I walk in the woods with Mercy flying ahead to scout. Balwin stays by my side to beat up any wild pokemon that comes near us. Leilani is asleep in her pokeball along with Minuet who complained about the long walk in the heat. Understandable since she is an ice type pokemon the glaring heat would cause her to be sluggish and weaker.
Echo let's not even talk about that rabbit. She ran off as soon as I released her out of her pokeball. I am ticked off at her for doing that and only giving me a see you at the raid den. I sometimes hate that rabbit. She hates me one minute then likes me the next. It feels like Echo cannot decide what she feels for me but at least I have Mercy with me.
Balwin stops me," Right up ahead is a really strong pokemon. I want to beat it up but I have to guard you." He whines pitifully tears stream down his face. He is such an adorable little battle hungry warrior. He looks at me his eyes lighting up with hope to go beat up something.
I sigh letting Minuet out of her pokeball," Balwin go have your battle. Minuet guard me while Balwin goes to beat up that pokemon." Balwin cheers in happiness rushing off ahead.
Minuet twirls sluggishly," This is not good dancing conditions for me Honey. You know I hate the heat with a passion." She does a few more moves before falling over from overheating.
When I reach down to pick her up something slams into me. Knocking me over on top of Minuet. I groan rolling onto my back holding onto Minuet.
"Hey are you okay?" I whisper carefully sitting up trying my best to not make any loud noises. Then I hear a loud crunch from my right side. My head snaped to the side and I see Balwin smiling happily while dragging Echo.
"Look who I caught sneaking around us," Balwin looks so proud of himself for knocking out Echo. He is holding her by the feet. I notice that Echo has bumps on her head eyes dazed.
"Was she the powerful pokemon that you sensed?" I return Minuet to her pokeball. Standing up I dust myself off.
Withour hesitation Balwin says," No she is not but I did find her aggravating the powerful pokemon. Then I knocked her and the other pokemon out. Then I dragged her back here." He looks at me with a praise me for what I have done face.
My eyebrow twitches," Good job Balwin you have done a great job of returning Echo to the group and beating up that powerful pokemon. Now Let's go to the raid den before it is noon to train and catch a new pokemon to join the team." I pat Balwin on the head and return Echo to her pokeball.
We continued walking for a bit until Mercy lands in front of me." Ah Ms. Honey ahead is the entrance to the raid den. Do be warned that it is a long way down to reach to pokemon hidden down there. There might also be other trainers down there already."
I groan," I wish Rain agreed to go with me, but then again he did promise to go with Henry somewhere. Now I will have a chance to be in the tournament if I catch a new pokemon soon."
Mercy hops over," Now Ms. Honey do not despair the trainers might already have a full team. Now let's go down there, and hope for the best."
Balwin drags me over to the entrance before I can reply," Come on let's go down and battle. I need to beat up another pokemon soon or I will go into the woods to find one." Then he looks up at Mercy," Or I might become desperate enough to to battle Mr. Stiff over there."
Mercy huffs," As if you can win against me Balwin. As I recall I beat you in our last training battle."
Before Balwin can attack Mercy, I return both pokemon to their pokeballs. I go to the entrance and notice a rope tied to a tree that hovers over the hole. I grab the rope and climb down to face a new challenge.
