After a long period of waiting, here's the sequel to Desperate Love. Though I do not own pokemon, I do own some new characters who will eventually show up in this story. This takes place some time after the Wallace World Cup Tournament.

The Tournament of Friendship

Prologue to a Story

I could feel the rain pelting upon my head, the feel of wet fur as it dampened quickly. The cold, chilling wind numbed my entire body. It was almost like I couldn't feel anything but the chilling rain falling upon me. I shivered every now and then, freezing cold and no place to go to get warm.

Up above, clouds of darkness covered the sky. Not a ray of sunlight shone through. I remained where I stood, gazing down into the reflection of the puddle of myself as it stared directly back up at me.

The first thing I noticed that my fur was completely damp and my fluff was sagging slightly, the water being soaked up like my fluff was like a sponge. Next thing I could see were my ears. They both drooped down along each side of my face. The fluff at the tips of each ear were also sagging, exactly like the fluff covering my lower body.

Moving along, I took a good look at my face. Where there should have been a bright, cheerful smile, there was a sad frown in its place. Where my eyes should have been full of happiness and joy, they were dead and lost, like all hope had left them.

My feet were freezing cold in the icy cold water as I continued to stare at my reflection. Inside, I could feel nothing, nothing but the beating of a hurting heart. It felt torn apart inside, like I was in the middle of an icy vortex of snow and wished to stay there. That's how alone I was feeling at this moment. No comfort, no warmth, no one to love me and be there for me.

I shivered again as the cold seeped through my fur and made contact with my bare skin underneath. I could feel the mucus running down from my nose. I didn't bother to raise an arm to wipe it away. I wanted nothing more to do than to cry, but no tears could be found within.

Suddenly, I heard water making splashing noises from behind me, though I was still in a trance, like I was off in another world. A hand being placed very gently upon my shoulder snapped me out of said trance and I slowly turned around to stare into the beautiful eyes of the only pokemon I let myself fall for by accident; the only pokemon I've been with long enough to allow me to screw up everything I once had.

I continued to tremble from the cold as I looked his strong, muscular body over and began wondering why I ever fell for such a pokemon as him. The words he spoke to me were so convincing, so gentle, yet so poisonous. I continue to stare into his eyes of triumph and wanting, knowing exactly what was going to happen next.

"Come with me," he breathed in a whisper as he slid his hand down to my paw and grasped it. He took a step back, trying to lure me to where he wanted me to go, but I stood firmly in place, keeping my legs stiffened so that I wouldn't move. I looked into his eyes again and I saw no sign of confusion. All I saw was the look of determination.

"I said come with me," he said a bit more determined.

He took another step back and got me to budge a bit. He began growling low as he began to pull a bit more tighter. I tried standing my ground, but he was much too strong. I felt his hand leave my paw for a split second before I felt both his hands grab my waist and fling me up over his shoulder.

I began kicking my feet around, struggling desperately to get out of his grasp, but he was a lot more stronger. I looked for a weak spot as he walked towards where he wanted to go, but I knew that there weren't many weak spots on a pokemon like him. However, my paws were free, so I found the only spot I could hit and prayed that my blow would take effect.

Raising my paw in the air, I quickly brought it down with full force with as much strength I could draw and made a blow with the back of his neck. The effect must have worked, for I rolled off his shoulder the next second and watched as he rubbed the back of his neck. He turned towards me, eyes glaring with rage and hatred now.

"You shouldn't have done that," he seethed through his teeth.

I barely knew what happened next. I felt a sharp sting slap across my face as all my strength diminished. My body wouldn't respond to movement. I could only lay in the ice cold puddle as I watched him place his hands around my throat. The look of rage and hatred remained in his eyes before they turned to looks of amusement as a smirk spread across his face.

"I'm going to enjoy watching you suffer," he whispered as he lowered his head down to my ear. "I will make you mine."

All I could remember next was the blackness of the dark enclosing all around me. His look of amusement was the last thing my eyes saw. My mind flashed through all the events that led up to this moment and the choices I made to wind up here.

("If I only fixed the mistake that cost me, none of this would be happening,") my last thoughts echoed through my mind as I slowly entered he void of darkness.
