Episode 11 – The Flock
"Look, we're apparently in Synty Forest," I pointed out to my friends as we walked deeper into a forest. I knew this because Fennel had apparently gotten me the latest version of the C-Gear that is out right now and it includes a world map. That means region maps of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and more. "It's actually the last leg of the journey before you reach Synty City. Then after that there's a straight route to Nacrene City."
"Interesting…" Max groaned.
"Hey! You bore us all the time with location things so you can't talk!" I snapped. He looked shocked at my proposal before quickly shutting up and returning to normal.
"Nick, do you know what type of Pokemon Lenora uses?" May questioned me.
"Nope, not a clue," I replied. Max, feeling useful at this point, perked up and shared his knowledge.
"I've heard that Lenora is the master of normal-type Pokemon. They only have one weakness, and that's fighting types. You'll need one of them if you want to beat her."
"I already have a fighting type, Riolu, so this should be a walkthrough!" I boasted.
"I'm not so sure Nick. Remember, Riolu has only been in this world about a few weeks so it still won't be as strong as your other Pokemon," May reminded me.
"Oh yeah… Then we're going to have to do some training!" I screamed.
'May's right, are you sure you want me in your gym battle?' Riolu asked.
'Of course, I think that it's finally your time to shine!'
"Riolu, start by using Extreme Speed! Do seven laps around Synty Forest!" I commanded. Riolu was stunned by the harsh training but I just stayed stubborn and eventually he sped off, leaving a massive white trail behind him. Suddenly, in the middle of the forest there was a massive explosion. That was the exact path Riolu had taken… Could it be injured? "We have to see what happened…" We all frantically sprinted over to where the explosion had emitted from and there, I saw my Riolu lying on the ground.
"Brave!" the eagle roared. It must've been the thing that attacked Riolu. I looked into its eyes but suddenly, a feeling of rage turned to a feeling of relief.
"Braviary it's you!" I shrieked and gave my Braviary a giant hug.
"Brave!" It screeched once more and threw me off it. Braviary was angry, and after one more call a whole flock of Pidove and two Tranquill flew to its side. "Brave, Brave Braviary!" All of a sudden all the pigeons started to attack us and we were pelted with hundreds of Air Cutters and Gusts.
"Pidove, set your friends straight!" I called and threw Pidove's pokeball.
"Dove!" Pidove chirped as it entered out into the open air, where it gracefully flew through the air, doing twirls and spins showing off its new powers to its friends. It even showed them Aerial Ace and they all looked on in awe. I guess it always must've been the performer in the flock. Braviary started to yell and screech again but none of his flock listened. Well, everybody but the two stubborn Tranquill.
"Quill!" they both shrieked at once.
"Oshawott, rock and roll!" I shouted and threw Oshawott's pokeball. He entered, and looked around at all of the Pidove. But, he still wanted to fight. "Oshawott, Water Gun the Tranquill and Pidove mobilize them with Gust!" As my aqua and sky tag team did as I instructed, I was staring plainly at my Braviary. Well, he isn't really mine anymore but I like to think that he's mine. All of a sudden I saw the Water Gun hit Tranquill, and they both plummeted to the floor. I was too busy in my thoughts I didn't really pay attention to the attacks.
"Tran!" one of them screeched and used a Quick Attack, which my Pidove easily dodged with its own Quick Attack. Oshawott then quickly retaliated to the other Tranquill's Aerial Ace, which I didn't even notice it was doing, by using an Aqua Jet. Everything was going too fast and I couldn't really tell what was going on. Drops of water, air currents and white trails were everywhere I looked. I was confused out of my mind and I didn't understand how the Pokemon kept up.
"Oshawott use Razor Shell and Pidove use Aerial Ace!" I instructed, trying to take charge.
"Wott!" Oshawott roared as it got out its shell, which soon looked like a sharp blade, and it slashed frantically at the two Tranquill who were just barely staying in the air. They looked in bad condition.
"Pi-dove!" Pidove chirped as it dashed forwards, air currents following it, and slammed into both of the Tranquill and they immediately gave in and collapsed onto the floor.
"Brave?" Braviary shrieked as it saw its two servants lying on the ground.
"Braviary, all I want from you is to tell me why you left me," I told it.
"Ary…" he sighed. He looked like he couldn't be bothered telling the story but he did anyway. "Brave, Brave ary, ary. Braviary."
