An adult in Pokemon - Chapter 54 Neo Cerulean Part 2 Caves and discovery
‘Several jobs have been finished and I collected a lot of material for later.’ Thinking it over he had to find a way to think June for this excursion. “Well, at least we both found a fossil for ourselves.” Gray cleaned the remains and tucked everything away. “You ok June?”
“Yes. Just a little to much all at once.” June looked beat as she leaned against the wall. Her little Ralts came over and gave her some water before floating to set on top of Aron. “Thank you.” June looked over to Bill seeing him still at work. “Bill take a break.”
“Right,” Bill sat down exhausted. He looked a hot mess compared to her. He did not age well in the dungeon he went to previously. He turned to June looking hopeful. “Maybe it is time to head back?”
“Go for it. I am going to look around still once I rest up.” Gray reached into his pocket and ate a spicy Pokeblock. “Yum,” he grabbed the ones from the kit to give to his Pokemon next. They were full of nutrition unlike the one he ate on. “Eat up everyone.”
“You are still going to continue?” Bill asked surprised.
“Yeah.” Was Gray’s reply as he worked on his pokegear. “Hmm, this will work well.”
“I will head back. Coming Juniper?” Bill shook his head. ‘Kid is so full of energy.’
“No. I will stay with Gray.” June looked over giving him a wave. “Besides Aron likes it here. I doubt I get many chances to spend time in an area he likes much.”
“Right.” Bill took that for what it was and left it alone reluctantly. He packed his gear and tried to think of something to get June to leave.
“Gray, you did well. You didn’t cause a problem. I thought you would though.” June looked over with a smile. “Glad you could trust him.”
“I do not trust him at all. I trust you though. You said it was in the past so it is in the past.” Gray turned to her with a serious expression. “I can be civil, as long as nothing weird happens. That is why if you would have left it would not have mattered. I will do my thing. You will do yours. Besides, were you wanting me to become more confrontational?”
“Nope. Glad you trust me though.” June smiled and got up. “I am gonna search the safe zones with my Pokemon. I will call if anything happens.” June gave him a peck on the cheek and walked to the side.
“Alright, be safe. Actually Gale go with her. Good chance for you to learn human customs. It will also ease my mind a little knowing a strong Pokemon is with her.”
“That was bold of you.” Growlithe said walking up to Gray. You know that man’s intent and let it go. Why?”
“I cannot control what happens all the time. What happens will happen. If she goes back to him, I will feel disappoint for sure but..” Gray shook his head. “..To old to obsess over stuff like that.”
“I see. But.. nope.. your right. So are we going deeper in now?”
“Yup. All packed and ready to go.”
“That little bug is asleep again.” Growlithe said looking onto Grays’s shoulders. “He sleeps all day and barely does anything. What good is he?”
“Hahaha, it is because I milked him in the morning.” Gray stroked the little Pokemons head as it slumbered. Weddle horn was completely dry.
“Milked him? It’s a girl?” Growlithe asked in wonder.
“Haha no. In this case, it is referring to taking the poison. Doing so helps him produce more of the stuff. As well as feeding him more potent foods and his tailored diet. The ball he was in, helps his body grow raising his defense as well as keeping him healthy. That and slows his experience rate down some.”
“Thought you would have your fill with bugs after the forest.” Growlithe walked next to Gray slowly.
“Yeah for the most part. But I do like this bug Pokemon. Besides, it was a gift from June. It would have been in bad taste to make a fuss. Well if it was something I did not like, I would have.” Gray smirked. “She did good. It is great she knows how to help with bugs as well.”
“Uh-huh. Not beast type but whatever.” Growlithe said with pride. “I wonder what is down here?”
“Who knows.”
-An hour later-
The trio made it deep into the cave and found a wall. It was very odd. The siding was smooth to the touch. It looked man-made. Moving around they found a makeshift door. Gray sent June a message to inform her. He ran his fingers along the wall and recognized the language to be Latin. The other was written in a weird Pokemon script. In 30 minutes, June arrived out of breath.
“You could have just .. I dont know. Take your time.”
“No way. To important. These symbols are a great find. I cannot believe you got all the way down here. If not for your messaging the directions, I would not have made it.” June sat down exhausted. Gale moved over and turned fully human. She then waved a little ice over the woman to cool her off. “Thank you, Gale.”
“How badly did you push yourself?” Gray asked looking her over. He reached in his bag and applied some medicine to the bruises she developed. Simple quick work. “All better?”
“Yes. Thank you both.” June looked around and noticed all of Grays’s Pokemon looked well-rested. She then smelled the distinct fragrance of food. “Did.. did you cook while down here?”
