The Shiny Magnet
Chapter 9
Abby's Past
"The next contest is in Verdanturf Town, so I'll be expecting you there." Cole said outside of the Pokemon Center.
"Ok mom!" I replied since he was acting so mother like.
"I still have a few things to do here so you probably won't see me for a couple days." He said ignoring my comment.
"Um, Cole? Can I skip the speech and get going before it gets dark?" I asked as Abby and I sweatdropped.
"Oh sorry! Well then, seeya!" he said as Abby and I walked towards the north exit.
Traveling along Cycling Road…
It has been a few minutes since we left Slateport City and it was pretty quiet. Too quiet.
"Abby, do you think something is up?" I asked her, suspicious of the eerie silence.
"Ab…" she said trailing off. So far, we didn't encounter any wild pokemon and I felt more suspicious.
"Well anyway, we won't get lost will we?" I said trying to shed some light on the situation. Abby sweatdropped.
"Hey you!" I heard a voice behind me say. I turned around and saw a younger girl with black hair pulled into a ponytail, red eyes, and pale skin. She was wearing a black jacket, a short red skirt, and black combat boots. "I challenge you to a pokemon battle!" I was a little taken back by her request but recovered quickly.
"Um, ok…" I said accepting her challenge but Abby was acting very weird. She hid behind my legs, slightly shaking.
"Get out here Mightyena!" she said taking a pokeball from her belt and sending out a black canine.
"How about it Abby? You feel like a little spar?" I asked her behind my legs but she shook her head. "Hm, ok then!" I took Barley's pokeball from my belt and sent her out.
"Ha! You think that an ugly little fish is going to stand a chance against my Mightyena. Think again!" the girl said. Her Mightyena snorted a laugh.
"Who are you? I barely even now you and you're mocking my pokemon!" I asked.
"I'm Regret Fubuki, the strongest trainer alive! And I guess I can waste my time to learn the name of the loser…" she replied utterly proud of herself.
"I'm Meena Yuki and this is Abby." I introduced moving out of the way so she could see Abby.
"WHAT? You're still alive?" she said astonished when she saw Abby.
"What are you talking about?" I said as Abby tensed up and seemed more frightened than before.
"That worthless little Absol you have. She used to be mine." Regret said bitterly. I turned to look at the frightened Abby.
"Is this true?" I asked her softly as she nodded her head. "Aw, it's ok. I'm not mad at for that!" Abby raised her head, her eyes showing the slightest flicker of hope.
"Ha! She couldn't beat herself out of a paper bag! She is so worthless she lost of this snotty beginner!" Regret said evilly and that was enough to make Abby run off.
"Abby! Wait!" I called but she was too far away to hear.
"See she doesn't even listen to her trainer!" she pointed out.
"What type of pokemon did he use?" I asked.
"He used a weak little Dustox! Why are you asking?" she snapped.
"Um, don't you know that Dark pokemon are weak against Bug type attacks?" I asked as her face was full of rage.
"Who cares! She was weak and thats that! You're not running away are you?" she replied as I looked back in the direction Abby ran away.
"No, so lets get this over with…" I said as Barley started to focus.
Battle Situation
Meena's Feebas, Barley vs. Regret's Mightyena
Battle Begin!
"Barley, jump into the stream!" I said motioning to the body of water beside us. Barley hopped towards the moving water and successfully submerged in the blue.
"Mightyena use Double Team at the bank!" Regret ordered. Mightyena ran to the bank of the stream and started to make illusions of him.
"Barley strife downstream and use Dragonbreath!" I called out as a green flamethrower was shot out of the water and at the line of illusions. Not long after, the real Mightyena was hit and the rest of the illusions faded away.
"Mightyena use Sand-attack on the water!" Regret said as Mightyena stood up shakily. 'He must have gotten paralyzed…' I thought looking at the hurt Mightyena kicking sand at the water with his back legs. The sand fell into the stream, making it difficult for Barley to see and breathe.
"Barley come up close and use Dragonbreath again!" I ordered. A small shadow appeared near the bank and the submerged Barley resurfaced, giving Mightyena a Dragonbreath in the face. Mightyena howled in pain and knocked out from paralysis.
"What? I lost? That's not possible!" Regret said astonished as she recalled her unconscious Mightyena. "Grr, this isn't the last time you'll see me Meena Yuki. Just you wait!" She turned heel and ran the opposite direction. I completely ignored her and called out all of my pokemon.
