Chapter 4
ܤܤܤܤܤܤܤܤܤܤܤܤ
The Houndour and the Houndoom growled deep in their throats, circling the group menacingly.
"Shit," Lionel cursed and tried to stand up, but his right leg buckled under his weight and he collapsed to the ground with a muffled thump. Silver nudged him, whining worriedly. Kris was unhurt though, and she was up in a flash.
"Release your water Pokemon!!" Kris shouted as Amethyst closed her eyes and formed a protective bubble of Light Screen around the group. Dawn and Twilight yelped shrilly in terror.
Carol took out 2 Pokeballs and a Seel and a Shellder materialized, while Lionel released Vaporeon.
"Water Gun!!" "Surf!!"
The combined attacks took down four of the Houndour, but more appeared from the shadows of the trees to replace the fallen ones. The Houndoom barked a command, and the Houndour charged forward in a combined Take Down attack. Too late, Amethyst tried to form a bubble of Reflect as well, but it put up a second after the Houndours' attack connected. The group went flying off into the trees, branches poking and prodding them as they fell through...and bounced.
"Must be an aftereffect of the Light Screen and Reflect," Kris remarked wryly as they rubbed their sore spots from crashing around. "I think we lost the Houndour, though."
"I think we were in their territory," Carol said thoughtfully, while plucking leaves out of her hair. Seel. Shellder, and Vaporeon had been returned to their Pokeballs as soon as the Houndour charged forward.
"Obviously," Lionel said grimly, checking if his leg was broken. "It was even marked on the Johto Map card. This is the territory of the infamous Darkflame, who was the Houndoom, and his pack." Silver nuzzled his hurt leg, and he yelped.
"If it was marked on the map, then why were we there?" Carol wondered, and turned to Kris. "Kris?"
Kris flushed in embarrassment. "I-I..."
"She can't read maps, can't you see?" Lionel shouted suddenly. "I followed both of you because I could see that even at first!!"
"Kris, is that true?" Carol asked, shocked. "I never knew."
"Y-Yes," Kris muttered, still red with embarrassment. She stroked Amethyst, who nuzzled her hand comfortingly. Dawn and Twilight still wore expressions of shock from their recent encounter, and were wandering around aimlessly.
"Besides getting us into that mess," Lionel continued, glaring at Kris, "You exposed Dawn and Twilight, who are obviously only very young, to that attack!! I thought you'd know better, Miss Daughter-of-the-Eevee- Professors!!"
"But they just came from the wild!!" Kris said angrily, now red with anger as well. "I thought that they would be more comfortable outside than being confined to a Pokeball, at least until I get to know them better!!"
Lionel's tone softened. "Sometimes it's better in a Pokeball than not in one. Pokeballs are designed for comfortable Pokemon storage, and they don't have to be here for these kind of encounters," he replied.
"I'll ask their opinions first," Kris said stubbornly. She crouched down next to Dawn and Twilight.
Lionel watched them from his position on the ground. He had just concluded that his leg was broken, and Silver agreed. The blue-ringed Umbreon had just trotted off to find a Caterpie, which produced the best bandage in the wild with their String Shot. He beckoned to Carol, who walked over.
"Why aren't they speaking?" Lionel gestured to Kris, Dawn, and Twilight, who were staring intently into one another's eyes.
"Oh, Kris can speak to Eevees and Eons mind-to-mind." Carol said, shrugging. "I guess it comes from being with them so much."
"Ah," Lionel tried to conceal his amazement. Even at the best of times, he couldn't communicate with Silver like that. The extent of their communication stopped at understanding each other's body language and looks.
Finally, Kris stood up and took out two empty Pokeballs. She placed them on the ground, and Dawn and Twilight went over and nudged the buttons with their noses. The crimson light enveloped them, and the Pokeballs shook a bit before settling down with a 'ping!' Kris scooped them up, brought them close to her face and closed her eyes. After a minute or so, she minimized them and attached them to her belt.
"Done," Kris said, patting her two new Pokeballs. "They say that they're comfortable."
"Good for them," Lionel said, gritting his teeth. His leg had been swelling steadily. Just then, Silver trotted back, holding a struggling Caterpie in his teeth. "Good work," he praised Silver, who looked proud. Lionel threw a Pokeball at the terrified Caterpie, who was sucked into the ball and captured in no time. He called it out again, and commanded the Caterpie to use String Shot on his leg. Caterpie nodded, and wound the sticky thread tightly around the broken limb. After the 'bandage' was nice and thick, Lionel patted the Caterpie on the head. "Nice work," he complimented. "Thanks. You can go now." Silver translated, and the Caterpie hurried off without a backward glance.
Kris and Carol hurried over and took an arm each, pulling Lionel up. He grunted, but his leg could support his weight with not much problem. Gingerly, he shook himself free of their supporting arms and started to hobble through the trees.
"Hey, where are you going?" Carol and Kris called in unison.
"Don't you want to get to Goldenrod?" he growled, wincing as he accidentally jarred his injured leg on a stone. Silver made a worried sound, looking up into Lionel's face. "I'm okay," he told Silver. "Are you people coming or not?"
Kris, Carol, and Amethyst hurried over, and followed him silently, not complaining about the slow pace. Kris had been about to suggest that Amethyst Teleport them in small hops to Goldenrod, but remembered the extent of Amethyst's Teleporting prowess. Amethyst, reading Kris's mind, shot a reproachful look at her mistress, and trotted forward to accompany Silver and Lionel, pointedly ignoring her.
Suddenly, a pack of Houndour burst out of the trees, led by a familiar- looking Houndoom.
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
So, what's happening? Suicune's silent tracking was interrupted by Raikou's lazy drawl.
Shut up!! Suicune hissed back. Keep it down, will you? An Espeon's traveling with them. If we communicate like this, Amethyst could pick up on us!!
Amethyst? Entei joined their 'conversation'.
The Espeon, you blockhead.
Oh. So, what happened so far?
They were attacked by Darkflame's pack some time ago and I nearly interfered, Lionel got hurt, but he's all bandaged up by Caterpie String Shot now, and they're presently walking.
Oh. Okay then. We'll check back in an hour. We're close to you, near a spring. We're having lunch.
Okay...OW!! Suicune smashed headfirst into a tree.
What happened?
I hate walking and talking like this at the time!! She complained. It makes me pay less attention to the surroundings!! I just smashed into a tree, thanks to you idiots.
'Hearing' them laugh, she shut down her connection and concentrated on following the second Chosen One and her companions. With some shock, she realized that they were being attacked by Darkflame's pack again...
Cliffhanger!! Will Suicune interfere this time? How will they get out now? Sigh. I'm under pressure from Lccorp2!! *glare* So this is a little haphazard. Hopefully I'll be able to post another chapter up tomorrow. Whoa!! Lc's brain just exploded!! O.O
