《Cyan & Lime | Pokémon》 Chapter 1: Weedle Cyan - Hello there little buddy! He looked at a Machop while saying it. The Machop looked weirded out by it. As Cyan tried to pet it, the Machop punched him right in the face. Cyan - OUCH! Lime - How''s it going? Cyan - My face feels broken, but other than that I''m doing really well. Why do we have to get a Pok¨¦mon again? Lime ¨C Without one, it will be pretty unlikely for us to make it out of this darn forest. The wild Pok¨¦mon will get too strong for just the two of us. If we were to not get any, our odds of making it out of here unharmed would be quite low. Cyan stopped listening and laid down, he was planning on taking a nap. Cyan ¨C Well, I''d say I''ve done enough searching for a Pok¨¦mon for the day. Lime ¨C Of course you sleep now. Cyan ¨C I''m not sleeping, just taking a nap. Lime ¨C How can you not be worried? We''ve been stuck out here for what feels like hours! Cyan ¨C I''m sure we will get out of here in no time! We just need some good Pok¨¦mon! What about that Weedle there? He happily pointed at a Weedle that was laying down on a rock near them and enjoying the sunshine. Lime ¨C A Weedle? ... It''s pretty weak, not quite the best option for us. Cyan got closer to the Weedle and continued pointing at it with a straight face, trying not to show his excitement. The Weedle just looked back at him with confusion, but also a bit of excitement. Then, Cyan dropped his serious face. Cyan ¨C Hey little buddy! Wanna joins us on getting out of here? The Weedle looked slightly more confused at him, but then it also smiled happily back at him, as if it was trying to tell him that it would like to join the two of them. Cyan ¨C Oh my gosh he said yes, Lime! He said yes! Lime ¨C He didn''t really say yes, but alright. Cyan put Weedle on his shoulder and petted it. Cyan ¨C Now that we have me figured out, what Pok¨¦mon will you be having? Lime ¨C Me? I''m not sure about me. I don''t think I could handle a Pok¨¦mon. Cyan stared at Lime with disappointing eyes. Meanwhile, Weedle got distracted by a swarm of Rookidees that were flying above them. Cyan ¨C I am sure little cutie Weedle is strong, but not that strong! We can''t get out of here with only him. Lime ¨C Well then what do you want me to do? There probably isn''t even a Pok¨¦mon here that would like to join me. Cyan''s expression kept on getting more disappointed with every word that Lime uttered. Then, all of a sudden, a wounded Rookidee fell out of the swarm that was flying above them, right onto Weedle. Cyan ¨C What about this Rookidee that just landed on my shoulder? He picked up the Rookidee which was partially unconscious, just like Weedle, who also got unconscious from the impact. Cyan held the Rookidee in front of Limes face who looked at it with a defeated look. Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. Lime ¨C O-Only if it wants to help us... Cyan ¨C It wants to. Lime - HOW DO YOU WANNA KNOW THAT!?! Cyan''s expression changed to a big smile and Lime''s to a big disappointment. Cyan ¨C I just have a feeling! And usually, my feeling isn''t wrong! Lime ¨C I don''t think that''s true. You''re clearly just lying to me. Cyan ¨C I would never! Or well, I''m pretty sure I wouldn''t lie to you. Just trust my good ol'' feeling. And as you know, my feeling usually isn''t wrong. Knowing that Cyan''s gut feeling was only right 50% of the time, Lime looked at the poor Rookidee and took it into his arms. Lime ¨C Rookidee. You don''t have to decide if you want to join us right now. You can decide once we get you healthy again. Until then, I will protect you. Cyan ¨C And with that our squad is all complete! So, what''s next on the to do list? Lime ¨C Maybe get the two conscious again? Cyan ¨C That does sound like a good plan! You don''t just randomly have any potions or so on you, that may help? Lime ¨C I do, in fact, not have any. My backpack is basically empty, expect for a compass and a map. Cyan ¨C Oh right, and all I have in mine is my good old and reliable pocket lamp! Weedle slowly started to open its eyes again, unlike Rookidee, who was still unconscious. Cyan ¨C My Weedle is back awake, so let''s start doing stuff! Lime ¨C We need healing berries, like an Aguav Berry or a Figy Berry. Cyan ¨C Well then where could we find those? Weedle, you seem to have been here the longest, so would you happen to know where a healing berry is? Weedle thought about it for a second and remembered where to find some berries that could help. So he started waddling his way towards the berries. Cyan ¨C Show us the way wormy worm! Weddle went north of their location, so Cyan and Lime started following him with Rookidee in Limes arms. Lime ¨C What do we do in case of an angry wild Pok¨¦mon? Cyan ¨C I''m sure Weedle got all of this handled! Weedle was getting distracted by a Seedot walking by and accidently bumped into a tree. Cyan ¨C I think we''re here! Where are these berries? Maybe on the tree that Weedle showed us? Look! There are some! He picked up a yellow and red colored berry, a Figy Berry, and stuffed it in Rookidees