The Shiny Magnet

Chapter 14

Trapped Passing

"Ok bye Sukob! Be good for me!" I bid as Abby and I bid farewell to our new friends and Sukob. It was a fresh new day and we headed to Lavaridge Town early that morning. After letting my Shedinja stay with its family, we started to traverse to Mt. Chimney.

"Abby, are you going to miss Sukob?" I asked when we pulled away from the city.

"Absol…" she said sadly looking ahead.

"Don't worry! We'll see Sukob again! As long as he's happy we're happy, right?" I said cheering her up as she gave me a warm smile. "Well either way let's make Sukob proud!"

"Sol ab!" she agreed as we approached a mountainous path.

A few hours later…

"Abby, do you think were lost?" I asked her as we came to a dead-end. We cleared the path with ease but got supposedly lost in the rubble. Abby sighed at my impatience and continued to lead the way. I knew that we weren't lost but got bored at looking at sand and rocks for the past few hours. "Hey what's that over there?" I asked pointing at a small white building with a cable attached to the roof. Abby gave me a 'what else' face.

"Oh so that's the Mt. Chimney Cable Car Station. I was expecting something… bigger…" I said as Abby sweatdropped. "Oh well, can't dilly dally! When we get to Lavaridge Town we'll have a big lunch!" Abby cheered at the thought as we approached the lonely white building. I reached for the doorknob while Abby trailed behind. I opened the door to see nobody in sight. 'Hm, that's strange… There's nobody here…' I thought entering the building with Abby.

"Hello? Is anybody here?" I called out as Abby started to explore the building. Abby saw a cable car stationed in front of a closed off opening as I checked off any signs for life. "I guess nobody is here…" Abby stopped sniffing around and immediately ran to my side, barring her fangs. "Huh? What's wrong?" I asked her turning around to see a hooded red clad man with a brown sack with the intention of using it to restrain and capture me.

"Grr, looks like I have to resort to Plan B…" he said dropping the bag and taking a pokeball from his belt.

"Team Magma? Are you the ones responsible for this?" I asked as I fingered a pokeball on my belt. The thug said nothing as he silently sent out a Numel. "If you want a battle then come and get it! Let's go Rukia!" I sent out Rukia, whom I got earlier that morning so she could say goodbye to Sukob. She happily twirled around, eager to let off some energy.

Battle Situation

Meena's Kirlia, Rukia vs. Team Magma Thug's Numel

Battle Begin!

"Numel use Focus Energy!" the thug ordered. Beams of light surrounded Numel as it focused its energy to increase its critical hit ratio.

"Rukia use Double Team!" I ordered as Rukia made illusionary copies of herself circling Numel counterclockwise. Numel started to look for the real Rukia, as she stayed hidden within her illusions.

"Numel use Amnesia!" the thug ordered. Numel stopped looking for Rukia and forgot what it was doing, raising its guard.

"Ok Rukia use Psychic!" I said as Rukia and her copies stopped moving and started to spin around, while the real one focused her mind on Numel. Numel glowed a faint blue and rose into the air. All of the illusions copied Rukia's exact movements as she focused stress on Numel who didn't realize the pain.

"Numel use Scary Face!" the thug quickly said as Numel plastered a mean, scary face that frightened Rukia. She let go of Numel as all of her illusions faded away and positioned herself in front of me.

"Oh it's alright Rukia! Use Hypnosis!" I said giving her comforting words. Rukia nodded her head and looked deeply into Numel's eyes as waves induced Numel to fall into a deep sleep. "Now use Dream Eater!" Rukia stopped looking at Numel as she ripped into Numel's dreams and absorbed the happiness. Numel still slept soundly though, eyelids moving signaling that it was starting to have a nightmare.

"Numel wake up!" the thug cried as Numel snoozed.

"Looks like we won!" I cried as Rukia and Abby cheered. The Team Magma thug growled as he returned his sleeping Numel.

"Don't be so sure…" he said as the door burst open. Even more Team Magma members crowded the room as Abby and Rukia stepped forward to confront the intruders. "Now will you come with us…" All the Team Magma members fingered their pokeballs on their belt, waiting for me to give in. However, I just shook my head.

"Over my dead body! Rukia use Teleport!" I said turning to Rukia who gave me a confused look. "I don't care where you teleport us, just get us out of here!" Rukia nodded as beams of light started to surround us. The Team Magma Grunts started to call out their pokemon as we started to disappear into thin air. The last thing I saw was darkness.

