Ch. 8 The Manipulator

In the Berry Forest on Kin Island, Curt, Avery, and Erika while participating in the berry hunting contest, come across their fellow competitor and friend Camille whose been hypnotized by a wild Hypno.

    “Camille are you okay?” Erika asks edging closer to Camille.

Suddenly Druddingon leaps out toward Erika its fangs glowing with heat.

    “Gon Fire Punch!” Curt says throwing out a pokeball before a Flygon comes out and intercepts Druddigon with its fist aflame.

    “Thanks Curt; what’s wrong with her?” Erika asks as she looks worried for Camille.

Avery looks out towards the Hypno and looks into Camille’s eye’s noticing the blank expression in them.

    “She’s been hypnotized by that Hypno.” Avery says observing the situation.

 Curt and Erika look confused at this statement unable to understand what he means.

    “There are various reports about Hypnos using their hypnotic powers to hypnotize people and manipulate them.” Avery says explaining things.

Avery says looking at the group with a determined look in his eyes.

    “I have a plan but I need some time, please distract it.” Avery says with determination in his voice.

    “Okay, keep it up Gon Earthquake.” Curt says to his Flygon.

    “Okay let’s go Rose, Magical Leaf.” Erika says before unleashing her Roserade into the fight.

While the pair fight off the Druddigon and Avery stays in the back watching the ensuing battle.

    “Now Zon, Night Slash.” Avery screams out.

Suddenly a Weavile comes out of hiding amongst the trees attacking Hypno from behind knocking it out, Camille and Druddigon then fall over after being released from its control.

    “What just happened?” Curt asks looking around.

Avery then sits down seemingly tired from the proceedings before his Weavile returns to his side.

    “Well it takes a lot of energy to hypnotize more than one person at a time, so maintaining it for a while takes a large amount of concentration and energy. So knowing that I had Zon get close to it, with its pressure ability it causes it’s opponents to use twice as much energy to use its attacks; so after it used to much energy to hypnotize anyone else I had Zon attack to knock it out.” Avery says explaining things.

A while later Camille starts to wake up alongside her Druddigon and looks around curiously.

    “What’s everyone doing here?” Camille says while she and Druddigon look around confused.

On the other side of the forest Kara sits on a stump in a quiet isolated part of the forest.

    “So you’ve found the agent.” A mysterious voice says from behind Kara.

    “Yes, he’s a boy around my age named Zachary.” Kara says answering it.

    “Is that all there is to report?” The voice asks to Kara.

    “The Unown have started moving a lot more eventually even regular people will start to notice them.” Kara says as she looks up towards the sky where she sees several Unown flying over the forest.

    “Good work, keep tracking them and try to avoid drawing to much attention.” The voice says before fading away.

All of a sudden a mysterious shadow comes out from behind her flying into the sky.

    “Yes sir.” Kara says still looking up at the sky.
