Chapter 52
"So, what's the plan?" Tony asked as the sun came up over the icy mountains. Snow was patched around the ground. Pieces of wood were scattered, roofs from houses were on the ground, and there were even some limp, lifeless Pokemon. Tessa and Aaron were warming their hands as they awaited Drake's decision.
"We need to help this village as much a possible, but we need to get to Cinnabar," Drake contemplated out loud.
Montana butted in, "Well, how about we stay for the day, help out, and then leave bright and early." The group seemed to like this idea, so they went with it.
"Okay, well our Pokemon need to be healed. Aaron, surely there is a healer in this village," Drake said.
"Yeah, that's me," Aaron answered softly.
"Oh okay. Well let's get all the working villagers in groups and start assigning jobs," Drake said to Tessa as she was the one with the best connection with the heartbroken villagers. Tessa left to go talk to the villagers.
"Aaron, set up a spot and start healing," Drake ordered. He wasn't trying to be bossy, but they didn't have time to lose.
"Montana, what do you want to do?" Montana looked around.
"I want to help clean up the dead Pokemon," She said with her head down. Drake nodded.
"Tony?"
"I can help control the kids. Cause I'm not strong enough to move any of this stuff," Tony suggested.
"Good idea," Drake agreed.
"What about you, Kit?"
"Well, the Ocean is severely damaged from that ship's oil, and the submarines battling. I could clean it up," Kit offered. Drake nodded again. At that time, Tessa returned with the men and more work savvy women.
"Okay, Montana is going to give all these dead Pokemon good burials. Kit is going to clean the ocean from all the oil and battled debris. Kit is healing the Pokemon that fought. I am going to clean of the debris on land. Tessa, what are you doing?"
"I going to use your Gyarados to travel to other islands and get supplies." Drake nodded.
"I need most men to stay with me. I need one or two to go with Tessa. Montana may need a lot of help as there are a lot of deaths out there. Kit, do you need help?"
"Only if they have their own water Pokemon," Kit said. She gave all her Pokemon to Aaron, except Lapras.
"Well, I have a Dewgong," a skinny girl said. She was probably under the age of ten, but Kit let her come along.
The groups split up. Drake had most men and some women. Tessa had a burly woman and muscled man. Montana had the village priest with her along with many women that had experience in that expertise. Tony took the kids into the cave and played with them. Kit and Rachel, the skinny girl, left to clean the ocean. And Aaron walked to the beach, so he would have more room.
"Okay, we need to put everything in a pile. Put everything that is reusable for building in one. Put everything that's not reusable for building but burnable over here. And then put all the trash right in the middle," Drake ordered. He and the men worked hard. Lifting, pushing, and throwing made them sweat like hogs. Drake soon took off his shirt as most of the men did. The debris looked lighter than it was. Drake was killing himself just picking up the small stuff. Another teenage boy walked up to him and began to help him out.
"Two people doing this is easier than one," Drake laughed. The boy laughed.
"So, how was it in there?" asked the boy. He was probably a year older than Drake and had light blond hair. His eyes were brown and he wore swimming trunks.
"Umm, it was intense. Yeah, intense," Drake answered as best he could. Something that traumatic was hard to explain.
"I wish I had a Pokemon so bad," sight the boy.
"Why don't you?" Drake grunted as they picked up another big hunk of wood that was previously part of a wall in a house.
"We don't get Pokeballs here. Since people figured out how to fly without the move Fly, they stopped coming here," answered the boy.
"So?"
"So, they forgot about us," sighed the boy.
"Well, how about I lend you a Pokeball and one of my Pokemon to help you out," Drake offered.
"Really!" exclaimed the boy. Drake nodded.
"I could also have Charizard or Gyarados fly us anywhere." The boy stuck out his hand.
"The name is Blake," said the boy.
"Drake," Drake said as he shook his hands. They continued to talk and pick up the debris.
"Tony, why did those people destroy our home?" a girl named Olivia asked Tony. Tony turned around the chubby seven year old.
"They are very bad people," Tony said, trying to answer nicely.
"Oh," Olivia sighed. She picked up a pink rock and skipped across the ocean. Tony was watching ten kids that ranged from three to eight. They were all so young and naïve. Tony remembered his days before meeting Drake.
Tony sat on a bail of hay, watching his farm Pokemon graze. Ponyta and Rapidash raced each other. Tauros and Bouffalant charged each other, trying to impress each other with their power. Milktank sat and watched the show.
Beside Tony lay his Rattata, his best friend. His Voltorb was pushed up against his back. He watched the sun set. He dreamed of becoming a Pokemon Trainer, but every time he did his dad popped into his head saying, "Son, you're not strong enough."
Tony shook his head. "Those dreams I once had are child fantasies. This is the real world and if we don't stop it these kids will have to grow up as fast as I have. And that's not fair," Tony said to himself. He called out Seel, his baby Pokemon. The kids played with him.