Somewhere…

"Whew! I owe you one Rukia!" I praised as I sat up from my spot on the ground. Rukia teleported us to the Fiery Path right next to the Cable Car Station. How she knew were exactly to teleport us is still a mystery to me. "We should get going before we get ambushed again. Let's head to Fallarbour Town since the cable car station will be closed off for the next few days." Abby and Rukia quickly agreed with my suggestion. I returned Rukia for a well earned rest and started to traverse the humid tunnel. Wild pokemon like Torkoal and Koffing stared at us curiously and thanks to Abby's intuition, we made it out of the tunnel unharmed.

"Y'know Abby, my grandpa lives on the outskirts of Fallarbour Town so we can sleep there." I said taking a deep breath of fresh air.

"Sol!" Abby said agreeing with the idea.

"But right now… are you hungry?" I asked her clutching my stomach. Abby sweatdropped. "Well it wouldn't hurt to let everyone out to have lunch…" I took all of my five pokeballs and released all of my pokemon. Trey and Sheena stretched their cramped muscles while I started to dig around in my knapsack for cooking materials.

"Ok, Trey, Sheena, and Chrnos go look for firewood, Abby look for an old log, and Rukia and Barley help me with lunch." I said as Trey and Sheena did a two-finger salute and followed Chrnos into the bush. Abby wasted no time going the other way to find an old log so I can use it as if it was a table while Barley and Rukia helped taking out the vegetables. Before the time I knew it, Abby was back with the log and we started to cut the carrots and lettuce. I set the diced greens in a small pot as we waited for our scouting troupe to come back.

"Aron ar!" Chrnos called as Trey and Sheena emerged from the underbrush, arms filled with wood while Chrnos lagged back watching the two work.

"Great timing guys!" I praised. Trey and Sheena dumped the sticks in front of the awaiting pot as they shot evil glares at Chrnos. Abby, Barley, Rukia, and I sweatdropped. 'I guess they're mad at Chrnos for being lazy…' I thought as Sheena lunged at Chrnos while Rukia and Abby restrained her. "Well anyway let's start cooking!" Sheena stopped her attempt at attacking Chrnos and looked at the pot where the crisp veggies rested. "Before Sheena eats my lunch…" I said taking the firewood while Trey, Abby, and Chrnos restrained Sheena from devouring my simple lunch. I stacked them up and put a rack above it so it didn't melt the pot. Trey gladly lit the wood ablaze with a weak Ember attack as I filled the pot with water from a canteen I always carried around.

"I'm going to look for rocks and berries to mix with your pokemon food so make sure Sheena doesn't eat my lunch." I explained as Trey and Abby nodded, giving Sheena evil looks. Barley and Rukia sweatdropped as Chrnos hid behind Rukia's legs. "Just don't torture her too badly…" I walked into the bush immediately sighting a Pecha berry tree. 'I wonder what Team Magma wants with me…' I asked myself collecting the small pink fruits and occasionally picking up a few mineral rocks. 'What ever it is, its bad news. I wonder if I should just hide or stand up and fight…' I started to pick some Aspear berries from a fruit-baring tree nearby. 'What am I thinking? I have to fight, unless I'm too chicken to…' I told myself shaking my head.

"Well anyway I think this is enough to last lunch and probably dinner!" I said looking at the amount of berries and rocks in my arms. "Time to head back!" I weaved my way back to the campground, greeted by the sight of Sheena tied up against a tree with Trey and Abby's hysterical laughter in the background. I looked to the side and saw Rukia, Barley, and Chrnos huddled together, pale as snow as if they saw the devil himself.

"…Um…Eh...? Huh...?" was all I said checking on my simple vegetable soup and dropping the berries and rocks to the side.

"Kirlia lia…" Rukia muttered hiding behind me. Barley and Chrnos followed her lead. I sweatdropped.

"So what did they do this time...?" I asked her as Rukia and Chrnos sighed at my denseness. I set out four food bowls as I took out a bag of pokemon food. "Let me take a guess. Abby grabbed Sheena as Trey looked for string in my bag. Trey tied her up against the tree and taunted her with food while Abby's hysterical laughter scared you into hiding. Or did something even worse happen?" Barley shivered at the horrible memory as she and Chrnos reluctantly nodded their heads.

