章 63: The Ruin Town (4)

Austin and the group rested up. They cleaned themselves after taking a small breather. They then began to have breakfast. The group decided that they should take sometime to figure out what they should do. Going through that forest will be tricky. Who knows what strong Pokemon is even there.

Each person went to do their own thing. Lilly went to the pond to take a bath. Tony was scouting the area with hitmonchan. Grey was laying down with seismitoad keeping watch. Austin decided to tame the Snivy now. It's been overnight and it serious injuries should have stabilized. Although it's not completely healed and can't fight, it should have the strength to move around.

Austin asked his Sylveon to stand watch. He then released Snivy. The minute Snivy was out it attacked with a bluish breath. This attack shocked Austin as it shouldn't be able to learn dragon breath at this stage at all. It breath attack had no effect on Sylveon. Sylveon roared at it and then whipped it with its ribbons. Snivy was pushed back and fell on the ground. It stood up and stared at Austin.

"Hey little guy, no need to treat me as your enemy. I saved you from all those shiinotic. My Pokemon charged in and the pokeball you were in healed a bit of you injuries. Your not fully recovered. You must be hungry have some berries and bathe yourself in the sun." Austin said while placing some berries in-front of it.

Togetic was looking at Snivy with curious eyes while it sat on Austin's head. It chirped and flew towards the nervous Pokemon. It then released a warm aura to calm it down. Austin always knew that togetic Pokemon can spread happiness with their auras. The aura of his togetic was strong. It just wasn't to the level Austin wanted. He needed to find a riolu as soon as possible. The reason for that was it could help both him and his Pokemon learn how to use aura.

This way his togetic can better utilize it's strength. If he found for it a top level shiny stone, one that contain a large amount of energy. Then his togetic can evolve to a much stronger togekiss. Sylveon also began to communicate with the little guy. It pushed the berries toward it and wrapped its ribbons around Snivy.

"Snivy you probably have been alone, fighting for three years. You are strong but weak compared to my Pokemon. How about you join my family. To be honest I feel lucking coming out to look for the ruined town. I was able to find a good partner out here. I can see both togetic and Sylveon are getting along with you." Austin said as pulled some more berries out. Yes Austin used berry bribe, giving him to tame a Pokemon without battling.

Sylveon the oldest Pokemon rolled its eyes at Austin. It understood him the most. He can have Snivy join him without an issue yet he keeps trying to bait them with food. As it thought this, it saw Combusken and Noibat come over, who also began to explain to Snivy how much food the boss had.

Snivy feeling the friendly atmosphere and sensing the honesty in Austin's voice, roared in return. It also began to eat its food to show it sincerity. Austin deep inside was delighted, 'yes my berry bribe art has broken through successfully.'

After this small episode was over everyone gathered to discuss there plan.

Austin started talking first," do we have to pass from the forest to get to the ruins. Is there a safer route."

Lilly shook her head and responded," honestly we only have a general location of the town. The person who saw it didn't have precise coordinates. All I know is that through the forest we will reach a rocky area. It was said that the town was somewhere in that area."

"The rocky area is bigger than the forest and there are much stronger Pokemon as well. Rumour has it the elite Pokemon are very common in this area." Grey added.

"Is there truly no precise route? Well I have a plan on how to pass through the forest. Well have to recall our Pokemon. Now a single one can be out unless they can remain hidden like my Noibat. Well cover ourselves with the dirt of the forest and use these masks I prepared from the city. Well also have to transverse it now as Shiinotic and morelull are usually inactive in the morning.

Well go through the forest and if any Pokemon come out we'll use repel like in the ordeals. Do you guys have any questions?" Austin said.

They all agreed with his plan as it seemed plausible. Lilly had her Zoroark who can easily keep hidden. "That sounds like a plan. If only I knew where the ruins were."

"Don't worry I'm sure we'll find it eventually." Austin said. Sylveon called to Austin. He saw it being followed by Snivy who seemed like it wanted to say something. It looks like his Pokemon over heard the conversation and they wanted to help. Sylveon intertwined its ribbons around Austin to explain its thoughts.

What he found out shocked him. It appears that Snivy knew where the ruins was at. It left past that place since their wasn't any food left.

Austin went to Snivy picked it up and began to rub its head happily. Snivy was a little nervous and was gonna lash out. The sudden intimate action from Austin calmed the little guy down.

"Guys this little fellow knows where the village is at."
