Sorry for the wait you guys. I was busy with life. Anyway, here's Chapter 2!
Chapter 2
The New Dangers!
"Ugg, what the…" Mikee mentioned as he woke up on a hospital bed. It was quiet as a big pink animal chirped in his face.
"CHAN-SII!" It chirped happily. As it cried out, a dark-skinned male came inside in a doctor outfit. He had black spiky hair, and he couldn't see his eyes.
"Who are you? Where in the world am I?" Mikee asked. His body still ached a bit from all the strain he went through.
"I'm Brock and you're in the Pewter City Pokemon Center. Don't worry; you're going to be all right." The doctor told him. Even though he seemed nice, Mikee was still on his guard. The injured male sat up, noticing that his right arm was wrapped in bandages. That was his good fighting arm, as he thought.
"Who are you? My friend is sitting outside, and she explained everything on what happened. You came out of some portal, and then some woman nearly burns her. Please, you can tell me." Brock asked in a gentle manner and tone.
"Well, tell your friend to get in here then. I can explain it to the both of you, since I have no one else." Mikee asked. Brock nodded and left the room, leaving him to think for a minute.
Great, the last thing I need, attention. I have to be covert. Finding the Power Orbs is my top priority, and I won't be stopped. All my friends have to be avenged and these injuries won't stop me. He thought and closed his eyes. Darn, I can't even Shadow Warp anyway. This dimension is new to me. The only place I can warp is in that place I landed, but knowing Maya, she'll just return to the place and try to find me, but then again, Matt will be there with the others. Ugg, when did it all go wrong with me? If I stay, innocent people will get involved. If I leave, I'll be too weak to face against the Horde Commandos, and they'll win. Mikee thought and stood up.
As his feet touched the cold ground, a surge of pain hit through his body, and he groaned, stumbling backward into someone's arms.
"Hey, are you crazy? You look way too weak to even walk!" A female voice told him. He suddenly felt his heart become lighter. It sounded like his closest friend. His surprised gaze fell on a different girl, and he gasped and backed away, despite the pain. It wasn't his friend, his loved one.
"Here, sit down, and you'll be okay." Brock suggested, directing Mikee to the bed. He had no choice but to listen and sit.
"So, what happened, and who was that?" Dawn asked Mikee, who still looked pretty tired from everything.
From Dawn's point of view, this guy didn't look like a Pokemon Trainer at all. The man she was staring at looked more like a warrior if you took off the bandages around him. He was a medium build, had some scars with burn marks, and that determined look in his brown eyes, but she saw something else. He turned away before she could describe it.
"I can't tell you much, but have you seen eight different colored spheres fly away where I crashed?" Mikee asked.
"Well, there were eight bright lights and they separated in all directions. After that, the girl in flames came through and then you appeared." Dawn told the injured male. He closed his eyes and had a faint smile.
"Well, you might as well take a seat. This will take a while." He stated and cleared his throat. As he said, Brock and Dawn both took their seats.
"See, my name is Mikee Aeros. I am a warrior from a completely dimension. Those eight lights you saw, those are my universe's power sources called the Power Orbs. There are eight because in my universe, eight elements exist. Six sub-types and the two main types. The sub types are Grass, Fire, Water, Electric, Earth, and Wind. The two main types are Light and Dark. These Power Orbs supply energy to the user based on what element they hold inside. When all eight are gathered, you have control of all the elements and you're invulnerable to the same elements. Some warriors can enter these 'Modes' as we call them by will. The Power Orbs can also be used by anyone who gets their hands on them, so it's my duty to gather all eight and ensure the world's safety." He explained.
"Wait, so who was that girl who almost attacked Piplup and me?" Dawn asked him. Mikee had a confused look on his face, but he continued on.
"That's of no concern to you. Once I'm healed up, you won't have to worry about that girl. That's my mission here, and I refuse to let anyone get involved in this. The previous world did the same mistake of getting involved and that world is nothing but barren and lifeless." Mikee told them in a pretty cold tone.
"So, basically, you're searching for power sources that have enough strength to destroy our world?" Brock asked.
"That about sums it up. How long will I have to wait until I'm fully recovered?" Mikee asked Brock.
"Well, your body has suffered a lot of injuries. I was surprised someone like you could take such damage. You will be up to some strength after a good-night's rest, but your right arm was fractured. Unless you want to break it, you can't move it around for at least a week."
"A week? You're kidding me." Mikee said and looked at his arm. Dawn could see something now, beyond the frustration, it was a bit saddened and some fear deep inside. Before anything could be said, the Pokemon that woke him up came in with something. It was a round sphere about the size of a large softball. It seemed to be a glass ball, but it had a black sun etched on its side. When they saw it, Dawn could feel pretty happy. Her spirits seemed to be lifted. Mikee's eyes opened wide and he said, "That's it! The Power Orb of Light!"
