Chapter 13- Bug boy

"Unown return please." I called the pokemon back. Now it was time to move on. Where was that again? I looked at my travel map to see what was next. The map read Azalea town.

'Ah the slowpoke well is there in that town and also that famous pokeball crafter Kurt.' I remembered that green apricorn in my bag. It was time to go now.

I got back on my unbeaten path so I could continue to Azalea town to beat the gym there. Bugsy was it? The bug type trainer who was tough but I would need to train then.

"Use fury cutter!" A voice replied in the distance I realized it was a trainer battle.

"Block it with a poison sting!" Another voice defended. It was a trainer battle.

I went to see what the action was and I could see who it was. A young boy and his pokemon Ekans were battling a boy dramatically smaller with a Scyther.

Scyther laughed triumphantly as it dodged the attack with style. It rode the wind to a tree where it watched as the frustrated pokemon started wrapping it's elongated body trying to attack the pokemon. It shot at the pokemon like a rocket. But missed and face planted on the ground below. I laughed I didn't know this was a cartoon!

"What are you laughing at?" The trainer said grumpily and I stopped dead silent he apparently didn't appreciate that wonderfully entertaining comment.

"It's okay she's right it is very funny. False swipe." The mantis went in for an air strike. Ekans got itself in a defensive position like a snake waiting to strike oh wait! Ekans was a snake.

"Ekans no!" The trainer groaned as his pokemon fell to the ground out for the count. The boy with the bug types won. "You're lucky I'm not trying today." The boy was so arrogant and snotty.

I decided I had seen enough and walked into town not before looking down the slowpoke well. I didn't notice this but Togepi released itself in from its pokeball and looked down as well but wasn't as lucky as I was because it went head over heels through the well it cried through the dark chamber.

"Togepi no!" I cried and nearly fell over myself. "No don't need that I need to get Togepi." I looked around for something to get my troublesome pokemon. I looked for rope but found none.

"What are you doing?" A voice said.

"I'm trying to rescue my pokemon." I replied frantically.

"I can help." The boy came up to me I noticed it was the same one that battled that Ekans. "What do you need me to do?"

"I need a rope to go down there." I looked down seeing if I could still hear my pokemon.

"Allright. Caterpie and Weedle come I need you!" He cried and about two or three Caterpie and Weedle came out and started to mend a thick rope to use. As soon as it was made I slowly made the rope come down to where I thought Togepi was but there was nothing. I gripped the rope so tightly that I never expected what happened next. I screamed in terror as the rope was yanked down with me on it.

Bug boy grabbed at my legs and held me there as I hung there exhausted with pure exhaustion because I had been so roughed up from the walls of the well I would probably come out black and blue.

"Can you see anything?" I heard Bug boy call out. Bug boy yeah, that's what I would call him. I could see his purple hair at the tiptop of the well.

"No it's dark." I said feeling the wall for any sign of a light switch or something. Cadywhompus wasn't it?

"Use a flashlight or something?" Bug boy replied.

"You mean a torch?"

"No not a torch a flashlight."

"No torch is a flashlight in English."

"Oh I see. Do you need one?" He yelled from above.

"No I need batteries." I called back. "Ouch. Thank you." I rubbed my head at the new injury after he threw the batteries down upon my head. I put them into my flashlight and looked around.

"Do you see anything?" Bug boy asked.

"Yes there's a passage down here I'm going down it." I said.

"Wait you might get hurt down there. I'll go get help."

"Goodbye." That was the last thing I said to the boy as I descended down that tunnel. I could hear dripping of water drops as I went along the worn out tunnel. I could hear low moaning throughout the trip in there. I got so tired of being on my own that I called out some company.

"Totodile" My pokemon rasped.

"Totodile I need your help. Togepi is missing in this tunnel and I need your help." Totodile cocked it's head in confusion. "Oh never mind just follow me." I said to my not so faithful pokemon.

"Togepi hello? Are you there?" I said in a terrified voice.

"Totodile? Toto Totodile." My blue friend copied me.

"Where are you come out!" I screamed scaring the peedidles out of Totodile. I realized that I did and picked my poor pokemon up from the ground. It sniffed in terror and snuggled in my shirtsleeve. I smiled and allowed him to be there for a while until Togepi was found.

"Briiiiiiiiiii!" My skin crawled that was my pokemon crying. I could only think of the horrifying things that were happening to my beloved Togepi, horrible things. I ran as fast as my legs could handle making sure my pokemon didn't just slide out of my arms. "Togepi come out please!" I begged willing my heart to slow down. How elaborate were these tunnels?

I stopped for a moment to catch my breath, only to catch my breath. But that was weakness. Because voices rang through my head horrid voices of taunting and mocking people who were all going after the same thing; me.

"You cannot make it Desiree." One rang out like a bell, a rusty bell.

"You're weak." The second rusty bell rang out.

"You can't raise a single pokemon well." The third one hit me like a gong. Hey wait a minute I did feel like I got hit, square in the head. I started to get really dizzy and could barely stand on my own two feet. Was I really this dramatic? No it was something else. But before I could truly answer that I blacked out. Typical right?

"Desiree I coming for you." The horrifying voice was what brought me back from the dead, or so I thought. I could only see fog, the fog covered the whole room or sky. I wasn't sure about that one.

"What do you want?" I asked standing up in defense from the deadly voice but I was too afraid no wait that was lying I was petrified.

"I only want you to see how your future will become." It laughed. Why was it laughing? Was my life that interesting?

There was no honest way of describing what now happened. I saw images of what looked like the future. But honestly they were trails of smoke. If anything were impossible this was.

"But that's not possible." I whimpered. Apparently something got on my nerves.

"Oh but it is. And it is inevitable." The voice laughed as I watched this horror movie. There I was standing on top of a cliff and behind me was a shadow. It struck me and I fell to my death.

"No one can wake you from this nightmare!"

Note

I wanted to leave a thank you for those who like this story. This was a hard chapter to want to hammer out. Writers block stinks! I will probably give these notes every so often because I'm lazy.

WeS RoYaL asked a very good question about why people are going after Desiree well that's a good question, I don't know! I haven't gotten that far yet. As for Leif she seems to be a bigger rival than Gabriel. But yes it will seem Leif is going after Desiree all for good reasons. But I will find a time to exploit that.

I have been working hard on these pokemon that Desiree catches. If you haven't noticed yet these pokemon she catches are not perfect in any way. I did that on purpose. I feel that if I issue a challenge to my hero it will make it much more deep and interesting and you will probably get attached to the pokemon too. Totodile was an interesting pokemon saying that he is a shiny. But going through much animal genetics I have decided to make shinies have a dangerous gene going around. Bellsprout is a talent at throwing tantrums. Togepi would probably win an award for best Toddler. Unown I'm not sure I haven't talked to him much all he does is sit and stare nothing else.
