As the campsite was cleaned up, Crys decided it was time to practice. Serenity assigned special objects to do the job. The trainer had set up various things in other places.
"Okay, Crys. I decided to go at it on a different approach to train you. Here we have three objects. Each object is hidden somewhere. This is a scavenger hunt, and in which you have to find the items." The trainer said simply.
Crys wasn't really taken aback at this. She raised an eyebrow. "This sounds too easy. The catch is..."
"The catch is that I have to give you a clue before we begin. For each clue you solve, you will find one item. And on that item will give you another clue. On the last one you find, you can keep that item. Here is the first clue. 'Into the light, I gaze, cleverness is without a doubt with me. Into the east I lay, I shall not be easy to find.' "
The Kirlia thought long and hard for a moment. It could mean that she has to go east, but there isn't any other clue on how far east will be. So she thought again. It could be that the number of words on that clue is how many steps she have to take. So twenty-four careful steps eastward later she faced a bush. "Great, a bush." She tried to reach into it but it won't let her. "What gives?!"
"Think about the clue again..." Serenity answered.
On upon thinking the clue again, the Kirlia looked up in the sky and saw it was cloudy. So, she summoned the sun with her Sunny Day attack. The bush suddenly had a hole in it and as Crys looked inside it, she saw an Espeon plush toy. With her psychic powers, she picked it up. A white tag was on it. It read, 'Many a time I wonder if the world will ever change. The gale wind of the north calls upon my name.'
The Kirlia sighed. ?So upon reading this, I'm guessing it's twenty one steps to the north.? The two walked north, facing a rock. The Kirlia used Icy Wind on it, revealing a Suicune plush toy. A white tag was on this one too. It read, 'Up to the north, surmising to the west. The south east wind is what they seek. Wrapped in an enigma of the blue fiery depth, twists and turns are in order. Up in the sky the encircling gang of bullies rule, it's up to one to show them what for.' The Kirlia, smirked, as looking up to a tree, something shiny caught her eye. Focusing on one branch she teleported up there and saw two crystal bracelets. As she was about to reach out for them, a few Spearows tried to knock her out of the tree. It worked, but Crys safely teleported onto the ground. In the sky's clearing was the three beady little eyed bird, cawing out to the twosome.
?Uh, sorry, Crys. I forgot how protective birds are to shiny things.?
?Well, Serenity, I think it's time to train.? She said with a smirk on her face. As she did, a Thunder bolt fainted the winged bullies, making them drop to the ground. ?Easy. One Shock Wave was enough.?
?Not quite. Crys, look.? She pointed to the blue. One bird was looking down on them, enraged that it's offspring has fallen. The Fearow dove down for a drill peck. It definitely has made Crys step back in pain.
?Ow... That hurts!? Crys cried.
?You'll get used to that. Shock Wave, Now!? Serenity commanded.
~*(Why are you commanding me?)*~ The Kirlia spoke telepathically.
'Look, I'm the trainer now. I have to look convincing. Please Shock Wave.'
~*(Guess I have to behave like the Pokemon huh. )*~ The Kirlia fired a lightning bolt at the Fearow, which surprisingly hasn't been diving downwards.
?It must be stronger than it looks... Icy Wind!?
A cold, chilling wind came through, which made the Fearow a bit sluggish, unable to make an attack.
?Now, really focus your energy for this one! Psychic!? The trainer shouted.
The Fearow glowed a bright icy blue as it was strained by the Kirlia. It fainted under pressure.
?That was an easy match. Maybe we should seek better practice partners...? The girl sighed.
The Kirlia levitated upwards and snatched the two bracelets, placing one on each wrist. ?I should agree. So, anything else I should know??
?Not really, but-?
?But what??
?How do you humans change clothes??
The Kirlia anime-fell at this but suddenly laughed. It would most certainly be an interesting but difficult journey.
