The Rise of a Hero (A Greninja Story) (Vol.2 - Broken Bonds...)

Chapter 53 - The Mysteries of the Underground Cave!

The next day...

Trevor's POV :

I yawned and woke up, stretching my arms and legs for a new day! Today was the day me and my other eight friends, along with the bullies of course, go to the underground cave!

"GOOD MORNING, POKÉMON!!!" Larry suddenly jumped up and shouted. Me and everyone else yelped in shock as some of us glared at Larry. Arceus, that Oshawott is so energetic...

"Larry...!!" Leo growled in anger and stood up, walking towards Larry until he was in front of him. He gulped and shivered in fear. "Uh... Sorry about that!!" Larry apologised. "I was just waking you guys up because... well, we're in a mission, you know...?"

Leo groaned in frustration. "Ugh, fine... But only because we are in a mission now!" And after a few complaints, we all ate some berries as breakfast and set off to the underground cave!

Later...

Tyler's POV (Yes, give him some screentime-) :

So, me and my friends were on a mission from Captain Melinda to find some underground cave. Well, with nine losers... "Pfft," I heard Blake and Lance snickering. Then, Lance went up to me.

"We have to be in a mission with these crybabies!? Hah, I'm worried that we're gonna break our backs from carrying the team too much!" Lance said as my two teammates were laughing while some others were staring at us, but I didn't join them.

It was because of Blake's joke to Izuko, that crybaby Froakie, about his... dead mom... Yes, I still call him a loser or a crybaby, but it was honestly a bit too far... But, whatever...

Well, anyway, we continued walking and Flame, that loser Fletchling, that was somehow faster than Blake, flew in the sky, trying to keep a lookout.

"Hey, Flame! Have you seen anything yet?" Trevor the Grovyle and that crybaby's best friend called the Fletchling. "Nope, I feel like we're getting closer though!" He replied. Wow, amazing help...

After walking non-stop for about an hour, we finally arrived at what was supposed to be the cave's coordinates. But... "Where the heck is it?" Everyone questioned, looking around.

Yes, we have arrived at where Captain Melinda asked us to go to, but none of us see an underground cave anywhere. And everyone started looking for it, but to no avail.

"I'm starting to think that we went to the wrong direction..." The Fennekin and the Oshawott muttered. The Rockruff, Aaron, decided to try using his strong sense of smell, but unsurprisingly, it didn't really help.

We were all thinking of what to do when I forgot... I'm a Litten! That means I'm a cat, and cats usually have keen eyesight! So I ran away from the team and looked everywhere as everyone was questioning what I was doing, from the looks of it.

I was searching and searching before... "Aha!" I cried and grinned as I found a secret lever hiding behind a tree! "Guys, I found it!" I said as I flipped the lever, and a secret path opened up! I knew I was best...!

Everyone saw it and some started thanking me while others just ignored it and walked down the secret path, which were actually stairs that lead underground. Well, it is called an underground cave for a reason...

But anyway, all of us walked down the flight of stairs, ready of what might be coming up for us...!

To be continued...
