-1Yes guys, this is another action chapter. I can't believe what just went down. I got TEN reviews in two days! And that isn't even counting all these other people who never review! I think this story is actually doing well! I still need three reviews to continue, though.
Mike returned all of his pokemon and ran towards the Eterna gym. He didn't appear suspicious because, well, everyone was running. Reaching the gym, he looked it up and down.
"Now how am I gonna get in there without being seen?" He asked himself. Then, he got an idea.
"Monferno, get me on that roof." He said, letting his starter out. Monferno scooped him up, and jumped all the way to the top of the gym. Fortunately, there was an elevator up there. Mike walked up to it and pushed the down button. He stood there, waiting. Suddenly, a jet of red hot flames flew at Mike out of no where. Monferno jumped in the way, destroying the flames with its fist.
"What was that?" Mike asked nervously.
"That was me, you twit!" Mike looked all around to see where it was the voice had come from, but he didn't hear anything. The elevator arrived behind him. Mike grabbed Monferno and jumped onto it. As Mike and his pokemon were going down, he spoke to his pokemon.
"Okay, I know these gym leaders keep all of the badges in a safe. We have to find that safe. We probably have beaten Elizabeth here, so we have to take advantage and get the goods, and then leave. Understand?" Monferno nodded. The elevator stopped, and Mike jumped out, only to see the senior thief standing right there! She hurried and pounded the button on the elevator before Monferno made it out, and it closed on the fire type, and took it to god-knows-where. Mike looked at the elevator, then back at the woman in front of him.
"What the hell woman?!" She looked at him.
"One of the most important skills you'll need to know is how to separate the opposition from their pokemon." She said. Mike swung his fist at her. She knocked it away, cart wheeled backwards, and pulled out a pokeball.
"Let's go Walrein!" She yelled as she threw the pokeball. A giant seal pokemon erupted from the pokeball. Mike stared at it.
"Ah shit!" He swore loudly. Elizabeth smirked.
"Use aura beam." Walrein fired a multicolored beam at Mike. He jumped out of the way, and the attack hit the elevator door, knocking it inwards. Mike turned around, kicked the now loose door down and jumped into the elevator shafts. He grabbed onto the central cable, and began to slide downwards. Suddenly, his phone began to ring. Mike looked at the phone. The word 'Mom' was in bright blue letters on the display. Mike rolled his eyes.
"Boom!" An ice beam erupted through the wall, snapping the cable Mike was holding onto. He dropped his phone, but was too busy falling to notice. He began to focus. Now was a time he needed to transform the most.
"Come on, dragon wings, fire breath, something!" Mike was desperately trying to figure out how to transform. Unfortunately, it didn't happen. He continued to fall.
"Come god please help!" Mike screamed. Fortunately, an elevator was coming up, and Mike hit it with a loud thud. Pulling himself up, he saw he had a giant purple and black bruise on his jaw. He ignored it.
"Hey, if the cable got snapped, what's holding up the elevator?" Mike asked suddenly. The area filled with a maniacal laughing. Mike looked around nervously.
"Pop!" The voice said suddenly, and the elevator began to plummet towards the ground again. Mike looked around desperately. Then, he got an idea. He released Buizel.
"Okay, use aqua jet on the next door we see, okay?" Mike asked his pokemon. It nodded. The two didn't have to wait long, as the elevator was falling really fast. Buizel saw another door, and flew at it while being surrounded by the water. Mike grabbed on, and the two erupted from the shafts. Mike looked around. He was in a room that looked like it was made entirely of steel. The floor, walls, and ceiling was a shiny silver color. Buizel tugged on his shirt. Mike looked at it, and then to where it was pointing, and gasped. The safe was just sitting in the middle of the room! Mike walked up to it.
"Use sonic boom on this." He said. Buizel obeyed, swinging its tail at it and creating a crescent shaped air blade, which destroyed the safe's lock. Mike opened the door, and was greeted by tons of green triangle-shaped things.
