Chapter 2
The First Day Outside
Oliver P.O.V.
After an hour of walking around the hidden passage and fighting monsters we finally found the escape the castle. 'Ok monsters not fun, but at least I got some more practice with my weapons.' I thought climbing the ladder up following Yuri and Estellise. "It's already morning I wasted an entire night." Yuri said looking around. "Hey at least we're out be thankful for that." I said pulling myself out of the hole. "Looks like it led to the Royal Quarter." Yuri said. "Great can we please go now." I said lowering my head. "Everything looks so different from the windows of the castle." She said looking around. "You're joking right?" I said surprised at her worlds to say the least. "He's right, it sounds like this is your first time out of the castle." Yuri said to Estellise.
Estellise started to mumble about Yuri's comment. "I guess a lady who lives in a castle can't just take a walk outside whenever she wants." Yuri said looking at the castle. "Then I guess Estellise and I had a different way so growing up." I said looking for the exit. "What do you mean?" Estellise said to me. "Unlike you I spent most of my childhood outside sometime my parents ideas of a punishment for me was I had to stay inside." I said laughing as I remembering those days. "That sounds nice Oliver I wish I had a childhood like that." She said to me.
"Hey at least we made it out." Yuri said raising his hand for a high five. Estellise walked over to Yuri first and just poked his hand causing both of us to laugh. "No Estellise like this." I said giving Yuri his high five and making Estellise confused. "Don't worry you'll get it in time." I said to her. "So Estellise what are you gonna do now that you're out?" Yuri said to Estellise. "I'm going to find Flynn" Estellise said to us. "So you know where he is?" I asked Estellise. "The other day he said he was going off on a knight's pilgrimage." Estellise said. "A what." I asked Estellise. "It's a thing where knights go around the cities of the empire piling up good deeds." Yuri said obviously not caring. "So how does that help us find him." I asked Estellise.
"Knights traditionally visit the City of Blossoms Halure first so that's a good place to start." Estellise said to me. "So you'll need to go outside the barrier." Yuri said. "Why do I get the feeling that might be a bad idea." I said. "Because outside the barrier these monster that would love to kill us." Yuri said to me. "Have you ever been beyond the barriers?" Estllise asked Yuri. "Little while back. I'd like to go, but I can't just leave the Lower Quarter like it is." Yuri said to Estellise.
"Then let's go see what's going on then decide what we're going to do." I said to Yuri. "Yeah your right come on i'll show you the way out of town. It's on the way to the Lower Quarter" Yuri said starting to walk. "Thank you." Estellise said as she started to follow Yuri. "Hey wait for me." I said to them chasing after them.
After a few minutes of walking we came to a ramp going down. "The Lower Quarter is just down here." Yuri said. "You there fugitive halt I say." We heard a voice said. "The jig is up." A different voice said. We turn to see three knights standing by the entrance to the Royal Quarter. "Fools enough grandstanding arrest him!" The leader of the knights said and then I remember hearing them in the castle. "Hey Yuri it's your fan club." I said pointing at the knights. "We are not his fan club!" Theleader knight said getting angry at me.
"What should we do?" Estellise said titing her grip on her bag with the egg in it. "First you pick up one of these." Yuri said picking up a few rocks. "Then go like this." Yuri said as he threw the rocks at the knights hitting them on the head knocking them out. "Nice shot Yuri."
"Thanks let's get to the Lower Quarter" Yuri said walking down the ramp. "Yuri where've you been?" An old man said as we finally got to the Lower Quarter. "I got an invitation to the castle and had the most marvelous time." Yuri said to the old man. "Of all the and who are these two?" the old man said to me and Estellise. "Pleased to meet you I'm Estellise" Estellise said bowing at the old man. "My name is Oliver nice sir" I said to the old man. "It's a pleasure to meet all of you the name's Hanks" Hanks said.
"More importantly about those Imperial knights. They've been so busy looking for you they haven't paid any attention to our fiasco down here. So you've really managed to tick them off huh?" Hanks said to Yuri. "It looks that way, has Repede come back yet?" Yuri asked Hanks. "Sure did and he was carrying some bag." Hanks said to Yuri. "What happened to it?" Yuri said. "It should be up in your room" Hanks said. "Go pick it up later give it a shake it has a nice jingle to it Mordio liked it too." Yuri said.
"You met Mr. Mordio?" Hanks said surprised at Yuri's words. "Yeah, but the rat left town apparently he's someone important from a city called Aspio." Yuri said to Hanks. "Left town then that means we've been hoodwinked." Hanks said. "Afraid so his house was empty and I doubt he's even a real noble." Yuri said "I see." Hank said with a downer tune. "What ever he is, doesn't matter. Finding him and getting back anything else he stole from you guys." I said to Yuri and Hanks turning to me confused. "Well it looks like the fountain finally stopped leaking water." Yuri said to Hank. "That may be true, but by the way that water looks. It may not be safe to drink." I said looking at the mucky water. "Well without a core it won't budge so were stuck with it." Hanks said to me.
"Even if it's mucky is there enough water for the time being." Yuri asked us. "By the looks of it we have enough water to last for sometimes, but if this thing not working then this is all they got." I said looking closely at the water. "Don't worry when it runs out we'll just get it from the river, but will get the runs though." Hanks said to me. "I guess it can't be helped. I don't think the noble will give you guys any water." I said to Hanks.
"And the knights aren't going to help guess we'll go get it back from the thief ourselves." Yuri said to me. "Your right Yuri those knights don't care unless the nobles are in trouble so we fix this problem." I said to Yuri walking away from the fountain. "What you two aren't thinking of following Mordio beyond the barrier are ya?" Hanks said surprised by our plan.
"Don't worry, we'll be back before you know it." Yuri said walking towards me. "Humph who's worried. It's a good opportunity for ya no need for ya to hurry back." Hanks said to Yuri. "I'm with that I always love exploring new places." I said in support of Hanks Idea. "What do you mean by that Hanks." Yuri asked Hanks. "What I mean is we can get along just fine without, you follow Oliver example and just go." Hanks said "Come Hanks stop picking on me." Yuri said to Hanks lowering his head. "Even Flynn used to say "I wonder how long Yuri plans on living this life"." Hanks said making Yuri lower his head lower. "Flynn needs to learn to mind his own business." Yuri said. "Come Yuri cheer up I know let's go get a thief that will cheer you up." I said to Yuri as he raised his head. "Find the exit is this way come on Estellise." Yuri said leading the way out.
