Chapter V
The transformation expert
“Pikachu?” Kecleon repeated.
“Who is there?” a weak and trembling voice said.
“It’s me! Kecleon! Quickly, we‘ve come to rescue you!”
Very slowly Pikachu came out. She seemed very tired, she was thinner and must have been crying too.
Kecleon threw Cubone away and hugged Pikachu.
“Oh, I can’t believe it. I am so glad, Pikachu. Now, let’s get outta here...”
“Where do you think you are going?” Marowak said once he arrived with his troop. “You are not going anywhere.”
“Yes we are!”
Kecleon used another Psybeam, which Marowak evaded easily. Then he used Bonemerang. More Cubone threw them too.
“Run!!”
Kecleon took Pikachu on his back and he started running away with Togetic flying over him. Pikachu –with her remaining powers- used Grass Knot. However, the Cubone and Marowak that were after them were better prepared, so most of them evaded the attack.
They finally reached the end of the corridor, where the passage split into two. So, they took one of the ways, and all the bones behind them crushed into the solid wall.
More Cubone appeared in front of them however. They were trapped. They stopped moving and all Cubone circled them. Togetic was too weak to beat them, Pikachu too tired and Kecleon not enough. They had to give up.
“Do you ever learn from your mistakes?” Marowak asked. “There is no way to escape from the castle. Your cheap tricks don’t work. And now you are going to pay.”
Marowak threw his large bone the three of them. But it suddenly got blocked by another bone. It was one of the Cubone who had done it!
“What?’
As Marowak and Cubone were still thinking about what had happened, this specific Cubone jumped up high, turned into a Zubat and then used Confuse Ray on all Cubone! All of them got so confused, they started hitting each other with their bones or threw them into the air.
“Now!”
The three Pokemon and Zubat went past all the Cubone, and ran away.
“No.... Fools.... They escaped...” Marowak said, trying to get rid of his confusion, which he actually managed after a while, and ran after them.
“Thanks, Ditto! Good synchronisation!” Kecleon said. “Now, which way?”
“That one. Follow me.”
After a few moments, the Pokemon had found a staircase.
“Well, I did some checking around, this is a shorter way! It leads outside.” Ditto said.
They all went up the stairs, and then found themselves in a big corridor. This place was far different from the basement of the castle. Here everything was much more luxurious and of course it was much lighter! Large windows let all the daylight come in and lighten up every darkest corner of the rooms.
They headed to a window, which Kecleon broke with a Slash, and they jumped into the garden. Many colourful flowers and trees were here. It was about noon right now, and the weather was relatively warm. Togetic was glad to see the light of the sun again, however he didn’t know how much this would last. He might have trusted his fellow Pokemon, however could they stand against a whole castle?
Some Pokemon noticed them and started screaming around. More Cubone ran towards them.
“Ok, now, it will be easier, Ditto? Won’t it?”
“Yes.”
Ditto now turned from a Zubat into a Kirlia. How did he do it without a prototype??
“Ok, now, take my hands.”
Togetic obeyed, he caught Ditto’s hand, and so did Kecleon and Pikachu. Then, all of them Teleported. It was such a weird feeling, Togetic felt as if he was being loosened, like there was no air around him, and just as he was getting used to it, he suddenly felt being squeezed really tightly. His ears were hurting him very much. However, what mattered was they had escaped from the castle.
When he opened his eyes again, he realised they were in a forest. Right next to them a shallow river was flowing, which then turned into a short waterfall. The trees around them were different from the ones in the Moving Forests, indicating they had moved to another region.
Ditto returned to its normal form again. It lay down, seeming exhausted. Kecleon and Pikachu were relieved as well.
“Wow, that was awesome, Ditto! In spite of the pressure, you managed to bring us so close to The Base!” Kecleon congratulated Ditto, who smiled proudly. “I guess next time you’ll make it in The Base?”
“I hope there won’t be next time.” Ditto said plainly.
“Thank you, guys for saving me...” Pikachu said. “I am so sorry, I caused you so much trouble... Not only to you, but the whole Ally...”
“It’s ok, what matters is that you are fine now. We will fix everything.”
“Yes but... Togetic, I owe especially you an apology... I am so truly sorry...”
Togetic didn’t know how to react. He could not understand anything at all. He looked at the three of them with his eyes full of wonder.
“Haha, well, we are not crazy. We will explain to you everything once we ensure you are safe.” said Kecleon. “So, let’s get rolling.”
They stood up and started walking along the river. After a few moments they reached the end of the river. There it met a small pond, at the end of which was another waterfall. This one was way taller. The Pokemon walked around the lake and made it to the waterfall. It must have been about four or five meters high.
Kecleon started walking up some stairs that lead to the waterfall. The others followed. It seemed as if they were going into the falling water, however, they went behind it. There was a hole and a passage behind the falling water.
The four of them got into the passage. It was big enough for a large Pokemon to go through, however also small enough not to be seen by others.
The sound of the falling water was very pleasant, as well as the moisture. The passage was not very long, and it must have been a way to pass through the big hills around.
After some time of walking, they finally made it to the exit. And Togetic couldn’t believe his eyes.
btw, thx for your critics. Well I will see what I can do for our friends, Jumpluff and Froslass
