Sorry if I'm inconsistent about the gray/grey thing! I try to keep it the same but I can never remember which one I last used and One Goal is getting pretty long.
You know, my friend mentioned to me that at one point, Melody kills a Grunt and later in the story she lets one go. She asked me why and it occurred to me that some of you might have the same question. I would just like to point out the age difference between the two events. The first time, Melody is young and relatively immature. She is blinded by rage and feels the need to kill every Grunt she meets because they killed her parents. However, she has not met the one responsible for killing her parents yet. (SPOILER ALERT) She does eventually meet him later on. The second time, however, Melody is 13 and much more mature. She now realizes that it is impossible to kill every Grunt just because she has a grudge. Her one goal is to disband them. See what I did there?
NOTICE: I won't post any more chapters until 20 people have read this chapter. So tell your friends!
And if you leave a review, I will mention you in my next chapter, (SPOILER ALERT) called 'The Rescue'.
Chapter 7: Tracking A Storm
The sky was a pale blue dotted with a few wisps of white. I stopped walking and Glaceon looked up at me expectantly. In the distance, I saw a grey shape forming rapidly. It was swirling around a single point, most likely Team Stellar's HQ. Again, the work of Team Stellar. They were either trying to scare me off or they were working on some maniacal scheme to overrun Resmar City.
They knew I was coming for them, the lone resister. Aside from Ash and Misty. A-and Aaron, who had died to save me. So brave...
But Ash and Misty had survived and fled to Resmar City.
The bag that I found was full of food and it also had $1000 in it. I was very surprised when I discovered the secret pocket full of money. I cannot believe my luck! I mean, it is rare that you find anything useful that Team Stellar hasn't confiscated. They took away every sharp thing, (except for their own weapons) every utensil, even every stuffed animal (they apparently could contain weapons) after they conquered us all. That is why I never found my stuffed Teddiursa.
But money? And food to last a month? Never in your lifetime.
The only thing wrong with the belief that we could rise up again and fight back is that Ash and Misty have been captured. The Stellar Newspaper in the last town I made a pit stop in told me the bad news. I found a piece of paper flying in the wind and Ralts, on my shoulder, caught it and gave it to me.
Headline: ASH AND MISTY KETCHUM HAVE BEEN CAPTURED. ALL SUSPICIOUS PERSONS OR KNOWN RESISTERS WILL BE PUT TO DEATH OR WORSE.
Oh, shit. If I get caught, I don't even want to think about it. Because I AM a known resister, which means my punishment will be worse than death. HOLY SHIT.
On a happier tone, Glaceon, Ralts, and I were walking through a field on our way to Ecelic Town. We came across a wild Whimsicott. We had a battle, and the Whimsicott nearly fainted. It walked up to me with a pleading expression on its face, like I was going to hurt or kill it. It must have met Team Stellar. I asked, "Whimsicott, would you like to travel with me and destroy Team Stellar?" Whimsicott nodded excitedly. "Cott!" She squealed.
My updated team and I continued on towards the cloud. "Thanks Team Stupid." I thought. We then knew which way to go.
