Chapter 10
Luc
I felt something move beside me. That was the first think I felt as I woke up. I opened my eyes to see Kate stretching on the end of my bed. I didn't even remember her going to sleep beside me because I had fallen asleep almost as soon as I shifted. I was still tired but I had to get everyone up before they came to check the rooms. I looked over to Neil's bed and found it was empty. Kate walked over to Vyker's bed and said " Vyker get up you need to change." Vyker got up without a word walked to the bathroom as I stood up and stretched felling the soreness from the climb. I reached into the my bag and with difficulty extracted my new uniform with my paws. Vyker came out of the bathroom in his human form with causal looking clothing on.
I passed him and walked into the bathroom to shift. Before I shifted I took a closer look at the uniform the I had been supplied with. It was a black long sleeve jacket with gray stitching and cargo pants that matched the jacket. Flipping the jacket over I noticed the emblem that was printed on the back it was a pokeball but instead of the top being red it was a dark gray and the bottom retained its original white coloring. I soon after shifted and put on the clothing. While doing so I felt items in one of the pockets. Interested I took the out to see what they were. I found a set of flags and other items that I needed to use to do my job and a pokeball clip for my belt. Stuffed inside the clip was a cloth I opened it and found a small handkerchief with an emblem that matched my jacket.
With these new finds I walked out of the bathroom. Vyker was waiting by the door along with Kate who had turned back into a Jolteon to prevent any confusion among the people that had seen her. We walked out into the lobby which was packed with people who had gotten a head start on their traveling and work today. I walked to the front door as Vyker seemed to see something and walk off with Kate on his own. I walked outside and saw Neil putting his pokeballs back into his belt. He saw me smiled and said " They put up a great fight yesterday and earned this." he said pulling out a badge and placing his second one into his case. "So I let them all out to enjoy the sun a bit before we headed out."
"Nice your already one fourth of the way to becoming eligible for the league competitions." I said ecclesiastically.
Neil just smiled as we walked back to the pokecenter to gather our stuff. We walked into the red building and parted ways. Neil went to get our stuff while I looked for Vyker. I found him talking to a girl who looked to be in her twenty's. The girl had a blue dress and was talking to Vyker excitedly. I started to wait for them to get done talking. The girl saw me and got quiet for a second and whispered to Vyker. Vyker then turned around and waved me over. " This is the person that I was telling you about."Vyker said as I reached him.
"Why did you call us over for this it could have waited until you reached us." she said more confused than annoyed.
"Luc here has a tracker on him." Vyker replied earning a look understanding on her face. " I want him to be able to contact us for help when he needs it." Vyker continued.
"I know who can teach him fast ,but first lets introduce him to every body that's here so they will not attack him when he has to fight with us." The last sentence she said caught me off guard.
" Fight?" I asked questionably.
"If worse comes to worse and the hunter dose catch up to you you will able to call on us for help and if every body knows who you are we don't have to worry about our side attacking you."she said and then added, " by the way the names Rachel."
"Where is everyone?" asked Vyker before I could respond.
"I am the only one they sent over the mountain we are going to do this meeting while communicating with them." Rachel said as she turned and started walking. I followed Vyker as he stepped out the door.
"Hey wait for me!" Neil called earning a look of confusion from Rachel as he raced across the lobby. When she saw Vyker was ok with Neil she didnt say a word but continued walking. We walked toward the mining museum and entered the building. The lack off people inside the museum both comforted me and made me nervous at the same time. We then contiued onward up to the second story ans as soon as we reached the top of the stares we turned into a room, inside this room was nothing really just a long table with eight chairs all empty. Vyker told Neil to wait outside then shut the door.
" Is this the place." Vyker asked.
"Yes it is she said with a smile." With out anything else said Vyker turned into his pokemon form earning a look of interest from Rachel as I quickly followed suit.
"Not hiding behind your shadows anymore Vyker?" Rachel asked as if she had found a prize.
"That game was getting old anyway." Vyker responded with a grin suddenly I felt a huge wave of energy wash over me and then Vyker was suddenly still.
"He is using long rang telepathy it requires you to be completely still and uses a lot of energy." Rachel responded turning away from her playful tone to a more serious one. "Do exactly as I tell you and you will be with him in a few minuets." she continued. " First sit down and close your eyes and gather all you energy in one spot if you can. When that is accomplished I am going to use what physic ability's that I have to guide you."
I sat down and and closed my eyes finding out how to condense my aura into one spot was a bit difficult but after a few trys I did it. "Nice now hold on for a sec this is going to be very confusing." Before I could say anything I felt like someone threw me up into the sky I opened my eyes in fear and saw I was rocketing up into the sky at impossible speeds the I noticed I was somewhat transparent. By the time I realized this I was slowing down and stopped I was floating in the sky about a mile or two above Oreburgh. I thought about Vyker then out of nowhere he appeared next to me.
"Wow that was fast." he said looking at me. The next thing I knew I was in a large group of pokemon who seemed to be looking at me. Some just took a quick look and disappeared others stayed a while talked a bit and left. Finally a small green creature appeared that I immediately recognized as Celibi. The green fairy like pokemon flew over to me smiled and then disappeared. "That's what we came for." Vyker said. He pulled my arm then I felt myself get pulled down to earth. I opened my eyes and realized how tired I was.