"Seel, are you ready to start battling?" Tony asked seriously. Seel looked at Tony oddly and spat a stream of water at him. Tony laughed. "I'm going to take that as a no." Seel jumped into his arms.
"So, where is your Dewgong?" Kit asked the skinny girl walking beside her.
"She lives in the ocean. But my whistle calls her," explained the girl.
"Cool. So, what's your name?"
"Justice," the girl answered.
"That's a nice name," Kit smiled. They reached the shoreline. Justice whistled softly, making a sweet tune with her lips.
"Dew!" A Dewgong cried as it leaped across the water. The Dewgong came to rest on land and licked Justice.
"So, how did you meet Dewgong?" Kit asked.
"Her mom was caught by poachers. I found her crying and whining behind a rock near here. I've raised her since I was 6," Justice explained.
"How old are you now?" Kit wondered. Justice looked Tony's age.
"Eighteen," Justice laughed.
"Woah," Kit said, appalled.
"Yeah. My mom had cancer and they think I have it," she said as if it didn't bother her.
"I'm so sorry," Kit said as she pulled out a Pokeball.
"It's alright. I have done well in my life. When I go, I'll go happy." Kit was amazed at the girl's braveness. Justice hopped on Dewgong, waiting for Kit. Kit tossed her Pokeball in the air.
"La!" Lapras sang beautifully. Kit jumped on her back and sped to the wreckage.
Tessa, Aaron, and a couple men watched the girls sail off. "Can you heal Gyarados first?" Tessa asked sweetly.
"Yes, ba-," Aaron answered, catching himself mid sentence.
"What were you going to say?" Tessa blushed.
"Oh nothing." Aaron released Gyarados and she rested on the smooth sand. Aaron rubbed his hands together and pressed them up against Gyarados's body. His hands glowed a faint blue. Gyarados was amazed with his power.
Tessa's eyes widened. "Are you a psychic?" she asked, freaking out. "Drake is a psychic, too!" Aaron stopped and rubbed his hands together again.
"No, it's a very long story. I planned to tell you and Drake tonight," Aaron explained as Gyarados launched herself into the sky, feeling better from the epic battle.
"Gyarados, would you rather us fly or swim?" Gyarados dove into the ocean. She wasn't going to miss out on wide open waters. Who knows when she would see it again after they reached mainland.
"Let's go then," one of the men ordered. They all, the men and Tessa, jumped on Gyarados's back. They set sail to look for supplies. Gyarados pulled a water freight, so they could carry more at once. They expected one trip to be enough.
Aaron looked back. "That girl is something else. I don't think I've ever seen a girl like I've seen her," Aaron thought to himself, constantly thinking about Tessa.
Montana cried. The women cried. So many bodies. So many lives lost, Pokemon and human. Every body was wrapped with a blanket of leaves because the island had a plethora of them. They dug six feet under, burying each body where they died. Mother's buried sons, daughters, and husbands. They buried every Pokemon, even the Rockets.
"Why are we burying these ruthless Pokemon?" a lady yelled at Montana.
"These Pokemon were trained to be that way. They had no choice!" Montana yelled, not holding her temper.
"Well, I'm not helping," whined the woman.
"Good, go on and be useless somewhere else," Montana ordered. The woman stormed off kicking and screaming. Montana rolled a Weezing in a hole and covered it with dirt.
"May you rest in peace," Montana prayed as she patted the dirt down. She did that on every burial.
Time flew. The village was slowly coming to again. The village area was cleaned and there were foundations for new houses to be built. The ocean was mostly cleaned up, only having the temporary oil residue that the submarines left. Kit and Justice didn't know of a way to solve that, so they just diluted it to the weakest it would go. All the Pokemon were healed by Aaron's unique healing ability. Tessa and her workers brought back enough supplies and food to build thirty houses and last the village a whole month in food. Tony didn't lose a kid, which surprised Montana.
"So, are you ready Blake?" Drake asked as he and his new friend walked from their hard days work. Charizard and Tessa's Charizard were nuzzling each other. "Well, I guess they finally found love," Drake joked. Blake laughed as well. Charizard perked up upon Drakes arrival. He charged Drake.
"Slow down," Drake ordered. Charizard stopped abruptly. Drake petted his head. "Want to take us somewhere?" Drake asked the fiery Pokemon.
"Char!" He roared. Blake smiled cheek to cheek. Both boys jumped on his back. Luckily, Charizard was strong and didn't struggle very much as he carried the boys.
"Land here," Blake ordered. He saw a brown blob below. Charizard broke softly, making sure he didn't throw off his passengers. The blob looked up and kicked the air.
"That is a Hitmonlee," Drake said. "It's a Fighting type."
