A New Adventure

Chapter 8

Sean awakens from a deep slumber to the sound of a faint roar

"What in Arceus' name was that..?" He wonders

Quietly grabbing a hoodie and his pokeballs, he sneaks out the room and out the hotel doors

Walking towards the forest beside the hotel, the faint roar sounds closer to Sean and he starts creeping towards the sound

Peaking through a bush he spots a metal trap with sharp edges, clamping down on Pokémon's foot. The foot is bleeding and little roars come from the Pokémon in pain

"Great Scott... I have to help them" Sean whispers

As Sean slowly creeps up towards the captured Pokémon, it turns and snaps at him

"Hey... it's ok little one, I got you" he says with a gentle smile

The growling ceases as the Pokémon's hostility vanishes

Sean pries the jaws of the trap open so the Pokémon can escape

To his surprise the Pokémon doesn't run off immediately, instead it limps towards Sean looking exhausted

Sean catches the Pokémon before the Pokémon collapses

"Hey hey, I got you bud" Sean whispers

Sean leans up against a tree holding the wounded Pokémon close to his chest

"I got you..." he whispers again slowly drifting to sleep

The morning sun rises and Sean awakens with dried blood on his sweat pants but no injured Pokémon in sight

"Shit..." he grumbles

Sean walks back to the hotel to get breakfast

"Holy Shit! Sean! Oh my Arceus!" Corey yells running at him wrapping him in a hug

"Where have you been!? Mike came to my door saying you weren't in the room!" She goes on, letting him go

"Corey I'm-" he starts to say

"Why is there blood on your pants!? What happened?!" Corey cries flailing her arms

"Corey, let him talk" Boots says holding her shoulders

"I heard something outside the hotel, did some exploring and found a Pokémon in trouble. It was caught in a trap and I saved it" Sean says with a yawn

"What Pokémon?" Mike asks

"Not sure, didn't look familiar" Sean yawns again

"Describe it" Mike says handing Sean a cup of hot cocoa

"Brown, toughened skin, large head, stubby arms and spiky" Sean says taking a sip of his hot cocoa

"Hm... nothing is coming to mind" Boots says

"I need food, scoot" Sean says tapping Corey on the shoulder for her to move

Sean grabs a plate of blueberry waffles with bacon and a cup of syrup

"I'm telling you Mike, I've never seen a Pokemon like this one" Sean explains, taking a bite of his waffle

"This is a new discovery, we could be a part of a discovery of a brand new Pokemon" Mike says tapping his head with a pen

"That or we're walking into something someone doesn't want us to mess with" Boots says holding his fork up

"It's a trap!" Corey blurts out  "Sorry, silly reference and I had to"  She then continues to eat her waffles
