Pokémon Soul

Chapter 2 - Before

"He leav." Oshin shrugs before reaching for the pills in Daxon's hands.

"AND YOU LET HIM?!" Daxon yells and moves his hands backward so Oshin can't grab them. Oshin stares and starts to sob because she's never been yelled at before. Instantly feeling bad. Daxon picks up Oshin with one arm and tries to comfort her before looking at Oliver who was grinning cheek to cheek.

"Don't say it."

Oliver opens his mouth wider.

"I swear to fucking Arceus if you let those words linger out your bum ass virtual lips..."

"YOU'RE A DOGSHIT TRAINER AND AN AWFUL BROTHER LLLLLLLLLLL! EMBARASSING!!! COMBINING THAT WITH BEING A VIRGIN YOUR LIFE REALLY SUCKS DOESN'T IT NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH-"

"Kill yourself." Daxon yells. Oliver carries on cackling for a few minutes while Daxon frantically looks around the house.

"Maybe he's... I don't know... Outside?" Oliver says, starting to calm down and realize the situation.

"You check outside, I check inside." Daxon says, looking under EVERYWHERE for Oshawott.

"How come I have to check outside?!"

"JUST DO IT!" Daxon screeches, getting a voice crack and making Oliver start to laugh again.

"Fine. BRB." Oliver phases into the backyard, leaving a sobbing toddler, a scared teen, and a sick otter, wherever the hell he is.

"I can't do this today..." Daxon face palms himself and he continues to look around for hours and hours. Oshin was fast asleep, and no sign of Oliver finding Oshawott. He started to lose hope, and get sadder and sadder to the point tears started to form every minute he couldn't find Oshawott. But the second clock hit 11:50 and Oliver came back.

"I-I FOUND HIM!" Oliver yells to Daxon. Daxon grows a large smile on his face until he saw Oshawott's parents standing behind Oliver.

"What's going on?"

"You need to come. NOW."  Oliver pushes Daxon outside. The night felt ominous. It felt especially dark. Like something really bad was happening right now. Daxon tried to shake off the feeling as he was led to where Oshawott was. But each step made him feel more and more scared. Each cracking grass made him more and more terrified. It was spring, but it felt like something... SOMEONE wilted or even burnt all the grass leading up to Oshawott. Something weird was going on. Thoughts ran through Daxon's head, and he hid his full panic mode until he finally made it to Oshawott... Lying down.

Fainted?
Unconscious?
DEAD?!

Oshawott slowly opened his eyes.

Sleeping..?

There's a rustling in the trees...

STOLEN?!

Oshawott's dad unsheathes his sword and points it at the tree while Oshawott's mom slowly walks towards Oshawott, aiming to pick him up. The rustling starts to get louder and louder Daxon and Oliver start to get more and more afraid.

"PACHIII!!!" A small squirrel pokémon with a long blue streak of fur and yellow cheeks jumps out of the tree majestically, yet... fearfully. it then turns around to see Daxon and everyone else staring at it, ready to fight. It gets even more scared and runs away into the bushes and rubble.

Daxon's mind starts to race even more. Rubble? Why is there rubble? This combined with the weird track... Something weird is going on... He starts to look around frantically, seeming to anticipate something.

"Oliver, why'd you want me to come anyway?" Daxon inquires, putting his hand on the back of his head and getting more nervous each second.

"Cause Oshawott's parents wouldn't believe me when I said something was off..."

"So you just left him alone to get me..?

"No... I brought frogadier with me. I told her to watch Oshawott."

"And where is she right now?"

Oliver blankly looks around. He originally thought the rustling in the trees was frogadier. But there's no sign of it anywhere. He looks back at Daxon and pops up a shrugging emoticon. Daxon looked behind Oliver to see if Oshawott was okay.

11:55 AM

Both Samurotts are nowhere to be found.

"UHHHH.... WHERE THE FUCK ARE OSHAWOTT'S PARENTS?!" Daxon exclaims. Oliver starts to look around, it's like they completely disappeared. He looks at the ground and sees a burning trail in the grass leading back to where they came from.

"SOMETHING FUCKED IS SERIOUSLY GOING ON. LET'S JUST TAKE OSHAWOTT AND DIP." Oliver whispers, scared that whatever was doing this would come for them next. Daxon runs over to grab Oshawott, but the odd feeling comes back even stronger.

"DAXON WATCH OUT!" Oliver zaps to Daxon at lightspeed and tackles him to the ground.

"The fuck was that for?!" Daxon scowls, shutting his eyes and holding his head in pain. He opens his eyes, and fear washes over him.
