Chapter Twenty-one. Sorry for the long wait with the first week fo school gone I was busy and not so sue to the change, but I'm back and will be updating more often now that I'm use to the school schedule. Today was Labor Day so I had lots of time to update and sorry but the action is only at the end of the chapter, but the next chapter will be filled with it.
Movie… I went to the movie theater to see the movie The Other Guys and all I can say it was so funny. For people who have heard of it and not scene it, I recommend it. It's hilarious and Will Farrell is so funny in the movie.
Xenik's eyes slowly opened up, slapping his lips Xenik ran the back of his hand across his lip and as he pulled it away he whipped the saliva that formed on his lip over night onto the bed sheets. Yawning loudly Xenik slowly rose from the warmth of his sheet and looking around he could see Tyler sleeping on the floor rolled up in blankets like he was a giant Metapod, due to the fact the boy's room didn't have bunks on top of them. Across the room was Alex who had just woken up to and was stretching his arms up in the air.
"No, the pasta doesn't go in the blue bowl it goes in the green bowl... Mister Wiggles only like green bowls and Tuesdays" Tyler muttered lowly in his sleep as Xenik looked up at Alex and gave him a confused look.
"He has a lot dreams of weird, perverted, scary, and the few dreams of him running in place" Alex explained as he sat up in bed and threw his pillow at Tyler to wake up the sleeping beauty, who was foaming slightly at the mouth as the pilled landed on his face. Tyler lazily didn't move but as he snored loudly he begun to suffocate on the pillow and with this he shot upwards gasping for air.
"Pretty sad, getting suffocated by a pillow so easily" Xenik sighed with a grin as Tyler gave him a look and grinned.
"How's Samantha?" Tyler asked grinning.
"What about her?" Xenik asked confused as he was worried that he had one of his moments where he talked in his sleep, but he rarely did it and was hoping tonight wasn't one of his nights.
"You were muttering about her in your sleep" Tyler laughed as Alex joined in on the laughter as the two of them had woken up to Xenik talking in his sleep and when he did this, he kept on repeating the young traveler's name. With this the three boys took their turns taking showers, got ready, and raced off to make sure the girls were doing the same.
The shiny silver elevator doors slid open as the group of travelers entered the lobby only to be baffled at what they saw. The lobby was completely empty as there was no sigh of anyone and as the kids looked around they could see the staff was nowhere to be found, the travelers who once cluttered the lobby sitting area had disappeared, and Nurse Joy was missing behind her counter top. The kids cautiously exited the elevator as Trixikan climbed over the lobby's counter top to look for Nurse joy and Tyler searched through the eating area, it had seemed that everyone who worked or stayed here last night were magically gone all of a sudden.
"They all left" A voice sighed lowly as the group heard foot steps from behind them and all spun around to see Arnold the old man who greeted them when they first arrived. He wore a brown suit, with a blue tie, a grey vest, and a brown hat.
"They just all left over night?" Arnold sighed as he took his a big breathe of air and gave the group of kids a glare as he realized they hadn't left yet.
"We didn't hear anything at all" Arai explained as she was confused to how they wouldn't be able to hear every single person in the building all of a sudden just pack up and leave.
"That's proudly due to the fact I have all the rooms sound proof for personal reasons of the customers, I had my staff go to door to door telling people of the news" Arnold stated as he rubbed his chin and thought hard about how they did get the warning.
"Personal reasons?" Trixikan said in a frightened tone of voice as she looked at her brother in disgust and stuck her tongue out.
"Well it doesn't matter how we weren't warned, but how about tell us why everyone had to leave?" Emma questioned the man as she was getting annoyed and wanted to know what as going on.
"Ok, grab something to eat and I'll explain" Arnold told them as they all nodded and grabbed something to eat from the foot shelf that still stood outside of the food court.
The sun shined bright through the large glass windows of the food court as they all sat at one table listening to Arnold explain what was going on.
"There was a sighting of two dangerous hunters in the area and these men were caught taking on a whole cave worth of Aggron, a few news reporters caught them doing this and were planning to send the film to a local law enforcement office. Of course the hunters after taking the Aggron out in a matter of seconds saw the reporters and started to chase them down, they destroyed the tape but the reporters escaped in their van. The reporters arrived here just a few hours ago and warned us the two hunters were on their way towards here. I did research and found out these men were very dangerous and would kill ether Pokemon or Human, if they got in their way. So natural I had everyone flee the area and head towards the nearest town which is less then a days travel" Arnold explained as Alex just shared a look with the others as he bit into his muffin, they all knew who the dangerous hunters were.
"So, why did you stay?" Victoria questioned the elderly man.
"Well, this is my one of few hotel areas I own and I couldn't just leave it" Arnold explained but the group of trainers gave him a look knowing he was a lair.
"Truth is, I'm the owner but I knew the hunters could easily skip over the hotel if they found out it was empty and got after the fleeing people. If they reached the people before they made it back to the next town who knows what would happen" Arnold explained as he was getting worked up over the idea.
"So, you decided you'd get their attention and bring them towards the hotel so while the chased you down to murder you, the others would escape?" Alex asked grinning as he knew this was an honorable thing to do and could tell Arnold was planning to do this as a small box of fire works sat near the front door, most likely the closest thing to a weapon he had.
"Did anyone else stay?" Samantha asked curiously.
"Yes, a young boy just a bit older then you kids and another boy stopped by this morning. I told them to leave but they wanted to help" Arnold explained as two figures appeared from the shadow of the near by door way and there stood both Bale and Freddy.