beak. Rookidee slowly started to get conscious again but was confused, due to the side effects of the Figy Berry. Cyan ¨C Why does it look like it''s doing better but also not? Lime ¨C The side effects of the berry, it heals a good amount, but some Pok¨¦mon also get confused by it. Cyan ¨C Oh... so it''s like, really bad? I''ll throw the other ones I picked up away then. Lime ¨C Wha? Did you listen to me? It just gets some Pok¨¦mon confused! We should take some with us, in case we need healing. It might not have any side effects for Weedle too. They gathered all the seven berries they saw and moved onward through the forest. Cyan ¨C How long do you think we have, before we make it out of this forest? Lime ¨C We started 5 minutes ago... According to my map and compass, we need at least an hour to get to Jojuji-town. And that is only the first of five layers. Cyan ¨C Layers? Towns? I thought the only thing in this forest was forest! Lime ¨C This is the biggest forest in the region!And the further you get through the layers the stronger the Pok¨¦mon. We willprobably be stuck in this forest for at least a week! As so many wild Pok¨¦monlive here and as the forest is so dense, no cars or trains or so are allowed inhere. Cyan ¨C What? But then why would people bother living here? Lime ¨C I don''t know? Maybe they just like trees. The two started arguing until they bumped into a Snorlax. The Snorlax was sleeping next to a tree, in a small open field where it was almost impossible to not see the sleeping Snorlax. Cyan ¨C It''s so fluffy and so big, almost like a giant pillow! I''m taking a nap on it! He jumped on the Snorlax, made himself comfortable and closed his eyes. Lime ¨C ARE YOU SERIOUSLY TAKING A NAP NOW?!? Cyan ¨C We''ve been going for so long, I need a break! Lime ¨C It''s been like 15 minutes! We''re not even half way to Jojuji town! And you just had a nap, how are you possibly tired? Cyan ¨C I just am. Weedle crawled up the Snorlax and took a nap next to Cyan. Rookidee was also taking a nap on Limes hands. Cyan ¨C Just take a quick nap! It''s still about the middle of the day so we''ll get to Jojuji-town before nightfall! Lime ¨C Fine... I guess a little nap won''t hurt too much... All four of them cuddled up together on the big Snorlax and fell asleep. A few hours later, as the sun went down, Lime woke up again. Lime ¨C WE OVERSLEPT! Wake up, you blue nightmare! Cyan and their Pok¨¦mon slowly woke up too. Cyan ¨C I think we overslept. Lime ¨C YOU THINK? Now we have to go to Jojuji-town tomorrow... Cyan ¨C What are you talking about? We can still go at night! Lime ¨C But it will be even more dangerous at night! Cyan ¨C It''ll be fine, don''t worry about it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope you enjoyed this first Chapter! Chapter 2: In the Shadows The squad was walking through the forest, with Lime taking the lead, looking behind every twig to see if there were any dangerous Pok¨¦mon. Cyan ¨C Why are you so worried? You said this is like layer one, so shouldn''t the Pok¨¦mon around here be pretty weak? Lime ¨C Well, yeah, but don''t underestimate them! We don''t even know the strength of our own Pok¨¦mon! Don''t forget they also came from layer one! They kept walking quietly, with Lime trying to see ahead and Cyan playing around with Weedle. Lime ¨C Oh no! Cyan ¨C What''s up? Lime ¨C I think that''s a 4000 rank Pok¨¦mon! Cyan ¨C A what a what? Lime ¨C Do you know anything? Ranks are a scale to show the strength of a Pok¨¦mon. It''s basically a measuring system. Cyan ¨C Then Weedle surely is a one Million rank Pok¨¦mon, right? I mean just look at his strength! Lime ¨C Definitely not. Cyan ¨C Anyways with what Pok¨¦mon are we dealing here? Lime ¨C It''s a Sableye... The Sableye noticed them and launched at them, using Shadow Claw. Lime ¨C WATCH OUT! Both of them jumped out of the way and the Sableye hit a tree instead. It left visible marks on the tree bark. Cyan ¨C Looks like there''s not much to mess with, with this Sableye! Weedle use... Something! Lime ¨C Something!?! Cyan ¨C Something! Weedle jumped at the Sableye, using Poison sting but completely missed the Sableye, who got another attack ready, aiming it at Weedle. But before it could attack, Weedle used string shot. Cyan ¨C Should Rookidee also join the fight? Lime ¨C I don''t think it''s healthy enough for a battle. If only we had actual gear and potions! Sableye was slightly annoyed and tried to get the strings off, meanwhile Weedle used this moment to successfully use poison sting on the Sableye. The Sableye coughed it off and went a few steps back, being caught off guard by the whole situation. Cyan ¨C My wormy worm isn''t even doing too badly! I think I was right about it being a rank one Million! Lime ¨C It sure isn''t. However, I was wrong with the Sableye, judging by the scratch markings, it isn''t even close to being over Rank 1000. If we two got together, we''d have a decent chance of beating it up ourselves, without dying. Sableye got herself together again and used Fury swipes on Weedle. Weedle was almost