Pat: The final fic in 'The Skye Team' series! Enjoy, and remember, I don't own the idea for SSBB. See ya at the end of the chapter!
It
was a sunny, drizzle-y day, the birds drowning, the cats hissing, and
the Brawlers dancing in the drizzle, save the select few who HATED
water. Sonic sighed.
"I hate water, don't you,
Charizard?"
"Grr."
Pit sighed, plopping
onto his bed with a loud thud. He was exhausted. Target Smash, level
5, boss battles and intense battling does get to ya after a while,
you know.
Pit sat up, a paper crumbling under him.
A
note? Pit wondered, opening it. From
who?
A minute later, a gasp was
heard, the note fluttering to the ground.
Skye sighed sadly,
looking once more at everybody before turning back towards the
river.
He's probably read the note
by now, so I had better do this quickly. Skye
thought, staring down at the river.
It's
quite a long way down... Hopefully, this doesn't hurt too much...
"Are you serious?!"
"Satoshi, if I was lying a
freakin' PIE would be splattered around your face, and a clown would
be here, okay?"
Satoshi grimaced. He HATED clowns. It was a
good thing Charizard did, too.
"Well, we've gotta move, then!
He could already be..." Pit shook his head.
"We can't
let him do that! C'mon!"
Again, the note fluttered to the
ground, face up. The reason Satoshi and Pit were in a hurry? The note
was important...
Dear Pit,
I
sincerely regret telling you this on paper. But I must, else I'll
never be able to any other way.
I've decided to end my miserable
existence. These memories of the past, of Master... They plague me,
rendering me fearful, unable to rest. I hope you understand, and
won't let this drag you down. I'll be at the river at noon, in case
you wanted to know. Farewell...
Sincerely and regrettably,
Skye.
'Three steps, that's all I need. Three short steps, and I'll be
able to see Master again...' Skye thought, about to step forward,
when a gold-and-blue arrow jumped in front of him, startling the
jackal. Turning around, he saw an angered Pit, and a worried Satoshi,
whom which Skye growled at. Let's just say that after a Pokeball
incident, Skye stayed as far away from Satoshi as possible. Going
on...
Pit stepped forward, Skye taking a step back.
"How
could you?" Pit asked, Skye looking away.
"How could you
still want to do this, even after we became friends?" One
stepped forward, another stepped back.
"Even after you
befriended almost everyone? How do you think they'd feel if they
found out you'd committed suicide?!" Skye, out of instinct, took
a step back, a fatal decision. Skye gasped, Pit trying to grab
him.
"SKYE!"
Skye's POV:
When I got...
Yeah, beaten up by Dark, I thought that was the most pain I'd ever
felt. Falling in a river full of sharp rocks changed my view,
however.
I don't know what happened, not much anyway. I remember
falling... And then I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head. Then,
everything faded away...
Squirtle's POV:
I'll never
forget that day. Master had sent me out to help Skye out of the
river, then Ivysaur to use her vines to help me drag Skye to the
sandbar, and Charizard to help me lift the jackal to safety. Either
way, we were lucky we could work so well, otherwise Skye would have
been...
I distinctly remembered a winged-man crying, hugging Skye
tightly when we retrieved him. He was so grateful. Then, Skye's eyes
fluttered a bit, everyone watching carefully, closely. When his eyes
finally opened, everyone gasped.
His eyes were gold-red, in a
sense, a beautiful combo. They were a bit cloudy, but anyway...
What
surprised everyone most was his pupils...
Those normally pearly
black pupils...
Were a creamy white.
Skye had been blinded.
Skye's POV:
Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard had saved me.
The damned loyal Pokèmon had risked their hides to save mine. Why
couldn't I die?
Well, anyway, when I came to, everything looked a
bit like how they did when I examined things through aura, but it was
just a bit fuzzy. Everyone gasped.
"What?" I dully heard
myself say. Everyone exchanged glances, I think, nodding. Finally,
Pit spoke.
"Skye...
You've gone blind."
