BEGINNERS CAMP – PART 3

** what Dex says

 

That night, John dreamed that he was soaring in the clouds and the birds flew 
with him.  He saw a mountain and flew toward it.  He landed in a cave and looked 
around.  He saw an egg, it was lying in a nest and it was covered with feathers.  
John crept to it and he knelt down.  He held the egg and it started to glow in 
his hands.  He held the egg closer and he could feel it crack in his arms.  It 
broke in a million pieces and in his hands sat a baby Eevee.  Its eyes glowed 
and it talked to him.

“John…John…” it called as it stared into the boy’s eyes.

“What is it you want?” John asked, trying not to be frightened by this weird 
Eevee.

“John…a brave young lad…you will receive me today and you have to evolve me into 
Skyeon…the great Pokémon of the skies.  Do you understand young one?  When you 
receive an odd feather from and old man…touch me with it.  Promise me that…”

“I promise…I promise…”

“John?  John!”  Austin called to him as he was waking up.

“Huh?  What’s wrong, Austin?  It’s still 3 a.m.” John said checking his watch.

“Get dressed!  Hurry!”

“What’s wrong?”

“Just get your clothes on!  And grab everything that is yours!”

John did as he was told and they ran out of the cabin.  No sooner had they 
gotten 2 feet away, the cabin blew up.  John was hurled into the air and he 
landed on rocks and rolled into the river, unconscious.  Austin, also, flew into 
the air and he landed on his left arm.  He cried out in pain as he held his arm.  
The Water Flowers (obviously) were awakened by the explosion and they ran out to 
see what happened.  The blue haired girl, Kristi, saw Austin and helped him sit 
up.  She yelled to the other cabins to get the counselors while they took care 
of them.  The blond, Leana, asked Austin where John was.  When she saw his eyes 
look around and settle in one spot, she looked where he stared and screamed.  
There was John, all bloody and bruised.  He was lying in the river and not 
moving.  Leana ran to John and pulled him from the river.  She shook him, urging 
him to wake up, but he did not respond.  Brice saw Leana and John and he ran to 
them, while Steve went to Austin.  Brice checked John’s breathing and pulse and 
said he was still alive.  He rapped John in a towel and ran him to the Camp 
Hospital.  Austin was taken there also and was soon asked what happened.  He 
told that he awoke at 2:45 a.m. and he saw a man in the window, at the back of 
the cabin.  He kept quiet as he heard the man put something on the rear wall, 
outside and left.  Austin then heard ticking and he got dressed to see what it 
was.  He saw it was a time bomb and it was set to go off at 3:01 a.m.  He got 
his things together and woke up John, telling him to, also get dressed and get 
his things together.  And he told of what happened after it exploded, and 
everyone was shocked.  They went back to their cabins and slept cautiously.

That morning, John awoke to find Brice shaking him.  John tried to sit up, but 
pan shot from all over and he fell back down.  Brice told Austin’s story and 
John was shocked.  He was wanted by someone, but who? And why did they want to 
kill him?  John pondered this and he sat up, without pain this time (trying to 
get to the fun stuff) and went for breakfast.  Everyone was asking him questions 
and he ignored everyone.  He ate breakfast and went with Austin, who had his arm 
in a sling, to talk privately.  John told Austin of his dream and he was shocked 
to hear that his friend had the same dream but he was digging when he found the 
egg.  The Eevee in his dream told him to evolve him into Stoneon, the great 
Pokémon of the ground and that Austin would receive an odd stone from an old 
man.

They trained their Pokémon and Ponyta started to glow.  He grew in size and a 
horn developed on his forehead.  He evolved into Rapidash.  Irtico also started 
to glow.  He reared up just as his body grew larger.  He, like Ponyta, grew a 
horn on his head and he became Articolt.  Lightning saw this happening and 
started to run around looking for a wild Pokémon to fight.  John noticed her 
jealousy and found a Ryhorn that could not give up a challenge.  The Ryhorn ran 
full speed to the pony and she got out of the way just in time to see the Ryhorn 
fall on his face.  The pony saw that the back part of the Pokémon was not 
shielded.

