Well here is chapter 32! So here is some great news, this is the last chapter in Ambrette town and the story will now be progressing towards the second gym. I don't plan on spending as long their but doesn't mean their will be no story or character building. Anyways I'm just happy because every area the characters progress the closer I get to writing an arc I've been looking forward to lol. Also this is one of the smaller chapters, but I think that it works out for not dragging out this arc any more.
Anyways I do have a simple question if anyone wants to answer. I know last time I asked some questions no one replied... So I'll make this question easy. I made a new description for this story and I wan't to know which is better the new or old.
Original description
A Umbreon with a tragic background, a Fennekin who is clueless, a Absol who doesn't know how to be polite, a Charmander who is flat out lazy and a Jolteon with a high spirit, Will set off on a Epic journey to get all eight gym badges, but as their Journey goes on an insidious conspiracy will unfold affecting them all. Can they do it? Probably not, but we'll see.
New description
For the past two years of my life all I have known was pain, sorrow and loneliness. Ever since that night I've just given up on life and I felt hollow inside. I eventually met a few pokemon that changed my life in many ways and I could even call them friends. But them knowing me comes at a price as they learn more about me and what I've done and the pokemon that are after me.
Anyways you don't have to answer but if you could answer which description is better I guess i'd owe you a solid lol. Or if anyone would possible be able to help me make a better description that'd possible be better. Anyways thanks again for reading.
Chapter 32: Ambrette Departure
Point of View Hesh
Ebony and I were now discussing our opinion on what we wanted to do about Black's offer on us leaving Ambrette with his team and traveling Kalos with them. I myself really wanted to go but at the same time if Ebony didn't want to go I couldn't just leave the child to fend for herself, it would be immoral.
"So have you put any thought into it" I asked Ebony as she sat on the ground and stared off towards the ocean.
It took her a few seconds before she actually did decide to respond "I don't know if I want to leave" Ebony said.
"Well what's keeping you here" I asked curiously as I sat on the dirt ground next to her and looked off into the distance with her.
"I don't know… I guess I just have a lot of memories here" Ebony said quietly.
"Memories of what" I asked.
Ebony continued looking off towards the ocean as the wind gently blew gently through her brown fur "Memories of growing up here with my sister" she replied, even though she was still
I could understand where she was coming from though. I too grew up here as well. But now I needed a change after all that has happened. "I have a lot of memories here to… I remember when Connor and I were younger we'd always get into trouble doing the dumbest things ever. Pranks, trouble making, being flat out idiot's you name it we were trouble makers back in the day. Eventually Connor did leave and went and started a new life in Geosenge, ever since I haven't really had much holding me here in Ambrette" I said as I reflected back on my late friend.
"Don't you miss him" Ebony said quietly.
"Connor" I asked. Ebony then nodded at me as she finally took her eyes off the ocean and made eye contact with me for the first time in a while. "I do miss him… He was like my brother and to an extent I just still haven't accepted what happened" I said with a sigh. "Whenever I think about it, it just seems like a bad dream" I said as memories flooded my mind.
"I'm sorry" Ebony blurted out as if she did something wrong.
"Sorry For what?" I asked in a confused voice.
"That was insensible of me to ask you" she said in an apologetic voice as she looked at the ground.
"No it's fine, honestly. I'm not going to just act like he never existed. But I'm also not going to sit here and cry over his life either. He would have wanted me to honestly not shed one tear over him" I said with a small reassuring smile. After that we just both began looking back out towards the ocean.
It wasn't for a few minutes until Ebony decided to ask another question "Hesh do you want to go with their team" Ebony asked.
"It'd be nice to leave this town and have something to do" I replied as I thought of what it'd be like to travel the world.
"Then let's go with them" Ebony said with a smile on her face.
My face froze in shock from her sudden out of nowhere answer "A-Are you sure this is what you want" I asked in a shocked voice. Ebony gave a small nod at my confused question and I suddenly felt a bunch of relief from her answer.
"That's great" I replied with a big smile on my face.
It took only around five minutes after Ebony made her choice for Black and Flare to finally show back up. "So did you two come up with a decision" Flare asked with that strange smile that was always on his face.
"Yeah we actually did come up with an answer" I said.
"And you answer is" Black said asked with slight anticipation as he looked at Ebony and I.
"We'll tag along with you guys for now" I said with a smirk on my face.
"Is Ebony okay with that to" Flare asked as he looked at the young eevee.
"I'm fine with it" the eevee said with a faint smile on her face.
"Great then why don't we introduce you to the rest of the team" Flare shouted out loud in excitement.
"Yeah what he said" Black said as he awkwardly stared at the over energetic fennekin.
Flare then began leading us in the direction of the team Ebony and I would be joining. The walk wasn't too long and the only reason it felt like a grind was because I was still tired from waking up not too long ago. Ebony on the other hand didn't look too tired, but she did follow behind the rest of the group in a shy manner.
Once we did arrive to our destination we were outside a normal hotel that looked a little old, but for Ambrette that wasn't new. Then out of the main door of the hotel came a human with blond hair that spiked up a little in the front. He had blue eyes and wore dark blue jeans along with a belt and a blank white t-shirt. The human also appeared to have a backpack on his back with a lot of supplies. One of the details that caught my attention the most was the big welcoming smile on the humans face.
"That's Alex and he's our trainer" Flare said as he looked at me.
Shortly after Alex walked out of the door a few familiar pokemon came out. There was only two pokemon that did come out, an absol who looked tired and a Jolteon that looked like she was in a cheerful mood.
