New Chapter Up! Thanks to everyone that has been supporting me and reviewing! Again, sorry for the confusion in the first two chapters. It got me too. Anyways I made this one somewhat lengthy. (Also, no one is making suggestions for Caer's party. Guess I have to pick :D.) (People are also saying that Caer is a little bit like "Gary Stu" and I agree with them. I purposely did it so bear with me. I promise that Caer won't be like that for that long.)
"Viridian Forest! Here we come!" Caer shouted loudly to no one in particular, though drew annoyed glances from other travelers.
"Caer, please be qu-quiet. I-I hate b-bugs," Jessica said shivering.
"Girls and their dislikes...I like it..." Caer murmured because Jessica had her arms around him, scared at everything that was lurking inside the gloomy forest that towered before.
Arceus shook his head and thought to himself why Caer was who he was. Couldn't he just be a little bit more serious? Stalking quietly through the grass, the pair looked around nervously, afraid of what would come out from the piercing darkness. The only sounds were those of the Bug Pokemon, though were strangely resonating as you would hear sounds in a cave.
"Hehehehehe!" A loud crie rang out, making the pair jump.
"Keeeyaaahhh!" Jessica screamed while tightening her bear hug on Caer.
'Arceus, what the hell is that?' Caer asked fearfully, afraid that today was his last day on Earth.
'Figure it out yourself or else you'll never get far in your journey, I already helped you once,' Arceus said while yawning purposely to make Caer annoyed.
"Fine then. I'll do it myself. Go Pupitar! Pupitar?" Caer questioned, looking on his shoulder. The Rock-Ground type Pokemon was not there.
"Caer what's wrong?" Jessica asked, loosening her grip for a second and looked at Caer, who was busy scrambling in his backpack, hoping to find his Pokemon in there.
"Pupitar's not on my shoulder and I can't find him anywhere…" He said, lost and shocked at the same time. "How did he get off without me feeling it?"
"KEHEHEHEHEHE!" The crie rang out again, but louder. Jessica froze again with terror, opening her mouth to scream again but no sound came out.
"Who-who ever you ar-are," Caer stuttered nervously, "Come-come out and face me like a man."
'Seriously Caer? Anyone can tell that's a Ghost Pokemon...' Arceus finally said, unable to contain his impatience.
"Ghost Pokemon? Oh ok. Come out Ghost Pokemon...Wait a second Arceus. If the Pokemon's a Ghost Type, shouldn't he be able to sense you?" Caer wondered, very mixed up with the whole telekinesis and sensing this and sensing that.
'No. I am only heard and seen by only the two of you. Also Caer, be careful. The Ghost Pokemon has taken control over Pupitar,' Arceus said calmly.
'WHY DO YOU ALWAYS TELL ME THESE THINGS NOW?' He asked loudly telepathically (not sure how's that possible).
'Arceus, why can't you just teleport us out now?' Jessica pleaded, unable to contain her fear.
'I can, but that's cheating,' Arceus said while moving its rings on its back, grinning mischievously.
'I would flick you off right now but now is not the time,' Caer muttered as the ghost voices grew even louder. Jessica gripped Caer's hand tighter, much to his enjoyment. Suddenly, a black silhouette appeared out of the shadows.
"Pupitar! There you are! I was so worried about you!"
"Pupitar...Pupitarrr..." The Pokemon said, as emotionless as a zombie.
"He's being controlled," Jessica piped up, glad that the ghost wasn't as frightening as she imagined.
"KEHEHEHEHE!"
"It's coming from inside Pupitar," Caer whispered to Jessica, who was once again, frozen by the inhumane laughter. Suddenly, Pupitar launched up and used a strong Headbutt on Caer, making him fall on his back, groaning in pain. Jessica watched in horror, covering her mouth at the sight of Caer's crimson blood.
'Caer and Jessica, you guys must fight and overcome this obstacle!' Arceus declared loudly in their minds.
'But our Pokemon are too weak!' Jessica complained weakly.
"No.. there is one *cough* Pokemon..." Caer whispered as he forced himself to stand up and reach for a Pokeball.
"Go Magikarp," Caer murmured weakly as the Fish Pokemon came out.
