Chapter nine. Sorry if it took me so long, but here's the chapter filled with action and stuff. I've started driving school today but have no fear it's only in the morning so, it won't cause any problems with updating. I'm also going into my sophomore year of high school so; I'm use to the high school schedule so when school starts it won't be trouble. Enjoy and review!
Reason I'm late updating... It seems my internet went down and I couldn't get back online for about three days. So, although I wanted to update I couldn't and with the internet working now I finished the chapter and here it is.
As the morning sun was now settled high in the sky the group all were showered and well feed for the day.
"I can't believe Crystal is fully healed" Samantha explained as she dried off her wet hair and begun to do it.
"Well it wasn't a bad fever or anything, but I've never scene any fever pass by that fast" Arai explained as she sat on the edge of her bed putting on her shoes on.
"We're just lucky Nurse Joy had some sort of special medicine she uses for fevers on Pokemon that works on human fevers too" Emma explained as Crystal came out all ready for the day and was well rested
"Well we better get going Alex and Tyler is waiting in the lobby" Victoria explained as they nodded in agreement and with this they all finished getting ready. As the locked the room up they all disappeared into the elevator and with this the girls were headed down stairs.
"It's great to hear from you boys" Richard laughed as the video phone allowed them to have a conversation and see each other at the same time, as the two boys sat in the hotel lobby waiting for the girls to arrive.
"Yeah, it's been pretty wild" Alex chuckled as he rubbed the back oh his head and sighed lightly.
"Well, from what you've told me I can tell you kids have been through a lot" Richard laughed as he had been on the video phone with the two boys for about twenty minutes now.
"Yeah, the girls are doing great and they've been really getting stronger" Tyler explained as he playful karate chopped the air trying to represent their strength.
"Well, just remember your their body guards and it seems their parents are getting a bit worried about you kids" Richard explained as he released a light sigh and seemed like he was a bit un-sure about what was going on.
"What do you mean worried, we're body guards?" Tyler asked curiously.
"They realized you're all kids and as we all know kids tend to...well...you kids might form some sort of bond that's above friendship" Richard explained as he shrugged at them as he didn't see the problem there, but he knew the girl's parents did.
"Sir, we're pros at this we never get that close to a client" Tyler explained as his eyes drifted over to Alex who was standing there.
"Right Alex?" Tyler asked as he starred at his friend from the corner of his eyes.
"Right" Alex said as he looked at the screen and smiled at, Richard.
"Well it's time you boys should be getting back to work, I'll talk to you soon" Richard explained as the two body guards nodded and with this the screen went black. As the two turned around they could see from the corner of their eyes the girls exiting the elevator and with this the joined them.
"So, Crystal you're all well rested?" Alex asked as the two groups joined together and begun to make their way outside the hotel. As it had stopped raining the tunnels were still floated, the fossil thieves had been turned in to the local police, and the gym was close due to the fact the gym leader was busy helping in the tunnels.
"Yeah, what ever Nurse Joy gave me it really did work" Crystal explained with a light smile as she was a bit nervous of the close call she just had, but was happy she was alright.
As the group left the hotel's grounds they could see a few people going about their morning bossiness, as the trainers walked down the street they could see there wasn't much to do around the so called city. As the group of trainers turned around into a empty street they could see a old fashion black car by the side walk as a man sat in the driver's seat, as the group of trainers kept walking Alex caught something in the corner of his eye. The man lower lip was shaking a bit and his hands which were gripping the steering wheel were shaking, it was obvious he was nervous and debating if he should drive.
"Wait here, guys" Alex explained as the group nodded as they were curious what he was doing. Alex released Luxio who would be his back up if the man seemed to go crazy for some reason, approaching the car the old man looked up and his face didn't change as he saw the young boy.
"What do you want?" The man snapped at Alex as he wore glasses with small frames that were placed at the edge of his nose. He wore brown pants, with a white button up shirt that was neatly tucked into his shirt, and he had an old wrinkly tie that dangled from his neck as the collar of his shirt was un-done.
"Just wanted to know if everything was alright with you sir, you seem off the edge?" Alex asked curiously as Luxio gave Alex a look which, meant he could sense no harm or danger from the man.
"How do you know if I'm off any edges near by? You don't even know who I am!" The man barked at Alex as he just snapped at that moment. As Alex stepped back and Luxio got into a fighting stance, the man seemed to take control of himself. As Luxio still believed the man was no harm Alex believed his Pokémon's senses and approached the man in the car again.
