Chapter 3: Julius BlueFire
Meanwhile in a distant area
In a dense forest, Skarmory and Flygon were wandering amongst the trees on their way to visit their friend Julius BlueFire.
"I sure hope Julius is ready for another day of training." said Skarmory.
"I just hope he isn't asleep again, I don't need another injury like the one he gave me yesterday." said Flygon.
"He was having a bad dream. He didn't know what he was doing." said Skarmory.
"Yeah, but it still hurt, plus I have a bruise on my nose." said Flygon.
Skarmory and Flygon wandered into a clearing where they found a small house. They opened the front door and wandered through the small house until they came to a closed door that led into a bedroom. They heard a loud snoring coming from behind the door.
"Bad news, Flygon, he's asleep." said Skarmory.
"You're waking him up this time." said Flygon.
Skarmory and Flygon wandered into the room and found a teenage boy with long blue hair, wearing long pants and a shirt sprawled across a bed snoring loudly. Upon closer inspection Skarmory and Flygon noticed that a bubble was coming out of Julius's nose.
"What in the world is that coming out of his nose?!!" exclaimed Skarmory.
"I don't know, but I think it is getting bigger." said Flygon.
"Should we pop it." said Skarmory.
"What we, if anyone's going to pop it, you're doing it yourself."
said Flygon.
"Oh all right, fine." said Skarmory.
Skarmory extended one of his sharp razor-like wings and poked the bubble. The bubble immediately popped and a groan was heard.
"Julius, it's time to get up." said Skarmory.
Julius just muttered in his sleep and rolled over. Flygon then grabbed the sheets covering Julius and ripped them off.
"Go away…." said Julius, still half asleep.
"Okay, you asked for it." said Flygon.
Flygon then walked out of the room. Seconds later Flygon ran in and jumped on the bed with such force that Julius was launched into the air and then landed on the floor with a thud. Julius immediately bolted up and looked at Flygon and Skarmory with an annoyed look.
"Aaaggghhh, what the hell's your problem?!!" yelled Julius.
"Well, sorry but you wouldn't wake up. Now get dressed, we've got training to do."
"Man and I was having the most wonderful dream too." said Julius.
Julius grumbled as he walked into the closet and got dressed. Minutes later Julius came out wearing a pair of blue jeans, a shirt with a pokeball on it, a blue denim jacket over his shirt, and a pair of tennis shoes. His long blue hair was tied back in a ponytail and he had a white bandana around his head. Julius rubbed his light blue eyes with his sleeve and followed Flygon and Skarmory outside into the field.
"So what's so important that you woke me up early for?" asked Julius.
"Don't you remember, you promised to come with us on our morning hike/" said Skarmory.
"Can you really call that a promise? You baited me with pizza covered with melted cheese and fresh pepperoni. The taste still haunts me in my dreams." said Julius, as a thin film of drool came out of his mouth.
"Ummm, anyway….we should get started." said Flygon, wanting to avoid the situation.
The three started down a path from Julius's house which led into the forest. The forest was thick and green and sheltered by the sun by the mighty trees that reached up high. Sounds of wild pokemon filled the air around them.
"You know, it's not to bad in here, it seems kind of peaceful actually." said Julius.
"In a bit, there will be a clearing where we can pick some berries and eat for a bit." said Flygon.
Sure enough, after walking a bit more the three came upon a grove where berry trees were growing in mass numbers.
"Whoa…" said Julius.
"I told you this would be worth it." said Skarmory.
Skarmory then gently plucked a berry with his beak and carried it to Julius and dropped it in his hand. Julius slowly bit into the berry and his mouth was full of a sweet tasting liquid. Julius quickly chomped down the berry and plucked another one.
"We better get some too, before Julius eats them all." said Skarmory.
Flygon let out a small laugh and he and Skarmory picked several berries and went over to Julius. The three then sat down and had there fill of berries.
"So where do you want to head from here?" asked Julius.
"I figure we can explore the forest and see what we find." said Skarmory.
"Sounds like fun, I wonder what we will find?" wondered Julius.
Julius stood up and was ready to head off, but just then he had a strange feeling and put his hand on his head. His vision went blurry and for a brief second Julius saw a silhouette of a man and a bright flash.
"Julius, Julius, are you okay?" asked Flygon.
"Yeah, I just had one of my episodes." responded Julius.
"Was there visions this time?" asked Skarmory.
"Yeah, a silhouette of a man appeared. So strange, I've never seen him and yet it felt so familiar." said Julius.
"Ah you're probably just thinking too much. I mean, it's true that you have unusual abilities and all, but how can you possibly know someone you have never met before?" said Flygon.
"Yeah, you're probably right." said Julius.
Within seconds though, Julius felt a strong surge of energy rush through him.
"What's wrong?" asked Skarmory.
"I just sensed an incredible energy, it feels like it's in trouble." said Julius.
As they stood there, there was a loud sound followed by a cry. The three looked up in time to see a mysterious bird like pokemon being chased by an airship. Seconds later the two objects were in the distance.
"What was that?" asked Skarmory.
"I don't know, but I think that Pokemon is in trouble." said Flygon.
"What should we do?" asked Julius.
Skarmory just stared at Julius for a second.
"What, is there something on my face? Is my nose running again?" asked Julius.
"Nevermind, let's just help out." Said Skarmory.
Julius hopped onto Flygon's back and he, Flygon and Skarmory chased after the airship and the mysterious Pokemon.
