Disclaimer: Can't own Pokemon
Hey guys, sorry for the late update. I've been busy so couldn't really write a lot but now I can!
I have a question on the bottom which I would like you to read. It will determine whether or not if I will write new story/stories.
Enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 50:
The chairman was sitting in his chair and waiting in his Eterna City's office. He has one in every city and each office looks exactly the same. It was one large oak desk and a red swivel comfy chair. There was a large bookshelf on the side and contains many law, geography, history, and philosophy books. The carpet looked black instead of dark navy blue because the president had closed the only window and the curtains behind him. He was waiting for someone… someone very important.
There was a knock on the door. The chairman sighed with relief after he checked his clock, which was precisely six on the dot. Right on time as usual. "Come on in." The door creaked open and a pair of black heels came marching in. The guards that stood out front gave a salute before closing the door again. The chairman noticed that there was someone hiding behind his visitor but decided to ask later.
"I was hoping to see you at the meeting so you could back up with what I had to say. I assume you ask for this discreet meeting for a reason?"
"Yes chairman," Cynthia said and took a step to the side to reveal a young boy wearing a blue jacket and pants with black gloves and boots. His blue hair was covered with a large floppy hat. The chairman raised his eyebrow with confusion but simply pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and folded his arms on his desk as he waited for Cynthia to explain. The boy stared down at the ground so that the chairman couldn't see his face.
"His name is Alex," Cynthia stated first before she continued her request, "I needed to notify the higher ups but by doing so will put this boy in danger. That's why I came to you so that you'll be aware but not do anything threatening to this boy," Cynthia explained. Her gray eyes stared sternly at the chairman. "You're the only one I can trust to do this."
The chairman sighed and scratched his curly hair. "You haven't changed since we first met. Trusting me as much as I trust you…" He remembered the day when Cynthia had first met him when she became the Sinnoh Champion. "Tell me first and let's see what we can do."
Cynthia gave a nod to Alex who slowly took off his hat. The chairman's face turned for tiredness to bemuse to shock. The ears were pointing straight up in the air. "Tha- that's… that's," the chairman sputtered and couldn't even speak correctly.
"Mr. Chairman, he was created by scientists in the Eterna Galactic Building," Cynthia said in a deadly serious tone, "We are dealing with something even worse than you thought."
…
Lucas woke up with a slight pain in his head. He could see several stars starting to shine in the night sky. He sighed and decided to go back to sleep. It was just too peaceful to get up. Maybe he could dream about that giant ice cream sundae about the size of a house again.
That's when Lucas remembered what had just happened when he was fully conscious the last time. He was… falling… and then… He sat up and looked around him. He was in what appeared to be a large tall grass area. He looked to the side and noticed one of the pillars that supported the bike ramp up above. How in the world did he survive a fall like that? And where was his bike? He looked around and didn't see it at all… until…
"Gomp! Gomp! Gupppp!" Lucas looked behind him and saw a strange looking Pokemon with a dorsal fin on its back. It was really small but apparently seemed to be enjoyed that bike, now just a pile of metal, that was two times taller than it was. It gave a satisfying burp before patting its stomach which, Lucas noticed, had a large scar on it.
Oh, no… Lucas stared at the spot where his bike once stood. Dawn was going to kill him when she saw his disappeared bike. And what kind of Pokemon could eat metal?
Lucas frantically checked his bag until he found his Pokedex which he aimed at the full Pokemon. There was a beep and information came into Lucas' Pokedex. "A Gible… good diggers and love to play, especially with their jaws… Males have a cut on their dorsal fin while females don't." Lucas looked up to see the Gible walk over curiously at the Pokedex. There was no cut so Lucas assumed that it was a female. It suddenly opened its mouth wide and lunged at the Pokedex.
"Oh, sorry," Lucas immediately held his Pokedex high in the air before the Gible could bite it, "You can't eat this. Besides you ate my bike. Aren't you full?" The Pokemon jumped several times, its arms failing but the Pokedex was still out of reach. The Gible pouted but turned away. Lucas looked curiously at the Pokemon who started to walk away to find another source of food.
Lucas sighed in relief and got up. Now to find Dawn and Damion, though, knowing what they were going to do to him when they find him and his missing bike, perhaps he should take his time a bit. That's when he noticed a large shadow behind him.
"Wha-?!"
…
Gible grumbled, wishing for more food. More food means higher chance of growing and becoming the most POWERFUL POKEMON! At least that's what it hoped to be. It pushed its way through the tall grass when suddenly it was grabbed and flown through the air. Gible struggled with the shadow that was still holding on tightly. It finally opened its mouth and bit down on the shadow's arm.