"Who was there asked." Rachel who was siting in a chair.
"No one really they sent Rodge he looked a bit then disappeared to his own little world to tell everyone." was Vykers reply.
Rachel then turned her attention to me. "How was you first long range telepathy sequence."
"It was confusing and strange?" I said I was about to continue before Vyker interrupted.
"The first time is always confusing it becomes easier to understand ."
Soon after we discussed the short event we shifted back and left. We walked around a bit before heading back to the pokecenter. When we walked toward the pokecenter we noticed Kate still in Jolteon form with a weak looking Vaporeon by her side. As we approached the Vaporeon he looked a bit scared then Kate started talking to him and his face lightened up before he slowly limped toward us. As soon as he reached me he nuzzled my hand before doing the same to the others but didn't say anything.
We walked into the center and talked to one of the assistants and Neil checked the Vaporeon out of the pokecenter. When we returned outside Rachel was gone. I walked up to Vyker and asked "Where did Rachel go?"
"She left while you two where signing papers to check Vaporeon out." replied Vyker.
"What are we going to do now?" I asked earning a look of confusion from the group. Vyker thought for a second the answered.
"I suggest we follow Neil through his challenge for now. If we don't lose the tracker soon we can get some help and fend him off." With that said we decided to head north to Eterna city. After the Vaporeon fell asleep Neil returned him to his pokeball .We walked in to grab our stuff and where out of the city just as the sun passed over our heads. We had decided that we where going to camp again.
As soon as we started to see the cycling road we veered right in to the woods. As soon as we got far to where we could not see the road Vyker shifted and I follow suit. It felt good to get back into my pokemon form each time I shifted back into my human form I felt restricted and vulnerable.
"Its about time you shifted I was dieing for some people to talk to." Kate said and then continued. "The Vaporeon talked to me a bit before the humans came in after that he went silent."
"What did he say." I asked wanting to know more about our guest.
"Nothing much he just wanted to thank the people who saved him he seemed kind off shy if you ask me." Kate answered and then continued. "When the docters came in he looked like he was about to freak out so I had to calm him down soon after that he wouldn't talk of acknowledge anything I said."
I thought about what Kate said before letting it go for now we would have to question the Vaporeon when we decided to make camp. We reached the field that ran underneath the bike trail as the sun started to set turning the sky a light shade of orange. The group we had made a lot of progress but about halfway across the huge field Neil started to slow down. Vyker pleased with how far we had made today seemed content to make camp soon so we found a couple of trees near by and made a small camp.
I walked over to Neil and asked him to let Vaporeon out. He found the pokeball and released him. When he was released I realized he was still asleep. So we started to cook food as waited for him to wake up. As soon as we were done cooking Neil placed the food we had brought with us in a little plates and set them out for everyone. Soon after that Neil told us he had yo walk a bit I was about to question why but decided not to press the matter.
When he set one in front of Vaporeon his nose twitched. A moment later the Vaporeon opened his eyes. He looked around taking in his new surroundings before returning his attention to his food. At first he was hesitant only tasting the food soon after he started to eat the food at a regular pace. We all ate in silence and seemed to to be thinking the same thing as we watched Vaporeon finished his food.
Vaporon looked up at us and then sighed. He looked both at me and Vyker before asking, "Is Kate here or dose her trainer have her in her pokeball." He asked sounding a lot less nervous than he looked. Kate walked up to Vaporeon She looked tired and and shifted back as she approached him. This caught him completely off guard as he back away from the evolution light but then relaxed with a confused face when he saw the small Eevee came from the light. Even though he was a bit scared he let Kate approach him.
Kate walked up to him and asked "What do you need?" Sounding a bit excited that he had decided to talk to her.
"Where are the humans from earlier." He asked looking around confused.
"We are here." I said causing the Vaporeon to look at me confused.
"They are like me." Kate said as she jumped up to the first branch of a small tree we had set up camp by.
The Vaporeon got up and then walked a bit closer to the fire as he got closed I noticed his wounds where healing a little faster than we thought they would. The dissolving stitches were already starting to fall off by themselves. He looked into the fire for a bit before responding.
"What are you going to do to me." When he said this it was a bit emotionless like he didn't really care. The way he said it unnerved me and everyone else around me. The reason it bothered me so much is that he didn't ask about our ability's he seemed to be preoccupied in his thoughts. He continued to to sit there waiting for a response.
"We are not going to anything to you we just wanted to make sure you didn't die. You can stay as long as you like but you can leave as soon feel better." Vyker replied. The Vaporeon seemed satisfied and a bit relived by the answer he received.
Kate jumped down from the tree and walked over to the Vaporeon. "What happened to you on mount Cornet."
When Kate asked this the Vaporeon seemed like he was hurt with the question. He looked like he was about to say something before hesitating and answering " I would rather not talk about that right now." After saying this he decided to walk to the treeline were Kate had been and stretched out on the floor lost in thought. Soon after Neil came back and went to where he had unpacked his sleeping bag.
Kate followed suit choosing to sleep in the tree next to Vaporeon. Thinking over every thing that had happened today and how Vaporeon had reacted. Just then I heard something moved in the bushes looking over taking a defensive position I waited when nothing happened I walked away to find a nice spot to sleep. Vyker said he was going to stay up just as I found a place by the fire. I nodded as he walked off and soon drifted to sleep.
