The Aura Within.
Oops, I forgot to mention. This story (For now) will loosely follow Emerald's storyline.
I am also sorry about not updating so fast, I've been busy. Also: Short chapter is short. v.v
Chapter 7: Peeko?
After we stopped by the Pokemon Center, we decided to go to the Rusturf tunnel and see if it was cleared yet.
There was a man there, the same one that gave us the Pokenav. He looked very down, and as we passed him he asked for help.
"A person from Team Aqua took my goods. Can you get my goods back?"
"Can you tell us what they look like?" Janet responded, only slightly sarcastically.
"It's a big brown package." He told us.
Janet sighed. "Fine."
We walked together for a while, battling random trainers along the way, until we came to a tunnel. There was an old man outside of it, yelling something.
"They took my Peeko! How dare they?!" He yelled into the tunnel as we passed by. Janet looked at me and shrugged.
We entered the tunnel and looked around, it wasn't as dark as I'd thought it would be. That said, Janet, with her human eyes couldn't see a thing of course. She sent out her vulpix to blow little jets of fire so she could see.
"Who dares enter the tunnel?" A pokemon's voice echoed from in front of us. A shadow partly illuminated by the fire flitted by our heads.
"Leave. Now." It continued, and flew next to the vulpix so we could see what it was. A golbat with horribly long fangs and blood red eyes was right in front of us now. I yelled and thrust out my arms instinctively to try and get it away, out of the corner of my eye (and ear) I saw Janet do the same. It flew down the tunnel and became a shadow again.
"That was strange." Janet said, looking around to try and spot it, for she didn't see where it went. "Let's continue on, Breeze." She motioned to me and began moving forwards again.
We got about a quarter of the way down the tunnel, and hadn't seen any pokemon yet other than that golbat from earlier. The cry of a wingull reached my ears, but we couldn't be near the other side yet, it was supposed to be blocked off. I looked into the blackness in front of us and spotted the faint outline of a wingull. It stayed in place as if it couldn't move. There was a shadow next to it, but that could have been an odd-shaped rock. We kept moving forwards and it suddenly called out.
"You want it then? Well come and get it!" The shadow moved back a pace. Janet and I followed and caught up with it.
"I'll just have to get rid of you then." He said confidently, and the golbat from before swooped down from the ceiling. Janet stepped back a pace and sent me forwards to use Aura Sphere. It connected with the golbat and slowed it's descent considerably so when it's Aerial Ace hit my chest it did hardly any damage. I picked up a decent-sized rock and hurled it at the golbat, hitting it's right wing. It made a crunching sound as it hit, and the golbat dropped out of the air hitting the ground hard. Janet looked at me, and told me I did a good job, but she looked a bit scared at how much damage I dealt. The shadow, who was now revealed as a team Aqua grunt, stared at the downed golbat and dropped what he was holding, a brown package and rope. I followed the rope with my eyes and the other end was tied around the wingull's neck. While I was looking at the wingull the grunt made a break for it, bolting past us out of the tunnel. The wingull, once we took the rope off it's neck, followed us out the tunnel.
When it spotted the old man it cried out happily and flew circles around him. We didn't hear exactly what he said, but he was mumbling happily as he walked back down to Rustboro. We figure that wingull was Peeko.
As we walked back to Rusboro ourselves, the man who wanted the package met us about half-way there. He didn't take the package, but instead directed us to the Devon Corperation's boss's desk. The man asked if we'd deliver the package ourselves to Capt. Stern in Slateport city. Janet immediately agreed, but I was thinking that we shouldn't get into too much, I still had my obligations.
We left the building, and our first stop would be Dewford town and it's Gym leader Brawly. We talked together on ideas of how to get there, for it was an island in the middle of the ocean. We decided on somehow finding a boat...
