BEGINNERS CAMP – PART 4 By: Falcon ** what Dex says John and Austin awoke the next morning and found a weird sight. There was an old man lying in the extra bed. He was very poor looking and he looked very happy that he was in a bed. John went to the man and shook him, lightly. The old man woke up, smiled and sat up. He thanked the boys for letting him sleep for a little bit in the cabin. He gave John an odd feather and Austin an odd stone. He, also, gave them 25 candies each. He thanked the boys again and left. The boys remembered their dreams and called out their Eevee. They gave them all the candy and they grew many levels. John looked at the feather and it glowed with a mysterious light. He touched his Eevee with it and he started to glow bright blue. Hid body grew larger and his paws became larger and his back grew wings. They were large, looking like an angel’s, and his body was almost as big as Spitefire’s and was strong enough to hold a human. His ears and tail grew long and he was the color silver. His eyes were so gray that they pierced through your soul. He walked to John and put his head on his shoulder and rubbed the side of his head lovingly and licked his cheek. John laughed and pet his Pokémon, just the way he liked it. He figured his new friend was Skyeon. Austin took the stone he received and touched his Eevee with it. The Eevee grew as large as Skyeon, but his body became hard. Instead of fur, his body became covered with the hardest kind of stone that anyone could imagine. His ears were short and rounded and his tail was spiked, sharply. The great stone Pokémon went to Austin and rubbed his chest lightly and licked his face. Austin pet Stoneon and played with him a little. They returned their Pokémon and got dressed. They grabbed their Pikachu and ran to the cafeteria to get breakfast. While they were eating, many of the kids were nicer to them. After they ate, the boys went to train. The Pokémon looked at the boys sadly and they decided that their friends need a break, so the boys let them play. All of them played tag and soon they were all napping. The smaller Pokémon slept with each other and the larger slept around everyone to protect them. John laid on against Spitefire and looked around he sensed that someone was there. He pretended that he was asleep and he nudged Spitefire. Spitefire also felt someone’s presence and, like John, watched for the unseen person. The bushes rusted and Spitefire was ready to charge. Out of the bushes came Leana. She walked over to John and smoothed his hair back. He acted like he was sleeping and what she did next surprised him. She knelt down and kissed his lips (OOOOOOOO!!! ROMANCE! HEHEHE!). He was so surprised that he did not realize that he was returning that kiss. She became shocked herself and released the kiss. They both stared at each other and were as red as beets. John started to chuckle and soon both started laughing. John then walked to Leana, helped her up and he kissed her on the cheeck. She giggled and walked off. John then looked at Austin and he saw him kiss Kristi’s cheeck and she giggled and left. The boys looked at each other and grinned. They returned the Pokémon and went to their cabin to think things over. When they reached their cabin, an egg was siting on both of their beds. A note was with them and it said, “This is to test how gentle you are with the things that need the most. DO NOT TRADE!! We know which one’s you have.” John and Austin went and explored the territory, with their eggs held in their arms. John saw a pond full of Magikarp and he sat down to warm his egg. He held it in his arms and chuckled when Quest tried to feed the Magikarp bread. Just then, he felt his arm jiggle. He looked down and saw that the egg started to hatch. He held the egg close as he saw the egg crack into four pieces. It then exploded into tiny pieces. John opened his eyes and saw an amazing sight. There in his hands sat a Sheekiti, the baby form of a grass dragon, Shashikoo. Sheekiti had a body as tall as Quest and was forest green. The dragon had wings that were large for its size. Its feet were normal sized and his hands were also. He was very strong and could probably break a rock just by punching it. Its eyes were as blue as John’s and had an innocent look in them. He called the dragon to follow and they ran to Austin, who was holding something. His egg was just hatched and out came a brown baby dragon. they gasped and realized that it was Fighthioci the baby form of Fighriokoto, the stone dragon. Its body was covered in hard scales opposite of Sheekiti, who had scales. Its feet and arms were huge and his claws were so sharp, they could cut right through you. This one could not fly, but could run faster than a Rapidash. Its eyes were as green as Austin’s, but very serious looking. Austin named his pet Race and John named his Sheik. They returned them and went to lunch. They finished lunch and talked for a long time in the cabin. They discussed about how they got rare and more Pokémon than the others, their dreams, their lives and their friendship. They spent more time talking about their friendship, that they did not realize the man that had entered the room. He sprayed a perfume and closed the door with him outside. The boys coughed and gasped for air. Austin fainted first, who was trying to open the window and John fainted while he tried to ram the door open. Bolt and Quest were outside and watched