PMD: Team Blast Burn chapter 15: The expedition part one: Getting to the base

Yeah, sorry that my updates are slow as fuck now. E_E I just got a new computer, so my updates will be /hopefully/ faster!

Another note: I made the secret Bazzar into the Underground Bazzar, which is a shortcut through Craggy Coast and Mt. Horn. I did that because Lyn has her reasons.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or it's characters.

Dammit. Dammit. DAMMIT! Why did I have to get stuck in the same group as that...that disgrace of a water type?! First Team Skull, and now THIS?! Anger started to boil up from inside me, but I controlled it as I walked over towards Riolu.

Riolu was talking to Bidoof as I walked over to them. "Hey, Riolu!" I said. "Guess who's in our group!"

Mizu interrupted me as she walked over to the three of us. "I am!" She cried excitedly. I put on a fake smile. That fake smile I had a few seconds ago quickly disappeared as Mizu glared at me. I glared back at her, and our eyes started to spark.

Just then, Chatot came into the room and boomed: "I will now announce the rest of the groups." Everyone gathered in the middle of the main hall. Chatot got out another slip of paper which had the other expedition groups on it. Except ours and Team Skull's. Which was complete bullshit.

Chatot proceeded to call the next group. "Bidoof," He called. Bidoof flinched. "You'll be in a group with Loudred and Corphish." Loudred groaned loudly. "Bidoof?! Are you KIDDING ME?!" He was about to have one of his famous bitch-fits, but then Chatot said, "Don't even think about it, Loudred! You deal with your group members, or you don't go on the expedition at all!"

Loudred muttered under his breath, "Why am I in the same group as that walking piece of shit..."

"Okay, let's ignore that," Chatot said. He continued with, "The next group will be, Sunflora, Diglett and Dugtrio." Sunflora made a face, and Diglett smiled at his father. By the look on Sunflora's face, it looked like she was going to scream. Which she did.

Sunflora screamed, "Why the fuck do I have to be in their group?! All they're going to do is slow me the hell down!"

Everyone in the guild gasped. Nobody had expected Sunflora to say something like that. Not even Chatot. From what I've heard, Sunflora has never said a swear word in her entire life, and we were all shocked to hear her say one. I began to say, "Sunflora, w-was that you!?"

Sunflora tensed a bit, then nodded. The rest of the guild started talking about how they swore for the first time. After a while Chatot barked, "We're wasting TIME!"

I wonder how the guild is going to survive on this expedition…

"….Anyways," Chatot continued. "Wigglytuff and I will form the last group." Wigglytuff burst out of his office as if he heard the entire thing. His face scrunched up as if he were going to whine, cry, or scream.

"Aww man, I have to be in a group with YOU?!" Wigglytuff cried. "That is so unfair! Can't I be in a group with one of you guys instead? It'll be more fun instead of Chatot!" He looked at us meaningfully. Everyone looked at each other in shock. Who would want to be with Wigglytuff in a group? That's just like asking for an ass whooping.

"P-please be cool about this, Wigglytuff." Chatot said nervously. "This'll only be temporary!"

"…Meanie." Wigglytuff pouted.

I had the nerve to ask, "Um, are we…. Leaving yet?"

Chatot replied with, "Oh! We'll leave in five minutes. We just need to discuss some stuff first~"

I seriously wonder how we're going to survive.

While I was sitting on the ground, lost in thought, I smelled something familiar. That smell…It was Skunktank, the leader of the idiot trio, also known as Team Skull.

He said, "So, you're going on the expedition after all."

My head snapped up to glare at him. "What do you care?"

Skunktank was about to retort with something nasty, but then Chatot said, "It's time for us to leave!"

Loudred screamed, "It's about FUCKING TIME!"

Chatot retorted, "Watch your language, Loudred!"

We finally left the guild at dusk.

We were told to get to our base camp by noon tomorrow. As soon as we left Treasure Town, we split up. I found Riolu and Mizu, and we proceeded to head north.

