Almost a week had past since Team Rwby's capture of Drowzee. In that week, Ruby had gotten a better handle on how to fight in this world and all the different types and evolution pokemon had. And their team had also gotten to really know the guild. From the over reacting, but still fun Sunflora, to the mother-like kindness of Chimeco, to the strangeness of Corphish. Even Loudred was nicer than his first impression led Ruby to believe. He and Diglett even let her and Riolu do their job one day. Ruby learned a lot about pokemon footprints on that day thanks to Loudred and Riolu. But anyway, over a week had past since Ruby joined the guild. She still couldn't remember anything outside of the crescent rose, her sister, Weiss, Blake, those other kids and her mom, but she felt with every passing day she felt closer and closer to remembering
After their daily wake up call from Loudred, Team Rwby and the rest of the guild entered the guild's second floor, ready to do their morning cheers. Little did they know however that today wasn't going to start with the cheers. When Ruby saw Chatot, there seemed to be worry in his eyes
Chatot coughed to get the guild's attention "Everyone, listen up. I have an important announcement to make. Far to the northeast, than farther into the outermost reaches, there lies a place named Treeshroud Forest. In Treeshroud Forest..." Chatot became more hesitant "Time has apparently stopped..."
Everyone in the guild was surprised
"Huh?!" Diglett hid a little in his hole
"Eek! What did you say?!" Sunflora asked
"You're saying time has stopped?! Hey hey hey!" Corphish asked for clarification
"Yes, that's correct..." Chatot looked out the window to see leaves moving with the wind "Time has come to a standstill in Treeshroud Forest. The wind has stopped, the clouds are motionless, dewdrops on leaves won't fall. They just hang there, suspended. In Treeshroud Forest, Time itself has truly stopped"
The guild started to panic
"T-time has stopped?!" The 3 heads of Dugtrio repeated
"But how could something this awful happen?" Sunflora asked "It's unthinkable!"
"Yes, the unthinkable has happened" Chatot nodded "Why has time stopped in Treeshroud Forest? Well, it's because Treeshroud Forest's time gear was..."
Chatot couldn't say it. But Ruby knew once he mentioned the time gear
"It was stolen, wasn't it?"
Chatot gave a nod of defeat to Ruby's question. This didn't help calm down the guild
"Huh?!" Bidoof felt like hiding
"The time gear was s-stolen?!" Dugtrio repeated
"That's what made time stop! Hey hey hey!"
"I'd heard it was possible! But now it's really happened" Chimeco looked down in sadness
"I don't get it, though!" Loudred looked like he was going to tear up the next thing he saw "Why would ANYONE take a time gear!?"
"Quiet, everyone!" Chatot gained everyone's attention "Officer Magnezone has already started an investigation. It's hard to believe that anyone would dare steal a time gear. But if only one time gear can be stolen, the others may also be in danger. The officer asked to be notified immediately if we notice any suspicious characters. So keep that in mind. Let us know if you notice anything. That is all. All right, everyone! Here's to another busy day of work!"
"HOORAY!" Everyone shouted like nothing had happened
"Oh, you there" Chatot gained Team Rwby's attention while the other apprentices got to work "You 2, come here"
Like Chatot asked them, Ruby and Riolu stood right in front of the bird pokemon
"You've become quite good at your work. I'm impressed with your capture of Drowzee. That was very admirable! You all will finally be assigned a mission worthy of a proper exploration team"
"R-really?!" Both Rwby members asked to make sure
"Hooray!" Riolu jumped from joy
"Let me see your wonder map"
Ruby did as Chatot asked and pulled out their team's wonder map
"Treasure Town is here" Chatot used his talons to point to 3 tents on the map "And over here is where we would like you to investigate" Chatot used is talons again to point to what looked like a mountain with a waterfall "See? There is a waterfall flowing here. By all appearances, it's just an ordinary waterfall. But we've received intelligence that the waterfall may conceal a secret. And that's where you come in. We want you lot to investigate the waterfall and determine what's there. That's all. Do you understand what this mission entails?"
"Go to this waterfall, find the secret and come back to tell you what's what" Ruby summarized as she folded the wonder map
"Good!" Chatot nodded "All right, I'll leave you all to thoroughly investigate the waterfall!"
