed 2 fingers on his neck and sighed in relief.
Goob (looked at the guardian with concern eyes): Well, Laura-su? Is Koda going to be alright?
Laura-Su (looking at the Goodra with a smile): Yeah! He's going to be fine, Goob. But, I think he's needs to rest and possibly needs some patch-up on his wounds. On top of all that, he's going to make a full recovery.
Agu and Goob sighed with relief. Goob walked over to Koda and picked him up.
Manny (walking to Goob and the others and looked at his injured older twin brother): Well, we better find a place to rest and heal him, dudes. The sun is going to go down soon!
Sam (looking at Manny and nodded): Your right, bro! We better find somewhere to rest for the rest of the day.
The others nodded in agreement. So, they walked to go find some place to rest. Argyle was pulling the passed out Shade by his leg and dragged him across the sand. Later that evening, Koda finally woke up from earlier. He sat up and looked behind him and he realized that his head was laying on Goob's body like a pillow.
He put his hands on his head and felt a bandage around it. Then, he remembered what happened and groaned a little. Goob's eyes opened slowly and looked up at Koda and lifted his head up slowly.
Goob (sighed with relief and looked at Koda with his gentle smile): Thank Chaos, your okay, my friend!
Koda (looked at Goob with a confused look): Where are we, Goob?
Goob (looking at Koda with his same smile): We're still in the desert. We're just resting until morning and when you recover from the battle you and Shade had.
Koda (his eyes widen): Oh my bob! What happened to Shade?!
Goob (chuckled a little): Heh, heh! He was going to finish you, but Cherry tazed him. So, he passed out.
Koda chuckled a little. Then, he looked around and saw everyone else asleep, well all except for Shade, who was by the camp fire and and kept poking it with a long thick stick. Koda felt bad for fighting him and Cherry tasing him. So, he got slowly and walked over to Shade and sat down next to him.
Shade (knew Koda was sitting next to him, but kept poking at the fire): What do you want, Koda?
Koda (looked at Shade with a guilty look): I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for losing the Chaos Emerald and for Cherry tasing you.
Shade (still not looking from the fire, but, sighed from guilt): I'm sorry too. For blaming you and attacking you for it. I should've listen to you and went with your plan and tried not to attack that Hippowdon.
Koda (smiled and brought his hand up in front of Shade's face): Then, leit's get that Chaos Emerald back! As a team! What do you say, Shay?
Shade (gave Koda a glare for calling him "Shay", but, smiled in determination and grabbed Koda's hand. Kinda like a bro thing): Alright! We'll get it back as a team!
Koda nodded and got up and walked back to Goob.
Shade (thinking to himself): Hmm... Why do I feel so good all of a sudden? Oh, well. I hope... No! We better get that Chaos Emerald back! So, we can stop that Dark king from taking over the world!
After that, Shade put out the fire and went to sleep.
