I had pulled up a map of Kanto on the Devon Pad tablet and I looked at the Pokemon habitat feature. About a hour fly away was the seafoam islands. It was a common habitat for rare Pokemon. It was a good start, but that was weeks ago. Red could have found the Pokemon he was looking for and moved on. But I could still find a trail from there to find him.
After about an hour of flying I reached the shore. I entered the cave and was astounded by the ice all around me. I thought for a moment and realized I didn't feel cold. All of a sudden a snowboarder ran up to me.
"Kid are you crazy!? This is one of the coldest places in the world! The cold is overriding your nerves!" He explained. "If you don't have a coat use a fire Pokemon to keep you warm."
I began to shiver and become dizzy. I pulled out one of my Pokeball and released Darman. My Darmanitan.
"Quick Darman, use Overheat." I barely got out that much, then my lips turned blue and I fell to the ground shivering. Darman crouched low next to me and glowed with warmth. The heat flowed through my body and I regained the strength to move.
"By the way kid." The snowboarder said. "The ice here is Nevermelt Ice. That mean you can take it as a souvenir. It is more useful in the hands of Pokemon though!"
Then the Snowboarder rid off. I looked around and noticed the ladders in the ground. I nodded to Darman and he understood. I leaped onto his head and rid him as he climbed down the ladder. Darman climbed down the first ladder then down a second. Darman than ran across the room to a third ladder. When we reached the bottom we found a heavy mist all around us. The extreme cold here was evaporating incredibly fast around us.
"Darman wait here for a second." I said. I looked around, squinting my eyes to see through the mist. I called out Sam, my Samurott. Then I called back Darman. The cold seeped into me for a second but I pulled out my jacket. I slipped it on and I regained a little bit of my Body Heat.
"Sam just surf around." I said. We surfed around looking for anything, a clue, a dropped item, anything would help. I thought I saw someone, I squinted my eyes. I saw the figure pull out a ball and then a flash of light filled the room. Then there was something on his shoulder. I tapped sam on his horn and he surfed closer. The mist began to lift and I could see stairs in front of me. I leaped onto the stairs and called sam back to his Pokeball. I slowly walked up the stairs and found a boy and a massive light blue bird. A pikachu crawled out from under the boys hat and zapped the bird with a thunder bolt. Then the boy removed a Pokeball from his pocket that hit the bird between the eyes. A burst of light shot from the ball and absorbed the bird. The Pokeball flew back into his hand. Then he tossed it up and the bird flew out. He ran forward and jumped onto the bird. The boy touched the birds forehead and with a crazy look in his eyes then he pointed up. The bird's wings were beating incredibly fast and it shot up into the sky carrying the boy with him. A plastic card fell from the boys pocket, I picked it up off the ground and dusted it off. It was a Pokemon I.D. Name Red Pokemon _. The original word had been scratched out and the word legend was carved in.
I had gotten so close to catching him. But now he is gone, and he got whatever he wanted. I took out my Pokedex and tried to look in the National data base. I found the entries on the Pokemon. It was Articuno, one of the three legendary birds. I kept reading, when they all are brought together at a specific location they can be used to summon one of the ultimate Pokemon known as…
The Pokedex's battery died right before the last words. Now I will just have to wait to find out.