I started to fill the bowls with the pokemon food as I looked away to mix in the berries and rocks. However, when I turned back to the bowls, they were wiped clean. 'Huh? That's weird. All the pokemon food is gone… Sheena must have eaten it all.' I thought shifting my gaze towards Sheena who was still tied up against the tree. 'Wha? Sheena couldn't have done it because she's tied up. So if Sheena didn't do who…?' I asked myself cutting off my thought as I felt a sudden movement near my foot. I looked down and saw a forest green antlike pokemon with a large head, eating the pokemon food right out of the bag.

"Ah!" I shouted as Sheena, Trey, and Abby turned their attention towards me. "What is that?" I took out my unused Pokedex so I could scan it.

"Trapinch, the Ant Pit Pokemon. Trapinch's nest is a sloped, bowl like pit dug in sand. This pokemon patiently waits for prey to tumble down the pit. Its giant jays have enough strength to crush even boulders. Because its head is so big, it has a hard time getting back upright if it tips over onto its back." the red device clarified as I put it way, deep into the folds of my pocket.

"It must be hungry so that's why it's eating our food…" I concluded pulling it away from the bag of pokemon food. I set down in the direction of the desert as it snapped my fingers way. "Owwie…" I mumbled sucking on my bitten fingers as Trey and Abby stepped forward, ready to confront the Trapinch. Rukia and Chrnos backed them up as Barley hopped over to see if I was ok.

"W-wait guys! You don't have to fight! It was my-" I started to explain but was interrupted by a deep growling sound. Trapinch collapsed on the spot, hungrily eying the boiling soup above the bonfire. "Aw! He's hungry!" I cut through the wall of protective pokemon and scooped up Trapinch's tiny body. "Maybe he'll be friendlier if we feed him!" I suggested as Chrnos and Rukia sighed at my helpfulness.

After lunch…

"So how are you feeling now Shugo?" I asked the wild Trapinch. Even though I didn't catch it yet, I felt like naming him anyway.

"Inch trap!" Shugo replied as Sheena, who broke free from the tree in a one-man dash for food, started a conversation with him. Abby and Trey already made friends with Shugo while everyone else was a little reluctant.

"Well we should be one our way. Nice to meet you Shugo." I said putting away the leftover berries and cooking materials. However, Shugo shook his large head.

"Trapinch inch!" Shugo argued as Trey and Abby came to his side.

"Hm? You want to come with me?" I asked bending down to his height as he jumped for joy. "Ok, it's fine with me but is it fine with everyone else?" I turned to Barley, Chrnos, and Rukia who nodded their heads, glad to have a new friend on their team. "Alrighty, it's been decided! Shugo will join us on our journey!" I declared taking out a pokeball while my pokemon cheered alongside Shugo. Shugo gladly jumped into the red and white pokeball as it disappeared into white light.

"Anyways, at this rate we won't be able to make it to Fallarbour Town before sundown…" I said looking at the already setting sun. "And I hear route 113 rains with ash, not a very good camping experience…" Abby looked at me as I recalled everyone but her.

"Sol sol absol?" she asked with concern in her voice. 'That's right. Team Magma is in the area so it'll be risky to camp out…' I thought as Abby and I started traversing the end of route 111.

"Don't worry Abby! I'll check the Pokenav to see if there are any establishments nearby." I said taking my Pokenav from my belt. I flipped the screen open and started to look at a map of the area. "Hm, says here that there's a rest stop near the end of route 111, so we're in luck!" Abby cheered with relief that she didn't have to worry about her friend. "So… where do you suppose the rest stop is?" I asked as she sweatdropped at me denseness.

"Absol!" she said pointing to a lone house near the beaten path. I shrugged.

"I guess that's it…" I declared as I proceeded to knock on the door. Almost instantly, an old woman stood at the door.

"Yes? What brings a young lady like you to my humble home?" she asked looking me over.

"Um, I was wondering if this is a rest stop. If not, can you show me where it is?" I explained as Abby sighed. The old woman chuckled.

"Why yes, this is a rest stop. Please come in and make yourself at home." She said as Abby and I walked in, relieved that we found the rest stop just in time.

And thats chappie 14 peps! And I'm out of here, bye bye!

Nick: Where is she going?

Antwon: She's probably going to annoy Maddie or something...

Maddie: STOP ANNOYING ME AND ANNOY SOMEONE ELSE!

Antwon: See, you own me $20

Nick: Darn...

Neko: Look forward to Chapter 15

Patrick: Don't miss it for the world!

Me: Or else my science teacher is going to treat you like an adult!
