Sorry I haven't been writing lately. I was sad because I lost the actual game. I'm going off of videos and websites right now... It's still good though! Review, and follow/favorite!
Chapter 9
Touko and Cheren ran all the way to Wellspring Cave, following Team Plasma's footsteps and retreating voices. They stopped right outside the cave.
"Are your Pokémon okay to fight?" Cheren asked, looking at Touko.
"Of course they are! Let's go!" Touko ran in, and Cheren followed with an exasperated sigh. They immediately saw the two grunts from Team Plasma on the inside of the cave. Touko's body stiffened with anger at the sight of them.
"You… Give back that girl's Pokémon!" Touko glared at them.
"The child cannot use it to its full potential. Doesn't that make Pokémon sad? It's the same for all of your Pokémon so hand them over now!" One said. The other one grinned.
"Yeah, I'd love to see when the comes to life, in your dreams in 300 years." Cheren's comment made Touko laugh.
"That's it!" The two grunts threw out Pokémon, and Cheren and Touko threw out their own. It was Snivy and Ordell against a Patrat and a Lillipup.
"I'll take the Patrat with Snivy and you get the Lillipup with Ordell." She nodded firmly at Cheren before turning to her opponent.
"If you can't see how important the bond between Pokémon and humans is, then I pity your Pokémon... They must be feeling horrible just to be stuck with unappreciative jerks like you two." The Pokémon of her foe looked at its Trainer, with no particular like or dislike, before turning to Ordell. It gave a loud bark and Touko's Oshawott looked as if it pitied it before its expression hardened.
"Use water gun!" Ordell shot a burst of water at the other Pokémon, and it was launched back by water.
"Use bite!" The grunt commanded. The Lillipup ran towards Ordell quickly and bit into Ordell's tail. Ordell cried out.
"Use water gun again!" There was no chance of dodging, and being in such close range caused more damage than usual. The Lillipup stumbled backwards, shaking itself. Ordell smacked his tail on the ground, wincing from the bite.
"Water gun, one more time!" Touko called out.
"Dodge it!" The grunt said desperately, but it was too late. It was a direct hit and the Lillipup fainted. The man across from Touko growled.
"How could we lose?" He turned towards his companion who already lost. Cheren and Touko turned and smiled at each other, but were soon met by two more grunts.
"Don't get in our way! Since there are two of us and two of you, let's battle!" Cheren sighed.
"So there were more of them… Well, anyways, we've been friends since we were kids! Let's show them what we can do together!" Touko nodded, placing a hand on Ordell's head. Ordell and Snivy nodded at each other.
Both grunts threw out Patrats. Both Pokémon looked a bit dazed as they stared at the angry opponents in front of them. For a moment, Snivy softened, but Ordell nudged him and he grew serious again.
"Alright, let's do this." Touko nodded at Cheren.
"Snivy, use vine whip!" Cheren commanded.
"Use bite!" One of the grunts yelled.
"Ordell, use water gun to counter bite so Snivy can attack the other Patrat!" Ordell jumped in front of Snivy and shot a water gun out at a surprised Patrat. Snivy ran towards the other and smacked it hard with the vines. Both Patrats stumbled backwards.
"Use tackle!" Cheren and Touko screamed simultaneously. Ordell and Snivy rushed towards their scared opponents, hitting the Pokémon with the full force of their fell backwards, unconscious. Cheren's eyes were unforgiving.
"Put up a fight next time," He glared at the grunts from Team Plasma.
"W-we will liberate Pokémon from foolish people!" One said, but he didn't sound so sure.
"Whatever. You still think that after we beat you?" Touko shook her head in annoyance.
"Pokémon Trainers like you are making Pokémon suffer," The other piped up.
"What do you mean, Trainers are making Pokémon suffer? I don't get that at all." Cheren frowned. The question was ignored. One of them from the side walked up to Cheren.
"We'll give you back the Pokémon… But be aware of how this Pokémon suffers from being used by foolish humans. Someday, open your eyes to own complicity." The grunts left after giving Cheren the Pokémon.
"Trainers bring out their Trainer's strength. Pokémon believe in their Trainers and respond to them. I don't understand what makes them think Pokémon suffer!" Cheren sighed, and Touko placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Okay Touko, I'll return the Pokémon. You go on ahead. I'll hopefully see you soon," He said. Before he walked away, Touko gave him a tight hug. She hated having to split up. She never started the journey with the intent to be apart from her friends, but they always seemed to be splitting up. He smiled down at her.
"Just call me if you get lonely. I'll see you soon." She nodded and let him go.
She left Wellspring Cave, not bothering to put Ordell back in his Poké Ball. She picked the little Oshawott off of the ground. It nuzzled her cheek.
"Do you think you'll evolve soon Ordell?"
"Osha! Oshawott!" She giggled, walking down Route 3. She saw Bianca and ran to her.
"Thanks for your help Touko! I'm so lucky to have a friend like you!" Touko smiled, as Bianca gave her some Heal Balls as a thank you.
"Thank you," The little girl said. She smiled.
"I'm going to take her home." Bianca waved and left with the little girl.
As she walked, she noticed she wasn't really getting challenged by Trainers often. She supposed it was because it was so late. She sighed, looking down at Ordell, who had fallen asleep.
"I guess I'm the only one awake right now…" She was still full of adrenaline from their battles. After walking a little more she saw a vaguely familiar head of green hair.
"N?" She frowned slightly, confused.
"What?" N turned around after hearing his name, and looked at Touko with wide eyes.
"Miss Touko," He said.
I know the ending wasn't part of the game, but it is a fanfiction after all. Review, follow and favorite please!