"Everyone we have to look for Abby! She ran away and I'm worried about her!" I briefly explained as Barley started to swim up stream, beginning her search. Chrnos searched in the thick bushes, trying to sniff out Abby's scent. Sukob floated around the area, looking high and low. Trey, Sheena, and I started to call to Abby on foot, traversing the thick grass.
Hours later…
"Abby! Where are you?" "Sableye eye sab!" "Combusk com en!" It has been a few hours after Abby's disappearance and still no luck. We all skipped lunch and continued looking. By the growling of my stomach, I could tell she was hungry. Suddenly, we heard a rustle in the bushes.
"Aron ar!" Chrnos said motioning for use to follow.
"Huh? You found Abby?" I said with some hope. Chrnos nodded his small head and started to lead the way through the thick bush. We cut through the bush and followed Chrnos, whom was walking towards the sound of rushing water. After cutting through several more bushes and thick grass, we were greeted to the sight of a small tree right next to a stream with a small ball of fur cuddled up under it. Barley was in the stream with Sukob hovering above the water.
"Abby!" I called out, running to the base of the tree with everyone trailing behind. "Oh Abby I was so worried!" I sat down beside her and scratching her back. She raised her head showing her dull, puffy blue eyes.
"Absol…" she said under her breath looking at the ground ashamed.
"Sableye!" Sheena tried to cheer Abby up with a handstand but failed horribly falling on her bum.
"See Abby? Sheena was worried too. In fact we all were, right?" I said as everyone agreed with me. However, Abby still had her eyes glued to the ground. Sukob floated towards her while Barley struggled to get on the bank but she ended up jumping too high and crashing into Sukob. Sukob came down with a crash landing, crashing into Sheena, who crashed into Trey, who nearly crashed into Chrnos, whom just go out of the way. Instead, he crashed into me and Chrnos got on top of the dog pile just for keeps.
"Bas?" Barley said hopping over next to Abby as I struggled to get the immense weight off my back. Sukob weighed practically zip, Sheena weighed around 20 pounds, Trey weighed about 40 pounds, and Chrnos weighed over 100 pounds.
"This is painful…" I said, as Abby couldn't help to snicker a little. "Someone please help me! I'm on the bottom of the dog pile and it weighs more than I do!" Chrnos, Sukob, Sheena, and Trey got off me as I stood up and stretched my aching body.
"Absol sol…" Abby said rubbing her soft mane against my leg. I crouched down to her size.
"Are you feeling better now?" I asked as she nodded her head. "Y'know there's no need to be afraid of Regret. You can just imagine her as a cranky Muk, all ugly and stuff." Sheena and Trey started to act out a scene where a cranky old Muk was eating everything in sight, terrorizing everything with its ugliness and the only one who could stop it was a heroic Absol. Just watching Sheena act out the part of the Muk made me hungry. Suddenly, Abby's stomach growled.
"Oh that reminds us… We skipped lunch…" I said as Sheena and I clutched our stomachs as Barley, Chrnos, and Sukob sweatdropped. Trey and Abby just shook their heads.
After setting up Camp…
"Alrighty! Dinner is served!" I announced as Sheena came rushing from playing with Trey and Chrnos. The sun was starting to set and I settled myself on a log that Sukob found in the bush. Abby rushed to her food with Barley on her back while Sukob, Trey, and Chrnos lagged behind. Sheena began to devour her food like always and started to steal some from Trey and Sukob. 'Regret Fubuki… Who is she anyway? I need to teach her a lesson someday…' I thought quietly eating my cup of instant ramen watching Trey and Chrnos fend off the ever-hungry Sheena. 'I wonder what she did to freak Abby out. Oh well, at least I know something about her.' I smiled as I stood up to help Abby and Sukob restrain Sheena while Barley watched in amazement. However, what I didn't know was that two green eyes were watching my every movement.
That's a wrap peoples! I thought that was short, was that short? It was short.
Maddie: Ryu-chu you are-
Me: A genius!
Patrick: No Fruit Loops, she was about to say that you are-
Neko: A Cereal Brand?
Maddie and Patrick: NO WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO SAY IS THAT YOU ARE -
Antwon: A really weird person who is in denial?
Nick: Look forward to Chapter 10. No what they are trying to say is that Ryu-chu is a short person. But she's still taller than Neko dispite being so short.
Me and Neko: GEE THANKS NICK OUR best FRIEND...
Antwon: Jedi Ninja...
Maddie: He didn't say that you were short Antwon...
Me: No he's just facing reality and saying he's short.
