Chapter Eleven: Battle Time! One Step Closer!
Haruka and Tsukasa had reached a little landmark. It wasn't all that little, however. It's pretty hard for a cave to be little. Yes, they had reached Route 31. And now they were faced with the large cave that stood before them.
"Should we go in?" Tsukasa asked, staring up at mouth of the cave. Kouda was on his head once more, and had to keep crawling back up due to the fact that Tsukasa's head was angled different than what it had been previously. Raft stood next to Feuille, paws crossed and starring at the cave with disintrest. Byrn was in Haruka's arms once more, mainly because Haruka provided easy transport and he didn't have to constantly run up to them due to his very short legs. Jet was on the other side of Feuille, a large grin sporting on his face as usual. Haruka shrugged, causing Byrn to whine a bit.
"I dunno. It'll probably be dark in there. We might run into something, and not be able to run away. And I've heard that Ursarang live in that cave." Haruka replied, frowning as she mentioned the Ursarang.
"You bet your cute little butt that there are Ursarang in that cave!" A voice from behind said cheerfully. Haruka looked over her shoulder and saw a male with purple hair standing about ten feet away. His hand was on a backpack strap that was pink. He was wearing a weird costume. It was all green and covered in spikes. Tsukasa also took a look back, and sweat dropped.
"Uh...Who're you?" Haruka asked. The kid smirked and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Name's Night. I'm the son of Harley Furrow." He declaired proudly.
"Sorry. Dunno who that is." Haruka replied. Night did a face fault. After he got up, he pointed at the two Trainers.
"I challange you to a battle!" Night declaired angrily. Haruka shrugged.
"Fine with me." Haruka replied.
"No. He's mine." Tsukasa wanted to battle by himself. Haruka had more experience than him, and he wanted to change that. Night smirked, before pulling out a Pokeball from his belt and throwing it into the air. It exploded and took the shape of an Spinarak.
"Meet Yarn! He's the Pokemon that my dad, the most famous coordinator in the world, gave me!" Night declaired.
"If he's the most famous coordinator in the world, how come I haven't heard about him?" Haruka pointed out. Night glared at her. Tsukasa quickly chose a Pokemon, which wasn't hard since he only had two. He chose Jet.
"Jet, go kick that loser's butt." Jet nodded eagerly, and ran out from next to Feuille.
"Yeah, let's go!" Yarn crawled over to the area, and then, out of the blue, struck Jet with a Poison Sting. Jet grunted and flew back about a foot, before raising his paw and striking the spider with a nice little Scratch. Tarn cried out, releasing a String Shot reflexivily. Jet struggled in the sticky substance while Yarn recovered from being Scratched in the face. Jet broke out of the webbing just as Yarn recovered from being Scratched, and the two Charged at each other. As Yarn prepared another Poison Sting, Jet jumped into the air and took a big gulp of air before expelling the large stream of water from his mouth. The Water Gun missed, however, and Yarn stopped in his tracks for a midsecond before charging again at the now falling Jet.
Just as Jet landed on the ground, Yarn struck him in the stomach with a Poison Sting. Jet flew backwards from the force of the impact and the shock of being struck. He didn't land right, and was on his back as the Spinarak attempted to use a death-from-above style Poison Sting. Jet barely rolled out of the way in time, and the Spinarak wound up hitting his head and getting his horn stuck in the ground. Yarn struggled for a few minutes, feet not able to touch the gground, before he used String Shot to grab a tree branch and pull him out of the dirt. Yarn shock his head in an attempt to get the dirt off, and was struck by a Water Gun. The Water Gun slammed him into the tree trunk. Jet, unable to get up to the branch, had to use his long distance attacks to be able to get a hit in. The Spinarak quickly shook off the attack and stayed in the tree. Jet threw a few more Water Guns, most of them missing.
Yarn's only long distance attack was String Shot, however, so the spider had to jump down from the tree, aiming its Poison Sting at Jet's head. Jet knew what Yarn intended to do, and jumped back not a moment too soon. His foot was scratched by the spider's horn, however, and he was poisoned. Jet tried to wash out the poison, but that just pushed some of it into his blood stream. Jet directed his Water Gun at the Spinarak, who attempted to dodge but failed and was slammed into the tree trunk once more. Yarn slid down the tree trunk and tried to get up, but collapsed. Tsukasa smirked and crossed his arms, while Night looked horrifired that he had lost as well as angry. Haruka looked through her bag, searching for an Antidote and a Potion.
Night returned his Spinarak, while Haruka handed the needed supplies to Tsukasa. Night regretfully handed over some money, and then stormed off. But not before he gave them a bit of information about the cave.
"I heard that there are ghosts in there, plus the Ursarang. I really don't think you should go into that cave." Haruka grinned at the mention of ghosts.
"Really? I love ghost Pokemon! They're so fun to use on Holloween!" Haruka said excitedly, wanting to go into the cave to catch herself a ghost. Night frowned.
