Chapter Seven

Wisp's Plan

Jolt

I shook my head as if to shake the voice out. "Who are you?" I hissed.

It's me! Wisp! She sounded annoyed.

"Come to think of it, you sound familiar…"

I am communicating with you telepathically! I have a plan to help you do more damage against Zoroark!

"A plan sounds good." I admitted. "What is it?"

So, if you want to beat Zoroark, you will have to do enough damage at once to knock him out or else Cassius will just heal him again. In order to do that, you need more power. Knock out the electricity in this place and it will charge the air enough to power up your next move. But you only have one chance. Are you up to it? "I will do anything to beat Cassius." RIght. Now, go!

I dodged another attack and ran down the back stairs, since I felt faint traces of electricity from down there. "Running away, coward?" Zoroark mocked as he followed me. I got there a few seconds before Zoroark and scanned the room for the electricity box. I saw it and used Thunder Shock on it. But my attack was absorbed by the box. Dammit! I only have electric type moves!

You dummy! Electric type moves won't work on it!

"I figured!" I muttered, "Well every move in my moveset is electric type or status moves! How to I break it now?"

Trick Zoroark into doing it for you! Get him so riled up he uses a move in your direction while you stand in front of the electricity box and dodge at the last minute so it hits the box!

"Okay!" I whispered and cut off the conversation. "Hey fox-face! Think you're so smart? Well, you're dumber than fox dung and smell twice as bad!"

"What did you say?" Zoroark was furious.

"I said that you're just a lousy fox with a mane! Stink like a fox, weak like a fox, twice as dumb as a fox!" I continued to taunt him.

"How dare you!" he howled and rushed toward me

Zoroark used Punishment!

That was all part of my plan. I stayed there until he was almost on top of me and leaped out of the way. The metal box shattered and so were the wires inside. I felt a tremendous amount of electricity charge the air.

Now!

Jolt used Mega Charged Discharge!

Zoroark was struck and fainted!

"Ha! Take that!" I briefly did a little dance to celebrate my victory. Cassius was not as happy. Party pooper.

"Team Darkness will be back, and when they are, you will fall!" he warned as he retrieved Zoroark into his pokeball and ran into the night. I was a little worried about his warning of "next time", but I knew my friends and I would be able to beat them.

I think you are forgetting something! We're still paralyzed!

"Oh right! Where do I find Cheri berries?"

The kitchen, dummy!

I ran into the kitchen with the last of my Agility-boosted speed, and quickly found some Cheri berries in the pantry. I took all the berries I could carry, including other helpful berries like Lum, Pecha, and Oran. I filled my bag with them and carried the rest up to my friends. It took ten trips to make it all. But eventually we were all freed from paralysis and together again. I put as much berries into the bags as we could carry and told the story of the battle between Zoroark and I.

Later, in the safety of an inn room, I retold my tale to the little ones. "And so, I quickly dodged out of the way at the last second and let Zoroark strike the box, releasing enough energy to use my Mega Charged Discharge!" Eevee, Bubbles, Leafia, and Nymph, being younger,, never tired of hearing that story and I loved telling it to them.

"Eevee, just a little warning to thoroughly examine any food you bring back before eating it, okay?" Glass cut in through my eighth retelling of the story.

"Okay!" Eevee cheerfully agreed, our latest disaster all but forgotten.

I finished the story quickly and threw myself on one of the 5 beds. We would have to share beds in order to fit us all and I am sharing with Bubbles. The Pokemon Center healed me, but I still felt physically exhausted, so I soon drifted off into a deep sleep.
