Chapter 11: Dinosaur

I find a small place that would be good to set up camp. I reach for my backpack to grab my tent and sleeping pads, but encounter nothing. I frown as I realize that I destroyed it in my rage where glittering cave used to be. I sigh and start looking for a cave or thick tree to sleep under. My good fortune finds me a large cavern, well-lit by luminescent fungi. My Pokémon hastily rush inside.

"Wait! There are wild Pokémon here, do not venture out of my sight!" I call

"Are you afraid for us?" Pyro says.

"No, I am afraid for me!" I say. Pyro and Psy snicker as they run away, but Cyclone looks worried. He hops over next to me and stays there. To my surprise no wild Pokémon show up. I don't see any bodies of fainted Pokémon either. I wonder where they all went as I hear rustling from behind me. I whip around quickly, and see a boy. He is wearing gray shorts, a black shirt, a gold medallion with the letters LTS in silver. He has an Ultraball in his hand, and he is looking around carefully. "What are you doing? Are you looking for anything?"

"I am wondering where all the Golbats and Zubats are and such," he says.

"Huh, I have not seen any bodies of dead or fainted Pokémon, so I wonder what that is all about…"

"Me, too. Hey, want to battle?"

"No, I cannot battle without the others."

"What others?" he asks, then Pyro and Psy run out of the tunnel in front of me, panting.

"Woah, where are you going?" NO TIME, JUST RUN FOR YOUR LIFE IF YOU VALUE IT!

"Your Pokémon are psychic?"

"Yes, now let's MOVE!" I say as I hear a roar from behind me. As we run out of the cave, we block it off. No sooner had we done that and we were walking away, breathing hard, that the entrance crashes open, and a Tyranitar stomps into view. I start running, only to stop when I feel the metal bar attached to my belt. I take it out, press the button and it pops into the boomstick. I raise the gun to my shoulder, and pull the trigger. The reslulting report hits the Tyranitar, blasting one of its legs off. I fire again, ripping its other leg off, sending it crashing to the ground. I spit in its face and walk away, turning the boomstick into the metal bar. As I return it, I notice that it now has five tally marks on the side. I check to see if everyone is OK. I see Cyclone start glowing white, and realize that he is evolving. I release Psy from her Pokéball, but instead I find a Gardevoir, beautiful in many ways. I grunt and continue down the path. Shortly thereafter I find the entrance to Victory Road. I start down the path, only to be stopped by some random dude. He says that I need eight gym badges to start down Victory Road. I show him the boomstick's 30 gauge shells and say, "These are my eight gym badges, now MOVE!" He sweats a bit and moves out of the way. I give Fire Rage the stone, and she evolves into a Delphox. She is now as tall as I am, with a red fur dress. I smile a bit, knowing that she was now very powerful. I scan her and the others with my Pokédex. I gasp at what I see:
