Pokémon: A New Chapter

Chapter 11: You're Welcome!

Hilbert's eyes darted through the dark cave, light shone from the entrance into the cave. Lightening it up a bit, enough for the two boys to see around them.

Leo and Swift moved around the two with ease. Swift's ears were perked up and her green eyes illuminated in the dark, the only thing that you could notice her by. Leo's body, however, was hardly recognizable and he almost was one with the shadows.

"I hope that they haven't released the girl's Pokémon yet" Cheren muttered as they strode through the cave, searching for a glint of the Team Plasma grunts.

They soon heard somebody laugh out loud, the sound vibrated through the cave like a Haxorus' roar. Swift's ears perked up and her head twisted to her right. She loud out a loud shriek and darted in the direction. Hilbert and Cheren quickly chased after the devious Pokémon.

Her goal was clear snd soon they reached a small hole in the cave's wall were two men dressed in iron hid. Their faces weren't recognizable in the dark but the metal wasn't that fit for hiding. Purrloin shrieked and lashed out but they quickly dodged her attack. The metal rattled with every movement which made both Hilbert as Swift flinch.

"I know one of you has a stolen Pokémon on them! Give it back this instant" Cheren yelled, fury dashed between the words as they left his mouth.

The plasma grunts just laugh, their body jolting violently. Swift and Hilbert both flinched again.

"The girl is not worthy of owning a Pokémon, she'll never raise it to it's full potential" one of them said. "Doesn't that make the Pokémon sad?" the other chimed in. "It's the same thing for all your Pokémon, so hand them over to us now!" the other said again.

"How does that make a Pokémon sad? Isn't it just happy to be loved?" Cheren shot back, his hands were clenched into fists. His shaking figure was visible in the dark.

Just how mad could Bianca and Cheren become?

"We'll never give you our Pokémon" Hilbert finally said, his voice was softer than Cheren but still had enough venom in it.

"Then we'll just have to take them from you" an evil smile crept across their faces and they both send out a Patrat. It's scary eyes glowed just like Swift's but they seemed to move. The yellow and red circles in their eyes were moving in a hypnotic way and Hilbert found himself getting drowsy.  His mind became engulfed in a thick mist and his eyelids felt heavy.

Swift had fallen asleep next to him, her body looked peaceful and the only thing that signaled that she was alive was the slowly rising and falling motion of her chest.

He was quickly snapped out of his drowsy-like state by Leo who viciously slammed into one of the Patrats. Henry did the same after he had almost fallen asleep and Cheren was also snapped out of his state.

"Thanks Leo and Henry!" Hilbert thanked the two Pokémon once his senses were back.

"You okay?" he heard Cheren ask him, Hilbert nodded in response.

"You okay too?" he asked him back, the raven haired boy nodded and shook his head afterwards.

He shouted an order at his Dewott who sprinted forward toward one of the two Patrats.

"Leo use vine whip!" Hilbert shouted too.

Vines appeared out of Leo's hood and wrapped themselves around the scout Pokémon. He quickly slammed the poor Pokémon against the rocky underground and the Patrat cried out in pain.
