Chapter I

. . .

He knew it.

He fucking knew that she was faking that damned smile of hers but had chosen not to call her out on it because she had looked so fragile with tears streaming down her furry cheeks. It made him wonder when he had fallen for the human-turned-pokemon. At first, he thought it was absolutely disgusting and sick because they were of two different races, but as time went on, he didn't see her as Camilla the human who had abandoned her true friend because she was afraid of being abandoned herself.

No, he saw her as Cammie the Eevee who was selfless and willing to put her very life on the line to protect those she cared for. He did regret doubting her after what Elder Whiscash had told them of the story, but he remembered that she never once abandoned him.

Now here he was running with Caterpie and the two Jumpluffs to find Camie and to stop her from whatever she was planning to do.

"Are ya sure, you're alright Cammie?" He had asked her with hesitance, his heart still pumping with adrenaline from when the two had ran from the town's Pokemon.

She nodded but kept her head down and that's when he began to smell something salty.

She was crying. He was never good with crying females.

"Geez!" He growled opening his scaly arms, "C'mere Cammie." The Eevee almost tackled him to the ground as she rushed into his arms, sobbing her eyes out and blubbering out apologies about how this was her fault.

It was Gengar's fault!

"It's not your fault those Pokemon can't see how awesome and non-threatening you are." She had let out a watery laugh at that and he had mentally cheered, but he stopped as she froze.

"Ares." She spoke quietly and he could hear it plain as day. The sounds of footsteps were getting closer and by the slow pace, they were in no hurry.

He turned around to see team A.C.T. wearing grim looks on their faces.

There was Maximus, the Alakazam and leader of the team who many said, could look into the future. Then there was Donovan, the Tyranitar and muscle of the team, not to mention the most stubborn too. Lastly, there was Titus, the Charizard who he looked up to.

He swallowed before giving them a blank stare, "Leave us alone."

"Ares..." He heard Cammie whimper. She was afraid that they would take her away, but he was not going to let them.

They were not going to steal her away from him!

"So," both turned back to see Maximus staring them down, "your name is Ares, correct?"

He kept his blank façade up, "What of it?"

Donovan let out a humorless laugh, "We never caught your name kid, just wondering is all." his face turned grim once more, "You do know why we're here, right?"

At this, he had bared his fangs, "I already told you! You're not taking her!" Their eyes had widened at his declaration, but it wasn't at his defiance. No, it was at the unusual feral look in his icy eyes.

Maximus sighed and his eyes met Cammie's and the two were looking at each other as if they were having a silent conversation. He growled and grabbed Cammie before shoving the Eevee behind him, "What the hell did you do to her?!" He snarled, noticing the dazed look on his friend's face.

The Alakazam shook his head, "Just a small warning."

He then looked towards the setting sun, "You two should leave first thing in the morning if you plan on escaping." Maximus turned and walked away with Donovan and Titus following behind.

Why hadn't he noticed the resigned look in her eyes?!

"NO!" He was snapped out of his flashback by Peter and the others who were looking towards the main square which was crowded with Pokemon.

He turned, only for his world to stop.

Cammie was lying on the cobblestone, surrounded by a pool of crimson. Her unique leafy green orbs were clouded over and a small stream of blood dripped from her maw. Team A.C.T. stood over her limp form with those same grim faces and Maximus was using his psychic move to hold a bloodied stone which Donovan had probably created by using stone edge.

The town's Pokemon had different reactions towards the scene. Some were happy and smiling in relief while others either showed pity or shock. Gengar had a look that was a mixture of shock, horror and regret as he stared at the fallen Eevee.

Cammie, his selfless and sweet Cammie was gone...gone...gonegonegonegoneGONEGONEGONE!

She was gone and never coming back.

His already cracked heart shattered, and his mind was filled with static.

He screamed.

His scream was unhinged and broken and now everyone was looking at him with either shock or horror.

The others were sobbing heavily now as his scream had been the true realization that Cammie was truly gone.

His mind was shattering piece by piece as memories faded in and out.

A young Ares looked up at his parents, "I'll become a strong Charizard like you two!" He promised and his parents smiled at him.

Tears rolled down his cheeks, but he couldn't care less.

Ares looked up at his brother who was chowing down on some Cherri berries, "Oi! Apollo!" His older brother turned around and he smirked at the sight of his younger brother running over to him.

