Chapter 21: On the Darkest of Nights
"Awww, we've been walking forever!" groaned Davis as he slowed his already slow pace.
"Quite complaining! It's not like it gets any better hearing you complain." sighed Tai.
"Maybe we should quit for the night?" suggested Gabumon looking to his Digidestined partner.
"No! I see something!" shouted Patamon flying up to the sky. The 4 boys and 3 other Digimon waited patiently as their little flying friend decended with a smile on his face.
"I saw a town! It's not very far! We should get there in a hour at the least if we keep going." explained Patamon landing on T.K's head.
"Oh, thank goodness." sighed Veemon happily, "I'm tired of beef jerky and dried fruit. I need candy and cookies and chocolate and cookies and did I mention candy?"
"Amen to that my friend." agreed Davis, "And believe it or not, I think I need a bath."
"Don't worry. We believe it." said Tai.
"Well, it's not going to help us just standing around here." said Agumon and they were off again.

Knock Knock Knock! The sound of loud banging against the Pokemon Center's door awakened Nurse Joy and her Chansey. Knock Knock Knock!
"I'm coming!" yawned the nurse as she pulled out her keys. She lazily fliped through them until she found the one that unlocked the Pokemon Center's front door and let in 4 tired and hungry Pokemon trainers and 4 strange Pokemon.
"Hello and welcome to New Bark Town Pokemon Center." yawned Nurse Joy.

"I don't see what you like about this place, Oddish." said Joe looking down at his cooing Pokemon.
"Eevee likes it here too." said Ken as he watched his fox-like Pokemon frolic.
"Pokemon just feel at home here in the Viridian forest." commented Izzy.
"Why don't you let Magnemite out?" asked Tentomon flying next to Izzy's head.
"I think Magnemite needs a rest." replied Izzy.
"He hasn't fought anything, Izzy." said Cody watching his Spearow circle in the sky, his shadow just a flash in the moonlight. Izzy didn't reply.
"You know, it's getting pretty dark. Maybe we should turn on a light?" suggested Wormmon.
"Are you scared of the dark?" asked Gomamon.
"No, it's just... it's just something might pop out from behind a tree and hurt Ken or someone else." answered Wormmon.
"I knew it. Scared of the dark." teased Gomamon.
"That's enough, Gomamon." said Joe stiffly.
"Here's flashlight." said Izzy as he flipped the switch to the medium setting. It flickered on and they continued walking through the forest. After a few minutes, they began to hear a strange clicking noise.
"Stop teasing Wormmon, Gomamon." ordered Joe.
"I'm not doing anything!" shouted Gomamon throwing up his front paws.
"Vvvvveeeeeennnnnnoooooo!" echoed a strange unearthly sound.
"Stop! You're really scaring me, Gomamon!" cried Wormmon.
"IT'S NOT ME!!!" yelled Gomamon. He turned around and pointed towards Izzy and said, "IT WAS THAT GUY!!!"
"Izzy wouldn't scary anyone." insisted Armadillomon.
"I'm not pointing at Izzy. I'm pointing at the guy who's behind Izzy." explained Gomamon. Izzy froze and slowly began to turn his head to look behind him. He came face to face with two big round blue eyes!
"Oh, my..." wispered Joe in a shaky voice.
Izzy screamed at the top of his lungs and tried to scramble away from the creature.
"Don't worry. I'll protect you, Izzy." said Tentomon, "SUPER SHOCKER!" The strange blue eyed creature was faster and flew up high in the night sky. Against the moonlight, they could see it was some large flying bug Pokemon.
It then flapped it's wings as hard as it could and a strange powdery substance flowed off them and onto Tentomon. Tentomon fell to the ground and stammered out, "I-I-I c-cant m-m-move!"
"Go get it, Armadillomon!" said Cody but Armadillomon countered by saying, "It's too dang high!"
"Then how about you, Spearow?" asked Cody but his small bird Pokemon didn't move.
"What about you two?" asked Joe but Gomamon and Oddish shook their heads.
Ken didn't even have to ask Eevee or Wormmon. Wormmon was shaking in fear in his arms and Eevee was trying to hide behind his legs while whimpering out it's name.
The giant Pokemon cried out a mighty "Venomoth!' and began to swoop at Izzy.
"What does this thing want!?" exclaimed Izzy pulling out his Pokedex which replied, "Venomoth, the Poison Moth Pokemon. The dust-like scales on it's wings are color coded to show the different types of poisons it carries. It is drawn towards bright lights."
"It's the flashlight!" yelled Ken, "Get rid of it, Izzy!"
"No! Don't! It's too dark!" yelled Wormmon, "We'll get lost without it!"
Venomoth made another dive for Izzy and this time, he had to fall to the ground to get out of it's way! Izzy watched as it rose back to the sky and dived towards him once again but this time, Izzy was ready! He reached down and pulled his Pokeball from his belt and threw it! In a burst of red light, Magnemite appeared, surprising the Venomoth but only for a few seconds.
Magnemite quickly sensed the danger and shot a thundershock at Venomoth but it was easily evaded. Venomoth tackled Magnemite out of the way and went for Izzy again but a small shot of electricity made it back away. Just then, a plan popped into Izzy's head!
While Venomoth went to tackle Magnemite again, Izzy jumped up and ran infront of a big and thick oak tree.
"Come and get me now, Venomoth!" challenged Izzy as he flipped the switch on the flashlight off and on to the medium setting as if teasing the Pokemon. The Venomoth directed it's attention back to Izzy and began to fly towards him and the flashing light. It was only a few feet away from Izzy when he flipped the switch to full power and into Venomoth's eyes. Not expecting the light to shine so bright, it stoped in mid-flight to blink it's eyes and adjust them.
"Get it now, Magnemite!" ordered Izzy and Magnemite obeyed with a large Thunderbolt. Chared and surprised by the electric attack, Venomoth turned around and saw Magnemite racing towards it. Izzy ducked just as Magnemite tackled Venomoth, making it slam hard into the tree. Izzy reached for his Pokeballs and threw one into Venomoth's chest and it was sucked in. Everyone held their breath as the Pokeball rocked violently back and forth, left to right until, finally, it's little red button faded to white.
