The Ruined Town (2)
The next day arrived and the group slept surprisingly well. There was no issues nor attacks from Pokemon. Austin got up and began to pack his tent and sleeping bag. Then he released the rest of his Pokemon Combusken and togetic. He pulled out dried rations and began to eat with his Pokemon.
The rest of the group looked at Austin's Pokemon. They figured that they misjudged this kid. All his Pokemon are rare and loyal. He has absolute trust in them. They got this from how close they seemed while eating. It seemed like a family having breakfast.
"Austin you have such a beautiful togetic. It golden in color. The symbols look like gems on its body. So beautiful! I want one as well." Lilly exclaimed.
Austin responded," do you know how rare togepi is. It's so rare it was put on the same level as mythical Pokemon. It is also the hardest to train. With the view of Pokemon today it would be almost impossible to evolve. This Pokemon needs love and affection to grow. You probably have a better chance finding a lugia or darkrai, than finding a togepi. I have one because I got lucky."
Austin's response made the excited Lilly to feel dejected. The team got ready and Austin called back Combusken and togetic. The group continued there way until they encountered a group of nidoran. They were being led by a nidorino and two nidorina.
A battle began and this time everyone joined in. Austin's Noibat began attacking with air cutter and sonic boom. Austin had it execute hyper voice during a key moment knocking out a nidorina. The nidorino was defeated by seismitod and if it wasn't healed would die. Austin went up to the group of Pokemon and began to heal them. His actions shocked the people from Zaldia. They finally understood what he meant by he likes Pokemon. He seriously is a true monster lover.
Austin cared less for their opinions and continued to heal the injured nidoran pack. He wanted to keep to his belief that it can get better. The world will return to the way it was portrayed in the anime. Austin felt he already invited such a change. Lillipup, the better farm plan and how they should deal with the Pokemon. The food crisis in the city-state. Now the main issue would be the power plant issue and living conditions.
Austin finished healing the Pokemon and signaled the others to continue there way. They kept walking for a couple hours fighting Pokemon along the way. They encountered an absol, zangoose, tropius, raichu, nincadas. Austin gave each of his Pokemon a chance to battle. They raked in on the experience. Austin would also patiently explain to his Pokemon how they can fight better. He even had them do double and triple battles.
The others also began copying him after seeing the visible results with Austin's Pokemon. Lilly had a notable battle against a misdeavorous(prob misspelled). She used her Zoroark to battle it. She learned a bit from Austin's battles and managed to finish off the ghost Pokemon easily. Her Pokemon ended it with a Night slash.
The group continued there way and eventually reached the end of the marsh. Austin and the group found themselves entering the woods. Austin felt uncomfortable for some reason and released the rest of his Pokemon. He had them stand in a formation. Seeing how Austin acted the rest of the group each released an extra Pokemon. Grey summon a charzard, Tonny called a vileplume, and Lilly called out a kirla.
"Austin what is going on?" Lilly whispered to him.
" I don't know I just have a bad feeling. There is a semi sweet sent in the air. It feels like we're walking into a trap. Just stay alert. Order your Pokemon to attack on any Pokemon onsight." Austin said. The rest followed his command. It wasn't because they felt he was special or had better status than them. It was just that anything can happen in the wild. As long as there might be danger then it doesn't hurt to be ready for it.
Austin and the crew kept walking was several slightly transparent balloon like Pokemon surrounded them. Just as they were about to attack the Pokemon vanished when Sylveon roared. It looked at Austin and wrapped its ribbon around him. Austin felt what it wanted to convey to him.
"Guys these are hallucinations, it source might be from this light mist or sweet fragrance. We are in a forest so it might be a Pokemon." Austin said.
Suddenly they heard noise ahead. As they got close they saw a bluish-green Pokemon on the ground surrounded by pink mushroom like Pokemon.
"Dam it! Guys now I understand my bad feeling. It dusk almost dark and we have entered a forest filled with morelull and Shiinotic." Austin warned.