Ruby smiled and nodded. She than looked at Riolu, who was... shaking. Chatot also saw that Riolu was nervous
"Huh? What's wrong?" Chatot asked "You're shivering"
"Riolu?" Ruby was concerned when she saw the smallest of tears come down her partner's eyes
"A-are you alright?" Chatot asked
"Yes" Riolu assured as he wiped away his tears "I'm ok. It's just the anticipation that's making me nervous. This will be the first time we get to do a real job as an exploration team. I'm feeling a little worked up..." He stopped shivering and turned to Ruby "Oh I feel like i'm going to burst from excitement! Let's do our best, Ruby!"
Ruby smiled "Now that's the Riolu i love to hear! Let's do this!"
Riolu wiped away more tears and nodded. He and Ruby than firmly grasped each other's hand and gave a hand shake to do each other's best
Treasure Town Prison. A prison for all of the bad pokemon that have been caught by officers or exploration teams of the region. In order to protect the citizens in case something went wrong, the prison was built on an island; not to far from the beach but far enough so that locals wouldn't get hurt during a breakout or anything like that. Guarding the giant metal gates were 2 Magnetons
"Hey" The right Magneton turned to the left
"Yeah?" The left responded
"You ever wonder why we're here?"
"It's one of life's great mysteries, isn't it. 'Why are we here?' I mean... are we the product of... some kind of cosmic coincidence or... is there really an Arceus watching everything? Did that Arceus only make us? Is there no other life out there? No other worlds or dimensions where... say humans are real and work side by side of pokemon? Or even... even worlds where there aren't any pokemon and just humans? I don't know, man but... It keeps me up at night"
A strong silence was felt after what the left Magneton just said
"...What?" The right Magneton broke the silence "I mean why is it always us that gets paired up when guarding the front gates at this exact same time?"
"Oh... Yeah" The left looked down in embarrassment
"What was all the stuff about Arceus and other-"
Before the right Magneton could finish his sentence, a fire blast came right towards them and the door. A direct hit that knocked both guards out and blasted down the gates. The fire blast came from a pokemon with yellow cannons for hands and seemed to be made out of flames. The pokemon was a Magmorter that had a big smug on his face. As sirens echoed the air from the destroyed door and Magnemites and Magetons came to check on the attack. the Magmorter simply walked in like nothing was going on
"Afternoon, officers" He gave a salute to all the pokemon "Don't mind me, I'm just passing through"
"You are completely surrounded!" One voice in the crowd of magnet pokemon shouted "Surrender with your hands up!"
"Aright-alright. I'm putting my hand up, see?" The Magmorter said as he raised his hands. His smug grew even wider "Unfortunately, you're all outmatched!"
He fired a bright ball out of his cannon arms and than another. The balls stood in the sky and shinned down on the prison. This was a double powered sunny day. The police charged at the breaking-in-pokemon. As they charged, the Magmorter started counting. 20 Magnemites and 15 Magnetons. A total of 35 police. Nothing this Magmorter couldn't handle. He threw a fire blast to his right and blasted 7 Magnemites and 5 Magnetons. 12 already down. He than spun around in a circle, releasing a flamethrower shield. 5 Magnemites and Magnetons were able to back away from the attack just in time or jump over the attack, but the other 13 were knocked out like that. The ones who jumped over the flamethrower were 2 Magnemites and 1 Magneton. One Magnemite rushed to his right, but he slammed that Magnemite right to the ground with both his arms. The Magneton rushed to his left was swatted away by Magmorter's arms and was sent flying right to the walls of the prison. The last Magnemite that jumped the flamethrower was headbutted next to the fainted-by-flamethrower officers. Magmorter looked over at the renaming officers. 4 Magnetons and 3 Magnemites. Magmorter grinned devilishly and pointed his cannon arms at the remaining 7 police pokemon. Both of his arms's insides glowed a bright yellowish-green. In no time at all, thanks to the double sunny day, he fired a massive solar beam at the 7 officers. If this were an ordinary solar beam and sunny day combo, they might not have fainted. But a double sunny day solar beam combo? I'm afraid they've joined their fellow officers into fainting. Magmorter looked over what he just did. 35 officers beaten in over a minuet
He actually yawned at the sight "Man and I though the cops back home were dumb"
He heard someone grunting to get up. He looked down to the Magnemite he headbutted and pointed his right arm at the officer
"Please don't-" The Magnemite pleaded
"Shhh..." Magmorter put his cannon right above Magnemite's face to shut him up "Calm down, I'm not here to hurt you. All I need to know is if you have the... uh..." He pulled out a note behind him and squinted "The... Drowzee... that kidnapped the... Azurill" He put the note behind him again "After that, I'll take him and get off your cases"
Magnemite glared at him with his 1 eye "If you think I'll let you bust out a criminal, you have another-"
Magmorter pointed his gun closer to the officer and it started to glow and feel warmer
"He's on the 3rd floor!"
