A/N Hey guys. So, as you know, the last chapter was viciously cliffhangerish. This chapter is quite cliffhangerish too, but thank God I write fast. Co-written with LaLaLaGurl, who has started a fanfic of her own, Imperfection in the Impossible, Nancy Werlin section. We might have to change the rating, since there is some minor bleeding and violence in this. Please R&R!
Eric sprinted up to the sign that marked the center of Pallet Town, and noticed tattoos on the thugs that read "L."
Blood was trickling out the side of April's mouth, so Eric immediately took out his first-aid and patched up April's mouth.
"What are you doing, you dumpster?" asked the plumper of the two thugs, with a very heavy South African accent.
The fat thug took out a knife. The thinner one took out a gun.
"What the hell? Go, Squirtle! Knock off their weapons!" Eric cried.
Squirtle kicked the gun off of the thin thug, but the fat thug had an extremely strong grip.
Eric kicked the fat thug's thighs while Squirtle warded off the thin thug.
"You obnoxious turtle!" the thin thug screamed and threw Squirtle as far as he could. Eric recalled Squirtle just in time. The thinner thug got his gun back and pointed it at April.
"Just let us see the symbol on her Poke Ball, or the Bulbasaur girl gets it!" the thug with the gun threatened.
"Go, Charmander!" Eric heard a voice call.
Alexander?
Charmander shot an Ember at the thug armed with a knife, but he dodged it despite his size.
"Why the hell are you here?" Eric shouted at Alexander, secretly trying to make a diversion.
The gun thug stared at the two.
"Ok, now Squirtle, kick their balls with Tackle!" Eric cried.
The gun thug dropped his gun again. The thug wielding a knife threw it at Squirtle, who used withdraw just in time. The knife bounced off of Squirtle and Eric caught it.
"That is it! Go, Dragonair!" the thug shouted.
"Now, use Hyper Beam!"
…
What happened? Eric thought. He was overjoyed he was actually alive.
Eric opened his eyes and looked around. He was inside an abandoned building in Kanto. Rumors said the building was haunted. He tried to sit up, but he was too weak, he was like an injured fish struggling to escape a shark.
Eric glanced at his watch. It was 8:52. His mom was definitely getting worried. But he couldn't just walk away.
To pass time, he thought of names for a team that started with L. He laughed when he thought of Team Lesbians.
"Eric?" he heard a voice say.
"OMG! You're alive!" Eric cried.
"Yeah, I'm fine," April said.
"Where is Alexander?"
"The Hyper Beam missed him."
Eric tried sitting up. He still couldn't. He didn't feel any injury or weakness now. But he still couldn't.
"Eric, we're imprisoned. Team Laser did it. They attached us to the ground. They also took our Pokémon," April told Eric.
"How do you know so much?" Eric said surprised.
"Because I have brains that are larger than a pea, unlike you," April said.
"Hey!"
"This is going nowhere," April sighed.
After 1 hour of silence, he heard a crack in the roof. Wet cement began to pour in the building.
"We're dead," Eric said blandly.
"We couldn't even have our first battle," April said sadly.
They held their hands for their last moment of life.
Then, the door swung open.
"Welcome to Poke Ghosts, the Live TV show. We are now searching in an abandoned house, in Pallet town," Barry began.
