Sorry for the late post, School finally restarted and they gave us a lot of homework to do. Now onto chapter 17.
Chapter 17
A Day in the Cold Cave
Oliver P.O.V.
We ran as fast as we could to get that thief Regaey. During the run we returned Doublade, Delphox, and Roserade, to their Pokeballs. "No sign of him so far." Rita said to us as we entered a cave. "Do you think he went this way?" Estelle asked Rita. "Probably there's no other way to cross the mountains around here." Hugo said to everyone. "Then he has to be in here." I said to Hugo. "But this cave is the Weasand of Cados." Karol said to everyone. "The what?" I asked Karol. A powerful monster called Pteropus lives here. It's supposed to be really dangerous. Or at least that's what Nan told me." Karol said to me.
"Then we have nothing to worry about." I said to Karol. "What are you talking about?" Karol asked me. "Nan probably told you that so you go running away." I said to Karol. "But what she said was true?" Karol asked me. "Nan's information is probably from Hunting blades that took on Pteropus alone and were not alone so I'm sure we can handle it." I said to Karol. "But if a monster like that lives in this cave. Why would he go this way?" Ava asked everyone. "Perhaps he went inside without knowing that." Judith said to Ava while Repede went in.
"Who cares, let's just find Regaey." Ava said as Repede barked. "What is it Repede?" I asked Repede as he dragged Regaey out of his hiding spot. "W-w-w-wait. Please-let me go." Regaey said to us. "After everything you did. Now what." I said to Regaey. "Looks like he was hiding out here hoping we'd just pass him by." Yuri said to everyone. "Well now let's have a nice long chat." Raven said to everyone as he clapped his hands. "Yes a very, very long chat." I said cracking my knuckles.
"What were you trying to gain, setting us up like that back at the coliseum?" Yuri asked Regaey. "And give that case!" Rita said to Regaey. "You leave m-me no choice." Regaey said as three Leviathan's Claw assassins came out of nowhere. "Leviathan's Claw?!" Estelle said as everyone but Hugo drew their weapons. "Who are these guys?" Hugo asked me. "Thugs that have been trying to kill us." I said to Hugo. "They try to do what?" Hugo said with rage in his eyes. Then the assassins charged at them. But before we could do anything Hugo charged at them.
The first thing Hugo did was punch one of the Leviathan's Claw assassins in his face. Then another one of them charged at him. Hugo dodged him by ducking and sliding to the right. Then Hugo kicked him in the back of his legs with his blades before getting up and punching him to the ground. Finally the last one fired an arrow at him. But Hugo dodged the arrow and cut it with his blades. Then he charged at the man slashed across his chest, finishing the last Leviathan's Claw assassins. "Is everyone ok." Hugo asked as if he didn't do anything.
"Since when can you do that?" Ava asked Hugo. "Belius is a good teacher." Hugo said to us. "I hate to intrude, but Regaey got away." Rita said pointing forward. All of us then looked forward to seeing Regaey. "Guess this means Ruins' Gate and Leviathan's Claw are connected." Yuri said to us. "Looks like it." I said to Yuri. "So they pretend to help with the excavations, then swipe materials and sell them later, huh? I'll make them pay… I swear…" Rita said, holding back her rage.
"How could a guild as famous and renowned as Ruins' Gate do something like that?" Karol asked us. "Sometimes it's hard to resist the temptation of money." I said to Karol as Judith and Vibrava started to move into the cave. "Judith, Vibrava, wait!" Karol said to Judith and Vibrava. "He'll get away if we don't hurry." Judith said to us. "She's right, let's move." I said to everyone. "Remember what I said? There's a really nasty moneter living in there." Karol said to us. "And I told you that your information comes from a mean girl who's friends attack big monsters by themselves. I'm sure our large team can handle anything." I said to Karol.
"Hey, whaddya we call it a day? Old Raven can't afford ta get too far from Nordopolica without getting this letter to Belius. The Don'll hit me with another one of his thankless jobs otherwise." Raven said to us. "Well I'm going after him. I can't let somebody like that just do whatever with the blastia he takes from the ruins! And I'm gonna get that case back, too!" Rita said to us. "I… I'm going too!" Estelle said to Rita. "What are you talking about you're staying put here." Rita said to Estelle. "I'm not." Estelle said to Rita.