“Lightning!  Rolling Thunder!” John called as Quest sat on his shoulders, trying 
to learn all the different moves that Lightning did.  Lightning stared at the 
Ryhorn as the clouds grew dark and thunder was heard from all over.  The Ryhorn 
got distracted and looked at the sky.  He turned around and it gave Lightning 
the perfect chance to win and she Thunderbolted the Ryhorn.  The Ryhorn fell 
defeated and the horse glowed with happiness.  She trotted around and she grew 
in size and she grew a horn.  She was a bit smaller than the other horses but 
she was faster.  She went to John placed her bare forehead against his and 
nickered.  He pulled out a Super Potion and he climbed on her back.  He poured 
down the healing liquid into the Ryhorn’s throat and galloped away with Quest 
holding on for dear life.

When John got to Austin, the sling on the boy’s arm was gone and his arm was ok.  
Their cabin name was called and they headed for the gym.  Brice and Steve 
greeted them and were glad that they were ok.  They explained that this was an 
obstacle course and a fitness test.  John was to go first and he stepped into 
the room.  An intercom told John he could use any Pokémon to get through the 
course, but not the track.  They started the clock as John ran into what was 
supposed to wasteland.  John called out Lavitar and asked him to show him the 
way through the maze of stones.  Lavitar’s horn glowed and he started to run.  
John followed and was glad he had a rock Pokémon.  When Lavitar was out of 
sight, Quest pointed the way and they were out soon Lavitar was called back and 
Lightning was called out.  John climbed on and they were off.  They came to a 
river and Lightning, because she was small and quick, easily jumped the river.  
John directed her through a jungle and they came upon a million of Goedude.  
They rock throwed Lightning and she was down.  John returned her and called out 
Spinarak and Spitefire.

“Spinarak!  Stick those Geodude to the floor!” John ordered as Spitefire 
crouched down to let him climb on his back.  Spinarak obeyed and his work was 
done.  The spider was returned and the duo was off.  They came to a balloon that 
had a sign on it, saying, “POP ME!!”

“Spitefire…see that balloon?  I want you to use Swift on it to pop it…ok?” John 
said, and Spitefire obeyed.  The balloon popped and a box fell from it.  John 
caught the box and inside were many items.

‘Better keep these for later on,’ thought John as he told Spitefire to hurry.  
Up ahead, a Pidgey, Mareep, an ice pup and a Poliwag were hurt.  John went to 
the Pidgey and the bird could not move his wing.  He took a stick from what the 
box gave and put the stick against the wing and tied it.  The Pidgey chirped and 
hopped up and down.  Quest on the other hand was helping the Mareep.  The lamb 
was stunned and Quest grabbed an antidote from the items and used it on the 
lamb.  The lamb also jumped up and down.  John smiled at Quest and gave him a 
thumbs up.  Quest did the same and dodged to the Poliwag.  John went to the ice 
pup and the pup seemed poisoned.  John took three berries from the items and 
gave a blue one to the dog.  The dog still cried out in pain and so John tried 
out a green one.  That berry caused the dog to jump up and down, revived.  Quest 
was still trying to figure out what was wrong with the Poliwag.  The Pokémon 
could not talk and it was turning purple.  Quest found out it was chocking and 
he jumped on its belly, for it was lying down.  Out shot water and a chunk of 
food from its mouth.  Quest moved its head, before the food went back in.

