Chapter 5: Strange Pokemon/Strange People
Cara woke up the next morning on the top of a bunk bed. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. Then she threw off her covers and climbed down. Kate and Amanda were still sleeping. Cara was amazed at how innocent they could look. Bill was sleeping in the bunk below hers.
Cara stretched and smiled wickedly, then without warning "GET UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed loud enough to wake everyone in the hotel. They all woke up immediately and started looking this way and that trying to find out what had happened. "GEEZ" Bill said as he leapt out of bed he looked around wide-eyed. He was wearing boxer shorts. "Do you always have to be so strange?" he asked Cara. "Yes, now put some clothes on boy we're going to Cerulean." Amanda and Kate weren't looking too happy with their early awakening.
They met up with the rest of their party and then left Pewter. The path was straight flat and boring. It went through a forest and there was nothing to look at but tree after tree.
After they had been walking for three hours or so in silence Kate pointed at something. "What's that?" Cara looked over. A small brown creature that looked like a guinea pig sat in the path in front of them casually sunning itself. It had two white diamonds on it. One on it's back and one on it's head.
"Wow" said Morgan. "What the hell is it?" Amanda demanded to know. "I have no clue," answered Morgan. "I'm gonna catch it!" yelled Cara. However everyone else must have had the same idea because as she threw a pokeball so did everyone else. She watched horrified as it went into the purple masterball that Jill threw. But just then, a miracle occurred. It escaped.
The pokemon shock itself off and then proceeded to run over to Cara climb up her leg and leap into her backpack. Cara took off her backpack to look inside. The pokemon was nibbling on a packet of sugar that Cara had taken from the hotel.
Cara clicked her pokedex to it. "Huzzlewuzzle is an extinct pokemon. Its diet consists mainly of sugar or other high-energy substances. All this energy cannot fit into a pokeball so the huzzlewuzzle is the only known pokemon unable to be contained even at will. After evolving into the powerful wishbone it is not known what if anything it evolves into."
"That's awesome" Cara said. Everyone stopped and admired Huzzlewuzzle. "So" said Paul "I guess that means that you don't OWN him." "Yea, he's still officially wild," said Katie.
They eventually continued their hike. Hours passed with Cara limping shortly behind them.
That evening they came to an intersection and Cara heard coming down the other path Sophie's high-pitched voice talking about lower class society. When she noticed Cara she remarked "…and speaking of lower class society…." Cara put her fists up and swung around. The rest of the group was further ahead and didn't notice any of this.
"Go Pearo" Sophie shouted. Out of her pokeball appeared a huge gold bird with icicles hanging from its wings. "What's that?" asked Cara clicking open her Pokedex "Biogenetic Mutation" was all it said. "NO" shouted Cara "I meant Pearo not Sophie. Cara laughed at her own joke. "Go Pik…." but before Cara could send out Pikachu. Huzzlewuzzle leapt out from Cara's bag.
As Sophie clicked open her pokedex Huzzlewuzzle began to glow. Cara held her breath. It was evolving! The diamond on its head became a horn and the one on it's back became a wishbone. It was now bigger and stood on two legs with long sharp teeth.
Without command Wishbone tackled Pearo. "Pearo Ice beam!" called Sophie. Wishbone just used agility and dodged the attack. It then hurled the wishbone on it's back at Pearo, knocking it out. Wishbone began to glow and Pearo flinched. "Wishbone is using dream eater," Cara thought out loud. Sophie called Pearo back. Sophie didn't take her loss so coolly. She tackled Cara. Cara punched Sophie HARD. Sophie squealed as her nose broke. She hit Cara in the eye. Suddenly the rest of Cara's party showed up and Sophie thought it best to leave. "Have fun in Cerulean" she said coldly and then turned and ran. Chrissy racing behind her.
"Have fun in Cerulean?" Paul repeated. "What do you think she meant by that?" Cara rolled her eyes. "She probably is just implying that I'm gonna lose tomorrow." "Either way," said Bill. "I have a bad feeling. Lets stay here for the night."
