Chapter 14

Hello again everyone. I'm happy to see that I am starting to get more views on my stories.

Ssp is still a work in progress, I still need to get some ideas put together before releasing the next chapter. Expect it to be out within the next week or so. Also, my new story will most likely come out on time.

Special shout today is to another author who has included my OC in his story. I'd like to thank damsainx for allowing Matt to be in his story. This story will eventually show why Mathew Is the way he is and why he has become such a jerk.

Anyway. Here is the next chapter.

(Mathew POV)

I have never been more nervous in my entire life. I'm about to ask William and Nicholas a question that will change their life and mine forever. I still don't know if I'll actually be able to do this. It's taken about ten minutes, but I can finally see the café. When I got up over the hill, William was waiting for me. He wasn't alone, Nicholas was with him, and so was Christopher. That was somebody I wasn't hoping to see. I can't ask this while he sitting there. I guess I'll just have to wait until the afternoon. When I finally got there, Christopher made his typical smart remark.

"And look who finally decided to show up. It's about time you got your lazy butt up." He said while smirking

"Why don't you mind your own business." I shouted.

Chris didn't take to kindly to that remark. Because he got up in my face and attempted to shove me.

"You going to make me weakling. I'd like to see you try." He continued to nag and shove me.

Before I could say anything in return, William broke in between us. He didn't seem to happy. He went over to Chris and whispered something in his ear. The Riolu simply nodded and walked away. I don't know what he said to that annoying punk, but if it makes him go away, I got to find out. Of course, when William looked over at me, he didn't seem to be happy either.

"And as for you, I told you to be hear twenty minutes ago. If you show up here late again, I'll leave without you, furthermore, I will have to punish you. Do I make myself clear Mathew?" He shouted.

I looked down at my feet, I was upset with myself, William is right. I should never be late. I wanted to prove myself to him and now he's angry with me.

"I'm sorry William, I've just had so much on my mind these past few days. I promise I won't screw up anymore." I apologized.

William started to become calm again, he then looked down for a second before looking back at me.

"That's good to hear, and I apologize for shouting at you. I've had a lot on my mind to. My home is beginning to fall apart. If it does become too bad, me and Nicholas here won't have anywhere to go." He started to sound as if he was going to cry.

I felt so bad that I almost forgot what I was going to ask them, I figured it would be bad if I said anything right now. I decided I would wait to ask until we completed our mission for the day. Which by the way, William still hasn't said what that mission was going to be. I guess I should shut up and see what he has to say.

"All right….." he began, "Christopher has agreed to sit this mission out because this is a transport mission." He said

I looked at him with confusion, what in the world is a transport mission. There is so many things I need to learn about being an explorer. But I'm just running my stupid mouth again.

"I can see you are confused Mathew; a transport mission is when we travel with a client on a job. Either to reunite with a friend or if the person we are traveling with is an agent of the law, we will assist them in going after a criminal. Today, we are helping an Eevee get its water stone back so it can evolve."

I just nodded, I mean, I know William explained it, but I still don't understand anything about this whole transport nonsense. All I know is that it's another job that needs to be done and I have no choice but to do it.

Before long, an Eevee showed up to our meeting spot. He immediately walked up to William when he saw us. William greeted him and started walking off, he signaled for me and Nicholas to follow him. Not once during the next thirty or so minutes did William say a word to either me or Nicholas. If anything was said, it was between him and that Eevee. I couldn't take any more of this, I had to figure out what was going on now. I guess the best way to start is with Nicholas.

"Hey Nicholas, what is going on? Why isn't William saying anything to us and why are we just following blindly?" I asked.

"To be honest, I don't really know. This isn't really normal. Usually he would have told us what we need to do by now." Nicholas responded with just as much confusion as me.

After what felt like another long period of silence, we stopped. William finally turned to face us. Although what he had to say wasn't comforting in the slightest.

"Ok guys, there is a little problem. The bad news is that we are going to have to go up on that mountain to get the Water Stone, the worse news is that this mountain also happens to be the home of many mean Steel and rock types." He whispered, most likely not to disturb said Pokémon.

Oh great, the stupid little guy failed to mention just exactly where hi dumb stone was. And now we are going to have to climb some stupid rock to get it back. Not to mention, the possibility of some hot headed steel type killing us all. I was about read to just tell William to forget about it, but all three of them had already started climbing. I can't believe I am about to do this, but I guess I have no choice but to go up. I mean, I'm certainly not staying here all by myself. I just truly hope that whatever happens, we all make it out safe and above all, alive.

End of Chapter 14

Another short and boring chapter, I'm completely aware of the fact. It's just that the next chapter will contain another battle sequence and I love building suspense. I also want more time to actually plan the scene out. But at the same time, I want to keep you guys up to date. After the next few chapters, they will be getting even longer. From 1000-2000 to 1750-2500. The longest chapter that will go up will be even longer. But that's not for a while, so we are good there.

Like I said before, all of my stories will be out on time unless something goes wrong to change that. I still am in need of some OC's for later chapters. Pm me if you are interested.
