Author's Notes: Sup guys, RayTheZoroark here. I think it's about time we get this show on the road... for real!
Disclaimer: Who the fuck cares about the disclaimer?
Instead of a riddle this time, see if you can find the answer to this question:
What Pokemon's ability to see through objects helps it see danger?
Chapter 13: Sibling Rivalry
*POV: Ray*
Something rustling outside woke me up. I turned my head, hearing the sound of whispering outside the tent. I could only catch snippets.
"...set it there..."
"You...heavy..."
"I didn't...there..."
Turning, I realized both Aura and Shadow were in the tent. I slowly got up, and walked over to the tent flap silently. I peeked out, catching a glimpse of two figures messing with something right beside the tent.
"There. Come on, let's go tell the others!" One said, obviously male.
"Yeah yeah." The other replied, this one female. They moved away, and I slid out, observing the thing they had left in the little light the moon cast. It was rectangular, about as big as a cooler, and was silver. I slid back inside and shook Shadow and Aura awake, motioning for them to be silent. I grabbed Ace from Shadow and was about to step out when a buzzing sound started, and the air started to tingle. I barely had enough time to throw a protect around us before the tent exploded. When the smoke cleared, I was surprised to see about twenty people standing in a circle around us, swords in hand, and Houndoom and Mightyena at their side. They wore all grey outfits. Shadow's and Aura's eyes widened.
"Stand down!" One yelled, clearly in charge. I sent a mental message to Shadow, and she nodded to show she heard.
"Who're you?" I asked.
"Who we are is none of your business!" The leader said. "Now hand over your Pokemon, or we'll use force!"
"You've already blown up our tent." I pointed out.
"Just stand down!" He replied.
"No!" I growled, reaching my right hand out sideways. A black sword materialized in my hand. I pointed it toward the leader.
"I warn you, we will not tolerate resistance." He said.
"Yeah yeah yeah. You guys are all the same." I said. Shadow stuck out her paws, and the two Zoruas disappeared into Luxury Balls. I smirked.
"Good. This'll be a good warm up." I jumped, and all hell broke loose. I went straight for the leader, knocking people away as I went. One jumped forward and stabbed at me, but I sidestepped it and thrust sideways, disarming and overbalancing him. A Houndoom thought it wise to charge, fangs bared. It leaped, but I swatted it aside. Finally, the leader met me. He had a helmet on, so I couldn't distinguish his facial features. But the moment our swords clashed, I knew he was a skilled fighter. We tested each other first, looking for weak-points, and I noticed he kept putting his weight on his right side, leaving his left exposed. I moved forward, feigning to the right, then spinning and swinging to the left. He blocked the blow, but his sword went skidding away. I pointed the sword at his throat.
"Submit." I said. He chuckled, which turned into a laugh.
'Hahahahaha!" He laughed. "That was well played." He said. I looked at him in confusion. He chuckled again, and removed his helmet. My eyes hardened.
"Brother." I said.
End Notes: Again, I'm so so sorry this one was so short, and I absolutely promise that the next one will be longer. I've just been struggling to find the time to write, and inspiration is slow. But do not be saddened. I most certainly plan to continue for a long while yet. Anyway, hope you liked it. R&R! RayTheZoroark Out!
