//------------------------------// // The Hunter Returns // Story: Luna's Pokémon Journey // by Norwegian boy //------------------------------// Still on Izabe island, the trio of trainers had stumbled over a placed called Trapinch underground labyrinth, the surface of it anyway. They were now standing right in front of many holes that Trapinch had made. “Of all the places we have to cross, and it had to be this place, what a pain.” Said a Shadow with annoyance in his voice. He had never been to this place before, but he has read about it. “Just be careful where you step, you don’t want to fall into one off these holes, one can be lost in the tunnels under us.” Said James while he started to walk very carefully. “Are there really Trapinch in those holes?” Luna asked the former champion. James stop and took off his backpack, he took out a sandwich and threw into the hole and as soon as the sandwich hit the bottom, a Trapinch pop it’s head out and eat it. “Does that answer your question?” Luna decided not to ask any stupid questions. They started to walk again, and they were very careful not to step wrong. Then all of sudden the ground under Luna’s feet collapsed and she was headed towards the bottom. “Luna.” James tried to grab her hand, but he was too late to save her, he could only watch as she fell through the hole. “Not again.” He said. “You say that like this has happened before.” Said Shadow. “Maybe not this but Luna has a habit to end up in situations like this.” He started to look around. “There’s should be an entrance to a lake nearby if we are lucky a Trapinch will lead her there.” He then started to run, Shadow and Charmeleon followed him. Luna fell through the hole and she finally reached the end she landed on the ground with her butt. “Ow, that hurt.” She said while getting up and rubbing her it. she then decided to have a look around and all she could see was holes that was probably dug by Trapinch, which had many exit. Great, how do I get out?” She asked herself. She was about to try one off the tunnels when se heard something behind her, she turned around to see a Trapinch walking towards her. “Maybe this Trapinch can show me the way out.” The ant pit Pokémon just walk past her, just minding his own business. “I guess I have no choice.” She followed it. After five minutes of walking, Luna had enough of it all. “Just how long is this tunnel?” She asked the Trapinch, but she got no answer. “Sometimes I wish that Pokémon could talk human language.” When she finally saw light at end of the tunnel she was great by a marvellous sighed. “Wow.” What she saw as a giant lake with a small green forest around it, the light came through the sealing lighting the water shing, it was utter breathtakingly. “This island is full of surprises.” She then watch as the same Trapinch walk over to other Trapnich, which stood near the water and it was many of them, she could see at least twenty of them. Then all of them started to glow and grow, they got wings and then bunch of Vibrava was there. Luna couldn’t help but smile of what she saw. “Awesome.” This world has somethings that makes her want just give up, but it was things like Pokémon that made it worth it all. Then out of nowhere a metallic net came out of nowhere and caught all of the Vibrava. “That was to easy.” Luna froze when she heard that voice, she recognized it, it belong to the same man who tried to steal Numel from Julie. Luna look in the direction where the net came from and she was right, standing by a truck was a man with green overalls and a red shirt, he also had black beard. “You.” She said with venom in her voice. The Pokémon hunter didn’t notice her at first. “Huh?” He look over where she was standing. “Well, well. Isn’t the same girl who got me arrested last time, it’s been a long time sweetheart.” He said with a disgusting smile on his face. “Not long enough, what are you going to do with those Vibrava?” She asked him with anger in her voice. The hunter couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “What do you think, I am going to sell them on the black market, they are going to fetch me a good price.” He told them as he loaded them up on his truck. Luna’s hand started to shake. “I won’t let you.” She took out a Pokéball. “I won’t let you leave with those Pokémon.” She shouted at him. The hunter keep on smiling. “Do you really think I’m going to let you beat me like you did last time, think again.” The hunter took out his own Pokéball and threw it. “Come out Golem.” Out came a Pokémon Luna knew all too well. She threw her own Pokéball. “Go, Ivysaur.” Out came the seed Pokémon. “When I beat you, I’m going to take your Pokémon and sell them all on the black market and make a tone of money.” Luna was disgusted when she heard that. “That’s not going to happened you sick human being.” Then hunter just ignored her words. “Golem, use rollout.” Golem tuck himself into a ball and started to roll towards Ivysaur. “Use razor leaf.” Ivysaur send away leaf’s towards the incoming Pokémon, the attack just bounced right of the megaton Pokémon which made Luna’s eyes to widen. “What?” Ivysaur was hit by the attack which made him fly backwards. “If that’s your best then this would be easier then I expected.” The hunter told her as Golem rolled back to him. “Keep on attacking Golem.” The Pokémon rolled towards Ivysaur again. Luna wasn’t sure what to do, his Golem is still as strong as last time and Ivysaur wasn’t strong enough. “Use take down on Golem.” The new voice came from behind her and when she turned around she saw a Pokémon that looked like a giant version of Aron running towards her, then the Pokémon ran past her and collide with Golem witch made the megaton Pokémon to flew towards the truck, on impacted Golem destroyed it and the Vibrava was set free. When Vibrava flew of it really upset the hunter. “Oh, come on.” While he was distracted. “Ivysaur, capture that man with vine whip.” Ivysaur send out vines from it’s bud and managed to capture him, Luna couldn’t help but smile when he was caught. “Luna.” She look behind her, she saw James, Shadow and Charmeleon running towards her. “Are you ok?” James asked her. She nodded. “Yes, you got her just in time.” “You should thank Shadow, it was his Larion who managed to take out Golem.” She was grateful for that. After they had managed to get out of the maze, they called officer Jenny to arrest the hunter. They watch as she drove away with the hunter. “I really hope they lock him away and throw away the key.” Said Luna. James nodded in agreement “Me to.” Shadow look between the couple. “Have you two met that man before?” He asked them. James decided to answer him. “Yes, we stop in when he tried to steal some Numel’s from a girl I know.” Shadow just nodded. While they were talking, Luna decided to see the data to Shadow’s Pokémon who was standing beside it’s trainer.. Larion the iron armor Pokémon and the evolved form of Aron. Larion tempers its steel body by drinking highly mineral spring water until it is bloated. This pokemon makes its nest close to springs of delicious water. She then look over to the boys. “Hey James, Larion looks like a smaller version of your Aggron.” “Of course, Larion evolve into Aggron.” Luna couldn’t help but smile. “Why don’t we all get away from this place, I hade enough adventure for one day.” Luna and Shadow agreed with that.