"Yuri Lowell you've given my two lackeys a headache now be a good boy and turn yourself in!" The knights leader said. "Hey Yuri it's the leader of your fan club." I said pointing at him. "I'm not his fan my name is Leblanc knight of the Schwann Brigade and I will arrest you as well as Yuri!" Leblanc said angry at me. "Well in that case Manectric come on out and use Thunderbolt on Leblanc." I yelled as I tossed Manectric pokeball out who let lose a large amount of electricity on Leblanc. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" Leblanc said as he fell to the ground. "Good work Manectric well bye Leblanc, ok guys let's go." I told Yuri and Estellise. "Yeah that's our cue to leave looks like we can't come back for some time" Yuri said. "Who are you?" Leblanc said starting to get up. "The name is Oliver Forest. Hanks can you do something to stall him?" I asked Hanks not wanting to kill Leblanc.
"Oliver I have this feeling that with you and Yuri around there never going to be a dull moment." Hanks said with a big smile. "Thanks Hanks I think Manectric return." I said as I returned Manectric. "After this I'll be even with you Yuri for getting that money back and Oliver when you get back you will have to tell more about that dog of yours." Hanks said as the people of the Lower Quarter started to move.
"Just make sure you don't spend that money on some crazy." Yuri said as we started to run. "Hey what for us." I said following Yuri. "It was nice to meet you sir." Estellise said bowing a Hanks. "I have a feeling that they will be quite a pain so you make sure to take care of yourself now." Hanks said to Estellise. "I will, thank you." Estellise said bowing again be chasing after us.
When Estellise finally caught up to us the people stated to crowed Leblanc we smiled at Leblanc messury. But we didn't notice the stampede of people coming to help us only to caught up in the crowd. It took us a few minutes to escape the crowd during which the crowd gave Yuri a few words and items to help.
"Wow Yuri they're all going to miss you so much." Estellise said to Yuri. "Honestly they're probably thrilled to finally get rid of me." Yuri said to Estellise. "Come on Yuri You're not that bad, right?" I said to Yuri. "Yuri Lowell! Oliver Forest!" Leblanc said getting throw the crowd. "And that's our cue to run." I said to Yuri. "Hey hold it who put money in here I can't take this." Yuri said pulling out some money running back. "Halt get out of my way!" Leblanc said getting close to us. "Yuri I think we should return it later, let's run." I said as we started to run. Leblanc started to chase us when a dog came out and knocked Leblanc to the ground.
"Nice one Repede" Yuri said to the dog. "A dog?" Estellise said. "And a smart one at that." I said looking at the dog. "Well for now it's north to Deidon Hold." Yuri said to us. "Why there first I thought we were going to Halure?" I asked Yuri. "Deidon Hold is on the way there it's we can resupply there then go to Halure." Yuri told me. "Yuri right." Estellise said to me. "I'm not sure how long we'll be together, but here's to the road ahead Estelle and Oliver." Yuri said to us. "Then let's go Yuri and Estelle." I said to them as Estellise started to say her nickname. "Well so long for now." Yuri said saying go bye to the city. "We hope to be back soon." Estelle said waving bye to the town. "Yeah, hopefully with some crazy and fun stories, now let's run." I said pulling them along.
It took us a few minutes to escape the city and make it outside. "So Yuri which way is Deidon Hold?" I asked looking at the plains. "According to this map Deidon Hold is this way." Yuri said pointing north. "Ok let's go then." After a few minutes of walking I said to Yuri. "Hey Yuri can I see the map?" I asked Yuri as he passes me the map. I looked at the map only to find Deidon Hold was the only thing on the map. "YOU CALL THIS A MAP!?" I yelled looking at this map.
"Well what did you expect most people don't leave the city that much." Yuri said to me. "Far enough. It's just that I'm used to have a map of the Region to help me, when I explore the Regions." I said trying to figure out how long is it until we reach Deidon Hold. "By the look of this map it will take us half a day to walk there." I said as we started to move towards Deidon Hold.
"Say Oliver now that we got some time can you tell us about Pokemon?" Estelle said as she took the egg out of her bag and rubbing it. "Well I guess it's a good time to tell you both about Pokemon." I said to Yuri and Estelle. "Before I tell you I must tell you where I come from." I said pulling out my Town Map. "I come from a different world where Pokemon and People live together in harmony." I said showing my map to them shocking them with both my world and my tech. "What is this thing?" Estelle said at awestrucked at my map. "It's a Town Map it keeps a map of different Regions and the places in those Regions." I said watch them play with my Town Map.
"I guess if you have something like this then you have to be telling the truth." Yuri said. "What about the Pokemon?" Estelle said obviously really excited to learn about my world. "Pokemon are creatures that give my world it's mystery and wonder. Thriving in abundant numbers that are hard to imagine. In the sky, in the sea, on mountains, and in forests, in fields of green, and in towns and cities everywhere. We have lived with them, play with them, work with them, and fight with them. Pokemon come in different shapes and forms with many different types and abilities. With their help we have found peace and harmony and we learned how to use Pokemon to help us all live better lives." I said to Yuri and Estelle. Estelle obviously love everything hearing about my world Yuri just cracked a smile.
"That sounds lovely I wish I could see it." Estelle said still happy. "Yeah it sounds like a great place to live." Yuri said thinking about my world. "Yeah it's fun, but you can't have a good time without bad times." I said to Yuri. "What do you mean?" Yuri asked me. "Back home we still have people who hunt Pokemon and sell them and people who think just because their rich or bigger they should always win." I said to Yuri. "Oh so you have nobles to ha?" Yuri said to me. "Yes we have nobles, but the people with real power in are world are the Gym Leaders, The Elite Fours and The Champions." I said to Yuri.