"I'm sorry, I've just been really stressed out lately" The man explained as he sighed loudly, rubbing his eyes the man turned off his car and turned to face the open window where the others had came to join, Alex and Luxio.
"Why?" Samantha asked curiously as she gave the man a bright smile that seemed to cheer him up slightly, but the memories of what had made hiss tress threw him back into a gloom.
"I live in the area near by the mines of this city as a doctor; I've been studying for many years in the deep wilderness over there. Yet, it seems a Pokemon hunter and two of his Pokemon have been scarring all the Pokemon away and been destroying the berries for my research" The man explained as there was a large wilderness area near the mines that had a single dirt road going through it, but was not shown on the map as a area that'd be important to travel on.
"I hate hunters they all deserve to die" Crystal muttered coldly as only Alex and Arai caught what she said, but ignored the comment.
"The hunter kicked me out of my house and threatened to kill me if I ever returned, I've been sitting here debating if I should return" The man explained as he ran his hands through his black hair and released a stress filled moan as he wasn't sure what to do.
"That's horrible" Victoria mumbled lowly as she could see a few things the man was able to gather before he was forced out of his house sitting in the back seat.
"It is...yet, I shall be returning!" The man shouted as he slammed his fist down on the wheel with rage and with this eh started up his car.
"Sir, you can't go!" Arai cried out as she grabbed his arm.
"She's right the hunter will rip you apart" Tyler explained as he stood in front of the car with the head lights flashed brightly on him.
"Well what do you want me to do? Sitting around as that man destroys my year's worth of work?" The man barked at them as it was more of a statement then a question.
Alex and Tyler looked at each other un-sure of what to do and turning to the girls they knew they had to help the man.
The car raced up the dirt road all full speed as the man sat in the driver seat, Crystal in the passenger, the girls shoved in the back seat, and their body guards were lucky enough to get to hold on from the bumper. The car raced up a dirt path that led up a grassy hill where, a large forest stood on the other side, and right between the two land forms was a three floored house.
"There it is" The man sighed as his hands slowly, begun to shake.
"It's ok" Crystal assured him with a smile as she placed her hand on his and with this the man felt his self-confidence come back.
"Great, now can you slow down?" Tyler cried as he was gripping the back of the car for dear life, but the man didn't hear the two boys.
Pulling up to the building the man turned off his car and stepped out, sighing everyone gathered up near by him.
"What's your name anyways?" Arai asked as her eyes were fixed on the open yard that led to the deep forest.
"Carter...that's all you need to know" The man as he approached the house and ran his hand down the front door before opening it. Entering the house he left the trainers standing in the front confused at what was going on at the moment.
"It seems the house is empty, he must be out" Carter explained as he popped his head out of the front door and motioned the kids to join him inside. As everyone pilled into the living room Carter entered the room carrying a brown bag full of research papers and other supplies he needed.
"Now what?" Emma asked as Carter just kept pilling boxes up on top of each other and seemed not to care about anything else.
"We ambush him" Carter laughed as everyone was shocked at this.
"Fight back?" Samantha asked shocked that the man wanted to win the old house, instead of escaping with his research like he could be doing at the moment.
"Yes, we out number the hunter" Carter explained with a grin and a look on his face that read the words revenge all over it.
Alex stood there un-sure if he could do this on the count he had been putting the girl's safety to risk too much and this could be his chance to take control of it. Yet, this man was obviously on the edge of going crazy and he'd lost everything because of one hunter. Before Alex could answer the revenge filled Carter, a bright light shinned through the windows blinding the trainers.
"What is that?" Victoria questioned as the all struggled to block their faces from the light.
"Oh no...I've scene that before" Carter muttered lowly as he froze in his foot steps.
"What is it?" Crystal demanded to know, but Carter didn't answer as the bright light just kept shinning.
"Carter what is that!" Alex shouted at him as he made sure Arai and Samantha were safely behind the near by sofa before he grabbed Carter. Shaking Carter by his collar Alex demanded to know, but with this all the windows shattered as a loud roar erupted close by.
"Get down!" Tyler cried out as he jumped towards Emma and as they hit the wooden floor hard, he formed a shield over her. Crystal's eyes widened at this as she leaped into a near by closet with Victoria, but Alex and Carter were caught standing up in the open. As the orange and yellow blast hit the house the walls were ripped apart and the beam shot inside, ripping a large hole in the house everything went into pure chaos.
