Chapter 4 - Let's be friends!

The rustling grass grew louder and  louder, sweat trickled down my brow  and I tightened  my grip on the pokeball in anticipation of what's about to happen. 

My body felt cold and tense.

I start to get closer and closer to the grass 

ball in hand ready to battle this thing if necessary....whatever it is..

I took one step closer and my head nearly came off as a beam of pure darkness flew by my head.

I stumbled backwards from shock trying to regain my composure trying to find a way out of this situation!

Why did I come here? Why didn't I just stay away from Pokemon, they're animals just 

pure destructive machines!

When I looked up I saw a large metal snake staring right at me from inside the grass.

I started to shake and my lungs started to tense up. I wanted to scream but I was too scared to do so I wanted to cry but I couldn't close my eyes for a second!

 I tried to run but the  thing tried to use dark Pulse again! that's it.... I was going  to die-

..

....

"Arbok uses darkpulse!!" 

Another  dark beam flew over my head canceling out the other at this point I was petrified and didn't know what was going on.

I looked up at my savior and it was a guy with a  black uniform  and a big R on it.

The steelix roared and burrowed into the ground

no one knows where it is but the guy protecting me kept a cool head surprisingly.

The ground under me started to crack  and break apart- 

"Arbok dragon tail!" The Arbok pushed me away with its head and  the minute steelix Pops  up it quickly coils mid air to slam it down with a huge energy barrier with its tail sending the steelix back down into the hole.

"You ok kid?" The guy asked me. I nod, getting up off of the ground.

"Stay behind me," he said, focusing on the battle ahead. the steelix tried to pop up from the ground again.

"Arbok, use wrap!" the minute steelix jumps out again it was squeezed by Arbok using wrap.

"Now use sludge bomb!" The Arbok opens its mouth wide, gurgling a bunch of poison in its mouth ready to fire. The steelix tried to get the Arbok off by rolling around and slamming its body into the ground but none of that worked.

Arbok launched a poisonous goo at the Steelix 

making it drop to the floor ..it looks like it was poisoned.

"good work Arbok." The guy returned his pokemon in his pokeball and went up to the steelix.

When  he got down to the beast it glowed a dark purple and Zorua was in the place of that monster from before.

"huh?...." I was confused how …did it...

The guy that saved me grabbed the zorua and placed it in a cage made with electricity.

"huh- .." I said " maybe you should get it to a pokemon center-.."

The guy just turned around and smiled at me "it's nothing to worry about, it'll  be fine." he smiled and started to walk away with the cage in hand.

I looked at the zorua in the cage. It looked like it was suffering major injuries and the electric cage didn't make it any better.

Wait ..no this thing attacked me it deserves what I got I don't need to show any sympathy towards this animal!

Pokemon aren't friends we're  just enslaving them with these weird balls they aren't doing this because they chose too if  they do want they want we'd be extinct  for sure.....right? Pokemon love isn't real... it just isn't...

...I let out a deep sigh and looked at the pokeball in my hand.....

"Pidgeotto, use gust!" The man started to get lifted off of the ground and the cage fell out of his hand.

I quickly ran to grab it but I wouldn't make it just running so I leaped for the cage shocking myself in the process but I endured it.

"damn you kid!" the man shouted, sending out his Arbok again "stop messing around!".

"Arbok uses  wrap on the kid!" The Arbok launched in my direction  but I was protected by a pidgeotto using peck on it.

Pidgeotto started to peck away on the Arbok.

"Arbok what are you doing use dark pulse!!" 

the Arbok opened its mouth and aimed a beam of dark energy at the pidgeotto blasting it back.

"Pidgeotto!" I screamed to it "you ok??".

The pidgeotto got up and spread its wings screeching to look intimidating.

Arbok was severely hurt; it was covered in cuts and bleeding.

"Use quick attack!"  Pidgeotto    charged into the  Arbok, hitting it and carrying it into the sky. I took in a deep breath when they got high enough

"PIDGEOTTO  USE PECK!'' Pidgeotto, hearing my command, quickly grabbed  the Arbok by the tail and tossed it downwards quickly following with a peck right in the center driving it down to earth.

The pidgeotto  started to peck away at the Arbok eating it but it did not take long before the guy chased it away from the Arbok.

When he got a good  look at his pokemon it was mutilated it was open completely in the middle barely alive to even say anything.

"you'll pay for this you brat I saved you and this is how you repay me! teak rocket wont forget about this!!" The team rocket grunt ran with his tail between his legs with his arbok in hand.

I tried to get  Zorua   out of the cage, still shocking myself in the process but I managed to get it out.

When it got out, Zorua bit me. Surprised by this I fell back again but I didn't retaliate. I hugged it  tighter and tighter  as if to tell it it's ok and I won't hurt it ever.

Soon enough it let go and started to lick my wounds.

My eyes started to shut.... shoot not now come on curse this 5 year old body and not being able to stay up for long. I ended up falling asleep with Zorua in hand.

....

Zorua ...let's be best friends.