"Hah. this doesn't sound like something Brave Vesperia can very well pass up." Yuri said to me. "Then here's the plan. Raven, you go back to Nordopolica with Drilbur and Stableye. And the rest of us will go after Regaey. "Sounds like a plan let's move people." Hugo said as everyone but Raven, Drilbur, and Stableye started to move.
"Sure you'll be alright without the Great Raven?" Raven asked me, Ava, and Yuri. "I think so. Good luck delivering the letter." Yuri said to Raven. "See you when we get back." I said to Raven. "I won't miss you." Ava said to Raven as we left him. "Jeez aren't ya even gonna try ta stop me from leaving'?" Raven asked us. "No." Ava said to Raven. "Wait up." Raven said as he went after us.
We walked for a few minutes until we heard something crying. "What is that?" Estelle asked me. "I don't know, let's look around and stay on your guard. It could be a trap." I said to everyone. They all nodded their heads yes before we split up. "Found it." Karol said to us after a few minutes of searching. Soon we all gathered around Karol who was in front of a cave with a small yellow Pokemon with red eyes, black hair, and a giant ponytail with a mouth hiding in it. "What is it?" Karol asked me. "It's a Mawile." I said to Karol. "A Mawile?" Estelle said, pioning the Pokedex at Mawile.
Mawile
The Deceiver Pokemon
Steel / Fairy
It chomps with its gaping mouth. Its huge jaws are actually horns that have been transformed.
"It said it's a girl." Estelle said putting the Pokedex away. "Karol you should go see if it's ok." Hugo said to Karol. "Me why not one of you three." Karol said to me, Ava and Hugo. "Karol that Pokemon is like you. she's scared, she's small, and she has a big weapon just like you. I know you can help her." Hugo said to Karol. "Ok I'll try." Karol said as he went in. "Hello I'm Karol." Karol said to Mawile. "Mawile." Mawile said, shaking her head trying to scare Karol away. "Hey hey it's ok I'm not going to hurt you." Karol said to Mawile. "Mawile." Mawile said as she bit Karol with her ponytail.
"AAAH." Karol Screamed in pain. "Karol." Estelle said as Skiddo ran into the cave. "Wait." Hugo said to us before we could go in. "Skiddo." Skiddo said to Karol. "I'm ok Skiddo." Karol said to Skiddo. "Skiddo ski ski skiddo." Skiddo said to Mawile. "Mawile ma ma mawile." Mawile said to Skiddo. "What are they doing?" Rita asked me. "Their taking." I said to Rita. "Skiddo." Skiddo said to Mawile. "Mawile." Mawile said as she slowly started to move. "Yeah that's it we won't hurt you." Karol said as we finally got a good look at her.
Then I noticed a scare over her left eye and then it hit me. "That's why she was scared." I said to everyone as Karol, Skiddo and Mawile came out of the cave, but Mawile hid behind Skiddo. "What are you talking about?" Estelle asked me. "Mawile was hurt by people. That's why she was hiding." I said to everyone. "What do you mean?" Yuri asked me. "You see that scare on her face. A human probably did that and when she saw us we must have brought back those painful memories. So she ran into the cave to hide." I said to Yuri.
"Why would a person hurt a Pokemon?" Estelle asked me. "You make it sound like there's no such thing as a bad person." Ava said to Estelle. "Yeah Estelle the three of us have seen plenty of bad trainers and people in our lives. The same can be said for Pokemon. Some Pokemon are just jerks." Hugo said to Estelle. "You can't have good without bad." I said to Hugo. "Bingo." Hugo said to me. "What can we do with her?" Raven asked us. "I want her to come with us." Karol said to us.
"Why Karol." Hugo asked Karol. "I want to show her that not all humans are bad." Karol said to us. "What do you three think?" Yuri asked Me, Ava, and Hugo. "It's not up to us it's up to Mawile." Hugo said to Yuri. "Why don't you ask her Karol." Ava said to Karol. "Ok I will." Karol said before turning to Mawile. "You think this will work?" Ava whispered to me. "Maybe? Depends on what Karol saids." I whispered to Ava.
"Hey Mawile I don't know what happened to you, but I'm sorry that it happened to you. But I want to show you not all humans are bad." Karol said to Mawile. But Mawile did stay behind Skiddo. "Look you don't have to fight or do anything you don't want to. But just come with us and see that not all humans are bad." Karol said to Mawile. "Mawile?" Mawile asked Skiddo. "Skiddo." Skiddo said to Mawile. "Mawile." Mawile said to Karol nodding her head yes.
