Chapter 6: Wanted-Pokeballs Dead or Alive


"So we need Pokeballs that's the only thing we don't have"

That was the conclusion Yuki threw at Wes when he told her how to snag a pokemon.

Wes nodded "Yeah I wonder if they sell any here"

Yuki pointed to the shop "Why don't we go find out?"

Wes grunted "right let's go"

They headed into the store and looked around seeing potions, status medicines, and stat enhancer but no Pokeballs.

Wes sighed as he continued to look

Yuki walked over to a clerk "Excuse me do you have any Pokeballs in stock?"

The clerk said "Unfortunely no they haven't been selling so we liquidated them all and sent them outside the desert. There are no Wild Pokemon here so why sell them

A mother like woman came up to them "Although I have heard Rumors that Clip owner of Outskirt Stand still has his stocks"

Wes said "hmm thanks for the information we'll head there. Come on Yuki" He headed out in a rush

"Wait Wes" Yuki ran to follow and caught up with him "where is Outskirt Stand?"

Wes said "It's a diner about 30 miles east of here I ate lunch there"

Yuki said "But how are we going to get there?"

They made it to where Wes had parked his bike and Wes said "We'll ride"

Yuki blinked at the bike "Oh…"

Wes said "I had a passenger car installed for my Eons but you can use it if they don't mind"

Espeon bowed his head slightly "Espeon"

Umbreon followed suit

Yuki said "I think they don't mind at all" She climbed into it and got comfortable "Hmm come on Espeon and Umbreon there plenty of room" she clapped her hand to signal to the duo

Espeon and Umbreon jumped in and laid on top of Yuki lap

Wes smirked "There should be a pair of earmuffs and goggles in the side pocket to protect yourself from the ride" He slid on his goggles

Yuki pulled out the two items from the pocket and put them on. "Hmm Ready"

Wes said "Hang on" He started the engine and the bike lurched forward as the engine activated along with the hover booster on the passenger car

Yuki cried out "Whoa" and hung on

Once they were moving Yuki actually managed to relax and enjoy the ride and about 30 minutes later they arrived at Outskirt Stand and came in to park

Wes pulled up his goggles "well we're here"

Yuki took off her goggles and looked at the place "This is Outskirt Stand?" she asked

Wes said "It's doesn't look like much on the outside but the inside is nice and cool"

Espeon and Umbreon both jumped out and shook their bodies from the trip

Yuki tried to push herself out but was having a little difficultly

Wes noticed this and gently grabbed her hand to assist

Yuki said "Thanks Wes" and got out

Wes showed a small smile "You're welcome"

Espeon was tempted to use his psychic energy to push them a little closer but resisted "Esp Espeon"

Wes said "I'll bet Clip will be surprised that I came back so soon."

"and I be surprised too as well" said a familiar voice as Willie the purple haired rider came over "Yo Wes about two hours ago you were solo and now…" He looks over Yuki "You got yourself a fine looking girl at your side."

Wes did the introduction "Yuki Willie Willie Yuki"

Yuki smiled "Hello"

Willie smiled "nice to meet ya." He then turned serious "Say Wes a couple of shiny heads came by here asking for you by name. I didn't say anything but I heard they were headed over to PhenacCity. I was worried about you man

Wes said "Yeah… I saw them and took care of them."

Yuki said "Wes has been dealing with a lot of thugs lately… First the two that captured me and then three more from Team Snagem

Willie said "I knew it thought they looked familiar" He growled "Good thing I didn't say anything." He quickly turned cheerful "So what brought you back. I know Clip's food's good but it's nothing compared to Phenac."

Wes said "Actually, I heard a bit of a rumor about Clip still having his stocks on Pokeballs"

Willie said "Oh yeah yeah he's got em but without any wild pokemon to catch they haven't been selling.

Wes said "Well I may buy a couple just to have some handy"

Willie looked at Wes with suspicion "hmm…"

Yuki said "What's wrong Willie?"

Willie kept studying Wes "I've been thinking. I've been hearing that a rouge member of Team Snagem took a machine of theirs, then I see three of them looking for you by name and then you want some pokeballs to 'have some handy'… It seems to add up but you just don't got the look."

Wes said "Well appearances can be deceiving."

Willie said "So are you that Rogue Member of Team Snagem"

Wes said "simply put Yes"

Willie said "hmm never would have guessed by appearance alone. So you still going to snag pokemon from trainers" He gripped his fist slightly signaling he doesn't like this

Wes remained calm "Only those that have weird pokemon"

Willie said "Define weird"

Yuki said "Extremely Powerful Pokemon that attack humans without command. Ones that stand out to me because of a strange dark blue slash purple cloud that surrounds them that only I can see."

Willie said "huh that is weird" He smiled slightly "well if I see any I'll let you know"

Wes nodded "Thanks and you mind keeping that information about me on the low down"

Willie said "No problem Wes my lips are zipped" He did the zipper motion across his mouth and smiled

Yuki smiled "Thank you"

Wes and Yuki headed inside Outskirt Stand

Clip came in and saw Wes "Hey there Wes back so soon thought you were going to crash at Phenac?"

Wes said "I was but something came up" He makes a reference to Yuki

Clip noticed Yuki "Howdy Miss I'm Clip owner of this fine joint."

Yuki said "Nice to meet you Clip I'm Yuki. We heard a rumor that you have Pokeballs in stock"

Clip nodded "Yeah got plenty of those even some of the more advanced Great Balls"

Yuki said "You do that's great!"

Clip headed into the back room "They were real cheap" He shouted "so I decided to invest in them in case Wild Pokemon ever made a comeback. But so far I haven't had any customers…"

Wes said "Well you got yourself your first customer how many you got"

Clip looked out and blinked at him "How many you want"

Yuki said "Well we only really need one right now…"

"But you never know Yuki" A voice said from behind them "You may need a lot more if you really saw the big picture"


HMM Mysterious Voice and Big Picture... hmm sounds like someone knows what's up maybe he can guide the heroes
