Well here's another chapter, I hope you enjoy the story.
-I don't own pokemon,
Chapter 4
Super flop
The two companions pressed onward through the forest making their way past thick vegetation. When they made it to a relatively clear spot Lilly groaned and dropped down to her knees. Her stomach rumbled and she blushed.
"What kind of food did you bring," she groaned, "I didn't even have breakfast"
"Well," he said digging into his pack, "I have chips, and dots, and…a couple of sodas, and some cookies," he answered.
"Didn't you bring any real food," she inquired.
"Well not really," he answered reluctantly.
"Why didn't you," she growled.
"I figured we'd be in pewter by now," he commented.
"Oh, sorry about that, it is all my fault we're lost," she sighed.
"Yeah, I guess so," he mumbled.
"You weren't supposed to agree with me," she snapped.
"Uh, okay it isn't your fault," he quickly said with a sigh.
"So, do you…"he began when she took one of the cans of soda and popped it open.
She took a couple gulps and whipped her mouth and then smile. He opened the bag of chips and offered her some. The two of them sat down on a nearby rock while they had their snack.
"You think Eveith's all right now, I mean recovered from that last battle," she asked.
"Probably," he said before taking a sip of his own soda.
She took Eveith's pokeball and threw it. The pokeball opened and her pokemon appeared in a flash, the ball landing back in her hand. The pokemon cried happily upon seeing her trainer and ran over to her. She pat her Eevee on the head and her pokemon smiled.
"I'm glad you're okay now Eveith," she told the pokemon.
Her pokemon smiled and began to run around the small clearing. Suddenly it stopped and stared at something. Lilly went over to her pokemon to see what it was looking at. The object in question was a small green stone with the imprint of a leaf on it.
"I wonder what this is," she commented as she picked it up.
She shrugged and placed the stone in her pack.
"Let's try this way next," Chad said putting the snack food away.
She recalled her Eevee and followed him through the foliage. After a little while they came to a beaten path.
"Awesome, all we need to do is follow this and we'll soon be in pewter city," Chad commented.
The two of them quickly continued down the path and soon were standing before pewter city. The elevation dropped down a tad on the way to the quaint town, aptly nicknamed the stone grey city. Lilly looked on in awe.
"So this is pewter city," she commented.
She then ran down the hill towards the city. She looked around in fascination at the various buildings. She stopped short and looked around wondering where Chad had gone. She shrugged and began looking for the gym. Just then someone called out to her.
"Hey young lass, come here a moment," someone called to her.
She turned to see a man behind the counter of a small stand. He had on a blue robe and a white head band. There was a box of pokeballs behind him.
"Yeah, you, come here a moment," he called to her.
She walked over to his stand.
"What is it that you want?" she inquired.
"I couldn't help but notice that you were a pokemon trainer, and have I got a bargain for you," he replied.
"Really, what is it?" she asked.
"It's a super pokemon really, fast like lightning, and strong to boot," he continued.
"Really, you can buy pokemon, I wonder if I have enough," she wondered.
"Well, I can't let em go for any less than five hundred yen," he commented.
"Well I've got that," she said pulling some money out of her trainer bag.
"Then you'll buy?" he asked.
"Are you kidding?" she replied.
He gulped.
"Of course I will," she exclaimed.
She gave him the money and he handed her a pokeball. She grinned looking at the ball she'd just bought.
"I wonder want kind of pokemon it is," she pondered.
She held the pokeball up.
"Well there's only one way to find out," she said as she prepared to throw the ball.
The man gulped. The ball opened and an orange fish appeared flopping. She stared at the pokemon for a few moments. The shopkeeper tensed up.
"It's…so cute," she exclaimed as she recalled the pokemon and put the ball away.
The man breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thanks mister," she said waving to him as she walked away.
She began looking around again, but she didn't see the gym or Chad.
"There you are," Chad's voice called out suddenly.
"Oh, Chad, where did you go?" she inquired.
"I was wondering the same thing about you," he replied.
"Oh, I guess I did run ahead, sorry about that," she replied reluctantly.
"It's okay, just don't run off without me again, I don't want to miss out on anything," he commented.
"So…did you see the gym yet, this town does have a gym right, I'm ready," she commented.
"I think maybe we should check out a few other things first," Chad replied.
"Like what?" she inquired.
"How about the museum, there's a new space exhibit," he replied.
"I'd rather go to the gym," she groaned.
"There are also pokemon fossils on display," he added.
"Oh yeah, I heard about those little cuties in history books, I've got to see them come on," she said excitedly pulling him along.