"So you'll come with us." Karol asked Mawile. "Mawile." Mawile said to Karol nodding her head yes. "Ok and don't worry you don't have to fight if you don't want to and you can ride Skiddo. You probably feel safer if you're with him." Karol said to Mawile. "Skiddo." Skiddo said to Mawile as he got down so she could get on his back. Nervously, Mawile got on his back and held onto his honrs. Then Skiddo got up and ran to the other Pokemon trying to make Mawile feel safe. "Not bad Karol. Ok everyone let's go we have to find that thief Regway." I said to everyone after I placed a hand on Karol's shoulder. Then we started to walk again.
During the walk Mawile and the Pokemon started to bond when we heard something. "Phew." a voice said. "Now what?" I said looking around for the source of the voice. "You heard that too?" Raven asked me. "Right here!" the voice said to us. Then Karol screamed again. Then I turned my head to see Patty climbing over some rooks. "Wait! Patty?" Karol said as Everyone finally noticed Patty. "Ah. We meet again." Patty said to us. "I told you, you could travel with us. We always seem to run into each other." I said to Patty.
"You sure pop up in the weirdest of places. Still looking for Aifread's treasure?" Yuri asked Patty. "Aye that I am." Patty said to Yuri. "Hey, what kind of treasure is it, anyway?" Karol asked Patty. "Prepare to have yer socks blown off! It's the Maris Stella!" Patty said to us, turning away from us. "The Maris what? Rita, Estelle, do you two know what that is?" I asked Rita and Estelle. "I have no idea?" Rita said to me. "Uhm… I, uh, I'm not sure." Estelle said to me.
"Wow, even our walking encyclopedia hasn't heard of it." Karol said looking at Estelle. "Then is it real?" Ava asked everyone. No one said anything. Inside we all looked at Patty. Patty just stood there for a few seconds before tuning to us. "Out of all of Aifread's treasures, the Maris Stella is the most precious!" Patty said to us. "Well, has anyone found it yet?" Yuri asked Patty. "They're called treasures precisely because they're hard to find!" Patty said to us.
"You're a weirdo." Rita said to Patty. "Speaking of weirdo where's Cramerant?" Ava asked Patty. "He's back there. I dropped one of my kabobs in the water and he went after it." Patty said pointing to some rocks. Then Cramerant started to fly to us with something pink in its mouth. "Oh no." I said looking at Cramerant. "Cramerant what's that?" Patty asked Cramerant. "Cramerant?" Cramerant said his mouth was still full and wondering what Patty was talking about. "Spit it out." Patty said to Cramerant. "Cramerant." Cramerant then spat out the pink thing and it landed on her chest.
The thing was a Pokemon with a small pink body, big while lips, white eyes, white nells and a white tip on its tail. "A Slowpoke?" I said looking at the Pokemon. "A what?" Patty asked me. "Slowpoke another odd Pokemon." I said to Patty. "Slowpoke?" Estelle said looking it up in the Pokedex.
Slowpoke
The Dopey Pokemon
Water / Psychic
It's long tail often breaks off. It doesn't really feel any pain, though and the tail grows back, so Slowpoke isn't particularly bothered.
"It's saids it's a girl. But what's it doing in Cramerants mouth?" Estelle asked me while putting the Pokedex away. "The kabobs Patty drop must have landed on Slowpoke's head and when Cramerant went to eat it he probably ate Slowpoke too, but since Slowpoke was too big she just got stuck in her mouth and both of them didn't care." I said to Estelle. "Is it weird that I believe that." Rita said to me. "Probably not." I said to Rita.
"Well it's time to go Slowpoke." Patty said, putting Slowpoke down. One Slowpoke was on the ground, she did nothing. "You can go." Patty said to Slowpoke. Again she did nothing. Patty then picks her up and walks a few feet away. "Go." Patty said before turning around and walking away. Then Patty walked to us. "Aw Patty." I said to Patty while pointing down. Then Patty turned around and saw Slowpoke right behind her.
"What up with that Slowpoke?" Rita asked me. "I don't know, maybe she likes Patty." I said to Patty. "What should we do with Slowpoke?" Karol asked me. "I guess she's going with us." I said to Karol. "Really more Pokemon." Rita asked me. "It's not like we have a choice. I'm sure Slowpoke will follow her no matter what we do." I said to Rita. "I'm fine with it. It will be nice to have more crew mates. What do you two think." Patty said to Cramerant and Slowpoke. Nothing said nothing, they just stared at her. "Weird Pokemon for a weird person." Rita said looking at Rita. "RITA!" I yelled at Rita.
