Chapter 23: Lavaridge Town
We walked into the empty town.
"Anyone still here?"
"Get out of here!" A voice yelled.
A blast of fire shot by, over our heads.
"Pikachu! Thunder!" I cried.
"Camerupt! Magnitude!"
The ground shook. I fell to my knees.
"Help!" I cried.
Pokemon were everywhere, charging our attackers from all sides.
"Alright! I give!"
The pokemon backed off. There stood a girl with a blonde ponytail. She had a black t-shirt that ended above her belly button.
"What are you doing here?" she asked me.
"Looking for anyone who tried to stay here against the evacuation." I said.
"I guess you found one., then." she said. "My name is Rhonda. My mother is Flannery, the gym leader here."
"Is there anyone else here?" I asked.
"Nope, just me."
"Would you like to come with me? I have a place I share with my boyfriend. It's really safe from the League."
"Um... Maybe. It depends."
"On what?" I asked, frowning.
"There are some pokeballs in Mom's gym. Ultra balls. I need to get to them, but the gym is a huge maze, and I can't find my way through to the office."
"Alright," I said, "I'll help you."
Chapter 24: Fallarbor Town (Dustin's POV)
I raced into Fallarbor Town, and immediately went to the Pokemon Center. That would be the first place they would go.
"Hello? Anyone here?"
"The town is empty. I can guarantee you that." A voice said.
I turned around, and there was a woman, who was wearing red.
"What do you want!?" I snapped.
"My name is Rose, and I am a fire Legendary League Member. Care to take a guess which pokemon I hold?"
"Am I supposed to care?" I growled.
"I think you might want to." she smiled.
"Moltres! Fire spin!" she called, and the roof of the Pokemon Center burst into flames.
"Blastoise!" I called. "Hydro cannon!"
Blastoise instead began to fall from the heat. I was beginning to get dizzy.
"Bla...Bl...BLAZIKEN!" I collapsed, unconscious.
The last thing I remembered was a tall figure picking me up as though I were weightless, and run for the door.