"Who are these people and why are they important?" Estelle asked me. "They are the strongest Pokemon trainers in the Regions. Each Gym leader and Elite Four member is a specialist of a specific type of Pokemon." I said to Estelle. "What do mean Specific type of Pokemon?" Yuri asked me. "Oh there's 18 types of Pokemon and each Pokemon has one or two types. These types affect a Pokemon moves, habitat, and nature. Gym Leaders and Elite Four are people who master one of those types." I said to Yuri. "They sound tough." Estelle said. "They are, but when we battle them they teach us lessons that makes us stronger. The thing is each Region has different Gym Leaders and Elite Four, so depending on what Region your in you learn different things." I said to Estelle.
"What about the Champions why are they important?" Yuri asked me. "The Champions are the strongest Trainer in their respect Regions, they handle a lot of the big problems and their so strong that with their partners they can take a full Pokemon Trainers team down like it was nothing." I said to Yuri. "They sound tough I would love to fight one of their Pokemon." Yuri said to me. "Just be careful if you do, I seen some Champions Pokemon that can defeat their opponents with just the force of their attacks." I said worry about Yuri.
"Can You tell us more about Pokemon Oliver you told me there's a lot of them so I want to hear more about them." Estelle asked me. "One second I have the perfect tool to help you with that." I said looking for my Pokedex. "Ah ha here it is, this is my Pokedex. This holds info on Pokemon in my world, think of it as a Pokemon encyclopedia compact into a small mobile device." I said to Estelle pulling out the latest Hoenn Mode as I gave it to her and her eyes lit up with excitement. "Are you sure that I can have this?" Estelle said to me. "It's fine I haven't used that Pokedex for some time, so you can have it." I said to Estelle. "Thank you." Estelle said as she looked down at the Pokedex "How does this work?" She asked me looking at the Pokedex.
"It works by either searching through its data or by pointing the camera on the Pokedex at a Pokemon. I know how about you try the camera on the Pokemon you meet last night, plus it's about time we get familiar with each other." I said to Estelle as I pulled Chesnaught, Manectric, and Doublade Pokeballs out and said. "Come on out everyone and say hi to our new friends." I said as they came out of their Pokeballs. "Yuri, Estelle this is half of my team/family. The big guy is Chesnaught, the swords is Doublade, and the yellow dog is Manectric." I said pointing to them. "Manectric." "Doublade." "Chesnaught." They all said greeting them.
"Why are they saying their names?" Yuri asked placing his hand on his chin. "Pokemon mostly just say their names it's really very ultra rare to find a Pokemon that can talk like a human." I said petting Manectric. "Then how do you understand them Oliver?" Estelle asked me. "Over time and experience you start to learn what their saying by how their voice and how their bodies are acting." I said looking over Chesnaught. "I wonder if I will understand this little one." Estelle said rubbing the egg.
"You will Estelle, now let's start using the Pokedex. First you have to point at one of them." I said angling her arms at my Pokemon. "Then you press this button and that's it." I told her how to work the Pokedex. "Ok here we go." She said pointing the Pokedex at Doublade
Doublade
The Sword Pokemon
Ghost / Steel
The complex attack patterns of its two swords are unstoppable, Even for an opponent greatly accomplished at swordplay
"No wonder Zagi had a hard time dogging Doublade." Yuri said. "Yeah Doublade loves to fight. He thinks of fighting is an art, so to him runnines is disrespectful to the art." I said to Yuri. "Sounds like he's a hand full." Estelle said. "He does block the attack, but when I tell him to run away from the attacks he gets upset." I said to Estelle. "Ok then it's your turn." Estelle said pointing to Chesnaught.
Chesnaught
The Spiny Armor Pokemon
Grass / Fighting
When it takes a defensive posture with it's fists guarding its face it could withstand a bomb blast.
"Wow he must have some strength to take an explosion and keep standing." Estelle said petting Chesnaught head. "I know Chesnaught for a long time. He was the first Pokemon I got when I started my journey." I said remembering the day I got him. "Wow you two must have been thrown a lot." Yuri said looking at Chesnaught. "Yeah, but don't let the muscles you fool. Chesnaught is a big old softy with an even bigger heart." I said as he started to rub his head in embarrassment. "Ok, now it's your turn." Estelle said pointing at Manectric.
Manectric
The Discharge Pokemon
Electric
Manectric discharges strong electricity from its mane. The mane is used for collecting electricity in the atmosphere. This Pokemon creates thunder clouds above its head.
"Interesting Pokemon." Yuri said as Manectric and Repede just started a staring contest. "Manectric is my go to Pokemon, my partner and walks by my side most of the time." I said watching Manectric and Repede. "Should we stop them?" Estelle said to me. "I wouldn't try. Manectric takes everything seriously, mess with him will only get you a nice shocks." I said remembering all the shocks Manectric gave me when we started working together. "Is he normally like this?" Yuri asked me. "He's mostly quiet and serious, but he's a good Pokemon." I said to Yuri. "Sounds like Repede." Yuri said to me as we watch Repede and Manectric continue there staring contest.
"Here you can have your Pokedex back." Estelle said handing it back. "No, keep it. I learned enough about Pokemon that I don't need it. Besides, I can tell you want to learn about Pokemon, no better tool then the Pokedex." I said pushing the Pokedex back to her. "Thanks Oliver." Estelle said to me as she put the Pokedex in her bag. "No problem." I said to Estelle. "Ok everyone return." I said to my team. "Well let's go everyone Deidon Hold is that way right." I said to Yuri pointing north. "Yep that's the way let's go." Yuri said as we started walking towards Deidon Hold.
After a few hours of walking we finally reach Deidon Hold and I got to say I wasn't expecting this. The hold was built into a giant wall stretching from one side of the cannon to the other with knight all around it. "Do you think those knights followed you here?" Estelle sai to Yuri. "I doubt that it's more likely these knights are sationed here, but they might have heard about us so let's keep a low profile." I said to Estelle. "Oliver is right best to just get supplies and continue on." Yuri said. "Okay and I want to catch up with Flynn as soon as I can." Estelle said. "Then get some supplies and go." I said as we started to move to the merchants.