“Well done, John!  Your time was 2:99.  Impressive!  Now for the track,” Brice 
called from and intercom.  John got ready and a gun sounded.  John took off and 
raced around the track with the speed of Lightning.  It seemed like forever 
until they told him to stop.  His face and neck were drenched with sweat. His 
hair was messy and his eyes were calm and serious as he took in air.  He was not 
winded or tired.  He once ran over 5 miles until he was tired.  He was informed 
that he was finished and that he would be a great trainer and that he was 
supposed to inform Austin that it was his turn.  John walked out of a door and 
was blinded by the light of the Sun.  Austin went in and John went into their 
new cabin and took a shower and changed into shorts and a blue t-shirt that 
really brought out the color of his eyes.  He replaced his black head band with 
a baby blue one and gelled his hair back to normal.  Austin came back and they 
talked about their obstacle runs, while Austin changed into a neon green t-
shirt, also brought out the color of his eyes, and shorts.  Austin ended with a 
3:03 and got second place.  They laid on the beds and went drifted to sleep 
while their Pikachu were getting comfy on their chests.

They woke up to find an hour went by and there were Pokéballs on their chests.  
John sat up and Quest fell off the bed and shocked John out of shock.  John was 
brown and he brushed himself off.  Quest said sorry in Pika language and climbed 
up the bed.  John called out the Pokémon and it was an Eevee.  It cried out in 
joy and winked at John. John stroked the Eevee while it talked to Quest.  Austin 
told John that he received an Eevee also.  They returned the Pokémon and went to 
dinner (they missed lunch) with Quest and Bolt at their heels.  When they sat 
down, the Rockin’ – Rollers started asking them questions about their 
reputation.

“I heard you guys are the favorites of the counselors and you are liked above 
everyone else,” the brown haired, brown eyed boy said as he jabbed Austin in the 
ribs with his elbow.  Austin ignored the boy and the other one started getting 
John mad.

“Yeah!  You two are the little goodie-two-shoes we’re hearing about all the 
time,” the grey haired, grey eyed boy snickered as he jabbed John in the ribs.

“Did you know that I major in running and judo?” John smirked as he grabbed an 
apple for Quest, who was glaring at the boy, angrily.  The boy backed off and 
went to his table, while the other ran for the table being told that Austin was 
a major in wrestling.  The two smiled and were about to leave when Steve and 
Brice went in front of everyone to make announcements.

“We want to know how many Pokémon you have before you leave the room.  Anyone 
have just one?” Steve asked the crowd.  Two boys raised their hands in 
confidence and put there hands down when Brice wrote this down.  “Anyone have 
just two?”  Many of the kids raised their hands and put them down again.  “More 
than two?”  John and Austin raised their hands and many looked at them with dark 
looks.  “Are you telling us the truth boys?”

“OF COURSE WE ARE!!  WE HAVE NEVER LIED BEFORE IN OUR LIVES!!” Austin yelled 
angrily, while John stared coldly to the counselors.  Many kids yelled to prove 
it and they did.  They walked up onto the stage and threw their balls to the 
ground with so much anger, the floor boards shook.  There stood an Arcanine, a 
Houndoom (a.k.a. Spitefire), a Snubbull, a Lavitar, a Spinarak, a Rapidash, a 
Thundrioco (a.k.a. Lightning), an Articot, two Pikachu (a.k.a. Bolt and Quest), 
and two Eevee.  They people gasped in shock as all the Pokémon stood there 
confused.  John and Austin stared at Steve and Brice.  They both apologized in 
front of everyone and the Pokémon were called back and the boys left the 
building.

John and Austin both trained and Spinarak evolved into Araidos.  Lavitar was 
almost ready to evolve so he wondered off and found a Furret all alone.  They 
started to fight and Lavitar won.  He was starting to glow but he stopped 
himself.  He took the Furret to John and John healed him.  Lavitar dug in his 
bag and found an Everstone, a stone to cause a Pokémon to stay the way it is.  
He touched it and he glowed brightly.  When the light left, Lavitar was dancing 
around.  John understood why he did that and he caught the Furret.  Austin on 
the other hand, caught a Hoothoot Snubbull defeated, so that it could evolve 
into a Granbull.  They both returned the Pokémon and they went back to the cabin 
and slept peacefully that night.
