Chapter 2
Betrayal
Quartzine Town Outskirts
Obsidian was walking towards Quartzine town. He heard that there was strong rock and steel type Pokémon there. ‘Now I have to catch some stronger Pokémon and then work on training all of them. Then I will work on attempting to make allies. Worst comes to worst I will take out Smog myself.
A rustling came from a bush near Obsidian.
‘Crap, they already round me!’ he thought, his body frozen in terror. He turns around, and looks into the bush, just to find the same Munchlax he found in Weatherstone, which was now dragging around a tattered umbrella. ‘Weird…’ “Munchlax, can you…um…go back to your family please.
“…Lax?” the Munchlax answered with a confused look on its face.
“Go, now, that way,” Obsidian told the Pokémon as he turned it towards the other direction and pushed it that way. Obsidian started to walk away.
Munchlax waited until he was out of Obsidian’s sight of view, just to follow continue following him.
Quartzine Town
Obsidian looked around the town. He was here a couple times before, during his days in Smog, but this time it looks different. The last time he was there people were running around, working, having fun, and living there lives. He walked into a town with all of the doors and windows shut and locked. No one was outside, but you knew people lived there; the signs of live were all around him. ‘Wonder why everyone is?’
Quartzine Forest
Obsidian poked his head into the forest. There were many Pokemon being harvested by Smog. ‘Figures. I don’t want to cause any trouble.’ He looked to his side and saw a Pokemon watching him. ‘Eevee…I’d like to catch one, but in this condition, I’d rather not...’ Obsidian walked out of the mine, with the Eevee following him.
The Greasy Spool (Bar located in Quartzine town)
Obsidian walked to the door in the bar. He saw people in there, but the doors were locked. ‘I wonder what’s up’ Obsidian then looked to the left of him and saw wanted posters but up by Smog. On the top of the black list, Obsidian saw his name and picture with a reward of P50,000,000 on his head. ‘I’ve got a bad feeling about this…’ Obsidian then turned around, to find twenty grunts and an admin were right behind. “Son of a…”
The admin had long blonde hair that went past his shoulders. Like all the other admins, his face was like stone, and showed no emotion. He seemed unfazed and seemed to have not a single pokeball on his belt. Unlike the other admins though, he wore a grunt outfit.
‘All the admins look the same…’
“Kill the traitor!!” one of the grunts screamed out. There pokemon made many different attacks.
Obsidian jump up and flipped onto the roof of the building. ‘How did I know I was here?’ He sent out Sel, Glade, Scar, and Bre. “Lets get out there and fight guys. Scar, I want you to use a draco meteor into the middle of the crowd to make room for Bre. Sel and Glade, assume your normal positions.
All the pokemon nodded, and proceeded there orders.
Sel crawled up the back of the black shirt of her master. She then put her arms in the slits that where made for him, and opened up the eye and nose slits.
Glade went to Obsidians left side.
“Ready,” Obsidian said to scar.
Scar pulled his head back, and fired the attack at the center of the pack.
Bre jumped into the gap that Scar made and started attacking the grunts and there pokemon.
Glade’s eyes glowed for a second, and sent the levels and strengths of the opposing pokemon telepathically to his owner.
“So we don’t need to jump in, Bre should be strong enough to take out these pokemon herself…this is a complete joke.”
The admin of the grunts pulled out a silver whistle. “Time to turn the tides of this battle,” he said under his breath. The admin blew the whistle and the unspeakable happened.
Bre stopped his attack on the grunts, just to jump up to the roof Obsidian, waiting for another order.
The admin followed, and ordered Glade to make a barrier around the roof so there would be no interferences.
Glade did as asked, and then the four pokemon and two trainers were unable to escape.
Glade and Bre joined the admin’s side as he began to speak. “I’m Hyperion, the admin in charge of the Quartzine mine and forest. These are my two pokemon that you know too well, Bre and Glade. I am so grateful to be in your presence in battle, Smooth Demon.”
“I don’t give a crap on who you are, why did you just say that Bre and Glade were your pokemon?! Rue and Sakura were the original owners of them, and now I am there owner, not you!!” Obsidian screamed in rage. He seemed extremely angry, and enraged on the fact that two of his best friend’s pokemon have just betrayed him.
“Well, that’s a funny story, unlike you and Chaps, Rue and Sakura never caught a pokemon. Smog gave them each a pokemon from there own arsenal. So really, they are Smog’s pokemon, not yours, and you just have to live with that. Now, the only way to get out of here is to defeat Glade or make you own way through the barrier. You are also out numbered, two to one.”
“I see it as even, Sel, Scar, and myself versus you, Bre, and Glade.”
“Not really, you see, Scar isn’t fully loyal to you, and is also very tired after using draco meteor. I don’t think he is so used to this strain in power, now let’s begin. Bre, thunder punch.”
‘I’ll dodge to the left, then let Sel slide out of my shirt and then have her use an ice punch on Bre which should knock her out, and then use a night slash on Glade and then get the hell out of here.’ Obsidian jump to the left, just to get hit by the punch. He then got hit in the back where Sel was. ‘How did they know the plan?’
“Glade tells me everything you are thinking because it seems that you are still emotionally attached to him. If you completely shut Glade and Bre from your heart, then you will be able to defeat me, but I don’t think that it is even possible to turn your back on the pokemon that were once the partners of your best friends.”
“Hyperion, you’re a sick man.”
“People have told me that, and I agree with them. Bre, kill the traitor.”
‘Ok, try to loose emotions…’ Obsidian thought. He then got hit with a seed bomb and a sky uppercut. Obsidian then tore off his shirt and said, “Sel, Run!”
Sel looked at her owner with a confused look.
“I told you to get out of here.”
“…Snea…” the pokemon said, pointing to the barrier.
“…Oh ya…that…crap…” Obsidian said to himself.
‘How will I be able to…that’s it!!’ Obsidian thought. “Scar, use hydro pump to flood the place!’
“We’ll all drown if we do that!”
“Seems like I was able to cut the link, so now die with me Hyperion.”
Scar started the hydro pump, waiting for the order to stop. Though it wasn’t going to come.
About an hour later
“The water is up to your waist, what are you going to do Hyperion?”
“The same thing you are doing, waiting for the other to make an opening.”
“Not going to happen and now that I’ve sealed my heart, you don’t have any idea on what I am thinking.”
“Wait”
Three more hours
The two trainers and four pokemon were now treading water; there was almost no more room for air.
“Your insane boy!”
“People tell me that a lot and I agree, keep it coming Scar.”
‘This boy is smarter than he looks; I don’t see why boss solely trained him for battle and assassination. I will have to cut the force field sometime or another, maybe I can hold my breath longer than him and have him die right before the force field is lifted, ya, that’s exactly what I am going to do.’
‘Looks like I know something that he doesn’t know. Glade’s terrified of drowning, that’s why he is on top of Hyperion’s head. When I push him in, the field will go out and I can escape.’ Obsidian sunk into the water, and swam under Hyperion. He then took a chain out of his bag and loosely tied it around Hyperion’s foot.
“Choosing your grave boy, there will only be three more minutes of air and then we will die together.”
Obsidian dove under the water again and then pulled the chain down with him, making Hyperion and Glade go under the water. The second Glade’s head was under the water, his eyes lit and the force field bursted right open. As the water was emptying out, Obsidian got a stake and shoved it between one of the chains to make sure the Smog admin wouldn’t be able to follow him. He picked up Sel and Scar and they started to run off to another town, and another adventure.
