Yay chapter ten, this is like a huge accomplishment for this being the first thing this big that I've ever kept up with. Anyway, this chapter is the "little" hike down the mountain to Azalea town. Enjoy
Chapter 10: March To Azalea
It was going to be a long walk to the next gym, so White, Gardevoir, and I packed up on pokemon food and small supplies we would need at the poke mart. We we're walking out the gate when I spotted something.
"Hey White what is that?" I asked, it was something rumbling in the bush, eevee walked over to investigate.
"I don't know, go look." I walked over, afraid at what might jump out I hesitated. "Just look you big baby!" She yelled to me.
"I'm going I'm going!" I yelled back. I bent down and looked inside, to my surprise it was a small blue pokemon with wings, the poor thing looked hurt.
"What is it?" White asked.
"It's a pokemon, let me check what pokemon it is." I flipped out my Pokedex and pointed it at the pokemon.
"Zubat." it started, "Zubat are blind pokemon with supersonic powers. Zubat live in caves and hate to fly in the sunlight."
"Well if it hates the sunlight why is it out here?" I asked
"It didn't come from the city. Aha, it came from Union Cave!" White asked
"And where's that?" I asked.
"Let me check." White took out her map and scanned it for a sec
"Here it is, it's the cave..." she stopped and frowned. "It's the cave that we have to go threw to get to Azalea town."
"Is it dark and scary?"
"It's a cave Black, I'd have to make that assumption."
"Ok well let's get this little guy to its home." I said. I picked up the small zubat and held it in my arms with eevee who shaded most of the sun from zubat. It seemed scared at first but settled down once it figured out the way we were going.
"Hey White?"
"Yeah."
"What's our end game here?"
"What?" she asked
"I mean after we defeat all the gym leaders, than what?"
"Oh, well after that we walk all the way back to Woodrow town, take a ferry ride to Kanto..." I interrupted
"Wait wait wait, whats Kanto?" I asked
"Kanto, you know the region next to us."
"Oh, ok."
"Anyway, after we get to Kanto we fight the elite four..." I interrupted again
"The elite four?" I asked
"Yeah, the elite four are like four super strong gym leaders we have to beat in a row, than fight the champion, whoever that is, and become said champion.
"So we have to trek all the way back, take a boat ride, fight four really strong trainers, in a row, then fight the insanely strong champion." I said
"Yeah that's about the whole plan their." I nodded, though I felt weak when I compared myself to the brutes we'd have to face. All three of us walked and talked for about half an hour until we were hungry and stopped to eat. White layed down a small blanket and some food for us to eat.
"Hey White did you happen to buy something for hurt pokemon?" I asked
"Yeah, I forgot about that, here." she tossed me this weird-looking spray. "Hey before you go spraying away, remember that it stings when you put it on, so don't go freaking out if it looks like it hurts it ok."
"Yeah, thanks for telling me." I began to spray a tiny bit on zubat's wings to help it, and just like she said, it looked like it was hurting it, but in the end it seemed a lot better. "There you go little guy, it should feel a lot better. The zubat began to flap its wings, I felt better knowing that it felt better. I set it down on the blanket and shaded it with my handbag.
"Want some tea Black?" she asked
"Yeah." I replied.
"What about you Gardevoir?" White asked.
"Sure, thank you." She said. We sat to eat for another half an hour then began to walk again. I grabbed eevee and zubat. After walking for ten minutes we began to see Union Cave in the distance.
"That cave is pretty big!" White said.
"I know. Maybe we should go back." I replied.
"Is someone afraid of the dark." White said with a smirk on her face.
"Nnnnooo, that's not it!" I yelled
"You have us Black don't be scared." Gardevoir said nicely
"I'm not scared!" I yelled
"Well we have to get to the other side."
"You can go, I think I'll find another way.
"Really, what if Silver thinks you chickened out and goes on to become champion, leaving you in the dust." White said.
"Oh I don't think so, I'll show that cocky jerk who's who!" I yelled. I started to sprint towards Union Cave.
"Look at him go, I guess the thought of being showed up by this Silver guy gave him the kick he needed White." Gardevoir said
"Yeah, him and Silver aren't on the friendliest of terms." White replied
"Why so." She asked
"Well when Black came to our town Silver picked a fight with him and was making fun of eevee. Then Black, taking Silvers comments seriously fought him, then won. Then as you heard two hours ago Silver called him and probably said some rude comments again." White said
"Oh my, this Silver guy sounds rather rude." Gardevoir said
"He's just touchy but he's sweet on the inside." she replied.
It took me five minutes to get to the entrance. I stared up at the entrance, then looked behind me to see White making a run to catch up to me. I began to walk in to the cave. All I could see was endless darkness.
"There is no way I'm letting that jerk beat me."