defeated, just by that one hit. Lime ¨C give him a berry! Cyan ¨C Oh right! The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Cyan threw a Figy berry at Weedle who ate it and regained some health, while not getting confused by it. But Sableye already got ready for another fury swipes and this time, Weedle got hit even stronger. But it seemed Weedle easily withstood the hit. It then closed its eyes and started shining. Sableye touched Weedle, trying to figure out what the heck was going on. She then backed away from Weedle, wanting to observe the situation from a distance. The light that Weedle was emitting kept getting brighter and brighter. Cyan ¨C It''s evolving! Now it''ll surely have one Million rank, right? Lime ¨C It sure won''t, but as a Kakuna it can hopefully withstand the fury swipes easier! Weedle finished the evolution and used harden immediately. Sableye then got back into battle mode and used fury swipes once more, but Kakuna jumped out of the way and used harden again. Sableye continued trying to hit Kakuna but always missed and Kakuna continued using harden. Lime ¨C You''re Kakuna is extremely quick, for a Kakuna! But why is it using harden so often? Cyan ¨C I''m sure it has its plans! Suddenly, instead of jumping out of the way, Kakuna took the hits and waddled towards Sableye and headbutted it. Sableye was confused and no longer had any idea of what was going on. Cyan ¨C Of course! It can''t defeat Sableye, so just make it confused for a bit so we can escape! Lime ¨C Did it just HEADBUTT THE SABLEYE?!?!?! That''s not even an attack that it should have... And then also the attack did the wrong status condition... Cyan ¨C Who cares, let''s leave while we can! The both of them ran as fast as they could. Cyan ¨C That was an exciting thrill, wasn''t it. Also, great job, cocoony cocoon! So proud of you buddy! Here, have another berry as a reward! Lime ¨C Dude, that was SCARY. Cyan ¨C Oh, yeah, it was also that. The two continued running for a while. After several minutes of intense running, they calmed down and continued walking again. Lime ¨C I think it stopped following us. We have about 20 minutes left to go... Let''s hope some of the shops in Jojuji town are still open at this time... WAIT, WE DON''T HAVE ANY MONEY! Cyan ¨C Oh right, that might turn out as a problem... ??? ¨C Someone help! Please! Lime ¨C Hello? Who was that? A little girl is stuck on a tree and it looked like she was too scared to get back down. Cyan ¨C Up there! A little girl! Little Girl ¨C Get me down from here, please! Cyan ¨C Do you think Rookidee can fly up there and get her down? Lime ¨C What? No! He''s definitely not strong enough for that. I''ll climb up and get her down. Lime did as he promised and got the little girl down safely. Lime ¨C What were you doing up there? Cyan ¨C And what''s your name? Jiyu ¨C My name is Jiyu! I was trying to find a Natu and got lost in the forest! Then I climbed up the tree to see if I could see Jojuji town from up there, but then I got scared cause it was so tall. And that''s how I ended up there. Could you maybe help me find back to Jojuji-town? Lime ¨C Of course we will! Cyan ¨C Get on my back! You look a bit tired so you can just rest on my shoulders with Kakuna! Cyan picked up Jiyu and held her on his shoulders. Jiyu petted Kakuna and slowly fell asleep. A few minutes later, they finally arrived in Jojuji town Cyan ¨C I''m gonna wake her up. Lime ¨C I don''t know about that, she''s sleeping so peacefully... Maybe we should let her sleep? Cyan ¨C We need to know where she lives tho. Lime ¨C That''s actually a good point. Let''s wake her up. Cyan ¨C Wake up little girl! We arrived! Lime ¨C Has no one been looking for you? Jiyu ¨C My sister should still be working, so she didn''t even know I was gone. She has to work all day long! Lime ¨C What about your parents? Jiyu ¨C ... Lime ¨C I messed up, didn''t I? Cyan ¨C Maybe. Jiyu ¨C I grew up as an orphan. That''s also why my sister isn''t my biological sister. Lime ¨C I see. Jiyu ¨C My house is over there! We can wait there until my sister is back! With Kakuna in her other hand, she pointed at an old run down apartment building. Cyan ¨C Then we shall get going! The three started walking to the shack. Once they arrived Lime and Jiyu went inside and Cyan sat down on a rusty bench on the porch of the apartment. Cyan ¨C Ima wait out here! Lime ¨C What, why? Cyan ¨C I want to take a nap! I''m really tired after that long walk after all! Lime ¨C Why did I even ask... Cyan found an old and dirty pillow under the bench and threw it on the ground in front of him, for Kakuna. He then closed his eyes and fell asleep. Kakuna made himself comfortable on the pillow and also fell asleep. Meanwhile, inside the apartment, Lime was making himself comfortable on the couch. Lime ¨C So when exactly will your sister be back? Jiyu looked at the clock, that was hanging above the entrance door. Jiyu ¨C In 15 minutes, probably. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope you enjoyed the second chapter! I''ll try to uploading one chapter every monday.
