Hi everyone thanks for all the great reviews etc. Anyways chapter 3's here and it uncovers a bit more about Ash's or should I say 'the mysterious Man's' personality and character. This chapter also briefly mentions two new Pokémon on Ash's team.
Disclaimer: Yeah... No.
The morning was young, the moon was still up and the bird Pokémon were gradually beginning to awaken. It was tricky to tell the time but judging by the soft, peaceful singing of the Pokémon and the forest, the best guess was that it was around five in the morning.
In the distance a quiet, murmur could be heard of the crystal, blue river surrounded by many trees and healthy vegetation. Growing with the help of the unique forest Pokémon, the place really felt different and special from any other.
Up in the sky many different categories of flying Pokémon where generating a stunning arc, firing their diverse attacks at an unknown target. The strange thing was that even though they were all from distinctive regions they were all in perfect sink.
From the lush, fresh grass many fire attacks burnt through the sky, twisting and twirling in every direction. As the fire derived higher and higher razor sharp leaves where shot out towards it, to any person in would be obvious that the intense flames would turn the greenery to ash, but they would be surprised at what happened next. Pin size whirlpools of water attacked the leaves soaking them so that they started to curl up into tiny rolls. The soaked verdures then cut through the flames and floated on thin air, fire blazing on top and drops of water dripping down by the force of gravity.
The sight was beautiful but turned into a scene to remember when agile electric bolts where sent up, colliding with the leaves and turning them into silent, colourful, painless fireworks. The bird Pokémon gracefully flew by performing their own little dances, before returning back to their positions in the curvature.
This was the true beauty of nature and a show to remember.
A single hand reached out, A black fingerless glove was protecting it.
"Pi-ka" A voice called as an overpowering steel tail bashed against a tree, and three ripe, pink berries flew into the patient palm.
After some more insufficient instructions and knocked down fruit, around sixty or even more leaves sat on the ground each filled with mouth-watering fresh produce, each one was decorated in a different way and each had diverse fruit, specific to the respective Pokemon.
The boy who prepared the massive meal stood up from the log he was sitting on and yawned slightly, as he stretched. The young man with shaggy black hair then pulled down his voluminous, light denim trousers off, revealing midnight blue swimming trunks.
"Make space!" He yelled as he raced towards the lake and jumped in, water splashing ubiquitously.
Then, without a warning he was sprayed by a tremendously powerful water gun from one of his Pokémon.
"So that's how you want it now do you?" The man asked as he reappeared from the deathly waterfall, before splashing the Pokémon back.
Within a few minutes a massive water fight had begun between the boy and the water creature.
On the shore the little, yellow mouse scratched its head, as it looked at the boy. The mouse felt fuzzy inside, he was happy that after all that his master went through, the young man was still the same playful creature he had always been.
The rodent then felt something smooth and fluffy coil up beside him. He turned his small cute face and noticed a diminutive, fox like silver Pokémon with large ears lying down alongside him.
The sight of the Pokémon made the rodent relax and a wide smile took over his golden face. Pikachu wrapped his long; thunderbolt shaped tail around his body and closed his shiny, coal eyes.
After another an hour, or so, Pikachu was awoken by loud laughter.
The Pokémon yawned and stretched, before looking around. Many unique creatures were gathered around on the emerald grass. Some were wiping their eyes from all the laughter, some were consuming healthy, fresh berries from their plates made out of leaves and others were relaxing after their vigorous, early breakfast.
In the middle of the crowd the rodent noticed his master getting up, he looked a tint messy as if he had just tripped and fell. Behind the boy sat a rock, grey in colour with a few red diamonds. Suddenly something long and orange came out from one of the gaps in the rock. The boy observed the ground behind him and rubbed his head, as he blushed slightly from the embarrassment. Then deprived of any cautionary a cascade started pouring out of the rock at rapid speed.
Pikachu laughed when he saw this. Was the rock really just a normal stalwart or was it something else?
The rodent then rose up onto his stubby short legs and trotted over to the lonely plate filled with delicious fruit.
"Now return," The boy with the murky cloak called, and with another bright red flash another Pokémon disappeared.
Now the only Pokémon that where left were: The graceful, beautiful, skilled Ninetales and the playful, powerful, unique but injured Pikachu.
The boy minimized the blue and white ball before throwing it into his bag. He then reached with his hand and took out another sphere from the belt under his cloak.
This ball looked a little different from the average red and white ball. This pokeball had a yellow thunderbolt on the front; the ball looked clean, and if not for one large scratch on the front would have looked good as new.
"Come on Pikachu, we were lucky yesterday that Gary didn't notice you, but with your injury you might fail to hide this time," The boy said kindly holding the pokeball out to the trembling mouse.
The young man pressed the button on the ball and a bright red flash came at the mouse. Then as it faded no trace of the Pokémon could be seen.
"Sorry buddy," The boy whispered as he hinged the ball back in its position on the belt.
The boy then encouraged the other Pokémon to follow him while at the same time he zipped his bag up and threw the strap over his right shoulder.
A young brunette girl, her younger brother and his Raichu made their way through the darkest, spookiest part of Eterna forest filled with creepy noises and darkness.
"Where are we May?" The young traveler asked his older sister.
"I don't know Max, but the quicker we get out of here the better," The girl answered her voice trembling full of fear.
"Hey there, are you lost?" A friendly yet curious voice asked.
May spun her head around towards the direction in which the voice came from, tears where streaming down her face like waterfalls as she nodded her her head in response, causing both Max and Raichu to sweat-drop at the girl's helpless expression.
As the younger of the siblings turned to face the owner of the voice, he was surprised to see a girl no older than his sister. She had fair skin and shoulder length lilac hair with large matching eyes. The girl wore a knee length white dress, with cropped sleeves that where interlaced with, sparkly purple thread. Lightly toned purple tights covered her legs and polish-able black shoes rested upon her feet. A purple fork tailed Pokemon with a red gem embedded in its forehead stood by the girl's side patiently.
"Have we met before?" The lilac haired girl asked as she scanned the two teenagers who stood before her, as she did so her eyes landed on Raichu and a faint glimmer in her unwavering eyes indicated a sense of resemblance.
Max stayed silent for a few seconds as he wondered about the question that the girl had asked. After double checking with his electric partner he looked at the girl before shaking his head "I think you mistook us for someone else" he answered.
The female nodded in acknowledgement before speaking up once more "We're heading to Snowpoint City at the moment, but if you would like then Espeon and I could show you the exit out of this forest first"
Espeon meowed as it flicked its long, skinny tail in response.
"That's great! We're actually heading to Snowpoint City ourselves, so it would be great if you could show us how to get there!" Exclaimed the thirteen year old as a gentle breeze rustled his oxford blue hair.
May was finally able to wipe her tears away as she forced herself to smile.
"Sure, we can go together" The girl answered happily as she looked at her feline eeveelution and exchanged a happy grin.
Max high-fived the electric mouse, while his sister sobbed quietly with joy unsure of what else to do.
