Chapter Five: A Terrible Turn Of Events
Even though Isaac chose to simply stay with Laura under the tree until sunrise came around, they stayed underneath the Oran berry tree and slept as soon as the sun went down. One thing they counted on was that they both had anticipated that the worst should happen.
And it was just that. The worst had happened.
Isaac awoke to being still under the Oran berry tree, but when he looked to the side, Laura was gone. He rose to his feet and began searching for her. Luckily it seemed that her kidnappers had forgotten to put something over her mouth as Isaac could her faint cries of his name. He ran as fast as he could in the direction of the cries with them getting louder and louder, Laura's voice becoming clearer and clearer until silence befell him. He kept running in the direction her voice last came from, and sure enough, he saw her. She was being carried over the shoulder of an electavire, with a machamp and a floatzel by its sides. Isaac continued his pursuit, but they came to a stop, and so did Isaac.
"Hey man, why the hell did you drag us here to snag some broad?" The machamp asked, clearly confused at the electavires motives for wanting to kidnap Laura. "Listen chumps, this ditz sent me packing without effort and I want my revenge. Now she's unconscious, I'll do just that." The electavire said, grinning.
It was at the moment Isaac realised this electavire was the electabuzz Laura sent flying because he wanted to test his luck with her. Isaac could feel his anger building for this Pokemon, the length this electavire is going to just for revenge is absolutely disgusting.
"If you wish to harm her, then you'll have to deal with me first." Isaac said, stepping out from his cover. All three hostile Pokemon turned to Isaac, all of them laughing at the fact a second evolution is going to take on three final evolutions. "You brought me in cause you saw this chump with her? Might as well earn the pay." The floatzel said, grinning as he fired of a water gun. Isaac dodged and lunged at the floatzel, unleashing a Mach punch. It was a lucky critical hit, and the floatzel was knocked unconscious.
"Idiot, thinking type alone would win a fight." The machamp said, mocking the floatzel. "Come on then wimp!" The machamp shouted, lunging at Isaac with his four arms crossed in front of him. Cross chop. It connected, sending Isaac into a tree. He slowly slid down to the foot of the tree, stumbling to his feet. Isaac could feel hatred burning inside him for these three monsters, praying on an innocent girl.
"W-why do you follow this guy?" Isaac asked the machamp. "He's using you as a meat shield. He's using you so that he won't have to deal with problems himself." Isaac said weakly, only just able to keep his balance. The machamp looked at the electavire, then back to Isaac. "I don't care for his needs, I live to fight." The machamp said, deciding to use a simple punch to Isaac's gut, winding him.
The electavire in question simply watched as Isaac was being beaten, preferring he not have interruptions when taking vengeance. He watched, making sure that he was to finish off Isaac should he manage to pull something and beat the machamp.
Laura had begun to wake up, currently sat up against another tree, facing everything, Isaac toppled over holding his chest with the machamp walking up to him soon grabbing his neck; the electavire stood in front of her, watching and enjoying the show.
"Isaac!" Laura shouted, but was kicked in the stomach by the electavire. Isaac had seen the attack, and it sent him over the edge and his anger and hatred reached their peak. His tail fire began to grow and his eyes turned bloodshot. He grabbed the machamp's hands around his neck and pulled them away, holding onto them while he fired off a rage fuelled flamethrower, causing the machamp to drop Isaac, and also fall unconscious due to the power of the flamethrower.
Isaac looked at the electavire, anger and hate in his eyes as he lumbered towards him. The electavire fired off a thunder bolt, effectively harming Isaac even more, but also making him angrier.
"Rrrrraaaaaaawwwwwwggggghhhhh!" Isaac screamed, curling up into a flame wheel and charging at the electavire. The electavire caught Isaac, but Isaac screamed again and the flame wheel grew in size and power, pushing through the electavire and toppling him over. Isaac overshot the flame wheel a little bit, causing him to dig his fingers into the dirt and grind to a halt. Slowly, Isaac moved back to the electavire after landing to finish the job when he felt a pair of arms wrap around his back.
At first, Isaac didn't know who it was, but when the face came into his view, he knew who it was. Laura. "Isaac please! Don't do this!" She pleaded, her eyes misty from seeing Isaac in such a state of pure anger, not wanting him to kill someone. Isaac placed his hands on her arms and removed her from him, allowing him to move to the electavire.
He climbed onto the electavires chest and raised a fist in the air. "If you even think about trying to cause her harm ever again, I swear to you that I will not show you the same mercy I am doing now." Isaac threatened, punching the electavire in the face with a Mach punch, leaving the electavire unconscious.
Isaac walked away from the scene to calm down, Laura following him at a short distance away. "Isaac! Wait up!" Laura called to him, to which Isaac did stop, but he didn't turn around or acknowledge her.
"Listen to me please. If you follow me, I can take you to a Pokemon centre. They'll heal us up and we can leave back into the forest again." Isaac sighed in thought, his tail fire dying down. He nodded and allowed Laura to lead the way. "Solaceon town isn't far from here." Laura added, leading Isaac to solaceon town for medical care.
Authors note: for those who maybe wondering about the characters set of moves, I have indeed done some research and chose a few moves I deemed fitting. If you would like I will upload a document with the bios and chosen moves for Isaac and Laura.
Remember, constructive criticism is always welcome here. I'd like to know what I could do to improve if necessary.
