Chapter 11

Hello everyone, it has been an entertaining few days for me. But also very busy. I will try to update whenever I am free, I postdates on my bio, but stories will start getting longer periods of time between chapters occasionally. I'd like to thank those who read my stories and say I really appreciate it. I am still in need of some OC's for future chapters. If you're interested, PM me. Do not post on the reviews. Unless I get at least 2-4 by like chapter 20. I may have to put this on Hiatus until I can come up with some on my own. Anyway, I'll shut up now, enjoy chapter 11. PS, I have evolved some of the oran forest Pokémon, but will add some to.

(Mathew POV)

We had been walking around for what felt like forever, I swear, I hope this isn't every day. Because I can't do it forever. Every once in a while, a Pokémon would jump out and attack us. But it was nothing the group couldn't handle. It seemed like a pretty easy place for such a high esteemed exploration team. I had asked William about it, but all he would tell me is to wait and see. The guy was really strange out here. He didn't seem interested in talking to any of us. I needed someone to say something soon, and Chris hated my guts, so that left only one person. Someone I still couldn't really say I trusted. I decided I had to get over the past. When I looked over to Nicholas, he was different. Just a while ago, he was running his mouth nonstop. But now, he was just walking silently with an unemotional look on his face. It almost seemed as if he was pondering something. And me, being the nosey little Buizel I am, had to find out what.

"Hey Nicholas, what's wrong?" I asked

He didn't respond right away, but eventually he looked up at me with a puzzled look on his face.

"Nothing, it's just so quiet that I was getting really bored. Nobody ever really talks much when we are exploring." He seemed to answer with a bit of cheer in his voice.

What have I just done? Now he's never going to shut up. I should've never opened my big mouth. And boy was I right, the only time his mouth shut was when we were attacked. Immediately afterwards, it was back to whatever he could think to say. Just as I was about to snap and lose my cool, William signaled for us to stop. Nicholas Stopped talking and everything was quiet once more. I had no idea what was going on, so I had to ask, even if I got yelled at for doing it.

"What's going on, why did we stop?" I asked sounding very worried. Chris was the first to respond, charming as ever.

"We reached the end of the mystery dungeon you idiot. Now shut up while William goes over the plan." He smirked at me while giving me his same old attitude. Which William wasn't very happy to hear?

"Christopher, you keep your mouth shut. I am the one training him and if he has a question, I answer it. This is your last warning. One more comment and you'll be getting a suspension. Got it." William scolded.

Even when he is angry, he doesn't yell. I truly do admire his resolve, of course, he may very well have a breaking point, after all, doesn't everyone? Chris didn't even respond, he just grunted out what sounded like a yes and walked over to Nicholas. William then turned to me.

"And as for you, you need to keep your voice down. To answer your question, this is the end of the dungeon. You need to be careful because a very hostile and strong Pokémon may be around. These Pokémon are not to be messed with. Some may even try to kill you." He stated

"Kill me, what do you mean. Have others really lost their minds that bad? What do I have to do to be safe?" I asked, to which I got a quick response.

"Just do everything I tell you and you will be fine. Now look, you and Nicholas have a type disadvantage here. So I want you two to stick by each other the whole time. You both will stay here and keep an eye out while I and Chris go get the necklace we were sent here for. If we need you guys, we'll call." Upon finishing, he signaled for Chris and they both headed out towards the clearing.

I just stood there behind the bushes, this job is really turning out to be boring. I'm just standing here doing nothing. But I am new, so it's only obvious I'd get the easy job. It's still important though, if I and Nicholas don't do our job, something bad could happen to William and Chris. I know I hate the guy, but I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to him. He's got a family who love him. It was at this point that Nicholas came over next to me. He kept whispering things to me, but I couldn't really understand what. It was at this point that I noticed something. It was climbing down from the trees and was directly above William and Chris. Nicholas didn't notice at first, but when he did, he shut up quick. We both did the only thing we could. We ran out to warn our teammates. It was finally my time to prove that I was actually important. At this point, I don't know what came over me. But I didn't care about myself but instead about William and yes, even Chris. I was going to do whatever I could to protect them.

End of chapter 11

Ah yes, I know I made another short chapter. But like I said before, until I get some OC ideas, I have to elongate the story as much as possible. And I also love cliffhanger stories to. Anyway, Chapter 12 may not be out for as quick as two days but as long as a week+. SSP chapter8 won't be out for at least four days. That's why it says TBA.

Still accepting OC's for this story. PM me details, but I'm changing the criteria a bit. Here is the new criteria

Name-

Age

Introduction

Personality

Background (optional, I'd like it for character development. But it's up to you.)

Moves (If you don't post this, I'll do it myself)

Anything else you would like to include can be added as well. Just put it after the criteria, and also, no long as crap descriptions. I don't want a two page documentary.) Thank you.

I switched criteria based off of what I had been seeing elsewhere, and I agree that this criteria helps me get to know your character to a key.
