EPISODE 121: Never-ending Chaos!

"Great job Treecko, or should I say, Grovyle!" I uttered with complete happiness and satisfaction. A newly evolved Pokemon deserves treats!

"Riolu, rematch?" Grovyle uttered with a heavy smile. His spirit was filled with energy despite the cold ambiance surrounding him.

"I don't want a rematch!" Riolu turned his head swiftly and declined the offer.

"Why is that? Are you scared to lose again?" Grovyle queried with grinding teeth.

"Scared to lose!? Of course not, we're in the same team Grovyle!"

"Hehe, I was just kidding. Of course, we're friends!" Grovyle uttered with a complete smile while panting Riolu's head.

"That leaves us to Riolu, you're the only Pokemon who hasn't evolved yet, except for Shuppet and Scyther of course, since I need to give Scyther this metal coat."

"I don't know, I kept on evolving but it keeps on stopping," Riolu uttered with confusion.

"Are you trying to hesitate?"

"Hesitate?"

"You know? Stopping your evolutional process on purpose!"

"Of course not Kalem, why would I do that?" Riolu uttered with a worried smile.

"Hmm? Alright then, let's go set up the table. It's lunchtime!" I beamed with excitement.

Near a small stream is where I and my Pokemons ate. The trees were covered with fluffy snow, and the stream was completely frozen. The azure blue sky was filled with thin clouds while the morning flower shines above us.

"Alright it's munching time!" I beamed with excitement while placing down the Pokebowls. Mawile also met new friends, just like Grovyle, Zoroark, Gardevoir, Riolu, and Dragonair.

"Now aren't you a cutie?" Gardevoir uttered and complimented while playing with Mawile's hair.

Mawile smiled back at Gardevoir and enjoyed playing with her.

"Help me, anyone! Please!" A young girl shouted in fear and pain from a distance.

"Huh? What the?" I uttered softly while standing up slowly. I searched my surroundings for anyone who was calling for help.

"Anyone? Please, my Pokemon needs help!" the young girl uttered loudly. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her body was filled with bruises, she looked like an innocent toddler who would cause no troubles at all.

"Mr! Mr!" The young girl uttered while trying to rush towards me. She looked like she was about to collapse, but she stood firm for the sake of her Pokemon.

"Oh no, what happened!?" I uttered with shock and worry as I rushed towards her.

"Help... help my Pokemon. Please..." The girl begged while gasping for air. Suddenly, the girl lost consciousness and fell on the icy snow.

"Gardevoir! Quick, hand me the potion! Riolu, gather some sticks!" I instructed loudly with anxiety and worry.

I placed the young toddler and leaned her on a tree. With the sticks Riolu gathered, I made a fire to keep the young girl and her Pokemon warm. I sprayed a potion on the Pokemon's wound while I applied bandages on the girl's wound.

Her Pokemon was a small yellow tiddly being. It had two pointy ears, and a cute smile as well. Pichu, the prequel to Pikachu's evolution. Their temperature seems normal, and it looks to me, they're recovering quickly.

The girl slowly opened her eyes, and saw me smiling at her. Her sight was once blurry but as she stood, the blur disappeared.

"Pichu!?" The young toddler remembered her Pokemon and immediately panicked for it.

"Don't worry, your Pichu is fine. He's sleeping." I uttered with comfort and solace.

"A... are you one of them?" The young girl queried.

"One of them? What are you talking about?"

"The evil men, wearing black armor and black helmets! They had black spooky gloves on their hands."

"Hmm, are you talking about team Chaos?"

"Yes! They tried to kidnap me and Pichu."

"What's your name, young child?"

"My name is Esther, this is my Pichu."

"So team Chaos, was trying to kidnap you?"

"Yes, I was strolling in the mountains with my Pichu, then I saw three strange persons, one of them was a girl and the other two were boys with black armor. They were trying to hurt a Zigzagoon so I decided to help the Pokemon. I lost against them very quickly, and they decided to catch me. They told me to join them." Esther explained.

"I see, show me the way Esther!" I beamed with frustration.

"You want to meet them?"

"Yes, I've been wanting to battle them for a long time! Show me where they are, and I'll defeat them for you!" I uttered with rage.

"Ok Mr, but I'm warning you, the girl with a white outfit is very tough!"

"It's fine by me, that girl probably is a commander, it must've been Hemera, Stella, or Luna! Show me the way, Esther."

The young little Esther led me to where she was bullied. Even the kids, team Chaos messes around with. I guess their heart is pure evil. They're not after money, they're after gods!

