Author's Note:
Hey peoples what's going on? As you know, I have created a new character named Conor.
Conor: Hi...you know, this fic is only awesome because of me. *puffs chest out arrogantly*
Austin: Yeah um...whatever ya say Oshy...
Conor: Oshy?
Austin: That's my nickname for you hahaha!
Conor: *Sweat drops* ok...
Ally: Hey guys have you seen Eve and the others?
Austin: No
Conor: No
Me: They're mad about me cutting them out of this part of the story so they left a while ago.
Conor: SnivyPro18 does not own pokemon...I do!
Austin: Right...so anyway let the chapter begin...
Mt. Blaze Peak, Ally's POV:
Upon reaching Mt. Blaze's crater, the Team ran into Moltres, the self-proclaimed "warrior of fire", who began a fierce, fiery (No pun intended.) battle to "get revenge for Mt. Blaze's 'pain".
The battle began with Moltres firing a flamethrower at us in which we immediately dodged and fired a combined attack of shadow ball, thunderbolt, and hydropump, scoring an extremely effective attack on the fire bird, but it didn't seem to tire it one bit. I dug beneath the ground and came up with a loaded iron tail and smacked Moltres across the head. Austin then charged up a shock wave and flung it at Moltres, which I immediately used Iron tail to send the ball of electricity flying at an extremely fast rate, scoring a direct hit upon the mighty bird who shook it off and fired a fire blast straight at me. I tried to dodge but it was too late. I closed my eyes, waiting for the fire to slam into me when suddenly, someone pushed me out of the way and took the attack for me.
When I got up, I found out that it was Austin who had sacrificed himself to protect me from the attack. "Austin!" I yelled as I ran to help my love, but Moltres just got in the way. "Conor, get Austin out of the battle!" I yelled at him before I shot a shadow ball at Moltres who dodged and fired a flamethrower at me. I barely managed to dodge and landed on my back. I was about to give up when a combined attack of shadow ball and fire blast slammed into Moltres, knocking him out of the sky and to the ground unconscious. I got up and turned around to see...Eve, Flare and Drew run up to me.
"Ally are you ok?" Asked my sister worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm fine, but Austin isn't." I replied indicating the badly burned pikachu. "What are you guys doing here?" I asked them.
"Oh, we've been behind you the entire time, we just now caught up with you and saw what happened. I just missed you Ally, I'm sorry." Eve said as she hugged me, I then returned the hug. After a while, I fished in my bag but I couldn't find a reviver seed. Luckily, Eve had a reviver seed that she happened to pick up on the way and I immediately fed it to Austin who immediately woke up.
Austin's POV:
I woke up to see that Eve, Flare, and Drew had shown up. I was about to question this when Ally suddenly rammed into me, tackling me in a huge hug. "You're ok! Thanks for saving me again." She said as she kissed me. She the began to cry. I was a little surprised at this. "I'm sorry I got you hurt Austin!" She said with tears falling from her eyes. "I just can't help but feel like I've become a huge burden for you." She said sobbing.
"Ally, it's ok. You're not a burden, you're my girlfriend." I told her sweetly. "I would proudly give my life to save yours, because I love you." I said as I kissed her. "Now dry those tears." I said with a smile. She then calmed down and got off of me after kissing me passionately. I then got up and introduced the others to Conor.
"I didn't know you two were a couple." Said Conor.
"Well you do now." Ally and I replied. Suddenly, Moltres got up.
"Alright, listen, Moltres. We weren't hurting the volcano!" I told the bird.
"We're here because we were chased here! This place isn't the only one that's suffering, Moltres…"Ally added.
Eve finished. "Other places are being tortured by natural calamities… We can't really help others out right now, but we want to be able to!"
"…Can I hold you to that?" Moltres said, folding its wings behind its body after getting back up to a standing position. I nodded. "I'm the leader, so what I say is true!"
"…GYAAAAAAH!" shrieked Moltres, spreading its wings again. I put my arm in front of Ally protectively. "…Fine. I trust that you aren't lying." We just stood there and sweat dropped.
