18 18 Viridian Forest Part 2 (1/2)

It has been a week since they had entered the Viridian forest. As for why they are still in the forest is because they are ....

LOST

Yes they lost. They were indeed lost.

” I should have never followed you. i should have known with how careless you are. Did I tell you how much of a idiot you are. Let me tell you you are a fool. idiot, buffoon heck even a Slowpoke is more intelligent compared to you. DID YOU HEAR ME LANCE?”

Alex roared at last.

” I am sorry ok I am sorry. ” and look at the bright side ”aren't we going out for a Adventure so exploring the unknown is adventure. Let's head onwards to adventure.” Lance excitedly said.

While Alex, his hidden Haunter and his butterfree on the head looked at him blankly.

and Alex added,” I have never seen a shameless person like you. you bastard”

” What shameless. I am telling the truth.”

Lance countered.

The group travelling through the forest got lost because Lance said he knew a shortcut and believing him Alex followed. But they only headed deeper into the forest and got lost. Hell if it wasn't they were stronger than average trainer they would have even lost their life. This time almost all their Pokemon are battle tired. Of course they are just mentally tired not physically so if there is any threat they could counter it.

This also helped improving their battle experience, energy control and battle sense ( they don't need to always command their Pokemon. They have now become fairy autonomous as they group battled multiple Pokemon.)

Once they battled a Beedrill colony then a Spearow and fearow then Rattata's heck they even encountered a nidoran herd headed by Nidoking and survived only because Butterfree was able to confuse it making room for them to escape.

So in a way we can say they had multiple near death experience, this also strengthened their bond. Earlier they could only be considered more than acquaintance but not friend ( not enough to disclose about their family) and now they are almost like friends who know each other since childhood.

Heck they even cursed each other but still trusted the other enough to let him have his back. He even told him about his Trump card, Haunter and the mystery about the forest.

So even if they are playful they are vigilant to any slight chance of danger. They continued to travel unknown that two pair of eyes in the shadow had been observing them.

Meanwhile with the shadows,

” Sir we got news that there are two more trainers around here. if we get them our task will be complete.” said a grunt.

” Then catch them quick. We are running out of time. Also how many are transported?”

asked the boss.