"Welcome I've got some nice gear in stock today." The merchant said. "This blade was forged by none other than Assam the blademaster. It even comes equipped with weapon skills. No traveler should be without them. Feel free to give it a try?" The merchant said showing us a sword. "What are you talking about?" I asked the merchant?
"The special techniques contained in weapons. These techniques were originally passed down from master to pupil. But the blademaster Assam used a special process to seal them within the weapons themselves. Bodhi blastia can acquire techniques from weapons imbued with this power. With continued use weapon artes can eventually learned by the person using the weapon." Estelle said shocking both Yuri and me.
"My this young lady knows her stuff that about sums it up." The merchant said. "I read in a book that the Kritya gave this knowledge to humans long ago." Estelle said. "Huh I thought bodhi blastia only let you use strike and magic artes." Yuri said looking at his bodhi blastia. "In order to find the fighting style that meets your needs it's best to think carefully about weapon skills when choosing your weapons. There are even weapons without weapon skills that focus instead on raw attack power it all depends on your preference." The merchant said to Yuri. The merchant continues to teach Yuri about weapon skills. Since I don't have a bodhi blastia I will have to rely on the strength of the weapon and my Pokemon. I then looked at the merchant weapons and I didn't like anything I saw. I'll have to stay with these maces. I thought looking at the maces and my Pokemon on my belt.
"I can't imagine business is all the great in a place like this?" Yuri said to the merchant. "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here because I want to be. There are monsters on the far side of the Hold so i'm stuck." The merchant said looking at the gate. "Well we can't help with that, but we can help business we need supplies heal items, food, and water if you have any?" I asked the merchant. "Ok let's see what we have." The merchant said as he lead me to his items in his cart.
"Monsters huh?" Yuri said looking at the wall. "Don't get any crazy ideas Yuri. Why don't we try to avoid the monsters if at all possible." I said to Yuri las I said finishing picking up the supplies. "Huh did you two say something?" Estelle said not listening to us and was looking up from her book. "I said I'm going to get some information, so you two wait right here." Yuri said as he and Repede started to walk to the gate. "Oh I'll come too." Estelle said to Yuri. "Here's the money for the supplies." I said giving the merchant some money. "Thanks and you can have that book as a bonus it's pretty old and it has some pages missing. But it's yours if you like." The merchant said taking the money. "Thank you very much." Estelle said bowing at the merchant before going after Yuri. "Yeah thanks good luck with the business." I said running after them. "Is that book any good?" Yuri asked Estelle as we caught up to Yuri and Repede. "Yes it's fascinating you can read it as soon as I finish." Estelle said. "I like that, hopefully it some tricks to help me fight." I said to Estelle as we started to walk towards the gate.
After a few minutes we heard a bell sound suddenly everyone started to move the knights started to move to the wall and the people started to run to are side of the gate. One of the knights started to lower the gate. "Hurry get inside the gate's closing!" A women at the top of the wall screamed. "Arrows bring the arrows!" One of the knights screamed. "Shut the gate now!" Another knight said. "Dammit what are they doing here this time of year!?" A knight said. "The monsters will fall back if we stop the main charge remember your training." A knight said. With that I looked outside the gate and saw the arrows the knights where firing and the horde of Monsters charging at the Hold and some people stopping in their tracks. "OK they're all in close it up." The knight at the top of the wall said. "Hold the gate there still more!" The women yelled to the knight.
As the started to get closer I could see that they were some kind of boat monster. "Are all those monsters?" Estelle said covering her mouth. "We just left the capital and things are already getting crazy. That's it I'm cursed I know it." Yuri said looking at the horde of monsters. "Forget about the monsters those people need are help let's go and help them." I said to Yuri. "What about keeping a low profile?" Yuri asked me as I started to run towards the gate. "People need our help. Forget low profile and help." I said as Yuri and Estelle started to chase after me with Repede going to stop them from closing the gate on us. Repede started to growl at the knight stopping the gate from closing. "What the hell cut it out." The knight said trying to get Repede to go away.
"Estelle you wait over- hey!" Yuri said to Estelle who ran past us. "Help the girl." Estelle said to Yuri. "Chesnaught help us out." I said as I let Chesnaught out. "Yuri me and Chesnaught will help the family, you help the girl!" I said as we started to move. "Whatever you say." Yuri said to Estelle and me. Estelle ran next to a man who sprained his leg. "Please I can't get up owww the monsters the monsters!" The boy said to estelle. "Everything is going to be ok." Estelle said to the boy as Yuri and I ran to are targets. "Stay way you monster." The mother said trying to protect her hurt kids. "It's ok we're here to help" I said getting the mom up. "Chesnaught" Chesnaught said picking up the two kids. She was about to say something, but I said. "Don't worry he won't hurt them."
"Mom I think they are here to help." The Little boy said. "Mom we have to go the monsters are coming!" The little girl said hiding in Chesnaught arm. "Please protect my kids!?" The mother said looking at me. "Don't worry no ones dying from those monsters, not today!" I said as Chesnaught and me started to run for the gate.
Yuri just ran and picked up the scared girl and ran for the gate. "Hey I can I can stand" the boy said standing up. "Go in the hold hurry!" Estelle said before they started to run towards the gate. "That's everyone close the gate" I said as the gate started to lower again. "My doll mama's doll." The little girl Yuri saved said to us. Estelle tried to go out there again but Yuri stop her. "Hey let go of me" Estelle said to Yuri. "You wait here." Yuri said to Estelle as he started to run out there. "Yuri what are you doing!?" I yelled at Yuri as he ran for the doll. I looked up and saw one of the gates great start to break. "Chesnught hold the gate open for him!" I yelled at him. "Chesnaught" Chesnaught said placing the kids in their mother's arm and cough the gate as it's gear broke. "Chesnaught" Chesnaught said trying to keep it open as long as possible.
"Well there goes the keeping a low profile." I heard Yuri said as he picked up the doll. "Yuri!?" Estelle screamed. "Yuri hurry up Chesnaught can't keep this gate open for much longer!" I said yelling at Yuri. "Chesnaught" Chesnaught said losing his grip on the gate. Yuri started running to the gate and as he slid under the gate as Chesnaught dropped it, stopping the monsters from getting in. "You know I miss the days when I just had to worry about getting lost in my worlds jungles." I said looking at Yuri and Estelle.