"Anyway, I heard in Nordopolica that You're Aifread's granddaughter. Is that true?" Karol asked Patty. "Yeah I wonder how the Don would react if he found out his sworn ally had a granddaughter." Raven said to Patty. "Now that you mention it, the Don and Aifread were friends since before the Union was formed, weren't they?" Estelle asked Raven and Ava. "Yes, but after the Incident, Aifread disappeared, no one has seen him in years. At least that what's the Don told me." Ava said to Estelle.
"But hey… you're lying, right? About being Aifread's granddaughter. I mean, you never said anything about that before." Karol said to Patty. "It's the truth! I think" Patty said to us. "You think?" Hugo asked Patty. "What do you mean?" Estelle asked Patty. "I mean I'm speculating." Patty said to Estelle. "Estellle's asking why you would claim someone's your grandfather based on just speculation!" Rita said walking to Patty. "Rita back off." Hugo said to Patty. "What why?" Rita asked Hugo. "If Patty said her grandpa is Aifread that is good enough for me." Hugo said to Rita.
"But she's just speculating. She doesn't even know that she is Aifread's granddaughter." Rita said to Hugo. "Patty can you remember any memories with Aifread in them?" I asked Patty. "No." Patty said to us. "Why not?" Ava asked Patty. "Oh… well, that's because I have Amnesia." Patty said shocking everyone. "Am-." Karol said. "-nesia?" Rita said, finishing Karol's word. "Yep!" Patty said to us. "Then you don't know for sure whether you really are Aifread's granddaughter?" Raven asked Patty. "There's no doubt it's true! I think." Patty said to Raven.
"Argh, come on! Make up your mind! Which is it?" Rita asked Patty. "It doesn't matter." Hugo said to everyone. "What do you mean?" Estelle asked Hugo. "It doesn't matter whether or not Patty is Aifread's granddaughter. Patty is a friend and you always have your friends back." Hugo said to Estelle. "What are you talking about?" Rita asked Hugo. "It doesn't matter if your parents were the best or the worst people in the world. You decide who you are and what you do. And if Patty said her grandpa is Aifread. Well then she's Aifread's granddaughter." Hugo said to Rita.
"That makes no sense. You make no sense. You need facts or proof for it to be real. But you can't prove anything because she doesn't even know herself." Rita said to Hugo. "It's because I don't know! I'm searching for the Maris Stella because I don't know!" Patty said to everyone. "So basically, to get your memories back, you want to meet Aifread, a guy who might be your gramps. And to find him, you're looking for that Maris Stella treasure? That sound about right?" Yuri asked Patty.
"Aye. someday I'll meet my grandpa." Patty said, turning away from us. "But." Karol said but was interrupted by Hugo. "That's enough Karol if it's her dream to find Aifread. Then we should support her. She is our friend after all." Hugo said to Karol. "On a more urgent subject, shouldn't we be going after the red box?" Judith said to us. "Oh right let's move people." I said to everyone. Then we started to run "Come on Patty." Hugo said to Patty as they started to run after us. "Hey why is Patty coming with us?" Rita asked Hugo, making us stop. "I was planning on going this way, anyway." Patty said to Rita. "And their safety in numbers." Hugo said to Rita.
"This isn't like going shopping, you know?" Yuri said to Patty and Hugo. "I know that. If something happens, I'll help out." Patty said to Yuri. "Well, aren't you helpful!" Judth said to Patty. "I hate to intrude on a good bonding section, but Regaey." Ava said to everyone. "Right let's go." I said as we started to run again.
After a few minutes we finally found Regaey in front of a path that was covered by water. "Regaey!" I said. "Aah." Regeay screamed as he ran across the water. Then once he got to the other side the water started to glow red. "Aaah! H-heeelp!" Regaey said as he fell to the ground. "What is that?" Patty asked us. "Aer?" Estelle said looking at the mess in front of us. "This is just like at Keiv Moc! Is there an aer krene here, too?" Rita said to us. "If there is it's probably in the water cause I can't find it anywhere else." I said looking around the cave. "What do we do?" Raven asked us.
"Me, Ava, and Hugo will go get that box and the rest of you stay here." I said to everyone. "Oliver are you crazy we can't walk through that." Ava said to me. "Yes we can aer has no effect on us." I said as I jumped into aer. "See I'm fine." I said to Ava. "How?" Ava asked Hugo. "Maybe because we come from a world where aer doesn't exist, so are bodies aren't affected like theirs." Hugo said to Ava while pointing to everyone else.
