Hello readers, Champbybirth is here with another chapter for Adventures of Pika and Friends.
So without saying much, I start with this chapter…
Chapter 17: Doing nothing is too boring…
A few days had passed after our friends thought of staying quiet and doing nothing. In these two days, Lucario taught them various skills. He trained Pika and Icycles, the techniques of dodging and attacking. But this training was done for just two hours of the day. The reason for this was Zoroark had learnt the technique of Aura scanning. He could scan Aura and find out where's one hiding. But he couldn't use it all day. There should be a rest of at least two hours and these two hours were used by Pika and friends to train…
"I think this won't help us at all!"
"What do you mean Icycles?" Chipa questioned.
"I mean, the way we are training, we just do it for a few hours. I know he can scan our aura and find where we are but why just we don't go and attack him."
"You don't know how powerful he is." Lucario remarked.
"BUT AS THE DAYS PASS MORE AND MORE POKEMON ARE DYING AND WE ARE JUST SITTING HERE DOING NOTHING!"
"Icycles calm down! I know how you feel but we just can't go and attack him. The whole world's faith is in our hands and so we can't go there to fight him without any proper plan," Pika came near his childhood buddy and calmed him down.
"I think this is a good time to do so," Lucario rose from his meditation as a small smirk grew on his face.
"What do you mean?" Fiery gave him a weird look mixed of confusion and suspicion.
"He has stopped it and now's the time," the smirk on his face grew wider.
"What do you want to say, please make it clear," Icycles said as Pika nodded.
"I mean, Zoroark has stopped his scanning,"
"But just a few hours ago he rested?" Chipa questioned.
"Yes and by that he has cooled down a bit. He probably thinks we died in that mental aura attack he gave us. We can now plan our mission to take him down."
"Good! Let's do it then!" Pika shouted as all of them did the same.
"So look here is the plan," Lucario said while all the four sat around him.
"Zoroark is currently at the top of Mt. Coronet. We need to give him a surprise attack. And the only way I see, is by going through Mt. Coronet,"
"But climbing that steep mountain will drain out energy. Also his minions will be protecting it. It's not possible for us to get there without him knowing about us," Icycles stated.
"But who said we are going to climb!"
"What do you mean?" Fiery questioned.
"I mean we are going to go through it!"
"Through it? Like going from inside?" Pika questioned.
"Yep! I do mean from inside," Lucario said as he opened out an overview map of Mt. Coronet.
"Look this is Mt. Coronet and this place here is a small opening," Lucario said pointing to a small black dot on the map.
"We have to sneak in from here and follow the routes according to a pattern. Also he would have placed a lot of minions out there who patrol the area. We have to sneak past them. If we hit him directly, his minions would be the first to run away which will bring us a fair battle."
"So it seems you have it all in your mind," Fiery said.
"Yes! Does anyone have any questions?"
"Yes. You said something about the paths being in a pattern, what is that pattern?" Pika said.
"The pattern! Thousands of years ago, it was impossible to climb Mt. Coronet due to heavy snowing and hence a few pokemon constructed a path from the inside to the top of the mountain. They found out that the top was the key to the Spear Pillar and the Spear Pillar is a resting place for the Legendaries. So under the threat that a few evil pokemons could try to establish their control on the Pillar, they made a pattern to secure the top. If anyone doesn't follow the pattern they would end up at the very entrance of the path,"
"Oh! But I haven't heard about this?" Fiery said wondering how she didn't heard about this legend in her whole Historian life (I think I told you that she is a historian).
"It was long buried down. And also as the Global Warming things started, the slopes of Mt. Coronet became climbable. This could be the reason that the pokemons forgot about it. The legends also don't return their much. But we are going away from the point. The most important thing now is to bring down the reign of Zoroark."
"So when are we going to execute it!" Chipa asked.
"We will set in a few hours. Get ready with all the things you want but be sure to keep it at minimum. Icycles, I want you to take a jar full of Healing water. We would need it,"
"Ok! I will do it, but hey where are the Guardians, I haven't seen them."
"They have gone out to see how the outside conditions are."
"Well I hope that they are good!" Icycles said depressively as Pika patted him in his back.
So all of them gathered the food, the water and did a last practice before they would go and face their rival, accomplish their destiny and bring back peace to world.
Finally one more chapter done, I see this story coming to its climax. The greatest part, the battle, which I had in my mind for months, will finally come up in a few more chapters.