Estelle heal the kid Chesnaught save then they all started thanking us. "How can we ever thank you?" The mother of the girl Yuri save said to us. "Everyone's alive that's all the thanks I need." I said to them. "Oliver is right it was nothing really." Estelle said hiding her blush. "I'm not sure what I would have done if you hadn't cured me thanks." The boy Estelle said. "Thank you for helping them.." The mother of the kids Chesnaught saved said to Chesnaught. "Chesnaught" He said with a smile. "He said "no problem"." I said to the mother. "Thanks." The boy said to Chesnuaght. "Yeah thanks for keeping us safe." The girl said to Chesnaught.
After they left and we meet up with Repede how was done holding the knight back at the base of the gate. "I'm just thankful that everyone's safe." Estelle said broping to her knees. "Me too." I said as I started to lay in the dirt looking up at the sky. "All worn out huh?" Yuri said sitting down. "It really is dangerous beyond the barrier with so many ferocious monsters around." Estelle said. "Yeah with all those monsters out either I need to get better with these weapons or find a way home." I said pulling my maces to the sky.
"Yeah this place could definitely use a barrier against a pack that big." Yuri said. "Couldn't they install a barrier blastia here?" Estelle said to Yuri. "No barriers are a precious resource." Yuri said to Estelle. "You're right and with the current technology we can't make anymore." Estelle said to Yuri. "Why would you make more blastia if the last city we were in, showed me anything is that if the empire has a chance to increase their power, they will do it." I said to Estelle pushing myself off the ground.
"The monster tamer is right." We turned to a knight walking are way. We got up getting ready to run when he said. "Wait I just want to talk." He said. "Ok what is it?" Yuri said to the knight. "First of my name is Mason Bigge and I run the forces of the Hold." Mason said. "My name is Estelle that Yuri and the "monster tamer" is Oliver it's nice to meet you." Estelle said to Mason. "What did you mean Oliver was right?" Yuri said to Mason.
"The Empire is all about power and even if you work for them, they destroy your life." Mason said as Estelle looked away. "But if we recover the secrets of the ancient Geranios civilization then things would get better." Estelle said to us. "Not likely Estelle if the Guilds or the Empire get those secrets they will use it on each other and only help their people and no one else." Mason said making Estelle looking down. "Why do you disagree with the Empire aren't you a knight captain?" Yuri asked Mason. "I'm not a captain because I want power I'm a captain because this job is the best way to support my family which brings me to you." Mason said to Yuri before he turned to me. "Thank you, you and your monster saved my family. I'm the captain here and I couldn't do anything to help them." Mason said bowing at me.
"I did what I thought was right and everything happen so fast, you need to give orders to everyone else." I said nerves about Mason bowing at me. "There must be some way I can repay you for saving them. I don't have much money to spare, but please take it" Mason said pulling a bag of money out. "No keep it, but there are two things you can do for me." I said pushing the money away and looking at my clothes. "Name them?" Mason said. "One my monster is called a Pokemon and say your sorry for calling him a monster and two as you can see I don't have any armor so can I get some from you?" I asked Mason.
"Ok, but before we get you some armor." Mason said to me before turning to Chesnaught. "Thank you oh noble Pokemon you saved my family and I'm sorry for calling you a monster." Mason said bowing at Chesnaught. "Naught Ches Chesnaught" Chesnaught said raising his hand for a handshake. "He said, just call me Chesnaught and what are friends for?" I said as Mason and Chesnaught shake each others hands. "Then thank you my friend now let's get Oliver some armor." Mason said to Chesnaught before leading us to the armory.
After a few minutes passed Mason showed me the armory and said I can take what I need. After looking around I found some armor that cloud work for me, but before I could put it on we heard some knights moving outside. Mason opened the door and turn to me and say. "You need to go now!"
"Why I just found some armor that could help, so why can't I just try it on first?" I asked Mason. "No some Guild people are going crazy and they are upset about the gate and there screaming about letting them through or let them kill Chesnaught." Mason said closing the door. "You need to go there's a door over there. I will go out and me and the knights will try to hold them at bay, but I can't promise for how long." Mason said to me. "Mason thank you for everything." I said grabbing the armor. "I'm just helping a friend." Mason said leaving. I putted the armor in my bag as I returned Chesnaught before going out the back door.
After a few minutes of sticking to the shadow I found Estelle and Repede sitting down. "Hey Estelle what's up?" I said to Estelle. "After you went into the armory some people started to make a seen and Mason told us to go. That's when we learned that it would take some time before we can go through the gate so there's nothing we can do." Estelle said to me. "Oh I see well then I guess Oliver and me will have to take the other way around by ourselves come on Oliver." Yuri said as we turned are head to see him on the hill above us.
"Don't have to tell me twice Mason made it sound like we should leave now." I said running to Yuri. "What how did you, hey wait for me?" Estelle said as her and Repede followed us.
We left the Hold and about half an hour later we started to talk again. "So Oliver did you get some armor before we had to run." Yuri asked me. "I got some armor before we started to run." I said to Yuri. "What kind of armor did you get?" Etselle asked me. "I didn't take a hole set of armor just some parts to help me stay alive if I get hit." I said to Estelle. "Why didn't you get a hole set Mason had no trouble giving you some armor?" Estelle asked me. "Back home how I avoid getting hurt is by dodging, but here I need to fight so I need armor that can let me move as freely as possible." I said to Estelle. "Smart chose Oliver." Yuri said to me as we kept walking.
After another half of walking we found a dark forest. "Yuri where are we?" I asked Yuri. Yuri just stay silenced and Estelle said. "A forest in a place like this can only mean the Quoi Woods." Estelle said scared. "Bingo you're just full of information aren't you?" Yuri said pointing to Estelle. "The Quoi Woods?" I said looking around at the woods. "I read in a book once that a curse will fall upon anyone who enters the wood." Estelle said still scared. "Ah so that must be the surprise." Yuri said. "Surprise you knew that this forest had a problem." I said mad at Yuri. But Yuri just started walking into the Woods, but Estelle was still scared. "Not going in that's fine by me, but what about Flynn." Yuri said to Estelle. "Yuri give her a minute she scared." I said to Yuri. "I know okay let's go." Estelle said. "Don't worry Estelle I have the perfect Pokemon to help us through this forest." I said picking one of my Pokeballs. "Really what is it?" Estelle said getting the Pokedex out, forgetting where we are. "Come on out Pyroar." With that a Female Pyroar came out and Estelle pointed the Pokedex at her.
