Pokémon: Indigo League (On Hold)

EP 27: Dig Those Diglett!

♧♧♧♧♧

Several months have past, since Aura has started her Pokémon Journey. She has discovered lots of adventures and made good friends. Now, the group find themselves somewhere hidden in the mountains.

♧♧♧♧♧

Right now, the group was just strolling down a path in the middle of a forest. There were a few mountains up ahead, but they were just enjoying their nature walk.

"We sure have travelled a long way." Cilan commented, breaking the silence.

"Yeah." Alain agreed.

"We've seen tons of places!" Mairin smiled.

"I wonder where we should go now." Zoey wondered.

Jin popped his head out of Zephyrina's cloud wings. "That's easy!" He exclaimed, making all heads turn to him. "We have to go to the next Gym, so we can get another Badge!"

Steven took out his PokéNav and looked at the map. "Well, Fuchsia Gym isn't too far from here." He mentioned.

"Where is it?" Zoey asked.

"Over the mountain."

"Uh..." The group looked ahead to see multiple mountains.

"Uh... Steven, over which mountain?" Zoey asked, again.

Cilan took the PokéNav. "The map says the Fuchsia Gym's on the other side of one of those mountains right over there." He read, pointing to one of the mountains on the screen. "Is it this way?" Then another. "Or that way?"

Everyone gathered around the Connoisseur.

"Or maybe it's that way?" Cilan groaned. "Oh, great..." He grumbled, his finger flying all over like a broken compass. "We're surrounded by mountains on every side!"

Mairin and the Pokémon anime collapsed.

Zoey groaned. "Don't tell me we're lost again." She complained.

"Okay, I won't tell you." Cilan curtly responded.

"We're definitely lost." Jin deadpanned.

"Here we go again." Jun sighed.

Alain looked at the map and noticed something. "Wait a minute, it looks like there's road here." He said, pointing at a section.

Jin perked up. "Well, let's hit it!" He shouted, happily.

Then a faint groan cuts in.

Everyone flinched.

Jun slapped her paws over her brother's mouth. "Ssshhh!! Keep it down!" She hissed and looked behind her.

Laying on Zephyrina's back was none other than Aura.

But she's asleep.

The girl had been showing signs of insomnia lately, due to intense training. Now, her limbs were all sore beyond mobile, she's tired all the time and hardly had the will to eat. As worrying as it is, Aura insisted that she was fine and saying it wasn't the first time it happened. Steven claimed her story as one of her medications makes her rather drowsy, when she's in this state.

With only words for reassurance, they continued on the road.

Everyone stared at the sleeping girl, anxious and hoped she wouldn't wake up.
