Part5 of Lash’s time has come
___________________________________________________________________________________
Last time, Lash ran into a troublemaking troupe! The leader, a Poochyena, stole his material needed to survive. After they made off with his things and scolding a rather pitiful Sentret gal, he sets off into the brush in pursuit of them.
Back in town, inside the castle actually, we see Queen Inildera coiling around her throne and her expression showing annoyance. Not a second too soon, Little Scarlet comes rushing through the door equipped with what seems to be a thin layer of chain mail, worn like a shirt. Of course little Pinkitue had to tag along.
Scarlet: I’m sorry Mother! I’m running a little late. Li’l Pinki had made a mess and-
Inildera: Late you are! What if I were in grave danger and you showed up with a silly excuse like that? You’d be looking at your fallen mother, regretting taking such time for a petty excuse. *Scarlet practically shrunk before her Mother* For your tardiness, your training will be twice as difficult. Perhaps you’ll think about getting here on time with the consequences in mind, young one.
Scarlet: *She jumps a bit, taking a small step back* B-But mother, I couldn’t help it! Little Pinkitue made a mess and the tea would have stained my table cloth if I hadn’t-
Inildera: Pinkitue? You mean your disgusting little plaything? You were late to your all-important training session because of some horrid little germ-toy?! What is the meaning of this…Childishness!? *She moves her head in, moving it beside Scarlet, speaking in a more quiet tone* If you’re going to become a glorious ruler in the future, you’re going to have to remember your poise, little Scarlet.
Scarlet: A glorious ruler…*scarlet mumbles these words, remembering Lash’s big dream* Before we start, Mother, I wanna know some stuff about brother. *She turns towards Inildera’s head with eyes full of worry*
Inillera: *She quickly returns back to her royal seat, grunting in disgust* Hmm…Fine, but no more after this, understood?
Scarlet: Alright, uhm. C-could you tell me about Lash and where he’s gone? He said you told him to do an errand in the next grass village, but I dunno. He seemed kinda serious about doing something so simple. Is there another reason for this?
Inildera: Oooh, right. That. Mmm, Listen, your brother is a big and strong Snivy. I didn’t send him on any errand. He’s off to live his life as a king, young one. He won’t come back unless he is a full grown Serperior like myself. Do you understand?
Scarlet: Ah! Full grown!? Won’t that take forever? I can’t stand to be away from him that long, mother! We’re that close.
Inildera: I wouldn’t care if you were Siamese twins! It is destiny that he leaves and rules. Don’t bother asking me about the main rules around here. Ask your Arceus forsaken father.
Scarlet: Oooh, Speaking of father, where is he? Maybe I and Pinkitue can get the facts! Yeah!
Inildera: How about instead of veering uncontrollably from the main subject, we start your training, yes? You tend to get carried away when excited, Scarlet and you know how much I HATE that…You wouldn’t want mother to get upset, now would you?
Scarlet: *Hopping in place, she quickly stands at attention* Oh no, of course not!
Inildera: Then prepare yourself before heading to the training SIM. If you defeat 5 waves of oncoming attack, you’ll be done for then. After your break, you’ll try and hold your own against me as your opponent.
Scarlet: !! You!? I-I don’t wanna hit mommy! I’ll feel bad for trying to hurt you. *The Serperior grimaced, quickly extending a vine from her sleeve to snatch the little plush toy away from Scarlet* Ah!! Lady Pinkitue!
Inildera: If you want your silly little toy back, you’ll have to grow a back bone! Grow out of this state of childishness and fight for what you care for! *The Queen stows the pika-plush underneath her throne, hiding it away behind the cloth flaps*
Scarlet: *Knowing there was no absolute way to get her plush back without fighting, she had a thought. Lady Pinkitue was a little piece of Lash she used to remember her brother by. Her mother just took Lash away from her! She couldn’t stand knowing that. She knew there was no other way to get her brother back without trying to lie or trick her mother. Her eyes swelled remembering the times she had with her lovable brother, Lash. In her mind that was most certainly worth fighting for* F-fine…I’ll do it. I’ll fight for Lash to return!
Inildera: What on earth—I see…Do not cry young one. I am most positive your brother will return one day as strong as his cowardly father! *She chuckles, unraveling from her throne* Well it still stands. Prepare yourself and enter the simulation room. I’ll return after 2 hours.
Scarlet: …right.
And so Scarlet prepares herself and heads of into the simulation room behind the throne. Once more Inildera’s laughter could be heard as the door slowly closes behind little Scarlet.
We come back to Lash who has treaded very deep past the brush and into a large forest. He’s bounded large rocks and rivers so far and still no sign of the Poochyena or the Rattata who made off with his backpack. The young Prince climbs a great rock and stands atop it. From where he stood, he could see much of the forest below, and still saw no sign of the two or anything that could work as a sort of housing.