"You idiot! You could get spirited away like they say in the legend!" Night shouted angrily, before turning around and stomping off in anger. Haruka blinked.
"Spirited away? Legend? I wonder if there really is a legend surrounding this area." Tsukasa shrugged, and returned Jet to his Pokeball. Jet needed a rest. He had been in a few battles, and the poison made him tired. Raft looked at the cave in interest. If there were ghosts, and they cud be spirited away, then why wasn't the area closed off? Raft frowned, before walking into the mouth of the cave. Haruka saw Raft go in, and so the Trainer followed the crocodile Pokemon into the cave. Tsukasa, Feuille, and Byrn followed. Kouda was still on Tsukasa's head.
The cave was dark inside, the only light coming from a few cracks in the roof of the cave as well as the mouth of the cave. Puddles were around the cracks in the cave, and the air was cooler. As the two Trainers followed the now interested Raft further into the cave, Feuille looked around nervously. Caves were dark. No sunlight could reach her. Feuille started to panic, away from the warm rays of the sun, her comfort. Even the Pokeball Realm was more friendly than this place, being surrounded by other Pokemon on the grounds around the Chatue that fed and housed the captured Pokemon. Even the artifical sun of the Pokeball Realm gave comfort, but hereis was dark. Feuille felt weak, and rushed past Haruka, wanting to find Raft and get out of this place. As the leaf Pokemon ran, she slipped on the wet ground and slid into a hole that sent her to a floor below.
The group came to a halt as the grass Pokemon disapeared into the hole. Haruka looked at the hole to the direction that Raft went, and then back to the hole. Tsukasa noticed Haruka's problem, and offered to go after Feuille while Haruka went after Raft. Haruka gave Tsukasa Feuille's Pokeball, and ran after Raft as Tsukasa went down the hole. The hole was actually more like a slide that went down very sharply and was rimmed with the water droplets, which made the 'fall' go even faster. Tsukasa fell out of the slide-like hole, and landed very roughly on his butt. Tsukasa groaned and rubbed his butt, before checking to see if Kouda was okay. Kouda was fine, thankfully, so Jet would be able to rest longer.
Feuille was a few yards off, panicing. She was yelling worriedly, not knwoing that Tsukasa was there. Kouda had crawled off Tsukasa's head, and the Trainer and Pokemon approached Feuille. Feuille turnd around and saw them, but must of mistaken them for an enemy, and ran off down a tunnel. Tsukasa cursed, and ran after the Chikorita. They came to another open cavern, and spotted the green Pokemon cowering at the sight of another Pokemon. Tsukasa pulled out his Pokedex and flipped it open.
"Gastly, the Gas Pokemon. A being that exists as a thin gas. It can topple a Donphan by enveloping the prey in two seconds." - The Pokedex spoke in a male voice. The Gastly turned around, hearing the Dex. Tsukasa took a step back, before thinking quickly. Would a Spinarak do good against a ghost? Only one way to find out...
"Kouda, use Poison Sting!" The Spinarak launched itself at the ghost Pokemon, which was an odd blue color instead of the purple one that was shown in the Pokedex. The attack actually hit the ghost Pokemon, but it didn't look like it did much damage. Feuille, now recognizing who the Trainer and Pokemon were, stood up and raised her leaf. She flung her Razor Leaves at the ghost, and it cried out. Tsukasa quickly pulled out a Pokeball and threw it at the Pokemon, which was still distracted in pain. It was envelopted in a red light, before it was sucked into the ball. The ball fell to the ground and shook a few times before it gave a ding and was silent. Tsukasa grinned and picked up the ball."Hell yeah! I just caught a Gastly!" Tsukasa laughed happily at his second capture, before petting Kouda on the head, making sure he didn''t hit the Spinarak's horn. Kouda smiled, and Feuille felt a bit happy that she had helped mae the captured possible.
"You did good as well, Feuille. But don't run off like that, okay? Haruka nearly fainted when you fell down that hole." Feuille nodded sadly, and Tsukasa pulled out Feuille's Pokeball."Would you rather be in the Pokeball? You seemed a bit freaked about the cave." Feuille nodded, and Tsukasa pressed the button on the middle of the ball. Feuille was sucked in the the ball, and returned to the Realm of the Pokeball. Tsukasa looked around the cavern where they were, unsure of how to get out."We might as well start looking for an exit." Kouda nodded, and crawled up to Tsukasa's head. The two set off to find an exit.
Meanwhile, Haruka had found Raft. She had also found a cave full of bat Pokemon. Haruka cautiously walked through the area, trying to reach the crocodile Pokemon without waking up any of the bat Pokemon. Haruka stepped over a few rocks, while Byrn tried to avoid all the puddles. Fire Pokemon and water don't mix, after all. But with all their caution, they didn't notice where the other was going, and Haruka wound up tripping over Byrn. She fell onto the hard rock floor, grunting. But this thankfully didn't wake up the bat Pokemon. What did wake them up was Haruka's Pokedex falling out of the pocket in her Mom's Ranger jacket, sliding over the floor and opening up as it hit a rock that made it fly up a few inches. The Pokedex began to speak, much to Haruka, Byrn, and Raft's horror.
