M: M here bringing you a new chapter of Walking Around The Shipping Tree! I just want to say that I am so so so SORRY that I haven't updated this story in so long! I really am! School and life got in the way and lots of things have happened this year. Like my book "Protector" has finally been published :) I'm really happy and excited about it. My profile photo is currently the cover of my book and if you check out my profile I've added links to some of the places that are selling my book. I'd really appreciate it if you could take the time to check it out, and maybe...buy a copy? For each book that is sold a donation will be made to a world wildlife foundation. But anyway lets get on with the story.
Disclaimer: M owns nothing. She only owns her creativity. Enjoy!
Recap:
"You guys alright? I hope I didn't get here too late." The awfully familiar voice said lightly as said person stepped out of the woods. Everyone gasped as their eyes widened when they caught sight of their "savior."
"BB!" The two kids shouted from the cage, eyes widening with happiness.
Sniffling, the two teenage girls looked up, watery and red eyes widening. "Your here!"
"BB" nodded her head towards them, her concern gaze flittering over the scene. "Are you guys alright?" She asked again, glancing at the two closest people to her: May and Drew. Getting curt nods, she focused her attention on the machine in front of her; Feraligator and Espeon prepared to battle. "Hydro Pump! Psychic!" With a cry, Feraligator unleashed a Hydro Pump, Espeon's Psychic following, taking control of it as it slithered around the machine. "Hold Your Breath!" "BB" commanded the cage occupants as the Psychic Controlled Hydro Pump headed into the cage. "Pull!" With a tug of her head, Espeon's Psychic gave a lurch as the water pounded the bars of the cage.
The machine's electricity started powering up. "BB" gritted her teeth before commanding her Pokemon to stop their attacks. Waiting with bated breath, she watched as the electricity ran through the machine's body into its claws. "Just how I taught you!" "BB" shouted as the claws went straight towards Feraligator and Espeon. Right at the last minute they jumped, the claws entrenching themselves into the ground.
"Come on" She hissed, pushing May and Drew away from the tree. "Huddle up!" she shouted rushing towards the other side of the clearing, Feraligator and Espeon jumping to and fro, distracting the machine, as the gang got together.
"What is she doing?" Misty whispered to Ash as he hurridly helped her up.
"I'm not sure..."
"Protect!" "BB" shouted as Feraligator and Espeon were cornered, the machines claws spewing electricity everywhere.
"Slowbro! Hyperbeam!" Out of the woods came a bright light hitting the electric claws sending them the opposite way.
"SLOWBRO!" Slowbro shouted, jumping out of the bushes.
"Solidad!" Harley's eyes brightened when he saw the Famous Top Coordinator come out of the foliage.
"Need Help" she asked, a soft smile on her lips.
"You bet we do" Harley's shrill voice responded as he ran towards her.
"Do me a favor!" "BB" shouted. Distract the machine. Bring out any Pokemon that has an ice move and at the count of three make them attack the cage." Determined, Misty released Corsola, Goldeen, Horsea, and Seal, as Solidad released Lapras, May and Drew following with Glaceon and Masquerain. Gary, Ash, Tracy, Brock, and Harley bringing out their own Pokemon to be a distraction.
"Feraligator! Espeon! Get ready!"
"Pikachu! Use volt tackle!" Ash ordered, initiating the plan.
"Umbreon! Use Shadow Ball!" Gary, not one to be outdone, yelled.
"Geodude! Rock throw!" Brock commanded.
"Scyther! Vacuum Wave!" Tracy commanded as Scyther sped off towards the machine, an angry glint in its eyes.
"Wigglituff!" Harley shouted pointing at the machine with fire in his eyes. "Sin-"
"No" Tracy shouted. "Not that move!"
"Oh fine!" Harley pouted returning Wigglytuff. "Cacturne! Pin Missile!"
With a nod from "BB", Espeon's Protect wore off as Feraligator once again sent out a Hydro Pump, Espeon's Psychic grabbing it.
"Hold your breath!"
The hydro pump once again entered the cage. With a flick of Espeon's neck, the psychic move started concentrating the Hydro Pump to stay on the cages bar. "Alright...at the count of three" "BB" yelled, gritting her teeth as she concentrated on the machine. "One!" Electricity started crackling throughout the machine's body. "Two!" Two large electric balls started to morph inside the machines claws. "THREE!" "BB" shouted.
"Ice Beam!" Misty and Tracy shouted.
"Lapras! Sheer Cold!" Solidad shouted. "Slowbro! Ice Beam!"