"C-can't I get a break." Regaey said to us. "Not a chance Regaey. Now hand over the box, you thief." I said to Regaey. Then Regaey started to run, but was cut off by more of the aer that started to overflow. "Nowhere to run now." I said to Regaey. But before I could charge Hugo grad me and force me back to the group. "What was that for?" I asked Hugo. "Don't you feel that." Hugo said to me. Then I felt something shaking. "W-what's this sh-shaking?" Regaey said as, a giant monster came out of nowhere.
The monster had four legs with claws on it. A tail with a blade on it. Wings with sharp blades on it. Two four smaller wings. And it had a bird-like head. "Looks like we have a fight on our hands." I said to everyone. "Is that the monster you were talking about, Karol?" Yuri asked Karol. N-no… I've never seen a monster like that before." Karol said to Yuri while hiding behind me. "Doesn't matter, just get ready to fight." I said reaching for my weapons. "Wait." Hugo said to me, stopping me from drawing my weapons. "What? Why?" I asked Hugo.
Then the monster started to eat the Aer. "That's why." Hugo said to me. "It ate the aer?" Rita said to everyone. "I-I can't move." Estelle said to us. "Oh no." Rita said to us. "This might be it." I said to everyone. But the monster just stayed at us for a few seconds. Until it flew away. "What just happened?" Ava asked me. "I have no idea." I said to Ava as Regaey got up and started to run again. "You're not getting away again!" Judith said as she started to run. "Judith wait. Rita is it safe for us to cross?" I asked Rita while stopping Judith.
Rita didn't say anything, but walked into the water and looked down. "Don't worry. It's not harmful at its current density." Rita said to us. "What the hell just happened?" Raven asked us. "I don't know. Rita got any ideas?" I asked Rita as I noticed two big yellow crystals at the bottom of the water. "The monster we just saw somehow normalized the aer krene that was out of control. But that would mean that it can control the aer. Could it be the same thing that guy did with his sword back in Keiv Moc?" Rita said to herself.
"Can we pass through it? Rita!" Yuri asked Rita. "Yeah we have to move." I said to Rita. "Oh, uh, r-right. It should be okay." Rita said to us. "Alright! Charge!" Patty said to us. "You heard the lady." Hugo said as he and Patty started to charge. "Ah, Patty, Hugo, please be careful!" Estelle said to Hugo and Patty.
"What's the matter?" Judith asked Rita. "I have to figure this out. I mean, this is what I'm traveling for." Rita said to us. "Come on, Rita." Yuri said to Rita. "Yeah we can come back later. It's not going anywhere and Regaey is getting away." I said to Rita. "I know, I know. We have to follow him but I just." Rita said to us. "Hey once we get the box back we can come back." Ava said to Rita. "Right okay let's go." Rita said to us. "Karol,are you okay?" Yuri asked Karol. I then turned around to see Karol, who was tired and trying to catch his breath.
"Karol are you ok?" I asked Karol. "Y-yeah. Peachy. No, really, I'm fine." Karol said as he stood up. "Guys, come on we have to catch that thief." Hugo said to us. "Right let's move everyone." Ava said to everyone as we started to walk. "That monster's power. Was that the Rizomata Formula too?" Rita said to herself. "Rita let's move." I said to Rita. Then Rita started to run to us.
We chase Regaey for a few minutes until a large group of bats stop him. "There he is!" Karol said when we reached Regaey. "B-b-but how did you?" Regaey said to us. Then Repede charged at Regaey. With a single motion Repede knocked the box out of Regaey's hands and knocked it back to us. "Got it." I said as I catched the box. "Good work Repede. Looks like our little game of tag is over, Regaey." Yuri said to Regaey. "Heh. n-n-now… I'll have to show you my really real power!" Regaey said to us. Then a blinding purple came from Regaey.
Once the light died down Yeager was standing in the same spot that Regaey was in. "No way!" Karol said to us. "Yeager! Yeager? Yeager? Regaey? Regaey? Regaey! OH COME ON! HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THAT SOONER!" I yelled while slapping my face. "What is it Oliver?" Karol asked me. "It's been Yeager the whole time." I said to Karol. "How do you know that?" Karol asked me. "Regaey is literally Yeager spelled backwards." I said to Karol.
