ALOLA TO OUR SAVIOURS: Chapter 18 - The drawing
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon :/
The scorching sun burned down upon the men that survived the shocking military base attack.
Only the strongest of the men were left.
Some left the group of propose, claiming that Jack wasn't a suitable leader.
They had never heard from them since.
Golduck, who was the main source of water was also running on his last legs as he was growing weak and tired.
"Jack. We have been on the move ever since the attack. We have no communication to Kalos and our current source of water is about to pass out. We have had to kill innocent Pokemon that lived in the desert for food. I don't know how much more I can take of this!" Duncan yelled at the captain.
"Hey, listen! We just need to stay calm- "Jack started before being cut off.
"Stay calm? STAY CALM!? We have been staying calm for the last 4 and a half weeks!" another one of Norths men yelled.
Jack just shook his head.
"We need to keep moving forward and get this info to the government!" Jack yelled back slightly, holding out the phone which died of battery a long time ago, but they all had the image stuck in their mind of the monster and the screen.
"Well, I for one am not keen on dying out here." Tom said, backing Jack up.
"Thanks." Jack muttered.
"There is 7 of use left. When the attack hit, we left with 21. 14 of us either dead or wandering around out there!" Jack shouted, pointing all over the place.
"How do we know if were not the ones that are just wandering around out there?" one of the survivors questioned.
Jack just shook his head.
"Alright. I don't know ok! All I know is that if we don't get this stupid phone with the proof of the overgrown weed on it to Kalos in time, we are about to start a war with the wrong enemy!" Jack protested.
The 6 other soldiers just looked at each other and continued to venture forwards.
Duncan and Tom stood by Jacks side.
"I know I've asked already, but what will they think the monster." Duncan asked.
"Simple. Just like I said." Jack said turning to the Duncan. "What the fuck is that thing."
Duncan just scoffed.
Trekking over a large dune of sand, the trio that were behind the other 4 saw them paused on top.
"What is it?" Tom called out.
None of them said anything, not even a muttered.
They all reached the top as Jack, Toms and Duncan's eyes widened as they saw what the others saw.
A large stone mountain with a cavern beside it.
That meant shelter from the sun.
And the sun was glaring down inside it, with something sparkly inside it.
"Water…" on other the men muttered.
"What?" Jack muttered back.
"I SAID WATER DIPSHIT!"
"Alright then…"
"So, Captain. Your call." One of the soldiers asked as Jack looked at him.
"Pray to Arceus, this isn't the desert fucking with our minds." Jack said as he led the group.
It was a 20-minute torturous walk which felt like forever.
But it was worth it.
As they got it closer, some of them burst into tears as water was real.
Tom got down and placed his hand in the water and sipped at it before turning around.
"It's fresh… Must be coming from like an underground spring or something…" he said.
Before he could continue, all of them dropped their gear and dived straight in.
It was heavenly.
"Oh, my god…" was the only response from all of them.
They released their Pokemon who dived right in as well.
Jack stood up and clear his throat.
"Alright. I think we have found our base or operations till we can figure how to get out of this hell hole." He announced.
"I have no complaints." Duncan responded.
"I'd drink to that…" Tom also responded.
However, they were being watched by a Pokemon, who was glaring at them heavily.
It picked up some mud and threw it straight at Jack's face, as he stuttered over back into the water.
Everyone turned to where the attack came from as Jack cleaned off the mud.
A small Larvitar was glaring at them heavily, hiding behind a rock.
"A Larvitar?" one solider said.
"Tar!" he growled slightly before turning that growl into a powerful screech as the humans covered there ears.
Larvitar ran off.
Once the attack was over, Jack looked over to the fleeing rock type.
"Oh, no you don't." he muttered as he jumped out of the water and followed Larvitar into a cave.
"Jack! Wait up!" Duncan called out but the captain was too far ahead to hear the cry.
Sprinting after Larvitar, Jack caught him and grabbed him.
But the rock type bit down on the side of his hand, forcing him to drop Larvitar as he ran off again.
Once the pain had passed slightly, Jack continued his pursuit.
Larvitar had fled to an entrance leading outside.
Jack followed through and saw a sight that made his heart sink.
Larvitar was now standing in front of a lifeless Tyranitar, who had bullet wounds scattered around its body which dried blood sinking into the ground.
Jack looked at Larvitar and put 2 and 2 together.
"Tar…"
Jack got down slowly and looked at Larvitar.
"Is this your mother?" he asked as Larvitar started to cry.
The human looked to the side and sighed.
He figured out that Larvitar probably thought it was him and his crew that attacked and killed the Tyranitar.
"Listen. We didn't do this. I help people and Pokemon." Jack explained.
"Lari! Tari!" Larvitar cried.
"Hey. I know sort of what you're going through. Sort of…" Jack said softly, trying his best not to aggravate the Pokemon.
Larvitar gave a confused look.
