Chapter 34: Gone, But Wait!

Written by drake22ice

While on their journey to the Land of Sand, the three young trainers have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the final pokemon to hatch from an egg given by the deceased Sam Oak to the daughter of the known Ash Ketchum. Star and the other two have started their journey in a different way than most new trainers. They have battled harder and for their lives before even getting to the region where the two girls, Star and Tera, plan on competing in the League of the four Islands. Connor on the other hand will be showing his skill level within the contests of this region. Each of them have met up with new friends and new rivals and foes to keep them busy and to drive their development as trainers and coordinators. Let's hope that with this new pokemon friend of Star's will join in and become a vital member of this group of friends.

As the three stood there watching the pokemon reveal more of itself by shaking the rest of the sand covering itself, Star could not even take a breath. It seemed to have a head shaped similar to a pyramid that was tipped over-- the beak being the main point. It had a flat panel above its eyes of a dark red. The rest of the bird-like pokemon's body was mainly tan. The dark red also showed as trimming the wings and tail. "Oh, its a cute little bird pokemon!" Star gasped out as she stepped towards it to introduce herself. The pokemon put its head down and wiggled its butt up in the air before leaping up to Star's arms calling out-- "Duska--dorrrrrr!" Star fell backwards laughing. Bluebolt jumped on them wagging its little blue tail and licked the new pokemon. "Duskador, huh?" Star asked. It looked up at her and then realized the two pokemon waiting to meet the new pokemon. Duskador hopped down to meet Feezub and Burwuf. They looked at each other and jumped into a group roll. They were so happy to finally meet. "So is it a flying type?" Tera asked in a rude manner. At that point, Duskador jumped out of the pokemon pile and gave Tera a weird look. It them opened its mouth to shoot a wad of mud at Tera's shoes. "Mudball! You are a ground type!" Star called out. Tera just wiped off her shoes with a disgusted facial expression. "Greeeeat!" she whined out.

Star grabbed her new pokemon and ran towards the pokemon center to show Prina. She rushed through the doors to see Prina holding the little Molteneel. Prina had a bottle that the little guy was drinking from. "What's that stuff?" Tera asked Prina. Prina finally noticed they had come in. "Oh, Star, yer pokemon fina-wee decided to join us, huh? 'ts cute!" Prina said looking at the new pokemon. While Nurse Joy showed her interest in registering the pokemon into the data of the center's new pokemon system, Prina finished feeding the Molteneel. "It's Tomato Berry Juice! Since it's usually very spaicy for most individuals, we fig'rd it'd be great for dees lava- mouth creatures. He seems ta like it! I wish Lanturn was here to--." Prina sighed.

Star was so excited about showing off her new pokemon, even though she did not know too much about it, yet. Other people started to gather at the window. "What are they doing?" Tera asked. She went over and looked through the crowd. "uhh, Prina!! Come quick!" Tera shouted as she ran out the door. Star dashed out with Bluebolt and Duskador followed. Connor helped Prina get up and they both hurried to see what was outside. They saw a group of people gathering over by the dock. When they finally pushed through, Prina was facing the group of molteneels from before at the water's edge. The three kids got into defense mode and were grabbing for their pokeballs. Prina put out her arm. "No!" she said as she stared at the one in front. She walked into the water. The little guy in her arms leaped and curled itself around this new lead in the group. It nodded and the group spread apart to reveal that they had brought a friend. "Lanturn!!" Prina shouted in tears as she lunged into the water to hold the large fish pokemon. She held it so tight. It showed its damage acrossed its back and fins. "I was so worried!" whimpered Prina. The three kids went out and hugged it, too. "Thank you!" they said. The Molteneels started to leave. "Wait!!" Prina called out. She did not get to say her farewells to the molteneel she had fought to save.

The crowd of people soon left, too. They had seen a remarkable display of human-pokemon comradery. Tera heard one of the say "That guy on the news is wrong about Humans and Pokemon not being able to do anything without distruction". As Prina returned Lanturn and headed for the pokemon center, Connor stopped her. "Prina, someone doesn't want to leave you!" he laughed out. Prina turned to see a little Molteneel speed racing through the water. It leaped at her-- making her fall into the water laughing. She looked to see if the other Molteneels were there, but they had moved on. "So you wanna stay wit me, huh? Well, alright!"

