"Pokémon Black and White: The True Legend"
Chapter 25 – Twisting Valley – Turning Memories:
Flashback Chapter.
Black and White woke up early in the morning. While White brushed her teeth, Black picked up the reason why White bent over the previous day, a Shiny Stone. He saved it in his bag for a later occasion. They woke up their Pokémons and decided to continue their journey. For their surprise, when they approached the famous Twist Mountain, they came across their friends Cheren and Bianca, who were battling with Samurott and Serperior.
"Samurott, Fury Cutter like we practiced! Bushi no Pasu!"Cheren commanded, as Samurott formed a light blue orb in front of her mouth and released multiple light blue beams against the ground, partially freezing it. Then, she ran through the ice, sliding through it. She stood on her hind legs and her claws of the upper legs began to glow light blue.
"Serperior, Reflect!" Bianca replied, as Serperior's eyes glowed red and a shining multicolored ball was created in front of him. The barrier stopped Samurott's attack, sending her back.
Black took out his Pokédex and took a look into Samurott's info and White used hers for Serperior.
"Samurott, the Formidable Pokémon and the final evolved form of Oshawott. Part of the armor on its anterior legs becomes a giant sword. One swing of the sword incorporated in its armor can fell an opponent. A simple glare from one of them quiets everybody. Its cry alone is enough to intimidate most enemies. In the time it takes a foe to blink, it can draw and sheathe the seamitars."
"Serperior, the Regal Pokémon and the evolved form of Servine. It can stop its opponents' movements with just a glare. It takes in solar energy and boosts it internally. They raise their heads to intimidate opponents but only give it their all when fighting a powerful opponent."
"Samurai's Path but with Razor Shell! Bushi no Pasu Kai! (It means "Samurai's Path Remastered")" Cheren commanded, as Samurott jumped onto the icy floor again and reached across to her other arm and drew her seamitar from her sheath on the side of it. When she drew it, the whole sword glowed light blue and the sword grew slightly longer. Samurott then slashed Serperior multiple times with it, causing great damage. In a blink of an eye, she was already behind Serperior, saving the sword in her sheath again.
"Serperior, Solarbeam!"
"Samurott, Ice Beam!"
Serperior opened his mouth and a golden orb formed and Samurott formed a light blue orb in front of hers. Then, Samurott released multiple light blue beams from the orb and Serperior released a powerful golden beam from the orb. The beams collided, forming a wide smoke cloud. The smoke cleared up and both Pokémons fainted when crossing glares.
Bianca and Cheren withdrew their Pokémon and approached each other, shaking each other's hand.
"Quite a battle there." Black said in the open, surprising Cheren and Bianca.
"Black! White!" Bianca said, hugging both of them. Both of them started grasping for air.
"Bianca, you only have to make your Pokémons, not your friends!" Black yelled, freeing himself and White from Bianca's hug.
"Hey!" Bianca shouted, making a mad pout.
Cheren suggested entering the Mountain. It was a known shortcut to the next city. They entered the cave and for their surprise,v they met Clay.
"Wasn't expectin' ta meet ya while checkin' on Twist Mountain. Mighty coincidence, that. Anyway, you look like you've toughened up." Clay admitted. Everyone grinned, mainly Cheren.
"Thanks." Cheren said in name of all.
"By the way, you seen Team Plasma lately? I've heard from other gym leaders they're meetin' up, but they buried deep or what? Who knows where they're hidin' out."
"I bet it isn't anywhere good." White admitted, frowning.
"But this is the only attitude I can have 'bout it. Well, this has got nothin' ta do with you, anyway. Kids oughta just have fun journeyin' with their Pokémons."
"I agree!" Bianca said, not really a fan of fighting. "But I still think Team Plasma should be defeated."
"Don't worry, the Gym Leaders are all helping in the situation. Lenora, Burgh and the triplets are taking the east side, as the rest are taking the west side. Anyway… Twist Mountain's a nice place! My favorite place of all's just down this passage. Hrm... you'd probably get it better if ya saw it for yerself. See ya! If ya want, come see me on my mountain for some Trainer trainin'!"
"Thanks, but no thanks." Black answered. "I think we could use this time to take a break and spend time as friends." He continued, making everyone else smile. Clay went his way, and the rest of the gang went their own way, talking and catching up on what has been going on.
The tunnel they took wasn't the best "stable" looking tunnel. Suddenly, it began to shake, and sounds began to rumble around the walls.
"Avalanche!" yelled Bianca.
"Avalanche is for snow!" Cheren corrected.
"Rockalanche!" yelled White.
"That word doesn't exist!" Black replied.
"ROCKFALL!" the four yelled in unison. They jumped back, dodging the rocks and any harm. But it trapped them in a rock-made cell. A book landed in front of Bianca.
"My life passed right in front of my eyes." Black said, with trembling food.
"Mine too." White said, grabbing his arm, making him blush a bit.
"Is it just me, or most of my life was being in the library?" Cheren asked himself, scratching the back of his head. "I need a girlfriend." He whispered very silently.
