Bryce groaned as he crawled out of bed. Arceus told him, get the the top of Mount Coronet. How could he leave? If he left by ferry, his parents would catch on. He couldn't Fly out of there, seeing as Kite couldn't support a person. Even if he'd gotten to Sinnoh, he wouldn't know how to get to Mount Coronet. He released Kite from his Quick Ball.*
"Hyah!"
Kite, out of his Pokeball, immediately formed some weird Kung Fu stance, but Bryce wasn't impressed.*
"Kite, be more serious, will you? I need to get to the mainland and I need some ideas on how to get there..."
Kite swooped up to the window and pointed at the ferry with his finger.*
"Without my parents knowing."
Kite began talking in his usual high-pitched voice. Bryce thought he was trying to be annoying, actually.*
"Wouldn't they just sweep the entire continent after the find out?"*
"Gyaaah!" Bryce facepalmed. "Guess I have no choice then."
"Moooooooom!" Bryce yelled, recalling Kite then gliding down the stairs.*
His mother turned around, but Bryce was already at the door of the kitchen. "I need to get to the mainlan-"
"You're going on an adventure already?" She smiled and led him to a cabinet. Inside was a large campimg bag. "Inside you'll find all you need."
Bryce opened the gigantic camping bag and sure enough, there was a rolled up sleeping bag, among other essentials. He couldn't bother to look through the contents. "Uh, OK, Bye!"
That was... awkward, he thought.*
"Wait!"
His mother stopped him before he took a single step out of the house. "You can't leave-" Bryce froze. "-without having a Pokemon Battle with me first."
Heaving a sigh of relief, he grabbed the Pokeball from his belt and released Kite. *This would be easy. Until-
"Go, Zapdos!"
Bryce's jaw dropped as the terrifying force that was Zapdos stood before him. It didn't seem to be exerting any kind of pressure, meaning...
"Kite, use Agility!"
Kite began to circle rapidly around his opponent. Similarly, Zapdos began to fly in circles.*
"Kite, Aerial Ace!"
Suddenly, Kite faded, before skillfully swooping close to Zapdos- "Zapdos, Protect!" -And colliding with a transparent force. Not like it hurt or anything.*
"Use Quick Attack!"
Before Zapdos could retaliate, Kite landed a solid hit. The bird let out a faint cry, then...
"Zoroark, Night Daze!"
Zapdos slowly faded and instead, there stood a Zoroark, ready to strike.*
"Combo 11B, NOW!!!"
Kite began to use Agility, then as Zoroark turned to aim, Kite let loose a Thunder Wave.*
"No, don't let Emolga stop you. Keep at the Night Daze!"
Zoroark, Paralysed, slowed down a little. Then, Kite landed an Electro Ball and hit Zoroark hard, but failed to knock it out before it let loose a Night Daze. Kite clearly looked fazed, and wasn't doing too well either.*
"Roost!"
Kite landed, more out of exhaustion than command. Opportunity struck.*
"Zoroark, Nasty Plot!"
"Kite, Quick Attack!"
Zoroark began cackling evilly, and that meant it's power was doubled. Another Night Daze, and Kite was out. As it began to laugh it's last laugh, Kite collided into it and... It fainted.*
His mom grumbled. "Take the ferry to Snowpoint, but before that, go brush you teeth!"
Bryce swore that when she nagged at him, it was the equivalant of a Nasty Plot. Oh well. After a good brushing, he emptied the bag and took only the essential essentials, like the Sleeping Bag and some food (who knows how long it's been there?), and made a detour to the Pokemon Center to heal up Kite, then headed for the dock.*
Walking up to the somewhat crowded ferry, a sailor stopped him.*
"Kid, let me tell you something. Ever since them Flying Types died, we've been in business! Years ago, everyone just used Fly and went around. We-"*
"Whatever."*
