Chapter8-Trouble at and Sepration-
Running away from the Rockets, they walked through the tall grass instead of the clear road aside it, which would had been easier for their feet and head being pecked by Spearrow and nawed by what ever was lurking inside the grass sea. The whole time Sora was looikng through her paper map, making some notes on it. She crossed off a big red X on the city full of Rockets. Of course it was Saffron and Celadon.
She was staring at Lavender town when Yasha snatched the map grunting in insult. "What are you doing? Afraid of Adults wearing stupid matching uniform like little kids?"
"No, I'm not. And not only adults are in Team Rockets. There's lots of kids join for rebel." Sora said, angry seeing the the only map she had was rumpled. She snatched back the ball of paper from Yasha, unwrinkling it, then giving it to Michael. Michael took it, with a why did she give it to me face.
She leaned side way, clasping her right hand secluding Yasha, saying in a whisper, "Pst. It's safer to be in your hands. Yasha always picking on me." Michael rolled his eyes skyward.
"Hey. I'm trying to start conversation, but you have to be a smart aleck." Yasha, like always said a harmfull thing, Sora trying to look harmed, stopping tracks hand on her chest.
Michael sighed like he was getting sick of this. "You know, all the ten-year-olds are watching."
The arguing two freezed, looking around. Surprisingly, there was bunch of kids there watching them in bugged eyes holding their Pokeball in alert. Yasha stepped out, swinging her arms in the air shaking her fist. "Go away, you runts! Do I look like a pokemon to you!" They walked away as Yasha said, still some was looking back or hiding behind them.
"We should get going." Sora said, calmed down from the argument. They walked up the road of tall grass, Yasha keeping eyes on the following trainer, creeped out that there might be a Rocket mixed in.
About a few minute, they reached a steep road and a Pokemon Center on atop of it. They were all tried, straggering up the slope. They handed their Pokemon to Nurse Joy looking happily about greeting them with a smile. While the wait, they sat on the bench. Sitting in the middle, Michael leaned down watching his shoes. He wanted to be alone now, give time to himself to think things over.
"Can we rest here for tonight. It's kinda earily but I don't think we'll get out of by night." Sora suggested.
"No, we're going through tonight." Yasha argured. She stayed quiet till Sora jumped out of her seat.
"What are you talking about?" Sora yelled, bringing some atention to them. Michael coiled his arm around his bookbag on his lap.
"Believe me. Rockets breaks into Pokemon Center. It's too risky to stay here." Sora shook her head in her hands. Yasha is right about that, but she never heard of someone camping out in a cave but hikers.
"I'll get some nets then." Sora walked off, only thing in mind was Zubats. She didn't want to think about all the other worries. Maybe it wouldn't be that bad anyway.
Getting their Pokemon from the front desk, they left the building. Michael stared back at the building when going into the cave. Inside the cave wasn't so dark, just Zubats flying around so fast on their heads. They ducked down, running across the cave. One of the bats came down, nipping on Yasha.
"Arg, Zubats! Why do they always do this to me!" Yasha screamed, whiping them away. Luckly, this time they flew away, Everyone slowing down their pace. They walked until the place was pit black. Sora called out her Mckawl to use flash, still the farther side of the cave was dark, sending scary feelings till they reach there.
wasn't a good place to train pokemon, only weak Zubats to catch. Yasha really hate them to bits. Her skin itched where the zubats had bitting her, making it bumpy and swole. She wanted to come here to catch a bug Pokemon, and maybe Clefairy, which was unlikely. Then there was a red mushroom sticking out behind the rock in the corner. Yasha smiled. What a luck.
Yasha ran pass Sora and Michael getting closer to the shivering mushroom. Two long nail set on the rock, pushing the mushroom up with the body attached jumping right on Yahsa's head and started to scratch her head madly. Yasha screamed, feeling around her head to squish that mushroom bug when it hopped it self off, dogding the two bystander and crawled away to the oppsite side.
"What was that?" Michael question.
Yasha stomped around turning back. "You're the first Pokemon I met since Zubats. I'm not going to lose you!" Yasha yelled, furious that she was bleeding all over with some lost hair. She followed the mushroom Pokemon, leaving the other two. They can take care of themself. She ran into a dead end, light flowing down the rocky wall. There was the mushroom bug, Paras she knew it by, failing to climb up the cliff, edge sticking out.
"I got you now!" Yasha mocked the Paras. She reached down to her belt and got out a pokeball. She pulled her arm back legs tightly grabbing the ground when she heard a noise, an footstep in an along stride grinding the earth. This can't be Sora, or Michael. Who could it be? She felt nervous. She thought about hiding, but they were in front of her when she turned around.
"Oh, nonono, we got you." The person in the lead of the group said, who was . There was a army of Rocket stuffed in the little route of the cave that she wonder how did they came in here without getting noticed.
