Chapter 5
Lena P.O.V
Aldo and I had been walking around for about five minutes since entering the Bellsprout Tower, it looked like it did in the game, kinda empty but it had lots of different passages unlike the game. There was also too many dead ends to count, and the pokemon were mostly rattatas and bellsprouts.
"Lena...?" Aldo whispered
"Hmm?" I said, looking at the path we were on, we were still on the first floor. The inside of the tower is pretty big, a lot bigger than it looks outside.
"When do you think that guy will stop following us. I can't really say anything if he keeps watching and glaring at me." he asked, looking a bit annoyed. I knew who he was talking about, I did notice Gold following us, but ignored him. Yes I'm kinda messed up for that but he was late.
I sighed and stopped walking putting both of my hands on my hips, "Okay fine. Hey Gold! could you stop following us and just catch up please! Could you also stop glaring at Puppy?" I asked not looking behind me. That's when i heard a pair of footsteps, that I knew belonged to Gold stopped for a moment then started walking towards me and Aldo who had stopped when I stopped.
"I wasn't following you two. I'm not a stalker. Wait, I'm not glaring at that guy." he said as both Aldo and I did something I never thought was possible, we both sweatdropped.
"Uhhh we never called you a stalker." Aldo pointed out
"...." Gold replied realizing he called himself a stalker, this was the Gold I recognized from the game.
"Anyways," I said trying to make the awkwardness in the room go away, "Gold this is Aldo AKA Puppy" I introduced Gold to Aldo
"Perverted Puppy" I heard Aldo muttered under his breath, and noticed that Gold gave him a weird look.
"Puppy, this is Gold" I said introducing Aldo to Gold.
"I know him." they both said at the same time, glaring at each other.
"Seriously. Well then, can we all just train here? I wanna get ready for a gym battle tomorrow, then get to the next town." I told them both looking at both of them in the eye, tapping my right foot inpaciently.
"Fine." Both said at the same time and both went on the opposite sides of me, with Gold on my left side and Aldo on the right.Then we began to walk.
"So... how do you two know each other?" Gold asked, not looking at me or Aldo, but around the area, I suspect that he was watching out for any pokemon.
"Well..." I started to say when Aldo interrupted.
"I know her from grade school, but she had moved to a different foster family and I didn't see her again until yesterday, so we talked, and caught up on stuff." Aldo explained, telling a lie but it was also the truth in a way.
"Yeah, What about you two?" I asked them before Gold could ask anything else.
"School." Gold replied.
"Yeah, school." Aldo said, looking away.
"Okay..." I said, this was obviously not breaking the awkward silence here.
"Over here" I hear a beautiful voice whisper in a not so far distance, I automatically stop walking and look around.
After a few steps forward that Aldo and Gold had taken, they noticed that I stopped walking and turned around.
"Hey you okay?" Aldo asked sounding a bit confused at my sudden stop.
"Yeah Lena, why did you stop walking?" Gold asked, worried.
"You guys didn't hear that?" I asked them, even though it was a whisper I had heard it clearly. Both of them gave me a confused look.
"What do you mean Len, I didn't hear a thing. It's as quiet as death in here." Aldo said, looking at me.
"I hate to agree with him, but I didn't hear anything either." Gold said nodding his head with his eyes closed, and after opened his eyes.
"Really.. but.." I was saying then I heard something again
"Over here, over here. Come over chosen one. It's time to play, time to play, time to prove that the time has come for your destiny to begin. Step by step your story begins, be prepared for what is to come ahead." the voice said in a softly melody, it felt close, yet far. That's when I saw something I didn't noice before, it was a path, but it was different than the others I had a feeling that I was the only one who could see it.
"You what, let's split up. I'll go this way, you two go try out the other paths." I said
"Sure." Aldo said walking away quickly and was soon gone.
"You sure, you're a kid Lena usually pokemon trainers are older than you, you shouldn't be alone." Gold said looking at me.
"I'm fine, and which don't you trust Elm? He was the one who gave me my pokemon and he's.. my father." i told him, though he didn't look so convinced.
"Alright, just meet back here in an hour alright, you're still a kid no matter what." he said walking away.
"Yeah an hour!" I yelled as he left, it's ironic that he treats me like a kid when I'm the same age as him.
I looked back at the path, I knew I had to go through this way. I followed it, battled a few pokemon, the same type as before. I actually found the second floor, and it was exactly like the video game, so were the rest of the floors. Then I reached the last floor, seeing no one on the floor, it felt abandoned.
"Anyone up here?" I asked out loud, not expect anything to reply, I walked pass a huge pillar and walking into an empty area.
"Your story begins, step by step you progress, everything that you believed you knew are lies what you see here is real. Chosen one you must protect this world, and shape it's future for it is your destiny and the reason you were born." The voice echoed.
