Hello. This is my second fan-fic, but I decided to close the other one due to the over-dialogue. Hope you like this one though.
Chapter 1: The Encounter
They lie low among the foliage in the mountains, trusting it to cover their hues. Two soldiers, poised and ready to leap into action as soon it appeared, crouched still in bare silence. Their Pokemon, evenly trained, waited orders from their trainers. They kept silent as possible, and move just when it is necessary.
"What time is it?" the first soldier, clad in green uniform, asked. He had the air of a very experienced soldier, and his badges, pinned at the sleeves of his soldier clothes were the proof. He was known as Sal for that was his codename. The Top Soldier gave the codename to him because he could do surveillance in the Sea, Air and Land, with his Pokemon. At normal times, he would be seen wearing his Major clothes, and standing straight, barking orders at everyone. but this was one of those times were you can see who he really is. He wore his soldier uniform, and pinned on his badges. He ordered the surveillance with the air of superiority, giving his comrades the sign that he was in charge. He was, in short, bossy.
""Nineteen hundred hours, Major." This soldier might be new. Every new soldier emits a happy-go-lucky aura whenever they were at the headquarters, and he was glowing with it. When they were in the battlefield, new soldiers practically gave their positions away, and only a few managed to keep their heads with them. This one must be one of the few,Major Sal thought to himself. The new soldier was trembling in fear, yet he was fidgeting in excitement. Good, it means he was ready to go on. He nodded in acknowledgment to the new soldier.
"They will be nearly here." Major Sal said. He glanced towards the south. The sun has set a few hours back and the mountain was shrouded in an impenetrable darkness. Another thing that will hide them, major thought. He surveyed the surrounding area with a practiced eye. He was keeping look-out for the enemies' frontman who would clearly keep everything away from the troops. A rustle among the bushes in a nearby tree aroused his suspicion. The new soldier, whose name was Diether, also caught the movement and sent out his Pokemon, an Absol. Sal ordered Diether to wait while he make the first move, "Poliwrath." He turned to look at his Pokemon, who was lying low at the grass. "Stage 1 Water gun." Poliwrath released a small spray of water from his mouth at the tree. Something rustled again, and Diether tensed. He was frightened. By the darkness, by the excitement, by the war. The rustling continued, and out came a Hoothoot, hopping madly. It flew away in search for a new home.
"I thought that was the frontsman." Major Sal whispered to Diether and Diether merely nodded. He was too tensed up to move, and sweat was blinding his eyes. He wiped them off and immediately watched the route below. It was a craggy one, full of rocks and boulders. A perfect place for ambush, Diether thought. Sal raised a hand, flashing different number codes. 4-3-5-4 came. His Noctowl silently swooped to him in a nearby tree. "Noctowl, search the area behind that hill." Noctowl immediately followed orders. They were waiting for the enemies' supply committee, the group that would carry the food supply to the enemy. That was their goal. To raid the supply unit of the Red Troop, as they were told to do by Top Soldier Beta.
After a few painstaking minutes, Noctowl came back to report. Sal's Noctowl were one of the few Pokemon to learn communicating with human via telepathy.
"They are here." Noctowl said to Major Sal. He nodded, then gave another signal to his Skuntank. This time it was 2-1-3-2., Skuntank went to the Major. It crouched again without making even the slightest noise. Major nodded to Diether, signaling the start of the mission. Diether called on to his two other pokemon,a Gardevoir and a Primeape. They too were tensed like their Trainer, but also seem as ready. A low rumble was heard all over the place, and a big group of soldiers and Pokemon were marching in the craggy route and guarding what it seems like a truckload of food. Sal raised his hand in preparation to give his signal. His Noctowl prepared to strike with a long range Psychic, his Poliwrath ready to shoot a Focus Blast and his Skuntank ready to release it's stench. Diether held his gun, but he knows he was not yet ready. He looked at Major Sal, and nodded. Sal started to point his hand at the unit but something swift held his hand.
"Bad luck, Major." the voice said. It was a large man, wearing the uniform of the enemy. "Bad luck." He laughed an evil laugh and crushed the major's hands. Sal grimaced in pain, but he managed to form a 2-5-3. Retreat, Diether thought.
"Gardevoir, Teleport!" Diether shouted. He closed his eyes and Major did the same. They tried to reach the familiar feeling of being teleported, but it never came. Sal opened his eyes to look, and immediately knew why. A Trapinch and a Wobbuffet was standing near the red guy, and both of the Pokemon's abilities was to ensure that they were trap.
"Stupid! We're screwed!" Sal cursed. He gritted his teeth and thought of another plan. Sweat began to form in his forehead.
"Trying to escape are you?" the red man laughed once more, and punched Sal squarely in the chest. Blood poured out his mouth. "Tell me. what are your plans?" the man punched him again.
"5!" he shouted. The man seemed confused for a while, but Diether understood. 5 means A and E: Attack and Escape. Sal's Pokemon atacked Wobbuffet while Diether's Pokemon attacked the Trapinch. Both Pokemon seemed to hold off a little, before fainting.
"Shoot!" the man cursed. "HQ! HQ! we are under attack! Reinforcements! Over!" the man shouted in his speaker phone. No response. "Well, I'll be damned." He shoot Major Sal in the chest, just inches away from the heart. Diether watched the scene as Sal fell slowly to the ground. Sal's Poliwrath caught him while hie was falling and Skuntank, togethr with Diether managed to push the man off the mountain. Diether ran to Sal.
"Major! Major! Wake up! We still have a job to do! Major!" he shouted. He checked for any pulse, but there was none. Diether looks so defeated. His Gardevoir came up to him and he said, "Mission Failed, Gardy. We failed." Diether sobbed as Gardevoir teleported him, Sal's body and all Pokemon back to the HQ.
I minimize the dialogue as shortly as I can. Any comment is welcome! i'll be adding the next chapter once I see any mistakes I've made. Thank you so much!