"Wait, the museum is the other way," he commented.
"Uh…my bad," she commented reluctantly.
"Why don't you lead the way?" she told him.
"Uh, sure," he replied.
Before long they were standing before the entrance to the pewter city museum.
"Wow it's much bigger than I thought," she commented.
The two of them walked inside.
"Welcome to the pewter city museum," a lady behind a counter stated as they entered.
"Admission is 50 yen a piece," she informed them.
Chad reached into his pocket and gave her 100 yen.
"Thank you, enjoy your visit," she said kindly.
In the main area of the museum was the skeleton of an areodactyl hanging from the ceiling, suspended by wires. Below it was a raised platform made to look like a large rock with a kabutops and two omanyte fossils positioned on it. Lilly rushed up to the exhibit and looked at each of them in awe.
"Wow, so awesome, too bad they're only fossils though, they were probably such cute little pokemon," Lilly giggled.
"Cute," Chad said questioningly looking at the areodactyl and kabutops skeletons.
"Well I guess we could go see that space thing now," Lilly commented.
"Hey, don't do that," the lady called out.
Just then there was a loud bang. They turned just in time to see the end of the explosion, pieces of the shattered wall landing at their feet, the force of the explosion almost knocking them down. When the dust cleared a shady person like the one near the forest recalled his fainted voltorb. Lilly quickly ran towards him, Chad closely following.
"What are you doing, you could have hurt someone," Lilly scolded before he stepped through the hole he had created.
"What's it to you anyways twerp," he commented.
"You're up to no good aren't you," she said reaching for her pokeballs.
"As a matter of fact I'm here to take the fossil they found, and I'm not letting some snot nose brat stop me," he commented switching voltorbs ball for another.
"Get out there dimstar," he commanded.
He threw the ball and in a flash another dark star appeared, this one however had only a single eye. She quickly pointed her special pokedex and download data on the strange pokemon.
"Come on out Eveith," Lilly exclaimed.
She threw the ball and her Eevee appeared in a flash.
"Heh, that's all, too bad, dimstar use dusk beam," he ordered.
His pokemon began to spin around.
"Um, Eveith use tackle," Lilly exclaimed.
She began to run towards the star when the eye began to glow. Just after Eveith leapt towards the star the pokemon fired a beam of darkness form its eye, hitting Eveith sending her across the floor.
"Maybe looking at the information the pokedex gathered will help," Chad suggested.
"Uh, okay," she said as she flipped it open.
"Dimstar, the dark star pokemon, it specializes in antigravity and dark energy," explained the pokedex as her pokemon got back up.
"Well I guess we'll just have to try to avoid that attack," Lilly commented.
"I'd like to see you try, dimstar dusk beam once more," he ordered.
His pokemon began to spin.
"Um, try to avoid it," Lilly told her.
The eye glowed and fired again. Her Eevee tried to avoid the attack but got hit in the side and tumbled to the ground.
"you're pathetic, you're hardly worth my time, so I mind as well finish you off now, unleash furry with dark blast" he exclaimed.
A dark aura began to form around the star pokemon and it fired a pitch black beam.
"Eveith," Lilly cried out as the beam drew near.
When the beam hit a huge cloud of dust exploded into the air. When the dust cleared Lilly saw that Eveith had somehow avoided the attack, and had zoomed towards her foe delivering a lightning fast attack.
"That…that was quick attack," Lilly commented happily.
Dimstar however was floating in place. The stars trainer growled.
"Use tackle attack," Lilly ordered.
She leapt and struck knocking the pokemon to the floor and out. He recalled his pokemon and fled.
"Um…why didn't he do anything after that big attack," Lilly asked curiously.
"Well it was probably to powerful," he commented.
"What do you mean," she inquired.
"Dimstar used up a lot of energy on that one attack and had to recharge leaving it vulnerable, especially since it missed," he explained.
"Well I guess that makes sense," Lilly replied.
"Oh, thank you for chasing that thug away, you're a trainer right, can you do something for me," asked a man in a lab coat as he came through the opening.
"Sure, what is it," Lilly inquired curiously.
"Well, I think there's pokemon D.N.A. in this chunk of amber, but my colleges doubt it, can you take it to the lab on cinnabar island for me," he asked her.
"Well there is a gym there, sure thing," Lilly replied.
"Great, you're going to need these then, they're tickets for the fairy from fuchsia city to Cinnabar Island, they're round trip too," he explained.
"Thanks," she said putting the amber and tickets in her bag.
"Now, on to the gym," Lilly exclaimed as ran out the entrance, Chad running behind her.