"The Power Orb? Is this one of the things you were telling us about?" Dawn asked.
"Yes. Can I please have it?" Mikee asked Brock. The doctor seemed a bit hesitant, but the Pokemon walked up to Mikee and handed him the sphere. He took it slowly as the sphere glowed and then began to sink into his hand. They saw as he had a dim white glow on his body. Mikee grinned and stood up on the floor without any pain. He flexed his muscles to break all the tightly wound bandages. Brock gasped as he swung his arm around to stretch.
"Yeah, there we go. That's the stuff! I feel so much better!" Mikee told them, clenching his fists and held them to their side. They seemed to glow with power.
"Wait, your injuries aren't hurting you?" Brock asked.
"Nope. I healed up thanks to you guys. Now, I can get going on my mission to find the other seven. Thanks again you two. Look. There are several problems though. One big problem is that I don't know much about the areas around here. I know some things about this universe, but not anything about the terrain here. Finally, there's the other problem. That girl you mentioned, once she knows about you, she'll try to attack you again. The reason is to ask where I go, so I will be with you until the threat is gone. Is that all right with you?" Mikee asked Dawn.
"Sure, that's okay, I guess. I just hope you can beat her. Was that you who made her vanish into the thin air?" Dawn asked.
"Yeah, but I'll handle her next time around, in which I have a feeling it will be soon. Let's get going then. The sooner the better." Mikee told them.
"Well, I have to stay here. I don't have anyone else to watch the office. Dawn, come with me. I'll help you for your journey." Brock said as both of them left the room. Mikee walked out also, leaving them to talk while he went outside.
Brock and Dawn walked to his office. It looked filled with piles of paper. She didn't want to ask about them all. They seemed really complicated for owning a business. The old friend of Dawn's went around to some glass shelves to pick up some supplies. It was a handful of Full Restores and other medical supplies.
"Here, you will need this for the journey just in case." Brock told her.
"Oh wow, thank you Brock! This would help out in future battles!" Dawn said and put them in her purse.
"Listen, I don't know about this guy. He doesn't look trustworthy, and this whole thing going on, it might be something huge. Please, if you ever need anything, you know where to find me." Brock told the young Trainer.
"Well, I don't know, but I'll be sure to fill you in on everything though. Also, I want to ask, have you heard anything about Ash yet?" Dawn asked.
"Now that you mention it, he hasn't spoken to me in a while actually. We haven't been in touch for a month now. I wonder what he's doing now. Ash should be in Pallet Town still. He would have told me if he left on a journey. Say hi to Ash for me when you see him." Brock asked.
"Of course. Thanks again Brock." Dawn thanked and left him to think in his office.
Dawn's POV
It got me thinking about that boy Mikee some more after I left Brock. He didn't look all that strong, but after he got that sphere thing, he was perfectly fine. Something was really odd about this one, but I hope I'll know more about him when we go through Viridian Forest. It also concerned me too about his reaction when he saw me. He looked really happy and seemed to show a completely different emotion. As I came outside, Mikee was standing against the wall with his arms crossed and his eyes closed. He had the Power Orb thing in his right hand.
"You're out, ready?" He asked me.
"Yeah, I'm ready to go. Come on, I have to go see a friend two towns away from here. Is that all right?" I asked him. He nodded and followed me as we walked away from the office and continued on through the paths. Even though it did feel a bit awkward, there was something about him that made me feel safe. I looked on my map that I had and the first thing is that we had to cross Viridian Forest to get into Viridian City, and then Pallet Town was next.
For someone who said he was as powerful as he was, Mikee sure was quiet through the trip. His eyes were closed though, as if he was trying to listen for something. It was the afternoon sky, and we were already on the route to Viridian Forest. I guessed it was the perfect time to stop and camp for the night. Any further, and we might get attacked by other Pokemon.
"Okay, is it okay if we came here for the night?" I asked him. He nodded as I set my stuff down.
"I'll go find some firewood and start a fire. I'll be back." He told me. I nodded to him and he set out in the woods. I took out my sleeping bag and the food dishes for all of my Pokemon. They were probably getting pretty hungry after everything that has happened today. I only have a feeling it can get worse.
Normal POV's
The girl named Maya flew around a mountain range, looking for something. Her eyes focused on a crater within the deeper part of the mountain range. It was pretty huge and the figure named Indigo stood on the rim of it, as if he was waiting for her.
"So, Mikee got rid of you too?" Indigo asked Maya.
"Yeah, that cheap bastard warped me to a random place. I actually warped around here and then I sensed your power near-by. Has Matt made any contact with you since we got here?" She asked the black-haired warrior.
