Chapter 19 (Part 1): Thanks to the Siren


Previously: Xavier and Laura were rescued by childhood friends Keith and Julie. While Laura was send ahead, Xavier journeyed trough the snowy field. Xavier was attacked by a Weavile and almost fell off the mountain. Thanks to the evolution of his Bulbasaur and his friends, he was saved. Then his Eevee and Kim's Eevee went on to evolve to Glaceon and Leafeon respectively.

Siren's Flygon flew over a familiar setting which Laura quickly recognized. She had been there before. A big building with a lot of people and Pokemon around came into view.

"Let's make a stop here"- She told Siren's Flygon and her Skarmory.
Siren's Flygon flew close to the ground so Laura could jump off. They followed Laura to the building. It was the Orphanage Center.
"You two can rest here a while, ok?"- Laura "I won't stay too long"

The Pokemon nodded and waited outside as Laura entered the Center. Just as quickly as she came in, she saw Rika and Krystal who where over at the front desk doing some paper work. They were a little caught up on their work, that they didn't notice Laura come in. Just when Laura was going to greet them Riven ran by.

"What did I do!"- He yelled at the furious girls running after him.

Krystal and Rika ignored the commotion and continued working. Sarah and Cody then came through the door.

"Hey Sarah!"- Sarah.
"Glad to see you"- Cody.
"Hey guys, nice to see you too"- Laura greeted them.
"Laura!"- Rika
"We hadn't notice you there"- Krystal "Is nice to see you".
Riven then ran by again and hid behind the Front Desk.
"Again?"- Sarah asked Riven.
"I'm sorry, is this a bad time?"- Laura asked.
"Not really, it's always like this"- Rika said and everyone agreed.
"Shh! They're coming"- Riven said as he hid and the girls ran by again.

"Where is him!" The girls demanded.
"I think he went outside"- Sarah told the girls.
"Thanks"- The furious girls ran outside looking for Riven.
"Phew…"- Riven
"Riv…what did you do?"- Krystal
"Nothing!" Riven yelled "I didn't do or said nothing…at all!"
"And yet, that never stops you from getting in trouble"- Sarah joked.
"Haha, you're hilarious" Riven said sarcastically "Oh hey Laura, where are the others?"
"Well…"- Laura explained everything to them.
"I see" Krystal "We had been having trouble with Team X too".
"So you'll be back with your friends soon?"- Cody.
"Yep!"- Laura said happily.
"That's good" Rika "Have you heard anything from Xavier?"

"No, Team X damaged my Poketch. But I figure he must be alright with his friends"- Laura.
"I can fix it for you" – Riven
"That's great!"- Laura
"But it will take a while and I won't be able to guard the center"- Riven
"You don't do that anyway"- Cody joked.
"That's not true, I guard this center with my life 24/7"- Riven.
"Aren't you supposed to be doing that now?"- Rika.
"I may be here, but I left someone watching the Center?"-Riven.
"Who? Your Pikachu?"- Cody replied with a smirk.
"...No"- Riven said while looking nervous.
"That's okay, she can come help us with the Pokemon"- Krystal "Is that okay Laura?"
"Yeah, I would love to help" Said Laura as she handed her Poketch to Riven.
"Great, let's go"- Rika and Krystal directed her to another room with Pokemon Eggs in shelves. The room felt a lot warmer than the rest of the center.

"This is the nursery, here we take care of Pokemon Eggs we find or get"- Cody explained "I think you have been here before right?- he asked.
"Yes, last time I was here"- Laura replied "So how can I help?"
"You can help us clean the eggs"- Cody.
"Okay"- Laura.

Meanwhile

"Finally made it!" Julie said as they exited the snow covered forest and came upon an clear field with a helicopter waiting. Xavier collapsed on the ground.
"I can't believe, you made us climb down that huge ice covered field with mad Weaviles and then walk like a hundred miles to get trough that forest crawling with even madder Ice Pokemon! When you could have sent the Helicopter to pick us up from the start!" Xavier complained.
"Stop being such a baby Xavy, we only walked a mile"- Julie " The helicopter couldn't have picked us up, because he said it was dangerous to pilot a Helicopter up a mountain during a blizzard" Julie helped Xavier up.
"It is dangerous to do that during a Blizzard! But so is climb down the mountain during one!"- Xavier yelled.
"Would you two chill out? We made it down and there's the Helicopter"- Keith.
"Yeah, let's go. The pilot's waiting" She said as she dragged Xavier to the Helicopter. The pilot opened the doors and got out. He wasn't wearing the outfit of a pilot, but that of a Pokemon Ranger. He jumped off the Helicopter and so did a Sandslash.

"Top Ranger Siren! On the Job!"- He said as he flashed his Capture Styler.
"Siren!"- Xavier said in amazement "You're the pilot?"
"Yep!"- Siren.
"Sandslash!"
"How did you find out what happened to us?"- Xavier.
"Well duh! Kimberly told me, but I figured I couldn't get there on time to help"- Siren explained "So I called Nick and Ross"
"Who send us to help you and Laura"- Keith.

"While I got here on this Helicopter to take you back"- Siren finished "Now get on, we have to go now" said Siren as he pushed them on the Helicopter and closed the doors.

"I didn't know you could fly helicopters" said Xavier "You do know how to fly helicopters…right Siren?"
"Does that even matter?"- Siren said as he started pushing buttons on the Helicopters controls and they took off.
"I'm starting to think this wasn't a good idea"- Julie.
"You think!"-Xavier.
"Calm down guys, I'm sure he knows what he's doing" Keith "I hope he does…"
"We're going straight to where Kim is right?"- Xavier.
"Yes, but first we have to pick someone up"- Siren.

Orphanage Center

"Thanks for helping out Laura"- Said Rika as Riven entered the Nursery.
"And I finished repairing your Poketch" Riven said as he handed Laura her Poketch "It should work just fine now"-Riven assured.
"Thanks!"- Laura
"Try it out"- Riven.
"Ok"- Laura pushed a button on her Poketch. She was calling Xavier.
"Laura? Is that you? Are you okay? Where are you?"- Xavier.
"Yes, I'm fine. I'm at the Orphanage Center. Are you okay?"- Laura.
"Yeah, Stay right there, we're coming to get you"- Xavier.
"Okay. I'll see you here"- Laura said as she ended the call.
"Well we all had our doubts, but it looks like Riv really fixed your Poketch"- Krystal.
"Hey!"- Riven. Laura giggled.
In less than 25 minutes later Xavier and the others arrived to pick up Laura. Siren recalled his trusty Flygon to it's pokeball. They were ready to leave.

"It was nice seeing you guys again"- Laura.
"You too"- Cody.
"You guys come back to visit ok?"- Krystal.
"We will"- Laura said as she started getting on the Helicopter.
"Laura we wanted to give you this as a thank you for helping us"- Rika said as she handed Laura a Blue and Silver Pokemon Egg to Laura.
"Wow, thank you" Laura.
"Take Good Care of it"- Rika,
"I will"- Laura "Bye" she said as she closed the doors and Siren started pushing buttons.
"Here we go again"- Xavier said as she cringed to his seat.
"Wimp"- Julie.
"Be happy Xavier"- Siren "Next stop! Eterna City"
"Sandslash"
