Storm

by 28RainbowSnakes

Storm has always had a close bond with his trainer May, ever since she saved his life. But one day, May gets abducted by a mysterious Pokemon no one in Hoenn has ever seen before and Storm is the only one to escape. While waiting for an answer, Storm returns to Route 110 and finds his two playful and childish friends from when he was a wild pokemon. (Reposted due to troll spam).

11. Thorn Realizes the Truth

As the days and nights passed, Thorn became more suspicious on who the Ultra Queen really was and what she was lying to May about. He even wondered if she was lying about Storm being dead. Thorn had some hope that Storm was still out there. He decided that he was going to find out, using his strong senses.

That night, after May, Betty, and Sumo had went to sleep, Thorn stayed up to examine the lax incense. He waited for everyone else to go to sleep, because May would not let the lax incense go. It was the last piece she had of Storm. May was even holding it in her sleep, so Thorn had to carefully remove it and quickly replace it with another incense he found in her bag. Thorn took a close look at the incense. He examined the carving of Storm's name. There were definitely some cracks that were different that Thorn's keen eyes didn't miss. He smelled the lax incense to see if he can find Storm's scent. The incense had a relaxing aroma that sometimes caused Storm's battle opponents to miss their attacks. Thorn really liked the smell, but he wasn't going to let that distract him. He sniffed closely to look for Storm's scent and didn't find it. After doing further investigation, Thorn was able to conclude that the incense was not Storm's and that Storm was probably still alive.

When morning came and everyone woke up, Thorn told Betty and Sumo, "I need to talk to you guys. I believe I have news that will cheer you guys up." Betty and Sumo sat down in front of Thorn, not really expecting much out of the news. "I think Storm is alive," said Thorn.

"Thorn, stop getting your hopes up, it will make you disappointed. We all know that Storm is dead, and we all miss him. The Ultra Queen told us that she killed Storm and even has proof. Where else would she have gotten that lax incense?" questioned Sumo.

"She must have gotten a lax incense and carved Storm's name in it to make it look like it belonged to Storm. Last night, I closely inspected Storm's lax incense with my senses and was able to conclude that this lax incense never belonged to Storm," said Thorn, hoping Betty and Sumo would believe him. Betty and Sumo looked at each other in a way that Thorn could tell that they were still doubting him. "If you don't believe me, that's fine. I know that we will see Storm again, someday," said Thorn.