"Wait, chosen one? Shape the future? I just wanna go back home!" I told the voice
"Chosen one, you are home. You will find the truth throughout your journey, every choice you make will have an impact on others. Step forward, step forward, get ready to battle this test will prove if you are ready for the danger that lies ahead."
"Danger? This is pokemon what can be dangerous?" I yelled but suddenly my legs started to walk towards the center of the room, like if they had a mind of their own, my whole body responded walking stopping once I was in the center.
"Let the test begin... Chosen one." The voice said as the room suddenly turned pitch black, then the lights somehow came back on, and there was a pokemon, ready for battle and it was...
"Eevee?" I asked,I felt like I had a connection with this pokemon.
"Chosen one, you must fight me. Do not think of me as the Eevee you trained in the game. This is your test." The Eevee replied, I knew that Eevee wasn't the voice that lead me here, but was my test.
"Got it." I said, as Chikorita who was following me the entire time stepped in front of me.
Eevee, however began the battle automatically charging towards Chikorita, and Bit him, Chikorita cried out in pain.
"Chikorita!" I yelled shocked.
"I'm fine!" Chikorita replied. shaking Eevee off of him.
"I'm not the same Eevee you knew." Eevee replied, beginning to use quick attack. as Chikorita dodged in time to avoid the attack and used Razor leaf on Eevee, causing her to get hurt a bit.
I hated to see them fight, it didn't feel right at all.
Chikorita tackled Eevee who dodged, and automatically growled at Chikorita and used shadow ball on Chikorita who got hit near his hip and cried out, falling down on the floor, and automatically started to get up. Chikorita struggled a bit mostly dodging Eevee's vicious attacks, cause some minor damage to Eevee.
"Chikorita, are you okay?" I cried out, I didn't want them to fight, Chikorita looked like he would faint any minute, since the battle had gone on for a while.
"I-i'm fine." Chikorita said exhausted, attacking Eevee with razor leaf again. Eevee had been trying to attack Chikorita again and got hit by the leafs.
I ran to Chikorita and Eevee and shouted at them, "Enough! I don't care if this is a test. I can stand to see you both fight like this. I don't care if I fail, just don't fight!" I started taking out potions using them on both of them.
"Chosen one........ you have passed the test." the voice spoke, I knew it wasn't Eevee.
"I said I don't care." I replied after using potions and hugged both Eevee and Chikorita.
"You know when to fight, that is why you passed. Since the battle is over, you shall receive a gift, a gift. Once you receive it, you will be transported back to the first floor, but remember this. The next time you reach the top of this tower, it will not be as it was before." the voice spoke, then suddenly i felt as if a presence that was there watching me left.
"The voice... it left" Eevee said out loud, blinking her eyes.
"Yeah, hey look." Chikorita said picking up something with his mouth and placed it in the palm of my hand, it was a black pokeball.
"Hey you forgot this," Eevee said picking up another object from the floor, it was another pokeball, it was also black, but it felt heavier.
"Maybe..." I said and used the lighter black pokeball and pointed it at Eevee. "Return!" I said and a red beam came out and absorbed her.
"I guess I get to keep Eevee... but how did Eevee even get here, and why is she so... serious?" i asked Chikorita shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know, I don't remember her acting like that." Chikorita replied looking at Eevee's black pokeball that was in my hand.
"So.. who's in here then?" i asked,putting Chikorita in my backpack gently, then looking at the second pokeball. Then I threw the pokeball in the air, a red beam came out forming a shape of a pokemon.
"Vulpix?" I said looking at the Vulpix in front of me.
"Hello, are you Lena? You're the chosen one, well nice to meet you. Can I go back into my pokeball, those were all the gifts." the Vulpix replied, and I knew she was a female.
"Sure..." I said awkwardly as I returned her to the pokeball. and put her in my bag.
"Wait so how are we going to be transported?" I asked, then noticed the room started spinning and I started to get dizzy.
"Wait, what's happening.." I said looking for Chikorita and noticed him laying on the floor knocked out, and I started to walk towards him, and stumbled falling to the floor close to Chikorita. I started to crawl towards him, but I felt life my energy was quick leaving me, and when I finally got to Chikorita a hugged him, then I passed out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aldo P.O.V
That stupid Ethan! Seriously I hate that guy he's just annoying. Ethan is Gold, technically Both are his name, but he uses Gold more.
How do I know Gold? Well we met at school, you wrong time wrong place? Well some guys were trying to beat me up for something I said, so I beat them up. Apparently Gold saw the ending of that fight and misunderstood what happened. Either way I got known as a trouble maker. Then the only people who I get along with are guys that look a bit scary, but they're not bad. So when ever we talk we usually end up fighting or glaring at each other.