After they got back to their rooms at the center, Star and Tera had a hard time going to sleep. Duskador was playing tag with Vulpix, Feezub and the two pichus. "Ha ha! Look at them!" Star commented. Tera did not react very interested. Star looked over to see that Tera was deep in thought. "What are you worrying about?" Star insisted. Tera took her head from resting on her hand. "Oh, nothing!" she said and set her head back to her hand. "Come on! I know you a little by now – enough to see something's up!" Star pushed on. "Well, you remember the news broadcaster that is always around for the sitings of the SPAT group?" Tera asked. Star not seeing where it was going until-- "Wait-- he hasn't been around when we got attacked by SPAT!" she gasped out. "Exactly! I think he is some how involved in this SPAT group, but doesn't want to be seen here!" Tera proposed. "I think you are reaching out on a limb, Ter!" Star responded. Seeing Tera was getting mad at her reaction, Star turned to watch the pokemon play, but a flash of light caught her eye from out the window. She got up and went over to see if it would do it again. "Now, what?" Tera asked. Star was looking out over trees to one area in particular. "I thought I saw—ah-- look there! Did you see that?" Star yelled. Tera looked, and it flashed again. They gave each other a look and ran downstairs and outside with their pokemon.

As they rushed away from the center, they had to run through trees and bushes to get in the direction they were headed. Star and Tera both tripped over something soft and fell to the ground. They her a moan and then looked to see that Turk was in a sleeping bag that they just fell over. He immediately jumped up to the disruption. "So it's you two! What-- you got tired of hurting pokemon, so you moved on to humans?" he remarked. Tera slapped him aright across his head. "You Jerk! Star, let's leave." Tera demanded. As they got up Turk released Newdow in their way. "Turk, we don't want to battle you!" Star said softly before Tera yelled-- "I do!" She released Feezub. Star decided to let Duskador out. "What-- your pokemon egg finally hatched? It doesn't look like much of a pokemon!" Turk said. The little pokemon did not like the comment and shot a MudBall to splash over Turk's face. "Ha ! Okay, Star, I like your new pokemon!" Tera laughed out. Turk wiped his eyes and called out to Newdow -- "TongueLash!" "Feezub, Headbutt!" Tera quickly called back. The pokemon stared at each other and did nothing. They all stood in a gaze as nothing happened until-- "Fine, Werfel, come on out!" Turk smirked as he hid behind a tree. "But, Turk, I thought at night-- huuuauah!" Star said as the fierce little pokemon started throwing itself at her, Tera, and the pokemon on the field. Tera let Pichu out. "Pichu, IronTail that Werfel away from us!" Pichu saw the little pokemon running toward it and freaked out. It ran behind Tera.

A siren could be heard so Werfel shot back into its pokeball at Turk's demand. Turk battled the pokeball with its cage until he got it clamped. He saw Officer Jenny coming, and ran off! "Wait!" Star yelled raising her arm, but he had left. "What's going on here?" Officer Jenny called out. Tera stepped forward-- "We just got attacked by—mmmmffmfmff!" she finished through Star's hand. "Uh, we were just practicing our battling . It kinda got out of hand!" Star said with nerves behind her voice. Tera pushed her hand away and looked at her in annoyance. "Well, it is past curfew! You should be back at the center." Officer Jenny insisted. Star and Tera looked at the sky where they were heading for a good minute, but no flashing. "Alright, we'll head back." Star said in grief.

As they walked back up to the entrance of the center, Star looked back to Tera. "So what do you think that flash was?" Star asked with an inferior tone. Tera was still mad about not turning Turk in, but replied-- "I dunno, but if it is there tomorrow, I'm going to find out." Tera paused. "And if your so called friend attacks us, I am not holding back against him." Tera finished pushing Star aside and running up the stairs.

Well, that turk is having quite an effect on these girls' journey. What was the flashing? And why didn't Feezub and Newdow follow their call to attack? Keep reading!