"That was frightening…" Eve muttered. "My knees turned to jelly.
"You may pass." Moltres said. "Get through Mt. Blaze. And… Promise me this: that you will find the cause of the calamities that wrack this world… And try to stop them."
"You got it Moltres!" I replied. "Although we can't right now…" mumbled Ally.
"WE'LL DO IT! DON'T HURT US!" We all exclaimed.
"…I believe you. Do not forget the courage… The courage it takes to face me."
With that, Moltres shrieked again. "Uh… Anything else?" I asked nervously.
"…No. I was preparing to take off again." We just sweat dropped. Does he have to do that…? I though.
"Farewell!" Moltres flew away with a few powerful flaps.
"Man, that was scary…" Ally groaned, wiping sweat from her face. We then headed down the mountain.
After traveling for a while, we came upon a forest blanketed in a thick layer of snow. "Wow, it looks so pretty!" Said Ally. I just pat her head. We decided to take a small break. Ally and I went over to a tree at the edge of the forest to lie down. Flare and Drew just snuggled up to each other on the spot and went to sleep while Conor and Eve stood watch in case any of the teams decided to venture this far. Suddenly, a bunch of snow that had been in the tree fell down and covered us in snow. We just dug ourselves out and lied down on a different side of the tree.
Ally then began to shiver so I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close. She snuggled into my chest and looked up at me. "Thank you." She said,kissing me. We then let ourselves fall asleep.
After a while, Conor and Eve woke us up and we proceeded to enter the frigid dungeon. Immediately upon entering the dungeon, we were ambushed. "Great, just what we need, a monster house." I said sarcastically and we went into battle. As it turns out, having six of us on the team actually made it a lot easier for us in battles. Ally and I fired our combined attacks at a couple of snover knocking them out.
Flare and Drew seemed to have the same idea seeing as they combined flamethrower attacks and knocked out 3 vanillice at once. Conor and Eve on the other hand decided to collaborate, Conor distracting some glaceon while Eve snuck up on them using dig and swiftly took them out with iron tail. Funny, Eve seems to know the exact same moves as Ally. I guess that makes sense since they're twins. After a few more minutes, we managed to subdue the remaining ice types and we continued down a narrow path.
I then remembered the fire stone that was still in the bag, and remembering that we had two fire types on the team, I decided to ask Flare if she wanted to use it to evolve. She agreed and touched it, but it had the same result as when Ally attempted to evolve, nothing. Though strangely when Drew touched the peculiar stone, he began to evolve. (A/N: I know that's not how a cyndaquil evolves but it's part of the story). A few seconds later, there was a flash, and Drew looked completely different. His body was longer, seemingly more ferret like. His arms were longer and he was able to stand on his hind legs. I also noticed that the flame on his back had stretched so that it ran up the entirety of his back, as well as a patch on his head. Strangely, he was now able to put out his back flames without being doused with water, though he kept it lit to keep Flare warm. We then continued down the path and up the stairs after we finished looking over our newly evolved friend.
Floor 2:
When we arrived on the second floor, oddly, there weren't very many pokemon that seemed to occupy the part of the area. We just continued going about the various rooms of the floor and eventually found the stairs.
Floor 6:
We had been on this floor for a while. We had found the stairs but we stepped onto a warp trap and we were sent somewhere unknown on the floor. We were about to give up when I came upon a pure seed, which I ate, and it sent me, no surprise, a few feet back to where the stairs lie, half buried in the snow. We just looked at each other and shrugged. We then continued on up the stairs.
After exiting the forest, we came upon yet another dungeon. I checked the map and it turns out that it was named Frosty Grotto, otherwise known as the domain of Arcticuno. We then proceeded to enter the new dungeon.
Third person POV:
A few feet away, a pokemon could be seen. "I fear that Arcticuno won't be merciful towards these innocent trespassers. I must hurry." Said the stranger before he ran straight into the dungeon.
To be continued...
