Day 26: -Silver's P.O.V.- 8:30 A.M.
I heard a loud squeal terror and whipped my head in the direction of where it was coming from. THAT was definitely Cyndaquil! Ethan treated me with his Paralyz Heal so I was able to freely move around again. "Did you hear that?"
Ethan and Meganium were already running in that direction, "Am I deaf?" he shouted back.
I took off quickly after them, "I was just asking, you arse!"
We hurried our way to another berry tree I haven't noticed [or cared] about to see an injured and terrified Caterpie and a shaking Cyndaquil. Our eyes widened in shock. 'Oly fuck. . . We are SCREWED!'
The Fearows caw-ed and opened their wings to show how big and tough they were. I reached towards my hip holster for Feraligatr but I remember that Lyra took him with her.
"MEGANIUM! Use Vine Whip!"
Meganium's whips shot out at the Fearow, whacking all of them at once away from the helpless Pokémon. The birds screeched and turned their heads towards us. I grabbed another pokeball, "Go CROWBAT!"
The purple bat appeared in front of us, "CROWBAT, use Bite!" Crowbat swooped into the fight and attempted to bite the oversized birds. They all dodged his bites and used peck on both Meganium and Crowbat, who stood in defense for the tiny fire and bug type.
"MEGANIUM, use Stun Spore!" "CROWBAT, use Crunch!"
Crowbat bit all of them and Meganium followed up with the paralysis pollen. The Fearows were paralyzed of course, but something was weird about this situation. I had a feeling that some kind of ironic situation was going to occur.
All three Fearows forced against their paralyzed state and ate a berry. They squawked in anger as they were free from their status problem. 'You've got to be kidding me. . .'
-Cyndaquil's P.O.V.-
Despite my fear, I managed to look at Caterpie in confusion. Did you. . .?
Caterpie started to tear up in guilt. I-I gave them the berries that takes away their stiff problems. B-But I thought they were hungry. . .!
That explained it, but that did not help the situation. In fact, it made it worse. B-But, Uncle Ethan, Uncle Meganium, Uncle Silver, and Uncle Crowbat could fight those bad birds off. . . could they? I felt really really sad as I watched my uncles fought really hard for me. . . a-and I couldn't do a thing to help. . . W-Wait. . .!
Cyndaquil! W-What are you-?
Before my uncles could realize it, I jumped into the fight, ready to have my first Pokémon battle of my life! I growled at the large birds as intimidating as I could, but it doesn't seem to do a very big effect. If anything, they seemed more amused than threatened. My uncles were not happy with my choice.
"Cyndaquil! What are you doing! Get your little butt here now!" Uncle Silver and Uncle Ethan yelled. . . . . .What was that big word that grown-ups use when they say something at the same time. . .? Whatever it is, I refused to move from my spot! I knew some decent moves! I said I wanted to be just like daddy when I grew up and I'll be just like daddy!
The Fearows seemed to understand that I wanted to fight, so the biggest one stepped out while the other two backed away. I felt my knees shiver a little, but I ignored it because I'm learning how to be a grown up and defending those I love! And the first thing I did was charge into that mean ol' bird with my Tackle.
The big bird lifted his foot and rolled me away without any effort. I went rolling like a ball into the nearest tree. I wanted to cry as I heard the Fearows cackling at little me.
-Silver's P.O.V.-
I growled, what the hell was I waiting for! I reached into my holster to grab another Pokémon only to be stopped by Ethan. "What the hell are you doing?"
Ethan had this strange look on his face as if he was indulged into the fight or trying to analyze it. I couldn't read this ass' mind and I kind of don't want to. "Look. . ." He pointed to Cyndaquil as the fire mouse got up from the spot he was. I couldn't explain why, but it was like I became in the same state as Ethan as I continued to watch the fire-breather. Something was definitely different but I couldn't put my finger on it.