"Zubat, the Bat Pokemon. It has no eyes. Instead, it relies on its ultrasonic cries for echo location to flit about in the darkness. Golbat, the Bat Pokemon. It loves to drink the blood of living things. Once it bites, it will not stop draining energy from the victim even if it gets too heavy to fly. Crobat, the Bat Pokemon. The development of wings on its legs enables it to fly fast but also tough to stop and rest. It flies so silently throught the dark on its four wings that it may not be noticed even when nearby." - The black Pokedex spoke ominously as the bat Pokemon woke up, as if it was telling them exactly how these creatures might kill them and there was nothing that they could do about it. Haruka cursed, and picked up Byrn. She grabbed Raft's Pokeball and recalled the crocodile, ensuring its safety. She then got up and started to run towards the nearest exit.
But of course, the bat Pokemon followed, angry that they had been awakened from their slumber. A few of the bat Pokemon struck Haruka, and Haruka fell to the ground from tripping over a rock. A lone Pokeball slipped from her belt, and sucked up a Zubat by accident, as Haruka wished for the moment to be over. The bats flew over, a few of them hitting the Trainer, and out of the cave. Byrn crawled out from under Haruka, annoyed that he had been squashed by her 140 pound body, but also grateful because said body gave the Cyndaquil a shield. Byrn noticed the Pokeball and picked it up, while Haruka remembered that she had abandoned her Pokedex and got up to go fetch it. She picked the troublesome device up, and slid it into her pocket after she had closed it. She walked back over and picked up her backpack, and started to pick up Byrn when she saw the Pokeball in his paws.
"Where did that come from?" She wondered aloud, as Byrn handed her the red and white orb. Haruka pressed the button in the middle of the ball, and the red light formed the shape of a bat. Haruka blinked, wondering how the hell that actually happened, as the Zubat fluttered about. The Zubat seemed a bit annoyed at being captured, but flew over to Byrn's head and landed on the mouse. Haruka rumaged through her bag once more, still a bit shocked, and pulled out a green translator that she put on the blue and purple bat Pokemon. Byrn and Haruka walked back the way they came, the Zubat resting on Byrn's head.
As they exited the cave, they spotted Tsukasa coming out of a hole that had a latter in it. Tsukasa, grinning widely, walked over to Haruka. Tsukasa spotted the bat resting on Byrn's head and felt a bit of annoyance.
"Hey, Haruka. Guess what I caught?" Tsukasa asked, in a way that sounded like he was bragging.
"Bubonic plague?" Haruka asked, jokingly. Tsukasa frowned, obviously not amused.
"No. I caught a Gastly." Haruka's jaw dropped, and Tsukasa smirked at her reaction."And its blue instead of purple." Haruka's jaw dropped even more.
"There's no way you could've. Let me see." Haruka replied, disbelief apparant. Tsukasa proudly let out his Gastly. It was in fact blue instead of purple."No way! There's no way in hell you could've caught a shiny!" Haruka said, as she stared at the Gastly. Tsukasa pulled out a purple translator, and tried to stick it on the ghost Pokemon, but he fell right through it. Tsukasa and Haruka sweatdropped."Well, I caught a Zubat."
"By accident." Byrn added. Haruka face palmed.
"You weren't supose to tell him that!"
"Meh." Byrn replied. The Zubat cleared its throat, and all eyes turned to it.
"Will you stop reffering to me as my species name? My name is Venin, thank you very much." The Zubat now known as Venin stated in an annoyed mannor. Gastly floated right through the translator that was in Tsukasa's hands, and it attached to the ghost Pokemon.
"Agreed. My name is Blinde." The ghost Pokemon spoke ina feminine voice. Haruka and Tsukasa grinned. Tsukasa gave Haruka Feuille's Pokeball, and then released Jet. Haruka released Raft and Feuille, and the three Pokemon appeared.
"Alright! Now that we have two new members to our group of friends, lets go to Violet!" Haruka shouted, raising both her hands into the air. The Pokemon nodded in agreement, and the two teams set off, for whatever awaited them in the future. High above them, two Pokemon floated.
"These are the two Trainers who will face off against her?" One asked. The other nodded.
"Yes. Until we can meet them face to face, we must pray to Arceus for their safety."
Well, this was a bit of a pain to write. I was looking at Serebii for the Dex entries, when I saw how cool Gastly's shiny form looked. So that's why he's a shiny. They won't have anymore shiny Pokemon, so don't worry. Next chapter is a bit of a filler. Leave a review, please
Wait.What