'It means something along the lines of this: "Nick, I left you because I always wanted to be a leader. A general if you will. Following this Pidove flock gave me the chance to rule over them, be their king. That's all I ever wanted, Nick. I would've come with you if I hadn't had that dream." That's what I heard,' Riolu told me.
"Is that true Braviary?" I asked. The eagle nodded. "Then I guess I should officially release you." I pulled out Braviary's pokeball and grasped it in my hand. "If you will." Braviary then knocked it out of my hands with its long feathery wings and then stomped on it hard, crushing it to pieces. All of a sudden there was a blue light around it for a while before pretty much poofing away. I guess that's what a release looks like. "I have one last favor. Could you by any chance help me and my Pokemon train?"
"Brave!" Braviary screeched and signaled the Pidove to clear. It nodded, meaning it was ready to battle me, and soon the battle between Braviary and Pidove was underway.
That night, after much intense training, Oshawott insisted on staying out, although I don't know why. I dozed off quickly, entering a deep slumber.
I entered a dream, and I looked around. Everything was fuzzy and it seemed like I was sealed in something. I could roll though and I was living so I figured I must be an egg.
"Hey look! An egg to steal!" a man with a very deep voice screamed. That confirmed it, I was an egg. Wait, steal!
"Good spotting Poncho!" another man said, this time with a higher voice. They picked me up and threw me in the back of their truck, along with lots of other eggs.
Minutes later we arrived at some sort of old abandoned house and they then chucked us into a room, where a massive Samurott was guarding us. Suddenly, I felt a warm fuzzy glow inside of me and I felt myself changing, like maybe changing form. Everything was white for a few seconds but when I could see again I realized I could move by myself. I looked down at my arms and legs and then saw a shell on my stomach. I'm an Oshawott!
"Oshawott!" I shrieked. Wait, I was trying to talk but I could only say my name like most Pokemon. Annoying, I guess I can only talk in my mind. I heard a growl from behind and there, right there was a massive Samurott growling at me. "Wott!"
"Sam-u-rott!" he roared and started to charge at me. His horn glowed a light red and it shone so bright it nearly made me go blind. I luckily just dodged the attack in time and I felt myself running out of the room, out of the house and then out into a city. Wait, I recognize this city. It's Striaton. I see the Garden Metropolis up ahead and I quickly dive into one of the small rivers there. At the time, there were no walls surrounding it.
"Where did that rascal go?" Poncho asked. I popped my head out of the water but luckily they didn't see me. I heard sirens and then Officer Jenny appeared from the car.
"Freeze scum bags! I recognize your faces from the wanted posters. You're getting thrown in prison!" she told them. Suddenly, everything was black and I awoke to Oshawott. My heart was pounding, and I assumed its was too.
"Was that you Oshawott?" I questioned. Oshawott looked sad and nodded. "That really happened to you." Oshawott nodded again. "Wow, I guess that you had a rough life as soon as you hatched. I have bad dreams about my past sometimes too, but we'll get through it.
"Oshawott! Osha-wott!" Oshawott screamed at me.
'He's saying that he hates Samurott.'
"AHH!" I shouted. I turned to see Riolu lying awake too. "Wait, Oshawott, do you hate Samurott?"
"Osha!" he replied and nodded.
"Wait, then if you hate Samurott that would mean… You don't want to evolve…" he nodded sadly and rolled back over. He pouted for a while before I finally heard him go back to sleep. "Ohh Oshawott... What will we do with you?"
Morning came and all of us awoke. Some of us had good sleeps and others bad. Max and May luckily didn't awake from all the racket that was made last night.
"Guys, I've packed everything up, I think that's it's time we left," max told us. I nodded and saw that Braviary's Flock was happily flying around with him.
"Braviary! We're going to leave now!" I called out to him. He landed and gave be a big hug, which I returned. "Bye Braviary, I wish you lucky on your journey."
"Brave!" he agreed. He looked at his flock who were now pecking at the ground and signaled them to fly.
"I guess it's time that you headed north again huh?" I questioned him. Braviary nodded. "Well, I wish you luck on your flight and if we ever meet again Pidove and I will have another rematch!"
"Ary!"
"Ok, Braviary, bye now. It's time you get going." Braviary flew back up to his flock and then joined the 'V' formation. Of course, it lead. Braviary looked back down on me and I waved at it. I saw him smile, before continuing on the flight. As they disappeared over the horizon I felt sadness, yet pride for he was once my Pokemon.