"Magi-Magikarp," It said, splashing around in its red scales and fins.
"A Magikarp? Is that a joke?" Jessica asked, unable to believe what Caer had just sent out.
"No... he's just about ready to evolve," Caer stated normally, finally regaining his voice. Pupitar stared menacingly at the weak fish and prepared to finish it.
"Caer! My Pokedex says that Magikarp is only Lvl 14! It only evolves at Lvl 20!" Jessica warned, "You can't beat Pupitar with him!"
"I believe in Magikarp," Caer muttered simply.
"There's no time for crazy stuff! You almost got killed by that Headbutt!" Jessica said helplessly, fearing the worse.
"Magikarp endure the impact and use Splash," Caer ordered recklessly.
"Magi," The fish answered as it braced itself for impact.
"Tar!" Pupitar yelled as he slammed his head against the fish's hard scales, causing some damage. Magikarp then began to uselessly flop around splashing water everywhere.
"Now Lugia! Use your telekinesis to find out where the lower level Pokemon on the ground!" Caer yelled, throwing Lugia's Pokeball in the air. Following Caer's direction, Lugia located several weak Pokemon hidden inside the grass.
"Now use Weather Ball," Caer commanded, though keeping an eye on the Pupitar, who was very interested on what Caer was doing. Creating misty balls out of the air, Lugia threw them at all of the hidden Bug Pokemon, whom fainted automatically.
"Magikarp grew to Lvl 15. Magikarp learned tackle. Magikarp grew to Lvl 16. Lugia grew to Lvl 6, Lugia grew to Lvl 7, Lugia grew to Lvl 8, Lugia grew to Lvl 9, Lugia learned Gust," The Pokedex said in a robotic voice.
"Good job Lugia! Now use your new move, Gust!" The baby Legendary nodded, and sent more misty balls at the Bug Pokemon, though fainting less that time.
"Magikarp grew to Lvl 18. Lugia grew to Lvl 10," The Pokedex informed.
"Two more levels!" Caer encouraged Magikarp, who was trying his best to evolve early. Finally it happened.
"MAGIIIIIKARPPP!" It shouted, turning white.
"But it's only Lvl 18! It should only evolve at Lvl 20!" Jessica said, very confused.
Meanwhile, the Ghost inside Pupitar began to be very frantic and started to form a Shadow Ball.
"GROOAAAAWHHHHH!" Screamed the newly evolved Gyrados.
"It's scales...It's red..." Jessica murmured in awe at the rose-colored water snake.
"Great job Magi-Gyrados! Now use Bite!" Caer instructed, though turned around confusedly when Gyrados didn't move.
"Gyrados is only Lvl 18. Bite is learned at Lvl 20. Moves known: Thrash, Tackle, Splash," The Pokedex explained.
"Gyrados use Thrash!" Caer shouted immediately though was too late; the Shadow Ball had already struck fainting the lower level Pokemon.
"Good job Gyrados. Return..." Caer murmured softly as the red light retracted the fainted Gyrados back into the Pokeball.
"Lugia, it's up to you now, ready buddy?" Caer said, repeating the familiar phrase that a Pokemon Champion (hint, hint) used to his starter a while ago.
'Ready father,' It said into Caer's mind.
Jessica suddenly sent out her Pokemon, Dratini.
"You need all the help you can get," She said, winking at Caer who turned a blush of red for a second.
"Right. Lugia Weather Ball!"
"Dratini Dragon Rage!"
The two attacks fused with each other and flew towards Pupitar who dodged it swiftly with little effort. Even combined, the attacks were too weak to even manage to hit Pupitar. Launching several Shadow Balls, Pupitar quickly finished off Lugia and Dratini.
"Return, Lugia," Caer muttered helplessly.
"You too, Dratini," Jessica murmured quietly, "Have a good rest,"
"Kehehehehehe..." The ghost murmured, towering over the cringing pair, like a pair of animals being cornered up by a predator.
'Help Arceus,' Caer pleaded but froze when he felt emptiness in his mind and looked around. Arceus was not there.
Another cliffhanger. Hehe. Anyways how do you guys like Caer's changed attitude when he's in the battle mood? Good? Bad? Please review so I can make the story a whole lot better for your liking.
