"…We came in!"
"I guess so…"
"Damn it!"
"All of that hard work for nothing…"
Another attempt at reaching the end failed. More time wasted on finding the end, more time wasted on finding the way out. A few minutes later, the two are running again.
"Why was there any…improvements?" asked Luxray, out of breath.
"Didn't you already asked that?" asked Absol, also out of breath.
"I don't remember…"
"Well…I don't…know…"
They stopped to find more Lileep. Luxray looked up, preparing a lightning cloud. Like before, it took time.
The Lileep charged forward; Absol getting ready to attack. Luxray's lighting cloud stuck down on most Lileep; half fainted, the other half partly knocked out, but also paralyzed by the lighting.
Absol ran forward quickly to one of the Lileep. She charged, head forward, at quick speed: Quick Attack. She later jumped to another and used Slash.
"C'mon! Over here!" yelled out Luxray. Absol jumped out of the raid and ran behind Luxray. Most were knocked out but some were still in tacked. But those who were still awake, stayed behind to help out the others.
"…You think…they stayed behind?"
"…Yeah, let's slow down…"
"Alright..."
Absol and Luxray slowed their pace down and eventually stopped. It was hard to tell if they were in the same rest stop as before. But this time, Luxray didn't care.
"You know," Luxray started, "This is really pissing me off."
"It's also pissing me off two," agreed Absol.
"Damn it, why did it have to be today…Can you remind me again on why you're here with me?" he asked.
"I'm here because Luke needs proof that you actually went through the Mystery Dungeon."
"Why? Is it because he doesn't trust me or what?"
"I'm not sure…did we have this conversation before?"
"I don't know…" answered Luxray, "and I don't care. C'mon, I just want to get out."
"Ok."
They reach a 2-way road five minutes later. They stop and look at both directions.
"Were we here before?" asked Absol.
"I don't remember after all of the battles," answered Luxray.
"What way do you think we should go?"
"Let's try this way."
"Ok."
They look around the road they decided to walk in: all dark and black in the distance. When Luxray looked back, all he could see black. He looked back forward; again, all he could see was black.
"It feels as if we're going the wrong way…" said Luxray.
"What makes you say that?" asked Absol.
"Everything around us seems so…dark."
"What? You can't handle the darkness?" asked Absol, smiling at Luxray.
"Wha- No! It's not that, i-it's just that…"
"Sure, whatever you say…"
"Why aren't you somewhat superstitious about the darkness around us?" asked Luxray.
Absol stopped, staring at Luxray. He stops as well, turning back to Absol.
"I'm a Dark-type," answered Absol, "How can I be superstitious about the darkness if I'm used to and bred in the darkness?"
"W-well, sorry…" responded Luxray, "I was just asking."
"Ok, whatev-"Absol stopped speaking at stared beyond her distance. Luxray stopped beside Absol's side. "Crap…" stressed out Absol, "more trouble."
"Damn it," responded Luxray, "Can this ever end?"
"I don't know, but we can't turn back now, or we could be stranded here longer."
"Let's just go on more forward."
They run on forward, not wasting time on seeing what's on their way. They eventually reach to an enemy: an Armaldo appeared. Absol and Luxray stood, wondering what they could do to end this again quickly. After about 30 seconds, another Armaldo came from behind, and then a third came out.
"Aww, crap…"
Absol backed away slightly, looking uneasy. Luxray turned to her.
"What's wrong?" asked Luxray. She didn't answer but kept on looking about on the Armaldo. "Oh yeah, that's right." He looked back onto the enemies, still waiting. "I'll try to cover you, just don't sweat it." She still didn't answer; Luxray instead took her mood as a yes.
Luxray looked up, where a thundercloud was forming. The cloud was filled with yellow lightning bolts, a classic color for such a thing. He looked on at the Armaldo in the middle and started to glow yellow; eventually he started to spark out bolts out of his body. He rushed toward the Armaldo in the middle, who had its claws shining throughout. Luxray rushed quickly at him; he attacked the Armaldo before it could make an attack. The thundercloud released 2 thunderbolts on each of the other Armaldo.
Absol used Razor Wind on the 2 Armaldo, and then rushed over to the one on the left and used Psycho Cut. It flew back, not rising back up. She kept on looking at the knocked out Armaldo, not distracted about Luxray.
Luxray's mouth seemed to release some lightning bolts; he bit the Armaldo he slammed into, long enough to make it not move. After the bite, Luxray ran forward.
"C'mon!"
"What about the other one?"
"I don't care about the other one! I just want to get out of here!" Absol followed up to reach up with Luxray.
After a while running for about 5 minutes, they stop to look around. Luxray seemed to be in disbelief. Absol didn't seem to in any disbelief, but in relief.
Luxray looked around his surroundings, not sure what to think. His face showed anger, Absol didn't see but could feel his stress. She decided to stay silent until Luxray said something.
Luxray decided to look straight ahead, still with anger shown in his face.
"Isn't this where…"
This chapter is not the original Chapter 20; this is a replacement of the original C20, which was never posted. I still have the chapter; it's up for debate if you want to see the Deleted Scene(s) or not.
Adding the Unova Pokémon can be done, but it'll have to wait for later chapters within the progress. If at least one of the Unova Pokémon gets to be in the story, they won't be considered as 'new Pokémon' in the story.