"Huh. so that's what's been going on." Yuri said to Yeager. "What does this mean? Was he disguising himself as Regaey?" Estelle asked us. "Looks like it." I said to Estelle. "I don't think we have time to worry about the particulars right now." Judith said to us. "Oh me oh my, how terribly frightening. I don't know what I'd do if I were to end up like poor Ragou." Yeager said to us. "What do you mean? What happened to him?" Estelle asked Yeager while me, Ava, and Bisharp looked at each other.
"They found his body-face in a riverbed back in Dahngrest. I just couldn't bear it if I ended up like that, you know." Yeager said to us, surprising everyone but me, Yuri, Ava and Bisharp. "Ragou is… Dead? But why?" Estelle asked Yeager. "Afraid that's not for me to say. Nein, my lips are zipped up tight for sure." Yeager said to us before walking to the group of bats. "Oh… not that way!" Estelle said to Yeager. Then Gauche with a sword in her right hand and Droite with a sword in her left hand came out of nowhere. "Yeager!" Gauche said to Yeager. "Ta-dah, the reinforcements have arrived!" Droite said to us.
"Gauche. Droite. The rest I leave up to you." Yeager said to Gauche and Droite. "As you wish." Gauche said to Yeager. "Asy aye sir." Dorite said to Yeager with a musical tune. Then they started to attack the group of bats while Yeager ran away. "He's getting away!" Karol said to us. "Not on my watch!" Yuri said as he charged at Yeager. "See you in the funny papers, leibchen!" Yeager said as the bats started to form into the shape of a giant bat. Then dark energy started to form around the large bat. Soon the bat sended out a pulse of energy sending Gauche and Drotie flying into the wall.
"That's him! It's Pteropus!" Karol said to us as we drew our weapons. Then Pteropus charged at us. "Scatter." I said to everyone. Soon we all ran to different sections. Then Pteropus split and started to attack us. "Audino uses Dazzling Gleam." Estelle said to Audino. "Audino." Audino said as she made a blinding light. Soon all the bat's were blinded by the lights. "Shuppet use Knock Off and force one to the ground. And Bisharp used Metal Claw with me and while finishing it." Yuri said to his Pokemon. "Shuppet." Shuppet said as he knocked one of the bats down. "Let's go Bisharp." Yuri said as he charged at the bat. "Bisharp." Bisharp said as a sharp silver blade came out of his arm and he followed Yuri.
But before they could strike the largest of the bats roared and they all flew to the Largest bat reforming their giant bat form. "Now we know why it's so strong. Pteropus can split and reform to dodge attacks." I said to everyone. "Then how can we beat it?" Karol asked me. "Just keep fighting. Stableye use Shadow Claw and Drilbur use Metal Claw." Raven said as he shot a few arrows at Pteropus. "Sableye." Stableye said as charged at Pteropus with his claws wrapped in purple energy. "Drilbur." Drilbur said as he charged at Pteropus with his claws became sliver. But again Pteropus slipit and dodge their attacks.
"Vibrava uses Rock Slide." Judith said to Vibrava as she tried to stab a few of the bats with her spear. "Skiddo you use Rock Slide as well." Karol said as he started to swing his hammer around trying to hit the bats. "Vibrava/ Skiddo." Vibrava and Skiddo said as rock started to fall from the sky. The bats were unaffected by the rocks and dodge easley. "Well that didn't work. Togetic use Air Slash." Estelle said as she blocked the attack of one of the bats. "Togetic." Togetic said firing two blades of wind out of her wings. But the wind blades missed the bats when they reformed again.
"Metang uses Psychic and forces them to stay together. Duosion helped me take it out with Pyshock." Rita said as she charged up a fireball attack. "Metang." Metang said, as he focused his psychic energy around Pteropus keeping it from splitting. While Rita and Dousion charged up their attacks. But before they could launch their attacks Pteropus launched a large sound wave at Metang breaking his focus and letting him split just in time to dodged all of Rita and Dousion's attacks.
"Cramerant use Drill Peck." Patty said, as she tried to stab and shoot some of the bats with her knife and her pistol but they reformed again. "Cramerant." Cramerant said as he started to spin trying to hit the giant bat but they split again. "Slowpoke." Slowpoke said as she fired streams of water out of her mouth. "What is that attack?" Estelle asked me. "That's a Water Gun, but it's not helping." I said to Estelle.
"What's it going to take to beat this thing." Ava said, trying to shoot the bats with a few of her arrows. "I don't know." I said swinging my maces around. "There got to be something that hurt these bats." Hugo said, trying to punch the bats. Then one of the bats started to charge at Karol. "Karol watch out." I said to Karol.
Karol then turned the attacking bat. But before the bat could strike Mawile bite it with her ponytail. Then a cold cloud came from her ponytail. Mawile then threw the bat at our feet. "Thanks Mawile." Karol said to Mawile. "Mawile." Mawile said hiding her face in Skiddo fur. "Guys look at this." Hugo said to us. Then me and Ava noticed that bat was asleep. "That attack must have been Ice Fang." Ava said to me while Hugo's finished the bat. "The cold must put them to sleep." I said to Ava. "You two think what I'm thinking?" Hugo asked me and Ava. "Yep." Ava said as we picked one of our Pokeballs. "Guys it's about to get really cold in here. Go Aurorus." I said letting Aurorus out. "Come on out Mamoswine we need your help." Hugo said letting his Pokeball out. "Avalugg let's show these bats how we do things." Ava said, letting her Pokeball out.
"Aurorus." Aurorus said as she got out of her Pokeball. Then a giant pokemon with a big white tusk, brown fur, a lot of hair around its nose, and a blue and while mask around its eyes. "Mamoswine." The Pokemon said as it got out of its Pokeball. Than an iceberg with a flat top, four legs with sharp spikes on its legs, and a smaller iceberg looking head with a flat top. "Avalugg." The Pokmeon said as it got out of its Pokeball. "What are those Pokemon?" Estelle said looking them up
Mamoswine
The Twin Tusk Pokemon
Ice / Ground
It looks strong, and that's exactly what it is. As the weather grows colder, its ice tusks grow longer, thicker, and more impressive.
Avalugg
The Iceberg Pokemon
Ice
As Avalugg moves about during the day, the cracks in its body deepen. The Pokemon's body returns to a pristine state overnight.
"It said they were both boys." Estelle said putting the Pokedex away. "Ok Mamoswine, let's freeze these bat's with Blizzard." Hugo said to Mamoswine. "Avalugg try to hit as many bats as you can with Icicle Spear." Ava said to Avalugg. "And Aurorus helps them with Ice Beam." I said to Aurorus. "Mamoswine/ Avalugg/ Aurorus." They all said before they all started to attack.
Soon a snow storm came out of Mamoswine mouth and started to fill the room. This made the bat's slower and easier to head with. Then Avalugg started to fire small spears of ice at the now slow bats. Some of the bats dodged the ice spears but some got an Ice spear through their chest killing them. Aurous then fired a beam of ice at a few of the bats freezing them in a block of ice. Then those bats started to fall on top of a few of the other bats and killed them. Then the giant bat roared and the remaining bats flew to him to reform a smaller vision of their giant bat form.
"Ok let's finish this with Hyper Beam." I said to Aurorus. "AURORUS!" Aurorus roared as she fired a giant blue at Pteropus. The attack hit Pteropus, destroying the large bat and making the rest of the bats fall on the ground. "I'm glad that worked." I said looking at all the bats. "Ok everyone let's finish this." Ava said as we all started to kill the bats. While we did that I saw Estelle walking over to Gauche and Droite who were struggling to get out. "Estelle what are you doing?" I asked Estelle. "I have to help them. "We need no succor from our enemies." Gauche said to Estelle. You're not gonna make fools of us." Droite said to Estelle.
"But, with those injuries!" Estelle said to them. "Let us withdraw." Gauche said to Droite while trying to get away from Estelle. "Bye bye for now." Droite said to us. "Wait." I said to them, making them stop. "You need help let Estelle heal you." I said to them. "We don't need you." Gauche said to me. "Yeah we have Yeager." Droite said to me. "Yeager left you to die. He's not a good person." I said to them. "It doesn't matter." Gauche said to me. "We'll never leave Yeager." Droite said to me. Then they threw two big smoke bombs at their feet and disappeared.
"Man this stink where'd this smoke come from?" Yuri asked me. "They threw some smoke bombs." I said to Yuri. Then Repede started sniffing around trying to find them but got nothing. "They're throwing' our canine friend here off their scent." Raven said to us. "As long as we put up with the smell we'll be fine." Patty said to us. "Or we can wait a few seconds for the smoke to clear." Hugo said to Patty. "Like that." I said to everyone. "We're going after them!" Yuri said to us. "Yes just give them a minute." Ava said to Yuri. "what are you talking about?" Yuri asked Ava.