everything from the bushes. “Pika Pika? What’s happening to the boys?” asked Bolt as he saw the man open the door and pulled out John and the shut the door. “Pikachu… I don’t know but we have got to save John…” Quest replied as he ran to the man. Quest and Bolt Thundershocked him and he fell unconscious. Bolt rammed open the cabin door and let the perfume flood out. Quest shook and shocked John, trying to wake his dear master up. John moved a bit and Quest called to him. “Pika Pika Chu! Speak to me John!!! Please do not be dead!!!” Quest cried as he pushed John’s head. John moved again, this time he grabbed Skyeon’s ball, as if he were in a trance, and called him out. His hand then dropped and he did not move anymore. “What is wrong, young Quest? Why are you crying?” Skyeon asked as he nudged the crying Pikachu. “Pika Pika! Don’t you see? John is dead!” Quest said as he touched John’s head. “He is not dead. He is merely faint. Please…go get Brice and Steve.” “Pika Pika… Ok…but watch him…” Quest said as he ran off. He went to the main office and looked for the men. He could not find them, so he went outside. He saw them in the middle of the lake and he jumped in to get them. He swam till he reached the men and all his strength failed. Brice saw Quest and put him in the boat before the poor Pokémon drowned. Brice and Steve got in the boat and got to shore. They saw the Pokémon urging them to follow and they did. Meanwhile, Skyeon went to see how Austin was. He saw Stoneon and they began to talk. “These boys are the chosen heroes…I know it without a doubt,” Skyeon murmured as he helped Stoneon get the unconscious boy outside. “Are you sure? They could be just fools who are not ready for things that will come,” the great Stone creature replied. “No! They are the ones! They have already been through the harsh treatment of what is to come in the future. It is them! I feel the determination and courage in John and the patience and obedience in Austin. It is truly them.” “I trust you well, my friend. Let us see what the humans do, for they are here.” Stoneon sat as he said this and his companion did the same. Brice and Steve came running and saw the magnificent creatures before them. They stared and then was shocked by very sad Pikachu and they helped the boys. John was awoke first and he put his hand on his head. Austin came too also. All of the sudden the boys glowed. Everyone stood back while the boys cried out in shock. “What…….what’s happening? Austin!” John cried as he fell on his hands and knees clutching his head. “I don’t know! John!” shouted Austin as he fell on his knees and clutched his chest. The glowing stopped and John still clutched his head. Austin was ok, but rushed to John’s side. They did not realize that John’s hair had the purest looking streaks in his all white hair. Austin’s hair had dark green streaks in jet black hair. “John? Are you ok? Talk to me!!” Austin said in worry. John was not ok. He was in panic for he saw his Grandparents dead and the house burned down in his mind. He shot up from his position. Tears that that burned his eyes ran down his horrified face. He looked across the lake and saw smoke rising from the woods. He called out Skyeon and told him, with his voice croaking as he tried not to cry to fly to the fire. Skyeon understood and with one leap, they were in the air and flying to the scene. “I’ll follow him. Go, Stoneon! Follow John!!!” He nodded and ran around the lake as fast as could, while Austin and Bolt clung for their lives. When they got to where John was, he was sobbing. He was holding a dead body in his arms. Austin was confused, but put his hand on John’s shoulder. John looked up and his eyes were red with revenge and he asked Austin, “Why would they kill my g-parents? What was there reason?” Austin felt terrible. He knew what it was like to be the only one left in his family. “John…about my parents…how they let me have the runt? I lied. I wanted to be friends and not feel the pain of having lost all of my family.” Austin paused to wipe the tears that had found their place on his cheeks. “I found Arcanine, when he was a Growlithe, being injured by Rockets. I fought them and they had me down in minutes. They were about to kill me when Growlithe came to my side and Flamethrowered them into the sky. I picked up a Pokéball they dropped and caught him. I ran to a Pokémon Center and healed him. That’s my story…” Austin said trailing off. They sat there, looking at the ground when all of the sudden, they heard rustling in the bushes. They got their Pokémon ready for a fight and guess who popped up? Sandslash and Sunflora! They both jumped on the boys and hugged them, happily. Sandslash followed John back and Sunflora followed Austin. John kept Sandslash, for it was the only thing he had of his G-pa’s and Austin kept Sunflora, so John could remember his G-ma. They were welcomed back to the camp by their sweet-hearts (who were told everything and were worried) and to men who were asking what had happened (Brice and Steve). John told everything and everyone was sorry. The girl’s noted the boy’s hair and the boys realized that they were right. The weird glow had changed their hair completely. They went to the lobby and ate an early dinner and went to bed early, for their day had too much excitement for their liking. THE END I hope u all liked it. Please review it (you don’t have to, but it would be nice if you would). Have a nice day! C ya!