Lash: Aah. Curse this ridiculous area. I can’t find the fools’ hideout. If only I had a better view of things. *He makes his way down the large boulder and finds a nice spot of shade to rest in. He falls to his rear and leans against a nearby tree* Nothing works out the way I’d like them to. Why, WHY!? I’ve planned this and that thoroughly and yet it never goes according to plan. *After a brief bit of silence a bit of rustling could be heard nearby. Quickly hopping to his feet and holding the thieves’ red ball threateningly, his eyes pace scouting the area* Who goes there? Show yourself! *Not a second too soon, out of the nearby hedge came the Sentret gal from before. She still wore that pitiful expression on her mug.* Oh. It’s only you.
Sentret: I-I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you. I heard you talking, and-
Lash: So now you’re stalking me. Oh how wonderful. I do ask why nothing works out for me. Honestly!
Sentret: Nono! See, I heard that you couldn’t find Poochyena’s den, so I thought I’d help you get there…
Lash: Listen, unless you know exactly where they reside, you are of no use to me. Skedaddle, you sad little thing.
Sentret: I…well, I was a part of their group, you know. Now that I’m not, I can lead you there easily. I-I mean if you’ll let me… *She shies away, blushing slightly*
Lash: Puh, I say! It’s believable, but you WERE part of a thieving, lying bunch! Who’s to say you won’t be leading me into some trap to get back into their troupe?
Sentret: I thought you’d say that, s-so I stole something from them. *She reaches behind and pulls into view what seems to be a small pick ax. Lash’s eyes widened in surprise and quickly scoots close to her*
Lash: W-where did you—WAIT! You stole this from them for me? *He blinks looking a bit dumbfounded* Even…after those things I’ve called you?
Sentret: *She shakes her head* Mm-mm. Don’t worry about it. I guess you could say even after you yelled at me, I still saw the good in you. *She holds forth the ax for him to take* If this doesn’t prove my help, I-I guess I’ll see you some other time.
Lash: Nono! This is great, I trust you wholly now! If you stole what was rightfully mine from those thugs…*He takes the ax hands her the ball her and the other two were playing with* We can do it. Lead the way, Sentret lass!
Sentret: Ahah! P-please, call me Seral. *She turns completely around and makes off for the road agead*
Lash: Hm! Seral…Oh wow, was I that far from the den? *He laughed embarrassed, following the sentret gal*
As the two made their way through the trees and tall grass, Lash confronted Seral.
Lash: So, Seral? I wanted to know something. Your leader said something about you. “She -owes- us!”, Is what she said. What exactly does she mean by that?
Seral: Well…Her and that rattata rescued me from drowning one day and I didn’t want to leave their side. That’s when they were nice to me.
Lash: They were nice to you at one point? Tuh. From what I’ve seen, they’re anything but.
Seral: I know. Anyway, after that, we all came across the town, but were denied access into it because we were foreigners. We’re not from the town, you see. So, uhm…I stole some ID from some other pokemon and we were able to get in. It was too late that I found out that they wanted in because they wanted to tissue the castle.
Lash: Wait, so you and the other two were the ones who did that!? Mother made me and Scarlet clean up the place!
Seral: Oh, I’m sorry. I-If you keep me around I promise to make it up to you.
Lash: It took literally 4 days to clean up the place without rest! WITHOUT REST! Your pay back had better be worth it.
Seral: *She pretty much just ignores his words, looking forward* Ever since then, they’ve been treating me bad because I wouldn’t participate in their troublesome ways. *She suddenly stops her walking and Lash collides with her, making him stumble back a bit*
Lash: Ow, why did you stop? *She points up ahead and reveals a flattened path of grass.* Hey, they’ve been through here huh? From the looks of the grass, they came past here not too long ago.
Seral: Mm-hm! You’re absolutely right. Let’s go. *She starts off before Lash quickly grabbed her tail, stalling her movement*
Lash: Just hold on a sec. *She turns around looking confused* I want to say a few things. So…when we get there, we’ll unleash our anger upon these two, or…or are you not good at fighting?
Seral: I-I can fight well, but…actually I feel sort of bad for leading you to the ones who saved my life, but since you’re in need and are lost, I’ll help you with whatever you’d like! No matter what. *She spun around and rushed down the path, leaving Lash behind* C’mon, I know a secret way inside!
Lash: Okay! *Lash dashes for Seral, easily catching up. Running by her side, they closed in on Poochyena’s den.*
The run was brief as they already had made an approach to an entrance. Lash looked around and noticed that they were standing atop the den which was covered in a bunch of leaves*
Seral: I’m sorry, but only one can fit in this entrance at a time. *She speaks while removing the leaves and covering* I’ll be inside shortly after you. Hurry, your scent is way different from a mammals’.
Lash: Right! I know what that is! Mammal, right! *As soon as Seral moved the last of the leaves, he jumped on inside falling through the thin manhole rather easily. Sliding through the tunnel and falling through the end, he lands in a pile of straw and dead grass. Quickly hopping to his feet, and revealing his vines* SHOW YOURSELVES, PEONS!
