Chapter 3: a fight and rescue
The next day Lilly showed me Pokémon Square, which was nice, but not very interesting. She begged me to go on a mission from Pelipper Post office, since we didn't get any mail, but I was too tired and we spent the rest of the day talking to others. I had another strange dream that night, but what stuck out more was the earthquake that woke me up.
I shook my head after it subsided, and went back to sleep. I was woken up by a voice.
"Hello?" it asked "uh…you're Alex, right?"
I blinked, not saying anything
"Oh, right, you can't see us" it said. Suddenly, what looked like three brown hill-like creatures appeared. Dugtrio, I think. "We're pleased to meet you. We are Dugtrio. Last night, during the earthquake, our child Diglett was attacked…He was whisked away to the peak of a tall mountain. We can't climb that high, so we need your help. He was abducted by a Pokémon named Skarmory. He's really vicious, so be careful! We need to go now, bye!"
They disappeared before I could say a word.
"Wow, that was quick" I said, yawning "didn't even get the chance to say no…oh well!"
I walked out, and saw Lily walking up to the hut "morning Alex!" she said cheerily
"Morning Lilly!" I replied "we have a mission!"
"Oh?" she asked "already?"
"Yep" the Dugtrio popped out in between us, startling us both "our child Diglett was kidnapped! He was taken to mount steel's summit! Please help! Bye!" and they were gone.
"No saying no, right?" I said
"Uh…right" Lilly replied "let's go!"
We ran to mount steel. When we got there, we looked into the cave.
"So, this is mount steel" Lilly said
"That's right!" Dugtrio popped up in front of us "the peak is 9F! Thank you for your help! Bye!" and he was gone again.
"Well, let's go!" Lilly said, as she ran into the mountain.
We climbed for what seemed like hours, and about halfway through, we saw snow. Eevee wasn't cold because of her fur, and I managed to create enough energy to keep myself warm. After a bit, we got to the summit, where we saw Diglett on a platform.
"Look Alex, there's Diglett!" Lilly said.
"Are you ok?" I called over to him.
"I-I'm scared!" Diglett replied back.
Out of nowhere, a metallic bird Pokémon swooped in, landing in front of us. "You…what are you doing here?" it asked
"We came to rescue Diglett!" Lilly replied "Skarmory, stop doing this!"
"How dare you!" Skarmory replied "it's their fault! The earthquakes keep me up all night, and it's caused by this guy's family digging around everywhere!"
"Hey, that's not true!" Lilly said "sure, there's been a ton of earthquakes, but Digletts family couldn't have caused all that!"
"You be quiet!" he retorted "we'll fight if you keep this up!"
"We can't talk to him reasonably" Lilly said to me "we have to-"
"BRING IT ON!" I yelled, surprising both Lilly and Skarmory.
I got on all fours in front of Lilly defensively. I sent out a charge of electricity, which hit the Skarmory dead-on. Skarmory retaliated by slashing at me, which hurt, but luckily not too much. Lilly stood back, watching me battle. She knew she wouldn't be much help, but I could see it in her eyes that she wanted to help.
After a bit of fighting, the Skarmory stopped. "Grr…I can't keep up" it said "you win" it then took off.
"Yay! We-I mean, you won!" Lilly said happily.
I smiled, then looked at Diglett "you can come down now!"
"I-I can't" Diglett said "t-too scared!"
"We'll get you then!" Lilly said. She walked up to the chasm, then stopped "whoa…there's no way we're getting across that"
Then, the two Magnamite from Thunderwave cave came down. "We heard about this!" one of them said "we can rescue him from the sky!"
"Hold on tight!" the other said "and don't worry, we won't zap you!"
They took off, carrying the Diglett, and we left soon after.
When we got back, the Magnamite put the Diglett down "ohh…I was very scared. Maybe because I was so high up!" he said "my feet feel like their still walking on air!"
I could see we were all thinking the same thing: he has feet?
"Well, you're safe now!" Lilly said.
"Yes, I am" Diglett said "thank you so much!"
Dugtrio popped up "oh, you've been rescued!" he said.
I lost track of the conversation, but then the two ground-types left. The magnemites were about to leave, but Lilly stopped them.
"Why don't you guys join us?" she asked
"Join your team?" one of them asked
"Yea!" Lilly said "we couldn't have finished the job without you, and we could use your help"
"Yea, we could use a few helping hands" I said
"So, how about it?" Lilly asked
"A rescue team" one Magnamite said "that sounds fun!"
"But, if we need to rush over at any time, we need a nearby place to live" the other said "is there anywhere?"
"Uh…" Lilly said, obviously not having an answer
"Oh, well that's too bad!" the same Magnamite said, a bit too quickly "we got to go, see you later!" the pair rushed off
"Oh…" I said "that's too bad…"
"We need a sort of team area, I guess" Lilly said "let's stop by Wigglytuffs shop tomorrow, it wasn't open before and should have opened today!"
"Sounds like a plan" I said.
"Great!" Lilly replied "who knows, we might get a request once we're done too!"
"Yea, maybe" I said. I yawned "for now, I think we should go to sleep"
Lilly nodded "I agree" she said "good night!"
"Night!" I replied, going into the hut. I fell asleep quickly.
I had another weird dream that night. I was floating in the green mist again. This time, the Pokémon was clearer, and I could hear better. What it said? "You have to fulfill your role as a human"
Yay! Another new chapter! Sorry I haven't updated recently, I haven't been feeling well, and that's been affecting my writing and thoughts, but I'll try to get back to writing! Note that as of right now, if you want me to put a chapter that develops character, then I'm more than willing to do so, and I'm more than welcoming of OCs. Remember: I love criticism, I'm open to input, and I love criticism. Bye for now!
