Aiero Nortez
The night was very menacing, scaring Aiero. Even the thought of walking outside in the dark scared him. He wondered how he managed to accept the deal he made with 5 others. Escape? Out of this place? He must have been spacing out and somehow accepted. Even so, he wouldn't break that promise, even if it meant going into the darkness outside. Chimchar was reasting on his shoulder, Jolt standing right beside him. The Pikachu pointed to the window, and also the airvent.
"B-but...I..I haven't sneaked out before....," Aiero stuttered, scared.
"Pika pii!" Jolt begged, giving him the sad eyes. Jojo didn't reply, but hugged his neck in fear as well. Aiero took deep breaths as Jolt ran towards the air vent. Struggling to take the metal cover off, Jojo pointed to the window. The Rocket grunt in front of them was currently distracted with some wild pokemon. This was their chance.
Rushing towards the window, he hesitated in lifting it. It was until Jolt shocked him a bit that he immediately lifted it up. Quietly enough to prevent anybody from hearing him, he leaped out and landed like a cat. When he set eyes on the Rocket Grunt not too far away, he froze with fear. The Viridian Forest was not that far away, just a few meters off. Luckily, where he slept at, his dorm wasn't that far away at all.
Jolt's tail tugged at Aiero's leg, making him snap to reality and slowly duck down. Crawling as the bushed around his shelter hid him, the grunt was fairly busy with some other important task. Jojo was still hugging his neck, closing his eyes in great fear of the darkness. His fire started to grow brighter the more the fear grew, Jolt starting to take notice. Once they turned a corner, they stood up and glanced around. The Viridian Forest was not far.
"R-ready J-Jolt?" he stuttered, yet was able to keep a serious tone. The Pikachu nodded, slowly pacing towards the corner. He took a peek, then dashed off towards the bushes in front of them. Leaping inside, he poked his head out and motioned for Aiero to come next. His legs were like jelly, his heart going at the speed of a rocket. Aiero has never done this before, never in his life! He felt as if he were breaking a big law, which he was doing at this very moment. If he were caught...oh no! The pain!
All of a sudden, both Jolt and Jojo heard the footsteps of two grunts. Jojo stuffed his head in Aiero's hair, too afraid to even look what might happen. Aiero was even more shocked, even to the point of fainting. Jolt hid in the bushes, Aiero looking around for a way to escape. He was between two buildings, the roof not far up. Maybe if he had some distraction.....
As if on cue, Jolt dashed between the bushes and started to growl out of the blue, catching the grunt's attention. Aiero took the chance of his sacrificing pikachu. He leaped and let his legs land on the wall, then immediately pushed off and landed on the next wall, except higher. He repeated the process, everything happening so fast. By the time he landed on the roof, thanks to his great athletic ability, Jolt managed to escape from the grunts.
"What was that? A growlithe?!"
"No...but some dum pokemon who can't even face us!"
"Yeah, you're right!"
They continued to laugh it off, Aiero laying low as he tried to search for Jolt. It took a while, but he saw a spark not far off. It was followed by two ears that exactly resembled a Pikachu's. It was Jolt. He was very close to Viridian Forest, Aiero still worried about the Rocket grunts not far off. Instead, he crawled from roof to roof, quietly jumping off and landing on his four's on every roof as silently as a mouse. Finally, he reached the roof that was closest to the Viridian Forest. When he crawled to the edge and looked down from there, he was relieved to see Jolt standing underneath. He was smiling as he looked back up as them.
"Jojo.....you r-ready?" Aiero gulped, new at escaping. As the monkey nodded, he slowly stood up and then leaped off. He landed, on all four's as always, on a soft patch of grass. Looking up in alert, Jolt caught his attention with his wiggling tail. The next second, Jolt darted towards Viridian Forest. "We need to wait for the others!" he caught his pikachu's attention, who quickly darted back. He scratched his head with his tail. Once he remembered, he opened his eyes wide and nodded. Aiero walked over to the roof again, letting both Jolt and Jojo climb up first. He took all the strength he had and placed it on his legs, preparing to jump. Once he had the roof as his target, he released the energy and leaped up. Able grab a hold of the roof's edge, Jojo and Jolt helped him get up the rest of the way. Once up, he panted out and layed on his back.
The three pokemon glanced up at the stars, enjoying the view. This wasn't so bad afterall. This was the first time they got to watch the stars from the roof. Even better....he can find 5 new friends, or he hopes he does.
