VulpixTrainer: Okay all I have to say is thank you for all of the support in the reviews, so now that is said on to chapter 15
League Experience
(One week till Pokemon Conference)
Matt was once again training hard working hard as ever, he now can stay up on his feet for about half an hour but still has to take it easy. "Sir Thief lets try that Hyper Fang now." Matt issued pointing to a piece of hard wood that could handle a lot of attacks
"Rattata" (Charge) he then ran forward and opened his moth and then sank his teeth into the wood causing a small split to open running the length of the log "Rattata ta tata" (Great I think it's splitting) he then walked back as Matt hearing the sound of wood splitting went over to inspect the log only to shack his head
"I guess when they say lasts for one hundred attacks they mean one hundred, that was number ninety three." Turning to the others of his team he said, "Why don't we head back home to take a good break, we've been training now for about three hours and frankly I'm getting tired again." This was responded to by the whole team shouting in agreement, the reason being that Mrs. Vixen usually makes some great Pokemon Cookies.
At the house the entire family along with Becky and the Sparks where setting up once again another type of banner, this one saying "Greeting Torch Bearer" for in two day the flame of Moltres will be carried through their Village and every one had held a very serious meeting on learning that only one from the Village could carry the flame. The reason for the meeting was to decide who have the people would carry the torch, and well by the banner you can guess who was nominated.
"Mom I'm home." Matt announced when he got home, it was then that he noticed that their where streamers hanging from the Door frame leading to the Living room. His curiosity perked he walks into the room only to be assaulted by the shouts of "Congratulations Matthew" Matt taken totally by surprise sits down heavily into the nearest armchair (That being the only type of chair in the room) and just stared at the banner hanging over the T.V. and just sat there with his moth slightly opened in shock. After about three minutes he stammers, "What? How? When?" he then takes a breath before asking the question that he was trying to ask that was on his mind at this moment, "Why me? Isn't there some one more worthy? I mean I'm just sixteen and not even one badge." He then takes a breath before his mother butted in.
"Because, you have shown through out your whole life that you have your own personal flame burning inside you, you have never gotten down, if life knocked you down you just got back up and when you thought you where ready you went after it again. Also you have courage that has been surprising even to me. These are things that Moltres is revered for, things that you have shown in your personal battles with being unable to go out at ten, the way you brought good feeling when ever you're around," she then takes a breath before finishing, "That is why the city council elected you to carry the torch for our Village." She then stops looking like she had said something that she has been proud to say, but also unsure how to say it
"This is an honor, I'm just shocked that this is going to happen, I mean I'm going to be holding a piece of flames from Moltres himself." Turning to face everyone that was gathered there and with sincerity in his voice which almost breaking told the group gathered, "Thank you, and thank you so much, I will be honored to represent to village." He then gets a confused look on his face. "Uh who's going to help out? I'm still weak from the surgery and still am having trouble getting around."
"I am going to be pushing the wheel chair through the route." Becky interjected as she leaned against the wall next to the window letting in the now afternoon sun. "They've all planed out what's going to happen, in fact I had no say in this what so ever." As she said the last part Matt could help but notice that there was this huge grin on her face. "So lets get you ready for in a few more days that flame will be in your hands and the league will rest on you for about ten minutes." The last part she said without thinking that in fact a whole Television crew would in fact be hounding the area on that day.
"Yeah, but don't forget that all of Kanto will be watching the flame, so lets be as serious as we can." Matt replied to Becky, kindly reminding her that the world would be watching their small Village in Mt. Moon region.
(Two days later, Main Street)
"Hello out there this is Dora Ancon, reporting from the Main Street of this sleepy little Village called Vulpix Village where in just a few minutes the torch of the Indigo Plateau will be handed to a sixteen year old that is recovering from a surgery in the early part of the Gym Circuit, rendering him unable to continue… wait a minute here it comes now, the runner is coming into the outskirts of the Village and now he's bending down to give Matthew V. Brown the flame, it has ignited and now Becky S. White, who is pushing the wheel chair and turned him around and is now pushing him along the street, wow, he must be very well like you should hear the crowd cheer them on," the screen during the whole time was centered on Matt in his wheel chair wearing the cloths of a runner, along with Becky also wearing runner's cloths, both looking like they where in heaven.
Wow, I am actually holding the flame of Moltres, this is an extreme honor, I don't even care if I even get to the top sixteen in the plateau, and this is just enough of an honor. Matt thought as he neared the end of his part of the Journey of the Flame, soon he is in front of the next runner a Young Man in his early twenty's who had a mustache and beard both brown and also wearing hippie glasses, he bends down and Matt lights his torch and he turns and starts running down the lane. Matt then gazes up to the sky thanking Moltres, I have a funny feeling that you have a say in who carries your flame, so thank you, thank you for letting me carry it for the small time that I did. It was then that for the briefest moment just between two white clouds, he thought he saw a bird with wings aflame and then it was gone, so quick that if you weren't looking right at that spot you would have missed it, Matt didn't miss it.
VulpixTrainer: Before anyone sends a flame about Mary-Sue stuff, this was part of the plan for Matt to carry the torch since he was unable to go to the league, as for the Moltres scene, that just came right at the moment I typed it so, now that I look at it, what a great way to end a chapter.
Kyle: and as always, please review on the chapter's
