This story is the second part of a five-part story. If you have not read "Forbidden Love: The War Within", I advise doing that before continuing any further.

Here's a link to Forbidden Love: The War Within: www . fanfiction s/12579659/1/ Forbidden-Love-The-War-Within

Welcome to chapter 1! After a year of writing the last installment, I've dropped a few habits, learned new methods, and dealt with hardships. I believe I've grown a lot since the beginning of this story. This has turned out to be the biggest project I've ever created. I think there's a lot of hype for this next part. Either that or I'm delusional. All I know is I'm excited to bring you guys more and I hope you enjoy what you see. PBM and I have quite a lot in store for you. But besides that, I'm pretty sure you guys want to get to the chapter already. But before you go, I want to get you guys thinking. Who was in Zane's head in the last chapter of the first part? Perhaps you'll find out. Now without further ado, I present to you chapter 1 of "Forbidden Love: Titanium Will Never Rust" by xX-xeXeeD-Xx! I do not own Nintendo, Game Freak, or any other company associated with the Pokemon franchise. Although that would be pretty nice.

[8:34 am]

I slowly open my groggy eyes to see the fire I began last night was completely out. I turned my head to see that it was more or less dry outside. A beam of sunlight was refracted by a tree's leaves and created little spots of light at the entrance of the small cave. I then look to my right and saw the noibat comfortably laying on the other side of where the fire was. Now that it was morning there was a lot more detail to the noibat. There were various scars on her body. But these didn't look like cuts that happened accidentally. I got a little closer to her to observe. Could someone have mistreated her? I walked over to my backpack and looked through it. I searched for my first aid bag and took out some bandages and bandage tape. I put it down next to my backpack and walked out of the shelter.

I began to monologue ,"Well, there isn't a pokemon center anywhere near here. And I seriously doubt there's any civilization around here to begin with." I continued walking through the thick forest looking for suitable sticks.

"I guess I have to take matters into my own hands." I continued talking to myself as I explored the area and also looking for the right component. A ninety-degree angle should do for this. "I gotta look on the bright side though, at least I have shelter... and an anonymous companion." I've been spending a lot of time by myself lately and taking up jobs usually my parents would usually do. After Zane mysteriously disappeared along with Ruby, it's been dreary ever since. Not to mention that Savior party that opposes people like Zane rose out of nowhere. I look around my surroundings taking in the sounds and smells of the forest. That's when I notice the perfect stick I could use. I grab it and make my way back to the cave.

I arrive and see that the noibat was still sleeping. I begin to use extra sticks along with rope to construct a frame that would fit the noibat's wing. Very gently I move the wing into place hoping not to wake her. I begin wrapping it with the bandages and tape. After I finished I wrapped the frame of sticks onto her wing and made a cast that would last at least a weak. Looks like I'm gonna have to call Mom and Dad for this one... She awoke instantly with fright and used supersonic on me. The sound echoed inside the cave due to the compact space. I swung back covering my ears in pain. It almost felt like my ears were bleeding. There was a ringing in my head that lingered almost like someone shot a gun next to my ear but much worse. Everything finally settled down and when I looked back over to the noibat, she was on the other side of the cave again.

I sigh and moan at the pain that still lingered ,"That's going to be a problem... But like it or not, I'm going to heal you to a hundred percent." I yell out, someone how thinking I would get a response. Nah, the only one that can do that is Ruby... And she's clearly never coming back... or Zane.

[3:12 pm]

I was crouching in the banks of a river and hand washing my clothes. I had a rope stringing two trees together and was using it like a clothesline. I was thoroughly washing a few shirts. I was shirtless though and the wind made it a little chilly. I heard some footsteps behind me and turned around to see the noibat.

"You've never been this far away from the cave..." I say while I turned back around and continued what I was doing. Again, there was a cold silence I had always received. What struck me weird was the fact that she didn't even use pokespeech when she was around me. Just silence.

She strolled over to the river and took a drink of water and I stared just at her just a few meters away. Instead of continuing what I was doing I walk over to where I set the backpack down. I hang the shirt up and dig into my backpack to find my sketch journal. I sit down on a stump and take out a pencil as well and begin to draw the noibat. including all the detail and even the cast and scars. After about a forty-five minutes of rough sketching, I finish. The noibat, although, was taking a nap in the sun. I take out the dex and once again call my Mom.

"Hey, Mom." I speak first.

"Is everything okay, Jett? Are you sure you don't want to take her to a pokemon center?"

"No, I'm fine. Plus if I try to get close enough to touch her she freaks out and nearly blasts my eardrums. And she also doesn't want to come out of the cave much."

"Well, I'm sure everything will be fine. Just stay safe."