The place that Riolu, Mizu, and I got to was a place that was naturally built on a cliff, and beneath that cliff was…..water. I was so scared of water that it wasn't even funny.

"Wow!" Riolu cried. "Look at this! The sea is all the way out here, guys!"

Mizu went over to look. I walked over to where they were slowly. I glanced at it. Damn, we were far from the Guild…

"Okay!" Riolu said. He reached into the Treasure Bag and pulled out the map. He pointed to a somewhat rocky drawing on the map. "That's where we are now." He said. "And Fogbound lake is here." He dragged his finger towards a small drawing of a lake.

"We'll have to get through Mt. Horn then, too." I continued. "But don't you have any idea how long it'll take us to get through there? We'll be out of there by 2 pm tomorrow!"

"Whatever, let's just go." Mizu butted in. "If we're late, we can blame it on Vulpix."

I glared at Mizu. Mizu just gave me one of her ugly smirks. Riolu sighed.

"There's no way I'm going in there!" I cried. I tried to run back towards the guild, but Riolu grabbed me by the leg and I fell.

"Ow, what?" I asked. "That hurt…"

Riolu said to me, "Don't you remember that time when we jumped into the waterfall? You said, 'I can do it! I'm not afraid of water anymore!'"

I thought for a moment, and said, "Oh yeah! Now I remember. I'm actually not afraid of water anymore!"

Mizu teased, "What if I used a Hydro Pump in your face?"

I ignored her comment and went into the dungeon. Riolu did the same. Mizu just stared after us. "Hey, wasn't my joke funny?" She asked.

The last time you blasted me in the face with a Hydro Pump, it didn't do shit at all.

As we got into the dungeon, I stepped on something. I peered down to see what it was. An Oran Berry! Food, at last! I didn't really care what it was, I had to eat something. I crouched down and prepared to take a bite. Riolu saw what I was doing, and he kicked it away from me, so I bit down on his foot accidentally.

Riolu jumped a mile into the air. "Kocchan, what the hell are you doing? The last time I checked, my foot doesn't taste like an Oren Berry!"

"Hmmm?" I asked. I spat my foot out of his mouth and said, "What's an Oren Berry?"

Mizu replied, "Don't you know? If you eat it, you'll get-" She paused and an evil smirk came across her face. What was she thinking? She continued with, "You'll get full for the next week."

"Really?!" I cried. I reached for the berry again, but Riolu took it and threw it towards a Krabby that was wandering about in the dungeon. The Krabby looked at the berry that was flying towards it, and opened its mouth. Krabby had a sick expression on its face. After that, it fainted.

"See? That's what it does." Riolu explained to me. "An Oran Barry heals you when you eat it. An Oren Berry hurts you when you eat it. There's a difference between Oran and Oran. Be careful."

I nodded. We proceeded to get through the first floor of the Dungeon. I ran towards a room that had lots of money on the ground. I wanted to pick up all of it and put in into the Treasure Bag, but as soon as I set foot into that room, something felt very wrong. The ground was gone! What IS this?! A pitfall? I was falling, falling….

I landed on my back in a weird underground passage. "Ow ow ow…." I winced in pain.

"INCOMING!" A voice from above cried. "KOCCHAN, MOVE!"

I sat up groggily. "Huh?" When I realized that the voice belonged to Riolu's, and he was going to fall on me, I screamed, "Oh, shit!"

Too late. Riolu had already fell on me. He fell on his back, so of course it hurt me.

"Hey, get off of me!" I cried, pushing him off.

Mizu came crashing down next. I pushed Riolu to the floor, and ran. I didn't want that Surskit on top of me. Mizu fell then, and she fell flat on her face!

I tried not to laugh when she got up, but she noticed it anyway.

"What's so funny, Kocchan?" She demanded, already getting angry.

"Oh, nothing," I replied, trying to hold in my laugher. But I couldn't. I burst out laughing.

"Th-there's a Spinarak on your forehead!" I cried while laughing.

"Wh-what?!" Mizu cried. "Get this thing off of me!" She ran around with her front legs on her head, trying to shake Spinarak off.