"Good, so next time an intruder attacks, I can take care of him myself," Blake said ruthlessly. Drake knew the whole Rocket invasion screwed him up.
"Want to use Charizard?" Drake asked.
"YES!" boomed Blake.
"Okay, he knows: Flamethrower, Wing Attack, Slash, and Dragon Pulse," Drake explained. He turned to Charizard. "Listen to every word he says." Charizard huffed and walked forward.
"You ready?" Blake asked. Charizard spat fire at the ground, making the Hitmonlee jump.
"A Hitmonlee who jumps at the sight of battle," Drake thought. Drake stood across from the battle scene with his arms crossed, hoping that Charizard would obey Blake for this short amount of time. Drake pulled out his PokeDex.
"Hitmonlee, the Kicking Pokemon. Hitmonlee are all male and are one of three evolved forms of Tyrogue. Its legs can stretch double their length, making first-time opponents timid and cautious," explained the PokeDex.
"Blake, Charizard has never battled a Hitmonlee, so make sure not to push it or get to close!" Drake yelled. Blake nodded and Drake looked back down to his PokeDex. He used the 'Wild Pokemon Scan' application. The application was one that could scan a wild Pokemon and give a list of facts about the breed or the individual Pokemon. A screen popped up with two buttons: 'breed' or 'individual'. Drake pressed 'individual'.
"This Hitmonlee has had no current Trainers. His ability is Reckless; however, he hasn't used it yet. His level is 23 and his current moves are: Double Kick, Focus Energy, Jump Kick, and Brick Break," explained the PokeDex. Drake nodded.
"Charizard, use Flamethrower from the sky," Blake ordered, remembering Drake's advice about getting to close. Charizard released his powerful stream of flames from his jaw. Hitmonlee jumped around, dodging and ducking the flames. Drake held his PokeDexes scanner towards the battle. The PokeDex could determine the personality and nature of the Pokemon with enough data and research.
"This Pokemon's mentality of fighting is poor and needs serious training. Hitmonlee dodges first and then attacks. His speed is acceptable for his breed. Consider capture," said the PokeDex.
Hitmonlee jumped high, eye level with Charizard. He lashed out with his stretchy leg. Charizard was flung back, but he caught himself from the fall. Hitmonlee fell to the ground, his powerful legs breaking the fall.
"Charizard, use Dragon Pulse!" Charizard's jaws widened as a sphere of energy formed in between them. The energy crackled with electricity. Charizard released the sphere, blasting Hitmonlee as he touched the ground. Hitmonlee flew and hit a tree. He was out cold. Drake tossed a Pokeball to Blake. Blake threw the Pokeball, hitting his target on the head, well in Hitmonlee's case, his body. The ball succumbed Hitmonlee, wiggling a few times, and clicking once. The capture was final.
"Yes!" Blake yelled. He picked up his Pokeball and cheered loudly.
"Ready to go?" Drake asked. Blake smiled gratefully. The ride back was full of cheer and happiness.
"Dinner time," a woman announced. She had made a huge bowl of vegetable soup. Every person lined up for the delicious smelling food. The children and women went first. The men were last. Aaron stood by Drake.
"I need to tell you and your group something," Aaron told Drake. Drake nodded.
"Well let's just set up a fire by ourselves, so we won't be disturbed," Drake ordered. Montana, Tessa and Tony walked by.
"Tana, have Charizard and Primeape make a fire for us," Drake said. Montana nodded in agreement. The line went by fast and soon Aaron and Drake were walking towards their fire.
"Okay, so I can't get over your healing powers," Tessa blurted out as Aaron sat on the stone seat.
"Healing powers?" Montana asked.
"Umm, yeah," Aaron sighed.
"Are you a psychic?" Drake asked in shock.
"No," Aaron answered bluntly.
"Then why do you have them?" Tony asked, tired of waiting for him to explain.
"Okay, well you know how my mom and sister died while my mom was giving birth to me and my sister," Aaron said, making the group remember one of their first conversations. They nodded in unison.
"Well, as you know, Articuno was the protector of this island and our village. And being a village, we didn't have a high birthrate. Articuno came down from the mountain when my mother was giving birth. The first time it had ever interfered with villager life. My sister was first out. She died as she came out of the birth canal. My mom was losing a lot of blood. I came out and I couldn't breathe the air right and my lungs weren't getting air. The local doctor at that time did all he could. They couldn't say my mom. She died within minutes after my birth. Articuno landed near me. It flapped its wings and forced the doctor to put me on the cold ground. It passed a spark of its power to me, so I could live. Those are my healing powers," Aaron explained.
"That's amazing," Tessa said in awe.
"Yeah, but I wish it would have picked my sister or mom before me," Aaron grunted. He obviously had some harsh feelings toward the subject.