"T-Tyler you saved me" Emma coughed lowly as she looked up to see Tyler above her grinning as debris of wood and furniture filled the open house.
"That's what I do" Tyler laughed lightly as he helped her up to see Crystal and Victoria emerge from the closet that was only half standing due to the attack.
"Where's Alex?" Crystal coughed as he stood up with Arai to see Carter and him were missing. With no warning a table that had been thrown into the wall by the blast fell over and with this Alex, with Carter by his side emerged from the safety of their shelter.
"Carter and I were hit against the wall" Alex explained with a low chuckle as he didn't want to worry anyone.
"We just got lucky that table didn't kill us" Carter stated as he approached the gapping hole in the house as a cloud of dust covered their attacker. Crystal observed the house as what ever attack had hit the house had ripped the house into two and dug a foot into the hard rock ground.
With no warning Carter raced forward and disappeared in the dust, leaving the trainers alone still confused from the un-suspecting attack.
"Go Pidgeotto! Gust" Tyler ordered as Pidgeotto exited his poke' ball and with this begun to flap his wings with great strength causing the dust to disappear.
Standing before them as Carter with his back to them as a very large Tranitar, an angry Houndoom, and a large Skarmory with a man standing near by them. The man was a bold man with tiny eyes, he was very large on top of it, and was very over weight. He wore black shorts and sadly for everyone's vision he was shirtless.
"Looks like the tiny researcher brought friends" The man laughed as a second man joined the fat hunter, this man was tall and slim, he had spikey blond hair, and wore black pants with a long blue coat.
"Yes, I guess he was afraid of dying alone" The skinny man laughed as everyone could see the large blade he had holstered on his black belt that was wrapped on the outside of his coat.
"Alex..." Arai muttered lowly.
"It's ok" Alex told her as he stepped in front of the shaking girl assuring her he'd keep her and the others safe.
Carter stepped back nervously as he knew the Tranitar had used a very powerful hyper beam and in a few minutes he'd be able to use another one. As Carter's foot glided back it hit a stray piece of ply wood and as the two collided he fell backwards hitting the ground hard. As he did the fat hunter laughed amused by this and begun to make his way over to the scared researcher who was trapped. As the fat hunter did this the Houndoom did the same but unlike the man the Pokemon reserved a blast of fire to the face.
"Houn" Houndoom growled as he darted his eyes upwards to see Crystal with her Quilava out and Emma with her Houndoom out ready to fight.
"Funny, little girls want to fight" The fat hunter laughed as it was obvious he didn't have much brains in the large body of his.
"Funny the fat guy knows how to speak" Tyler snickered as he stood tall and proud with his Pokemon near by him.
"Oh, you'll regret that" The skinny hunter stated as the fat hunter's eyes were fixed on the blond body guards and out of no where he launched himself into the air. As his fat body shot up into the sky everyone wanted in amazement as he was able to go higher then the building.
"You see we're no normal hunters" The skinny one laughed as he pulled out his blade and begun to approach the others. With this the fat hunter crashed into the house and just missed Tyler as he rolled out of the way.
"Old man we said we'd kill you if you returned and we keep our promises!" The hunter laughed as everyone's heart just sank at this moment.
"We have to help them" A twelve year old boy with light brown hair and sea green eyes that seemed to show his friendly spirit. He wore black jeans and a sleeveless black shirt. Beside him were two others who also were hiding in the bushes him watching the battle that was going on.
"Xenik we have to wait" A fifteen years old boy assured him as he sued the boy's name. The other boy like the other boy was skinny, but this one was much taller. He wore pale blue jeans with leather combat boots, he had on a black sweat shirt with the hood up so it covered his messy black hair, and his reddish-brown eyes scanned the area carefully.
"But Freddy they need our help" The twelve year old blond hair girl explained as he sea green eyes struggled to watch the battle that was going on before her. Unlike the first boy who wore all black she wore all white which consisted off white jeans, a sleeveless shirt, and a white sleeveless tight sweat shirt with of the hoddie down.
"Trixikan if we just jump if we'll be no help, we have to ambush them" Freddy explained to the girl as the three of them came upon the battle scene and now they wanted to help.
Cliff Hanger! Sorry if there's a few grammer mistakes my spelling check is still messed up, enjoy!