"Good job Buizel! Now all we have to do is get out of here alive!" Mike said.
"I don't think so, rookie." Mike spun around and saw the senior thief herself leaning against the wall.
"I admit you did a good job. Unfortunately, you lost." Mike turned to face her. She threw out another pokeball. A Sneasel came out of it. Buizel took up a defensive stance.
"Okay Sneasel, use feint attack!" Elizabeth ordered. Sneasel ran at Buizel, but disappeared right before reaching him. Buizel looked around hopelessly.
"Don't fall for it! Sonic boom behind you!" Mike called. Buizel spun around, and that happened to be the second Sneasel reappeared. Buizel used its tail to make those familiar crescent air blades, hitting Sneasel in the face.
"Ha! Use ice beam!" Elizabeth ordered.
"Hydro pump!" Mike countered. The blue beam and the jet of water collided, and it suddenly became extremely dense in the room.
"What're you doing?!" Both Elizabeth and Mike spun around to see Gardenia standing there, with her hands on her hips. Se took one look at the broken safe, with all of her badges spilled out, and pulled out two pokeballs of her own, and threw them.
"Come on out Cacturne and Roserade!" Two grass type pokemon came out of the pokeballs.
"Cacturne pin missile Roserade psychic!" She barked quickly. Cacturne fired a multitude of glowing purple darts at the two Sneasel and Buizel, and Roserade used psychic on them, making them expand and form together, eventually forming a fierce looking dragon. Mike and Elizabeth both took a step back. Sneasel and Buizel never stood a chance. Both pokemon were on the floor unconscious before Mike could even say 'Damn it!'. Mike looked at Gardenia, and pulled Eevee's pokeball out, throwing it to release his shiny pokemon. Eevee came out, ready to make its debut.
"Use shadow ball Eevee!" Mike ordered. Eevee obeyed, firing a black blob at Roserade, but Cacturne jumped in the way, and the attack hit, but didn't appear to do any damage at all.
"Walrein, use slam!" Elizabeth called, releasing her pokemon. It charged Cacturne, slaming its huge body into it. The grass type fell to the floor, struggling while under Walrein's huge form.
"Now use shadow ball Eevee!" Mike ordered. Eevee obeyed, or at least it looked like it did. Instead of firing a blob, it fired a black beam! It flew at Roserade, hitting it square in the chest. Elizabeth pointed what looked like a gun at the ceiling and fired. A red flare shot up, and it hit the ceiling, causing a great deal of it to collapse. She returned Walrein and jumped up there. Mike spun around, scooped up a badge for himself, and jumped up after her. He could hear Gardenia's cries for them to come back, but he didn't care. He ran as fast as he could. He passed by a Monferno while he ran. He stopped, and ran back to the Monferno.
"So, how were things after your little ride?" He asked. Monferno just stared at him. Mike returned his starter, then went back to running. Elizabeth pointed her gun at a wall, and fired, creating a massive hole. Mike jumped after her. Both touched down on the ground. They were on the back of the gym. Mike slid down the wall.
"Looks like we made it. Is the game over?" He asked the senior thief. She looked at him, and said in a deep, manly, ghostly voice that didn't match her body at all:
"Oh no, the games have just begun… Zero." And with that, she jumped into the air, and flew off towards the moon, a red trail following her path. Mike stared after her.
"The hell?" He said, staring after the woman.
"Mike!" Mike turned around, and saw Elizabeth running towards him.
"Good job out there. You did a good job, especially against Gardenia." She said. Mike just gaped at her.
"If you're here, then who was that?" Mike asked. The senior thief gave him an odd look. Due to the fact that it was the middle of the day, nobody could see the moon flash a bright red for a split second.
Aw cool! I wonder what will happen next! And what's with all those strange things that keep happening to Mike? Don't know, but it sure is weird… Oh, yeah, never mind! I do know!
