Chapter Four: Irony sweet Irony.
Deme was alone. His best friend was nowhere to be found. As he entered the small cave they called home he saw much to his surprise that a swarm of Crobats had nestled at the roof of the cave.
“You have to be kidding me…Seriously? Of all the cave dwelling pokemons in THIS world it had to be Crobats? Great just great†He said mentally cursing his luck.
Deme thought that he had to be silent; Crobats have an extremely good hearing and the slightest sound he could make would cause them to go on a rampage which would probably resort to his death with a dozen of blood sucking bats feasting on his corpse… After all Crobats were natural predators and he was a scavenger…
“Ok here goes nothing…†Saying that he began to slowly make his way deeper in the cave
He was half way there; hopefully Wander would be hiding at their resting place. As the two straw beds reached his line of sight Deme felt that something was not right, the snoring Crobats made had stopped.
Slowly turning his head so he could look back he saw five bat like pokemon… Purple bat like pokemon… With four wings…
Somehow he had managed to awake them and now they looked at him like he was an easy meal with fur.
Not wasting another second he run further only to see an enormous Ursaring blocking his way.
Dead end, end of the line, the end he was done for either he would get his blood sucked dry by the Crobats or eaten by an Ursaring.
“Come on deme think! What can you do to escape? Perhaps use an attack or two?â€
Using Baby-Doll Eyes would earn him nothing neither would Quick Attack; Ursaring was far too fast to get away using it. That left only a couple of other attacks left : Helping Hand which was also useless, Refresh also useless at the time being and… Baton Pass!
If he used Baton Pass he would switch places with the Ursaring! But he had only one shot at this.
“Here… goes NOTHING!!!†He said charging at full speed at the bear pokemon.
At the last second he touched quickly the Ursaring, causing a golden pulse to travel from the place he touched to all over the bear pokemon’s body while he thought of the place he was seconds ago; which was a definitely eight steps away from him.
And it worked! The Ursaring was now where he started to run! Wasting again not a single moment he used Quick Attack to gain some distance from the pokemon who were chasing him only to reach the end of the cave.
“Awwww dead end again?â€
All of a sudden he heard a familiar voice speaking. It was Wander!
“Deme over here!â€
“Wander? Where are you?â€
“Over here to your left!â€
Deme looked the opposite way confused causing Wander to mentally face palm himself.
“The other left Deme… the other left…â€
A small crack was barely visible on the stony wall. However it was still large enough for an eevee to hide.
Entering the crack Deme reunited with his lost friend.
Wander Iron Tailed the eevee next to him earning an ouch from his friend.
“What was that for?!â€
“That for leaving me all alone!â€
Wander used Iron Tail on Deme again this time managing to get him a bit angry.
“Now what was that for?!â€
And Wander said with a smile: “Because I am happy to see you alive!â€
“I am happy to see you too Wander…Now what to we do? We can’t stay holed up in here forever!â€
Wander poked the stone surface behind him causing the wall to collapse.
“We will just get out Deme, unless you want to stay here?â€
“Was that sarcasm?â€
“Nah†Wander said gently tackling Deme causing him to trip and fall down to the ground. “Now move it Deme! We need to find some food and shelter! It looks like it will rain soon†He said pointing at the slightly cloudy sky.
“Ok Wander let’s go!â€