"Are you okay?" Gible looked up, its jaw still piercing the skin and saw the young boy whom bike she just ate. The boy seemed to finally realize the pain from Gible. "Owwwwwwww." Gible let go and the boy released his grasp around her. The Pokemon then realized that where it just stood was a long thick hole. It looked up and saw a large Gabite. Its curved fangs gleamed, and it stares with an evil glare at Gible. Gible froze with fear. It was the same Pokemon that gave her the scar on her belly. The Gabite grin with a – "Time to settle our last battle" – look.
Gabite sent out another Slash attack but missed again thanks to Lucas, who grabbed Gible and started running like crazy. "Don't worry," the boy said, puffing from the run, "I'll protect you." The Gible stared with wonder at the boy who was saving her. Although he didn't look much, he was obviously putting a lot of effort to help her.
The Gabite roared with anger and charged straight at the two. It didn't took much effort to catch up with its speed. However, this time Lucas was ready. "Turtwig, Muchlax, and Shinx!" The three Pokemon came out. Lucas took a deep breath and tried to remember the moves his Pokemon knew. "Get ready! Turtwig use Razor Leaf! Muchlax Tackle! Shinx use Spark!"
Turtwig sent out a storm of small leaves at the Gabite who merely blocked them with its wings. Muchlax charged straight forward lazily but of course missed due to its lack of speed. Shinx… well it grudgingly sent out a Spark attack. Lucas sighed. Shinx wasn't listening to him at all, but at least it stopped biting. Perhaps it was somewhat grateful for Lucas protecting it during its last fight…
Lucas checked his Pokedex for data on this Gabite. "Okay this guy is an evolve form of you…" Lucas addressed this to Gible, "And weaknesses are Dragon and Ice type… but I don't have any of those moves…" Lucas looked up to see Turwig and Muchlax in a pretty bad situation. Shinx was being passive and was simply watching from afar.
Gible jumped out of Lucas' arm and charged forward as well. "Wait Gible!" Lucas called out. Turtwig used Bite on Gabite's wing and Gibile used Dragon Rage head on Gabite's stomach. Suddenly Gabite roared and a huge blast of purple energy surrounded its claw before it swiped at the three Pokemon – Turtwig, Muchlax, and Gible.
"NOOO!" Lucas yelled. He dived in and grabbed the three Pokemon before anymore damage could be done to them. "Are you guys okay?" The three Pokemon didn't respond. Only Turtwig was able to give a small nudge to Lucas as though to say – Run away. Lucas turned his head just in time to see Gabite standing in front of him. The angry Pokemon sent out a Slash attack straight at Lucas' face.
"Shinxxxxx!" Immediately the dragon Pokemon got knocked away by an electric attack. Lucas gaped in amazement to see Shinx ready to fight. It stood in between Lucas and Gabite. Lucas gulped in fear.
"Shinx! Get away from here!" Lucas called out. Shinx gave a glare and immediately bit Lucas' hand. "Owwwww," Lucas whimpered. This time, Shinx let go quickly and stared at Lucas and seemed to be conveying a message – I will repay the debt that I owe you.
...
"LUCAS! LUCAS!" Dawn yelled. Damion and she were walking down the grassy path of the place where Lucas had fallen. They were walking next to their bikes because walking would allow them not to miss anything.
"It's so dark here," Damion groaned impatiently, "Where in the world could he be?" He immediately froze when he heard a rustling in the bushes. There was a voice but it was too high pitch to be Lucas'. "Dawn, there's someone there." Dawn froze as well and soon the voice came closer and much louder.
"Aw man, that was scary… Mira is so glad that Mira managed to get out of that cave safely. Though Mira failed to catch the Pokemon she wanted… Sigh, Mira will have to try again tomorrow." Dawn frowned at what she just heard. Was this Mira… speaking in third person? Suddenly out of the tall grass appeared a small elementary girl.
The girl's long maroon pigtails went down to her knees though she had her right pigtail made into a loop. She was wearing a white puffed up sleeve shirt with a maroon ribbon around her neck. She also had maroon shorts and dress shoes to match. She also had on white stockings that went up to her pants. On her back was a yellow school bag that is usually seen with kids at school. Her face was filled with surprise at the two older trainers in front of her.
"Oh!" the girl said shocked, "Sorry. Mira didn't know there are people here." Damion looked strangely at this girl but Dawn immediately started to ask questions.
"Excuse me," Dawn said, "But have you seen a kid with a red beret on his head and a red scarf. The girl stared wide eye at the bizarre question but shook her head.
"Sorry, Mira didn't see anyone here matching that description." Dawn sighed in frustration. Damion too, but he was more of an "I can't believe this girl is calling herself in third person" sigh. "But," the girl said, "Mira knows this place well so maybe Mira can show you around so you won't get lost? You might spot your friend." Damion and Dawn stared at each other in and shrugged. Better than walking around in the dark and getting lost.