Cyndaquil got up and charged at the large bird again. He jumped into the air as quickly as he could and used scratch on the leader's face. "Wooooo! Go Cyndaquil!" Ethan cheered for Cyndaquil. Soon I found myself giving a smile of satisfaction, but I rather not cheer out.
Fearow didn't seem fazed by his attack; in fact, it only left a small scratch on his face. He looks pretty annoyed now. My eyes widened, 'Oh shit. . .!'
Before I could warn Cyndaquil to stop, he charged and jumped at the large bird once again. This time Fearow took this fight seriously. He charged against Cyndaquil and slammed into him pretty hard. We all gasp as Cyndaquil squeals and gets flung back. Ethan caught him but it seemed like even Fearow's slam was strong enough to knock Ethan back a few feet away off his feet. Meganium, Crowbat, and I ran over towards their side. "Are you guys all right?"
Ethan grunted and nodded. He sat up holding the currently injured fire baby. I could have cried a river as looked at Cyndaquil's body just laid there as if he were lifeless.
I growled and whipped my head to turn to face the Fearows, I would've fought them myself until I noticed something a little different. The two smaller Fearows had this look of shock and disgust to their "leader". It seemed like the three Fearows were having an argument over what the biggest bird just did. Remorse filled the smaller Fearows' faces while they looked at Cyndaquil. The leader just seemed proud of his accomplishment that also held this, "don't like it? Then fuck off" expression.
I gritted my teeth in fury as I was ready to take down that Fearow myself, until Cyndaquil started changing. We all turned our attention towards Cyndaquil as he was shaking while curled up. I was confused as what he was doing until large flames shot out from his back and mouth, pretty much burning everywhere near. We all managed to dodge the flame except Ethan. His face and hair became crispy bacon. I couldn't help but snicker. "The things you see when you don't have a camera."
Putting aside my joke, we all watched as Cyndaquil change. Not in the way of where if he was to evolve, but as if he changed into an entirely different personality. The fires on his back raged and his mouth spewed controlled fire. He hopped off Ethan's stomach and landed back onto the battle field. Leader Fearow smirked as he realized that he became a new challenge, but supposedly no different than an easy fight. He spread his wings out again and took off into the air. Leader Fearow plunges back like a drill. I gulped, 'Drill peck. . .'
Cyndaquil dodged quickly to avoid the move, which sent Fearow crashing into the ground and creating a decent size crack in the battlegrounds. As Cyndaquil jumped up, the ever so clichéd scene of the sun shining against his back occurs. Cyndaquil's stomach inflated to a large degree and spewed out an overpowering rope of fire at the leader. I was shocked, it was Fire Spin. The leader flapped his wings in an attempt to release himself from his fiery dungeon. After Cyndaquil lands back down, he quickly takes a deep breath and releases another blast of fire at the Leader Fearow.
Leader Fearow. . . was finally defeated. I couldn't help but feel this overwhelming feeling of relief, joy, and pride for Typhlosion's baby. Cyndaquil has won his first fight against an advanced Pokémon. I was definitely proud to say I knew that kid. The fire retracted from his back and he huffed and puffed a little. I walked over and picked him up, I gave him a rare smile. "You did very well, Cyndaquil. I'm proud of you."
Cyndaquil seemed very pleased by that comment and snuggled into my hands. I walked over to everyone else and placed Cyndaquil down by the injured Caterpie.
They seemed to be cheerful as they made noises of celebration. I looked at Ethan, "Do you think you have anything that could heal this Poké-OWWW!"
Ethan and I were being mobbed by something again! I think it was the Butterfree. Dang it! Can't she see we're trying to help her!
Caterpie gave his mother a look that shows that she could ease off of us. She lands next to her baby and snuggles him affectionately. I rubbed my head, "Continuing what I said, do you have anything that could help Caterpie, Ethan?" He looked surprised at my question.
-Ethan's P.O.V.-
"Uhh. . . Oh yeah! I do!" I reached into my bag and pulled out a Super Potion for Caterpie and it started healing him instantly. Soon Caterpie was once again fit as he could be. Cyndaquil danced for joy and hugged the squishy worm. Butterfree hugged her baby once again I gave us a grateful look.