"It's going to poison you, Mizu!" Riolu cried.

Just leeet it poison her. Just let it poison her so she can leave us the hell alone and so I can get Riolu!

"Okay, let's leave~" I went towards the deeper depths of the cave, but Riolu grabbed me by the tails and whirled me back around.

"What was that for?" I demanded. I absolutely hated it when people grabbed my tails. Sometimes it causes me agonizing pain.

"Help her." Riolu was still gripping my tail pretty hard.

I really didn't want to. I broke free from his grasp and tried to run. But he grabbed me by my tails again.

"Help her."

"Fine, Fine!"

Mizu was still running around with the Spinarak latched onto her head. She was still screaming pretty loudly.

"Get it off me!" She screamed. "It probably already used Poison Jab on me!"

I sighed. I took a huge breath, and let out fire from my mouth. The fire washed over Mizu and the Spinarak, and they were both burned. Spinarak jumped off of Mizu's head. "I-I'm so sorry for poisoning your friend!" He cried. He ran farther into the cave.

I stared after him. "That bitch is nowhere near my friend." I huffed.

Mizu cried, "Help! My head's poisoned!"

"Riolu, why don't you take care of this?" I said to Riolu. "I'm tired of her."

Riolu wordlessly got a Pecha Berry out of the Treasure Bag, walked over towards Mizu, and fed her the berry. She ate it in little bites, and burped. I rolled my eyes.

"Can we please hurry?" I asked. "Chatot will freaking destroy us if we're not at the base by tomorrow noon."

-Flashback-

When we all proceeded to go our separate ways, Chatot had a very stern look on his face.

"If any of you aren't at the base camp by tomorrow at noon, you'll suffer the consequences."

"And what are those 'consequences' ?" I asked.

"You'll have to carry all the equipment, and I mean everyone's equipment from the base back to the guild."

We all groaned. Was he being serious?!

"That's fucking CRAZY!" Loudred shouted.

"Shut up!" Chatot cried. "You'll wake up everyone in the next city!"

-End of Flashback-

"Yeah, he'll make us carry everything! The tents, the food, the blankets!" I screamed.

Riolu got up, and he followed me. Mizu got up too, but then she 'collapsed' back onto the ground. Riolu turned around and looked back at her.

"What's up. Mizu?" He asked.

Mizu replied, "My l-legs feel numb, can you carry me, Riolu?"

Don't do it, Riolu! She's lying so she can steal you from me!

"Sure!" Riolu said cheerfully. He walked over to where Mizu was sitting and he lifted her onto his shoulders. She wrapped her skinny back legs around his waist and put her other legs on his shoulders. We walked on. As we walked, I looked back at Mizu to glare at her. She smirked back. I was completely mortified. That bitch!

We walked through the cave. After an hour passed, my stomach growled.

"Hey Riolu, can I see the Treasure bag?" I asked him.

He replied with, "No, my hands are full."

I grunted. The Treasure Bag was on his shoulders. If I could get the bag off, Mizu would be on her ass crying!

Perfect. I thought. I went behind Riolu, put my mouth on the bag, and pulled, making both Riolu and Mizu fall in the process. At least I got the bag!

"Kocchan, what the hell was that for?!" Mizu cried. "Now it's your fault we're going to be late!"

"I just wanted food. Is that a problem?" I shot back at her.

"Yes it is!" She retorted.

"Don't make me attack you!" I cried.

"At least I'm not a—" She was about to say, but then Riolu grabbed her by her legs.

"I'm getting so tired of your bullshit…" Riolu muttered, then facepalmed.

I reached into the Treasure Bag, and pulled out an apple. I quickly ate it, and realized that I was still hungry. I reached into the bag and…

"Shit! Guys, we ran out of food!" I screeched.

"WHAT?!" Mizu and Riolu cried.

"And you ate the last apple?" Riolu screamed. "I'm hungry too, you know!"

"Me too!" Mizu chimed in.

"Shut up, Mizu." I replied.

