"Hi" pokemon speech
Hey guys! Bet you didn't expect a new chapter so soon huh! Did you already figure out what pokemon Jason's going to catch today?
"You got to be kidding me right?" Jason said bluntly as he stared into the entrance of the cave in route 204. He had packed up everything in a rush when Joseph said that particular pokemon could be found easily in the cave near where they were. But when Joseph actually told him what the pokemon was, he couldn't believe his ears.
"Not at all Jason," Joseph replied. Standing in front of the cave entrance, Joseph began to remember the sensation of adventure of walking into the unknown as well as the fear of what lies within the darkness. The feeling of finding new kinds of pokemon, meeting new friends, and seeing new sights with his very own eyes. Thats what kept Joseph being a trainer for all those years. "This is the best place to find it if thats what you really want."
"Well you could always wait at night," Nate added as he checked the batteries on his flashlights one last time. Nate had with him some climbing rope, a pack of glow sticks, four bottles of repel, three flashlights for himself, Jason, and Joseph, and finally one safety helmet. How he managed to fit all that in his backpack as well as tents, food, clothes, and his poke balls no one knew. "But I don't think that would work. Its kinda hard staying up all night looking for just one particular type of pokemon."
"Well then, here we go," Jason said as he walked into cave with Terra right behind him. Joseph was about to follow them when he realized that Nate was still checking his gear.
"You okay Nate?" Joseph asked concerned. Joseph was slightly confused as to why Nate would take so many safety measures. The cave they were heading to, also known as Jagged path, wasn't very large. There aren't any dangerous pokemon there and its pretty simple to reach the exit.
"Yeah," Nate replied nervously. "Just checking some stuff thats all."
"Well then come on. Jason's waiting for us," Joseph said as he walking into the darkness.
Nate looked at the entrance of the cave and swallowed his fear. 'You can do this' Nate thought to himself. Turning on his flashlight, he plunged into the darkness.
"Hey guys?" Nate said out load as he walked ever deeper into the cave. Making sure the helmet was firmly on his head, he continued to walk around aimlessly, looking for Jason and Joseph. How long has it been since he entered the cave? Has it been five minutes, thirty minutes, an hour? While he was deep in thought he then suddenly saw something fly by the corner of his eye.
"Hello?" Nate asked nervously. "Is anyone there?" Sweeping his flashlight back on forth, he was hoping to spot a glimpse of his friends. All he could see at the moment was rocks, rocks, and more rocks. Despite having three flashlights with him, Nate didn't feel secure enough to press on. Not alone that is.
"I need your help guys," Nate said as he released all his pokemon except Raptor. She couldn't help much anyways being a flying type here in this cave. In a flash of red light, Inferno, Chomp, King, and Champ appeared in front of him.
"Where the heck are we?" Inferno asked confused as he looked around. The last time he was out was when they were hanging out underneath some trees. Now they were in a dark, damp cave.
"We are in a cave genius," Chomp snapped. "It's obvious where we are. Whats not obvious is why you couldn't possible now that the moment we were sent out. We were told where we were going to be." Chomp hated those who acted foolish or couldn't take things seriously. He personally despised Inferno. First off simply for being a nuisance. Secondly for his foolish pranks and tricks he constantly pulls off.
"Hey!" Inferno said, his feeling slightly hurt. "No need to be hating on me for asking a simple question!"
"Both of you silence!" King demanded. King had enough of those two constant bickering over everything. In his group nothing like the sort ever happened. Mostly because anyone who did so was immediately banished. "As the alpha male of this group I shall make all decisions. My first command is for you, gabite, to eliminate this human. Do it swift and I might reconsider exiling you."
"Eliminate him?!" Inferno said shocked. Inferno knew that King was obsessed with being the 'alpha male' of the group but he didn't knew that the luxray was actually willing to kill Nate to do it. "Do you mean you want us to kill Nate!"
"But of course!" King barked. "He is not fit to lead. I shall take the rightful place as this drops leader by removing him." King then looked back towards Chomp to see that he had not yet done what he was told.
"Well then? Didn't I tell you what needed to be done? Get going!" King shouted, clearly annoyed. King was not used to this degree of laziness. Those underneath a leader should do what they are told when they were told. It did not matter what had to be done, all that mattered was how swiftly it was completed.
