Okay everybody. I am now going to write the eleventh chapter.
P.S. p.s. stands for postscript. Thanks to soaringdragon43 for pointing that out for me.
John slowly got to his feet. His clothes were soaked with mud. He had been traveling for hours. He couldn't find any signs of life except for himself, Cynder, and Jolt (that's what he had developed a habit of calling the wild Elekid. It seemed to like that name).
It was hopeless. He didn't think he would ever see his newly evolved Crocanaw or Hope again.
Marlene surveyed the scene before her. Fire was everywhere. Whatever that pokemon was, it was extremely powerful. It was around for a grand total of five minutes, and it managed to destroy an entire route. She looked into all 150 or so of the giant craters dotted around the scene. She turned around to look at the pokemon behind her. There was her Breloom and Golduck, the newest addition to her team, Skitty, and John's Buneary, Hope. She shivered at the thought of what happened to him.
Danny was stuck. He wasn't looking where he was going and fell down one of those giant craters. In the hole with him, was his Machop, a Budew he had rescued, and John's shiny Crocanaw, Teal. He had no idea where Shinx was. He hoped it was okay.
Commander x was out of there. He had shifted his focus from that boy's shiny pokemon to the legendary pokemon Mespirit. It made him angry at how many men he had lost to that thing's awesome power. He shook his head. He still had a captured Shinx. The kids would certainly come searching for him. He could grab the shiny then. Right now, he had to find out where Mespirit was headed next.
Officer Jenny of Oreburgh city was on the route that led to the city. She new that if something so monstrous could happen this close to the city, it could very well go there too. It was her job to make sure that didn't happen. She released her Growlithe to see if it could track anything. What she discovered was the last thing she would ever see again.
John climbed a large wall. As soon as he got up there, he saw a breathtaking sight. He had a beautiful view of the route. The only problem was, it was in ruins. He looked around, and was wrapped in a big hug by a scared Marlene.
"Oh I was so scared. I had no idea where you were and I was getting really worried when I turned around and you weren't there." John tried to say something, but was stopped by a stampeding hope, who seemed even happier to see him.
"I want you to meet the newest member of our team, Jolt." John said, referring to the Elekid standing beside him.
"But, where is Teal…" His question was quickly answered by an exhausted Danny climbing the wall. Teal had its jaws wrapped firmly but not painfully around Danny's ankle.
"Hey guys, have you seen Shinx?" He asked.
"YOU BASTARD!" John lunged at Danny, punching him across the face, and knocking him off of the wall. He grabbed onto a piece of vine hanging off of the wall, and made his way back up.
"I seriously have no clue where my Shinx is." Marlene got worried.
"Maybe team Magma got a hold of it."
"It's not team magma. It's team aqua." John said.
"Whatever. If they have it, they probably took it to their headquarters to research it." She said annoyed.
"Yeah. That's where we go next. Any idea where this base is?" Danny asked.
"Yeah. It's in Floaroma Town. We should head there." John replied.
Commander x stood there with the proof of Mespirit's patterns in his hand, he just couldn't believe it. Mespirit was headed exactly for Oreburgh City, and whatever it was that pissed it off, it was mad enough to destroy it. He grinned. Mespirit will be a powerful weapon for team Galaxy.
Okay. Not much action, but I had to have an aftermath chapter after the way the last one ended. John finally has that first gym battle, and he gets a little visit from his buddy Mespirit.