Mira walked toward to the left and pointed there. "There are a lot of places over there that your friend might be." Dawn and Damion followed their little tour guide as quickly as possible. "By the way, Mira is my name." Mira smiled and held out her hand.
"We know," Damion muttered, "You said your name like ten –" Damion was interrupted by Dawn slamming her heels onto his toe. While Damion was silently screaming with pain, Dawn introduced the two of them.
"Nice to meet you Mira," Dawn smiled, "I'm Dawn and this here is Damion." Mira stared at Dawn with a bit interest. After all, Dawn's elegant look and beautiful style would make any kid look up in awe.
"Wow! Mira is amazed! Where do you buy your clothes?" Mira asked. Dawn looked confuse at the question but quickly recovered when she realized that Mira must be the type of girl who looked up to mature girls.
"Oh, I bought this from a store in Hearthrome," Dawn smiled, "I get most of my clothes there."
"Wow!" Mira said enviously, "Mira always wanted to go there!"
"Well maybe we can get together sometime," Dawn smiled, "I know a lot of good places to get clothes." Damion stared grumpily at the two happy girls as though they were school girls giggling over some gossip stuff. This is lame and stupid. Why in the world did he have to get stuck in this situation?
Suddenly there was a loud boom and crash. Dawn, Mira, and Damion turned to their right and saw what appeared to be a large dust cloud. Faintly, Damion could hear a scream that sounded a lot like…
"LUCAS!" Dawn and Damion rushed forward toward the sound. Lucas was in danger, something that they didn't want to deal with again.
…
Lucas gasped as he tried to jump back from Gabite's Slash attack. Shinx was still trying to finish off Gabite but with Shinx's weak attacks and Gabite's speed, the odds were too great. The only good thing is that Shinx was small so most of Gabite's attacks couldn't hit, but it was only a matter of time.
"Shinx!" Lucas cried, "Move back and use Spark!" Shinx glanced at Lucas as though he was an idiot and ignored. Lucas sighed. Shinx was a lot like Damion's Buizel… never listening… though this seemed to be a more personal matter…
"Gahhhhh!" Gabite finally landed a Slash attack on Shinx who immediately flew into the air before slamming into the ground.
Shinx!" Lucas called out trying to run toward his weakened Pokemon but Gabite got in his way. Lucas immediately placed his Pokemon and the wild Gible behind him. The Pokemon scoffed at Lucas' stupid bravery was about to finish the job when suddenly something behind Lucas started to glow. Lucas turned around and saw to his surprise that it was Turtwig.
"Turt… wig?" The Pokemon started grow bigger and leaves started to grow from its shell and suddenly, it became a new Pokemon. The new Pokemon charged straight at Gabite who fell to the ground. Lucas stared at surprise and saw in his Pokedex a new entry.
"Grotle?" Lucas said the name with surprise. He looked up to see his new evolved Pokemon sending out a Razor Leaf attack while Gabite tried to shield itself. The attack was way more powerful than last time.
"Prinplup use Metal Claw!" Gabite immediately got attacked from behind and it screamed with pain. Lucas gaped in amazement at Prinplup. It was definitely Dawn's! And if it was here then that must mean…
"Lucas! Are you okay?!" Dawn yelled coming into view. Behind her were Damion and a strange little girl. Gabite growled at the new reinforcements and charged straight at Prinplup.
"Oh no you don't! Mira won't allow that!" The girl threw out her Pokeball and summoned a Kadabra, "Use Confusion!" Gabite screamed in pain at the new wave attack. It couldn't stand being hit so many times. However, it managed to still stand.
Lucas used this chance to crawled over to the weak Shinx. Lucas held Shinx in his arm and stared sadly at the unconscious Pokemon. "I'm so sorry… I'm not strong enough to lead you…"
"How strong is this Pokemon?!" Dawn cried as Prinplup sent out a Bubblebeam attack to retaliate. Lucas turned around and saw Damion with his Monferno, trying to hit with a Mach Punch.
"Ice and Dragon attacks work effectively!" Lucas called out, remembering his Pokedex's info.
"Well great!" Damion grinned. He took out another Pokeball and this time Buizel appeared. It still had a haughty look on its face but this time it was facing the enemy with confidence. "Come on Buizel! Show me what you got! Ice Punch!" Buizel charged forward with great speed and slammed its ice arm straight at Gabite's face. The Pokemon growled in a lot of pain. It can't take anymore of this. It gave one long stare at Gible's tired state before rushing away with the long grass hiding it.
"And that's how it is done!" Damion grinned. Buizel scoffed but gave a satisfy look. It even gave Monferno a high five slap.