"You guys do know I can hear you right?" Nate said depressed. Knowing that one of your pokemon wanted to kill you was never a happy thought. It was even worse because most of the time when he let the gang out of their poke balls they would start fighting. It was mostly between King and Chomp but they would sometimes drag in the rest with their battles. Luckily for him Joseph was usually around to help him calm them down. This time however, Joseph wasn't here to help.
"Are you ordering me?" Chomp snarled as he walked up towards the luxray. "You have a lot of nerve ordering me around fur ball. Tell me what to do again and I will silence you permanently."
"You dare threaten your alpha male?" King shot back, his eyes burring with anger. "Talk to me in such a way again and you will not live to see another day."
"Bring it!" Chomp shouted as he rushed up towards King with a dragon claw. King crouched down, his fur crackling with electricity as he prepared to release a powerful thunderbolt.
"Enough!" Nate shouted, spraying both Chomp and King repel in their face. Chomp cried out as he staggered backwards, his face burring from the foul liquid while King tried unsuccessfully to wipe off as much repel as possible. "You guys have to stop fighting each other every time I send you guys out!"
"It's his fault," Chomp muttered as he wiped his eyes with his arm. This wasn't the first time Nate had to spray repel over his face to prevent him from fighting. Chomp has built a bit of a resistance to the repels effect but its effect still stung, just not as greatly as before. King had no such luck however as he rolled on the ground, cringing in pain.
"Why do you guys hate each other so much anyways?" Nate asked. "Can't you all get alone with each other?"
"Perhaps it's because Chomp and King share conflicting views," Champ suggested. He was used to seeing King and Chomp going at each other. Back when he was a wild machop, he would see this kind of rivalry all the time. Usually, the fighting won't stop unless one of the two was gone.
"We all got alone just fine until he showed up," Chomp grumbled as he wiped the last of the repel of his face. It still stung a little but he could handle it just fine. "He's the one that has a problem, not me."
"Silence," King grunted as the effect of the repel began to wear off. He slowly got back on his feet and tried shaking the rest of the repel of his face. "It is not my fault you fail to respect the clear leader of this group."
"I don't care who's fault it is!" Nate shouted. Nate has had enough with this constant bickering. It was starting to drive him crazy constantly hearing them argue over the smallest of things. "If you both keep on fighting I'll spray an entire can of repel on both your faces!"
"I wouldn't mind seeing that," Inferno snickered at the thought of seeing both King and Chomp rolling around in circles on the ground.
"Quiet," Champ said as he casually smacked Inferno at the back of the head. Not enough to cause a bruise but a hard enough to get the message across. "This isn't the time for that."
"Fine. Sheesh," Inferno muttered as he rubbed the back of his head. He kept on forgetting that Champ was around. The big guy tended to fade into the background so most people wouldn't notice him.
"So, while you two stop fighting or do I have to get two cans of super repel right now?" Nate asked as he eyed both Chomp and King, daring them to question his authority. Just in case they were planning to attack each other, he brought out an extra can of repel. Chomp and King looked at each other and they both knew what to do.
"We'll stop for now," Chomp grumbled. Putting up with that luxray for a few days was better then getting sprayed with that kind of stuff. Besides, maybe King would simply have enough and leave.
"Agreed," King said as he eyed Chomp. King didn't trust the Chomp at the slightest, but he was given no choice. All he could do now was wait for the right moment to strike. Nate sighed in relief as he put the repel away.
"Good. Now inferno, light the way," Nate said. Nate was thrilled that Chomp and King had put away their differences for now. He was just worries on how long it would last.
"Roger that boss man," Inferno said as he made the fire on his tailing bigger, illuminating the cave they were in. Nate turned off his flashlight as he looked around. The cave was a lot bigger then he thought it was. The ceiling was ten feet above his head with the occasional stalagmite doting the rough in a strange pattern. Near the entrance in which he entered from, a lone psyduck was looking at the group curiously. When Champ turned around, sensing that they were being watched, the psyduck quickly waddled away.
"Great," Nate said. "Now we can find Jason and Joseph."
"Do you mean the small kid and the tall guy?" Chomp asked. Chomp wasn't all that great with names. It was a lot easier to simply call others by their physical appearances or by what they have done.
"Yeah. Have you seen them?" Nate asked, concerned. Nate was worried that Jason and Joseph might have left him behind. True, he could just leave the cave and have Raptor fly him to floroma town, but what if they were in trouble? He just couldn't leave them behind.
