Chapter 6 A Stroll Through Eterna Forest and Meeting a Mysterious Person!
Eliza, Rusty, and the twins left Eterna City and decided to walk through the forest in order to reach Floraroma Town for the next contest, well for Eliza it was no walk in the park.
"Okay, who was the one who thought that walking through the forest at twilight was such a good idea?" she asked.
"Well, we did get here by this time as farther into it." Marty said.
"Usually it's not such a good idea to walk in the woods according to horror flicks." Eliza said.
"Maybe we should stop here for the night and start out fresh in the morning" Maritza asked.
"good idea, Marty, let's search for firewood and the girls put up the tents." Rusty said.
Both guys went out to do that and the girls put up the tents. The guys returned a few minutes later and they started the fire and started to make dinner. As they ate they heard a rustling in the bushes.
"What was that?" eliza asked.
"Just some Pokemon running out there I bet." Marty answered.
"Yeah, usually there are a lot roaming around at night if you remembered while you were out training in many places." Rusty told her.
"Yeah, I did." She said.
They kept on eating and the rustling continued and then a Buizel came out.
"What the hell is that?" eliza asked and took out her dex and got the information.
"Ah, a buizel, a water type Pokemon in these type that likes to roam around the forest areas." Marty answered
"Bui! Bui!" the Buizel exclaimed and ran over and ate some of Twiggy's food.
Twiggy got mad and hit it with his vines.
"Twiggy!" Eliza exclaimed.
"It looks like someone trespassed on his food." Maritza exclaimed.
"Not only that, due to that hit, it is coming back!" Rusty exclaimed.
"Looks this one's mine! Also it is your training time Twiggy! Use vine whip again!" Eliza yelled.
Twiggy did it and the Buizel dodged it.
"Use razor leaf!"
Twiggy did so and the hit made it and the Buizel was hit and it got back up and used whirlpool on Twiggy.
"Fight back witth another vine whip!" Eliza yelled.
Twiggy did so and it hit the buizel head on.
"Hurry and throw a Pokeball!" Rusty yelled.
"I think I will use this! Go fast ball!" Eliza yelled and threw it.
The ball flew and hit the Buizel and it was caught.
"All right! I caught my third Pokemon here!" Eliza exclaimed.
"Be glad you sent clucky back, you wouldn't be able to carry your new Pokemon with you." Rusty said.
"Yeah, I know." She said.
"Now that's settled, should we get some shut eye? We have a long way to go before we get to Floraroma." Maritza said as she yawned and headed for the girls' tent.
They all went to sleep without any more interruptions.
Meanwhile in another area of the forest, the Team Aqua spy was reporting back to Shelly on a PokeGear.
"What do you have for me?" Shelly asked.
"It seems that our target is heading for Floraroma Town, but he is surrounded by three other people." The spy reported.
"Where is he now and what's your location?"
"the Eterna Forest outside of Eterna City."
"Good, keep on following them and when he is alone attack." Shelly said.
"Right!" the spy exclaimed and turned off the PokeGear and smirked. "You won't be escaping from me!"
The next morning, the group had breakfast and then headed out after they put their tents away. As they walked, Rusty still felt the strange feeling that he had back in Hearthome as before. He stopped and Eliza noticed it.
"Is there something wrong?" she asked.
"I am having that strange feeling again like in Hearthome." He answered.
"What kind of feeling?" Maritza asked.
"Like someone's watching us. Eliza, we better send out our flying Pokemon so they can scan the area." He said.
She nodded and said, "Go Starla!"
"go Breeze!" Rusty exclaimed. "Breeze, fly and scan the area for anyone who might be following us!"
"You too Starla!" eliza exclaimed.
Both their Pokemon went up and flew around. The both of them flew back after a few minutes.
"Find anything?" Rusty asked.
Both Starla and Breeze nodded and lead them to an area with tall grass and they heard some rustling.
"Anyone in there!" Come on out!" Marty yelled.
"I have an idea! Go Sparkle! Use volt tackle and find the person who is inside that grass!" Eliza exclaimed as she sent her Pichu out.
Sparkle ran into the grasses and they heard screams and a guy with Sparkle chasing him ran out.
"A ninja was in there?" Marty asked.
"If he was, he wouldn't be wearing plain clothes." Maritza said.
"Why the hell did you send a Pichu after me?" the guy asked.
"Easy, you were spying on us that's why!" Eliza exclaimed.
"Pi!" Sparkle exclaimed.
"Why were you doing that?" Rusty asked.
"I was just…I was just following you because I was interested in the new girl that came from Johto!"
"What? How did you know about that?" Eliza asked.
"I saw your performance at the Hearthome contest and was impressed with what I saw. The name's Isaac or Ike for short!"
"Okay Ike, that still doesn't explain the creepy following." Eliza said.
"You mean stalking." Rusty said.
"I am sorry about that, I will make it up to you by joining your group and showing the quickest way out of here!" Ike exclaimed.
"Okay? Very well then." Rusty said.
"Let's go!" Ike exclaimed.
As they walked, Ike smirked and thought, Perfect, this is a lot more easier than just spying and following them everywhere in the shadows. When I get the chance, I will get the target..
Ike lead them out of Eterna Forest as promised and they headed on the route towards Floraroma Town.
At the Elite Four, Cynthia was getting reports about Team Aqua coming in from all over in how there has been a possible member roaming around.
"Are you sure?" Aaron asked.
"Yes, it looks like Team Aqua decided to sink their claws into this region." Cynthia answered.
"First it was Team Galactic causing hell and now it's this team, I thought they would be put out." Flint said.
"there is only one thing to do and that's to make sure they don't do what Galactic tried to do." Cynthia said.
They all nodded.
"Then it's settled, you should head out and ttake care of it." Bertha told Cynthia.
"Already on it." Cynthia said and left.