Suddenly, a red round object rolled towards us. I reached down.

"Food!" Mizu cried. "We're SAVED!" She took it with her front legs and proceeded to eat it whole.

"Oh hell no!" RIolu cried. He took it from Mizu and chopped it into thirds.

"We each get one piece." Riolu said. "If you get yours stolen, well that sucks for you."

"Okay!" Mizu and I said.

We put our pieces on the ground beside us. I ate mine in a heartbeat. Before Mizu ate hers, I quickly swiped hers away, and she bit into thin air.

"What the fuck just happened?" Mizu asked. "Where's my apple?"

I just giggled.

"Kocchan, youuuu!" Mizu shrieked. She got up from where she was sitting and tackled me onto the ground.

"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!" She cried. "HAVE YOU NO SENSE AT ALL?! YOU ATE MY GODDAMN APPLE!"

I smirked. This was too funny. I didn't know that she would get pissed about one slice on an apple.

"How about THIS!" She screamed, and bit onto one of my tails.

I yelped. "Oh, now you asked for it!" My tails started to glow a gray steel-ish color, and I slammed her with them.

Mizu fell onto the ground. "It's OVER!" She lifted up her front two legs and a blue ball of water formed in between her front two legs. The ball became bigger and bigger and she used Water Pulse. I countered it with Iron Tail.

Riolu muttered to himself, "The shit I put up with every fucking day." He got up, put his hands in a Kamehameha style, and he fired it. The target? Mizu! Well, both of us actually.

The attack hit us so hard, that we both went flying in opposite directions.

"Talk about Fus Ro Dah…" Mizu muttered. She landed on the ground with a THUD.

I went flying so fast, I thought that I was going to die. But I didn't! Something had grabbed me and supported my head. I looked up at it, and it smiled back down at me. Riolu!

"Are you okay?" He asked me. I smiled back at him. "Yeah."

We stared at each other for a while, and I quickly realized something.

"We're LATE!" I screamed. "We're dead late!"

I broke free of Riolu's grip and ran. Riolu ran after me. Mizu was still on the ground, and I didn't really care about her. We ran and ran until we finally reached the base camp.

It was night already when we reached. Everyone else was already there! I took our equipment from Wigglytuff and tried not to notice Chatot.

Riolu set up our tent, while I lit the campfire in the middle of the base camp. Everyone looked fine, sitting around the campfire. Everything was fine until…

"Hello!" A familiar voice cried. NO!

Chatot walked over to Mizu and said, "You're LATE! And where are the rest of your group?"

Her eyes found mine and she smirked at me. "They left me in the cave, sir. Well actually, Kocchan did."

I stood up and walked over to where she stood. "Blaming it all on me, huh?"

"Yes!" She screamed. "It's your FAULT!"

"Shut the hell up!" I retorted. "You're the one who got a Spinarak stuck on your head! If that didn't happen to you, we wouldn't have been late!"

"Oh? And who stole my apple?" She shot back.

"Who tackled me to the ground?" I retorted.

"Yes, who tackled who?" Wigglytuff asked.

"Umm, nobody!" Everyone said. We were all afraid of Wigglytuff. Even Chatot.

"Mizu's fault." I said, and ran into the tent that Riolu and I shared.

Riolu went in after me, and said, "Did we seriously leave Mizu in the cave?"

"Yes," I replied.

"And she tackled you?" He asked again.

"Yes."

"Oh."

We were silent for a few moments. Then, to break the silence, I said, "Riolu, do you like Mizu?"

Riolu didn't reply.

How the hell does he fall asleep that fast?

The Next Morning

"As you see, this forest is shrouded in fog." Chatot said to us. "The place that we're trying to reach is Fogbound lake, which is in this area somewhere, but that's just a rumor."

"A legend?" Riolu cried. "Cool!"

"So many Exploration Teams have tried to get to Fogbound, but they've either failed or they never returned." Chatot continued.

Never RETURNED?!

Well, that's scary. I didn't want to be on a expedition that guaranteed life loss.
