Chapter 7

Wave felt around until she found a wall and put her back to it so no one could sneak up on her. This was going to be a difficult battle. Not only were they facing a powerful and obviously enraged Pokemon, but they couldn't even see in the darkness of the cave. All she could see was the faint light of the entrance to the Dark Cave. She suddenly wished she had a flashlight, or that Cyndaquil wasn't too cold to ignite his flames. She only hoped that Ursaring would be hindered by the flames, too.

"What are we going to do, Wave?" asked Levi upon hearing another snarl from Ursaring.

Wave tried to stay calm. "Maybe I can try to reason with Ursaring," she said. "I'll try to talk to it."

She heard another growl from Ursaring. Taking a deep breath, she called out, "Ursaring? Hello?"

Who's there? I smell humans! she roared.

"Please, we don't want to fight you," said Wave. "Why did you chase Cyndaquil?"

None of your business, human! she snapped. Give the Cyndaquil to me or else!

"What do you want with Cyndaquil? He's our friend," said Wave.

"It wants Cyndaquil?" said Levi.

Friend or not, I need him, said Ursaring. She sounded dangerously close. I'll fight you if I have to!

"Do you need help? Is that it?" asked Wave. "If you do, just tell me."

Ursaring was now right in front of Wave. Help? How could a human help me? She roared with fury.

"Tell me what you want with my Cyndaquil," said Levi.

Ursaring growled. Fine. My son, Teddiursa, is trapped deep in the cave and I can't find him. I need Cyndaquil's fire to find him. His scent trail was washed away by the water in here.

"Levi, her baby is lost in the cave and she can't find him by scent," said Wave. "She needs Cyndaquil's fire."

"Oh," said Levi. "Why didn't you just say you needed help?"

I don't trust humans, said Ursaring.

"Ursaring, Cyndaquil is too cold to make fire right now," said Wave. "He needs to be warmed up first."

Ursaring growled. I need to find Teddiursa now! He could be hurt, and I've wasted enough time as it is.

"I'm sorry, but I'll still help you find him," said Wave.

I...I'll try to ignite my fire again, said Cyndaquil.

She heard him jump out of Levi's arm and try to start his flames. A dull, small flame burst out his back then immediately went out again.

I can't, he said miserably. I'm sorry.

"That's okay, Cyndaquil," said Wave. "You tried."

"We can still find Ursaring's baby," said Levi. "Cyndaquil, return."

The cave was briefly illuminated by the red light of the Pokeball. When it did, Wave saw a small lake nearby, and inside it, a Water and Electric-type Pokemon, Chinchou, asleep in the water. Wave gasped. A Chinchou could light up its antennae. If she could catch it...

"Ursaring, listen," said Wave. "I just saw a Chinchou. I'm going to try and catch it so we can use its light to find Teddiursa."

A good plan, but how do you plan to catch it in this darkness? said Ursaring.

"I'll try my best," said Wave. "If I can't catch it, I'll just ask it to help."

She inched her way over to the lake.

Be careful, said Psyduck, who had been silent up until then. She stayed close to Wave, as did Totodile.

They soon reached the lake. "Totodile, go wake up Chinchou," said Wave. "Carefully."

Totodile jumped into the water. A moment later, it was lit up by the now-awake Chinchou, which didn't look pleased to be woken up. Totodile quickly got out of the water, and Chinchou followed him to the surface.

Why did you wake me up? he demanded.

"Chinchou, can you help us? We need your light to find a Teddiursa," said Wave. "Ursaring's son is lost in here and we can't see."

Why doesn't Ursaring just track Teddiursa by scent? asked Chinchou.

If I could, I already would have, said Ursaring, please, help me.

Chinchou was silent for a long moment. Fine, he said. Is he deeper in the cave?

Ursaring nodded.

"Come on," said Wave. "Are you coming Levi?"

"Of course," he replied. "Let's go."

Totodile and Psyduck went in the water and swam next to Chinchou as he led them into the cave. He was grumbling about having his nap interrupted, but Wave was just glad he was helping. She felt sorry for Ursaring, even though she was upset that she'd scared Cyndquil.

Listen, said Ursaring. I'm...sorry for hurting your friend. I'm just worried about Teddiursa.

"I understand," said Wave. To Levi, she said, "Ursaring is sorry she chased Cyndaquil."

Levi smiled. "It's okay. I'm just glad Cyndaquil is okay." He laughed. "I thought he ran away from me."

"I told you he didn't," said Wave. She paused. "Wait. Look over there." she pointed to a small indentation in the cave wall, where a Teddiursa was curled up, asleep. He was shivering and looked injured.

Oh, no, said Ursaring. She went over and held Teddiursa in her arms. He's hurt.

Wave approached and felt Teddiursa's head. "I think he's sick. He has a fever." She looked up at Ursaring. "Will you let us take him to the Pokemon Center? They could help."

Ursaring looked like she would argue, but Chinchou said, You'd better let her, for your son's sake.

Ursaring finally nodded and gave him over to Wave. Wave took off her jacket and wrapped Teddiursa in it. "Let's go." She turned to Chinchou. "Can you help us get out of here? We need to get Teddiursa out of here."

Yeah, sure, grumled Chinchou. Come on.
