Chapter 11- The promise I made to a rock
"Hey it's bigger in the inside." I replied in the dark during that whole scramble I smuggled my flashlight in my pocket before that strange woman could see it. Yeah that's what I'll call her Strange woman. As I walked through the tunnel I could only hear the water dripping and a strange echo "Come." was what it sounded like as if it wanted me to come I followed.
"Now what do I suppose is in here? Maybe a rare and valuable pokemon." Like I didn't have one. "Or maybe it's a caterpie it'd be disappointing if it were a caterpie." I kept a conversation with myself to keep from panicking. Soon it got too scary that I sent out my pokemon, all of them.
They looked around the tunnel having not the slightest clue what was going on. I had forgotten they had no idea only Unown was the real one who was clued in but only by a little bit. "I need to go into this chamber would you all like to help?" They all nodded.
"All right let's go down. Unown can you take us there by any chance?" I asked the pokemon showed no change in emotion and floated down the tunnel so I followed.
"Unown where are you going?" I asked to see what the pokemon was doing but it kept on going ignoring any comment I made not to be rude but only because it was that focused on getting to it's destination, like my grandma's GPS.
"Togepi." I said looking for my little pokemon. I heard no response, which gave me a scare. Where was my pokemon? "Brriii." I could hear my pokemon speak quietly as if it were on the other side of the tunnel. "Togepi come back here!" I exclaimed running after my pokemon leaving the guidance of my pokemon guide into the total darkness.
I turned my flashlight in front of me to see my little pokemon. I followed after it as it was happily skipping through the tunnel in a sing-songy voice. I came up and scooped up my little pokemon in my arms.
"Raack!" A voice chuckled and a giant shadow popped out of us. I could see the mouth of the shadow's rise. I screamed in terror and looked away to run. As I did I hit the ground and curled up in a fearful position. The demoniac shadow laughed at me then disappeared. I sat there petrified for a moment and then got up. I looked down at my pokemon, which was just sitting there laughing as if it were a comedy act. I could have died!
I looked at my pokemon and thought back to when the last time it caused me trouble. This pokemon was going to be the end of me!
"Totodile." I heard the raspy voice of my pokemon.
"Where are you guys?" I became very concerned that I would never find my friends again. I used the light to look around to search for them. And only a few feet away were my pokemon staring at me for an explanation.
"How far are we?" I asked and Unown kept on going with no reply. We followed for a moment to see that we were in a chamber. A shining light as bright as the bright sun shown from inside the room it was from a stone.
"Come here." I screamed as a deep voice said from the room. All my pokemon hid behind my leg in respect of the voice as if they knew what it was, all except Unown who did nothing really but stare.
"Who's there?" I asked looking around for an answer for the voice in the dark.
"It is okay Desiree child, I want you to come here and trust me." The voice boomed and it echoed.
"Where are you?" I cried out in the chamber still looking for the source I wasn't quite sure that I could trust the voice.
"Come to the stone." It commanded and we slowly made our way to the rock I thought 'This is ridiculous I'm wary of a stone.' My pokemon followed in my fear. Like trainer like pokemon.
"Desiree do you trust me?" I discovered that the voice was coming from that stone the fiery energy glowed as it talked.
"Y-yes, Who are you?" I asked of course I didn't trust it. Who trusted a rock?
"I am the spring and I am the flame I rule the skies."
"But that doesn't make any sense." I argued with the rock.
"You will know me soon. The walls of the world will fall apart. Chaos will rule and peace will be corrupted. At the end all metaphors will be broken down. Desiree promise me one thing Desiree."
"What?" I could honestly say I'd never given my promise to a stone before.
"Promise me this." The stone stopped for a moment as if it were pausing for a breath. "When the time has come take hand and face the shadows." With that the stone faded to a grey as if it were dead.
Totodile came out from hiding and climbed up on the pedestal to look at the stone. He picked it up and looked at it and climbed down and tugged on my bag. "Do you want to keep that?" Totodile nodded and stuffed it in my pockets.
"All right now how do we get out of here?" I asked knowing that there was a strange woman with a strange Tyranitar waiting with a bunch of thugs. "How about we go here." I looked to find another passage a noticed the giant gate at the opposite end of the chamber. I never realized how big the ruins were. Not many adventures were made here.
"Uh why is this so hard to open?" After Bellsprout's vine whip and Totodile's bite. We couldn't open it. Unown then stepped up to the plate he stared at the door as if he was trying to magically open it all he did was stare at it. Unown looked so focused that it was like he was hurting himself being too focused on it. He started to turn blue and fall to the ground unconscious. How useful was that?
I scooped up the pokemon and set Togepi down who was in my arms the whole time. It skipped down to the gate and tapped on it and with a dramatic thud throughout the door and it opened with ease. I stared at my pokemon in surprise that a small pokemon like that could open such a big door. My pokemon were so unique.
I ran through the tunnel with a flashlight in my hand we rushed to get out of the dark chamber and out of the grasp of those trainers. They must have expected to find a pokemon that they couldn't fight so they dragged me into it.
"Hauntar!" A ghastly figured cried out and we all backed up in startlement. Togepi jumped from our group and greeted the figure. I saw that it was a Haunter. It laughed as Togepi played around with it. He picked Togepi up and started to juggle it around I had to admit Haunter was talented but my heart fluttered with concern. He then picked up Bellsprout who started to cry in fear and Totodile who started to laugh like Togepi.
This must have been the pokemon they were afraid of but I laughed at their piteous fear. Haunter seemed really friendly. "Haunter may we pass without a battle today?" The pokemon nodded and set my pokemon down on the ground.
It disappeared in the darkness and we went on our way we technically had our battle but not really. I called back all my pokemon except Unown and Totodile who stayed with me.
I could see the light of the surface I was almost home free. Halting to a complete stop what about Charlie and Rose! I left them in the ruin. Maybe if I got the police can help rescue them if I went and got them. Yes that was what I was going to do.
We ran into the light I could almost feel the fresh air as I walked through it. Temporarily I was blinded as I entered through it. When I could clearly see I panicked as I saw a giant generator and several thugs staring right at me. The woman was also there with her Tyranitar who was ready for battle!