Pyroar
The Royal Pokemon
Fire / Normal
With fiery breath of more than 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, they viciously threaten any challenger. The females protect the pride's cubs
"Wow she's pretty." Estelle said attempting to pet Pyroars mane. "Estelle don't move." I yelled making her jump back. "What was that about?" Yuri asked me. "Pyroars mane is where she makes her flames, so her mane is basically a fire." I said to Yuri. "Oh so why did you bring her out now." Estelle asked me. "Female Pyroars protect their cubs, but my Pyroar protects any egg that we are watching over." I said as Pyroar got close to Estelle and seeing her egg. "I see she protects the eggs your watching over, but why didn't you use her in the castle?" Yuri asked me. Then we heard something in the bushes, but before we could act Pyroar mane started to glow and a ball of fire started to grow in her mouth before she fired it at the buches. After the ball of fire exploded we the buches was turned to ash and we saw the burned remains of a plant monster.
"That's why she has always been a fighter, but when she became a Pyroar she became an overprotective mother." I said to Yuri as we watch Pyroar snuggling the egg with Estelle. "As you can she cares about the egg, but when something gets close to the egg she lights them on fire first then see what it is." I said as we turned our heads to the monster. "Is that why you didn't let her out in the castle." Estelle said looking at Pyroar. "Yep she good at protecting the egg, but she's not subtle when she does it." I said to Estelle. "I guess it's hard to sneak around when Pyroar lights everyone on fire." Yuri said.
"Ok Estelle stay close to Pyroar and Pyroar please don't burned down the forest?" I said to the girls. "Ok then are we ready to go?" Yuri asked us. "Me and Pyroar are ready." Estelle said with Pyroar roaring in agreement. "Wait I need to get my armor on, give me a few minutes" I said walking behind a tree.
After a few minutes I came around the tree revealing my armor over my normal clothes. It wasn't anything fancy it was just a normal knight white chest and back plate, arms and leg cover and that it. "Not bad Oliver." Yuri said looking at me. "Yeah It's almost like your a knight." Estelle said looking at me. "Well they had mostly the same stuff, but this armor is a little lighter than most so I went with it." I said looking at it. "I hope it helps" Estelle said to me. "I'm sure it will work, but I need to give this thing a paint job." I said to Estelle. "Let's see if the next town has any paint, come on." Yuri said starting to walk into the Woods. "Yuri wait up." I said as the rest of us started to chase after him.
After fighting some monsters we found an open area and Estelle started to get scared again. "My feet feel cold all of a sudden oh no is this the curse!" Estelle said. "What sort of curse is it supposed to be anyway?" Yuri said to Estelle. "The voices of corpses buried beneath the trees creep up and lure us to our doom." Estelle said. "Sounds like some old stories we have back home." I said to Estelle. "So is it true!" Estelle said. "No in my world those stories are just some Ghost Pokemon." I said to Estelle. "Ghost Pokemon don't you mean ghost." Yuri said.
"No, you see there are 18 Pokemon types some flashy, some scary, some graceful, some plan." I said to Yuri. "What do you mean?" Estelle asked me. "You see each Pokemon type affects how each Pokemon fights for example Pyroar is a Fire Normal type so her fighting style is about overwhelming power not a lot on defending. But an Ice types fighting style is about slowing there eminies to a craw making it hard for them to fight back." I said to Estelle. "So what fighting style does a Ghost Pokemon have?" Yuri asked me. "Ghost Pokemon fighting style is by freaking out their enemies making them scared to do anything." I said to Estelle.
"I hope we don't meet a Ghost type." Estelle said. "Did you forget Doublade is a Ghost type." I said to Estelle. "I totally forgot I'm sorry." Estelle said to me bowing. "Don't worry you only see Doublade two times and you're new to this whole Pokemon thing." I said to Estelle. After we finished talking we continue to walk throw this woods
"What's that?" Estelle walking over to a fallen tower. "A Blastia what's it doing in a place like this?" Yuri said looking at the tower. "Let's take a break" Yuri said. "Ok I'll get some firewood and start making lunch." I said. "No let's move on." Estelle said as she started to walk away only to stop. "Huh? What's this?" Estelle said walking over two the fallen tower. Just as she got close a blinding light flashed. "Ahhh!" We all screamed and after the light died down we saw Estelle unconscious.
"Estelle." Yuri said running to an unconscious Estelle. I followed him to see if Estelle was ok only to find out she was just asleep. "Looks like she did need a break." I said to Yuri. "Yeah your right, so lunch" Yuri said to me. "I'm on it Yuri let me just get some firewood you stay with Estelle, Pyroar you stay with them." I said walking away from them.
After a few minutes I came back to Yuri and the other with firewood. "So what's on the menu?" Yuri asked me. "Just some fruit chowder nothing to france." I said to Yuri. "Pyroar can you start making a fire I will get my pot out?" I said to Pyroar getting my pot out of my bag.
After I started to cook Yuri tried to eat one of those fruits lying on the forest floor. "Damn that's bitter." Yuri said taking a bite of the fruit. "I'm almost done you could have waited a few more minutes you know?" I said stirring the chowder. After I put the lid of the pot back on Estelle started to wake up. "Welcome back to the land of the living." I said to Estelle as she started to get up. "You all right?" Yuri asked Estelle.
"Ooh my head feels a little I'll be fine." Estelle said trying to act brave. "I you need to rest just rest we won't think any less of you." I said to Estelle. "I promise I'm fine, but what happened to me." Estelle asked me and Yuri. "You just fell over all of a sudden don't you remember?" Yuri said to Estelle. "Perhaps it was the aer that made me dizzy." Estelle said. "Aer that sort of like the fuel that powers the blastia right? I heard that even though we cant see it it's scattered through the atmosphere." Yuri said. "Yes that are. I read once that dense aer can have negative effects on people." Estelle said to Yuri.