"You can't say that. Everything happens for a reason. This battle should have told you that you were destined to live. You are going to help make this world a better place in memory of your mom and sister," Montana lectured, knowing the pain of losing her mother.
"I guess," Aaron sighed.
"This should just provoke you to help stop Team Rocket," Drake said. Aaron nodded. They all talked for a little while and began to get ready for bed.
"We are leaving tomorrow," Drake announced to the group, who now had their own sleeping bags. Aaron, however, was under a blanket. The group was asleep and Tessa and Aaron snuck into the same sleeping bag. Tony woke up and witness the two kiss. He quickly shut his eyes and rolled over, alerting the two teens.
They swiftly got up and walked to the other side of the site. Tony wanted to wake Drake, but decided to wait. He fell back asleep.
Montana was the first to wake up after the good nights rest. She looked around the site, not seeing Tessa and Aaron. "They must have gotten up early," she said to herself as she walked towards the female bathing area. The area was hidden behind thick bushes and trees. Montana pushed her way through the foliage, revealing a nice water spring area. Montana tested the water's temperature, and to her surprise it was quite warm. Not steaming, but it would do.
She pulled off her worn down clothes and folded them. For a thirteen year old she was in good shape. She wasn't skinny, but she wasn't fat or chubby. She was kind of built, but not like a man. She had her own physique about her. She relaxed in the water, letting her nerves settle after the last day's events.
Drake woke up early, which was a surprise. Tony was rolled deeply into his sleeping bag. "I guess watching kids was too much work," he joked. Drake walked to see if anyone was up. He passed sleeping villagers and the common wild Pokemon. Pidgeys roosted on the palm trees. Drake turned to see Montana getting dressed near the female bathing area. She caught him looking, making her think he was a peeping tom. She quickly grabbed her blanket, which she used as a towel, and covered her body.
"What the hell are you doing?" she screamed and cussed, which she rarely did. Drake was in awe. Not by the sight of a female body, but by the fierce scream that Montana let out. The Pidgeys flew off in alert. The scream woke up several of the villagers, and they ran to the source. Drake saw the villagers coming.
"Shut up! I wasn't peeking. I promise, just shut up," Drake whispered as he pulled Montana and himself behind a large rock. The villagers saw nothing and went back to the site. Montana pushed Drake off her, making him roll in the sand. She slapped him across the face.
"I told you. I wasn't peeking!" he yelled. Montana quickly got dressed and stormed off. "Geez, woman," he said as he rubbed his cheek. Drake took the long way out of the bathing area, so people wouldn't think that he was in the female bathing area.
As Drake was walking, he stumbled across two bodies tangled up in a blanket. He fell to the ground. "What was that?" He looked over and saw Tessa's wavy blond hair and neon streaks. She was laying on top of something. Drake crawled closer, seeing a bald head. "Holy! That is Tessa and Aaron! I knew they were doing stuff!" Drake screamed inside his head.
He gathered himself and ran off. "That was close," he huffed as he ran up to the site. Everyone was up. Tony, Kit, and Montana cleaned up the site, getting ready to go. Drake walked over to the village leader. He was a skinny man with graying brown hair. His hair was long, and he had a beard that looked like he had been growing it for one hundred years.
"You think you can take over from here?" Drake asked the man, shaking his hand. The man smiled.
"Yes. I am very sure. We are going to build this village stronger and better than it was," said the man. He waved Drake off. Drake was greeted by random villagers along the way back to his site.
When he returned, he saw Aaron and Tessa talking to the group like they have done nothing wrong. Drake didn't care nor was it any of his business, but he thought they should just come out with it. However, they did not and they continued with daily life.
The group said their goodbyes and Tessa seemed depressed. Her goodbyes were teary-eyed and soft spoken. She acted like she didn't want to go.
"Drake, I think something is wrong with Tessa," Tony said as Kit's Lapras and Gyarados awaited to group. They waved goodbye, but Tessa stopped them. Aaron was standing in the front of the crowd. Tessa looked at the group and her thought to be love: Aaron.
"I want to stay here," she sobbed. She jumped off Lapras and ran to Aaron's arms. He took her and held her passionately.
"Aaron, look after her. Tessa, will you ever come back?" Drake asked. Tessa smiled because Drake agreed.
"Thank you so much, Drake. And yes. I'll fly to Viridian when you get there. Just call me," she answered.
"Thanks, Drake," Aaron said. "I won't let you down again." Drake waved and set sail. They were looking at Seafoam on the horizon and Kit turned to Drake.
"You're letting her go that easy?" Drake asked. The question intrigued Montana and Tony, so they concentrated on their sense of hearing.
"I guess so. She is like a sister to me, but I saw the way she looked at him. I looked at someone like that before. I didn't want her to hurt like I did," Drake explained. Cinnabar was their next stop.
