Chapter 7: Leaving Blackthorn Town

Soul: Ahem… Latios use Psychic on one of them, please.

Latios didn't understand the situation they're in but did what Soul said anyways and lifted one of the Houndour and threw it down. It fainted right on spot.

Soul: Anyways, it's fairer now for both of the parties since I'm leaving this place.

He said annoyed as he looked at one of the bullies who yelled at him before. The boy was, of course, scared and felt pressure when he saw Soul looked at his direction.

Soul sighed and rode on Latios before he left the field and back to Aqua house, where he entered an open window in the guest room.

He patted Latios' head and said thank for the ride before he returning it to his Pokeball. Soul didn't have many things to do, so he decided to pack his stuff, and wait until Aqua returned back.

It didn't take long for everything that Soul had bought out to be returned back to his inventory. Having nothing else to do, Soul took out the chest artifact he got from Mt. Silver and opened it.

Opening the chest, Soul saw two ancient guns that looked like it was made from a fantasy world, wait a minute… how the heck can old civilization build a gun? Guns weren't invented until the late 1900s in this world!

Soul didn't think much of it now and took the note and read it, he had stored the others notes on the book cover.

'Hello, to you who have found this, congrats on finding one of my most interested and deadly inventions.

I called it, 'Element Type Dual Pistols,' pretty cool name eh? It's a gun that would able to shoot out different bullets, depends on what element you have chosen that is.

You can even charge it so that it would become more powerful when it fired! I have once try and charge it as much as I could and one night, I accidentally fell asleep and came to trigger it. Do you know what happened next when I woke up? The mountain I saw before was vaporized!

Luckily there were no Pokemon nearby, or else thing might have got worse, haha! I was even chased by a horde of angry Pokemon! Now that was a memory to remember!

Anyways just be careful about using it, who's know, you might accidentally destroy an entire town with it.'

Under the end of the sentence, there was a small guideline on how to use it.

Soul: 'Seriously!? Yeah… it could be useful, but also deadly. Maybe I should practice with when there's no one around and get a hang of it. That way, I could at least try and not blow up a whole mountain.'

Storing everything back, Soul called his friends back at Kanto. They all connected pretty fast as they all were asking about how he was doing. He explained to them a bit about what he was doing right now, and also asked on how and what are they doing now?

Ashley: Ah! I'm going to be a disciple of a famous chef and Pokemon trainer to Kalos after a month. Right now, I'm helping my family bakery, so I have to go now, customers keep coming. Ah! Coming! Anyways, see you all laters.

Opal: Right now I'm helping Ashley with the bakery. For what I'm planned to do next is complicated...

Soul: Complicated? And why's that?

Opal: Personal reason…

Soul: Ah… I see. Well, I hope you pick the right decision, Opal. What about you Matthew?

Matthew: Man! Me and my family are spending all day long on a hot old tomb. There's only rock and sand everywhere, and it's so boring! Soul, I can't wait to start my journey with Sandslash soon!

Soul: Well, good luck with your 'Rock finding' conquest, Matthew.

After saying goodbye to each other, Soul again waited for Aqua to come as Mew sat on his head.

Soul: 'Might as well as prepare dinner for her.'

Walking down to the kitchen, Soul inspected everything before taking a knife and several ingredients from his inventory.

He then went to cut all of them as time passed. Right when Aqua came back to her home after school, she was a bit nervous to meet with Finn again.

At, she didn't think much of him, but now seeing his Pokemon, she was a bit nervous of doing anything wrong in front of him.

Taking a deep breath, she opened the door as a majestic aroma could be smelled.

Surprised, she walked towards where the strongest scent was and saw Soul finished cooking dinner.

Aqua: Y-You cooked these dishes?

She knew it was a dumb question to ask, but she wants to confirm it from Soul, who just nodded.

Soul: Yes, also, get ready to pack up. We're leaving today.

Aqua: Eh? Now hold on a moment. Haven't I said to you yesterday that we're leaving tomorrow, and you said that you have plenty of time to spare. Why leave change your mind now?

Soul: When something very rare shows up, people intend to get it, or, if it is owned by someone else, they would try and get close to that person and get it. I don't want to deal with those peoples.

Aqua: Can I meet up with my friends before we leave?

Soul: Depends on how fast you are, so eat up.

He said as the last dish was put on the table. Aqua quickly ate the delicious food, sadly, she didn't get to enjoy it that much as she finished the early dinner and ran up to her room.

Soul quickly washed the dish off and out it back to a counter. He then went to help Aqua and made sure that she had everything with her so that they wouldn't come back to get it.

Both of them walked to the Gym, where they would say goodbye to each other.

Finishing saying goodbye, Soul, and Aqua left Blackthorn city.
