Chapter 6

Elle and Sonic were sitting next to a campfire while Leon was resting in a tent with his Absol staying just outside of the tent.

"Why do you think Leon was pushing himself so much that he'd ignore getting sleep?" Elle asked Sonic who just shrugged in response. They sat in silence for a little while longer when Sonic gave her a real answer.

"If I had to guess…it's probably because he's had to rely on people and it didn't turn out too well for him. He's probably been on his own for a while now judging from how he acts. He doesn't seem to trust people except his own pokemon." Sonic stared into the fire with it reflecting in his eyes. "I think we should get some sleep now too, we don't want to end up like Leon" Sonic agreed with her and they both went to sleep with Elle going in her own tent and Sonic going to a tree branch.

The sun started to rise as Elle came out of her tent. She yawned and saw Leon packing up his tent with Absol by his side.

"Leon!" She quickly walked up to him as he put his tent on his back."How are you feeling? Better?"

He stood up and turned to her with a tired expression. "Better than I was yesterday" He started to walk down the path again with Absol by his side.

"Hey wait for us!" She quickly packed up her tent and went to the tree Sonic was sleeping in."Hey Sonic wake up!" Sonic jumped to his feet but lost his footing and fell out of the tree, landing on his head with a comical thud.

"Are you okay?" Sonic rubbed the spot he hit and felt a small bump. "I'm okay but we better get going or else Leon will leave us behind" Elle and Sonic quickly caught up with him and started their long walk again.

"So Leon, are you going to tell us what's in Saffron city?" Leon looked back at him with a plain expression before he responded. "There's a gym there I plan on visiting and another certain place as well. I want to go that place by myself after I go to the gym. Understand Sonic?"

Sonic put his hands up defensively. "Hey dude I get it. No need to get aggressive or anything, I'll respect your privacy" Leon nodded to him and looked ahead again. The three of them came to a stop when Absol started to tense up and get in a battle stance.

"What is it Absol?" Leon's question was answered with an Onix bursting through the trees."What the hell!?" The Onix swung its tail at them but Absol dodged it and Leon and Elle were rescued by Sonic. "

You two okay?" Sonic put them down behind a tree and looked back at the Onix.

"We're fine Sonic, thank you. We need to find a way to stop that Onix before someone gets hurt" Leon stood up and got their attention.

"I'll tell you how we stop it, we take it down!" Leon was about to step out into the open when Sonic grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

"What are you doing!?" "You can't just go out there, you'll get crushed!" Leon pulled his arm free and glared at Sonic. "I will not let this opportunity pass me by! That thing nearly killed me once before, I will not let that happen again!" Sonic was taken aback by his statement and was going to let him go when Elle stopped him.

"Stop Leon! You can't do this!" Leon stopped and looked at her."I don't know what happened to you before but you can't be saying that you plan on killing Onix!" Leon responded with a determined glare and was about to move past her when she stopped him again."Listen to me! If you go out there and kill that Onix, you will become a murderer along with your Pokemon. Is that what you want!?"

Leon thought for a moment and simply moved past her. "None of you will interfere, got it? I want to end this myself. Charmeleon come on out!" Leon threw his pokeball out and Charmeleon came out. Absol jumped back to avoid another swing from Onix's tail."Charmeleon, use flamethrower and Absol you use razor wind!" Charmeleon sent its flamethrower towards Onix's head and made it flinch slightly. Absol threw its razor wind at Onix's head and once again, it only flinched.

"Damn it!" Leon growled as Onix tackled Absol, knocking it into a boulder."Absol!" Onix then wrapped its tail around Charmeleon and smashed it into the ground."Why you…" Onix was about to crush Leon when its tail was caught by vines."Huh?" Leon looked to his right and saw Elle had her Bulbasaur out and use vine whip to stop Onix.

"Hold him steady Elle!" Sonic was spinning rapidly as orbs of light started to go into him. When he stopped spinning he was glowing light blue and shot forward at the speed of light. Sonic made multiple hits on Onix and landed on more on its chin. Onix reared back when Bulbasaur let go. Onix dove into the ground and ran away, leaving the three of them in peace.

"Nice work Elle!" Sonic said to her as she returned her Bulbasaur.

"Thanks Sonic, you were pretty amazing too!" As they continued to complement each other, Leon returned his Absol and Charmeleon and started to walk down the road again. "Leon, hold up!" Sonic called as he and Elle caught up with him again."What's the big id-"Sonic was cut off by Leon stopping dead in his tracks. "Don't…say…a word to me until after we get to Saffron city, alright?" Sonic said okay and they began to walk the rest of the way in silence. After a few hours they finally made it to Saffron city and Leon stood in front of them.

"Now…I was going to challenge the gym leader but since my Pokemon need to recover, how about Elle challenges her first and then I will. Sound good?" They nodded in unison and headed towards the gym for their next battle.