The warmness of the cannon faded as Magmorter pulled his hand back "There, see? Now was that so hard?" He started walking into the prison's doors "Oh, and by the way..." He continued as he went to get his criminal "A suggestion. Hire more that just floating magnets next time, k?"
The Magmorter entered into the doors of the prison to the 3rd floor, leaving Magnemite to faint with his fellow officers
Team Rwby had made their way to the waterfall. The waterfall's roar echoed across the mountains. The roar was so loud, it could be hard to hear a thing. Luckily for Ruby, her ears could hear Riolu just fine
"So this is the waterfall that supposedly has a secret..." Riolu Put his paw under his chin
Riolu decided to take a closer look at the waterfall and see how strong it was. Immediately when he gave it a small touch, he was knocked back to where he stood
Ruby rushed to see if he was alright "You ok, Riolu?" She asked as she helped him up
"That water's coming down hard!" Riolu said, surprised as he rubbed his paw
"Come on, it can't be that hard"
Ruby decided to show Riolu and touch the waterfall. Before she did though, she felt the incredibleness of the falling deluge. She could barely stand just being close to it. No surprise, once Ruby touched it, she got blasted back where she stood
"Ruby!" Riolu shouted as he went to check on his partner "See? It's insane"
"Yeah, I see your point" Ruby agreed as she stood back up
"If you were to fall under this waterfall, you'd probably be battered. I didn't think it would be poring down this powerfully! Where should we even start looking?"
As Riolu looked around for somewhere to look, Ruby felt a headache. The same headaches she felt back with Azurill and Drowzee
A shadow of a pokemon appeared before the waterfall. The shadow walked back from the waterfall, getting ready to charge at the waterfall. It succeed and entered a cave hidden behind the rushing water. The figure went on to explore the uncharted cave
"It happened again!" Ruby thought "I saw... something"
"Huh? What's the matter, Ruby?" Riolu asked
"I just had another vision"
"What?!" Riolu stepped back "Another one?"
"Yeah. This time I saw some pokemon leap into a hidden cave inside the waterfall. Maybe that's the secret"
"Hm..." Riolu looked at the poring water "But it looks like that water is coming down really heavily. Imagine if there was actually a solid cliff behind that waterfall! Ouch!" Riolu cringed at the mere thought "If we tried to jump through, We'd be pounded badly!"
"So you're not trusting me again?" Ruby asked with a hint of insult in her tone
"What do you mean?" Riolu turned back
"Back when I said Drowzee might have kidnapped Azurill, you didn't trust me! You're doing it again; I thought we were partners!" Ruby sounded really insulted now
"But you were right!"
"Well you didn't listen to me before! If I remember correctly, you're words were something like "We haven't known each other for that long!""
"O-ok i'll admit that that was a little harsh to say-"
"I know I have amnesia, but I also know when to trust my instincts, and my instincts are telling me that our mission is to go into the waterfall! Can you please just trust me on this?!"
Riolu had no words. It didn't occur to him before that he was't trusting Ruby all that much during their partnership. Not that he didn't trust her or anything, just not as uch as a good partner should. And it was true that these visions did help them find out about Drowzee. But still, it was scary to think that Ruby was wrong and that there's a wall that will just help the water pound them all the way to some river or forest. Or worse that the water beats them so hard, they... don't wake up. Which should he trust? His partner or his paranoia? One look at Ruby's sad and angry eyes helped him
"Are you really convinced that there is a cave behind the waterfall?" Riolu finally spoke
Ruby simply gave a nod
"Well...Ok" Riolu nodded a gave a small smile "I'm putting my faith in you, Ruby"
"Riolu..." Ruby didn't look distraught anymore
"Yes! I totally believe in you, Ruby!"
Both members of team Rwby took a few steps back, ready to charge at the waterfall. Even though Riolu trusted Ruby, he couldn't help but shake
"Ok, I got to be brave now!" Riolu told himself "If I get scared and fail to leap through at full speed, I'll get smooshed no matter what I do! If I 'm doing it, I have to do it without hesitating. Be brave... Be the bravest ever!"
