Chapter nine: On The Road To Route 120
-------------------Somewhere else-------------------
Huh? I think I felt something...but, it doesn't feel right... a young girl, probably in her late teens thought. For some reason...it feels like...like...an absol, hurt in a battle... but- her thoughts were then interupted with a scream.
"Hey, you all right, loser?" a sarcastic voice asked, with hints of cheekiness in it. It turned out to be a brunette also in her late teens. The brunette had ran over the other girl with her Mightyena.
"Oh, it's you again. Leave me alone why don't you? Besides, I am not a loser, deal with it, Opheilia." The girl on the floor said angrily, with some hints of the "you'll pay for this"mood. "Just you wait, I'll really catch up, and you then see who's the loser around here."
Opheilia glared, then retorted,"I highly doubt that you'll ever even get near me, and face it, I am better than you'll ever be. Even your name is stupid, colorful, but stupid. I could hardly imagine anyone named "Indigo" at all, except losers like you!"
The girl, now identified as Indigo, got up, brushed herself, then said,"I feel sorry for your Mightyena, having to deal with a snobby trainer like you-" but, right when Indigo said that, Opheilia's Mightyena began to growl deeply.
"Oh, look here. My Mighyena is growling for me. How sweet! You think that it doesn't like me, but look whose talking?" Opheilia said, smuggily.
"Ugh. I have no time to deal with your immature ways, I need to get somewhere, and for some reason, my mind is trying to pull me to some place." Indigo replied, placing her hand on her head.
"Whatever, you are one of the biggest weirdos I've met." Opheilia said, holding up two fingers that are shaped like an "L" on her forehead as Indigo moved on foreward.
--------------------Near Route 120-------------------
'Latios! How long is this going to take to go on Route 120? We could've been halfway to Rustboro by now!' Richan complained continuosly with a bewildered look on his face.
'Richan, be quiet, we're almost there. Our whole pack'll be there, and I would not tolerate you complaining all the time!' Sapphire snapped back angrily.
'We're near,' Toby said, assuringly. He lowered his head towards the ground, and smelled a few tracks,and so is he...
--------------------Somewhere else-------------
'Hah. So Toby's near, eh? Looks like he's got some friends with him, and, oh look! Sapphire's with him, too! Excellent, now I can destroy the leader, and his second-in-command also. Sounds like a good plan, doesn't it, Hamirana?'
'Oh, yes my leader. Excellent plan indeed. I can tell that this is also my chance to wipe out Sapphire once and for all.' Hamirana replied, but deep down, she also added, she's not going to escape like last time. She be at peace at last...in hell!
------------------Back to route 120----------------
'Finally! We're here, and, well, that took a long time.' Richan cried out in relief, stretching his emerald-colored arms, and rotating his petal-covered hands.
Then Sapphire began,'Yeah, and, um...Toby! You were great on that battle before, just like my brother-'
'For the last time Sapphire, I am not your brother, and never was! Your brother is dead, DEAD! End of that! No more about your "brother" issues, and non sense! He is gone, and he's never coming back, deal with it!' Toby screamed, losing the last of his temper.
Hearing all that, Sapphire's eyes filled with tears of grief, and fear. She closed her eyes, and ran off to the nearest cherry-blossom tree. She jumped up, higher, and higher with each passing second, until she had reached the highest branch.
'Latios, chill! She was only complementing you! You don't just have to yell at her until she cries! What is wrong with you?' Richan cried out, furrowing his eyebrows.
'Richan's right! You should be ashamed of yourself, yelling at her as if she had done something wrong, well she didn't! It was you who was wrong!' Beai screamed.
'Shut up! The both of you!' Toby screamed, and ran to a nearby bush. He went around it and dissappeared...
