Chapter 5- The Union (Hawk's POV)
Standing in line, I stared at everyone else, in line as well everyone else. My sister, Rachel can be really serious and harsh once something arises. She was going to train us in using our new powers. I made sure to pay attention. "Now, you will all be put into matching groups with the same elements except for a select few." Rachel stated. A glance from her is quickly directed my way, making me flinch slightly as there was such determination in those eyes.
"Hawk! You take Tom and Gary to a spot, I will be with you three shortly." Rachel orders me. "Don't boss me around…" I mutter back at her. Giving me a reproachful glance Rachel continues. If I keep this up maybe she'll go nuts? Heh, that's always fun to watch. So on and on Rachel goes, directing everyone into little group, why can't I ever be in charge? Why was I born last?!
"Ok, now. Gary, stand on the left, and erm, Tom, on the right." I directed them, they both filed into the places I directed, fearing me because of my sister. "Now, concentrate on what you want to do and that is basically it…..I don't know why she is splitting us into groups….." Just then, Rachel's voice sounded over all the commotion.
"Good, now that you all have the hang of it and know all who share your elements, Ashley and I made a strategy of what to do now. Line up again and I will assign your new groups that we will officially use. Ashley? Would you like the honors?" Perplexed I looked towards my sisters, lastly at Rachel who was standing quite close to Tom. Ashley pulled out a paper, which I tried to see what was written on it but no avail.
"In group 1, we have…" Ashley abruptly stops, eyes gazing to her left. I turn my head in that direction as well my eyes meeting up with a few adults and a girl. As soon as they come, the adults suddenly change into kids. In shock my eyes widen. "H-how did you guys do that?" I stutter. The girl who was a girl to start with answers up, "Uh….well….I'm Angelica, these are my friends, Kara, Elijah, Oria, and Aledia. We…. uh….. were told to join you guys by a voice from the forest…. kinda weird…….."
I looked around at everyone, they were just staring, so I decided to speak up. "And by joining us what are you going to do?" I questioned them as a group. Then another of the girls answered, "Well, My name is Aledia. We are supposed to split into little groups, based on our elements, some people will have to be put with their weaknesses though. We made a little chart of which elements we'd put together."
Angelica grabs the list reading aloud, "Group 1 consists of Rachel, Tom, me, Falcon and Kara. Elements are 2 alls, fire, flying and dragon. Group 2 is Hawk, Garrett, Shadow, Dice and Ali. Elements are All, psychic, ghost, dragon and steel." Aledia takes the list back, "Group 3 contains Gary, Samantha, Angel and Robert. Elements are All, Ice, Plant, and psychic. Group 4 has Ashley, Kevan, Lizze, and me. Elements are transform, electric, ice and psychic. Group 5 is made up of Viper, Bluu, Oria, Elijah, and Nicole. Elements are fire, water, ice, rock and dark. Last but not least, is group 6 with Michelle, Daniella, Anne and Orion. Elements are fire, electric, ground and ghost. Now, get to know each other."
I ran up to Rachel who talking in a low tone to Ashley. "How do we know that this isn't a trick?" They both stopped talking. Ashley turned to me, placing a hand on my shoulder, "That's what we were thinking about. They don't really seem serious, but I guess we'll go along with it and besides, don't worry, you'll be with Garrett." Just then I turned and walked away, hoping that they wouldn't see me blushing profusely.
"So….." I said when I reached the my group, "I guess we'll be hanging out together…hi…" They all nodded, looking around at each person in the group. "By the way, what are we supposed to do now?" Ali asked. Shadow sat down, scratching the back of his head. I looked closer, he wasn't a shadow anymore, and there was now a cloak around him. "You ok?" I asked. "Better, thank you." He takes his cloak off, wiping the sweat off with an arm. "Glad that's over…"
All attention was turned toward Angelica as she cleared her throat. Expectantly, I turned as well. "Now that we are all acquainted, here is the deal. The Pokemon League is under attack by a mysterious stranger, who calls himself 'Pokolian'. What you all are doing is to attack from all sides. This stranger has the found a way to influence the past, as he is doing right now, and is currently traveling back in time and poisoning the league. It has already started and will be complete by tomorrow. It will also affect some pokemon. I have maps for your groups of the different routes you should take. Come here to get yours."
I walked over a grabbed a map. As I walked back over to my group, I examined the map, it was moving. Someone must have cast a spell for it to do that. "Looks like we get the Antarctica base first, before we meet everyone at the main site. We are starting the place near the south Atlantic ocean." Garrett said, glancing at the map. I nodded, ready to get started. "Teleport us there, Garrett." Dice said also ready to go. Ali nodded her head energetically, "Lets go already!!"
We all put a hand on Garrett, I grabbed on right away. "Get ready." Suddenly, I had a feeling like I was flying. As I opened my eyes, it was like we were moving quickly over a large expanse of earth. My feet hit the ground as we stopped. In a few minutes, I felt the biting cold of the continent. Everyone else was shivering.
Quickly, I summoned a dome of see-through fire around us. I stared at the bleak surroundings. "So…." Dice began, "There are hardly any towns on this continent? I know it was just made into a place to live, but……. " Shadow looked at the map, "By the looks of this, no. If we head towards the South Pole we'll make it." He fastened his cloak around him. "Looks like a long way to travel…" I uttered, gazing at the snow covered land.
Standing in line, I stared at everyone else, in line as well everyone else. My sister, Rachel can be really serious and harsh once something arises. She was going to train us in using our new powers.
