Paper Pokemon

Chapter 4: Wait, WHO saved the day?

"Guys! Help! Eyaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!"

"Huh? This way!" Jagger pointed in the direction of the scream, running towards it, Luna following behind him.

"Helllllllp meeeeeeeeeeee!" The creature tossed Rena up into the air, causing her to fall into its mouth, swallowing her whole.

"Uhh... Is that?.."

"Petey Piranha?" Just then Jagger noticed the crown on Petey's head.

"That must be Flora's Crown!" Petey turned around and noticed the two, letting out a loud roar.

"SHINY PETEY TIME!" Petey charged towards them, but they dived out of the way to avoid it. Petey had a hard time stopping and ran straight into a tree. he rubbed his head as he groaned in pain. Petey let out another roar and spat out water at them. It missed, as Petey was still a little dazed from that blow to the head. Petey then decided it was time he landed a good attack, and started to twist up.

"What's he doing?"

"I don't know, but be ready!"

Petey began to spin towards them. Luna managed to avoid it, but he hit Jagger and sent him flying back. However, the attack made Petey dizzy, and he began to wobble on one foot, his tongue hanging out.

"Jagger! Are you okay?"
"Argh... I'm fine, now it's our turn!" Jagger charged towards him, smacking him with an Ice Punch. Petey roared as he fell to the ground with a big crash. Then, Jagger noticed something.

"Luna! That bellybutton looks like a weak spot! Hit him there!"
"Got it!" Luna jumped up high and charged up a Flash Cannon, firing the large silver ball of energy at Petey, hitting him square in the stomach. Petey hacked and gagged, and then finally spit out Rena, who was covered in saliva.

"YUCK! That was DISGUSTING!" She yelled. However, Petey now got up, and Rena drew his attention to her. He ran towards Rena and smacked her away with his leaf-arms, smacking her against a tree and knocking her unconscious.

"...Typical... Oh well, Jagger! What do you say we whack this weed!"

"Even though that was a horrible pun, let's do this!" Petey shot more water at them, but this time it hit, making them soggy and incapable of movement.

"Gah! I... I can't move!"

"J...Jagger? I don't think I like the expression on his face..." Petey had a large grin on his face, and the two knew exactly what he was thinking. "Hahaha! Lunchtime!" He was just about to stuff them in his mouth when

"Payback time!"

"SLICE!"

"GRROOOOOAARRRR!" Petey's mouth was wide agape, as he fell to the ground with a mighty roar. He had a large cut on his back, courteous of a Leaf Blade from Rena.

"Next time think twice before making me your lunch!"

"Rena... You saved us! Rena actually saved us!"

"Heehee... You're welcome Jagger..." Jagger went over to Petey, and took the crown from his head.

"Jagger, maybe now you'll give me that kiss?" Rena said, bringing her face close to Jagger's.

"Yeeeeaahhh, no." Jagger responded, pushing her away. "Let's just go back to that door."

The three arrived at the door, Jagger holding the crown in his hands. He looked at the slot and saw that the crown was a perfect fit. He put in the crown. The slot twisted around, and the door opened. They went inside. They went into a large room with a pedestal in the center. There was a wall near it with another inscription on it.

"To the hero who wishes that there be light, step onto the pedestal so the guardian can test your might."

"Jagger, I think that would be you." Luna said. Jagger nodded and stepped onto the pedestal. He was suddenly teleported somewhere by a flash of bright light.

"Wha? Where'd he go?" Rena asked.

Jagger appeared in another large room.

"Hmm... So you're the hero eh? You don't look like much to me." A feminine voice said.

"Hey! Who are you? Where are you?" Suddenly a Virizion appeared in front of him.

"Whoa!"

"Heheh. Scared you didn't I? My name is Flora, the guardian of the forest. I'm supposed to test your strength and see if you really are the hero that will dispel the darkness, and are worthy of the Grand Star."

"The Grand Star? Hero who will dispel darkness? I just want to find out why I'm here!"

"Hmph. You're quite hasty aren't you? Meloetta will explain everything soon enough?

"Meloetta? Who's Meloetta?"

"Enough talk! I'm supposed to test your strength not answer your stupid questions!"

"Fine! I'll do that then!"

"Good! I, Flora, guardian of the forest, accept your challenge!"