"No. He's probably having trouble with getting here. We got lucky since we jumped in Mikee's Shadow Warp, but they'll have trouble. I assume we'll handle with Mikee until the calvary arrives." Indigo replied, looking at the night sky.
"True, but I haven't told you the best part before he warped me. See, when I crashed down, a Pokemon Trainer tried to attack me, but before I could destroy her, Mikee warped me and I couldn't get an accurate look, but I could have sworn it looked like Dawn from before."
That got the evil warrior's attention. "Dawn? You're kidding me. He's got another girl to protect." The other warrior groaned.
"It just makes things interesting now. If he has someone new to protect, then we can use that to our advantage. All we have to do is find them and exploit the possibilities. It's as simple as that. Once Mikee is out of the picture, then nothing will stop the conquer of this world and of Brawl." Maya told him, bouncing a small fireball back and forth between her palms.
"Fine then. We'll do that, but I'll take the new girl. You can fight Mikee if you want. I'll fight him next once you're done." Indigo told her with his eyes closed and arms crossed.
"Ha, that Mikee, defeat me? That's not possible. I am beyond his limitations. There's no way he can defeat me. That burns it, I'm itching to fight him now and get this over with. Let's strike now while he's not in sunlight!" Maya asked Indigo.
"Now, if you want to do this right, you can't attack when he's vulnearable. That would be too easy. Besides, we're not in any hurry. Once we have the Power Orbs, then it won't matter anymore if he is out in sunlight or not. Let's go scope out where he might be." Indigo told her and snapped his fingers. In a small portal, they vanished and reappeared in the same spot where she appeared the first time. Soon enough, they took off into the air, attempting to find their enemy.
Meanwhile, Mikee was looking around the woods to find some firewood to burn. He soon found a dead tree. It seemed to be a result of a fire. Nothing living seemed to be on the tree, so it was perfect to test out the power he restored. Mikee inhaled and exhaled slowly with his eyes closed. He clashed his fists together as a charging sound was heard. Neon blue signs were appearing across his arms and he opened his eyes. Mikee vanished within a whoosh of wind. Cracks and slams were heard as he appeared again. The tree branches and trunk were literally snapped in half and he had a handful of perfect firewood.
Perfect, but at least I'm doing this. If anything else, I should be able to sense Maya and Indigo if they ever decide to show up. Touring with this girl too would help me know more about the Pokemon universe's landscapes. Finding the Power Orbs myself would be a task better off alone, but I have no other choice since Maya knows about this girl. She'll get the rest of the Horde Commandos to attack her. No matter what, I must protect her against them. Mikee thought and shook his head. He had to do this alone.
Just as he said that, there were two power sources near-by. Mikee dashed to the campsite to see Dawn starting a fire. He put it out and before she could say anything, Mikee covered her mouth, hid in the shadows of the trees and muttered a shush. Mikee pointed towards the sky as two shadows flew overhead. Dawn quieted from the two shadows overhead as they stopped precisely near-by. Mikee couldn't tell if they saw the two, but they vanished quickly. The warrior released Dawn as she sighed in relief.
"What was that? It looked like that girl from before!" Dawn asked.
"Yeah, that was Maya again. It looks like they left. That's good for us." Mikee told her. He got the fire started and they both sat down to relax, which sounded pretty good to the nervous warrior. In the fire light though, he looked at Dawn. She looked pretty as if the glow made him remember his loved one from before. His fist clenched at the thought of Maya killing her.
"Mikee? You don't look really happy." The Pokemon Trainer asked.
"I'm not." He said bluntly.
"You don't really have to follow me. I could take care of myself." She told him, sounding pretty annoyed.
"You won't be able to. Since Maya knows your face, she'll target you. I refuse to let any more innocent people to get hurt, even if it's in another world or dimension." He answered back as he crossed his arms.
"Well, you're going to stick with me until I get to Pallet Town? I have a friend there that has very powerful Pokemon and he could protect me. That way, you can go on and search for those Power Orbs you were talking about. Can you sense them out?" She asked.
"Yeah, I'll stick around or until the threat is over. The Power Orbs however, I can sense them, but not as much. They're pretty easy to find once you have a Power Orb. There's one south of here, but not for a couple of miles. It would also mean that Maya and her friends would possibly be there if they have their hands on a Power Orb." He explained. The blue haired Trainer nodded as her Piplup relaxed next to Dawn's leg with a yawn.
"I'm going to get some sleep. It looks like my Piplup is getting pretty sleepy. Good night Mikee." She told him and walked to her sleeping bag.
"Night then." Mikee replied and looked up at the bright stars. He closed his eyes and went to sleep as he lied back on the dirt.
Well, this one took a while, but it was one of my longest chapters in any story.
Next chapter will have some more action, maybe.
Read, review, and favorite!
