Sorry, I've been gone so long, I just got writer's block and lost the will to write for a bit. It's not a very long chapter, but it's something. I have midterms coming up so I don't have much time to write so pt. 2 will probably get posted sometime between the 26 of December to the 5 of January. Happy Holidays everyone and enjoy the chapter.
Silver stood alone in an empty street. A clouded sky let all most no light in. The hairs on the back of his neck were standing up. Lightning struck and thunder followed. In front of him were two towers, both the same height. They were both adorned with carvings of ancient pokemon. Autumn trees decorated the right tower's sides. The towers looked like silver and gold.
Suddenly, lightning hit the left tower. Sparks flew as the tower ignited. Two large pokemon fled from the towers, flying far away. The first to leave was a silver and blue bird pokemon. The second was a slightly smaller bird pokemon whose feather were red, white, and green with yellow tail feathers. The legendary pokemon, Lugia and Ho-oh.
He opened his eyes. Silver was still lying on the floor of the pokemon center room that Nurse Joy had given them. Luna was eating breakfast with Gin. "Morning." He greeted. Luna didn't reply. She didn't even look at him. "Good morning Silver." He mocked, getting up off the floor. After she finished eating, Luna picked up her bag and Gin before leaving the room. Even though she said it didn't matter, she was still pissed about the kiss he had given her last night. To make matters worse, the Ecruteak City Pokemon Center had been full last night. Nurse Joy only had one room left forcing Silver and Luna to sleep in the same room.
Something started to buzz. Silver looked for the object making the noise when he found a pokegear. Luna's pokegear. "Hello?" He answered.
"Oh, Silver? Why are you answering Luna's pokegear?" A girl questioned. It was Emily.
"She left it in the room we were staying in. What do you need?" Silver asked.
"I was just wondering if you guys had made it to Ecruteak City safely. It was pretty late when you left so I was worried." She answered.
"Yeah, we make it here just fine." He replied.
"That's good. Well, good luck. I hope your battle with Morty goes well. Tell Luna I said hi."
"I'll try." Silver answered. The door opened and Luna walked in. She glared at Silver. "Ah-oh, Luna is back and she doesn't look happy. I better say goodbye."
"Bye Silver." Emily hung up and Silver handed Luna her pokegear.
"Who?" She growled.
"Emily." He smiled. "She says hi and good luck." Luna held out her hand and Silver handed her the pokegear.
"Let's go before I leave you behind." Luna turned and walked out. "You're lucky it was just Emily and not my mom or Hannah."
Silver followed her out. "Why? Your mom and Hannah love me."
"That's not the point. If my mom called and you answered, she's going to start worrying about me. If it was Hannah, I would have missed a chance to talk to my sister."
"Why would your mom worry if I answered?" He questioned.
"We are miles from home and the boy I supposedly hate just answered my pokegear. What part of that wouldn't send out warning flags to my mother?" She snapped.
"Sorry…" Luna sighed and went up to Nurse Joy's desk.
"Here's the key." She said, handing over the key.
"Thank you. I'm so sorry that I didn't have another room for you to stay in." Nurse Joy apologize.
"It's fine. The towers must bring a lot of tourists." Luna smiled. Silver noticed the bags under Luna's eyes. Did she not get any sleep?
"Yes, the Bell Tower in particular since it's the only one still standing. It makes us pretty busy. Isn't that right Chansey?" Nurse Joy looked the pokemon behind her.
"Chance!" It replied.
"Well, you must be busy yourselves. Good luck beating Morty." She smiled.
"Thanks." Silver spoke as they walked out.
"The gym is this way." Luna pointed. They walked over to the gym, but the doors were locked. On the door was a notice.
Stepped out for a bit.
-Morty, Gym Leader
"Well, there goes that plan." Luna sighed.
"He has to come back eventually so let's just find something else to do." Silver explained.
"Like what?" She asked.
"We could visit the towers. It's not late enough to go to the dance theater." He answered.
Luna looked towards the towers. "Alright. Not like there's anything else to do." Luna and Silver walked over to the Bell tower. Two men stood at the entrance.
"Do you have the key?" One asked.
"Key?" Silver questioned.
"You can not enter if you have not been gifted the key. Shoo." The second replied.
"Let's go Silver. They aren't going to let us in without this "key" they speak of." Luna told him. They walked over to the Burned Tower. Even though there weren't any differences, it felt colder and looked darker than the Bell Tower.
"How much of the story do you think is true?" She asked.
"All of it. Why?" He replied.
"Well, I saw the tower burn last night."
"You had that dream too?" Luna nodded. "How about we go in a see? Nothing's here to stop us."
"Are you kidding? Why would we go in?"
"Goodness, if you two aren't coming in, shut up. You'll scare them away." A new voice spoke. There was an oddly dressed man leaning in the doorway. Strands of brown hair were hanging in front of his face. He was wearing a white cape for who knows what reason. "You may not get another chance, so if you do come in, stay quiet. I'm not going to waste two more years looking for them." He walked back into the tower. Luna and Silver looked to each other before Silver followed him in. A young man with messy blonde hair was laying on his stomach by a large hole in the floor holding a camera.
"Did you get rid of whoever was making that racket, Eusine?" The young man asked.
"Sorta. How are the pictures coming out?" The oddly dressed man replied.
"Not very good, but if I turned on the flash, they'll see us." He answered.
"Who's they?" Silver whispered.
"The three legendary pokemon that were resurrected by Ho-Oh after the Brass Tower burned down. Raikou, Entei, and Suicune." Eusine answered. Silver felt someone latch onto his arm. He saw Luna hanging on to him, shaking. He would be lying if he said he wasn't slightly scared too.
"I've been looking for Suicune for a while, but I never thought that I would run into all three of them here. Grandpa was right." Eusine explained.
"Yeah, your grandpa was a genius. You realize they probably wouldn't have come back without my offerings to them so you should be thanking me for this." The blonde boasted.
"Wow, you're so humble Morty. Just give me that camera." He ordered, grabbing the camera from his friend.
"So you're Morty?" Luna asked.
"Yes. Sorry if my hobby caused you to get behind schedule, but I would hate to miss something like this." The blonde answered.
"Son of a…" Eusine muttered.
"What the heck is wrong with you?" Morty asked.
"I dropped the stupid camera."
"You dropped it? Gosh dang it Eusine. My mother gave me that."
"It didn't fall too far, maybe it's alright," Luna mentioned.
"How the hell are we supposed to get it without the pokemon seeing us?" Morty mumbled some more colorful curses as Eusine sat down on a brick.
"Calm down you morons," Luna ordered.
"I'll go get it." Silver offered. "Luna would have to let go of my arm, but I could probably get it without being caught."
"Be my guest. Good luck." Eusine supposed. Luna let go of his arm and Morty lead him to a ladder.
"There are some wild pokemon down here so be careful. Good luck getting the camera." Silver started down the ladder.