Then we all turned to see Mamoswine, Avalugg, and Aurorus cuddling together. "Ah that cute." Estelle said to us. "What are they doing?" Rita asked me. "They're saying high to each other." Hugo said to Rita. "Why?" Karol asked Hugo. "Believe it or not these three are really close. Almost like their brothers and sister." Ava said to everyone. "Why?" Rita asked me. "Mamoswine and Avalugg like cold temps when they were little and Aurorus has always made cold air. So they would alway hang out together. And as they get older they just keep getting closer and closer. And now they're a family." I said to Rita.
"I hate to break up a touching family moment but we need to go." Yuri said to us. "Right come on guys let's go." I said to Mamoswine, Avalugg, and Aurorus. "Mamoswine/ Avalugg/ Aurorus." They all said as we started to move forward.
We walked for a few minutes until Mamoswine, Avalugg, and Aurorus suddenly stopped. "What wrong?" I asked Mamoswine, Avalugg, and Aurorus. "Aah wh-what is with this heat?" Rita said as I noticed a bright warm light. "We've passed through the caverns and come out on the other side of the mountains." Patty said to us. "So you mean." Karol asked Patt. "Those are the Sands of Kogorh." Judith said to us. "Whoa. we made it all the way there?" Raven said to us. "A little earlier than I planned, but it looks like it." I said to Raven.
"The Sands of Kogorh. Phaeroh's here." Yuri said to us. "I… I'm going on to meet Phaeroh." Estelle said to us. "Wait! We can't just let you go alone. I mean. Our job right now is to protect you." Karol said to Estelle. "Yeah what kind of rep would Brave Vesperia have if we leave you." I said to Estelle. "Well. We did get the stolen box back. Right?" Raven asked everyone. "Yeah I guess we can't just keep chasing him around. Hmm all right. We'll take care of 'em next time." Yuri said to us. "Then let's go." I said to everyone.
"Hold on. Are you seriously going? Do you know what you're saying? This is a desert. It's hot people die here, get it?" Rita said to Estelle. "I'm ready for it… I think…" Estelle said to Rita. "Relax Rita, me, Oliver, and Ava, have walked across a few deserts in our lives." Hugo said to RIta. "Judith, what do you know about The Sands of Kogorh?" I asked Judith.
"The Desert is divided into three regions." Judith said to us. "Tell us more about the regions?" I asked Judith. "The foothills to the west, the center where it's the hottest, and massive peaks to the east." Judith said to us. "H-hey hold on." Rita said, trying to stop Judith. "There's a town between the end of the western foothills and the central area. It should be a hour of walking from here." Judith said to us. "Where did you hear that?" Rita asked Judith.
"I went there with a friend once. It's a nice town built up around an oasis." Judith said to us. "We'll hold off on any major decisions until we get there, then." Yuri said to everyone. "Agree we can sleep there for the night and decide where to go in the morning." I said as everyone but Rita nodded their heads in agreement. "Sounds good to me. Old Raven won't be able ta think straight till he cools off." Raven said to us.
"What are you going to do Patty? What's that treasure you're searching for? Maris Stella. Was it? Well I can't guarantee you'll find any clues in that town though." Karol said to Parry. "Don't worry. As long as there are people, I'm sure there'll be clues." Patty said to Karol. "Well there are people living there." Judith said to Patty. "Then I'll be joining you." Patty said to Judith. "Rita?" Estelle asked Rita. "I know, we'll make that our first destination." Rita said to us.
"Ok then let's move everyone. Return Avalugg." Ava said to everyone while returning Avalugg to his Pokeball. "Yeah it's two hot for you guys. So return Mamoswine." Hugo said to Aurorus and Mamoswine, while returning Mamoswine to his Pokeball. "Aurorus." Aurorus said, nuzzling me. "You know he's right, but don't worry you guys can play around later after we're done with the Sands of Kogorh. Now return Aurorus." I said to Aurorus before returning her to her Pokeball.
After all of the Pokemon we're in their Pokeballs we started to walk out of the cave and the second we got out the temperature skyrocketed from nice cold to blazing heat. "Well this is going to be a long walk." I said to myself while covering my eyes with my arm. Then we started our walk to town trying their best to move as fast as they can. But I wonder what we're going to do tomorrow. After all, we have five days until the new moon and we are here earlier than planned. But whatever we do I know we will do it together.
