18) Viridian Forest ( Part 2)

It has been a week since they had entered the Viridian forest. As for why they are still in the forest is because they are ....

LOST

Yes they lost. They were indeed lost.

" I should have never followed you. i should have known with how careless you are. Did I tell you how much of a idiot you are. Let me tell you you are a fool. idiot, buffoon heck even a Slowpoke is more intelligent compared to you. DID YOU HEAR ME LANCE?"

Alex roared at last.

" I am sorry ok I am sorry. " and look at the bright side "aren't we going out for a Adventure so exploring the unknown is adventure. Let's head onwards to adventure." Lance excitedly said.

While Alex, his hidden Haunter and his butterfree on the head looked at him blankly.

and Alex added," I have never seen a shameless person like you. you bastard"

" What shameless. I am telling the truth."

Lance countered.

The group travelling through the forest got lost because Lance said he knew a shortcut and believing him Alex followed. But they only headed deeper into the forest and got lost. Hell if it wasn't they were stronger than average trainer they would have even lost their life. This time almost all their Pokemon are battle tired. Of course they are just mentally tired not physically so if there is any threat they could counter it.

This also helped improving their battle experience, energy control and battle sense ( they don't need to always command their Pokemon. They have now become fairy autonomous as they group battled multiple Pokemon.)

Once they battled a Beedrill colony then a Spearow and fearow then Rattata's heck they even encountered a nidoran herd headed by Nidoking and survived only because Butterfree was able to confuse it making room for them to escape.

So in a way we can say they had multiple near death experience, this also strengthened their bond. Earlier they could only be considered more than acquaintance but not friend ( not enough to disclose about their family) and now they are almost like friends who know each other since childhood.

Heck they even cursed each other but still trusted the other enough to let him have his back. He even told him about his Trump card, Haunter and the mystery about the forest.

So even if they are playful they are vigilant to any slight chance of danger. They continued to travel unknown that two pair of eyes in the shadow had been observing them.

Meanwhile with the shadows,

" Sir we got news that there are two more trainers around here. if we get them our task will be complete." said a grunt.

" Then catch them quick. We are running out of time. Also how many are transported?"

asked the boss.

The boss wore a black outfit. With black shirt and pants and with a star on his shirt. He had a angry face which even if he smiled will only make him scary. he even had a scar on his left cheek and at forehead. Around him was a scary Houndoom and a weavile .

Houndoom is a quadruped, canine Pokémon that is mainly black with a long orange snout and an orange underbelly. It has small, red eyes and a black nose. Around its neck is a white band with a small skull-shaped pendant on its throat. There are two white bands on each of its ankles, as well as three rib-like ridges on its back. Houndoom has a long, skinny tail with a triangular tip and three clawed toes on each paw. On top of its head is a pair of long, curved gray horns.

This houndoom also had a scar around it's neck and dried wounds on it's body while it's horms had cracks on them. To sum up it looked s extremely scary . Heck his weavile was even scarier.

Weavile is a bipedal, weasel-like Pokémon with a pale gray body and several feathery areas. It has a bright red crown and collar made of wide feathers, and a single, thinner feather on each ear. The ear feathers are smaller on a female Weavile. Weavile has two tail feathers and three claws on each paw. There is a yellow, oval marking in the center of its forehead. Its eyes are red with three eyelashes, and four fangs protrude from its upper jaw.

Except for a scar on it's stomach it wasn't that wounded. But what made it scary was it's blood thirsty eyes and it's claws were stained red. We don't need to tell how it might get this colour.

" Sir we are able to transport half of them."

" Why are you so slow ? Don't you know what happens to those who fail?" He said angrily and eyes red in anger.

And to add to the effect his houndoom showed it's fangs which were slightly red and his weavile raised it's bloody claws.

Seeing this the grunt," Sss.irr we were doing this do that we don't attract the league."

" You Slowpoke ( an insult meaning stupid, dumbass) did I not tell you league had already started to take action and they may attack us any day"

Now the Pokemon were just a step away from jumping on him. So he immediately replied,

" Sir it is the second shipment. the earlier was already sent."

" is that so. hahahahahaha . I thought I was gonna die because of you. I hope no trouble happen in the task. I am sure you know the consequences of failure." he ended eerily.

This time they just positioned themselves lazily around him as if they never stood to threaten the grunt.

the grunt gulped," Yyyyesss sir"

And he passed the message to act on the two targeted trainer.

who just happened to be our hero Alex and his best friend and rival, Lance.

What will happen to these two young trainers?What will they do in this situation? How will they reach the pallet town? or will they get caught by the shadows ? To know the answer to all these questions and many other just stay tuned.