"Yeah. I lost my best friend, Charizard not to long ago. It hurt but I had to keep moving on." Jack started. "This is different because it is your mother… But still."
Larvitar looked at Jack and then looked back at his deceased mother.
"I'll tell you what? We should probably bury her. You know. Give her a proper send off. So, bad people don't hurt her again." Jack carefully explained.
Larvitar continued to glare at him before giving a softer look.
"Tar?" he questioned.
Jack didn't know what he was saying but went along with it.
"Yeah. Bad people will never hurt her again!" Jack assured again.
Larvitar went by his side and they walked back to the others.
The rest of the crew just waited for Jacks return.
"Chasing after a god damn Larvitar just like that! The thing probably just wanted to annoy us!" Duncan complained.
"Or it could be its territory?" a solider by the name of Jargai, who was native to Orre.
Suddenly, Jack appeared around the corner with Larvitar hiding behind him.
"Oh you're back and you brought your assailant with you." Duncan said sarcastically.
"Yeah we have to do something." Jack started.
Tom raised an eyebrow.
"What?"
"Bury a Tyranitar…" he said awkwardly as Larvitar started to swell up again.
"How the hell are we meant to bury a god damn Tyranitar? Those things weight like over 200 KGS!" Duncan complained.
"We'll figure something out. Come on! She was killed by hunters or terrorists. One or the other. And this little fellow is all alone now, it's the least we can do!" Jack explained.
Duncan sighed.
"Fine."
Everyone got out and headed over to the dead Pokemon.
They dug a hole big enough and it took every one of them plus their Pokemon to push Tyranitar into the hole.
"Larvitar, this is it. Time to say goodbye." Jack said to the rock skin Pokemon.
Larvitar walked over and said his goodbyes as they began to throw the sand and dirt over her.
It took like 10 – 20 minutes to do, but she was now at peace.
They returned to where they had set up base and relaxed again in the pool.
Larvitar just watched them all relax in the pool.
"I wish I could understand what he was saying." Jack said to Duncan.
"Well his mother is gone, so I can't imagine it is very pleasant things he is saying." he said in return.
Well they were talking, Larvitar had slipped off.
"Where did he go?" Jack said as he got out of the water.
"How am I meant to know?"
"Hey Jack?" Tom shouted out.
"Yeah?"
"Don't you think it is kind of odd there is a wild Tyranitar around. I mean, of course there are wild Tyranitar's but in the middle of nowhere, living inside a cave with a spring in it? A little too good to be true?" Tom questioned.
"I don't know?" Jack responded back.
"Hell, I don't even think Tyranitars are native in Orre…" Duncan muttered.
"Tar! Tar!" Larvitar called out.
Larvitar came out with two big berries in his hands as he dropped them on the ground.
Jack and Duncan looked at each other slowly as everyone else looked Larvitar who started to nibble on one of the berries.
"Ok… I take back everything I said about Larvitar…" Duncan muttered to Jack.
"How did you?" Jack questioned as Larvitar looked at his and blinked.
He got up and used his little hand to signal to the humans to follow him.
They did so as Larvitar led them to a den.
There was a large straw bed with bones scattered everywhere.
There were two caves separating off the sides.
Larvitar led them to the cave on the left and inside was a large berry patch.
"Well this is something different…" Jargai muttered.
"How the hell do you grow berries underground?" Duncan questioned.
"Well… If I recall correctly, Tyranitar can learn sunny day. Use that plus the spring water and I guess underground berry patch…" One soilder explained.
"Lar!" Larvitar cried, pointing at the berries.
Jack pointed at them as well.
"Are we allowed to have some?"
Larvitar nodded as the humans and there Pokemon took 2 berries each. There were 100's there so it didn't effect the supplies to much.
Jack turned his attention to the other cave, which had its entrance blocked off by large stones.
"Do you know what is in there?" Jack asked the Johto native.
Larvitar gave a scared look.
Duncan noticed this.
"Oh, I do not like that look…" he muttered as Larvitar walked over to the block cave.
"Are we allowed to go in there?" Jack asked.
"What? It's probably blocked for a reason!" Tom yelled.
"Yeah and like you said, isn't it odd a Tyranitar is out in the middle of nowhere? I guarantee you whatever is in there is why they are here." Jack explained, pointing at Larvitar who was hiding behind Jack now.
Jack turn and got on the ground.
"Can we please go in Larvitar?" Jack asked.
Larvitar looked at him and turned. He grabbed on to one of the rocks and pulled it away, forcing all the others to come loose and fall.
"Shotgun not fir-"Tom muttered.
"I'LL go first…" Jack yelled back.
He went in slowly and straight away saw the skeleton remains of both primal like Humans and ancient Pokemon.
There was dried mud paint stained on the walls of some ancient text.
At the front of the room was a pile of rare gems and minerals.
"Oh, my god!" some of the men yelled as they rushed over to the treasure.
