two - Chapter 1

It was all clear skies around this part of Infral. The City-Which-Rocks, governed by the autocratic rule of Lord Who Rock, has seen its fair share of quiet moments these years. Well, almost, except for the Lord Who Rocks' victory in Infral Idol and the chococrunch field incident a few months earlier.

Ray is still on the loose, and the lord has been getting more impatient with each day. His army of sorceresses had been searching everywhere.

The news of the chococrunch field that Ray had caused had by now, spread all over the city and perhaps, even to other parts of Infral. Ida Harfan and Shane Hui were among the first to know, for the couple lived just beside Ray's farm.

On that fateful day, Shane had been out in their sugarcane fields doing push-ups and crunches to maintain his large biceps and abs, while Ida was busy cooking breakfast in the little hut by their field.

Just as Shane was going back for more peanut oil for his bodybuilding session, he heard a rather loud sound of chocolate flooding Ray's wheat fields. The rest was history.

They had chococrunch for the whole month.

----------------------------------------
It had been many months since Ray had went off and they were missing him already. His friendliness and cheerfulness had been sort of taken for granted by them already, they realized.

It was a hot afternoon when the couple heard an explosion at the wheat field that used to be Ray's.

"Bloody !@#$%^! What happened?" Ida exclaimed.

Shane felt this was the time to take control of the situation and show his male dominance.

"Come my love, we shall see what is the commotion about. With me around, you shall have no fear." he announced confidently.

A voice resonated in the room. "Hey, I'm coming along too!"

That came from Edin, brother of Shane. Being more handsome, smarter, stronger and generally more likable than Shane, he was rather popular when he entered Infral Idol recently. He lost out to Lord Who Rocks in the final, who won with a whopping 99% majority.

He had even beaten Ray in the Semi Finals. Which was a great feat considering Ray's appeal among the aunties.

Edin emerged from his room. He had been writing a new strategy book for Pokemon Pearl recently. He's thinking of adopting Sun Tzu's strategies inside this new book.

Shane agreed to let Edin come along reluctantly, ruing his lost chance to appear manly in front of Ida.

Little did they know that the trip to the now chococrunch-field was about to turn into a journey of a lifetime.
