Chapter 11: The Curse of Nobody and Ice!
Sora smiled as Cassie went back to town to get her Pokemon healed. The two had talked for a bit, and Cassie had said that there were some pretty tough Pokemon ahead of them before she had departed and left them to their adventure.
"This should be good, right Sora?" asked Niji, petting Destiny, Hiro and Ben back in their pokeballs on her belt. Sora nodded, then turned to Dawn, who was holding Piplup and waiting for them by the entrance to the cave that separated Jubilife City from Oreburgh Town. As they approached, Dawn smiled, waving to them.
"hey you two! Ready to get going? We are gonna have to get through this cave by nightfall!" she said, seeming a little impatient.
"OK, OK! we're coming!" Niji said, walking up to her, followed by Sora. Both smiled as they hugged their friend, then nodded, and as one, stepped into the cave.
Meanwhile, deeper inside the cave, a young boy of maybe 19, with icy blonde hair, and piercing emerald green eyes that pierced the soul. His skin was pale, as if he didn't go outside very often. He wore a black t-shirt, with a black jacket over it. His pants were black as well, with an icy blue belt holding them up. His hands were covered in black gloves with blue trim, and his shoes were blue with black trim. A sea blue bandana covered his neck and lower face, hiding his nose and mouth as he looked around. Beside him stood, or rather, floated, a beautiful Frosslass. She sparkled as the light of his flashlight touched her. Adorned on her head was a country Belle's hat, which seemed to fit her appropriately. She floated beside her trainer, looking around curiously as they walked along.
"careful, Belle...this cave is supposed to be filled with some nasty pokemon.." he said softly, without moving his mouth. She nodded, giving only a soft sigh as she followed him. She loved her trainer dearly, but sometimes he was just too cautious. She said nothing, however, and continued to float around, watching the ground and air around her turn frosty and iced over. She always had that effect, being an Ice type, and she liked it. The cold helped her focus, and also kept her healthy, so that she didn't get sick. With each step, they left a trail of ice..which attracted the attention of a Seviper that soon started following them. Its eyes were dark and primal at the thought of prey.
Sora shivered suddenly as they walked along the cave route, suddenly a little on edge as he looked around, fingers twitching to summon Oblivion once more. Both girls noticed this as they followed him, Dawn looking around as well, while Niji focused on not losing her courage. She didn't like dealing with rough fights, but she felt safer with Dawn and Sora, and this helped a lot. S they walked, Sora would notice little flashes of blue and purple, but after confirmation that they weren't, as he had thought, Heartless but were in fact a species of bat pokemon known as Zubat, he relaxed slightly at them. Slightly. Soon after having Cyrus completely wipe out a large flock of the bats with a Thundershock, the group was unhindered by anymore of them, as most saw the others be wiped out, and thought better of it. It wasn't until they could see the exit of the cave that Sora started to relax more, which nearly cost him his Heart as a large pair of claws swiped his back, sending him crashing to the ground, rolling out of the way as the claws were joined by two more sets of them. Bleeding, Sora came up with Oblivion in his hands, looking with fury at his attackers. Dawn and Niji ran for the exit, managing to get out just before a strange invisible wall went up, keeping Sora locked inside.
"Dammit..."he cursed softly to himself, then brought his keyblade up in a block as the three Soldier Heartless as one leaped at him. Claws clashed against metal, and with a grunt, he threw all three back, just before opening Paine's Pokeball "Paine, I need you!" he said, dodging yet another strike as his first pokemon and partner materialized from her pokeball. She quickly assessed the situation, and started with a powerful water gun, blasting one of the Soldiers into its allies, throwing them all against a wall. This gave Sora enough time to recover and quickly throw a hand up, glowing with green energy "Curaga!" he said, watching as the green spiraling magic circled him, healing him quickly and stopping the blood flow. The three Soldiers got up, and as one, dove at him.
"Belle, Ice Beam!" called a voice, and all three Heartless froze in mid air, covered in a thick, glassy layer of ice. Sora and Paine turned to look at the source of the voice, and were stunned to see another human there, with what appeared to be a young lady beside him, face covered by the county belle hat she wore. Paine recognized the pokemon for what it was, and smiled, giving both trainer and pokemon a nod. Only Belle returned it, as her trainer was looking at Sora "You Ok?" he asked, face still covered by a bandana. Sora nodded, and with a flick of his wrist, dispelled Oblivion.
"Yes, thanks. You came at the perfect time." he said, smiling a bit. Seeing it safe, he sat down on a rock with a sigh. The other male nodded, then walked over and examined the Heartless.
"Curious...what sort of Pokemon are these?" he asked himself aloud.
Sora sighed "They aren't Pokemon. Their called Heartless." he said, looking at the taller boy "my name is Sora, what's yours?" he asked, extending a hand. The older male simply shook his hand, and Sora could feel that his glove was cold...but he hadnt touched the ice.
"Name is Chase. This is Belle." he said, motioning to his Frosslass, who smiled, and gave him a tip of her hat. The Keyblade Wielder smiled, and nodded back to her, just before Paine came up and sat in his lap, causing him to laugh.
"nice to meet you Belle and Chase. This is Paine, my partner." he said, motioning to the Shiny pokemon. Chase didn't even seem to care that she was Shiny, though Belle seemed a bit shocked. Before Sora could speak, a loud hissing was heard, and all turned to see a large black snake with several colored markings and two large fangs, blood red in color. Adorned on the tail was a wicked looking blade, red as the fangs. Its eyes were dark, pupils glittering as it focused on all of them, a predatory look deep in its eyes. Sora gulped, preparing to summon Oblivion once more, but as it lunged, one of the strange white creatures from earlier sauntered over, and lunged as well, plunging its spiked hands deep into its heart, causing it to scream in pain. It pulled back, just before it vanished into a black portal that closed behind it. The four watched as the snake writhed in agony...then changed. Its dark body flattened as if it was dough under a rolling pin, and its face flattened, its head now only half the height it had been. While it lost its eyes, its fangs grew to a sharper point, and became like daggers, with a white edge that seemed to melt into a couple markings on the face, and grew to a deep crimson down them. The markings on it before vanished, and another symbol appeared, like a diamond that had two half circles taken out of the top left and bottom right sides. On its underside, the two humans and two pokemon could see four arrowhead like spikes grow out from under it, while a larger, deadlier looking set grew out of its back, all eight of them bone white. Its tail blade didnt change all that much, except it grew to almost the used to be Seviper's entire body length, looking like the fangs, except with a black edge that grew to a wicked looking point. The base of the blade grew a cross shape of a pair of arrowhead points. It finished its transformation, and seemed to still. It then sat up, and turned to Sora, who, if he could have seen its eyes, was almost positive it was gunning for him.
"Ah crap.." he muttered, just before it hissed loudly, and lunged at all four.