"3..." Ruby started the countdown "2... 1...NOW!"
Both Riolu and Ruby rushed towards the waterfall as high speeds! Ruby went so fast that her cape actually engulfed her as she spun! She turned into some sort of red bullet. Riolu couldn't keep up at Ruby's speed, but he wasn't doing bad at all. Once they rached the edge of the cliff they stood on, they leaped at the waterfall! The both felt water get poured on them but then they felt... air. No wall, no rock, no water that would pound them to death. They were ok! But than they felt ground. And they rolled on that ground. Both explorers struggled to get up from the impact, but soon were ok
"W-what is this?!" Riolu asked as he rubbed his head
"Uh, Riolu..." Ruby tapped her partner's shoulder to gain his attention
"Huh?" Riolu looked at an amazed Ruby
"Look" Ruby pointed around the cave
Riolu soon felt his jaw drop. The cave was beautiful. 2 ponds of water, wet rocks that glimmered from small cracks at the top of the cave, a new view of the waterfall. This was an incredible discovery!
Riolu gave a sigh of relief as they weren't dead "Yes! It is a cave! You were right after all, Ruby!"
Ruby felt a blush in her cheeks "Yeah, well we can either sit around and talk about how much of a genius I am, or we can go exploring!"
Riolu laughed "I'd say exploring sounds nice"
After making sure nothing was broken, Team Rwby went off to explore the uncharted cave. As they explored, they found more beautiful sights thanks to cracks on the roof and the wet water. It was beautiful, but Riolu had felt guilt as they went on. They wouldn't have been able this cave if he didn't listen to Ruby. And that fight they had made him realize how much he didn't trust Ruby before. He had to apologize
"Ruby?"
"Yeah?" Ruby turned to her partner
"I'm really sorry about not trusting you before. It's not fair that I wasn't completely trusting you"
Ruby looked down, guilt soon creeping up on her as well "No, I'm sorry. It wasn't mature of me to shout like that. I mean, in retrospect, it was crazy to think that there was a cave behind the waterfall"
"But you were right!"
"Yeah, but it was still crazy to think"
Ruby stopped, and sighed worryingly
"What if we can't make this work"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean this partnership of ours! What if we get into more fights? What if we fight so much that we can't trust each other at all and disband?"
"We will, don't worry!" Riolu lifted Ruby's head up "Look, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said what I said back there, and I'm sorry. There's a lot we don't know about each other yet, but we can learn from each other! One fight won't be the end of us. So let's just not be sad anymore, alright?"
Riolu extended his paw fr Ruby to shake. Ruby gave Riolu a smile and shook hands. Things were going to get better from here on out
"Daw! That's adorable!"
Suddenly, Team Rwby heard a woman's voice next to them. They turned around to see 2 fish pokemon inside a pond. They both bad silver, noodle like bodies with light blue fins, mouths, and a black zig-zag design on their sides
"Honey, you ruined the moment!" The right, male pokemon told the left
"I can't help it if I think that this was a cute moment between them!" The female blushed
"You're fine, Mr. and Ms. Barboach. We weren't expecting that there would be other pokemon in here"
"Of course there are" The male Barboach swam closer "Just because this cave is hidden, doesn't mean no one lives here"
"Wait, why would you want to live in a cave?" Before Ruby could question even further, an idea came to her "Hey, if you 2 live here, does that mean you know the cave's secrets?"
"What do you mean by secrets?" The female Barboach asked
"See, we're an exploration team named Team Rwby, and we're tasked with looking for a secret connected to the waterfall. We've found this cave, but I was wondering if the cave itself had any secrets"
The Barboach couple looked at each other, gave the other a smile and nodded
"Well, there is a secret at the end of the cave"
"There is?!" Riolu took a couple steps closer "What is it?!"
"Well it's not much of a secret if you give it away" The female swam next to her male "But let's just say it's real gem!"
Both Barboach gave a snicker
"Yeah, your excitement will be rapid!" The male said
They snickered again
"So WATER you waiting for!?"