"My life passed in front of my eyes too. But that was because the photo album hit my head." Bianca said, rubbing the back of her head. She picked up the album and opened it, calling everyone else's attention.
"It seems that we're stuck here for a while. Might as well wait for Clay to find us." Cheren deduced, taking a quick look around at the situation.
"Is this photo album of us?" asked White, taking the album out of Bianca's hands.
"Yeah. I made it before we started the journey. So I wouldn't feel alone if… I don't know, I would be alone for a while." Bianca explained, taking out her Poké Balls. She opened them, letting out Serperior, Tranquill, Munna, Cinccino, Litwick and Ferroseed.
"Ser?" Serperior asked, not understanding why were they trapped.
"Long story." Bianca answered bluntly. The other decided to do the same.
Black let out Emboar, Gothorita, Larvesta, Simisear and Escavalier.
White let out Servine, Simipour, Mienfoo, Duosion and Accelgor.
Cheren let out Samurott, Gigalith, Herdier and Boufallant.
Yet, there was still space. (I know, hard to believe)
"Gather up people! Let's get some old memories back to life." Bianca said, as everyone gathered up to see the photos. They started passing through the pages.
"Oh look! This one is from the day we met White!" Black said, pointing out a picture of them in the sand box, with a sand sculpture of a Cotonee and a Petilil… or at least is what it was supposed to be.
"Remember this one? It was year and a half ago." Cheren pointed out. Black began grinning and White blushed.
Year and a half ago, in Nuvema town:
"Dude, I'm telling you, I could do that." Black said to Cheren, as White approached them. "Hey, uh… White, there's something that I want to ask."
"Sure, what is it?"
"They're so bouncy and round! Can I squeeze them?!"
"Eh?! No way!" She answered, crossing her arms tightly. But after one certain minute: "Well… One touch won't hurt, so…"
Black's hands grabbed the small bundles of her hair bangs.
"Wait, what?" asked White, sweatdropping. Black grinned a bit.
End of Flashback:
"That was a crazy day." Black laughed. He then stopped and sweatdropped when he saw White's furious expression.
"Oh! This one is from when we were 8 years old." Bianca said. "It was my birthday, when I became 9."
"It was that sleepover, wasn't it?" Black asked, remembering the day it all happened.
Flashback:
"Here you go, sweetie."
"Thanks mom!" 8 year old Black said, as his mom gave him a bagpack, which seemed pretty full. I was around 6 PM.
Black left the house after he said goodbye to his mother and went to Bianca's house. Her mom said she was waiting upstairs and he entered Bianca's room.
"Happy Birthday, Bianca."
"Black!" she threw herself to him and hugged him, starting to suffocate him by mistake.
"Stop! Stop!"
"Ok. Sowwy."
"Happy Birthday." Cheren and White said, entering the room too. Each one brought a bag pack. Black grinned when it was their turn to suffer from her hug.
They began by watching a movie on Bianca's TV. Of course, Cheren was reading a book. Good thing Black took it away after ^Bianca stole Cheren's glasses. They ate popcorn while watching a movie, with Brycen as the main actor. Black and Cheren were tortured with all the chitchatting Bianca and White made, saying how dreamy Brycen was.
They told horror stories, which is where Black's story telling talent was revealed. They ended up wanting to try to go to sleep, but they couldn't.
"Is any of you asleep?" White asked out loud.
They all answered the same. "No."
"That movie is stuck in my head." Black admitted, remembering the awesome battles they saw.
"No wonder. The DVD box is under your pillow." Bianca said, laughing. Black sat up and took the box out from under the pillow, scratching the back of his head.
"Black meant about the battles." Cheren explained. They all rolled over, so they could look into each other's faces.
"You know, we should all go on a journey when we grow up! A Pokémon Journey." Black suggested, quite excited about the idea he just had.
"I agree with you." White admitted, liking the idea how fun it would be to meet Pokémon.
"Me too!" Bianca agreed with White.
"How about when we all become 14?" Cheren asked, already planning out everything in his mind.
"Ok!" Bianca agreed again.
"I'm going to get an Emboar, and a Volcarona, and an Escavalier, and a lot more of powerful Pokémons!" Black exclaimed pretty enthusiastic.
"I bet my Gigalith and Stoutland are going to beat them up!" Cheren replied.
End of Flashback
"How did we view the future?" Black asked, hugging Emboar and Escavalier, with Larvesta on his head. Simisage and Gothorita smiled, happy for their Trainer.
"I always admired Gigaliths." Cheren admitted, adjusting his glasses, blushing slightly, not wanting to admit his feeling towards his Pokémons. Herdier barked happily, and so did the others.
Bianca and White also smiled and hugged their Pokémons. By mistake, a photo of Black and White of their wedding rehearsel slipped out of white's pocket. They blushed, and everyone in the rock prison wanted to know the story about it.
But that story, we all already know.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Turns out they manage to escape in the next chapter, but and a lot will happen after then.
Please review, like it, ask for more, and…
Bye, remember, BEAST OUT!