Ethan and I stood up simultaneously and gave her a nod with matching smiles. Then we glared at each other once again, "Great minds do NOT think alike, mismatched bastard!"
I smirked at him, "Exactly what I was thinking, brat," We gave each other a deadpanned look and turned our heads away.
"Forget we ever said anything." "Agreed."
-Ethan's P.O.V.- 3 P.M.
"It was soo funny guys! I wished you guys were here to see how funny Lance is when Claire is giving him PMS-ing problems!" Lyra laughed.
She called us not too long ago to give us a report about what it was like over there. Lance is having trouble dealing with his cousin on her monthly. We all were having a great time listening to Lyra's stories and eating poffins, of course, with Cyndaquil on Silver's lap.
"Oh! How was watching Cyndaquil, Silver?" Lyra asked with a big smile on her face. Silver almost choked on his bitter poffin. I don't blame him. After today's incident, who could blame him for trying to come up with some lame-brain excuse? He really should man up and tell her that it was horrible and he was being very irresponsible.
"W-Well. . . Y-You see. . ." Lyra tilted her head in confusion. I don't know why, and don't ever ask, but I cut Silver off.
"It was pretty hectic. Cyndaquil was being a very naughty boy and decided to trash some things around the house." Lyra sighed.
"Oh dear. . . Mom is going to be pissed. . ." I gave her a victory sign.
"Don't worry! Dragonite cleaned it up already!" She gave a sigh of relief and thanked us and Dragonite.
"Well, Silver. I have a feeling that you're pretty worn out from today." I coughed under my breath, 'More than you can imagine. . .'
"Ethan? For tomorrow can you take care of Cyndaquil for me? Silver is probably exhausted and he needs some rest. Do you mind. . .?" I shook my head with a goofy grin.
"No problem! I'll take good care of the munchkin!" Soon afterward there was a solid object that flew past, behind Lyra and crashed. Some added screaming, both male and female were in the background. We all sweat dropped.
"Looks like I have to go guys! I'll talk to you later and see you tomorrow night!" With that, Lyra hung up to attend to Lance's defense. Silver looked at me.
"Why did you defend me? You could have ratted me out since I was being irresponsible. . ." I turned away from him, crossing my arms.
"I-I can't stand to see Lyra getting mad. You're the only guy she's ever liked this much. . . And if it makes her happy. . . I'll try to call it a truce between us." Silver, just as surprised as what I just said, nodded. We shook hands with a smirk.
"But that doesn't mean I like you!" Silver gave a bigger smirk, "My thoughts exactly, brat."
Author's Conversation Rant: And there goes an ending to another chapter! :D I believe I managed to post up either 3 or 4 chapters today. . . I think it was 4. . . yeah. . . 4. xD I forgot to mention this, but I could have sworn I posted up chapter 14 a long time ago before I lost my writer's spark. I guess not since I didn't see it when I was adding more chapters. Well, I hope this makes up for a lot of the time I missed from not being able to post due to whatever reason I had. T_T;;; Please forgive me! *Bows low* But I must say, I AM satisfied with posting up 4 chapters. Worked on 3, which I started, finished and added today. And once again, I have this determination to finish the story. Which sadly, I am finishing very soon. Despite all this, I have a planned one or two shot epilogue to this story. . . That is if you guys cared. T-T I hope you guys do!
I kind of need an opinion though. I've been hooked onto the game Okamiden for the DS for a while now and I've been thinking about doing a fanfiction on it as well. Have you guys played this game before? Should I do a fanfiction on it? I have a pretty decent idea of a plot for the Okamiden fanfic. So far Pokémon fanfic ideas are drawing up a blank for me, so I don't really want to do a Pokémon fanfic yet. :/ Please leave your thoughts in a review/message or something. Thank you and I hope you enjoy!
