Chapter 10: Mission! Protect Pikachu! Part 1

Breloom's Pov.

Picking up claw-fulls of dirt, I tossed it to the side. I could hear Larvitar not too far from my position. Cursing on and on about how "stupid" this plan was. Then again, no one could come up with anything better than this.

Totodile was the only one who stepped up to the challenge. Everyone else would just be running in blindly. But Totodile, he thought about his options before he acted. At least, when it came to battling, he did. When it came to everything else, he was a clueless idiot.

I snapped myself out of the daze I had put myself in. Time was running short and I needed to get back to work. Though things would be so much faster if Larvitar or I knew Dig. I just needed to make it to the last tunnel, so it shouldn't be too much longer.

Then I finally made it."Finally!" I shouted in victory as I broke through the wall and reached another tunnel. I was covered with dirt and sweat thanks to all of my digging.

"Time to head back up to the others." I dusted my claws off and turned back. I looked at my work as I was walking by. It was terrible.

"Well, its no Dugtrio tunnel, but it'll do." I smiled at the tunnel even though it was a haphazard job. As I was walking down the tunnel I would stop once in a while to listen for Totodile and the others.

Shouting could be heard from above. "Looks like everything is already in motion!" I laughed at the angry shouts, and started running down the tunnel. It wasn't long before I came across Larvitar.

"Glad to see you're done." He was just as, if not more, filthier than me. I continued on past him and reached the end of the tunnel. The exit would be right above my head.

"I really hate his plans." Larvitar said, hanging his head tired.

"I will say this," I looked at Larvitar smiling, "His plans do require a little effort." I climbed up towards the exit.

"Yeah!" Larvitar yelled after me,"But why can't he just come up with a simple plan!"

I laughed at the comment. Once I was up and out of the hole, I looked down at Larvitar and waited for him to climb out. "It's Totodile," I laughed, "Nothing is simple with him involved."

"Good point!" Larvitar groaned out as he pulled himself out of the hole. I looked away from Larvitar to Totodile. The idiot was running like crazy in all directions, trying to get away from the swarm chasing him.

Totodile's Pov.

"BAD IDEA! BAD IDEA! BAD IDEA! BAD IDEA! BAD IDEA! BAD IDEA! BAD IDEA!" I chanted, running away from the massive hoard of Ariados. Random flashes of lights and explosions expanding all around me.

I dove behind the cover of fallen trees, just dodging a shower of Poison Sting. I placed a paw over my fast beating heart. "Arceus, I'm cutting this close," I mumbled to myself.

Not bothering to look back and see how close they were, I took off running again. "Solarbeam!" An Ariados shouted its attack. I jumped up and spun my body around so I was now facing the Ariados. The attack was coming from my left, so when I was finally facing the oncoming attack I countered.

"Water Gun!" I shouted before I felt the water start rushing up my throat. I held my breath in to build up the pressure before letting it out. Just in time too, as the Solarbeam was just about hit me before my water gun collided with it and saved me.

The blast, from the collision of our two attacks, sent me into the air and further from the Ariados. I flipped through the air and landed on my feet, taking a 360 turn on my hind paws to continue my running. "Almost there!" I smiled to myself.

Jumping all over the place, I dodged each attack coming at me. Even though I was almost at the required destination, the others still weren't ready. "Come on guys, you need to hurry it up!"

Things were starting to become overwhelming. I was getting surrounded, and the attacks were relentless. I was hit multiple times by a Poison Sting and Sludge Bomb. The two types of attacks exploding against me.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" I yelled as I bounce back and collided with the ground. I quickly struggled to stand. But was stopped as I felt something grab hold of my back. "Huhh?" I gasped at the sudden feeling.

I was suddenly pulled back being dragged toward the Ariados. "Oh no you don't!" I quickly pushed myself off the ground, sending my body in the direction I was being pulled in. Then I quickly reached around and grabbed the string shot the was used to pull me.

I recognized the Ariados in front of me. "Aah! You're the Ariados from before. The one that almost had me, but thanks to Breloom didn't get the chance." I smiled. "Looking for revenge? Or maybe you just like me that much now?" I said with a wide grin.

The other Ariados were now standing still, and in the exact place I wanted them in. Now I just needed to wait for the signal, and this would all be over.

"As if! The first reason is a more likely choice!" The Ariados in front of me yelled. I laughed at her as she gave me a glare that almost matched Combusken's. But Combusken's glares were scary, this Pokémon's glare was more of a intimidating kind of thing.

"You find your situation funny, reptile?!" I nodded my head, which cause every Pokémon around me to give a strange look. I held in my laughter which came out as a snicker. It was the old man Ariados' turn to talk now.

"You really have a death wish, don't you?!" He asked, walking out of the crowd from my right. "Or is it that he's just that dumb?"

I glared at the Ariados in front of me. "Hey! I'll have you know, my mother always said I was the brightest in the family and there were 141 of us! Not including the relatives!" I said with a childish pout on my face.

They were all giving me a dumbfounded look. "Yep…you're just stupid," The female Ariados chimed in, seeming exasperated.

I flinched a little as a sudden light flashed into my eyes, then it vanished. I grinned at the female Ariados in front of me. "Oh, am I now?" I said, gripping the string shot even tighter.

"What...?" Her eyes widened in shock.

"Let's play a bit of tug-of-war." I said. I pulled on the string shot, and rotated my body around to the left. The Ariados' strength on the other end was weakening as I pulled harder. Then, as I finished turning back around, I flung the webbing over my left shoulder, bringing the shocked Ariados with it.

"Aaaaaaaah!" She cried out as I pulled her with the webbing and brought her over my shoulder. The Ariados went over my head and crashed right into the old man Ariados.

"ELDER!" The rest of the Ariados clan shouted.

