S.K stops as he reaches the top of the grassy knoll. The flame trail ends there and having reached the top of the knoll, the flame enters back into Sam's mark.
"Great! Now, what do we do?" Sam asks wonderingly.
In the distance, Sam can see the North Kanto Mountain Range and now, being so close to her goal, she can feel the urgency of getting there quickly. Estimating the distance, she concludes that they'll have to ride at least for an hour or two more.
"I think you should rest first, S.K."
"Rewerff!" barks S.K, protesting and starts to run again.
"If you insist..." sighs Sam.
Actually, she is very proud of S.K rising to the challenge.
Suddenly, Sam feels a sting from her mark again.
"What now?" she asks as she looks at ther mark.
The mark is now a brownish colour, the colour of the earth. The brown seem to swirl as if it were alive and then, it shone bright and turns to a shiny silver gray. The gray swirls as well, shines bright and dissipates.
"I wonder what that was all WAH!"
The ground beneath them starts to shake and cracks and chasms start to appear. A deep roaring from beneath the ground is heard. Sam and S.K feel the ground beneath them start to rise. Looking down, Sam gasps.
"CHEE-ROGG!" roars the mighty Steelix as it rises up from the ground.
Sam and S.K are right on its head.
S.K struggles to keep hold on the Steelix's head. The Steelix rises till almost half of its body is above ground. It then made its head level and S.K can keep a firm hold on its head.
Sam doesn't know whether to attack or not. S.K growls a bit but doesn't make any move to attack or get off.
Are you the summoner?
"Huh!" exclaims Sam in surprise.
Do not be alarmed. I ask again, are you the summoner?
Sam notices the Steelix's eyes looking back towards her and realises that it is it that is speaking. She takes a deep breath and answers,"Ye...yes...I am the summoner or at least one of the family."
Good! Hold on, then!
"S.K, get ready." Sam tells S.K.
She needn't have to worry, S.K can understand the Steelix as well.
"CHEE-ROG!" roars the Steelix again as it lunges forward.
"WOAH!"
The speed of the Steelix is incredible. The lower part of it that is still under or slightly above the ground are spinning furiously, pushing it forward and leaving large ditches in its wake. The Steelix is heading towards the Mountain Range.
"We'll get there in no time now!" shouts Sam, laying herself flat on S.K backs so that she won't get blown off.
S.K is also laying flat on the Steelix's head and cannot answer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOM!
"WAH!" shouts Ash in surprise, nearly spilling his bowl of noodles.
"Don't worry. It's just the police trying to break through the barrier the Psychic Pokemon have put up." reassures Professor Oak.
(Note: This is in the afternoon. The previous chapter was in the morning.)
"Psychic barrier?" asks Ash.
"Oh! I forgot to tell you. The Pokemon at the fringe of the forest seem to want to prevent any human to get through to them. All the Psychic Pokemon or Pokemon with the Barrier technique have created a Barrier dome that is stopping the police from getting in. The police are using all sorts of bombs and things but I don't think it'll work. Psychic powers cannot be overcomed by physical force so easily."
"Oh..."
"Professor Oak!"
"Yes?" asks Oak as he turns to face (one of the) Officer Jenny(s).
"Calls...calls...calls from the coastline! They...they...say Lugia and the Legendary Birds are awake and flying our way!" gasps Officer Jenny, trying to catch her breath.
"What?" exclaims Professor Oak in shock.
Another Officer Jenny runs into the tent.
"Professor! Gym leader Morty of Eruteak City has called! He says that Ho-oh and the Legendary Dogs are awake and running/flying this way!"
"Yes...yes...we know that alWHAT?" shouts Oak, even more shocked than before.
"HO-OH AND THE LEGENDARY DOGS AS WELL!?"
"This is very bad!"
"Why is that, Professor?" asks Ash.
"Something very bad is happening. So bad that both Lugia and Ho-oh and the Legendary Birds and Dogs are coming this way!"
"Ho-oh? Legendary Dogs?"(Note: In this fic, Ash has not been to Johto.)
"Yes. They are Legendary Pokemon similar to Lugia and the Legendary Birds. Something very grave has upset them and this is very serious indeed!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are almost there! the Steelix tells Sam.
"Chee-ragg!"
"Reroaww!"
"Squawk!"
"What was that?" exclaims Sam.
'Do not be alarmed, summoner.'
Sam turns herself around and breathes a gasp of surprise. Right behind her, flying and running, are Lugia, Ho-oh and the Legendary Dogs and Birds.
The Legends are flying and running around the Steelix, as if to protect it. The Legendary Dogs run alongside the Steelix, the Legendary Birds are flying above it and Lugia on the right while Ho-oh is on the left of it.
"I can't believe it!" Sam exclaims.
'Do not be surprised.' Lugia "tells" Sam.
'You are very important now and we must make sure you arrive at your destination. We are also needed but nonetheless, you are far more needed than any other now.'
Sam didn't say anything except,"What's that Slowking doing on your back?"
'Oh, him? He is a good friend.'
Slowking looks more like a sick friend. His entire face is green and he looks like he's about to puke.
"Great! Now, what do we do?" Sam asks wonderingly.
In the distance, Sam can see the North Kanto Mountain Range and now, being so close to her goal, she can feel the urgency of getting there quickly. Estimating the distance, she concludes that they'll have to ride at least for an hour or two more.
