NEVERMORE

~Part One Of Forever Trilogy~

Chapter 15

Purple Thing and Yellow Thing

Later on the day, I found Viola cuddling with the weirdest looking Pokemon I had ever seen. It was round, covered in purple fur. It had white antennae, red compound eyes, and a pincer-like mouth. It had stubby paws and clodhopper feet. I had to admit, it was cute, though.

"What are you cuddling?" I asked.

"This is Veno, my Venonat!" she announced proudly. "They're pretty rare in Sinnoh. Aren't I lucky?"

"I guess so," I said. "Don't Venonat seep poison or something like that?" See, I know some things about Pokemon!

She paled. "Uh, I think you're right." She set Veno down. "No more cuddling, Veno." She stood up. "I'm gonna go take a shower." Then she dashed off, leaving me with Veno.

"Well then that was nice of her," I grumbled. "Well, Veno, guess you're spending the rest of the day with Raiden and me."

The little bug then proceded to follow us around. I didn't mind. Raiden had a companion. I couldn't help but wonder if we would be able to have more than one Pokemon once we got to Mount Silver.

Suddenly, both Pokemon dashed off somewhere. Sighing, I went after them. I found them digging for something. I frowned. What had gotten them so excited?

"What is it, guys?" I asked once I got there.

"Pika pi!" cried Raiden. Veno found something shiny and yellow!

Something shiny and yellow? What the..?

"Ven venonat!" said Veno. I found it! I found it!

Together, Raiden and Veno dragged out what they were digging for. It was oval shaped, and more of a yellowish orange color. It was sort of clear. I took the strange object; it was heavier than it looked! I frowned.

"What is this?" I asked no one in particular. "I'm gonna go find Chase...or Sapphire or Am. They'll know what this is."

I ended up finding Sapphire. She was finally training Tempo with Plato. She had her only Pokemon, Grovyle, out. An Grass type against an Water type? How fair was that?

"Hey, Sapphire," I said. "Do you know what this is?" I showed her the oval object.

She did a double take. "Do I know what this is? Of course I do! That's Old Amber! You can revive an prehistoric Pokemon from that!"

I gasped. "Really? What kind of Pokemon?"

"Aerodactyl," she answered. "It's a Rock and Flying type. I'd keep that Old Amber if I were you. Back at Mount Silver we have a machine that can take the DNA out of the Old Amber and restore the Aerodactyl."

"Huh?" said Plato. "What did Topaz find?"

"Raiden and Viola's Venonat found it," I said. "An Old Amber."

His orange eyes got big. "Really? That's so cool. Lucky little Psyduck!"

...

I couldn't believe it. I couldn't wait to get to Mount Silver even more. The rest of the day, I spent helping Sapphire and her Grovyle train Plato and Tempo. That night, Chase called another meeting. We were heading north, to Snowpoint City. Ever since the regions joined together, seasons were normal. Winter was coming; we'd have to dress warm.

We immediately began to prepare for the journey. We were given warm clothes, supplies, and food. The Pokemon were even given something warm to wear. I was given a sack to carry the Old Amber in. We still had a long way to go. We had to cross Hoenn, and then Johto. Then we would reach Mount Silver.

It was so far away. The funny thing was, wanted posters began to pop up only for me. Celestic Town had access to the government's cable. The police were searching everywhere for me, Chase, Sapphire, and Am. Not any of my friends that had been there in Eterna. What was going on?

Kinda short. There'll be more action soon. And maybe some romance ;) review!