Now they were both laughing. Ruby and Riolu, meanwhile, were just left confused
"Ok... we're going to the end of the cave than. Bye"
Ruby waved and dragged Riolu, trying to get away from the laughing fish pokemon. As they left, a yellow duck pokemon walked by the Barboach pond. A Psyduck
"What are you 2 laughing at?" Psyduck asked
"We were just telling these kids to go find a secret at the end of the cave" The female Barboach calmed down
"The same end of the cave that has the gem that when you press it you get dragged by a wave that blasts you all the way to the hot spring?"
"The same" The male assured
"Ok. Just making sure"
The Psyduck than walked away, leaving the 2 Barboach to laugh at their plan
Team Rwby made their way to the end of the waterfall cave. What they found was a room with tons of gems and crystals all around
"Wow! Look at that, Ruby!" Riolu looked around in awe "Look at all the gems sparkling!"
"They're all so pretty!" Ruby agreed and looked at the end of the room "Hey check out that huge gem!"
The duo walked closer to said gem. The giant gem looked like it was stuck to the wall and shined a beautiful shade of pink
"Wow! I've never seen a gem this huge! This is an incredible treasure" Riolu turned to Ruby "Everyone will be amazed if we take this back!"
Riolu walked up to the gem and held it good and tight. Riolu pulled as hard as he could to get the gem out. But it wouldn't budge, no mater how hard he tried. Finally he fell to the ground from exhaustion
"Nope, it's not budging..." Riolu got up "It's really stuck tight"
"Here, let me try" Ruby stood in front of the gem
She did her best to wrap her tiny arms around the gem and pulled as hard as she could. The hardest she had even pulled! But even with all her might, the gem still wouldn't budge
"Nope. Can't get it either"
"But we can't just give up. If we try hard enough, we'll probably get some kind of result!" Riolu looked really determined to get that gem "I'm going to give it another go, Ruby"
Ruby stepped aside for Riolu to pull the gem. Riolu made sure he had his best grip and tried to pull the gigantic gem once more. Riolu pulled with all his might, but it wouldn't budge. Than Ruby's head started to hurt. She knew what that ment
The shadow pokemon entered a cave filled with many beautiful gems. It noticed the giant gem on the wall and examined it. For whatever reason, the pokemon, instead of pulling the gem, pushed it in. A click sound was heard and a tidal wave came rushing through the right side of the cave, engulfing the shadow pokemon in it
Ruby gasped at what she saw. She was thankful that they were pulling the gem and not pushing it. She looked back at Riolu, still trying to pull the gem out. Unfortunately he could not pull in and he fell on his back
"It's no good" Riolu panted "I can't get it out..."
Riolu pushed himself up and leaned on the gem to rest. And wouldn't you know it, he pushed the gem further in and a click noise was heard
Ruby gasped "Oh-no!"
Suddenly an earthquake came out of no where inside the cave
"Huh" Riolu pushed himself from the gem "What's going on?"
The earthquake was getting louder. Ruby looked towards her right and saw a huge wave coming for them
"RUN FOR IT!" Ruby grabbed Riolu and started running away from the flood
But the couldn't out run the sudden burst of water and they were soon engulfed by the water. The water rushed on and one through the left side of the cave. Than Ruby and Riolu were squirted out of the cave and plummeted to the earth
Team Rwby soon woke up. The felt that they were in water. But not like the cold water that they had just survived. This water was warm. really warm in fact. Like a nice hot bath after a day in the snow
"Huh? What? Where are we?" Riolu asked
"Hi, hi! Are you 2 ok?" A high pitched voice next to Riolu asked "You plopped down from nowhere! Oh you startled everyone"
Ruby and Riolu did there best to stand up while in the water. They noticed that they weren't alone in this water. There were 2 bear pokemon, one was huge with dark brown with a circle around his chest, the other was light brown, had a crescent moon on his head and looked more like a teddy bear. There were also 2 ape like pokemon. One had a monkey tail, and the other looked meaner than the other. There was also a white sloth pokemon with some red hair on his head
"Where are we?" Ruby asked
"This is the hot spring" The teddy bear pokemon spoke in that familiar high pitched voice
"Hot spring?!" Ruby and Riolu asked at the same time
"Indeed! this is the hot spring"
Ruby and Riolu turned around to see a tortes pokemon. He was walking to a post that took a couple small steps. Ruby could tell that this pokemon was very old by how his voice just sounded. This tortes was orange with his eyes looking like they were closed. His shell was grey with red, lave filled patterns and the top of his shell would occasionally spew smoke clouds. This was Torkoal, the town elder
"The hot spring works wonders on tired muscles and creeks joints. Many pokemon visit here. Tell me youngsters, have you a map"
"Y-yeah, but it's probably wet"
Ruby pulled their wonder map from behind her hood and laid it on the steps
"There. We are here"
Torkoal pointed to a bunch of rocks with some yellow inside them and steam coming from the rocks
"This is the hot spring's location"
"Oh. I see" Riolu nodded
"But wait..." Ruby thought out loud "If the waterfall his here..." Ruby pointed a little ways back from the hot spring
Ruby looked at the distance from the waterfall to the map. On map, it didn't look to bad. But when Ruby realized how far it really was, she gasped
"Than that wave made us travel all this way!"