"They're right over there," Chomp said as he pointed towards his left. Nate looked at where Chomp was pointing and he saw both Jason and Joseph with their pokemon sitting around a lantern. It looked like they were having a snack while they talking amongst themselves.
"Hey guys!" Nate said happily as he jogged over. Nate was overjoyed by the fact that he had found his friends. "I'm over here!"
"Come on guys! Lets go!" Inferno said excitedly. It wasn't the idea of seeing them that made him happy, it was the thought of eating some food. He was starting to get hungry despite just eating a few minutes ago. Champ looked back at King and Chomp, pointing his head towards the Nate, saying silently 'you following or not?'
King and Chomp looked at each other before nodding their heads. Satisfied with their answer, Champ quickly followed his trainer.
"Oh hi Nate," Joseph said as he looked over his shoulder. He was getting worried that Nate had lost his way and had to be rescued. "What took you so long?"
"Nothing too serious," Nate replied as he sat beside Jason. Jason was eating an apple and had both Terra and his ralts out. Terra was sitting beside him, eating whats appears to be an oran berry, while his rats was sitting on next to her, casually playing with his poke ball. Joseph had Mystique and Aura out with him. Mystique was sitting beside him with her arms crossed behind her head while Aura was busy reading a book.
"So Jason, did you catch that pokemon yet?" Nate asked.
"Not yet," Jason replied as he took another bite from his apple. "I asked Joseph about how I would catch it but he just said I had to wait."
"So how long do we have to wait?" Nate said as he got out a bottle of water.
"Up until Aura gets the right signal," Joseph answered. He then looked over at Aura. "Got anything?"
Aura closed her eyes, activating the power of the aura inside her and scanning the area for the pokemon in question. In a few moments she opened her eyes and nodded her head. "Its time," Aura stated as she put her book down.
"Well then lets get ready guys," Joseph said as he got up and stretched his arms. "The sooner we do this the sooner we can of to floroma town."
"I'm ready!" Jason shouted as he hopped to his feet. Jason did that so suddenly that his ralts fell off of his lap and would've hit the rocky ground, if Aura hadn't used psychic to catch him.
"You need to be more careful," Aura told Jason telepathically, as she used her powers to put the ralts down. "If your too reckless then you'll put yourself and others in danger."
"Sorry," Jason said, slightly embarrassed. Jason then picked up his ralts's poke ball, to the ralts dismay. "I'm sorry about that making you fall earlier ralts but now I need you to be in you poke ball. I don't want you to get hurt."
The ralts looked at his poke ball then at Jason. He shook his head and pushed his poke ball away from him. "I wanna be a hero," Ralts said, puffing our his small chest.
"You sure," Jason asked as he pulled back ralts's poke ball. Jason didn't understand what his ralts said, but by judging what he was doing, he was going to fight. "I don't want you getting hurt."
"I'm gonna be a hero and show you all what I can really do!" Ralts shouted as he stormed off to where he assumed his opponent was. He had no idea who his foe might or what it could do. All he knew was that wasn't going to give up without a proper fight.
"Uh," Jason said, dumbfounded as he watched his ralts run off deeper into the cave. "I should probably go get hi..." Jason began before seeing his ralts run back just as fast.
"Monster!" Ralts screamed as he hide behind Jason's leg. He didn't realize that his foe would be that scary. He thought it would be a bidoof or a magikarp. He just wasn't ready to fight something that scary. Jason looked at the direction to see what 'monster' his ralts was talking about. Soon he saw a small shape flying towards them. He knew instantly that his target was close, and he was not going to fail.
"This is it Terra! Get ready," Jason said as he pulled out a poke ball. Terra leaped into action, ready for battle. She was itching for a fight, mostly because she was tired of losing or only winning due to outside help. She wanted to beat her opponent by herself, and with Jason, only.
Then from the darkness, the pokemon appeared. Its fang gleamed from the light of the lamp as its ear twitched from side to side, listening for any sounds that could promise it sustenance. Its blue and purple wings allowed it to fly quickly and silently during the hunt, and its twin tails helped it make tight turns for pursing the more elusive prey. It was the pokemon of legends, one to be avoided at all costs. One that faced any challengers without backing down and with a reputation more infamous then Darkrai itself. This pokemon name itself struck fear into the hearts of trainers everywhere. This mighty pokemons name was ...
Zubat.
So yeah, its zubat. If you thought it was something else then I then I'm sorry to disappoint you. I might be able to post another chapter by the end of this week if we're lucky. All we can do is cross our finger and hope.
