PART 7
We were running for what seemed like an eternity. I looked around and noticed a few zubats flying over head. We were in the middle of the forest not knowing where we were going, but we knew we had to get away from Celadon. Eventually, we sat down to rest. We had been running all day and we needed somewhere to stay for the night. Iggy, whom was ahead of me, faced us.
"You know, not all of us have as much speed and stamina as you, 'master Ignus'" I mocked.
"We really need a place to stay master" said Magboy, whom had been riding on the charizard, "I suggest setting up camp here or searching for a cave."
"It would probably be best to stay here," Said Iggy, "We could get locked in a cave. Let's set up camp." He told his pokemon.
"Scylla, search the area for a good open area for us to rest." I said. "And find out exactly where we are."
She nodded and was on her way. I sat down next to Iggy and sighed.
"How long were we running for?" I asked.
"I have no clue..." said Iggy.
"Excuse me, but I do believe we were running for…several hours." Magboy said.
"That long?" he asked, sarcastically. He rolled his eyes. "Ugh this is going to get tiring. We need to head to silph co. but it looks like we'll just have to take our time."
I wondered about what was his hurry, why was he acting this way, but I didn't really want to bring it up.
Magboy went around and decided to be a watch guard for us, just in case Team Rocket decided to come around. The sun was low in the sky, and we were all tired from our long day. Gabite leaned up against me, half asleep. I watched Charizard curl up on the other side of Iggy and I.
"Well it looks to me like we headed too far North." I said.
"Yeah I noticed." he said. I noticed he was lost in thought, and they had taken him far away.
"You okay?" I asked. How could he not be?
"I…uh….," he said. And then Iggy didn't say anything.
He seemed down for some reason, and it felt very unusual for a guy who wasn't caught up in melodrama. That letter must still be bothering him. I decided to try to cheer him up.
"So you are also an eeveelution? How did it happen?"
He smirked.
"It's a long story."
"I'm sure I can keep up."
"Well... It was all under very unusual circumstances..."
From there he told me the whole story, to what was he doing, about a meteor that fell from the sky to when he woke up. About how he had met up with a Glaceon and beat up a bunch of elekids and pichus. About a strange voice that the Glaceon had heard telling him to go to Silph Co. and that is where he was headed now, all the way up to how he met me. And I told him my story as well, but I never mentioned anything about my past. It was quite peculiar at how much our stories connected to one another. We joked around, had some more small talk and he even boasted about himself a little.
"I thought you said you don't open up about yourself to others," he mused. "Especially to guuuyys."
To my surprise, and maybe even to his, I laughed.
We continued this way up until sunset, when I began to worry about Scylla. She had never taken this long to report back to me... ever...
"What's wrong, Ane?" Asked Thunder with a curious look.
"I.. I'm not sure....Where is Scylla?" I looked around anxiously. I felt something coming. It was very quiet in the surrounding area... Too quiet....