"Whoa!" Was all Riolu could say
"My goodness!" Torkoal looked like he was going to fall on his back from the news "It was the water that carried you all this way? What a long journey that must have been! Let the hot spring wash away your fatigue before you make your way home"
"Actually, that doesn't sound like a bad idea!"
"Yeah" Riolu nodded in agreement "We'll do that" He turned to the other relaxing pokemon "Thanks, everyone"
Ruby leaned back to float on the water while Riolu leaned back on the steps. After what they had just been through, this is exactly what they needed
The Magmorter made his way to the 3rd floor of the prison. On that floor, there were a couple guards, but he took them out easy with a few flamethrower attacks. He did manage to snag some keys on one of the Magnetons. He whistled and looked around the cells to find Drowzee. He found dogs, cats, birds and other forms of pokemon, but it was hard to find the kidnapper. Until he made his way to the end of the hall and found a yellow and brown pokemon with an elephants trunk siting on a bench in his cell
"You Drowzee?" The Magmorter asked
"Who wants to know?" Drowzee glared at the fire type pokemon
"Me, that's who. Look I'll cut to the chase. I work for a special group that is starting to rise around the region. But we feel we need more recruits if we're really doing to make any progress. That''s where you come in" Magmorter's information made Drowzee raise an eyebrow "If you agree to work for us, than I'll be happy to bust you out"
"Hey I want out!" The cell across fro them shouted
"If you're breaking, I'm taking!" The cell next to that cell said
Practically the whole 3rd floor was shouting for freedom from their savior
"Hey hey hey hey!" The Magmorter shut the floor up "We'll bust you all out eventually. We're just testing things out first" He turned back to Drowzee "So what do you say?"
Drowzee grinned devilishly "If that's all it takes, than I'm in!"
"That's the spirit" The Magmorter put they first key in and got his new recruit "But before you can become an official member, you need to help me with a job. See, there's this place called the Mystery Forest. They say that a pokemon named Mew lives in that forest. So our job is to find this forest, find Mew and-"
Before he continued, a Magnemite started wobbling off the ground and tried to do something. The Magmorter rolled his eyes and smacked it away far enough that it got knocked out the minuet it touched solid
"Anyways, we find Mew and get the information we need"
"What information?"
"Sorry, but that's a me to know basis and you to find out later. So shall we go searching for Mew?"
"This sound like the most insane idea ever. But I'll do anything if it means getting out of here
"Good. Than let's be on our way"
Magmorter let Drowzee go first and was ready to go
"OH! I almost forgot!" Magmorter pulled a note behind him. The note had a picture of a wolf with 3 slashes behind it "My employer wanted to leave a little not for the men in metal"
The lava pokemon put the note on the bench Drowzee was just siting on and joined up with Drowzee. He was ready to go out and find Mew
Author's note: And that wraps up this chapter. I was originally going to have it go to when Team Rwby find out about the huge exploration, but there was already enough stiff in this chapter. The time gear getting stolen, a jail break, a new character, a Red Vs Blue reference, and some good development for Ruby and Riolu's partnership. So who do you guys think the Magmorter is? I'm sure most of you can guess this one, but you never know. Anyways, next chapter will be finding out about the exploration to the lake and finding out who the shadow pokemon is. If you've played the game you already know who it is, but the characters don't. Anyways, review time!
digitalwall and gamelover41592: i'll go into more detail into why i chose him to be a honchkrow in a later author's note, but for now let's just say that he's better as a honchkrow than any of the pokemon that have his traits
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. If you did, feel free to give a follow, a favorite, a review and I'll see you all in the next chapter