"See that girl Mr? She's the strong one," Esther whispered and pointed.

"So, it's Hemera! Watch and learn Esther. You'll surely enjoy this battle!" I beamed with frustration and determination.

"It looks like Mewtwo's footsteps can be seen here." A grunt reported.

"We're getting closer to it, the boss wants Mewtwo right away. Genesect has entered deep hibernation, the only way to wake up Genesect is through Mewtwo!" Hemera uttered.

"Hey miscreants!" I uttered with rage.

"Well if it isn't Kalem, and the child!" A grunt uttered and pointed their electrical gun on us.

Pichu and Esther were shivering in fear.

"Let me guess Kalem, you're here to stop us?" Hemera hunched.

"Of course I am, you bullied a toddler!"

"And so? I don't give a poop about it!"

"Did you just!? I'm totally challenging you to a battle! All of you are selfish, you don't care for the future generations!" I beamed with rage and anger.

"Boy, you can't stop the future from happening. We are the future, and there's nothing you can do about it!"

"I can't stop the future, but I can change it!"

"Darling, you don't know what's possible!" Hemera uttered while holding her Pokeball tightly.

"So it's a battle then!" I beamed with rage and held my Pokeball tightly.

Hemera

Kalem

"If you lose, you'll join us!"

"Deal, but if I win?"

"We won't bother you and the child! Now let this battle begin!"

<Fera!?>

"Break loose Feraligatr!"

<Zoroark dodged the attack! Night Daze was a critical hit!>

Hemera

Kalem

oooo**

"That's it, this battle is over!" Hemera uttered with rage.

"Why? Cause you were about to lose? Every single one of you are the same, all of you are cowards when it comes to losing!"

"How dare you call us cowards! We're not afraid to lose!"

"Then let the battle continue!"

"No, the boss is calling us back! We have to leave now. We'll meet again next time!" Hemera warned and left the mountains through their nifty helicopter.

"Cowards! All of you are scared to be called weak, just like Arville!" I beamed with rage as the helicopter slowly left!

"Zoroark, you did a good job! Now return to your Pokeball."

"Yay, Kalem did it!" Esther beamed with excitement and joy.

"Thanks, Esther, I suggest that you go home now before team Chaos finds you again."

"But, about you Kalem? Aren't you going back to the city?"

"Nope, not yet. I'm still training for my match against Zedrick."

"Who's Zedrick?"

"Um, he's the rank one."

"But isn't miss Beatrice the rank one?"

"You won't understand kid, be safe when you go home."

"Thanks Kalem! Bye!" Esther and Pichu waved while walking down the steep hill.

"Those grunts never stop! They're all scared to lose, because they're afraid to be called losers and weaklings!" I beamed with frustration.

"Kalem, cheer up. Team Chaos is gone now, let's go back to training." Riolu suggested.

"My battles never finish, they keep on quilting! Once I see their leader, I'm going to challenge him again. Those people don't know how to accept defeat!" I uttered rage.

Riolu comforted me, that's when he glowed again.

"R...Riolu!? You're evolving!" I beamed with excitement.

Riolu was growing taller and stronger, the white veil continued to glow around him. Riolu's evolutionary process was working this time, at least... that's what I thought.

"It stopped again!?" I uttered in shock. Riolu's body looked drained and cold.

"Come on Riolu, you need to rest. Once you wake up, you have to explain what just happened!" I uttered softly while lifting Riolu's unconscious body.

I laid him near the fire I made for Esther and Pichu. The fire made Riolu warm. After a few moments, Riolu's eyes began to twinkle. His consciousness returned to him, and that's when I decided to confront him.

"Riolu, tell me what happened! You were evolving then it suddenly stopped!"

"I... I don't know..." Riolu uttered with a weak voice.

"I don't know is not an answer! Tell me what's wrong Riolu? So we can fix it right away, and once it's fixed... you could finally evolve!"

"Why are you so eager to make me evolve anyway!?" Riolu shouted with frustration.

"Jeez Riolu, you don't have to shout. I just wanted you to evolve just like the rest of our team."

"Hmph! You're starting to act like Marley, bigger is better!"

"What Riolu!? Of course not. Are you... scared of evolution?"

"S... Scared? Of course not! Why would I be scared?"

"Then why do you keep on hesitating!"

"I'm not hesitating, maybe if you were me you would know how it feels!"

"Fine, I'm sorry Riolu. Now take a nice rest. I'll be training with the rest of our team first." I uttered while playing with Riolu's chin.

As the journey continues...
