The Icy Cave

[glow=white,2,300]The Icy Cave[/glow]

The darkness of the night fell like a black curtain on Ben and his two Pokémon. A very cold breeze sliced through their makeshift campsight, smouldering their fire, as the three slept quietly. Ben awoke violently to the sound of the wind howling loudly.

"Brrrrr.....Are...yo..you guys okay...?" He asked his two companions, who were snuggled up warmly in his extra sleeping bag.

"Torchic chic. Mud kip mud" Torchic and Mudkip replied.

"Man it's freezing...out here, I h..h..h...hope we reach the top soon." Ben spoke shivering slightly. "Torchic could you light another fire, I can hardly see."

Torchic took a deep breath and then shot firey embers onto the charred wood. The loud scream of a Pokémon burst loudly. At once Ben knew what had happened; A Pokémon had noticed the warm logs and taken a rest then had gotten itself burned from Torchic's attack.

"Poor, thing...I still can't see though....where's that flashlight..." Ben spoke as he rummaged around in his backpack. "Aha...there it is...." Ben said triumphantly as he clicked it on. There sitting on the charred logs was a....

as the light grew, Ben saw a Pokemon known as...

Seel/Male/Thick Fat

...it's large eyes were very watery and teary as it rubbed the burn on it's tummy with his chubby fin.

Erm....I don't want to be picky or anything but isn't Seel just a Water type?

(Ok i'll just finish the story)

Ben stared down blankly at the Seel. "Are you ok little buddy?" Ben said as he slowly walked over to it.

"Seeeeeeeel Seel!" The Seel cried loudly as Ben approached. Terrified it would get hurt again it quickly flopped off to the north.

"Wait! Seel, you could be seriously injured!" Ben shouted after the blubbery fish-like Pokémon. Ben signaled for his Pokémon to follow him and then he tore off after the Seel.

Ben struggled through the fairly deep snow, Mudkip and Torchic on his shoulders. He walked a short distance and then noticed a small cave up ahead.

"Hmmm....He must've gone in there...." Ben pondered. Slowly he walked into the cool icy cave. "I can't see a thing....Where'd I put that flashlight?" Ben fumbled around in his pockets. He finally grasped the flashlight and clicked it on. Standing right in front of him were two, very large, pure white Ursaring. They seemed to be angry that Ben had just walked into their home.

"Easy there big guys. I was just about to leave..." Ben said nervously. Then he noticed something move behind a rock in the back of the cave. It was Seel, he would get himself into even more trouble if those Ursaring spotted him.

"I guess I've no choice. I'll have to battle threw these two to save Seel." Ben thought. "Poseidon use Hydro Pump! Enyo use Flamethrower!" Mudkip and Torchic stared ate Ben blankly. Is he crazy!? They thought but they were loyal to their master and each blasted one of the Ursaring with a strong attack.

While the four were fighting Ben saw an opening. He dove for the poor little Seel. "It's gonna be okay Seel, come with me." He whispered. The Seel reluctantly hopped closer and Ben picked him up and then looked around the cave for some sort of escape route.

He noticed a fairly large wooden object that the Ursaring must've taken from some weary traveler. Ben quickly leaped for it. He hopped on and slid across the icy floor and out the cave opening.

"Poseidon, Enyo, hop on!" Ben called over his shoulder. His trusty Pokémon quickly jumped onto the back of the makeshift sled. The chilly quartet screamed as the shot down the icy mountain with the two Ursaring growling in the distance.

Finally, after a short sled ride, they came to a halt at the campsite Ben and his Pokémon had set up.

"Are you okay everyone?" Ben said, catching his breathe. The three nodded and hopped off the sled.

"So how about it? Wanna join our team Seel?" Ben asked the blubbery little Pokémon hopefully...

Seel tilted his head sideways slightly, staring at the group. A sorrowful look crossed his face, but was soon washed away with cheer and bliss. He blurted out a loud "SEEL!", causing Ben's smaller Pokemon to topple backwards. Seel then nodded gleefully at his new trainer, Ben!

OOC: Good story, nice descriptions. However, please try to make your stories longer in the future; short ones are kinda boring. Other than that you did pretty good! ^^
