A Pokemon Story

Chapter 9
Sandstorm

The near outskirts of the town where very scarcely inhabited and the countryside in brackets, started of quite quickly. That is if what you consider countryside isn’t grassy plains and giant valleys of trees and flowers and green stuff in general. Rocks and boulders embellished the ground and the roads, although being wide, were empty most of the time as no cars really drove away from this side of the town. Fact wasn’t that it led nowhere but on the other hand it didn’t really lead anywhere either. The next inhabited area was really far away and in between were little places for people to stay. Good thing he had taken his ‘How to have a good trip while on foot’-manual with him, he thought. That was meant to be ironic, he didn’t really own one.

The weather kept being balmy but more clouds approached by the hour and even someone not trained to be a weatherman could predict some bad weather coming up. The sky turned from light blue into a dirty beige colour, which looked a lot like a bright afternoon sky, with the sun going down somewhere behind those clouds. That was probably what everyone would assume. However, Chris knew better. The farther he walked, the more severe the effects of the upcoming sandstorm were. The wind got colder and his sight got weaker. Some reasons to believe he got nearer to his target with every single footstep he did. Only did he end up having two of them, one of which he didn’t have a proper way of dealing with it. Like a father being angry over his disobedient child, he had to look for that Azelf shown on TV earlier. Arceus knew what trouble it would get him into.
