Oh lookie! Another chapter. Maybe it's because it's late at night and I'm bored out of my mind.
Disclaimer::yawn:: I don't own Pokemon, I do own Zoey, Silver, and whatever else.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The Dark Sun StoneSilver awoke to the calling sounds of Wingulls overhead and the waves gently rolling onto the beach. It wasn't fully light out yet. He noticed Zoey was sitting on the shore, letting waves wash over her feet. Silver approached her and sat down.
"Did you not sleep well?" he asked. Zoe was shocked by his sudden appearance then said,
"No, it was fine. I just got up early and decide to think."
"And about what, may I ask?"
"Hmm, I don't know. I guess I was just wondering if I'm not to the challenge. I mean…" She paused and looked down at the cuts and bruises she suffered from their first Dark Stone encounter.
"Don't worry," Silver replied, taking her hand. "We're partners now so I'll always be there by your side."
"Thanks," Zoey said, smiling. He let go of her hand and they both sat on the beach, watching the sunrise.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It wasn't until early afternoon that something eventful occurred. Like always, Zoey felt a strange sensation and the wind blew harder than usually. Both her and Silver knew that Solrock and the Dark Sun Stone were nearby. But instead of seeing the Solrock, they heard the noise of little footsteps, heading their way.
"Look!" Silver said suddenly, pointing to the east. Zoe gazed over to where he was pointing. A large mass of shadowed creatures appeared on the beach, coming closer and becoming clearer with every passing moment. Soon Silver was able to identify the shadow.
"It's an army of Gloom, Bellossom, Sunkern, and Sunflora!" he said.
"Ugh, more Grass Pokemon," Zoey moaned. "Well you know what to do." The two Trainers released their Fire Pokemon out of their Pokeballs.
"Houndoom, Typhlosion," they commanded at the same time, "Flamethrower!"
Quickly and easily, lines of the Pokemon succumbed to the firepower. Zoey also brought out Espeon to help assist by using Psychic and throwing some Pokemon back into the massive army.
"Too bad this couldn't be more of a challenge," Zoey said, yawning.
"And you were afraid you weren't up for it," Silver replied, smiling.
It wasn't long before most of the "Sun Pokemon" were down. It all seemed to be going smoothly when a large rock suddenly landed dangerously close to Silver. In a matter of moments, more boulders began to fall, narrowly missing the two teens and their Pokemon.
"A Rock Slide attack!" Silver exclaimed. Zoey looked up and saw who the culprit was. The Solrock from before lowered itself down to the beach. Since the boulders were blocking Houndoom and Typhlosion's attack paths, the Grass-type Pokemon began to surround the boulders. They were trapped, and if they didn't do something soon, they would lose. But Zoey had an idea.
"Golduck, quick!" she said, calling it out of its Pokeball. "Use Brick Break on the boulders!"
As soon as Golduck got to clearing, Houndoom, Espeon, and Typhlosion got to attacking. The two Fire-types managed to push back the troops with intense flames while Espeon used Psychic to immobilize those who managed to escape. Zoey and Silver then turned to Solrock.
The Sun Pokemon was floating not too far above them with an evil glint in its eye. Zoey could see the Dark Sun Stone attached to its forehead and the dark glow it was emitting.
Silver let Umbreon out of its Pokeball without a word and they all stood there, facing Solrock. The only noise was of the Grass-Pokemon falling to the great power of fire behind them.
Then, without warning, the Solrock attacked.
It launched a cyclone of fire that Umbreon and Golduck just barely avoided. Golduck attacked the Sun-shaped Pokemon with Surf and Umbreon followed it up with a Faint Attack. Both attacks were Super-Effective hits, but because of the Sun Stone's power, Solrock was able to hang on.
It began to rise high up into the sky, firing Psybeams on the way. The attacks were ineffective against Umbreon but it hit Golduck, doing some damage.
Soon the Solrock was high enough in the air that Zoey and Silver's attacks could not reach it. They could barely see the Pokemon for the glare from the sun. Behind them, their other Pokemon had finally defeated Solrock's minions and were waiting for new commands, if any. Zoey merely turned around and said,
"Good job guys," before returning her attention to the little dot that was Solrock.
"A Solarbeam," Silver stated simply, not taking his eyes off the Pokemon. Solrock was as close to the sun as it could be and was taking in as much of the light as possible. From the looks of it, it was going to be one powerful Solarbeam. And it was.
At first, they didn't see it coming. But when they finally did, it was too late. Zoey, Silver and all their Pokemon were pushed back and to the ground from the intensity of the attack. Sand flew up everyway as a crater was formed and they had to shield their eyes. Golduck was knocked out from the force of the blow, but fortunately, the other Pokemon still remained standing.
"Help me out Houndoom!" Zoey said to it, hoping that the slight type advantage would get this battle over and done with.
Slowly, Solrock came back down to Earth.
"It looks exhausted," Silver whispered to Zoey. He was right. The Solrock had scuffmarks all over its body and had a weary look in its eyes. Zoey was sure that if Solrock had any visible mouth (or lungs for that matter), it would be panting. But even though it looked so tired, the Sun Stone's Dark aura shone as brightly as ever.
"It's time to finish it off," Zoe said. "Tell Umbreon to use Faint Attack." Silver nodded and both Umbreon and Houndoom went into a double Faint Attack. With no energy left to dodge, the attacks hit and Solrock fainted.
Somehow though, it still lingered in the air, out of reach.
"What to do…" Zoey pondered staring at the ground. While they were thinking, Solrock slowly began to recover, but showed no visible signs of it. Just when it was about attempt a Fire Spin, it was knocked out again by a Psychic attack, which forced it to the ground.
Zoey looked up in shock to Solrock lying on its side in the sand. Then she glanced at Espeon, who was still standing in an offensive position. Apparently, Espeon's keen senses had realized what the Solrock was doing before its Trainer. Zoey shot a grateful look at her Pokemon and ran over to the Solrock.
She yanked the Dark Sun Stone off its head. Immediately, the dark aura disappeared as it was pushed away from a pure, white light. The Solrock awoke and floated back up to the sky, not even taking a second glance at its saviors.
Silver turned around to look at the Grass Pokemon and realized they were not there. Maybe they had gone back into the forest. Silver was wondering why there was Grass-type Pokemon on the beach in the first place…
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Not too long after Zoey had pocketed the recently Purified Sun Stone and let her Pokemon rest in their Pokeballs, the wind picked up and an odd sensation traveled through hey body. She knew the next Stone was nearby.
She took out the map and called Silver over.
"Thunder Hill," he read off the map. "So you think the next Stone, the Thunder Stone, is most likely there?"
"I know it is," Zoey replied. They spent a few minutes examining the map and the places they will more than likely go to on their journey. Then Zoey spoke up.
"You know Silver, two Stones in three days isn't too bad. I'm sure if we just hang out for the rest of the day, nothing too bad will happen." Silver smiled.
"All right then," he said. "I guess you're right. Another beach day shouldn't hurt." Zoey jumped up in excitement and ran toward the water. Silver followed. Finally, the two were getting their well-deserved day of relaxation.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Well this was supposed to be two chapters, and then I realized the first part was waaayy too short. This is still kind of short anyway. And probably poorly written because I'm really tired. But who cares cuz this is the end of the second story yay!
I think I have the Thunder one written up somewhere…so if you care (which I'm sure you don't) look out for it.
