Chapter 2: Phoenix, Arizona

Sonic arrives in Phenac City right on the tails of those two henchmen Sonic spotted earlier.

Sonic wonders just what might be in that bag! A rare pokemon perhaps?

"Hey what are you doing? Get a grip, man!"

"Yeah, but it won't stop squirming! Makes it tough to hold on to!"

Bag: "Mgflpmmmgg... Beh! Help! Someone let me out! Kidnappers!"

A talking pokemon, perhaps? Those are rare!

"Tch! The tape didn't keep her mouth shut!"

"Oh drat, did that punk over there hear all that?"

"Since you overheard, we must settle this with a pokemon battle!"

As always, Sonic's speed settles battles almost as soon as they begin!

Folly: "Gah! You're tougher than you look!"

Lady in Suit: "Eek! Somebody! Robbers! They're robbers!"

Trudley (the second henchman): "Y-You be quiet! We're no robbers! We're kidnappers! Get it? Kidnappers!"

Embarrassed by that foolish confession, the henchmen leave. Sonic grumbled darkly, disappointed he only got to fight one of them. But justice has been dealt- the henchmen ran to the desert. They won't last long in the sweltering heat without their vehicle.

Sonic approaches the bag, determined to unveil the spoils of war. A rare pokemon perhaps?

"A human? Looks like those thugs were really kidnappers all along!" states Sonic wisely.

Girl: "Thanks"

I went with the default name.

Anca: "I was in Pyrite Town when I got kidnapped."

"Hold on right there! If you were kidnapped in Pyrite Town, to the west, then why did I see the kidnappers earlier at Outskirt Stand, to the EAST?" shouted Sonic, wisely!

Anca: "then why the fuck didn't you save me earlier"

Sonic growls in a edgy manner.

Anca: "Did they use any peculiar pokemon?"

Athlete: "No, they looked ordinary to me."

Lady in Suit: "It's easy to see something is on your mind! You should go see our MAYOR for his advice."

[Image: xkTH1Jr.png]

Anca: "I see. Well in that case we must go. Hurry up, Sonic."

Sonic: "Wait... why are you giving ME orders?"

[Image: JKDhFQb.png]

Anca: "Thanks for joining my party, Sonic. You're a welcome addition to the team."

Sonic: "Hmph! I only work alone!"

[Image: tFxQ7yK.png]

Anca: "We're partners, now, whatever that means."

Sonic: "Go away!"

And so Sonic left on his own journey. He didn't need Anca, he didn't need anyone! He would solve the mystery of the peculiar pokemon all by himself. Sonic was a pokemon master, and a pokemon master's job was to catch them all and go really fast while doing it.

Of course Sonic had no idea what kind of "peculiar pokemon" Anca had mentioned were, or how he would find him. But Sonic could feel in it his toughened, angst-ridden bones. He could feel something... something cool. Drawn to it, Sonic knew that was where the next step of his journey led.

Here.... it's here! The source of the cool aura... so bad...

[Image: edl2lde.png]

It's overwhelming!!!

IT'S SEPHIROTH!!! Sonic's hero!

??????: "Hm? I'd guess you're a traveling trainer. Hm... I like what I see in your expression. Fufufu... I have a feeling I may see you again somewhere."

[Image: eJYAqhI.png]

And just like that... the Sephiroth cosplayer leaves.

Sonic only just recovers from his awe and manages to muster up the will to choke out a word, "wow..."

[Image: 25z0MAS.png]

"Wow is right," says Anca.

"WHAT? Where did you come from? Have you been following me?" shrieks Sonic in surprise.

"Yeah. This is the mayor's house. I thought you were leading me here? Why, did you not notice me or something?" inquires Anca.

"I... I totally noticed you!" says Sonic, getting his cool back.

"Okay then, let's go in," Anca goes in.
