Finally, I updated this! You wouldn't believe it but I am writing this chapter from a month and a half, nearly 40 words a day. Yeah I'm kidding about the 40 words thing. As my college started I barely got time to eat let alone sit down and write. But with the half yearly vacations coming near, I hope I can update more.
Till then enjoy this,
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon in any way. Satoshi Tajiri and his team own it while I am just a fan of this franchisee and love to write about it…
However, I do own the plot and the OC's.
In addition, all the characters in this story are fictional and bear no resemblance to any human dead or alive!
Chapter 5: Saved for the second time!
It's been a week, I started my adventure and I never believed it to be filled with so many surprises. First an egg for starter, then meeting Alder, the champion, getting his super secretive parcel, having a travel companion and god knows what awaits more. These thoughts went through my mind as I walked towards Alder's house. To my left was Sabrina with her Eevee. And to my right walked Riolu. The egg was in my hand.
It was early morning and so the streets of Floccesy were quite empty. It felt refreshing as we walked down the road towards Alder's.
"So what is so secretive about this parcel you have got?" Sabrina asked.
"I don't know much about it. To tell the truth I don't know anything about it," I replied.
"It looks like it is quite important!"
"Yeah seems like it!" I said looking it in my bag. But suddenly something struck me very hard in my back. I crashed down on the road.
"Leo! Are you okay?" Sabrina helped me up.
"What happened?" She asked.
"Something struck me hard making me crash!"
"But what?"
"RI…Ri…olu!" But before I could answer her Riolu cried out making me to look at him.
"Eevee!" I saw Eevee and Riolu facing towards a black floating Pokémon. It was also holding something in its hand. I noticed that it was… MY EGG IN ITS HANDS!
I looked in my hands to find nothing. I jolted up in the air and shouted,
"MY EGG!" Sabrina also noticed it.
"Give me my egg back!" I demanded but it just smiled at me wickedly.
"Hell, what does it want with the egg!" Sabrina exclaimed.
"Give it back to me or else…" I shouted towards it only to see it showing me its tongue.
"Then take this! Eevee, tackle!" Sabrina ordered.
"EEVEE!" It cried as it ran towards the Pokémon. But Eevee just went through it like it was nothing but made up of gas or air.
It appeared again and started laughing loudly.
"Riolu, Low kick!" I said as Riolu went running towards it, jumped up a little and gave it a low kick. But before the attack could make a hit, a voice ordered it to dodge and the Pokémon dodged it.
"Don't bother Leo! It's no use to try to get back the egg," A figure approached from the dark.
"Who are you and what do you want with my egg?"
"I don't need to introduce myself and as for the egg, it was never yours. It belonged to Team Warhawk and still does," The figure took the shape of a man in clothes which seemed like I have seen somewhere.
"Team Warhawk! The one who were behind the egg!"
"You seem to remember our silly members. God knows why the boss recruited those idiots! But that aside, you seem to have taken good care of this egg for us but now we are taking it back! Let's go Yamask," The Pokémon apparently named Yamask handed the egg to his trainer or whatever he was and started walking away.
"Hey wait, you just can't take my egg and yes its mine, my starter away from me, I challenge you to battle!"
"You? Want to battle me? You surely are funny!"
"What's so funny about it? I challenge you to a 1-on-1 battle! You're Yamask versus my Riolu!"
"You seem to have taken quite a liking towards the egg but no matter what you aren't getting the egg back but I do accept your challenge."
"So let's start it."
We both got into position for the match. I was confident about winning it and getting my egg back. The sun had already up and it was all bright.
"Let's start it! Riolu low kick!" Riolu ran again towards it.
"Dodge." He ordered calmly as his Yamask disappeared into thin air.
"Now Shadow ball!" Suddenly a dark ball came towards Riolu striking it hard into stomach. Riolu was onto his feet again in no time but it did hurt.
"Come on Riolu, we can't let him beat us. There is too much at stake,"
"Riolu!" He cried as he concentrated and created a ball of blue fire and sent it towards Yamask.
"Use shadow ball to counter it," he said as the Yamask made a dark ball of power and sent towards Riolu. Both the attacks made a big explosion at the attack and both Riolu and Yamask crashed into the ground.
"Riolu…" I cried only to find out that he had fainted. As the dust cleared, I looked towards the Yamask. But to everyone's surprise, it was still floating in mid-air.
"What the hell?"
"It can't be…"
"I said you won't be able to give me any competition, but you had to battle! Let's go Yamask!" But before he could call his Pokémon back, a big punch hit the Yamask as the Yamask fell down on to the ground. We looked at the thing that actually hit the Yamask.
