Time for that multi-chapter adventure!

Gary: This won't end well, will it?

Annabeth: Who knows? Now, INTO THE TRUCK!

Cutemon: But Annabeth… our car was exploded by Charizard's - *eyes go wide*

*grins* Oh, Cutemon, did I mention that I enlisted Ana Marie's help?

Cutemon: Ana? You mean that girl with the ice cream truuuu… OH.

Link: *walks in, polishing sword* Hey guys. What's with the ice cream truck? …and Kit, what's with the maniacal grin? I thought that was Shuppet's thing…

CHAPTER NINE: The Wilderness Next Door - Part 1

…

"I'm scared…" Oshawott whispered, clinging to Dragonite's tail.

"Dude, seriously. GET OFF ME!" Dragonite roared. She can't even go one sentence without roaring, can she?

"NOPE!" Dragonite roared, proving my point. "Now, Oshawott, GET OFF ME!"

The reason Oshawott was clinging to Dragonite's tail in terror was that all 10 of the Pokémon from the Room were preparing for a (possibly dangerous) journey into the Room Next Door to search for Kirlia I mean, the PND and Charizard, who had both mysteriously disappeared. And Oshawott wasn't looking too excited about the trip, either.

At Dragonite's fearsome roar, Oshawott hastily (though reluctantly) detached himself from her and stood, shaking, near the door of the room. Piplup came over and patted him on the back.

"S'okay, bro," Piplup said. "Be brave for Melly."

Meloetta looked up sharply. "It's Meloetta!"

"I-I mean Meloetta!" Piplup amended. Melly shouldn't be mad at Piplup, though. I came up with the nickname, after all!

Meloetta glared up at the narrating platform, where I was gleefully typing up the chapter. Don't forget to call her Melly, folks!

"All right, all right," Link grumbled. "Can we just get on with the adventure already?"

"RIGHT!" Ambipom shouted. "C'mon, y'all, we gawt to git out there lookin' for mah darlin' Kirlia!"

"Your 'darling Kirlia'?" Glaceon cocked her head.

Umbreon poked her. "You KNOW he's got a crush on the PND, sis."

Glaceon nodded. "I know. But still."

OOOOO-KAY! ENOUGH OF THAT! LET'S GO ON AN ADVENTURE!

"YEAAAAHHH!" The other Pokémon yelled in response. Even Oshawott, with newfound courage (due to his wish to please Meloetta), yelled along.

That's when we burst in through the wall.

The wall came crashing down as Ana's ice cream truck slammed through it. Ana was driving, and I was riding shotgun – it's my story, so of course I get shotgun!

We tumbled out of the truck, most looking dizzy and a little green. Except Link – he was already dressed from head to toe in green. You just don't get greener than Link. ANYWAY…

"So, how come an eleven-year-old ice cream fanatic was driving instead of me or Link, when I happen to be seventeen and Link looks at least sixteen?" Annabeth groaned.

"As for Link, well, I've seen Zelda drive, and I'm not taking my chances, as I mentioned last chapter," I replied. "And as for you… well, I don't know. You didn't say anything about it last chapter, and I guess it's more fun when an eleven-year-old is the one driving. Especially after the ride we just had – that was AWESOME!"

"No, it wasn't," Gary grumbled. "It was more like terrifying, actually."

"Exactly!" I replied gleefully. "That's synonymous with AWESOME!"

Cutemon leaped out of the back of the truck, her face covered in chocolate ice cream. "That stuff is SO GOOD," she said, drooling all the while.

Then Dragonite kicked down the door to the Room Next Door.

"Okay, everybody, let's GO!" She roared.

All of the Pokémon raced into the Room Next Door.

"Why are we going in there again?" Umbreon whispered to Glaceon.

"The title says there's a wilderness in there, and wildernesses are usually where adventures happen," she answered promptly. Umbreon nodded. It wasn't the best reasoning, but we typically don't have good reasoning here in the Room anyway, so it didn't matter.

"Look over there!" Cyndaquil piped up, pointing at the wilderness in the corner of the Room Next Door.

"Ana, get us into that wilderness!" I yelled. "FULL SPEED AHHEEAAAAADDD!"

The narrators' ice cream truck zipped into the wilderness and was gone, just like that.

"Why are they going ahead of us again?" Umbreon asked.

"So they can be narrators and narrate bad stuff and obstacles and things for us," Cyndaquil responded with a sigh.

"Yay!" Chikorita squealed while munching on a cookie, which she had pulled out of Nowhere.

"HEY! THAT'S MY NOWHERE!" Shuppet roared.

"Yay!" Chikorita squealed, still munching her cookie. Shuppet growled in his throat but chose to ignore her.

"Okay, well, let's go into the woods!" Glaceon suggested.

"YEEEAAAAAHH!" The Pokémon shouted.

And they plunged into the wilderness.

…

Welp, that's it! The beginning of the adventure!

Link: This is a frightening start.

What do you mean by that…?

Annabeth: He means that we just plunged into a wilderness in an ice cream truck driven by an eleven-year-old. And I agree with him.

Link: *nods*

…you make a fair point.

Gary: *sighs* Well, I guess let's hope to survive. I have a feeling that I might die, though. You've got a nasty habit of killing me in your fics, Kit…

Heheheh. I do, don't I?

Gary: *rolls eyes*

Cutemon: ANYWHO, stay tuned for more of our adventures, and don't forget to review and HUG A PIKACHU!

Faraway voice in the distance: AAAAUUUGGGGHHH!

…that sounded like Reevee…
