Ten

A Chapter by Imagination-mage

Kit led them out of the forest, darkrai retreating back inside his pokeball and remaining in there to get some much needed rest. They came to a cabin and Kit knocked three times on the door.

“Password.” A plain voice said immediately.

“Oración.” Kit replied and the door opened for them. They were rushed inside, finding two boys inside. One boy was looking at a laptop screen, having short black hair with his bangs long on the sides, a long cow lick on his head, wearing glasses and a blue jacket, a white shirt and long black pants and blue shoes. The other having long green fluffy hair that was tied in a loose pony tail, a baggy ball cap wearing a white elbow length sleeved shirt and black pants, a wristband on his wrist and dark shoes.

“N, Cheren, any news?” Kit asked.

“Sadly not, we don’t have any leads.” Cheren said, he took off his glasses and massaged his temples. “N, got anything?”

“No, Kit who’re these people?” N, the green headed boy, asked.

“Oh well this girl is Harmony and you remember Dent right?” Kit explained. “I don’t know the other two.”

“I’m Satoshi, and this is my partner pikachu.” Satoshi said.

“I’m Iris and my Pokemon kibago.” Iris said, her kibago greeting them. “What’re you guys doing?”

“Keeping track of Team Rocket, N was capable of infiltrating Team Rocket to find any information on Tyki’s whereabouts.” Cheren said, N waving kindly towards them. He had a choroneko happily resting on his shoulder. He scratched it under its chin and it purred lovingly.

“So you guys are looking for Tyki too?” Harmony asked.

“Yes, everyone that her mother and father know-” Cheren said before he was interrupted.

“That Tyki is currently missing.” N finished. “Team Rocket is very interested in her.”

“We just don’t know why.” Cheren said. “Did you get any sighting of her?”

“Nope, but I found someone who can help us.” Kit said and presented Tamaki who gleefully hoped aboard N’s shoulder and licked his cheek making him giggle.

“Tamaki, your okay!” N said happily. “We were so worried about you?”

His choroneko meowed, cuddling into Tamaki who returned the gesture.

“She has all of Tyki’s Pokemon and bags so we can run a DNA scan or something.” Kit said.

“Yeah, only problem is that we don’t have that type of technology.” Cheren said bluntly. “I’m not a genius ya know.”

“Tamaki can still lead us to Tyki.” N said and turned to Tamaki. “Can’t you Tama-chan?”

“Tama-chan?” Harmony asked.

“I gave her that nickname and Tyki just picked it up.” N explained. “Now we just need her to lead us to her trainer.”

“We’ve discovered actually that she’s in the White Forest.” Dent said, the three trainers looking at him in disbelief.

“What?!” Kit asked, completely shocked. “S-She can’t be in there!”

“Tamaki says she is.” Iris said.

N looked at Tamaki skeptically and asked “Tama-chan I know you’ve been literally dying to go to that place, you’re not pulling strings now are you?”

Tamaki nodded, crossing her heart to prove it. N sighed and said “Supposedly she is. This is a problem in deed.”

“You’re telling me!” Cheren said. “That place is a trainers paradise almost, except for the fact that the Pokemon living there are savage beasts that hate to be disturbed. I wouldn’t be shocked if Tyki was mauled.”

Tamaki shock her head, soon screaming “Pika, pika pi, pika, pikachu!”

The trainers looked at her blankly, Kit soon saying “Tamaki, you know we can’t understand you.”

“I know someone who can.” Harmony said, taking a pokeball from the gold belt and opening it, darkrai appearing before them. It looked around, seeing three more familiar faces.

Kit, you’ve grown. Darkrai said.

“Aw darkrai, you’re such gentlemen.” Kit said, and then went straight to business. “Darkrai, we need to translate for us.”

Darkrai turned to Tamaki; Tamaki explained everything in a rather panicky voice. Once she was finished, she had wiped herself out nearly falling over but pikachu and raichu caught her. Darkrai turned to the trainers and replied She is saying ‘My trainer is sleeping under a pile of rock and branches. She is protected by a green barrier that the Great One placed upon her when she broke several bones. Sh is sleeping as the healing processes.’ I’m very worried.

“We all are darkrai.” Kit said and patted him on the head. “Thank you, you can return to sleep.”

Thank you. Darkrai replied and returned inside his pokeball. Tamaki looked equally worried about her trainer, pikachu patting her on the arm to show some sign of comfort.

“Guess we’re heading to the White Forest then.” Kit said. “That’ll be a great place for training.”

“Do we inform Aloe?” Cheren asked.

“No, she’ll bring an army if she realizes her daughters in the White Forest.” N replied. “We go ourselves then return her home.”

“The Great One…” Harmony mumbled. “Who could that be?”

“Sounds like a legendary Pokemon.” Satoshi confirmed.

“We don’t have time for that right now!” Cheren said. “Team Rocket is currently tracking Tyki down; we need to reach her before they do! Tamaki, lead the way!”

Tamaki saluted, releasing the two flying types, Dent and Iris on Seth’s and Satoshi and Harmony on Tiny’s. Kit threw a pokeball in the air, unleashing an articuno.

“A-A-Articuno?!” Harmony said, completely shocked. She took out her pokedex, which read Articuno, the ice and flying type Pokemon. One of the three legendary birds. It can create blizzards by freezing moister in the air.

“H-How?” Harmony asked.

“Tyki and I rescued her when her wing was injured because of Team Rocket and Team Plasma. Been following me ever since.” Kit said, petting the articuno on the head who seemed to be enjoying the treatment. She hoped aboard and began to take flight. N took out his archeos who screeched when summoned and as for Cheren a kenhallow, who peaked at the ground.

“Let’s go!” Harmony said and the flying types soared through the sky and towards the White forest, where Tamaki’s trainer lay asleep.
