A/N:Time for chapter 3. Enough fooling around in little things. Ok, let's GOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Truly Shiny Chapter 3: Inferno
Verdant's POV
My eyes flutter open. Sunlight floods my vision, blinding me. When it clears up, I come to find Autumn shaking me awake.
"Come on, wake up sleepy Slaking. It's morning!" she says just as perky as always.
"Holy crap, why is it so sunny out?" I ask like she knows. It's never this bright out, even in the summer.
"How am I supposed to know. I literally just woke up five minutes ago."
"It's blinding me."
"I think it feels good against my leaf." She wiggles the large leaf on her head a little.
"Anyway, what's for breakfast?" I ask
"Oran berries. As usual." she says with a sarcastic tone.
"Great." I moan.
"Well food is food."
"I guess."
"Well, let's dig in!" A big pile of Oran berries are set right in front of me. I eat reluctantly, sick of the overly sweet taste of the have our usual morning conversation, usually consisting of what we should do that day, and about the people back at our villages.
"Hey, Verdant" Autumn says like it's a question.
"Yeah?" I respond.
"You might want to see this." She's looking out the entrance. I go over to look.
"Oh. My. Arceus." I gasp. An enormous pillar of crimson flames is rising from a distant clearing in the forest. It is like nothing I have ever seen before. The fire does not seem natural. It has a different color than regular fire. It has the same color as… my ember. It must be from a pokemon.
"Let's go." I say, knowing she wants to. But she's already running. I chase after her, racing toward the fire as fast as my legs would carry me. Finally, we make it to the clearing. There is a pokemon on a huge rock, cloaked in roaring flames. I can't make out the details, only the basic shape. Autumn looks petrified. I figured. Suddenly, the flames dissipated. It looked noble, but angry. It's thick fur was a dark shade of brown, a white row of spikes coming out of it's sides, and a huge tuft of white fur was coming out of it's back, like smoke from a Torkoal. It had bands around it's paws. I had seen drawings of it… but it's different. Not the same. I can't put my finger on it…
My thoughts are interrupted by Autumn's voice.
"VERDANT WATCH OUT!" she screams frantically. A massive stream of flames is barreling toward us. It seems to go in slow motion, frame by horrible frame.
We are about to die.
A/N: Cliffhanger! You thought I dropped this didn't you? Sorry for the short chapter, I needed to get it out there. Also, first one to guess the mystery pokemon right get's a cookie! As always, read and PLEASE REVIEW! Have a good day! :D
