#2, A Construction Site or... First Sight
"I'm sure it'd be fine," piped up Kite, "There isn't anyone around and it's nearly dark. Anyway if we keep on going like we are at the moment it's going to be way past nightfall before we get to the Center."
"Oh fine, it would be nicer to get there quicker, my feet are starting to kill already."
"Oh come on, we haven't even been walking for over half an hour yet, stop whining Dew."
I shot Angela a look before waving my hands about a bit then just stepping forth into the construction site, "Well you two coming or what?"
Rolling her eyes Angela quickly caught up to me leaving Kite to make his own way behind us. The sound of quiet footfalls said he was following, not like as if he wouldn't or anything. It was fairly quiet and we all seemed to stop saying anything and just listened to the air around us as it moved around the various pieces of machinery and unfinished buildings. Looking about the place, the construction site didn't seem to of had anything done to it for some time by the look of the machinery covered in layers of dirt and a few signs of graffiti on some of the finished walls. Wonder why they stopped, was the only thought on my mind at the moment when Kite called out for the second time from behind us.
"Wha-!" I was cut short as he rushed me from behind as I turned to yell at him and he placed a hand over my mouth. Swatting his hand away I was about to start giving him an earful when he placed a finger to his mouth and went "Shh."
"What shhh?"
"I heard something."
"You always hear something, it's usually nothing more than a rattata or pidgey looking for food or something."
"No, no, it was something else, I'm sure of it."
As we both went quiet I heard it too. Some sort of talking and a couple of broken shouts.
"What are you two going on about? I can't hear nothing," Angela broke the silence.
"Shhh," was the automatic sound from both Kite and I.
"There's someone talking nearby. Just listen."
"I still can't hear nothing..."
"Just shut up and listen Angela."
"Oh fine."
Suddenly there was a loud shout from our left and we all looked in the direction. There were a few flashes of bright yellow light like short electrical charges and some screams of pain. Wondering what was going on I went to move forwards and closer to the area just to be grabbed by Kite and dragged away to the side. "Don't let them see you," he whispered. "Who?"
"I don't know who, just don't, come on Angela, get down," he continued in a harsh whisper as we all bobbed down behind a pile of pipes that were obviously for some sort of water main type of thing that was meant to be put down somewhere within the site.
More flashes of bright yellow light and I looked back in its direction, suddenly more points of light grew but these weren't the sparking type, these were flashlights. They danced over the ground, mostly coming from the direction of a large part of a structure that seemed to have been mostly completed. The lights swept over the area where the sparks had been coming from, obviously looking for what ever it was that had set them off.
A flash of yellow fur got caught in the edge of a beam and suddenly all of the flashlights were directed to the one spot where a small figure was crouching. More shouts and a group of black clad men ran out of the building carrying both flashlights and firearms.
"Uh, I think we've gone the wrong way here..." I muttered. "Yeah, I'd have to agree," replied Angela beside me. "Shhh," Kite hissed and we all fell quiet again to watch to see what happened.
As the group of men moved around the thing we heard yet more shouts but nothing was distinguishable for us to understand so all we could do was watch. A scream of pain got me nearly standing again as one of the black dressed people fell backwards away from the group twitching as he landed.
"Wha..?" My eyes went wide as I finally got a look of what it was that the men were surrounding. A gasp from beside me and the shuffle of stones underfoot told me that the other two had seen it as well. It can't have been more than a few seconds that initial first look at one of them, as the men moved in to fill up the gap within moments still shouting at each other and the thing they were surrounding. But we had all seen it well and truly in that short amount of space and time.
"Did you just see that?" Angela whispered.
"Maybe it wasn't that, maybe it was just uh... maybe..."
"Don't kid yourself Dew," Kite buttered in. "I know those stories we heard had some basis, I knew they couldn't just be rumour." He exclaimed excitedly in a hushed whisper, "I just knew it."
I tore my gaze away from the group of men to look at Kite, "What? What have you heard?"
"Oh come on Dew, you have to of heard the rumours as well," he muttered as he looked to me, "You know the ones of Team Rocket or some other organisation stealing Pokemon and kidnapping trainers to do splicing experiments on or something along those lines." I just stared at him blankly then, "Those... those are just rumours..." He shook his head and turned back to the men, "Yeah... whatever you want to think Dew."
Looking back to the group again a large flash of yellow electrical light lit up the whole area. We all had to shield our eyes to the light and look away for the moment or probably would have been blinded for a decent amount of time. Trying to rid myself of the swirling white lights in my vision by blinking as fast as I possibly could I looked back to the group of men to find most of them lying unconscious upon the ground around a yellow glowing form.
The figure was more than visible now. The yellow glow definitely helped in displaying it to the world around us. I couldn't really tell at that point in time how tall it was but later saw it was around 5''4' or so as it stood. White hair sat dead straight to its shoulders with a lot of it covering over its face. It was neither distinguishable to be male or female as the clothes that were covering it were way overly baggy, with cargo pants probably four sizes too large and a white parka another two sizes larger than that. The hood was blown back to expose an exhausted face and its whole body was heaving with laboured breaths underneath its baggy clothes. At the time I thought it was blushing because it's cheeks were bright red, though a little too perfectly rounded.
Weird fact number one about it.
It was glowing with the yellow light, and from the loud crackling we could all hear in the air from its direction it seemed it was with static electricity. Like when an electrical pokemon release a high powered discharge of electrical energy in one of its attacks and is left with a highly charged atmosphere around it that continues to crackle with unused electrical particles.
Weird fact number two.
It wasn't just glowing, it was actually yellow itself. And from the looks of it, it wasn't skin it was fur that covered over the whole form as it moved around in the highly charged air as it didn't just sit still. It obviously wasn't twitching and that was why its skin would be moving because the whole part of the body didn't move and in a spasm like manner, more like a wave.
Weird fact three.
It had a zig zaggy thing sticking out behind it that started off brown but ended in a mostly yellow colour with the very end part just leaning itself upon the ground.
Weird fact four.
The last thing that I noticed as it only just came into view as it stuck them up at the time. It had two long slim line ears with black tips that stuck out the top of its head among its white hair. With no visible ears to the side of its head either.
"I'm sure it'd be fine," piped up Kite, "There isn't anyone around and it's nearly dark. Anyway if we keep on going like we are at the moment it's going to be way past nightfall before we get to the Center."