"Lucas!" Dawn rushed over to Lucas and gave him a quick hug, "Are you okay?!" Lucas blushed softly but nodded.
"Yes, but everybody got hurt…" Lucas gave a sad look at his Shinx and at Muchlax and the Gible who was now walking toward Lucas. Apparently, the Pokemon didn't suffer too much damage as Lucas thought.
"Don't worry," Dawn gave a sad smile, "It'll be okay."
"Gahhhh!" Gible pushed Dawn away from Lucas. The Pokemon glared at Dawn as though they were rivals or something.
"What's wrong with that Pokemon?" Dawn asked, confused by its animosity.
"I don't know…" Lucas said confused, "It is a wild Pokemon… maybe it doesn't like trainers." As if to prove him wrong, Gible clutched onto Lucas' leg and continued to stare threateningly at Dawn. Both of the trainers stared at each other with confusion.
"Lucas! Your Turtwig evolved?!" Damion called out and grinned, "Congrats!" Damion gave Grotle a pat on the head and the Pokemon grinned.
"You see?" Dawn said, smiling as Grotle came over to Lucas, "Turtwig became stronger for you. Don't worry about it. Just remember that it takes time but you can make it." Lucas didn't really say much but he nodded as he returned his Pokemon. Dawn frowned. This isn't like Lucas to be so sad.
"How do you like that?!" Damion grinned as he returned his Pokemon. "I finish the final blow! And Buizel managed to listen to me now!"
"Mira is amazed at Damion's skills!" Mira said, her eyes gleaming with admiration, "Mira wants to be just as strong as you!" Damion grinned.
"Well what do you know?! You're not a really bad kid after all. Maybe you can become my apprentice."
"Mira would be most honored!"
"She's a friend of ours," Dawn said. "She helped us find you." Lucas stared with confusion before he finally understood what Dawn meant.
"Oh! So what's her name?" Dawn stared at Lucas before laughing at his question.
"What?" Lucas asked confused. Dawn smiled and shook her head.
"Nothing. It's just good to know you're okay."
…
Jupiter groaned as she lugged the boxes into the storage room. It was only less than 24 hours and she already got into a fight with one of the scientists because he was so demanding. Cyrus was so upset that he made her do grunt work as punishment. She was in one of the lower chambers. There was one ligh tbulb, hanging above that lighted the area though there was still darkness. The ceiling was leaking so there were several puddles as wide as a small pond everywhere. Jupiter was in one of the caged area where supplies and documents were stored in large boxes. Usually some Grunt needed to reorganize and take inventory.
"How's it going?" Jupiter looked up to see red hair Mars, who was staring at her in a Cherish Cat sort of grin. She was obviously down here to make fun of Jupiter. Everybody has been doing that, including Venus.
"Shut up Mars," Jupiter snapped, "You know it's not going so well." Mars held her hands up as though to back away.
"Okay, okay, sorry," Mars said, "I'm just bored because there is nothing to do. I mean, I already did my job and passed with flying colors."
"Really?" Jupiter said sarcastically, "If I recalled clearly, you got beaten by a 12 year old kid." Mars immediately blushed from embarrassment but snapped back.
"At least I didn't blow up one of our headquarters." The two commanders glared at each other angrily.
"You two! Calm down!" Mars and Jupiter turned to see that it was Saturn who said that. He looked obviously irritated and in his arms was a stack of legal work paper. "You both did mistakes so stop fighting about it."
"Really and what about you?" Jupiter retorted back, "You're not finish with your job. Isn't the boss frustrated?" Saturn pressed his lips tightly together to not fight back.
"We don't have the funds needed for me to finish the project," Saturn said, "Because someone just made us lose some of our asset by blowing things up." Jupiter glared back before slamming the storage room shut.
"I'm going to go tell the boss that I finish the job," Jupiter said.
"Actually, the boss isn't here," Saturn said. Jupiter gave a glare at Saturn's know-it-all head before leaving.
"Where did the boss go?" Mars asked. Saturn stared at Mars for a second before answering.
"He said he needed to go and enjoy some mountain scenery."
Author's Notes
Well, now this should be interesting. I got to write a whole lot more battles. Though I think I suck. Lol.
I introduced Mira who is from the game and Turtwig evolved! Yay! And what will happen to Alex?!
Okay, my question that I need to ask. I know a lot of you guys want to know more about Lucas' past but I can't put all of it in here. SO, would you like for me to write a prologue for this DP story? I'll have a poll up and depending on how many people answer will determine what I will do. Check out my profile to vote.
On to other news… HGSS manga! Whoo! So awesome! I love how they put a new twist to this arc though I wonder what they'll do with Crystal… I hope they hurry and show her.
Anyways, let's thank my reviewers before I go.