"Guys! We are soldiers! Not tomb raiders!" Jack called out as he picked up a gem to check it out before flicking it back into the pile.
He turned to Larvitar now.
"So Tyranitar was protecting all this huh?" Jack said to the baby Pokemon.
Larvitar shook his head, as Jack gave him a confused look.
"Tar!" he cried pointing above where the treasure was.
Jack stepped back and to his horror, saw what was on the wall.
There was a painting of the sun in the left corner and the moon in right corner. Under the sun was an awkward looking triangle. Under the moon was a bunch of stick figure like humans and Pokemon. There was a drawing of a large Pokemon. Its body was a circle with triangles on the stomach. It had two normal arms and then two larger ones below them. Its head had a circle on it with mini horns. On the bottom was two rectangles that represent legs.
Under all this was a sentence in the Orrean language.
"What fuck is that…" Duncan muttered as everyone stepped back to look at the ancient drawing.
"That is why you're here?" Jack said as Larvitar nodded.
Jargai walked forward and looked at the text.
"Hey… I think I can translate this…" he shouted. Being Orrean himself, he could read the native language.
He scanned it a bit before clearing his throat.
"The gods are angered. The sun is dull and the moon is broken. A crack in the sky unleashes a monster of great hunger as it flies down. We fear it will take all our goods. We flee as it devours our lands. We hide as it comes closer and closer. We leave this message to warn the future." Jargai read.
"A Pokemon that devours land? And appears from the sky?" Tom repeated back as Jargai nodded.
"Looking at that thing, it's more like it fell from the sky" Duncan stated due to how large the drawing was.
"Well, best thing we can do is protect this place until we figure something out. We have water, shelter from the sun, some source of food. And a new friend." Jack explained.
He looked at Larvitar, who was staring at him.
"Remember when I mention losing my best friend Charizard? He was my partner and I will never forget what he did. But I'm looking for a new one now to hopefully be as grand as he was." Jack explained to Larvitar. "I can't leave you alone out here. So, when we leave, do you want come along?"
Larvitar looked at him intensely.
He thought back to when his mother was fighting off the humans as he hid away in fear.
But he wasn't scared of them anymore!
"Tar!" Larvitar cried happily.
Jack smiled as he patted his head.
"Well, I'm heading back to the lake." Duncan announced as everyone but Jack followed.
Jack looked at the ancient drawing and thought back to the mysterious picture of 'UB-06: Growth.'
He shook his head and sighed.
"Come on lets go."
Authors note: So 18 is here. Like I said filler due to Plot and it is short cuz I have something to say But I'll get to that soon.
I know Tyranitar can only learn Sunny day by TM (I'm probably going to get criticized for that as well), but lets pretend it learns it naturally.
So the 3rd trial is next chapter.
Now, as most of you know, I listen to you guys. When the little incident happened with Mallow and Ash which we won't speak of, I saw plenty of you disliked which is fair as I grew uneasy with it as well. So I changed it.
I'm normally a tolerable guy when it comes to criticism or hate.
BUT I have a rant AND i'M NOT HOLDING BACK, . So if you want to read it, its after my normal message.
So as always, review, suggested or PM me. Have a lovely day and Spectre out!
...
...
...
Still here?
NOW! I'm not mad. I'm pissed.
Call me what you want for making this, a baby for not handling criticism, a sore loser because of it. Whatever.
So 'Cabbit'. You dislike my story huh? On how his friends and Pokemon would never betray Ash. On how him getting second should make him more popular.
Have you never read a fucking Pokemon betrayed story before. I'm not calling out every betrayed story, some start off really well. But I'll be the one cunt that says this, most of the time his 'friends' want him DEAD with no reason at all!
8 reviews later. Which equaled up to 3,714 words which is longer than this chapter.
You dislike my story huh? I saw the first two reviews and was like 'Ok, this person doesn't like my story.' And 8 reviews later, I can clearly see you don't like it, So my question is, Why the fuck are you still reading it?
And now the reviews. I enjoy reading your guys thoughts and opinions. I do. I said this earlier on in the story, everybody deserves an opinion and I respect what it is.
But yours I don't give a shit about.
In my opinion and it's unfair for me to say this, but I think "THE UNAPPEALING MONSTER YOU'VE THROWN TOGETHER ALL FRANKENSTEIN-LIKE" quoted by yourself, has been rather successful. 344 favorites. 422 follows. 286 reviews and I'm not including your reviews. I've only had 3 people complain seriously about this story One at the very start, one which turned out to be my friend just being a dick and you.
I think out of the 8 reviews, I read the first 2 or 3. And didn't read the rest.
Until I saw the last one...
On how I should write a Pokemon betrayed story.
Fuck off.
Don't you dare come on to my story and tell me how to write.
I want to write more, But I'm not going to. I don't want to but I have to, I will and it will be worse than this.
Spectre out.
