Isla Del Leyendas: Part 4

Ash groaned and opened his eyes.

He hated falling, hated, hated, hated.

He looked around, his torch had fallen out of his backpack, and was providing the only source of light, Pikachu was already awake, he’d shaken his Trainer back to consciousness, and it looked like Vaporion was trying to do the same for hers. Kayla groaned, opening her eyes, then hugging Vaporion before turning to Ash. “Where are we?”

“I think the floor gave way.” Ash replied, “Other then that, I have no idea.” He got to his feet, crying out and falling back down as pain shot through his leg.

“Ash?”

“I’m fine.” Ash grunted, getting back to his feet, Pikachu gave him a concerned look, and Kayla quickly got to her feet and supported him.

“Maybe, but I gotcha just in case.” Ash smiled gratefully. “Come on, the sooner we find the others, the sooner Brendan’s Chansey can uses its Softboiled and ease that leg.” Vaporion nodded in agreement, and walked alongside them, Kayla looked at the torch in Ash’s hand, then smiled, “I think I got something better.” She said with a grin, pulling a Pokeball off of her belt, “Come on out! Typhlosion!” The fire type appeared with a roar, the flames on it lighting the way much more effectively then the torch. “Typhlosion, can you help us get out of here?” The Pokemon roared again and led the way. Ash turned off his torch to save the batteries.

“I’d suggest that we use our Donphans to try to reach the surface, but you’d never be able to get to the top with your leg, and I don’t particularly wish for a ton of dirt to come down on us if it’s still unstable.” Kayla sighed.

“We were all in the same area when the floor fell in, the others have to be around here somewhere,” Ash said, “Brendan was stood next to that Raikou statue, that wasn’t more then a couple of meters away.”

“In theory he should be on the other side of that wall then.”

“No Donphans down here.” Ash reminded her. Kayla pouted then laughed.

“Typhlosion Ty!” Kayla looked at her Pokemon, there was a fork in the road.

“Left or right?” Ash asked Kayla, she frowned, there was no way of telling which was the right way.

“Ummm,” Kayla reached into her pocket and pulled out a Pokedollar, “Head’s right, Tails left?” Ash nodded in agreement, and Kayla flipped the coin. It handed on heads. “Right it is then.” They headed down the right passage way, following Typhlosion, Kayla tripped over a rock, and with Ash’s bodyweight combined with hers, she couldn’t prevent them falling down the stairs, landing in a heap at the bottom. Vaporion leapt off gracefully, having landed at the top of the pile.

“Typhlosion!” Her Pokemon roared as Kayla scrambled off of it.

“Ash? Pikachu?”

“Ow.” Ash grumbled.

“Pika!” Pikachu grumbled, sounding remarkably like his trainer.

Someone giggled, and Ash and Kayla jumped a mile as a Haunter appeared out of no where. “I don’t think down is the right way guys.”

Kayla looked over, and at the edge of their circle of light, stood Danielle, one of the youngest trainers aboard the CS Legacy. The Haunter glided back to its trainer, as Ash leant on Typhlosion to help him get to his feet. “We fell down, so I’d’ve thought that up was the right way to go.”

“Oh shush, Danni.” Kayla sighed, “We should’ve gone left, hey Ash?”

Ash nodded, his face pale.

“You alright?”

“Fine, just my leg playing up.”

Danielle thought for a moment, and then pulled a Pokeball out of her bag, “Kadabra! Come out!” The fourteen year old whispered to her Psychic Pokemon for a while, then turned to Ash and Kayla, a grin on her face. “Kadabra thinks he can ease your leg, he says he can’t heal it, but he can help.”

“How do you talk to Kadabra?” Kayla asked, as Ash nodded, and a white aura surrounded him.

“I speak normally, and he talks in my head.” Danielle said simply, “You don’t own a Psychic type, you wouldn’t understand.” The glow died and Ash looked a lot happier, moving away from Typhlosion, and testing his leg. Danielle looked from Ash to her Kadabra, then gave it an odd look, and turned back to Ash, “Kadabra says he restored your hit points, but says you shouldn’t use that leg more then you have too.”

“I’ll rest when we get out of here.” Ash said, with a frown, “Shall we head back up the stairs?” The two girls nodded and the fire type Pokemon led the way, then Ash, Pikachu and Kadabra, then Danielle and Haunter, and finally Kayla and Vaporion.

Once they reached the top they headed down the left passage way. It led into a huge room, one that also had the statues of the legendary Pokemon, only three of these were lit up though.

“Raikou, Entai and Suicune,” Kayla commented, then smiled as Ho-oh, Lugia and Mew’s eyes lit up, “Ok, I think it’s pretty safe to assume that Ho-oh responds to me, and Lugia to you Ash, Danni, have you seen Mew?”

“Seven or eight times, one lives in the forest by my home town, I helped it out just before I left, and Mew wanted to come with me, but it was safer in the forest.”

“So the Mew statues are responding to you.”

“Didn’t Brendon say something about meeting Raikou?” Ash asked, sitting against the wall. Kayla nodded, “Who were the other two who’d assisted the Legendary Dogs?”

“Ummm,” Danielle thought, “Kat was one of them.”

“Katherine had assisted Suicune, who was it that assisted Entai?”

“George… no Greg.” Ash said, “It was defiantly Greg, ‘cause I remember him saying that he met Entai before he left on his journey and that was why he focused on Fire Types.”

“Oh yeah,” Danielle giggled, “That was just before you beat him with your Donphan.” She said to Ash who smiled, “In your seventh match.” Danielle smiled, “Mind you, you two seem to have dominated the Battle Lounge since we left Cinnabar Island.”

“We can’t have been that long, that was two weeks ago.” Ash said, thinking.

“And I bet if Iason chose to battle he’d beat me, I’ve never fought a Dragonite before.” Kayla said, thinking also.

“I have.” Ash said, getting to his feet. “The Leader of the Orange Crew has one, it took everything my team had to beat it. That was about two, three years ago.” He looked at the doors that led away from the chamber they were stood in, “Shame we can’t guarantee which way the others went.”

“Why? Bored of our company?” Kayla teased. Ash just poked his tongue out at her.

“I was thinking that it’s not a good idea for us to spilt up to go looking for them, or the exit, if we get lost there’s no guarantee we’d find our way back here.”

“Haunter, could you show me the way back?” Danielle asked her Pokemon. The Ghost Type bobbed up and down, “I could go look.”

Kayla thought for a second, then sent out her Donphan, “Can you help me find my way back, and help me make sure I don’t enter anywhere unstable?” The Donphan nodded.

Ash thought for a second, then smiled, “Donphan!” His Donphan appeared, “I need your help, could you help me find my way back?” Donphan nodded. “Ok, spilt up and meet back here?”

The two girls nodded. Kayla looked at Ash, concerned. “If your leg starts playing up, head straight back here, there’s no guarantee we’ll be able to find you if you can’t get back.” Ash frowned, but nodded.

“Lets go.” The three trainers headed off in different directions, heading through one of the three archways that they hadn’t yet been through.