“Yeah. It was time for lunch. The area was vented enough. So I cooked.” Gray saw her expression and couldnt wonder a little. “Oh, I know. Here have some. I should have realized you were hungry. How about you Gale?”
“I am good. I ate some berries in the cave.” Gale moved around touching the wall.
“Thanks for the food, Gray.” June grabbed it and started scarfing it down. “I used to much aura. I am starving.”
“That is fine slow down.” Gray grabbed her hand to actually stop her. “Seriously slow down. No rush. I rather you not get sick from fast eating.” June gave him a nod and ate slower. “That is better.” He looked to Gale who pulled his sleeve. “What is it?”
“This.” Gale pulled him into a deep kiss. Her cold tongue wrapped around his own before they parted. A little ice between there mouths. “How was it? June taught me.”
“Nice. Whew, really nice.” Gray exhaled some air from his mouth. “Different than the fire I breathe at times.”
“Gray I have a serious problem to discuss with you. You know that Gale is an older Pokemon right?” Gray nodded. “She has a shorter life span than most due to her fighting when she was younger. With your ability, you could make her live younger. But it would weaken you and that is not what we want.”
“Right. So what are you proposing?” Gray looked them both over watching for anything odd.
“That I become her living Pokesoul.”
“I can make it work with all the information you have gathered and with your help,” Chroma said appearing. “It will strengthen her as well as June. Something they both agreed on. Only one left is you to agree with it.”
“Negatives.”
“I will be with June more than you. I can separate as Chroma and Ori do. But that would use energy and make me tired. The longer I stay with June, the stronger we become.”
“If that is what you two want… It will be weird not having you around as much.”
“Yes. I do not want to grow weaker with age. I do not want you to grow weaker. I also like June enough that it should work.”
“Hehe, thanks. Gray how about it?” June asked. “This will give me the fighting instinct I will need for the future. Empress also agrees with this plan.”
“You should do it. I want her to live long enough for we can Duke it out one day at our fullest.” Empress said while throwing a few jabs. “Gonna beat her like a bingo this time.”
“Like a bongo hehe. Do it.” Gray said. He was holding in a laugh watching Empress throw her jabs. Her hands were becoming more polished. A few more levels and blessings, and he would see her human form she said. “If it hurts no one then it is fine. Keeps you both safe even better.
Gale lit up in aura energy as she touched June. The two fused in light. In a second it was gone. June looked to be a little more athletic and had a streak of white in her hair. The power between the two was intense. Gray felt a fleeting reaction. It was from the one from Latias and Latios. A portion of the power went out making June even stronger.
“I swear those two are always up to something.” Chroma said. She looked at Gray and watched as he stared on. ‘He doesn’t look weaker in any way. Was it because of those two? What are they up to!?’
“Ahhh that was great.” June looked at Gray and smiled. “It went perfect. Gale is going through my memories and I hers. I should become a lot better at fighting. Also or auras are growing nicely.”
“Good.” Gray walked over and hugged June. He ran his eyes over her several times before letting go. “Everything feels right?”
“Yesh. we didnt get any weaker. But at least the pack is stronger.” Growlithe chimes in. He then looked at the door. “Are we going inside? I feel something strong inside.”
“Mehhh, we will come back later.” Gray touched the wall and looked at the bubble that appeared.
(Trainer needs two badges to proceed safely. Warning chance of death high without.)
“You sure?” June asked.
“Yeah. With your current state and the fact it is late, we can come another time. In fact, after I get another badge we will come.” Gray then grabbed the attachment for his Pokegear. Using the little nodule, he recorded the marking on the wall that lit up. four different scans to cover all the directions needed for any hidden messages he could have missed. “I am done. June do me a favor and delete the messages from mapping and the GPS coordinates.”
“Umm ok. Does this have to do with your special job?” Gray gave her a nod. “Then understood. Chroma told me it is important. So I definitely do not want to mess with that. Hopefully, you tell me in detail in the future.”
“I will tell you when the time is right. It is my job, not his to inform you.” Chroma added. She was extremely serious when she spoke. Odd for someone who always goofs off. “Right now you are not strong enough to know. You will need to gather blessings yourself, or share with Gray to get more.”
“Hmmm ok.” June grabbed the dishes and gave them back to Gray in 20 minutes they were all packed and ready to go. Returning the Pokemon, they grabbed hand’s as Gray used psychic energy to float them up. Once furthur away down a few corridors he teleported them to the surface shack. “Whew, fun.”
“Yeah, defintely. I think I will turn these jobs in right quick then have the fossils revived.” Gray looked at his Pokegear and alerted the other parties he had to gather everything they requested.
“Oh, we can get them revived at Bill’s. He has a machine that can do it.” June added in off Handley. “He also invited us for dinner. Want to go?”
“Not really,” Gray said slightly amused. “Do you want me to?”
