Chapter XIV- Pokemon Tower

As we approched the Tower, it seemed to get darker and darker outside. I looked
at Raichu who was walking beside me and he was shaking. I picked him up and stroked
his ears, but nothing seemed to help him.
"Do you want to go inside your pokeball?" I asked him. He imeadiatly looked up at me
with tear-filled eyes and shook his head 'no'. "All right. If you want to later, just tell me.
Besides, there isn't anything to be afraid of. I won't let anything hurt my friends." I put
him back down on the ground and placed my hand on his head. He stopped shaking to
look up at me. I could tell he felt better, knowing that someone was there to watch his
back.
"How are you doing Charizard?" I could hear Erika beside me, talking to Charizard, and I
looked up, taking my hand off of Raichu's head.
"Charizard?" I looked at him. He was a stiff as a board, a streak of blue flying across his
face. I could tell he was holding in his fear, he swallowed hard and gave a wink to Erika.
He was to scared to speak.
"Ready?" I said finally and looked to Erika. Erika shook her head and we walked together
into the dark and decayed corridor-like entrance. We wandered for a while, up and down
stair wells and rooms, walking around broken shanaliers, holes in the floors, and the
occasional sofa.
"Did you hear that?" I said suddenly out of the noisless room. Erika who was in the other
room next to me turned around.
"Hear what?"
"That..." I quieted so I could listen for it again. There was a dim shriek among the
squeaking and cracking of the wood. It caused all the little hairs on the back of my neck
to stand on end.
"What was that?" Erika said and began to make her way back into the room I was in. It
suddenly got louder, maybe even closer, and Raichu jumped up into my arms.
"Raichu, what is it?" The shriek occured again, this time much louder, which definetly
meant closer. Charizard banged his feet on the floor, trying to scar it away, but that only
made it worse. It, what-ever it was, came closer to hear what was causing the noise.
"Erika!" I yelled, "Tell him to stop quick!!!"
"Charizard, knock it off!" But he wouldn't listen, he was to scared and he began to shake.
Erika moved closer to him and the floor squeaked loudly.
"Erika!!!" Sudennly the floor crakced wide open and Charizard and Erika were tumbling
down a hole. I ran over and lean over the edge of the hole, just in time to grab Erika's
hand.
"Marcy!!! DON'T LET GO!!!" I could hear Erika yelling over the loud noise of the wood
falling and Charizard hitting the basement floor. There was still light from his flame, but
it was stedily dying down.
"Ah..." I gasped and tried to hold on, but I wasn't strong enough. "I said I would look after
my friends, that especially was meant for you. AH!!" I felt my arm being pulled down,
and my grip losened. I began to breathe hard, and my eyes filled with tears. "I CAN'T
HOLD ON!! I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH!"
"Then let go." She said calmly.
"I can't..." I said as my eyes flew open at what she had just said.
"There's a ledge over there, if you start to swing me, I can jump on to it."
"It's wood though, won't it break?" The shriek came again and tears fell down my face as I
began to turn blue from fear and the effort of holding onto Erika.
"It's better than killing yourself trying to pull me up." She looked up at me and grabbed
onto me with her other hand.
"Please...be careful." I said as I began to swing her back and forth.
"Just a little more!" She yelled, "All right, on three, let go! And Promise!"
"I Promise, but only...AHH!" I felt something in my arm stretch to far.
"You ok?"
"Fine!" The pain in my arm was bothering me; I yelled, "Erika, just promise me you'll be
ok!"
"What?! Of Course."
"I pulled a mussel, I have to drop you NOW!" I losened my grip and as she swung
underneath me I let go, praying she would land on her feet. I didn't her a scream, but a
large thud.
"Are you...ok?" I gasped because I was so tired. "ERIKA!! ANSWER ME?!" No...I never
should have let go... Millions of emotions flooded my head, pain, sadness, fear, all in the
darkness of the room.
"Marcy!" I could hear her shouting below me.
"Erika! Oh! I was so...worried."
"I'm ok. My ankle hurts a little, but I can still walk. I'm going to go find some stairs down
to where Charizard is ok? Marcy?" She could hear me gasping above her. "Are you ok?"
"Just tired. I'll...sit here. When, I can get up...again, I'll look for some stairs. I'll...be ok."
"I'll be back!" I could hear her walk off underneath me on the first floor. I layed there for
a few minutes not moving, so I could rest and get my strength up.
"Erika! Wait!" I yelled out not sure if she was to far away or not.
"I'm over here!" I could hear her yell farther down the downstairs hall.
"Take White Blaze!" I sat up and took out White Blazes' Pokeball.
"But Marcy?! Who will you use?" I could hear her walking back and another squeak in
the floor.
"Stay there! I'll throw her pokeball down to you! Don't worry about me, Gyrados can see
better in the dark than any of us can!" I heard Raichu walk off behind me and I figured he
found something interesting.
"Go White Blaze!" I took her pokeball and was about to throw it when Raichu returned
with a candle stick in his mouth.
"Raichu...Rai!" *I found something!*
"Great job Raichu!" I called White Blaze out and had her light the candle thta Raichu
found, then I yelled, "Erika! White Blaze is coming down!" And she walked around to the
other side of the hole, jumping down onto the floor Erika was on.
"I got her!" I heard Erika yell up.
"White Blaze! Do everything Erika tells you to do, ok!?"
"Nine!" *Ok!:)*
"See ya soon Erika!"
We walked up and down through the house, Raichu and me, with the candle
White Blaze lit, dying down. When I finally found the stair well back down to the first
floor, I heard the loud shriek very close to us, and Raichu tried to jump up into my arms,
but I put my hand on his head to stop him, because my arm hurt to much. With my free
hand, I grabbed a pokeball, I wasn't sure which one it was though, because it was to dark.
