章節 95: Finding
"DAMN IT! WE HAVEN'T SHOWN UP IN AGES! WHAT THE HELL IS THE AUTHOR THINKING??" Jessie kicked a tree so hard it shattered.
"Maybe we've been abandoned. After all, we've always been seen as those annoying villains who show up in every episode. The author probably decided to stop including us on purpose," James muttered as he threw a branch into the fire.
"At least we're not as annoying as those kids. Pfft, those players are pretty hated by the readers, nya~," Meowth nodded, munching on a berry.
"BUT WE'RE VILLAINS! SO WHY THE HELL ARE WE ALWAYS BEING DEFEATED IN SUCH A HUMILIATING WAY AND THEN TOSSED ASIDE LIKE TOYS?! IT'S AN INSULT!!" Jessie raged, punching a tree so hard it toppled over.
"I'm surprised your hand isn't bleeding from that."
"This isn't a realistic or dark Pokémon fanfic, James."
"Well, you're right about that."
The three of them sighed, sitting together while eating berries. Suddenly, a pillar of fire shot up into the sky, startling them.
"...Is there a powerful Pokémon over there?" James asked.
"If so, that's great! We'll catch it!" Jessie said excitedly.
"Hey! Why do I feel like if we go there, we're just going to get blasted into the sky again?" Meowth said nervously.
"You're probably imagining things. If we really get blasted away in our own chapter, it means the author truly hates us," Jessie scoffed.
Suddenly, a lightning bolt struck their campfire.
"..."
The three looked up at the sky, which was still clear and blue with no sign of rain or storm clouds.
"...That was just a coincidence, right?" James said, sweating nervously as he looked at the other two.
"Uh-huh, sure. Let's go."
***
The three crept slowly and hid behind a bush. Carefully peeking out, they saw a glowing cave.
They waited patiently until a Pokémon emerged.
"Charmeleon?! Perfect!!"
"Shh! Keep it down!!"
Charmeleon was drenched in sweat, but the flame on its tail evaporated it instantly. It looked around and found a large rock, then began trying to lift it.
"Wow, look at those muscles. Impressive!"
Charmeleon tossed the rock high into the air, waited for it to fall, and caught it, causing the ground beneath it to sink slightly.
It repeated this process several times. At one point, it breathed a stream of blue fire onto the rock, heating it intensely.
"Isn't this supposed to be a kid-friendly fanfic?"
"Why you're asking me?"
Charmeleon gritted its teeth, enduring the burning heat of the rock as it caught it, and continued throwing it into the air.
Suddenly, Charmeleon noticed someone hiding in the bush. It caught the rock and hurled it toward them.
"AGHHHH!!!"
James and Jessie leaped out just in time, but Meowth didn't make it and got hit in the face, flying backward.
"MEOWTH!!!"
Meowth crashed into a nearby tree, losing a few teeth.
"I-I'm fine…"
Charmeleon glared at Team Rocket, making James and Jessie sweat profusely.
'I'm not getting paid enough for this!' James thought as he swallowed hard and forced a smile.
"Y-Yo, chill, my man. We're just passing through-"
A stream of fire barely missed James' cheek and hit Meowth.
"AGHHHH, WHY IS IT ALWAYS ME??"
"L-Look, little fire lizard, I'm telling you the truth. We were just curious about who was shooting fire into the sky, o-okay?" Jessie tried to explain sincerely.
This time, Charmeleon didn't attack.
'Nice one, Jessie!!!' James thought, tearing up with relief.
Charmeleon walked up to them and held out its hand.
"Huh?"
Charmeleon looked at them as if they were idiots, making Jessie almost lose her temper but she calmed herself.
"D-Do you want food?" James asked nervously.
Charmeleon nodded.
"But we-"
Another burst of fire hit Meowth.
"YOU JERK!!! WHAT DID I DO?? DID I PLAY WITH YOUR MOTHER OR SOMETHING??"
This time, Charmeleon unleashed the aqua-blue fire, making Meowth faint from the intense heat.
"...You know what? I just remembered I have some candy and berries in my bag. Out of respect, we'll give you everything! Deal?"
"James! That's all the food we've managed to gather!" Jessie protested.
Charmeleon launched another flame at the unconscious Meowth.
"Okay, calm down! We'll give you everything!" Jessie said quickly.
But before Charmeleon could take their food, it noticed another Pokémon flying in the sky.
It was Pidgeot!
Charmeleon growled, then bolted away at full speed, leaving James and Jessie frozen in place.
"We're saved…"
"UWAAAA!! We didn't get blasted into the sky!!"
James and Jessie hugged each other, crying like children.
However, Pidgeot landed and stared directly at Team Rocket.
"H-Hey… I swear we didn't do anything, I'm telling the truth," James stammered, trembling as Pidgeot's piercing gaze locked onto them.
We just avoided danger, and now we're in another life-threatening situation? Is this a joke?!
For some reason, Pidgeot continued staring at them, making their faces turn pale with fear.
Wait a second... this Pokémon looked oddly familiar.
"HEY! DON'T TELL ME THAT'S THAT BRAT'S POKÉMON?!" Jessie shouted in panic.
Seriously? Since when does the twerp have a Charmeleon? James thought to himself.
Suddenly, a golden thunderbolt struck Team Rocket.
"HCWKCMEOFHEKW!!!"
The three let out incomprehensible noises as electricity coursed through their bodies.
Out of nowhere, an explosion erupted, blasting them into the sky.
"WHAT DID WE EVEN DO WRONG??"
"DAMN IT, AUTHOR! HOW MUCH DO YOU HATE US??"
"Why is it always me getting hit? Is it because we're just comic relief?" Meowth groaned, regaining consciousness.
The trio looked at one another, took a deep breath, and yelled in unison:
"THIS FEELS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!!!!!!"
They disappeared into the sky as a faint burst of light followed their trajectory before fading away.
Meanwhile…
Pikapi… (He's not here...)
Red gently patted Pikachu's head, glancing around the area.
Blue picked up a branch that had been charred black and stared at the cave entrance.
"It's pretty clear that Charmeleon left right before we arrived. Chances are it ran into those three and took off for some reason," Blue hypothesized.
He turned to Red.
"This is just a theory, so don't overthink it, okay? Want to hear it?"
Red nodded silently.
"There's a chance… Charmeleon is intentionally avoiding you, Red."