"Aldo!" I hear his annoying voice behind me.
"What do you want Ethan." I said calling him by his other name.
"It's Gold. And I told Lena to meet up with me, but she didn't. It's been about three hours since we went onto different paths." he said worried.
"Lena can handle herself, she isn't a little kid." I said but I didn't notice my mistake.
"What do you mean?! She's like ten, you know people don't become pokemon trainer that young its rare." He yelled at me. I automatically stopped walking noticing that I had made a mistake, forgetting that she was in her 10 year old version of herself.
"Fine, lets go look for her." I told him, I was worried about her. I mean I never found out how she got here, or why she's even here.
We ended up walking around for about half an hour, Gold kept calling out her name, while I looked at the different paths. I got tired, and took out my pokeball, and took out my other pokemon I had, it was Haunter.
"Haunter, Look for my friend Lena alright, don't lick her got it." i said looking at Hunter straight in his eyes keeping a serious face, he just nodded his head and disappeared.
"You sent your Haunter to look for her, can you even trust him! Does he even know what she looks like?" Gold said shocked.
"Don't worry, and he does." I replied and looked off where Haunter disappeared, I know he won't try to steal her life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Haunter P.O.V
My trainer told me to look for a girl, Elena is her full name, but he called her "Lena". I have been to the huma world before so I knew how she would look like. I had went with Aldo many times as a child and even now I still go with him, of course no humans could see me, only Aldo.
I decided to search for any signs of life, I could feel Aldo's, and the trainer,Gold or Ethan as Aldo called him, but then I sensed a presence, it was powerful and it was watching me, then it left. Suddenly I felt a new sign of life close by and followed it.
I soon found a girl, about Aldo's age on the floor, her brown hair covering her face, but she had a black backpack on, and was hugging something tightly, I could tell it was a pokemon who loved her very much.
I smiled, a victim, a new life to be taken. I reached out my hands moving her hair out the way, I smiled, no smirked, as I had my tongue ready to lick her face, to paralyze her by making her shake and tremble to death, but my eyes widen. It was Lena, I found her her life force, it was strange not like any trainer I have seen. Something is strange about her. I didn't lick her, since Aldo said not to.
I sighed disappointed that I couldn't get a life, and I quickly looked for Aldo, and when I followed him, I made a hand motion for him to follow and he did, so did the other trainer. Quickly we reached her, and I was returned to my pokeball, in darkness to rest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aldo P.O.V
I was still looking for Lena with the annoying Gold who had started to panic, worried about her, which is kinda weird. He must think of her as a little sister he never had. Then I saw Haunter making a hand motion to follow him, so I did, but Gold did to, eventually we reached Lena, only thing was she wasn't a kid anymore.
"Lena!" I said running over to her and started to shake her, she was knocked out cold.
"Lena? But that girl is our age? Lena is like 10." Gold stated confused.
"I really don't know, but it's her. Come on wake up. Oh Haunter return." I said returning him into his pokeball, then I noticed she was hugging something, and opened up her arms, it was Chikorita so I woke him, up.
"Chikorita, could you help me wake her up?" I asked knowing he couldn't answer back. Chikorita luckily understood an started to jump on Lena attempting to wake her up.
"Ahhh!" Lena screamed out, automatically sitting up, making Chikorita fall off of her.
"Finally you woke up sleeping beauty," I said then realized something, I forgot how she looked like as my age, so when I saw her I kinda felt like my Jaw should have dropped.
No I'm not checking her out, we're friends, but if I were some other guy well. She'd would be smoking hot. Yeah awkward moment....
Lena P.O.V
"Huh" I said looking at Aldo who was looking at me, not like a normal look, as if he was checking me out. The hell. I'm freaken ten at the moment... wait a minute... I have boobs nooooooo! THEY'RE BACK!
"What happened!?" I asked confused, noticing that I was in my sixteen year old body
"Well we just found you were passed out, and now you're 16 again." Aldo stated
"Wait you're 16? I thought you were 10!" Gold said kinda lost.
"I never said my age. Yes i'm 16 I'm just awesome at changing my appearance into a little kid." I told him, and he sighed in relief
"Oh okay." he said believing in what I said.
"You know what, lets just leave please. Maybe we should come back tomorrow?" I said
"sure, we're the exit?" he asked
"Over there." I pointed towards an exit sign that wasn't too far away.
"How did that get there?" Gold asked.
"Who knows, lets just go." I said walking out as Chikorita followed me, so did Gold and Aldo.
So why did I change back to my 16 year old form? Why did I get two pokemon as a prize. Who is that weird voice, and why are they calling me the Chosen One? wait.... where are the flying neon tacos.
