Chapter 20: Sand Sand And More Sand

As the sun blazed high in the sky I looked out in front of me.

Seeing nothing but sand, sand, and more sand for miles in every direction.

But Unova's Route 4 is a desert so I expected nothing less.

As I walked the constructed and cracked path, Elesa is keeping pace right beside me.

A pair of stylish sunglasses over her eyes.

I am also wearing some.

She bought them for me as a gift before we left Castelia City a week ago.

Right after our first date as a couple.

It was nothing special, just dinner as a fancy restaurant.

Oh and if you are wondering if people eat pokemon in the pokemon world, then the answer is yes.

When I first learned this I can't say I didn't have some mental issues. But I quickly got over it.

Especially when Drayden took me out to celebrate my fifteenth birthday and I got to eat my very first Bouffalant steak.

That is a meal I will never forget.

Elesa and I continued on the beaten path, periodically taking breaks and hydrating since neither one of us wanted to pass out from heat stroke or exhaustion.

As we continued on our way we suddenly stopped when we heard noises up ahead.

That's when we both reached for our pokeball's and I released Dragonite, while she released Zebstrika.

Since we have no idea what we are about to walk into.

"Ready whenever you are." I said.

"Then let's go." Elesa spoke.

Nodding.

The two of us, Zebstrika, and Dragonite moved forward.

Preparing ourselves to face what was up ahead.

-------------------------------

We got closer and closer to the noises.

Eventually we reached what was causing them.

Out in the sand dunes the four of us spotted pillars of sand exploding upwards into the air.

Along with multiple figures.

All of them pokemon.

One one side we saw Sandile being led by a Krokodile.

While on the other side are Tranpich, being led by a Flygon.

They are obviously two colonies battling each other.

Which makes sense, because Sandile are natural predators of Trapinch.

The latter is likely just defending themselves from the former.

"Look at them all go." Elesa mused.

"I know." I said. Releasing Gyarados as I did so.

"Hey girl, use Water Pulse on those Sandile and Krokodile. Don't hurt the Trapinch or Flygon." I instructed her.

After I did so I noticed Elesa and her Zebstrika giving me a flat look.

"What, I want a Flygon for my team and in saving those Trapinch I hope to get one of them go join me to accomplish said goal." I spoke.

I'm not going to be shy about what I want.

At my words my girlfriend and her pokemon simply released short sighs from theirs mouth.

I took it in stride.

As I did this Gyarados fired off several Water Pulses in the direction of the Sandile.

Striking them.

After this happened both pokemon groups turned their attention to ours.

"Hello there." I said to all of them.

"Krokodile!" The Krokodile cried in anger.

He then fired off a Dark Pulse in our direction.

Bad move.

"Gyarados, Hyper Beam." I calmly stated.

When I did so she fired off the beam and it ran into the Krokodile Dark Pulse, completely overpowering it before slamming into the pokemon and blowing it away into the sky across several sand dunes.

Seeing this the Sandile starting running in the direction their leader flew off, kicking up a trail of dust as they did so.

Ignoring them I walked down and came to stand in front of the Flygon and the Trapinch it led.

Dragonite right by my side.

While Gyarados covered Elesa and Zebstrika.

"Hello again." I said to Flygon and the Trapinch. "My name is Ezra Grimheart and I am a pokemon trainer." I spoke.

I then explained what a pokemon trainer was, and gave them the cliffnotes version of why I assisted them.

"So, would any of you like to become my pokemon?" I asked. Once my explanation was finished. "If you do I promise to make you evolve into a Flygon, make you strong, and never betray you." I said.

After I did so several Trapinch simply stared at me. As did their Flygon leader.

Until one of them saddled forward.

A fiery look in its eyes.

"Trapinch!' It cried.

"So, you want to take me up on my offer then." I said.

"Trapinch." It nodded its head.

I look to the Flygon to see if it was alright and it nodded its head in approval.

Once it did so I took out an empty pokeball, and then gently learned down and tapped the Trapnich on its head.

It then went inside the pokeball easily.

Giving me my fifth pokemon.

After this happened I took out my phone and scanned Trapinchs' pokeball with my pokedex app to see it was a she.

Cool.

Once everything was said and done I returned Gyarados and then Elesa and I split from the Trapinch colony.

Zebstrika and Dragonite still by our sides.

In case those Sandile came back to try and get revenge.

But that didn't happen.

Instead we four continued through the desert.

Then reached an oasis just before sunset.

As our group of four reached the small patches of grass surrounding it, we noticed a tent set up.

Meaning someone else was here as well.

A second after we noticed this we heard footsteps.

Turning in the direction they were coming from we soon saw the individual who made them.

A girl our age with dark-brown hair secure in a high ponytail. She also has brown eyes and a sizeable chest. But her best asset is her bubble butt which is being hugged by a pair of jeans shorts that hardly leave anything to the imagination.

I know this girl.

She is Hilda from the BW2 games, or White as she is known in the pokemon manga's.

She is also one of my top waifu from pokemon.

Yet here I am meeting her after just getting a girlfriend.

This is definitely because of the flag I raised.

(A/N: Refer to previous chapter for said flag)
