CHAPTER 12: Unexpected Event
K. and Kiou had decided to go to Ecrteak, not just to follow Suicune, but Kiou said that's were the trouble brewed: That's were Ho-Oh was caught, and Ho-Oh wasn't ever to be caught, for it could destroy earth. This is what Suicune feared, and sensed, but had failed to stop.
"The Pokegear map says we take a turn at Sudowoodo Cut----" K. began. "Sudowoodo Cut" was the junction where a tough Cool-trainer boy named Marco caught Sudowoodo. Lucky Marco, thought K.
"Then were?" asked Kiou. "Then, we cut through the Route ahead of it, and then zzttt! We are there!" K. exclaimed, happily. K was caring her Cubone, who was a tad bit heavy, but McCoy did save K.'s life.
A few hours before dawn, the two Pokemon Trainers were there. Ecrteak!
Kiou looked at a small burned building. "Looks like it was just on fire. See all the black rubble? A Burn mark, leftovers, for us to look in awe at-To remember what was, was." Kiou said, trying to impress K. with his great poetic side. K. giggles, then sighed.
There were odd, two toed Mon tracks on the ground. Near the Burnt Tower, there was a huge three-towed imprint, followed by another bloated foot-er, paw, imprint. Kiou spoke up-"Hey, K.! Swap out your Dexter!" He said. "My what?!" said a confused K. "Oh, you mean my Pokedex!! Sure-why?" "Because a Dex shows what Pokemon make what prints, and those are not human tracks. I think those small ones are Suicune's!" a triumphant Kiou blurted, a little to loud for the dreaming city. A light in a house flickered on. Oh no, he's woken up someone. BUT, maybe the person can help with the Great Pokemon Army? Thought K. Sure enough, a dark-skinned man appeared. He had long, dirt-blonde dreadlocks for his hair. And by him was a Houndoom, a mean, evil dark type Pokemon dog. Houndoom had a demons-tail, bones protruding from it's back, a skull imbedded in it's chest--- and devil horns. At least a foot long, the white ivory shone, but not as bright as the red eyes that they dog had.
"Cerberus, show them to me." The dog lead the man by a halter attached to its body. The man held to it. The man was blind, and the Houndoom was his guard dog!
"Hang on, Shug." Said a rough voice. It was feminine, but still very harsh-like a waterfall full of glass falling on to spiny rocks below.
K. stood still, but Kiou got out a Speedball. Emerged from the ball was a newly evolved Kadabra, and it held it's' spoon tight, and began to chant in a foreign Mon language: "Charbadberra! Charbadberra!" "No, don't attack, Kiou! The poor man can't see!" shouted K., slowly putting down McCoy. "But he has some demon dog, K.! We have to protect ourselves!" "But only if it's a battle, and you did shout rather loud! Tis your fault the poor man is awake-----" defended K. "Hey-ey, calm down, two. You heart my sensitive ears. Ol' Master juz' wan' know who you are, and why you are a-shoutin; round like Farfecth'd with their heads cut off!" It seemed to be coming from the dog, that voice. But Mon can't talk-can they?
McCoy approached the Houndoom, sniffed it, and banged it on its horns with the bone McCoy held in its hand. "Hey, shug! Don't do that again-I am strong, ye know. I don' wan' Crunch you-but----" McCoy looked up and cried. "Cu, Cu, Bone cuu! Cubone! Bone1 Own!" It said. "Cerberus's" eyes glowed more powerful, then turned a jungle green haze.
"Masta! The Pokemon apologizes for the noise the bunch have made, but its owner and boyfriend------" K. began to say, "He is NOT my boyfriend! He's a boy, and he's my RIVAL and he-" but was stopped when Cerberus bared its teeth.
"Anywho, the two Trainers are trying to stop a war with the Rocket gang, and they need to find a 'Suicune' who they think is in the Left Tower." The man then spoke afterwards, for the first time, his clouded, marble-like brown eyes staring at nothing. "The tower burned, babe. Tell em to come ere, I got something that might help them." K. and Kiou approached the man, who led them into his house.
********
"Yup. I was a fire fighter in that building when Ho-Oh was captured. A piece of ash fell into my eyes. Ate out the core of my pupils, strait out. Painful has hell-oh, pardon me. I wanted to go back there someday if it weren't for my new handicap. I was gonna look for hidden items with my Item Finder. It points out hidden objects---TM's, rare candy, X special's, like X defense. Sad thing is, the Item finder pinpoints objects, but doesn't give off their location. Don't think I should go back though. I fear that place.
"Cerberus, fetch me the Item finder, will ya, lassie?"
The dog obeyed. After a few second, the Houndoom returned holding a metal detector like object, holding it like a bone. It spat it at Kiou's feet.
"So, what's an adventure without some treasure hunting? This is yours, you two. Boy trainer who I not know the name of, its' yours. You sound so fearless. Nothing can hold you back. Your power is overwhelming. But girl, don't think I forgot you! Here. Cerberus is yours. She's a guard dog. All lassie's need a guardian. Your so fragile, so---innocent. Don't worry, today dream demon Grim comes home from the breeding center-er, the Day Care, that is," the old man blushed and chuckled. "Now Cerberus, don't worry about me. You were destined to be with the Camps! I could never train you. Please take care of my good, talking friend." Cerberus's eyes were dancing with glee as she stepped towards K. "Thank you, sir!" K. said. "How did she learn to talk?" "Oh, she was taught by me. A long time ago, I also taught a Meowth how to speak Human. I never learned what became of him. Bless his soul wherever he is, Meowth.
"Now, take yourselves out and go towards the tower. The gods might be awaiting you there." The two Trainers did. K. tried to get Cerberus into a Ball, but she refused. Then, in it's Mississippian accent said, "I'm very claustrophobic. I won't go in there, Shug. Thanks an'way!" So Kiou, K., and her new companion headed to Left Tower, Burned. The adventure was only beginning.