"Hmm, maybe that's what started the rumor of the curse." Yuri said as Estelle started to stand up. "Hey you only just woke up you should rest a bit more." Yuri said to Estelle. "He's right sit down relax lunch is almost ready." I said to Estelle. "But I can't if we don't catch up with Flynn soon." Estelle said. "And what if you collapse again and this time you're out for the whole night." Yuri said to Estelle. "Yeah and I'm not dragging you there we'll go after we had some lunch." I said to Estelle. "You're right I'm sorry." She said walking over to Yuri seeing the fruit by him. "How about we eat these and go." Estelle said picking up the fruit. "Estelle wait!" I said, but unfortunately she already started to eat it.
"Ugh." Estelle said after taking a bite of the fruit. "I tried to warn you." I said stirring the chowder. "Heh I suppose we'll never get full trying to eat these, hey Oliver how's lunch coming?" Yuri said. "Almost done." I said to Yuri. "Come on this fruit is delicious." Estelle said lying. "Well I bet my fruit chowder will be better than that fruit." I said. "Oliver you can cook?" Estelle asked me. "I have been traveling for many years and I camped out a lot so I learned how to cook, but what I can make depends on supplies and location." I said. "What do you mean?" Yuri asked me. "If I was in a kitchen with a variety of food I could make a lovely meal, but here in the woods the best I can make is a soup or sandwich." I said getting the bowls out of my bag.
"Oliver where did those bowls come from?" Yuri asked me. "From my backpack." I said to Yuri. "How much space do you have in that bag?" Estelle asked me obviously confuseds. "You see in my world people have to walk for a few days at least to get from town to town without Pokemon help. So we have developed backpacks that can hold a lot of stuff people need to travel ranging from a rope to a tent." I said. "Cool so what else can you put in your bag?" Yuri asked me.
"I can put in a lot of things in my bad, but it has a few limits." I said. "What limits does your bag have?" Estelle asked me. "Limit one no living things so my Pokemon and the egg can't go in my beg. The second limit is I can only carry a certain amount of items so I can only have so much supplies in it and that's it." I said to Estelle. "Ok then Oliver can be incharge of the supplies for are travels." Yuri said to me. "Thanks Now let's eat." I said started to pour the chowder in the bowls.
"Here Estelle this ones for you." I said to Estelle handing her a bowl and a spoon. "Thanks." Estelle said to me. "Repede this is for you." I said placing a bowl in front of Repede who just barked and started to eat. "Here you go Pyroar." I said given Pyroar a bowl. "Here Yuri." I said, but before Yuri could grab it something burst out of the bushes and stole Yuri's food. "Hey that's mine you little thief." Yuri said chasing after the thief. "Yuri wait! Estelle say here with Repede and Pyroar." I said to Estelle following Yuri.
Eventually I found Yuri who was hiding behind some bushes looking at the theif. "Hey Oliver what that thing?" Yuri whispered to me as I got close to the bushes. As I looked over the bushes I saw a small red and black creature with metal blades at the end of it's arms, two metal toes on each of its feet, four blades in his chest, and one blade on its head. "That's a Pokemon." I whispered to Yuri.
"That's a Pokemon?" Yuri said conused. "Yeah that's a Pokemon, but what's it doing here?" I said. "I don't know but I'm getting my lunch back." Yuri said going at the Pokemon. "Yuri wait." I said. "Hey give me back my lunch." Yuri said to the Pokemon. Surprised by Yuri's voice the Pokemon jumped up and the tips of his arms started to shine silver and attacked Yuri. However Yuri doge it then drew his sword.
"So you want to fight?" Yuri said before he started to swing his sword at the Pokemon. I just stood there and watch as Yuri and the pokemon exchange blows and blocking each others attacks with. "You know your not bad, but I'm getting my food back." Yuri said to the Pokemon who nodded in agreement. "Ok enough Manectric use Thunderbolt in between them." I said as I send Manectric out as he let loose a bolt of electricity stopping them.
"Yuri I don't think he stole your lunch because he's bad, but because he's hungry." I said walking over to the Pokemon. "You were just hungry won't you?" I said to it. It turned away from me trying to act tough only to be betrayed by his stomach growl. "Well come on we have more food back at camp I sure these enough for you." I said picking up the bowl and walking back to the camp with Manecrtic. Yuri and the Pokemon both looked at each other before following me.
When we walked backed we saw Estelle sitting down waiting to eat. "Hello everyone welcome back." Estelle said to us. "Sorry for the wait." I said to Estelle. "Oh who's that?" Estelle said looking at the Pokemon. "This is the thief that stole my lunch" Yuri said. "What is it?" Estelle said. "This is a Pokemon and the reason he stole Yuri's lunch was because he was hungry." I said getting another bowl out. "Ok so what are you?" Estelle said pulling out the Pokedex.
Pawniard
The Sharp Blade Pokemon
Dark / Steel
Blades comprise this Pokemon's entire body. If battling dulls the blades, it sharpens them on stones
"Oh the Pokedex says it's a boy to." Estelle said as I finish making every ones lunch. "Well Pawniard here you go." I said giving him some food. After we started to eat Yuri started to talk. "So what will we do with Pawniard?" Yuri ask me as we turned to Pawniard eating with Pyroar and Manectric. "That depends on what Pawniard wants." I said taking a bite of my lunch. "What Pawniard wants?" Yuri asked. "You see some Pokemon are just a smart as human smarter." I said to Yuri.
"They really are that smart I can't wait to meet some more Pokemon." Estelle said. "Maybe we will." I said. "What does that have to do with Pawniard?" Yuri asked me. "Pawniard can make it's on chooses weather he came with us or stays here is up to him." I said only for Yuri looking at Pawniard.
After we finished lunch Yuri walked over to Pawniard. "You know your a pretty cool Pokemon and a decent fighter and I would like if you came with me." Yuri asked Pawniard. "Pawniard" He said rising his arm. "He said yes and he wants to seal the deal with your sword." I said to Yuri putting out the fire. "Ok then Pawniard welcome to are team." Yuri said raising his sword. Pawniard jump up and say "Pawniard" as he clancket his arm with Yuri swords.