"You guys again. Still following around?" Yasha growled, tightening her grip on the Pokeball. She could throw the Pokeball hard enought to make him faint.
"Yasha, we just want you back." spoke in a calm voice, that coaxing voice she hated. "Now, we know that you're grown up and have your own idea, so I'll let you choose. You can come back as the member of the team rocket, or we can drag you back with this Pokeball." she saw the Pokeball flashing as he raise his hand, the Master ball she hated so much. She cringed back, feared that it'll come jumping on to her by it accord.
She needed to find a escape route, and quick. She could buy some time by asking them question. She wanted to know about 'Mew' a little bit more anyway. And it was coming after her. He was so vain about his works and his knowledge.
"So, what's that Nidoran? It gave me a headache." Yasha crossed her arm, cooling down.
"'Mew'? Oh that's our new project, but a failiur. We split a Mew gene and put it in a Nidoqueen..." And something about making the powerfulest Pokemon in the world. She knew how it was going to end, every speech, every rant. The Rockets was yawning and ones that was serious about their works looked around not knowing what to do. Damn it. They're wearing ear pluges. Wish I had Bulbasaur now.
When everyone's eyes was off her she threw down her Pokeball. "Venomat, use disable!" The first and second front row of the Rockets frezzed but the other was still moving. Yasha dashed off to the cliff climbing up the rocky side.
"Use spore, or something, or I'm gonna kick your butt off!" Yasha order to the shievering Paras. The claw was stuck between the rock and looked underweight, squirming weakly. A powder flew out of the mushroom filling the air with poisonous spore. Yasha was on the top when the Rocket was fainting and felt the urge to grin evily when she saw foming from the mouth. She called Venomat back, worried that the poision got her too. Grasping the Paras from the cliff, she put it on her head as she walked away.
"Where did she go now." Sora said, angered. Michael was more in fear than that though, since the Rockets were after them. They have been staring vaguely at the other side where the group of Rockets walked off to. Good thing there was a rock to hide. The bad thing was the Rockets was heading toward where Yasha ran. Maybe Sora said that to take her mind off from the bad thought.
"I'm sure she's all right." Michael said. Yasha did get them out of the Rocket mob. He wished that Sora thought the same.
"You're right. She can handle by herself. She'll be waiting for us at Cerulean." Sora said, kind of relieved. Then they heard the ground grinding. They looked back and saw thousand of Geodude marching toward them, grunting 'geodude'. Sora opened her mouth wide, couldn't gasp the logic of this.
"What the...!" She felt pain jolting thought her body when a small geodude slammed into her. "Is this some kind of joke?" Sora looked around and found Michael fainted on the Geodude's head, who pulled him up and carried him gently on his long broad hands.Okay, this is weird. Looked like two geodude was fighting each other, and they have interruped their fight. She looked down at the angry geodude, eyes glaring at her.
"Geez. why can't you be nice like the Geodude over there." She called back Mckawl and gone back to the Geodude with Michael on it's back, until herd of geodude whip you up and caught her on it back. She crawled on to the Geodude back carefully not to fall down and get stomped on. She didn't even want to imagine that. Ground beef in a second for sure.
Yasha walked around the field balancing Paras on her head, looking if Sora and Michael had find their way out. She could see Cerulean ahead, but she couldn't see any road or how to get there. Funny thing about Cerulean was all the buildings are blue like there's a regulation to building buildings... Might as will find a way to get there. Maybe they're ready there.
As the herd of Geodudes zig-zagged through the tunnel, Sora was too busy evading corners and Zubats flying above her head. Still, they almost made her fall every time they slammed right into her. How can they only survive with supersonic in this cave? She decide that it was better off clutching real tight on the Geodudes till her palm hurt like heck.
Then the Geodude's all around her, their eyes flashed and before Sora noticed she was wipe up, flying through the air, grinding the ground with her face. She felt more of a defeat than anger, hearing the Geodude crying "Geodude!" in a pleasant voice. She pushed her self up and rolled on to her side, trying not to eat more dirt by bearing her teeth.
"You know, you could had been more... nice!" Yelling at them just made all the Geodude laugh. Wished she didn't yell now, not only it made her feel worst something just crunched in her mouth. Oh well, at least they're group of nice Geodudes.
She looked up at the Geodude still holding Michael. The Geodude noted his attention and rotated in the air. "We better get going. Do you want to come with us? I mean, I need someone to carry him up to Cerulean... Would you?" She felt stupid to convince a Pokemon to just come with them. The Geodude glanced at Michael then nodded, eyes filled with determination.
"All right." Sora got up on her feet and dusted the dirt off her shirt and pants clean, the sandy color staying. "lets go. I want to get this wash before sunset."
Geodude smiled, levitating down the grassy slope, looking pretty fast for a rock. Sora ran after it, hearing one of the Geodude grunting loudly behind her back.
