Chapter 719: To the Rescue
Chapter 719: To the Rescue
"Doctor, how is Shedinja? Is it okay?", asked a red-haired man to a man who looked like a doctor with his white lab coat.
"Don't worry. It is just extremely tired. So it fainted. It would make a full recovery with a week of rest and it might wake up any time now.", replied the doctor.
Red took a deep breath of relief after hearing the report. If something happened to Shedinja, he didn't know how he was going to answer Axel.
"That is good Red. We just need to wait till it wakes up. I know for sure that Shedinja must have some information about Axel and the kidnapping.", said Oak.
After Cynthia found Shedinja fainted on the beach she immediately asked Garchomp.
"Garchomp,..."
"Yes, it is the Pokemon of Axel. I can sense it.", replied Garchomp.
"Good. It looks like we can now find the location of Axel. Let's take it to the hospital.", said Cynthia, and immediately called the doctors.
The ambulance came and Shedinja was escorted to the hospital.
"Cynthia, I think we should call Red and Oak about this. They must be worried about Axel.", suggested Garchomp.
"Yes, you are right. How can I forget about that?", said Cynthia and immediately called Oak.
She didn't have the number of Red but since she had met with Oak before, she had his number.
Tring.. Tring.. Tring..
Katchak!!!
"Hello, Cynthia. Why are you calling me cause I am very busy right now.", said Oak instantly. He was already frustrated with Axel's kidnapping case.
Cynthia's eyebrows twitched with anger. She wanted to say her piece but she knew that she was talking to the one and only Pokemon master. So, she had no choice but to be respectful.
"Sir Oak, I actually found Shedinja, the Pokemon of Axel. It is here with me at the hospital right now."
"Really? Tell me your location right now. I will come there.", said Oak.
"The location is XXXXXXX"
Just when she told the location, Oak cut off the phone, and within 2 minutes, she could see 2 men coming to the hospital. She instantly recognized both of them.
One of them was Oak and the other one was Red.
Red was the one to initiate the conversation.
"Where is Shedinja right now?", asked Red. This was not a request but an order.
This made Cynthia smile. There were very few people in this world who she could not mess with and Red was one of them. She had to be respectful but after hearing his attitude, she felt that she should work even harder to surpass him.
Seeing Red and Oak at the same time, the people started to gather around to ask for autographs. But Oak released quite a powerful aura wave that made them scared. So now there was no one except for Cynthia, Oak, and Red in the hall.
"Shedinja is in the hospital and it is unconscious. From the looks of it, it is just tired.", said Cynthia.
"Thank you for calling us. You have helped us a lot. After all of this is over, you can ask for a reward.", said Red, and then started to call the doctor.
###
After a couple of hours, Shedinja finally woke up. It saw that it was in the hospital bed with many machines near it. The doctor was notified about it and Red and Oak with Cynthia rushed inside the room.
"Marcus, how are you? Do you know anything about Axel?", asked Red.
Shedinja took a deep breath and nodded its head.
"So, where is it and how did all of this happen?", asked Red.
"We were in Violet City and I was inside his shadow. Suddenly some one made him faint and transported us to the plane. I wanted to know if I could take those guys on. So, I waited patiently. They could not find me but I found out that there were actually pseudo-champion rank Pokemon with them.
I felt that if I attacked at that time, I would not be able to do anything. So, I waited. It took around 2 days and they landed somewhere. I will still be inside Axel's shadow."
"That was a good move. You did well, Marcus.", commented Red.
Unlike other Pokemons in Axel's team, Shedinja had a good head and brain to execute something like this. If it was someone like Charizard, then it would have tried to fight.
"They took him to an underground base. I didn't go inside and decided to return. As I was trying to run away from that place, I came to realize that I was on an island and I didn't even know where it was.
So, I decided to cross the sea. It took me a month and I am finally here.", said Shedinja completing its story.
"Do you know the location of that island?", asked Oak.
"Yes, I know it. I can take you there."
"Good job. Why don't you rest for sometime? We will start to prepare to go there. Red we will be ready in half an hour. Make a plan on what we should do. We leave in 30 minutes.", said Oak.
"Can I come too?", asked Cynthia as this was an adventure that she didn't want to miss.
"Sorry, this is an important operation and I don't want extra baggage. You are a powerful trainer but you are still not at our level.", said Oak and then went out of the room.
Cynthia didn't mind the rash attitude of Oak. She looked at Red and asked, "So, what is the plan?"