"A Scizor!" I said as I identified the red Pokémon standing in front of the fallen Yamask.
"I heard you were stealing someone's poke-egg here, is that right?" I looked behind me to find a boy. He was wearing a hat (a very big hat) which hid his face.
"Who are you to ask me?" the Warhawk replied.
"My name? It's not that necessary but saving that egg from you, now that's damn necessary," The boy replied with a smirk and a nod.
"So you want to fight for it, you got it! But…"
"But what?"
"But if you lose, the Scizor will be mine!" The smirk from the boy's face disappeared. He looked at me for a while, then at the egg and then towards his Scizor.
"It's on!" He said with a smirky tone. On hearing this, the Warhawk member called back his Yamask and sent out another pokeball in air.
"Go, Chandelure!" The ball opened and out came a black colored lamp like Pokémon with blue flame on each of its four arms. It looked more eerie than Yamask.
"Let's show them who's the boss here, Kenny! Steel Wing!" He called as the Scizor ran at extreme speed towards the Chandelure as his wings glistened up.
"Chandelure, stop it with Fire Spin!" The blue flames on its arms grew bigger and engulfed Scizor.
"Oh no…" I gasped at the site. But out of the flames came out Scizor crashing into the Chandelure. The attack hit perfectly and Chandelure fell onto the ground. Scizor landed safely but seemed quite hurt due to the flames.
"He is hurt!" Sabrina exclaimed.
"Don't worry, we have trained for such kinds of battles!" the boy assured.
"Now Kenny, Hyperbeam!" the Scizor sent out a yellow powerful beam of light from his mouth towards the fallen Chandelure.
"You are quite good at it, but not enough to battle us, Chandelure dodge!" the Chandelure dodged just before the Hyperbeam would have hit. The beam made a crater in the ground as dust rose up in the air.
"How could it?"
"Now's the time! Chandelure, Flamethrower!" That day, I saw the first blue flamethrower of my life.
"Scizor is vulnerable to the attack now as he has used Hyperbeam," I exclaimed.
"Kenny, get up buddy, there is a lot at stake!" But before the Scizor could do anything the flamethrower hit. Everyone gasped at the site. The dust had covered our vision. But when it cleared, the Scizor was standing there upright.
"How did he endure that?" I gasped.
"It's not possible!" But someone else was more shocked than me.
"Scizor, finish it up with X-scissor!" The boy cried as the Scizor went flying towards the Chandelure with cross arms and hitting it straight. That was it. Chandelure couldn't do anything as it lay there motionless.
"I… I lost!" the Warhawk exclaimed. But instead of getting happy, the boy gave a sigh. The Scizor went towards the Warhawk and stared at him. The Warhawk sighed and handed the egg to the Scizor. The Warhawk then walked away in the darkness while saying,
"One day, I will get that egg from you Leo. Just remember the name, Franz!"
"Franz!" I stared at him as he disappeared into the darkness. I felt like he knew me too well and probably I knew him too…
"Hey, you want this or not?" I looked at the boy. He had the egg in his hands.
"Oh yeah! Thanks! I don't know how I am going to repay you!" The boy smiled and answered,
"You don't need to. Just don't let it get into bad hands again!"
"Oh yeah I will!"
"You have quite a powerful Scizor there! The way he endured the flamethrower that was just wonderful!" Sabrina asked.
"Actually… Kenny didn't endure it!"
"What? But… then… that… how?" Sabrina asked nearly freaking out.
"My Rotom helped Kenny in there!"
"Rotom?"
"Yes, Rotom!" he said as a small bulb like orange Pokémon with electricity covering it popped out from his behind.
"I knew Kenny wouldn't be able to dodge the Flamethrower, so I asked Motor, my Rotom, to make a barrier around Kenny as he hid remained hidden in the dust raised due to the hyper beam. But I didn't like to battle like this, there was just too much at stake and there was no other way!" He sadly said.
"Hey cheer up! You did it because you wanted to get my egg back as also you love your Scizor!"
"Thanks, but now I have to leave! Kenny let's go!" He called in his Scizor and started walking towards the town with the Rotom floating around him.
"See ya, let's hope we meet again!" He said as he started walking away.
"Hey wait, but what's your name?"
"It's Joel!" He shouted as he walked away.
Joel, the boy with a Scizor and Rotom helped the guys to defeat the Warhawk member Franz. Will they meet again? I don't know yet! So keep reading!
Also Joel is a character created by Cpt. Scizor! Thanks for submitting, Captain!
