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

Chapter 54 - An Unexpected and Unpleasant Encounter! (Part 1)

Izuko's POV :

Yep, thanks to Tyler, we finally found the underground cave! Although he does bully me, I still am grateful for him helping us find the secret entrance! Who knew that there would be a secret lever behind that tree?

Anyway, me and my two friends, Trevor and Flame, along with the nine others on our side, were walking through a... very, very, long flight of stairs...

"Ugh, how long is this thing...??" Aaron groaned impatiently while following us. "Be patient, Aaron! We'll be there soon, I'm sure of it!" The Glaceon who's one of Aaron's teammates tried to reassure him.

So, basically, we were walking down the stairs for a little while until something unexpected and very sudden happened... "WATCH OUT!!!" All of a sudden, Flame yelled.

"Watch out for what-" Larry asked before getting pushed by Leo, who seemed to notice what Flame was noticing, as an... arrow almost hit him!! Everyone stared at where the arrow came from before suddenly, multiple arrows were sent to our direction!!!

"Whoa!!" All of us yelped, trying to dodge and deflect every arrow. "Guys, be careful-!" Phoebe told us as we dodged and dodged every single arrow. Just as we panted and thought it was over, a smoke bomb emited from the ground, and everything was covered in smoke!!

I was looking back and forth and tried to yell. "Guys!! Are you there!?" Then, I ran around everything, quickly but carefully, just in case...! After a few moments, I suddenly bumped into two pokémon!

"Hey, watch it!"

Phoebe's POV :

I heard someone shout at other pokémon. Huh, who was it? But it didn't sound like big brother Leo, so I should be extra careful... Just then, the smoke from that smoke bomb cleared up.

After I began to see clearly again, I saw two pokémon. One of them was Izuko, the Froakie that saved my big brother, and... that Charmander... he was the one who was making fun of my brother in the Bronze Tournament...! Wait, no, he's now a Charmeleon... I guess he evolved then...

(Flashback)

"Hah, is that your team!?" I laughed at them. "They look like absolute failures, just like you!" And soon, the three of us were all laughing hard. (Also, this was Blake's POV before.)

(End of Flashback)

The three of us looked around. No, we weren't walking down what seemed like an endless flight of stairs, but now, we were seperated from the others in the middle of absolutely nowhere...!

"What!?" Then, that Charmeleon yelled and started complaining. "Why do I have to be stuck with this stupid crybaby!?" He pointed at Izuko and started yelling insults before I just got... mad...

"Hey, stop it!!" I shouted at the Charmeleon as both he and Izuko stared at me in shock. "Seriously!? We're in the middle of nowhere here, and all you do is call my brother's hero a crybaby!? How are you a team leader!?"

After I finished shouting, there was silence. The three of us were all quiet, and there was just one thing happening right now... All eyes were on me. Both of them were staring in even more shock than before, with Izuko, the Froakie's mouth slightly open.

"Ugh, why you-!!" Suddenly, that mean and rude Charmeleon used Flamthrower at me!! But luckily, Izuko managed to stop it on time with a strong Water Pulse.

"Ok, Blake!! You've gone too far!!" Izuko grunted and told off the Charmeleon who's name was apparently Blake. "You can bully me all you want, but hitting a girl!? Who in the right mind would do that!?" Then, he went up in front me and tried to protect me.

After that, Blake, the Charmeleon, got really mad! "Hey, loser! Don't try to tell me off like that!! I'm older than you, you know!?" He yelled and pushed Izuko away. "Who do you think, you are, huh!? Captain Melinda!?"

They started to argue and argue as I sighed heavily. This wasn't good, at all... How am I supposed to deal with these two...??

To be continued...

(Hi, guys! We're kicking things off once again with another new chapter! Wow, who knew that Izuko, Blake and Phoebe would be stuck together!? The other nine's fate will be told in the next chapter! Speaking of the next chapter... Let's get onto it! It will be called, "Chapter 54 - An Unexpected and Unpleasant Encounter! (Part 2)". The three continues to wander around the underground cave before...!? What did they find!? Well, find out in the next chapter! Goodbye, guys!)