"You must be Hesh and Ebony" My new pokemon trainer said with a big smile on his face as he walked over towards us and knelt down low so he could be as close to eye level with us as possible.
"Nice to meet you" I said politely even though he had no clue what I said.
"I'm glad you two want to join with us and I know we will all accomplish a lot together" Alex said. Alex then noticed the shy looking eevee standing directly behind me as if she was trying to hide.
"You must be Ebony" Alex said with a smile on his face. Ebony then took a few steps forward until she was close to Alex and she then gave a small nod. Alex then put his hand on her head and patted it and he then got up on his two legs.
"Anyways I'm really looking forward to our new partnership and I can't wait to see what we all can accomplish as our team grows larger" Alex said in excitement as he held his hand in a fist and held it up with a big smirk.
"Is he always like this" I asked as I looked over towards Black.
"Yeah, Flare and him are both really energetic almost twenty-four-seven. It's almost abnormal" Black said.
I then looked behind Alex and I saw the Jolteon and the absol walking towards me.
The absol was the first one to speak out of the two once they reached me and Ebony "Well you already know me Hesh so I don't think I need to introduce myself" the absol said.
The Jolteon then took her chance to speak "We already met just not under good circumstances and I don't think I ever got to tell you my name from the little time I have seen you."
"I don't believe so" I replied to the Jolteon.
"My name is Kana" She said with a kind and cheerful voice.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Hesh" I replied. The Jolteon then noticed Ebony sitting away from the group in isolation. She then walked over towards the isolated eevee and stood behind her.
"Hey there, are you Ebony" Kana asked the eevee. Ebony gave a weak and nervous nod.
"Not too good around new pokemon are you" kana asked as she sat down next to Ebony. Ebony again shook her head in response to Kana's question.
"That's fine you'll grow past that as you get to know us. Were all friends here after all" She said with a smile on her face.
Ebony then decided to speak in her quiet timid voice "I remember you from last night when we were all discussing things about team Genesis. Didn't someone call you Kana" Ebony said in a shy voice as I eavesdropped on their conversation.
"Yeah that's my name" Kana said with a smile.
"Alright is everyone ready to leave" Alex said out loud for all of us to here. I then began thinking about whether I truly wanted to leave. Although nothing other than memories bound me down here I still couldn't help but want to stay. Then my dreams of travelling came back into my head and I instantly snapped out of my second thoughts and gave a nod towards Alex to show I was ready.
"Let's head out then" Alex said in his peppy voice. We all then began following Alex towards the exit of Ambrette, which required us to go through an aquarium. It only took us about five minutes to make our way down town and in the aquarium and once we were there we went inside the building.
The inside of the aquarium would look exactly as expected. It was literally just a long hallway's with fish tanks built into the wall along with a circular fish tank in the middle of the room. Everyone stopped walking and took a second to observe the fish pokemon in the tanks.
Black was now staring at a magikarp that was inside the fish tank. He looked rather amused by the fish pokemon. "There it is guys… The most useless pokemon in the world" Black said in amazement.
"Yeah until it turns into a gyarados and obliderates you" Gray said in a slightly rude voice.
"What… a magikarp isn't going to beat me, that ridiculous… even if it evolves into a gyrara or whatever you said… What's that gy fish thing supposed to look like" Black asked in a confused voice.
Gray then gave a frustrated sigh "It's like a very long big serpent… And why the hell am I even bothering to explain this to you" Gray said in annoyance as he turned his head away from Black in a stubborn attitude.
"Hey Hesh I got a question" Black asked me as he looked around at the aquarium as if he was confused.
"What is it" I asked him as I awaited his next question.
"Why in the hell did they make the aquarium the only way to leave this town in this direction" Black asked as he scratched his upper neck with his front right paw.
I then stopped and actually thought of what he said. "Wait… Why did they build an aquarium in middle of the route" I said in a confused voice.
"I know humans really lack common sense" Black said as he continued trying to scratch his upper neck. The umbreon actually looked a little silly as he tried to scratch his upper neck since his body wasn't really structured for his arms to reach their and he was struggling to stretch his arm up to his neck as he awkwardly bent his arm just so he could get the sweet spot.
After around five minutes of everyone spectating the pokemon in the aquarium we were finally ready to leave and we headed out the exit and headed towards route eight. Once we were outside we were on a giant stone staircase that led down to a beach and had a path that followed the coast. Once we reached the bottom of the stone stairs I looked back towards Ambrette one last time as I remembered my memories with Connor and all the friends I've had their along with all the trouble we caused in our youth days. Honestly that town probably hated us back then, yet I still loved this place.
"Goodbye for now home" I said to myself as I looked ahead and tried my hardest not to look back.
Chapter End
Author Note: Well I feel like I accidentally made things take longer in Ambrette then necessary or it felt that ways or maybe you guys like that? Anyways you may have noticed the aquarium scene... Don't ask but their is literally a aquarium built in middle of the route you have to go through in Pokemon X and Y and Black's response was my response when I thought about the logic in that. Anyways it'd be awesome to here some feed back on the Ambrette arc since that segment of the story is over and now a new arc is starting. Thanks to everyone who has review and gave feedback so far. It is awesome hearing all of your opinions and what you thought and I do read every review and not one of them goes unappreciated. The reviews really do sometimes motivate me to write lol. Anyways thanks for reading and I'll have another chapter up when I decide to stop playing dark souls II... (Games addicting I can't stop... so yeah hard to write when addicted lol)