"Thanks, love you, bye." With that, I close the dex and toss it at my backpack. I walk over and stood next to the sleeping noibat with my arms crossed for a moment. That's when I noticed a certain mark on her back. It wasn't natural at all. It was in the shape of a cross with a crown above it but the mark was small and hard to tell. It looked to be a burn mark like someone had branded her. Who could have done this? I took a second to think about but soon dropped it and walked back to the shelter.

"I'm out to gather more wood for a fire, hang tight," I say waving as I continued out. I gotta say this is getting really old. I hope its just a small fracture so it heals faster. It's almost been a week and I still haven't warmed up to her. Something tells me there's something really wrong.

I brought my journal with me so that I could log more into the book about certain plants and wildlife. I come back to, once again, see her napping. I dump all the wood I gathered on the ground and started to build the fire. I started to build it in the usual pattern but before I lit I turned my head to look at the noibat to see she was weeping. She wasn't awake though.

"Hmm?" And then to my shock, she began to sleep talk... In perfect English.

January 26

(Jett's POV)

[12:23 am]

I woke suddenly and look around to see we were still in the air. I look to my left and saw Sasha fading in and out of sleep.

"Hey, need me to take over? You haven't slept in a day..." She draws her attention to me half asleep.

"Sure." She says groggily and yawned. She lets me take over the controls yawning once again.

"How much further?" I ask.

"We're nearly there... About ten more miles." She claims.

There was a pause before I added ,"Love you." But when I looked over she was already asleep. I chuckled slightly. Then there were some footsteps and out of the darkness of the back of the helicopter was Zane.

"You're still up? You're gonna need all the sleep you can get when you're in the Regime." I lectured but he simply shrugged.

"Just wanted a chance to talk to you." he continued ,"So... Better get to explaining." He demanded while looking at Sasha.

I sigh ,"I don't even have time to explain even now. A lot of time has passed since you've been gone..." I added ,"What about you? How come you and Ruby left without a single word to anyone? Hmm?"

He chuckled and stared at the floor while leaning on a crate ,"What if I told you I don't even have time to explain even now?"

I replied ,"Fair enough." A long awkward pause followed.

He broke the silence ,"Well I guess I'll begin with this..." He got my attention back. He explained everything that had led up to this moment. To be honest, it was a little hard trying to believe him but after what happened at the mansion, anything is possible now. What Zane went through was definitely wild. Although it confirmed my suspicions about Zane.

"Hey, who exactly is Ikari?" Zane asks me.

I answer ,"Apparently higher-ups have given you the alias "Ikari". I don't remember what it meant. I just know it's a different language."

We continued to talk until we finally arrive at the coordinates Cross had given us. there was a large plain we could land but everything else around us was a forest. There was a mildly large cabin as well. We land the helis in the middle of the field. Everyone was now awake except for Cross.

"Return here when you're ready to leave!" I yell to Zane over the sound of the helis. He gives me a thumbs up as he continues walking towards the cabin. After about twenty minutes he returned with what already looked like a squadron. I saw Zane, Ruby, a blaziken, a salazzle, a lucario, a mightyena, and what looked to be a small snivy. We had to divide a few into another helicopter because there wasn't enough space in one. Not to mention the amount of weight that would be slowing us down. Zane got on board along with Ruby, the blaziken, and the salazzle.

"Jett?" Ruby spoke up in shock. It looks like she still has the same blue scarf.

I joked ,"Wow, you've grown an inch or two since I last saw you, Ruby" But I didn't realize what I had actually done.

"Wait... Hold on... Ruby?" Sasha swung her head around to come eye to eye with the delphox all the while her face was completely frozen in shock.

She added ,"You told me his partner was a delphox, but you didn't tell me her name was Ruby..." Sasha droned. Ruby had also come to a realization.

"Sasha? It's been years..." Ruby began.

Zane chuckled ,"What are the chances?"

The voice channel came on and the captain of Scarlett Mech could be heard. "What are we waiting for?"

I sigh ,"Looks like we're gonna have to postpone your little reunion." I began the helicopter and closed the rear door. We took off in the direction of Unova. I added ,"Next stop; Unova..."

Thank you for reading! Be prepared to see more POV's. Exhibit: A is this chapter. Now that Jett is back, his side of the story will be explained in depth and there will also definitely be more details for other characters. All I have to say about Sasha is that she is going to be an interesting character and I think you guys will really like her around. And also I'm sorry for promising this to come out on June 25 but instead, it's June 26. I'm an actual ass wipe and I deserve to be lynched. Happy? Anyway... Follow, favorite, and leave a review please..! LEAVE A REVIEW! It's really easy. And if you didn't know, your words give me self-esteem. They give me a reason to go on. So please review. And I don't even care if you criticize the fanfiction. Because it will give me a reason to make it better. And if you compliment it, that means I'm doing something right. And don't forget to read PBM's story 'Torn'. It's told in Ryder's POV so I suggest everyone read it.

Here's that "kind of completed" link. I'm never gonna get the full one because for some reason you can't include links into a fanfiction.