"Glaceon!" May shouted. "Frost Breath!"
"Use Icy Wind!" Drew ordered, stepping next to May.
"Feraligator! Ice Punch!" "BB" ordered as all the ice types hit the Hydro Pump covered cage, changing the iron bars into icicles. Jumping into the air, Feraligator stopped the Hydro Pump as Espeon's Psychic grabbed him sending him hurtling through the air as he prepared his Ice Punch. With a smash he broke through the ice and the cage, crashing into the three teenagers.
"Quick! Get out of there!" "BB" ordered as electricity started rampaging throughout the machine, a loud ticking sound coming out of it as the head popped open showing a bomb timer. Shaking his head, Feraligator got his bearings as he grabbed the two children before jumping, Espeon's Psychic helping his landing, while the three teenagers inside jumped out before Espeon or Slowbro could help. Landing roughly on their knees, on the ground, the three teenagers crawled away as quickly as they could.
Three...tick tick...Two...tick tick tick...One...tick tick tick...Zero..."It's gonna blow!" "BB" shouted eyes widening as she turned around and made a run for it. "RUN!" Beep Beep Beep noises filled the air as the Pokemon Gang ran, returning their Pokemon. With a boom, they fell down onto the ground, covering their heads as the machine exploded.
"Are you alright May?" Drew asked, moving his head closer to her ear as he pulled her body closer to him with his arm.
"I...I think so..." May responded shakily as she tried to get up. Pain flew threw her, stopping her movements.
"Are you alright?" Drew questioned, unable to stop the concern from flooding his face and voice.
May winced. "I think...I think I hurt my ankle..." Glancing, he saw her ankle red and swollen. He gulped.
"You'll be alright" He whispered to her before picking her up in his arms.
"Is everyone alright?" Brock, taking the adult role, questioned, as he dusted dirt off himself.
"Yep"
"Sure"
"I believe so"
"My clothes are a bit dirty darling but nothing a little shopping spree couldn't cure. Right Solidad?"
"I'm fine and Harley...calm down..."
Dusting herself off "BB" glanced at the piles of destroyed metal and wires the machine left behind in its destruction. "BB!" The two children shouted racing towards her before throwing their arms around her, sending her sprawling back onto the floor. "You came for us!"
Sweatdropping, "BB" patted their heads looking at her three terrified friends rubbing their burnt knees.
"You guys alright?"
"Other than a couple of electric burns we're in mint condition" One of them responded shaking her head.
Nodding, "BB" got up. "In that case...Let's get going..." Turning around, she started making her way back into the woods.
"Hold on!" Ash yelled, stepping in her way. "You can't just show up out of nowhere, help us out, and then leave."
"Besides" Tracy added, stepping next to Ash. "I'm sure your Pokemon are tired."
"And your friends could use a bit of medical help" Misty finished, taking a stand next to Ash. "Those burns might get infected."
"Um...well..." "BB" paused as the two children tugged on her shirt. Glancing down, pleading faces covered her vision.
"You know they're right" One of her others friends piped up, trying to comb her now electrified frizzy black hair back into a bun.
"Let's stay for a while." The other friend piped up, putting chapstick on her dried and cracked lips. "That machine almost killed me."
"Fine" "BB" sighed out. "We'll stay for a bit."
"Staying in Pallet Town for a bit" Solidad mused. "Sounds good to me. Harley?"
Harley paused, taking in Solidad's smile before a large grin covered his face. "Of course buttercup!"
"Well" Drew spoke, moving to get a better grip on May. "If we're gonna go back, let's go now. May's not as light as you think."
"HEY!" Drew smirked as May's face turned beat red as she glowered at him. He couldn't help it. She just looked so damn cute when she was mad.
"In that case..." Gary waltzed over to one of the girls and gave her his hand. "Need help?" He smiled as he saw a blush cover her face. "The names Gary by the way."
"Leaf." The girl breathed out as she delicately placed her hand in his. With a pull, he had her up and against him. Face turning into a Tomato, Leaf pushed away before her knees buckled, the two other friends falling right after her.
With a worried gaze "BB" watched as Gary lifted Leaf into his arms, Brock and Tracey lifting the other two girls, before rushing after Drew(who was already halfway down the road with May) Ash, Misty, Harley, and Solidad following.
Sighing, "BB" returned Feraligator and Espeon, taking one final glance at the rubble, before heading to Pallet Town, reporting as she went through her PokeNav what had just occured to Officer Jenny. One thought ran through her head like a repeated mantra "What Did I Just Get Ourselves Into."