"Go pokeball!" I yelled and threw it onto the wood floor. It opened to reveal my Leafeon.
"Leaf leaf!" *Marcy!* All of a sudden we could hear the shriek again, this time, closer to
where Erika was.
"I need you to help us find our way down the stairs so we don't trip." I said and put my
hand on his back, just as the candle flickered out.
"Leaf!' *ok!* He began to walk down the stairs ahead of us, warning us of any lose peices
of wood, or broken stairs. When we made it down stairs I called her back into him
pokeball and we began to search for Erika.
"Erika!" We both called out to Erika.
"ChuChu!ChuChu!?" *Erika! Erika!?* He sudennly spotted something up ahead.
"Raichu!" I heard Erika yell from across the room. "Are you guys ok?" White Blaze ran
over to me, and rubbed my leg a little, before I called her back into her pokeball.
"We're fine, how about you?"
"I think I found what was causing the loud shrieks it was..." But before she had the
chance to finish, another loud shriek rang through the house, but this time it was so close,
it felt like there was something breathing down my neck.
"Ah....Marcy...?" Erika suddenly turned blue and raised her hand to point behind me. As
she did, I turned blue as well and didn't dare to turn around. I slowly moved my foot, as I
felt another breathe down my neck, I swept around quick, and, where I was standing,
there was an odd looking cloud of purple mist, but there seemed to be some red twords
the middle.
"What? What...is it?" As we both watched in horror, Raichu, to petrified to move, stared,
almost as if in pain, at the dematerializing creature. There soon appeared a round purple
body, large closed eyes, and a tiny mouth. All underneath it's eyes was a redish color
blended into the purple. Then, I realized it,
"It, it...tried to kiss me?!" Erika flew around and her jaw dropped,
"WHAT?!! A GASTLY?!!"
"Look at it," My eyes lowered, and the blue in my face turned slightly red. "He likes
me.^o^()"
"Well, then, I'll capture it!" Erika said, and the Gastly suddenly opened it's eyes and
looked up. The red vanished and his eyes glared.
"Go Kadabra!" Erika shouted and threw out his pokeball. "You wanna fight? :^)"
"Gastly!" *For her!* He said and vanished.
"Kadabra! Use your reflect!" Kadabra raised it's right arm and created an invisable force
field around itself. Suddenly, something rammed into the force field, causing it to flash,
then it disapeared again.
"Kadabra! Drop the Reflect, find that Gastly with your psywave!" Erika shouted and
watched to see if she could find it. Suddenly I saw a flash of purple shoot behind
Kadabra,
"Kadabra, behind YOU!" I shouted, but it was to late, Gastly had tackled Kadabra.
Kadabra fell down to the ground, causing it to stop the Psywave.
"Grrrr....Kadabra, Teleport and disable!" Kadabra suddenly vanished, and only Gastly
remaigned in the room. Then, Kadabra reapeared behind Gastly, surprising and disabling
him.
"Perfect! Pokeball, go!" Erika shouted and threw the pokeball at the gastly, who went into
the pokeball rather easily. "Great job Kadabra! Return." And with that, we continued our
search for Charizard.
We walked through all the rooms and finally found the one with the huge hole in
it where Charizard had fallen through. As we both looked over the edge of the hole, we
could see a tiny flame from Charizards tail.
"CHARIZARD! Hang on Charizard! Mommy's coming!" Erika suddenly yelled with tears
in her eyes. She reached over the edge of the hole, and grabbed a peice of wood
inbetween the two floors that stuck out.
"Erika! What are you doing?!" I said and put my back pack down next to Raichu.
"I have to help Charizard! I have to go down there!" She swung herself down into the
hole, hanging on to the wood until she could drop to the floor.
"Is he ok?" I shouted down into the dark hole. I suddenly remembered the potion I had
bought, and snatched my back pack from Raichu, who was rummeging through looking
for some food. I grabbed the potion and said,
"Here, you can use this on him, he'll be strong enough to fly you out at least once, then we
can take him to the pokemon center!" Erika took the potion and gave it to Charizard. His
flame was almost back to normal, and he moved his head to get up; but before he could,
Erika jumped him and gave him a huge hug.
"Oh Charizard...I'm so glad you're all right!" Charizard sat up as Erika climbed on his
back. He flew back up, and he walked out of pokemon tower with us to the pokemon
Center, where he, and the rest of our pokemon went to heal up.
"So, where are we going next?" I asked eagerly as we put out pokeballs back onto our
belts.
"Let me see," She put back her last pokeball and sat down on the couch, me hanging over
it, watching her pull out the map.
"Let's just see," She found Lavander Town, and traced a route with her finger to Fuchsia
City. "There!" She said finally, "by surfing through route #12 then skate through routes
#13,14,and 15, we should enter Fuchsia City through the east gate!" She said as she
retraced her finger from Fuchsia to Lavander.
"That's great!" I yelled out and picked up Raichu off the ground, pretending to dance with
him. "Hey, we have reason to celebrate!"
"Why?" Erika asked as she put away the map.
"You need to evolve Eevee to surf with me!" I yelled and plopped Raichu back down on
the ground.
"You're right!" She pulled out the Water Stone and her Eevee's pokeball. "It's time
Eevee!" She shouted and threw the pokeball on the ground.
"Eevee!" *yay!* Erika bent down, and slowly, she said, "Do you want to evolve?"
"Eevee, eev, eevee!" *I want to be a Vaporeon!* And slowly, the little Eevee touched her
nose to the stone, there was a blast of brown light around Eevee, then a bright white one,
that was beautiful. A few seconds later, we walked out of the pokemon Center with
Charizard, Raichu, Erika, me, and her new Vaporeon. She was a beautiful blue color,
with webs all around her neck, and fins on her tail, and around her face.
