Pokémon: Team Infinity
Chapter 3: First Adventure
Two front paws woke Zane up, shaking him. "Zane! Hey! Wake up!" Darcy called. Zane opened his eyes and yawned. He saw the morning sun lighting the cave's exit and entrance. Zane got up. "Well...I guess we move on." zane said, walking away. Darcy got up and followed Zane. They walked through the large forest, not saying a word to each other. Finally, Darcy broke the silence. "Zane? What do we do now?" she asked. Zane didn't answer. He hung his head and answered to Darcy. "*Sigh*...I don't know. We should probably find a nearest town, and...live there for now." "Why not form a team?" darcy asked, her Umbreon tail shaking. Zane turned to her. "A team?" he asked. Darcy nodded her head. "I thought up the idea last night! We can't let those monsters take what we once had! We should take back what was once ours, pride!" darcy said. Zane stopped walking and stared at darcy. It's not a bad idea, zane did want revenge. Just when zane was going to say something,
"HELP!"
Darcy and zane heard a pleading cry near bushes. Zane and darcy ran to it and an espeon ran past them, as fast as she could. "Who was-" darcy said. Then, the ground shook, like footsteps were causing it. Zane turned and cried, "MOVE!" he pushed darcy out of the way and a Haxorus ran past the, roaring angrily. "Stop her!" he yelled. Zane and darcy watched Haxorus angrily run after the espeon. "Sh-should we help!?" Darcy cried. "What kind of question is that!? Let's go!" zane answered, running after the Haxorus as darcy followed him. The Espeon kept running, panting as she ran into a dead end of the forest. She heard the Haxorus roar as she turned around. "I got you know! Hand it over, Mist!" Haxorus roared. "N-no, Fang! I won't this stone belongs to my father and you know it!" The espeon cried, pulling out a blue stone from her satchel. Fang angrily growled. "Does it look like I give a shit? Hand it over!" Fang growled, walking closer to mist. "H-HELP!" mist screamed. Then,
"Shadow Ball!"
A shadow ball attack flew behind fang and hit his back. He grunted, turning around as he saw Darcy and Zane running towards them. "Leave her alone!" darcy yelled, unleashing another shadow ball at fang. Fang deflected it with his tail. "Who the hell do you think you are!?" fang growled. Zane ran to the Haxorus, disappeared, and went in front of the shivering espeon. "I should say the same thing!" zane growled. Fang chuckled, "Such speed you have. Your little friend too, but, I'm giving up until you step away from that espeon!" Zane prepared his horn for another razor wind. "Come at me, bro." zane said. Fang stepped back and yelled, "Dragon Rage!" Fang unleash a purple beam at zane and mist. Darcy acted quick, she used her quick attack to quickly push mist out of the way and zane dodged it. "Are you okay?" darcy asked mist. Mist nodded as she watched zane fight the strong dragon type Pokémon. "Bite!" zane yelled, running up to the Haxorus and bite his face. Fang screamed as he tried shaking the absol off of him. Fang saw a large tree and ran to it. Zane saw what he was doing and he quickly jumped off of fang, making fang crash himself to a tree. "Heh. You're strong, but stupid." zane smirked. "Believe me, I'm just getting started! Dragon Dance!" Fang yelled as his body glowed brightly. Zane was confused at first, until fang's attack and speed was boosted. "Dual Chop!" Fang yelled, hitting zane's body over and over again. Zane screamed as he fell to the ground. Zane started to get up, but fang yelled, "Giga Impact!" Fang was charging to Zane. Zane couldn't move due to the amount of damage he had. Then, Darcy ran in front of Zane and yelled, "Flash!" Darcy's rings on her body glowed super brightly, causing Fang to lose focus and blind him. "AAHH! My eyes! You little brats!" fang cried, trying to see again. "Now's our chance! Come on!" darcy cried, helping zane up and they ran with the espeon away from the angry Haxorus.
When they finally had a great distance from fang, they took a rest near a lake. "Are...are you oka-" zane panted as he turned to mist. Mist suddenly ran to zane and nuzzled him, sobbing. "Th-thank you! Thank you so much! I-I thought I was finished and fang was going to kill me and...and...and!" mist sobbed, burying her face into zane's chest. Zane found himself blushing, hard. Darcy growled at zane and stubbornly turned away. "U-um..." zane said, gently pushing Mist away from him. "S-so...what's your name?" he stuttered. "Oh! I'm sorry. I-I'm Mist!" mist answered. "I'm Zane, and this is my friend Darcy." zane said, introducing himself and darcy. Mist smiled at Darcy and said, "You must be the brave Umbreon that saved me and zane! Thanks!" Darcy looked away from mist and said, "Yeah...whatever." "Darcy!" zane growled. "No! No! It's alright! I get that kind of attitude a lot." mist said, looking at zane. Zane blushed again. "So, do you have a family you need to head to?" zane asked, trying not to blush in front of mist. "Actually. Yeah. But, they don't like outsiders." mist answered. "G-great! How far is it?" zane said, relieved. "It's over that mountain." mist pointed, behind zane. Zane slowly turned around and saw a huge mountain. "Well...damn it." zane sighed. "You won't help me?" Mist asked, giving zane a very pleading look. "I-I-I...didn't say-" zane answered, finding his heart beating fast. "Please?" mist said, looking deeply into zane's red eyes. "O-okay! Okay, we will, right darcy?" zane answered, turning to the pissed off Umbreon, fire angrily surrounding her body. "SURE!" she growled, angrily stomping towards the mountain. "Oh my...Darcy. She doesn't like me." mist said, sadly. "Don't worry, I'll deal with this." zane said, running to catch up to darcy. Darcy walked angrily as zane ran in front of her. "What the hell is the matter with you!?" zane yelled at her. "I should say the same thing to you! Why were you staring at her like that?! You just met!" Darcy yelled. "Why are you so mean to her?! You just met!" Zane yelled. "Are you saying I should TRUST that espeon!?" darcy asked. "Yeah! She wanted US to help her!" zane yelled. "Yeah, HELP! Not stare at her and let her nuzzle me!" darcy yelled. Zane sighed, calming down.
"Alright darcy, I'm going to ask you a very serious question." zane said. "What?" darcy growled. Zane took a deep breath and asked her, "Darcy. Are you jealous?" "NO! I just met her!" Darcy yelled. Zane suddenly stepped closer to darcy and stared deeply into her eyes. "Wh-what are you...?" darcy asked, blushing. "Look at me deep in the eyes and say that you're not jealous." zane said. Darcy stared into zane, blushed into a crimson red, and stepped back. "I-I said no! Let's just help that espeon!" darcy growled, walking back to Mist. Zane watched darcy and followed her.