"Welcome Pawniard." Estelle said. "Welcome aboard Pawniard." I said finishing putting lunch away. "Now that Pawniard is part of the team and we had lunch, let's move on." Yuri said leading the way. "Ok Yuri Manectric return." I said as before I started to follow Yuri.
We walked for about thirty minutes before we notice something moving in the bushes both Pyroar and Repede started to growl. "Prepare to die eggbear!" A kid voice said. Then a kid with a giant sword came out of the bushes and just started to spin wildly. "And here I thought we have a problem." I said watching as the kid span away from us. "I got this." Yuri said drawing out his sword. Yuri waited for the moment to strict then stricted. "Waaaaah OOF!" The kid said. "Ooh man that hurt." The kid said falling to the ground before Pyroar jump on him. "Gyahh!" The kid said starting at the ball of fire in Pyroar's mouth.
"I'm warning you even cooked me, I don't taste very good you'll get the runs." The kid said. "Is this kid for real?" Yuri asked me. "I think so, Pyroar get off him." I said to Pyroar. She just growled at the kid before getting off him. "What you can control monsters?" The kid said. "She is no monster." I said petting Pyroars back to calm her down. "Now who are you?" I asked.
"Oh I'm Karol Capel I'm a member of the Hunting Blades guild we travel the globe in search of the toughest monsters." Karol said making me angry. "So does that mean your going to kill my family?" I said tightening my grip on Pyroar. "Your family you mean that monster." Karol said making me madder. "Hey Karol if you don't want to be on fire I would stop calling Oliver family monsters and start calling them Pokemon." Yuri said to Karol. Karol looked down at Yuri's legs and saw Pawniard. "What's that thing?" Karol asked. "This is Pawniard and that's Pyroar they are Pokemon think of them as monsters, but with a human soul." Yuri said to Karol.
"Pokemon?" Karol said confused at the word. "We'll explain later, but first introductions my name is Yuri. This Estelle that's Repeede and you meet Oliver and Pyroar." Yuri said point to us in order of name called. "Nice to meet you Karol now let's go guy." I said leaving. "What Oliver wait my apologies?" Estelle said as her and Yuri started to follow me.
"Hey wait up where you guys going?" Karol said chasing after us. "You guys are here to enter the woods right well then I'll." Karol said getting in front of me. "We just finished traveling through the woods we don't need your help." I said in a harsh tune. "Oliver play nice." Yuri said to me. "No way you guys made it through the cursed woods." Karol said surprised at what we said. "Did you guys run into any eggbears?" Karol asked. "I don't know?" I said to him. "I don't think we saw any bear monsters, so nope." Yuri said.
"Man wonder if I should head back to town then." Karol said turning away from us. "Aren't you some big bad monster killer I doubt they will pay you unless you kill that eggbear so get in there and kill it like the monster you are." I said to Karol. "Hey I don't want to kill the eggbear because it's the job it because I need to." Karol said.
"So your just here to kill huh you really are a monster." I said to Karol which made Karol lower his head. Before I said anything Yuri slapped me on the back of my head. "What was that for?" I said to Yuri. "For being Rude." Yuri said to me. "Sorry about Oliver he's just cares about his family." Estelle said. "You mean those monsters?" Karol said earning him an evil eye from me. "I mean Pokemon?" Karol said.
"Yes they are my family and I will protect them." I said to Karol. "Don't worry with me the star member of the Hunting Blades not only will I escort you to town, but I can make sure no one hunts your Pokemon." Karol said and I thought. 'A star member just a minute ago you were beagin Pyroar not to eat you.' I thought looking at Karol. "See that I've even got my own blastia." Karol said showing us his bag. Karol then looked at Yuri and Estelle wrist and my scarff.
"What you guys all have one oh yeah well how dya like this." Karol said getting nervous and pulling out a book. Yuri opened up. "It has information about monsters hm? After a certain point all the pages are blank." Estelle said looking at the book. "That's cause I'm gonna fill it up with piles of monsters after this." Karol said. "Hey wait who said you could just write in there." Karol said to Yuri who was writing in Karols book.
"It might hurt you "star member" status if it got out that you broke your sword." Yuri said to Karol. "Oh that I had to give myself some kinda handicap or else it wouldn't have been a fair fight." Karol said. "Whatever you say Karol." I said to Karol. "Hey this is actually not too bad." Karol said as he started to swing his new axe as we started to walk away.
"Yo do you guys even know where you're going?" Karol asked us. "We are going to Halure which should just outside this forest?" I said to Karol. "Yeah Halure is to the north once you get out of the woods I will show you." Karol said. "I don't want help from a hunter." I said to Karol. "Come on let me prove to you I'm not a bad person Oliver." Karol said. "Come on Oliver give him a chance." Estelle asked me. "Find I will give you a chance, but try anything that will hurt my family and you going to regret it." I said walking way. "I think that's his way of saying ok." Yuri said. "Don't worry Oliver is a kind man, but he doesn't like people messing with his family." Estelle said to Karol. "Don't worry I will show Oliver I'm a friend." Karol said to Yuri and Estelle. "Are you guys coming or not" I said leaving them. "Come on Oliver wait for us." Karol said as the rest of the team chased after me.
NO P.O.V.
Back at the tower the blatia in the broken tower started to glow. That's when a man with long white hair, a red jacket, and gold armor came by. He drew out his sword and in that sword had the middle part of the sword was gone and energy coming out of the ring in the center of the sword with familiar looking stone in it.
He was about to do something when out of the bushes a white dog with black face, claws, a shape tail, a spot on it head, and a scythe attached to his head came out. "What are you?" The white haired man said. The beast just said. "Absol" Staring at the tower. "Did you since this blastia too?" The white haired man asked. "Absol" the beast said nodding its head.
The white haired man raised his sword and disable the blastia. After he did that the beast turned his head. "Is there a difference distortion that way?" The white haired man said to the beast. "Absol" He said before leading the way. "Show me?" The white haired man said following the beast.