"The plan is to go there, secure Axel first, and then capture the kidnappers.", said Red.
"So, there is no specific plan."
"No, there is not."
###
Axel's family was already informed about this information and they were hoping that Axel was okay. Shedinja had to go with them and it was getting ready to rescue Axel.
Shedinja was also able to meet with Squirtle but now it was not a Squirtle. It had evolved to Wartortle.
"Don't worry, I will bring Axel back.", said Shedinja to Wartortle.
Shedinja could tell that Wartortle was also very worried about Axel. Even though it had not spent much time with Axel like Shedinja, it was still the Pokemon of Axel.
"We cannot teleport there cause Marcus doesn't know the exact location of the island. It only knows the direction. So we would have to fly there. I will call out my Pidgeot and Oak will call out his Charizard to fly.
Marcus, you will be with me as Pidgeot is better at flying than Charizard.", said Red.
"Ok, let's go.", said Oak, and all of them flew toward the island.
The speed of Pidgeot and Charizard was very high compared to Shedinja. Shedinja was surprised that a Pokemon could travel so fast. If Pidgeot had not created a barrier to protect Red and Shedinja, then both of them would have fallen off.
The speed of both of them had created sea waves as high as 20 meters in the sky.
"Marcus, with this speed, how much time do you think it would take to reach that island?", asked Red.
"I don't know the exact time but I guess a couple of days.", replied Shedinja.
The journey that took Shedinja an entire month was going to be completed within 2 days. The difference in speed was too much for Shedinja to handle.
This also let it be humble and now it knew that it had a lot of things to improve.
###
'Wow, cannot believe that Squirtle evolved.', thought Axel.
Axel had already gotten the notification of the evolution. He was very happy for Squirtle. As of right now, he had already mastered 'Enhanced recovery' and was now in the process of mastering 'Enhanced health' to completely master 'Enhanced survivability'.
Axel could somehow feel that others were coming to his rescue as the health points of Shedinja had returned to normal. That meant that it had reached a safe place.
Even though he had made a lot of progress on this aura training, his body was still paining all over. For more than a month, he had been sitting on this hair. All of his body was paining. He was given very little food and water to survive.
It was only him being an elemental rank human that he was alive right now. L was very ruthless.
Suddenly the creaking of the door was heard and the door opened. Axel knew that this was not the other guy who would help him in the toilet and food but L. Their footsteps were very different.
"You are making me very helpless now. I am very bored right now. You have not called me for so many days.
But today something interesting is going to happen.", said L.
"Oh, what is this interesting thing?", asked Axel.
"Today I am going to meet with my boss to decide your fate. If they decide to kill you, then I will have a good enjoyment in doing so. Hahaha.", laughed L without any reservation.
"Why are you telling me this?", asked Axel.
"Is that another question?", asked L.
"No, it is not. You can choose not to answer.", replied Axel.
"Don't worry. I will answer it. I came to inform you cause we are friends."
"Friends?"
"Yes, friends. We may not have a good relationship but I feel that we would have been good friends if my boss didn't tell me to kidnap you. Sigh, but the fate is completely different.
I really commend you for what you have accomplished so far. Being a trainer from a humble background, you have reached such a state. But I guess you messed with the wrong people.", said L.
"Thanks for the info. I will be happily waiting for your return.", said Axel not bothered by the rambling of L.
"That is why I like you. You understand me. Since tomorrow might be your last day, I want to ask you for your final wish. Do you have any wish that you want me to do?"
"There is one actually. Why don't you keep me alive?"
"You know I cannot do that."
"Then, if they decide to kill me, why don't you extend the date of killing me without telling them?", asked Axel.
"Well, that is an interesting proposal. I may do that but why do you want to suffer for a week more?", asked L.
"That is my thing. Do I have to give an answer to that too?", asked Axel.
"No, you don't. Ok, goodbye. I will meet you tomorrow.", said L, and then closed the door.
Axel had a good feeling that they were coming to save him. He believed that Shedinja had reached a safe place and it had already told all of this to Red and Oak. So, they must be here in a few days. He just needed some time for them to come here and save him.
So, he started to count seconds. This was just a fun game that he had come up with. He would count every second from now on till they arrived. He wanted to calculate the time others would come to save him.
Meanwhile, L was getting ready to meet with his boss. L had to go away to meet with the boss and he was getting ready. The plane was ready to go and he entered the plane.
L didn't know that he had made a huge mistake in taking this journey at this time because Oak, Red, and Shedinja were rushing to the island.
