A/N: Well what do you expect me to say? Fifth chapter in one day…
Chapter 5; Kris' Journey
Kris landed with a thump, not recognising where he was, until he saw a crooked wooden signpost that read "Kindle Road".
"Kindle Road, huh? Figures," he said to himself, and he began walking down the road.
"Now, if I was a giant mechanical living Arcanine, where would I hide in such a secluded area?" he asked himself. He knocked along the edge of the mountain, hoping to find a hollow spot, and, after some time of searching, he did. He called out all six of his pokémon, and had them help him dig through. He burst in, but it turned out to be the Ember Spa.
"Oh! Um – sorry about that – long story – have any of you seen a great big robot Arcanine around here?" he asked, and everyone inside shook their heads, all with looks of fright on their faces. He slowly backed out, and had his pokémon help him replace the rocks in the hole in the cave wall.
"Ok, return guys," he said in a dejected tone. With only his Dragonite remaining out of its pokéball, he raised the orb to return it, until he heard yells coming from behind him, up another mountain.
"Come on, you stupid little piece of clay, give up, and tell us where the Arcanine Zord is!" one of them cried. He, and all others he was with were wearing Team Rocket uniforms, and had several Ratata and Zubat out attacking a single Geodude. Suddenly, Kris swooped up on his Dragonite, and grabbed the poor pokémon out of harms way.
"What the – hey you, put that pokémon down!" one of them yelled.
"Oh right, like I'm really going to listen to a Rocket!" Kris spat, and all of the Grunts were surprised to learn that Kris knew who they were.
"Who are you?" one asked angrily.
"I'm the guy flying on a Dragonite while you're down there with Zubat and Ratata!" Kris yelled.
"Come on. We'll find it without that stupid rock," another member said, and they recalled their pokémon as they left. Dragonite flew back down to the ground, and Kris dropped the Geodude.
"There you go, buddy," Kris said, "Hey, you look a little hungry. D'you want some berries?" Kris asked, pulling a handful of berries from his pocket. The Geodude sniffed at them for a moment, before gobbling them all up.
"I always keep some with me, just in case! Say, did those guys say you know where the Arcanine Zord is?" Kris asked eagerly, and the rock pokémon didn't answer as it was still eating, but from the look it was giving him, Kris knew it did.
"D'you think you could show me where it is?" he asked. Geodude considered him for a moment.
"Dude…Geo!" it said, and began hoping away from him, so Kris and his Dragonite followed it. They walked for hours, climbing higher and further along the mountain, until eventually they came to a small cave.
"In here?" Kris asked, sticking his head inside. It was pitch-black.
"Geo," the pokémon told him, nodding.
"Well I don't think what I'm looking for would fit inside here, it looks pretty small…" Kris said, but as he stepped inside, several rocks fell from the cave ceiling fell down, flooding it with light, and he saw that it was huge. And there was the Arcanine Zord, in all its glory – although it was currently sleeping.
However, either due to the sudden amount of light, or the heavy rocks that had just hit its head, the Neo Zord awoke, and roared, firing a Flamethrower directly at Kris, who, along with both pokémon screamed.
A/N: Ooh, a cliffhanger, and the first Neo Zord! What will happen? Will Kris tame it? Well you're going to have to wait a couple of chapters to find out, because we're moving on to Rei next! See ya!
