Dimension Traveling: Beast Quest

Chapter 4

Disclaimer: I don't own Beast Quest only my own characters

It had taken many days of riding but they had finally made it to the foothills of the Northern Mountains. They stopped for a rest at the bottom of the mountains.

Andrew spoke first, "Gogoat this is rough terrain we'll be going through so I'm going to call you back and bring out Rhyhorn." Gogoat nodded in affirmative. "Okay Gogoat return. Rhyhorn out you come."

Rhyhorn appeared and roared a challenge before Andrew explained the situation. After a quick drink and a little something to eat the heroes rode off once again.

Rhyhorn soon became the more efficient of the steeds as the ground got rockier and steeper. Soon Storm was struggling to get a grip on the mountain so the friends decided to take a break from traveling and found a flat piece of land to rest upon for the night.

The next day they reached the top of the mountain pass and looked down upon a beautiful sight with mountains stretching as far as they could see. Dark shadows filling the folds and gullies, while summits seemed to blaze in the morning sun.

They noticed a group of ragged men stumbling down the trail towards them. Tom redyed his sword as they group came near. One called out a greeting as they drew near and Andrew saw a young boy on his shoulder.

The group of traders, as Tom and Elenna recognised them as, were dirty and tired and the boy had a bad head injury.

The man with the boy asked, "Can you help us? Do you have any water? All our supplies have been destroyed."

Tom handed the man his water flask while Andrew went to the boy and started to heal his injury while subtly casting some memory charms so the boy didn't remember seeing Arcta.

Elenna asked what happened and the man responded with, "We were part of a trading caravan bringing supplies to the town when there was a landslide and we were lucky to survive."

They gave the traders what little food and water they could spare before bidding them farewell. They made their further forward before it started to drizzle. At Elenna's suggestion to find shelter from the rain Andrew saw an outcrop of rock that could provide shelter for the night. They started to climb towards it when silver let out a warning growl.

Andrew started scanning the mountainside and noticed the wall of mud sliding down towards them. "Mudslide. Rhyhorn, assume your true from and use protect to cover me. Rhydon out you come. Assume your true form and use protect for Tom, Elenna, Storm and Silver."

Both pokemon were covered in a brilliant white light growing larger and more powerful each second. Rhyhorn came out of the glow first with more Armor on his body and a much larger body. Rhydon was similar to Rhyhorn except he stood on his hind legs and could have easily kicked the top of a mountain off.

After what seemed like hours the mudslide stopped and the two pokemon came back to their normal selves but before the removed the protect barrier Andrew called Vanilluxe to freeze the mud in place so it didn't just crash down on them once the protect barrier was dismissed.

There weren't any more disturbances on their way to the town and after dealing with some thieves soon set off towards the Place of the Eagles.

They got to the plain where five paths led out in different directions. They started to move towards the right-hand path but silver suddenly bolted down the left-hand path forcing them to follow. Andrew called out to Silver to come back when he saw the landslide rolling down the path towards them.

Elenna jumped off of Storm and onto Rhyhorn, "Andrew take me to Silver." She cried out in desperation.

Andrew nudged Rhyhorn into full gallop that soon brought them to silver just as he dashed into a cave. They rushed in after him just as a mountain of rubble and rocks buried the entrance.

It took about ten minutes for the ground to stop shaking and another five before Tom found them. They told Tom not to worry about them as Andrew had cast a bubble head charm on everything in the cave so they didn't suffocate. "Tom you deal with Arcta. He has a blindfold that is enchanted. If you need help I will blast my way out of the cave and help you. In fact Arcta should actually be turning up pretty soon. We'll be quiet."

Andrew and Elenna listened as they heard thumping coming from up the path, followed by sniffing and finally thumping leading back up into the mountains.

"Rhyhorn get us out of this cave please." Rhyhorn complied and soon they were out in the open, the bubble head charms fading, and couldn't see Tom anywhere but storm was knee deep in rubble nearby so they rescued him before riding further up into the mountains.

They got to the Place of the Eagles just as Tom had pulled the last of the knot apart and Arcta was freed. Tom noticed them and the wolf cubs from the cave and nodded farewell to the giant. Once Arcta was out of sight Tom rushed and hugged Elenna much to everyone's surprise.

A feather floated down from the sky and landed right in between the two friends. Tom broke the hug and placed the feather in the top of his shield where once again Andrew got a small feather in his staff that did the same the one in Tom's shield. They slowly moved down towards the town to explain what happened before leaving for the plains.

AN-I know this was late coming out but I had a lot of other things on this week and just couldn't find the time but it's done now. See ya.