"Wow...dramatic entrance" Tyler called out.
"Bale, so I guess we get to have another fun conversation" Alex stated grinning as Bale just ignored his comment.
"Freddy, where's Crystal?" Samantha questioned Freddy as she knew Momo was traveling alone and was confused why Crystal wasn't with him, unless she decided to travel alone too.
"Right here" Crystal chearped as she popped in from the main entrance.
"Oh yes, the beautiful girl who arrived this morning also" Arnold chuckled as he forgot her, but his eyes didn't as they looked from her toes to her head and back down making him grin.
"Oh...um...thanks I guess, I scouted the area ahead and it looks like the two hunters should be approaching our area in a matter of minutes, most likely forty" Crystal explained as everyone's hearts dropped as they realized there was no way those fleeing people could escape in time even with a whole morning and there was no way they could barracked up the building in that amount of time.
"Well we better start securing this building" Freddy muttered lowly as everyone nodded and as Arnold heard this his face of fear turned into a slightly less more face of fear.
The sound of foot steps racing across every floor of the building roared loudly as everyone was racing around trying their best to prepare for possibly their last fight. Xenik released a loud grunt as he stood in one of the building's rooms that over looked the left part of the dirt road and as he pilled up furniture against the room's wall he couldn't help, but feel a sense of pride.
"Xenik, Alex says he needs you to block the back door in the kitchen" A voice erupted out of nowhere as Xenik almost jumped in fear, turning around he was greeted warmly by Victoria's smile as she stood in the door way.
"Ok" Xenik sighed as Alex and Samantha were good with plans, but Alex seemed to be some sort of an expert when it came to defense tactics and Samantha was an expert on attacking.
"A widow's watch?" Arai muttered lowly as she stood on top of the widow's watch that sat on the roof of the building with Alex and Victoria.
"Makes the place look fancy" Victoria stated as they had a perfect view of the area around them.
"Also, helps us keep an eye out and gives anyone up here a clear view for fire support" Alex explained grinning as he grabbed the white wooden railing.
"They should be arriving any minute by now" Crystal's voice spoke out softly as they turned around to see her head pop out of the small door way on the widow's watch floor where, the stairs led up to. Everyone got a gut feeling at that moment as they realized that there was a high chance that they might as well have dug their own graves, this battle would change everyone.
The morning sun was now high in the sky as lunch time passed and everyone one lightly as they all had mixed feeling about the upcoming battle. Xenik kept a steady pace of breathing as he stood ducked lowly under the large open window's frame, he had a full view of the left road where the hunters should be coming from, but they all knew the hunters were most likely ready for the building and possible an attack. Xenik looked down at his feet where his Umbreon nicked named Shade, sits silently as he is prepared for what seemed to be a powerful move.
"Remember I used the TM on you a few weeks ago and we've practicing, so I need you give this one your all" Xenik explained to Shadow who nodded and seemed like he knew how to sue it powerful, but still save his energy. Peering over the window's frame he could see what now were two shadow like figures strolling down the road as if it was a average day, the hunters seemed like they were never worried of being ambushed and most likely because they could take on about anything.
Shade's ears peaked up as he could hear Arnold's foot steps race down the hall which was the two minute warning and followed up by Arai's mumbling from the vent system as she was in the lobby as her voice carried out from the air vent system.
"Such a dead silent moment that you can hear people breathing" Xenik muttered as Tyler must of hear him because all of a sudden the vent system went on so, that they could still yell and talk but no one could give their position away due to breathing.
"Good idea" Xenik said lowly as the hunters were now in the target area and it had seemed two minutes had slowly passed by.
"Shade use hyper beam" Xenik ordered his Umbreon who with this begun to charge up the powerful blast, as Umbreon got the attack ready a barage of bubbles flew pass Xenik's window as Victoria and her Piplup were on the widow's watch firing support and keeping a eye out.
"Bubbles!" Yukio cried out as the chubby hunter cried out as his peanut sized brain seemed to be able to catch the attack in time.
"Yukio, it's ok I saw their little set up the second we entered this dirt road" Jay laughed as he slowly slid out his large blade from his back holster and held it in front of himself. The bubbles crashed into the ground around them picking up dirt as they popped viciously on contact and as the bubbles became accurate, they only exploded on the shield's smooth blade. As the blade was used as a shield the two hunters were un-able to see the activity going inside the building, which included Shade's hyper beam. Out of nowhere a bright beam of light shot from Xenik's window and smashed right into the ground in front of the two.
"Direct hit!" Emma's voice cried out as the dust cloud disappeared only to revealed that the two hunters were un-touched by the attack.
"Looks like a bunch of travelers are trying to take a stand!" Jay laughed loudly as they hadn't realized the so called, travelers were the young trainers they had fought against not to long ago.
"Looks like they already have formed a plan" Freddy sighed as he hid behind in a small hole that was located on the sand shore of the lake.
On the road Jay and Yukio were already racing in different directions both dodging the bubble beam barage and other attacks that were being fire upon them. Freddy's eyes watched Jay carefully as he was racing towards the side of the building and Yukio was racing towards the front of the house. With this Freddy realized Jay had spotted him and was now racing towards him with his blade drawn out, Freddy could tell he had to make a move fast or he couldn't get off the sandy shore in one piece.
Sorry for the lack of action that I promised but the next chapter you all can tell will be filled with action. Enjoy and review people, because recently people tend not to.
