Chapter 57 - Mt.Silver (II)

"Lumos"

A ball of light appears in front of us, illuminate the dark cave. As I cast the Lumos spell, a few dozen Golbat fly from the cave, startled by the light coming from my spell. Most of them fly away from us, but a few of them decide to attack us.

I raise my spear and begin to defend myself from the incoming attack. After blocking all the incoming attack, I begin to charge at one of the Golbat and thrust my spear at it. The Golbat uses its wings to block my attack using its wing and uses it to push away my weapon.

However, before the Golbat could push away my weapon, I twirl my spear and make a swing attack from the left, and when I see the Golbat block my attack, I kick it from the right. When the Golbat loses its balance, I reinforce my spear, hardening it before thrust it toward the Golbat who loses its balance.

*SCREECH*

The Golbat releases a screeching sound when I stab it in the eye with my spear. When the Golbat is trying to pull out my spear from its eye, I push it even deeper and then cast a wandless Blasting Spell at the Golbat.

The spell hit the open mouth of the Golbat and killed it instantly. I look to the side and see Lucina already finished her fight the same with all of our pokemon. I nod at them and ask them if they need healing. Seeing them shake their head, we continue our journey.

We continue to walk deeper and deeper into the cave. After walking for a few minutes, we encounter a Machoke punching the boulder. When the Machoke looks at us, it jumps in our way and challenges us in battle.

"Lucina, let my pokemon fight him."

When she nods her head, my pokemon begin to charge at the Machoke, who welcomes both of my pokemon in excitement. They started the fight with a boom. Leo uses a headbutt while the Machoke welcomes it by punching Leo's headbutt.

Both attacks are strong enough to create a small shockwave.

On the other hand, Jojo flies in the air and begins to attack the Machoke by creating a wind blade with his wing. The Machoke grunts a little before he throws Leo away and begins to where Jojo is located.

Jojo keeps firing his wind blade and a gust of wind to keep the Machoke away from him, but the Machoke uses its fist to punch all the incoming attacks when the Machoke near Jojo jumps high in the air and punches him in the face.

Jojo lost his balance for a few seconds, but he successfully maintained his balance and continued to fly in the air. Leo decides it is time to attack and spew a massive fireball, and the fireball hits the Machoke.

The Machoke got burned by Leo fire, but it was not stopped there as Jojo created a tornado, and combined with the fire coming from Leo, the tornado became a firestorm that roasted the Machoke alive.

When I see the ball stay still for more than five seconds, I pick up the ball and place it on my belt. I smile a little and look at my companion before continuing our journey.

We follow the path inside the cave, and after walking for ten minutes, we see a way to the upper floor. We decide to go to the second floor seeing nothing is interesting on this floor other than a few pokemon that only want to be left in peace.

When we arrive on the second floor, I can hear a screeching sound. However, unlike the screeching sound of Golbat from earlier, this sound is different. I look around the area, but I cannot see the source of the sound with the limited view of the cave.

I decide to push more mana into my Lumos spell, and suddenly the Lumos spell shines brightly, and in the corner of my eyes, I see a floating pokemon screeching in surprise when my spell shines brightly.

"Uni attack!"

Before I could say anything, Lucina already told her pokemon to attack the Ghost pokemon. It is a Misdreavus. While the Misdreavus blinded because of my spell, Uni attacked the poor pokemon with her wing attack, and after Uni attacked the Misdreavus, Lucina threw her Pokeball at the Misdreavus.

The first attempt failed. However, after the Misdreavus got out of the Pokeball, Uni attacked the Ghost Pokemon once again. Still, this time she did not hold back and attack the Misdreavus with her wing attack and throw the ghost pokemon to the wall creating a massive web-like pattern on the wall.

Seeing the Misdreavus unconscious, Lucina throws her Pokeball, and this time, she succeeds in capturing the ghost pokemon she wants to capture.

"One down, two to go!"

We explore the third floor for ten minutes before we encounter what we are looking for: a Larvitar. When the Larvitar sees us, it hisses at us before charge at us. Leo and Jojo are the ones fighting the little Larvitar.

The little guy uses its little feet to do a flying kick at Leo. The attack hit Leo's head, but it was not strong enough to hurt him. Seeing its attack did not work, the little Larvitar growled a little before releasing a dark pulse from its mouth and shooting it at the Arcanine.

Leo flinched a little when he felt the dark energy hit him, but it didn't affect him enough to make him scream or howl in pain. However, it is enough to make Leo annoyed. Leo punched the little guy hard enough to throw it away from him and create a web-like pattern on the wall.

When I see Larvitar try to stand up, Jojo creates a gust of wind to throw the little guy once again. This time, the Larvitar did not wake up and stay on the ground unconscious. I throw the Pokeball, and I succeed in capturing Larvitar in one go.

"Two down, one to go."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When we finished our search the Mt.Silver after we had all the pokemon we wanted, Lucina has four more pokemon: Misdreavus, Sneasel, Larvitar, and Makuhita. I also get myself four new pokemon under my belt. Machoke, Larvitar, Absol, and Onix.

As we get out of the cave, the sun is already setting. We decided it is time to go home. We let our pokemon go back to their Pokeball, and I take out a piece of metal from my pocket dimension.

This piece of metal is not your ordinary metal. This metal is a portkey that I already set to transport us to the pocket dimension portal location.

"You are ready, Lucina?"

"No, I'm not."

"Yeah, me too. I don't like this kind of transportation, but this is the only thing we have if we want to go back fast."

".... Can't we just make a camp around here?"

"It is dangerous, you know? I don't think I can sleep with that many wild Arbok around us ready to eat us."

"How about we stay among the Donphan?"

"Huh. We can try that."

I release Jojo from the Pokeball and ride him. Lucina also releases Uni from the Pokeball and rides her before taking off to the pack of Donphan we encounter in the morning. After flying for a few minutes, we arrived at where the Donpan pack was located.

When we land on the ground, the Alpha Donphan looks at us and bows a little. After bowing at the Alpha Donphan, I explain to it about our circumstances, and the Alpha Donphan nods his head before making some noises, and suddenly the pack makes a place for us.

I thank the Alpha Donphan and take our tent out from the pocket dimension and begin to set it up.

Today we have camped among the giants' pokemon, and I like it.