"You should've just let go. Now you're all stuck in the mud!" I laughed out. The female Ariados that had a hold of me was now resting upside down on top of the old man. With her legs curled up as if she had just been whacked by a giant newspaper, causing me to laugh even harder.

"Grandpa! Aee!" I stopped my laughing after I hear the tiny voice cry. "What?" Looking in the direction of the voice, I almost didn't notice Spinarak running over.

"Spinarak." I spoke to myself look down at the tiny spider Pokémon running by me.

"Are you okay?!" He asked as some of the other Ariados helped the female Ariados off the old man. The female Ariados was out cold, and the old man was struggling to stand up.

"Slow down, old man. Don't want you to go and hurt yourself." I said in a mock concerned voice. He was shaking with anger as he got to his claws. "What? No "thank you" for actually caring if you're okay?"

He really looked ready to kill me now, but couldn't do anything as Spinarak attacked me. "String Shot!" I looked down at the voice and managed to catch the attack before it could wrap around me.

"Hey! What'd I do to you!?" I cried out glaring down at the kid. Spinarak stopped his attack and dropped the other end of the web.

"What are you doing?!" The small Pokémon yelled. I just looked down at him with a blank expression.

"I'm…. having fun?" I said in a way that was like asking, if this was the answer he was looking for.

"Idiot! Everyone is going to kill you!"

I just laughed. "No they're not! If anything, they're just going to be running in circles wondering where their chickens went!" I laughed.

Spinarak was getting even more angry. "How can you be so calm about this?!"

I was grinning from ear to ear. "Its because I've already won!" The face on Spinarak's back went from anger to pure confusion. As well as every Pokémon around me. I quickly reached down and grabbed hold of the spider Pokémon and picked him up, smiling.

"Put him down!" The old man yelled.

I just laughed back at him, "Trust me. You don't want me to put him down."

Pikachu's Pov. About 6 minutes ago.

"I don't know about this," I said, my voice filled with worry. Beedrill was now carrying Combusken bridal style.

Combusken was looking down at me. "Hey now, what's the matter?"

I looked around at the few others that were still with us. "I-I don't know." I said, looking back at the 'Fire' Pokémon.

The Pokémon gave me a strange look. "What do you mean?"

I was nervous to reply. "I don't know why. But something about flying," I stopped thinking if what I was about to say made any sense, "Scares me..." I placed my paws over my ears and lowered my head and curled my body into a fetal position.

"What's wrong with me. Why am I so scared?!" I could feel my eyes swell with tears. It was quiet and the stares I felt on me made the feeling even worse.

"Hey..." I froze when I felt Combusken's claws gently touch my head. Its claws and paw started rubbing my head softly. "Pikachu." I slowly moved my head to look up at the fire Pokémon. Its claw didn't leave my head. "Don't worry. I'll make sure to hold on tight to you. So you won't have to worry about falling." Its eyes looks soft and kind. "Trust me." The smile made me think twice about ignoring the Pokémon.

I looked away from Combusken to the ground. "Fine…but I'm going to need some help getting up." I said after some time, a blush spreading across my face. "Great. What's wrong with me now?"

"Right." Quagsire said, walking up to me. "Now try and be still. I don't want you to start squirming when I pick you up." I gave nod as the Pokemon reached down and wrapped its 'fins' around me. "Okay. I'm going to pick you up now." I ready myself, and waited for the Pokemon to lift me. I felt my body leave the ground and the pressure of the Pokémon's arms wrapped around me.

My first instinct was to move and get away as I felt a nagging pain start to build. I restrained myself and waited for Quagsire to place me on top of Combusken.

"Beedrill, could you land so I won't have to work to place Pikachu on ya?" I watched Beedrill comply as it stopped its hovering and landed on the ground.

"Beedrill. Crouch down so Quagsire can put Pikachu down quickly."

"Right." Beedrill said in a strange tone, that could be considered as annoyed. I watched the yellow Pokémon lower itself even further. "Okay, thanks." Quagsire then gently settled me down on top of Combusken, making sure not to harm me.

After Quagsire's arms left I felt another pair wrap around me. I looked up at Combusken's smiling face, my chin resting on its chest. I couldn't help but enjoy how warm Combuskens feathers felt. Then, without any warning, Beedrill started floating up into the air.

I couldn't even control my fear and movements. If it wasn't for Combusken's arms wrapped around me and the soft kind words it spoke, I would be struggling to get away.

"Shuuuuuush… It's okay….. It's okay." Combusken whispered into my ear. But even with the fire Pokémon's support, my body wouldn't stop shaking.

"Beedrill." Combusken looked up at the Pokémon that was carrying us. "I know we need to hurry, but I think it would be best take things slow. Just until he get used to it."

"That's fine. The others haven't signaled us yet, so until then I'll fly slow for him." I forced a smile, trying to tell them I was okay, even though I wasn't.

Beedrill slowly rose through the air flying near the place he needed to be. Below was Totodile surrounded by Ariados all around. "Will Totodile be okay?" I asked, looking up at Combusken.

Combusken laughed, a smile gracing its beak. "I know just by looking at him." It started looking down at the blue Pokémon. "He doesn't seem like much, but he's the strongest Pokémon I know." I could hear a strange emotion in its voice. "Don't worry about him. He's going to be fine."

Combusken had a bright smile on its face. "Wow…it's so confident in Totodile." I followed Combusken's movements and looked down at the ground. Totodile was smiling now.

"Looks like the guys are done." Beedrill said, causing me to look up at the bee Pokémon. "Wha?" I noticed a strange light travel from Beedrill's face to Combusken's.

"Great. The sooner this is over, the better." Combusken smiled. It was hard to tell, but Combusken was looking very weak. "Why? Why go through so much just to protect me?"

I looked down from Combusken to Totodile. "Why?"
