Part 27. Reunited.

It felt like it had been years now, but Fletcher knew he had only been walking through the trees for roughly half a day. Finally, he came upon a vast clearing, which was filled by a rather large castle made out of a type of black stone. The castle was crudely made, with chunks missing from the turrets, and windows almost haphazardly carved, revealing white and red walls inside.
"Is this it?" He mumbled to himself, before looking round for any sign of Red, but before he could, he was tackled to the ground by something large and black. "Wh-what the hell!?"
"Get off him, Terror." That voice...as soon as Fletcher heard it, he struggled to get the now larger Terror off of him, before locking eyes with Red.
"Red! You're okay!"
"No shit, Sherlock." Once Terror had finally gotten off of Fletcher, Red held out her hand and Fletcher grabbed it, being pulled up by the redhead.
"I was so worried...I thought you had died or something."
"Relax, Fletcher, or you'll start sounding like you're in love with me or something." Red chuckled slightly, before walking over to a rather suspicious pile of bushes. "Hey Sil! Fletcher found us!" Red shouted before kicking the bushes, which rustled in response before Silver appeared behind them, looking absolutely livid.
"What the fuck, Red!? Why did you kick me!?" Silver's eyes were blazing.
"Because Fletcher's back, you dumbass!" Red retaliated, looking equally as angry. While the two redheads started shouting a whole manner of profanities at each other, Fletcher sighed, glad to see Red alive and well, but also making a mental note of something.
"Never get on her bad side..." He hadn't realised that he had said it out loud until Terror faintly growled at him, the Dark type's new horns making him look a lot more menacing. Fletcher slowly took a large step away from the growling dog Pokémon.

It was then that Fletcher noticed a couple of tents pitched not far behind Silver, and his suspicions were confirmed. "This is it...we're finally here..."
