Chapter 2
Yffum: Hi guys, I've decided for a few reasons, since my story hasn't really been reviewed that much actually, that I'm going to leave it at the first person to review this chapter and says their favorite disclaimer. Non-members CAN review! Today we have a steaming hot disclaimer at Stark Mountain.
Infernape: You own nothing, but the fic! How do you feel now huh? Exactly, humiliated. In your face! I'm on fire!
Yffum: Yeah, you are on fire, literally!
Infernape: Ohmygosh! I am on fire! Fire! Fire! Some one help me!
Yffum: Wow, what a hot head, anyway hope you like the story!
Electabuzz blinked a couple times and found he was staring at the blazing sun. He smiled and went back to sleep, rolling around for a while, enjoying the nice blue sky. He didn't even wonder were he was or what he was doing. He just wanted to relax and bask in the sun. The nice, nice sun. It took him a while to get up. He seemed to be on a wide blue surface. He noticed Magmar sleeping soundly to the right of him. Electabuzz decided to wait longer. He felt like he needed to enjoy this moment. Everything was completely perfect in every way and that's the way he wanted it. Completely perfect. The waves in the water around him brushed softly against the blue surface. Pssshh, pssshh. The wingulls squawking. Squawk, squawkk, squawKK, squawKKK, SQWUAWKKKK, SQUAWKKKKKKKKKRACKKRACKLEKK.
Crap. That word said it all. Electabuzz opened his eyes to lightning and rain. He tried to grasp the nice and soft warmth he had felt in what should have been reality. No luck. He rolled back and forth trying to remember what warmth was like, to feel the sun again. After lots of hopeless trying he gave up and went over to Magmar to wake him up.
"Uhh… what happened?" Magmar said shakily as he slowly got up.
"We fell asleep." Electabuzz replied. "It's probably been days.
"That sucks."
Electabuzz sighed. "Yeah."
"Where's Dusknoir?"
"I dunno." Electabuzz turned around. "I think he's up there, talking to Wailord." He pointed forward, towards Wailord's head. Magmar walked over there as Electabuzz sat down. The rain wasn't as bad, but it was still a seaman's nightmare. As an especially loud crack sounded Electabuzz flinched as a memory flickered into his brain.
Elekid sat by a few puddles in the city playing with his electrical ability. "Haha, look mommy, I made the light bounce."
"That's nice honey." His mother had said, not aware of what would happen if the storm progressed. Yes, a storm. It rained softly and darkness came closer and closer through the gray puffs of thunder and rain.
"Whoa!" Elekid yelled. He started to make an innocent game by seeing how many puddles he could get his electricity to bounce to. It was a matter of power actually. Since water conducts electricity it's spread out through the whole puddle or at least most of it. If Elekid hit it hard enough with his electrical powers though, then it jumped to the closest puddle. It was something his uncle taught him on his last visit. He called it bolt skipping. "Who needs rocks when you can use bolts?" Those were his uncle's words.
Electabuzz frowned as he thought about his uncle. He was a fun guy and couldn't be blamed for the freak incident that shouldn't have been. Only if he hadn't been so stubborn… Life was cruel and things just worked out that way sometimes. Electabuzz had never even thought of bolt skipping again. It hurt too much, but the memory went on.
"Come on, Elekid we have to go," his mother pushed.
"One more! Please!"
"Elekid…"
"Please!"
She sighed "Alright. ONE more, but that's it. Then we go. It's not safe here anymore. I think lightning is coming." She had a worried look on her face.
"Yay!" Elekid smiled. He summed up all his energy into one big bolt and released it. It bounced once and went straight up into the air. His mother saw where the bolt was going and heard a crack. She jumped as fast as her legs would go and pushed Elekid out of the way. "Huh?" Elekid didn't understand why his mom had pushed him.
Bam. Little word. Big explosion. Electabuzz still had scars from it. His mother had sacrificed her life for his. It was horrible. The deafening sound. The flash the electricity brought. What happened was the collusion of his thunderbolt and the lightning. Once they connected the lightning hit all the puddles at once with the enormous amount of energy unleashing a fiery explosion of pain.
"No!!" Elekid yelled. "Wake up!" He nudged his mother over and over again. "Don't go! I'm sorry!" Elekid sobbed over the lifeless body. "Wake up! Wake up!" the puddles around him had doubled in size from rain… and tears.
Electabuzz sighed at the memory. He wanted it to go away, to never come back and leave him alone, but he knew that wasn't gong to happen. Not in a lifetime. He walked up to Dusknoir. "This is hopeless. We're all goners."
Dusknoir turned around. "Me and Wailord realize that. A few more days and we'll starve." Electabuzz just felt the first ache of hunger. It hurt way more than he expected. He was too focused on keeping Wailord conscious this whole time and was too ignorant to notice the food had run out over a week ago. "Now we've decided to head for land. If were lucky we can make it quite easily." Dusknoir smiled.
"That's great news!" Electabuzz cheered happily.
"Are you ready for the bad?"
"Bad news?" Electabuzz frowned.
"We've headed into… err… gyarados territory."
"What's gyarados territory?"
"That's where the gyarados migrate to. It's perfect towards the end of summer. Usually they're up north where it's nice and cold, but towards the end of summer they head south towards tropical waters and that's why the Tropic of Cancer is perfect."
"And we're going to do… what about this?" Magmar butted in.
"Hope for the best!" Wailord boomed, from beneath their feet.
"Typical." Magmar muttered, and walked away. They sailed for a few hours and the sky lightened as they got closer and closer to their destination.
"So where are we going exactly?" Electabuzz asked finally.
"Were headed to Western Sahara. From there we'll make our way across Africa." Dusknoir said.
"What about after Africa?" Electabuzz questioned. "Dusknoir?… Dusknoir?… Dusknoir!"
Dusknoir was dazed. He stared off into the wide-open sea. Suddenly his eyes widened. "Oh no." He whispered. "Oh no." This time more like a shout. "All hands on deck!"
"Wouldn't that be my back?" Wailord chuckled.
"What, what's going on?" Electabuzz yelled.
"A gyarados is in sight." Dusknoir yelled back, now charging a shadow ball. "Prepare."
"C'mon," Magmar nodded at Electabuzz. They walked over to the edge of Wailord. A light shadow lurked in the distance.
"This one's a biggie!"
"I haven't had this much fun in years!"
SPLASH! A wave the size of Wailord emerged from the silent water as a gyarados rose through the sky meeting four times the height of Wailord.
"Damn, that's big." Electabuzz said under his breath.
"Shadow Ball!" Dusknoir released his ball of dark energy. The gyarados didn't expect that so he was taken off guard and smashed backwards. Electabuzz took this chance to release a thunderbolt and blast gyarados. Gyarados had come prepared for that. He twisted his head to the left and dodged it slightly.
"Ha, nice try. What are you doing in gyarados territory?" It growled.
"We would like to pass and enter Africa, which I believe is only 75 miles away." Dusknoir said officially.
"Correct." The gyarados smirked. "And you did not consider the factors of our migratory passage?"
"We did, but time is of the essence. We cannot survive long enough without food to avoid this way.
"Hmm, I like your approach, but that shadow ball cannot go unnoticed."
"Nice," Electabuzz said
"Hydro Pump!"
"Magmar, watch out!"
"Huh?" Water pulsed out of the ocean directing towards Magmar and before he could move he was pushed straight off.
