Chapter 21: Investigation: Electric Boogaloo
"He did what?!". Infernape was enraged at Bisharp for hurting Gardevoir, even though he never meant to in the first place. The ape was in Dorm 35, along with Garchomp, Luxray, Jolteon and Gengar.
"He didn't want to bathe in your fieary blaze". Luxray was sat on his bed. "Someone made him the angry steel he already is and raised his metal onto her, by which I mean not on purpose".
"Gardevoir is one of my closest companions. To me, Bisharp is sending messages of war specifially to me".
"Because he can't do anything to kill you, only using some fire move and he's gone?". Jolteon asked.
"Yeah...wait, Jolteon...can you and Luxray see where he went?".
"You are equal to Bisharp than you are to him". Garchomp added.
"Judging by the steel typing he is, he's probably gone to the janitor's closet, the same closet that Luxray caused havoc on the academy". Gengar spoke.
"This is kinda a big risk, Infernape". Jolteon turned to him, the fire type student lay on his bed. "The Fall Formal is next week, plus the guest speaker is a few days away. Having me and Jolteon investigate the closet and sneezing out the power can devastate the whole academy and pull the schedules backward".
"You are careful, Jolteon. What Lux tripped over was a steel cable, something that won't do him alot of damage". Infernape was chill.
"Um, okay". The electric eeveelution walked to the dorm door with Luxray. "If this happens again, I'm blaming you".
The two students left the door, Garchomp wondering if this was really worth it in the end.
"Are you sure Luxray can really return down there?". The dragon turned to Infernape.
"I may not have the brightest ideas and the smartest brain, but a fellow student can be crazy and still get away with telling the truth. Aren't I right, Garchomp?".
"I-I guess so...". The purple student went back to reading a book about elementals. Jolteon and Luxray's mission was starting to fade beneath the fascinating information of each elementals of Earth.
Luxray and Jolteon walked to the janitor's closet, the same which the lion cub accidently caused a fuss around the building. Their instincts told them Bisharp might be inside, but for sticking up to Gardevoir - one of the most loyal of the family tree of friends they had meant alot to them. Jolteon opened the door, revealing a staircase leading to a dark void and nothingness. Luxray walked in first, much to the dismay of the eeveelution.
"Don't sneeze the power out this time". He warned, but also a reminder of what happened.
The lion cub nodded, pinching his nose whenever he felt dust coming through his nose. The two creeked down to the closet, nothing but darkness overcrowded their vision. Luxray was the only one of out the two that could see through the dark. They kept moving foward, suddenly stopping to hear footsteps coming down the steps. Luxray and Jolteon gulped and slowly turned around, thinking it might be Bisharp coming to get revenge on whom he thought could frame him. Whistling was heard, the voice not matching the description of the steel pokemon. The two students backed up, only pressed against a wall a few centimetres away. The janitor had come with a flashlight, shining at the wall where Luxray and Jolteon were near. The lion cub wanted to open his mouth and scream, but Jolteon quickly covered it to prevent noise. Jolteon quickly found a cardboard box not to far from him and dragged the cub to take cover with him. The flashlight wa s quickly shone on the box, but no noise was heard, thankfully tricking the janitor. He walked over to his sound-proof vault room to rest. Luxray exhaled to pant, Jolteon meanwhile keeping calm about this.
"Keep the noise down, Luxray! He's going to hear you".
The lion cub panted less and less as the eeveelution peeked out of the cardboard box, facing toward the vault room where the janitor had gone.
"That must've been Leo...".
"Who's Leo?". Luxray asked him.
"The janitor. He-".
"Great generic lion name!". The cub inhaled the soft anger.
"Shh!". Jolteon lifted his hand and held it to his mouth to silence Luxray. He waited until it was a perfect opportunity to high tail it out of there.
"We should go!". The eeveelution softly instructed.
Luxray nodded. Together, they lifted up the cardboard box and snook past the vault room, the janitor taking a nap inside. The two electric pokemon ran up the staircase and back to surface. They closed the door and ran back to Dorm 35 in hopes to explain the whole situation to Infernape and the crew.
Jolteon and Luxray opened the door to Dorm 35, on the news that they didn't find who they was looking for. The two students were suprised to see Bisharp in the dorm, despite Infernape's hatred towards his action.
"Seriously, Bisharp!". Luxray thought, the annoyed look on the cub's face said it all apparently.
"We found nothing in the janitor's closet". Jolteon told the group before he got to the real business. "A certain someone almost killed Gardevoir".
"You wanted me?". Bisharp exited the closet room, four pairs of angry eyes staring down at him. "Ah! Jolteon and Luxray! How pleased of me to see yo-".
"Spit the truth!". Jolteon placed his hands on waist. "Did you...".
"...accidentally hurt Gardevoir while trying to comfront somebody over a slice of pizza?!". Luxray finished.
"You know about it too, huh? Toola Roola took it right in front of my eyes! I was infuriated!".
"It does not give the right to-".
"Okay!". Bisharp yelled, making everyone in the dorm flinch. "Gardevoir'd rather sacrifice herself to save Toola Roola! You all know how she is with helping someone in a hard situation. I didn't meant to whack her with a steel beam".
Bisharp sighed.
"I'm sorry. I should go and apologize".
"It took all of that to convince me you never meant to hurt Gardevoir, or Toola Roola in that case". Infernape added.
"Suffering at the hands of a fire primate, especially if your steel, well...".
"It hurts like Garchomp's ground".
"The truth hurts more than excuses". Gengar spoke. "Just be glad she's still alive after dealing that hard blow to the chest".
"I should really wait outside the nurses office". Bisharp felt bad for himself, thus leaving the dorm. Luxray and Jolteon watched him go, their mission successfully completed.
That's the end of this chapter. Jolteon and Luxray being set a mission by Infernape to locate Bisharp, only for the steel pokemon to eturn to Dorm 35 when they came back. What will happen next? Read on to find out. Please review.
