Chapter 12: Do you believe?

Toshiaki stood by the side of the road, waiting for his friends to catch up. He looked around, and saw a small carriage, coming over the road. He smiled and waved, but there was no movement. When he went to take a closer look, he saw no one driving.

It seemed as though the ponyta had left by themselves. "What are you two doing out here?" He said, stroking one of the ponyta's manes. He looked around for any sign of people, but saw no one, but his friends. He ran over to them, "finally! How long does it take you guys to get your stuff ready?"

"Pretty long!" Akio said, sitting down to rest. Toshiaki shook his head and pointed behind him, "you guys see that carriage? It doesn't have anyone inside!"

"What carriage?" Chiasa questioned. Toshiaki turned around, and indeed the carriage was gone. He stood there, mouth agape, as the other three walked on ahead. "You're just seeing things…Hurry up!" Toshiaki reluctantly followed. I know I saw a carriage…He thought to himself.

He later shrugged it off and started thinking about the usual things. The small group stopped by an old well. "Prepare to be killed, noobs!" A shout came from above. Down dropped a spiky, brown haired boy. With a smirk on his face, he threw a pokeball. A Luxray and it growled at the group. "I am, The Spamzorz!" He threw off the cape that was wrapped around his shoulder.



Akio and Toshiaki fell over laughing, and the girls hit them over the head. "What do you want?" Chiasa said, irritant. He pointed over to Toshiaki, "I'm here for a duel!"

"Um…I don't even know you!"

"Grades K-5, I was little Johnny. And I always said I would beat you and become a Pokemon master!"

"Oh, right, that kid…Ok." Toshiaki sent out his piplup. "Piplup, use pound!" The piplup jumped onto the Luxray's back, and started whapping it. Unfortunately, it seemed to barely be getting hurt. The boy laughed, "Luxray, use Zap Cannon!" A giant electric beam was sent towards Toshiaki and his piplup. Toshiaki pushed his piplup out of the way, but he got zapped instead.

"Aw, did the poor little master get shocked?"

"Leave him alone! Only I can pick on him!" Akio said, sending out his turtwig. "Turtwig, use Magnitude!" Almost immediately the earth began to shake around The Spamzorz. When it stopped, the boy smirked. "Ha! Good Luck with that-" When he looked over, he saw his Luxray knocked out and sprawled on the ground. "Gah! Fine, but I will be back!" And with that, he jumped back into the trees and ran off.

Chiasa ran over to Toshiaki, who was still lying on the ground. "Are you ok?! Can you move?!" He nodded slowly and got to his feet with the help of Akio. "Don't worry about him; he's had a grudge on me since I took his cookie."

"You took his cookie, and now he wants to kill you?" Toshiaki nodded and laughed.

"Can we go now, boss?"



"If you keep bugging me you aren't going to be able to do it at all!"

"Fine, but how will we know when the time is right?"

"When three stars fall from the sky."

"Is that a metaphor?"

"Just keep a watch on them!"
