Nature followed Aqua, padding out of the ship.
"Sooooo," Nature leaped down, landing on the sand but her paw slipped, making her fall face first getting her head stuck in the sand. "I THINK I DID SOMETHING WRONG..."
Aqua seemed half amused, half annoyed. "Maybe..." she grabbed Nature's leg with her tail and pulled her out of the ground. "You really need to be less... Whatever you are..."
Nature crossed eyes and put her paw to her forehead like a salute. "As you wish General!"
Aqua put her tail over her eyes. "Oh brother..." she took it off. "Anyways... last time I saw the others-"
"WAIT." Nature stopped her.
"What now, Nature?" Aqua sighed.
"THERE OTHERS? AS IN PLURAL? STAR ISNT LONELY???" Nature gasped.
Aqua raised one eye brow, annoyed for sure this time. "Yes there is others..."
"HOW MANNNNYYYY???"
"Well... there's Cross, Kim, Lucas, Star, Blossom, Blade, that are mainly there... sometimes a few others will be.."
Nature blinked. "STAR HAS THREE FRIENDS??? NO WAY!"
Aqua face palmed with her tail. "That isn't even three..." she moaned. "Forget it... we need to head out."
"Mkkkkk but where do we goooo?" Nature asked.
Aqua pointed with her tail to the entrance of a long cave, it's dark shadows making it look as if it went on forever. "That leads to Sky Forest, where they live. It's what I use when I can't travel through ocean."
"SKY FOREST???"
"Yes."
"IS IT A FOREST IN THE SKY??? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE??? DID ARCUES USE MAGIC ON IT OR SOMETHING???" Nature said bewildered.
Aqua frowned. "Can you stop being like that for once?"
"NURP! I dunno why." Nature replied with a derp face.
Aqua lashed her tail. "Just... just follow me..."
"ALRIGHTY!" Nature sprang to her paws and padded into the cave with Aqua. Nature's fur pressed against the cave as it tightened into a tunnel, the soft brushing seemed to echo softly through the tunnel. Nature blinked, having an idea. "ECHO!" She shouted loudly. The echo burst through the tunnel.
Nature gasped. "OML..."
Aqua threw her tail over Nature's mouth. "Nature! You could've just told any enemy here right where we are!"
Nature shook her head, clearing Aqua's tail. "Wowsers. You really sound like Star when you say that, bruh."
Aqua didn't listen to her and looked around. "I don't think anyone heard you... I don't see how..." she looked towards the direction they were heading.
Nature follows her gaze, seeing a tiny piece of sunlight, saying they would be out of here before long. Nature lashed her tail. "Let's gooooo!"
Aqua flicked her tail. "Be patient dang it..." she slithered onwards.
Soon the walls of stone pressing against Nature faded as the tunnel grew wider and they got closer.
We're almost thereeee! Nature thought. I wonder if Star has changed any. Maybeeeee. It'll be fun if he did. Yet, if he didn't. I wouldn't get to annoy him. GAH WHAT IS LIFE!
Nature banged her head against the wall clearing the thoughts, getting a bruise on her head. "OW!"
Aqua sighed and grabbed her with her tail. "NATURE FOR THE SAKE OF ARCUES IVE BEEN YELLING AT YOU FOR THE PAST FIVE MINUTES SAYING WE ARE AT THE END OF THE FREAKING CAVE GOSH DANG IT!"
Nature slapped Aqua. "Be patient dang it!" She said in a voice sounding like Aqua.
Aqua face palmed again and threw her out with her tail then slithered after her.
Nature leaped back to her paws. "THATS NOT VERY NICE."
Aqua rolled her eyes. "Mhm..." she paused. "Wait...did you hear that?"
"Hear wut?" Nature flicked her ear.
"Listen..."
Nature crossed eyes. "WHATEVER YOU SAY THEN?" She pricked her ears.
A twig snapped, and others followed, making soft breaking noises.
The breaking moved towards them.
Aqua snarled and shot a water pulse where it was coming from, and at the same time a net flew at her. Aqua blinked and ducked, but it was to late, the net tangled over her. Aqua grunted. "Nature!-"
Before she could say anything, a net launched at Nature and tangled her up. Nature sat up despite the net. "Yikes! Never thought I'd be in this situation! Speaking of which, I never expected to see Aqua want me to run away so she could save me." Nature smirked.
Aqua's tail lashed in the net. "Nature, you really don't want to push it."
Nature threw her paws up in the air. "WHAT IF I DO??? WHAT IF-" she cut off as three figures walked out of the shadows. Two humans, in uniforms, one male with light purple hair, and a female, with long pink hair. In front of them was a Meowth.
Nature blinked. "OH. UNIFORMS. YUP THEY ARE EVIL."
"Wha?" Aqua looked at her.
"Uh like duh." Nature derp faced. "Haven't you seen horror movies??? Any person in uniform is evil."
Aqua grunted, but didn't reply. The Meowth took a step forward. "Enough of your gibber jabber!" Looks at the humans. "It's time for our interdiction!"
The boy did some sort of pose. "Prepare for trouble-"
Aqua pointed her tail to the boy. "James." She turned it to the girl. "Jessie. And little annoying Meowth."
"WHO YOU CALLING LITTLE???" Meowth snarled.
"HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT BEFORE I EVEN SPEAK??!" Jessie yelled.
Nature stuck her tongue out. "Deal with da sassy Aqua!"
Aqua narrowed her eyes at her. "Don't make me come over there..."
"SOWWY!" Nature stopped.
"UGH FORGET IT! I WANT THOSE POKEMON AND I WANT THEM RIGHT NOW!" Jessie stomped her foot impatiently.
"Alright..." James pulled out some sort of device Nature didn't recognize. He pointed it at Nature. "Prepare for trouble!" He shouted.
"Make that double!" Meowth added.
Aqua laughed. "Awww the rhymes. You guys are adorable."
Nature covered her mouth. "BOI! SHE WENT THERE!"
James blinked. "Meowth, translation."
"They said we are adorable." Meowth winked at Aqua. "I think she has a case of the crushies."
Aqua snarled and shot a water ball through the net. "LET ME AT HIM!!!"
"FORGET IT! JAMES! FIRE!" Jessie looked at him.
James nodded. "Right!" He pointed the device back to them. He held it up in Nature's direction and fired. Nature blinked, waiting for pain. But none came. Nature tilted her head.
James blinked, more stunned then Nature. "Impossible... I worked so hard..." he fired again.
Nature stared at it, a figure moved by quickly and the bullet disappeared. James narrowed his eyes and fired again, only to have to figure swoop in again, but this time caught the bullet and stayed in front of James, Nature identified a Lucario.
"Wow...some attempt I must say..." the Lucario crushed the bullet and threw it to the side, James let out a cry of dismay.
A serpiror slithered out of the bushes, tail lashing. "Team Rocket..." she snarled. "Kim! Where are you?!"
A delacatty padded to her side, glaring at Team Rocket. "Don't worry I'm right here..."
"UM.. GUYS.. ITS THEM AGAIN..." Meowth blinked.
"RU-" Jessie started but got shot with Jessie and James by a blue ball of Aura and a vine, smacking them into the air, disappearing...
