RE: Pokemon: The Savior of the Destroyed Galaxy! Part Two: The Dimensional Door is up!
Chapter Two: The wretched island of Aveel
Adron awoke in the morning to the smell of burned grilled cheese sandwiches. He got dressed, and then, he made his way out of the tent. Braxin had made Team Heart grilled cheese sandwiches (albeit, somewhat burned), which Adron soon found were delicious. After eating, the team started to formulate a plan. Now that Adron was in charge of Team Heart, the group was all ears when he had made his plan:
"Well, team, I've decided that we should look for humans. I have a feeling that if they exist here, they would probably be somewhere near the beach," he said, noting the volcano,
"So, that will be our first action. If we want any chance of finding the legendary Pokemon, Dialga and Palkia, we need to find out what we can. If anyone knows anything about these two Pokemon, we'll find it out from the humans.". And so, Team Heart packed their tents up, and they set off along the coast of the island, searching for the humans that they hoped existed in this galaxy.
Team Heart walked along the coast for what seemed like ages. Never once, did they see any life. It was immensely discouraging. Finally, Adron turned around, and said to his team,
"It's of no use. They aren't around here. If they were, we may have found them by now. See that forest over there?", he asked the group. They turned their heads towards the massive forest that seemed to wall out the entire coast. Then, Adron continued,
"We have to try it. It's our only hope. Who's coming with me?". Team Heart looked discouraged (which was all well, as the forest was slightly intimidating), but they all agreed to go. Adron and his faithful group headed into the forest, never once looking back at the beautiful coast that were trading away for this dark forest.
The forest was immensely unnerving to anyone who set foot in it's depths. Unlike the villagers of Aveel, who were used to the startling cries of the savage Pokemon, and the massive trees blocking off the rays of the sun, Adron and Team Heart had no knowledge of this dreadful forest. If they had known of the horrors of this forest, they might not have dared set foot into it. The Aveel were armed, and the Pokemon wouldn't approach them because of the massive weapons the Aveel had to carry with themselves to pass through the forest. However, Adron and Team Heart carried no weapons. They were quite the target. All of a sudden, Adron felt a great burning sting in the side of his neck. He cried out in pain, and the rest of Team Heart screamed in horror. A snake-like Pokemon was clenching down on Adron with it's fangs, and to the terror of Team Heart, Adron fell to the ground. Cyrun acted fast, and threw a Poke Ball into the air. His Xatu cmae out from the Poke Ball, wings stretched wide. Xatu used it's Psychic powers to throw the Pokemon off Adron. Shocked, the snake Pokemon fled from the body of Adron. Cyrun and Ash rushed over to Adron, and they picked him up. What they saw next was a terrible sight:
Adron's neck, in the exact sight where he had been bitten, was now swollen. The swollen tissue throbbed, and it was warm to the touch. Adron looked pale, and he looked very distant, as if he was somewhere else instead of here.
"Adron!", screamed Ash,
"Adron, don't worry, we'll help you, somehow you'll be fine, I know it!". However, deep down, Ash knew that Adron was in mortal danger.
"I'll suck the poison out of him!", Ash exclaimed, but he was stopped by Braxin.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you.", said Braxin. Ash was stunned.
"Well, why not?", he questioned Braxin.
"Because if you do, you'll die. The poison of Ekans is immensely deadly, and in this dimension, it could even be worse. The moment you attempt to suck out the poison, it will lodge itself into your veins. It had acidic properties...", but Braxin was interrupted by Ash,
"That's a sacrifice I'll have to make!", screamed Ash. But before Ash even attempted to do so, a soft voice spoke to Team Heart,
"I can heal him.". Team Heart turned towards the voice, and they saw a boy. He had black hair, tan skin, and he looked very wretched. His skin was marked by the many tears he had shed.
"I can heal him. I have many elixirs that can do so", the boy said. Team Heart picked up Adron, and they carried him, following the boy. He took to them to a small cave. They entered the cave, and they walked for about five minutes.
"We must hurry!", exclaimed the boy, "He does not have much time left, now!". Finally, they made it to a lit room. The boy had some food, which he kept store in a basket. Near the food, a Poochyena rested. But it was to the many shelves in the cave that he went to. He pulled a green substance from the shelve, and turned to Adron, who had been set on ground. The boy gave the liquid to Adron, who drank it. Team Heart waited, and waited, and waited. Finally, the sore on Adron's neck stopped throbbing, and it started to shrink, until almost nothing was left of it. He looked very tired.
"Your friend there probably will be tired. It is not the potion itself that saves them. The potion gives them the strength to fight the poison, and nothing else.".
"How can we ever repair you?", asked Ash.
"You can't,", replied the boy, "It is my duty to help those in need.". Braxin stared at this boy. He then asked,
"What's your name?". The boy looked surprised, perhaps simply at the fact that his name had been asked.
"It is Taraketh.", the boy replied. Braxin took this in, and then asked,
"Where are your parents?". Taraleth was even more surprised than before, but he replied,
"With the villagers". Braxin was not done yet with Taraketh, though, and he asked,
"And why aren't you with them?". Taraketh started to tear up.
"Because I was banished.", Taraketh explained. He the proceeded to tell Braxin about that fateful day. He also explained how he had headed here, because this was his Grandfather's cave. He felt safe here.
"But you saved them, didn't you?", asked Braxin.
"It is no matter,", explained Taraketh,
"I betrayed them". Tears welled up in his eyes.
"Come with us," offered Braxin, "We could use your healing powers on our team. We also need to be directed to your people, as we need to find the legendary Pokemon. By the way, have you seen any?". Taraketh answered,
"No, I haven't. However, I did hear a great roar when the cracks came. That might be what you are looking for. My people may know more about that.". Then, he told them,
"As for coming with you, I would be honored to. I will take you to my people. Consider me your guide". So, Team Heart, along with the new addition to the team, Taraketh, exited the cave, and they followed Taraketh, wondering what they might find there. The Poochyena hopped up, and it followed it's master, Taraketh, towards their destination.