"What do ya want runt?" Ares pouted at him, "I'm not a runt!" The Charmeleon snorted at this while Ares scowled, "I want to learn the fastest way to become a Charizard." Apollo blinked before he burst into laughter.

"Y-you can't j-just become a Charizard o-over-night." He spoke through his laughter, "You gotta train and have lots of patience little bro." Ares grinned up at his big brother, "Really?"

Apollo gave him a smile, "Yeah, just don't overwork yourself, ok? I don't want Ma and Pa worried."

"Ok."

His parents and older brother were always there when he needed them, but then, things changed.

Ares had come back from berry picking with his friends, "Mom! Dad! Apollo! I'm-huh?" He had walked into the cave to see his mother sobbing quietly while Apollo was comforting her, tears also pouring down his face. His heart stopped as he saw the yellow bandana that was stained with red in his mother's claws.

It was his father's favorite one.

He had tried his very best to hold it together for his mother and brother.

"Here Ma, drink this." He handed her a bowl of crushed pecha and sitrus berries mixed in with mushed-up fruits. She had managed a weak smile, "Thank you, my little fireball."

She had tried to eat it, but her stomach rebelled and she puked it back up.

"Mama!" He had yelled in horror and Apollo rushed in before ushering him out so that he wouldn't catch whatever their mother had. Afterwards, when she had recovered from her puking fit, she had apologized, and the two brothers left her be to sleep.

She never woke up.

Apollo was his only light afterwards, but fate seemed determined to take him too.

Branches scratched at his face as Apollo dragged him through the thickets, "It hurts!"

"I know Ares, but we have to keep moving, ok? We'll take a break shortly, I promise."

They never did take that break, instead, Apollo had shoved him into a small hole beneath and old oran berry tree, "Stay here and don't come out until I come for you, ok?" Ares nodded and Apollo pressed his maw to his head before racing off.

He waited hours and hours for his brother to come and get him, but to no avail. He finally left the hole to go look for Apollo and he searched high and low until he eventually found him.

Ares had found his brother's head a few feet away from his body.

He could hear shouting now. Why won't they all be quiet?

"What's your name?"

"C-Cammie."

"Hah! Your name is hilarious! Hahahaha!"

"W-what's so funny, j-jerk?!"

…...Why?

"Oi, Cammie," the Eevee turned to him, "what should we name our team?"

"You're asking me?"

"Yep, now spill it."

"…...Sunrise." He gave her a curious look, "Why that?" She gave him a beautiful smile, "Because even though you might end up in darkness, there will always be a sunrise."

"I like the name, but that was stupid." He deadpanned and her cheeks puffed up in annoyance.

…...why...why...why?

"Hey Cammie?"

"Yeah?"

"What eeveelution do you want to be?"

"A Jolteon." He grinned at her, "Why?"

She scoffed, "Because Jolteon's the badass of the bunch." They laughed and afterwards, he secretly started to save extra poke so that he could buy a thunder stone.

…...whywhywhywhyWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY?!

"Do you want to become human again?" He had asked her one starry night.

"No, not really." He looked surprised and shocked, "Why not?"

She blushed, "I would miss being here with everyone, especially you, Ares." He quickly turned away as his face heated up, "You're a weirdo."

She pouted, "Am not!"

"Are too!"

The screaming finally came to a stop as everything went black.

. . . . .

He woke up feeling drained and empty, his throat screaming for water. He grabbed to jug of water that was beside the hay bed and drained it dry before throwing it and smiling a bitter smile as it shattered against the ground.

He then got up and walked outside of the small house to see Caterpie and the two Jumpluff waiting for him. He ignored them as he walked towards the town, "A-Ares?"

Said Charmander looked over at the bug pokemon, "Are they still there?"

"Huh?"

"Are they still there?"

Caterpie's look of anguish turned to anger, "Y-yeah. The town's throwing a damn party over her death!"

A wave of cold fury washed over Ares and he grinded his teeth together. They were having a party over his friend's death.

A friend he cared for.

Protected.

Loved.

Silent fury bubbled beneath his skin as the group arrived to see Pokemon laughing and smiling all around. They would all pay for this.

Kill them...kill them all...they took her from you...make them pay...

Ares forced himself through the crowd until he reached them.

They were sitting and eating the different foods that were set out, conversating politely with those who surrounded them.

"You killed her."

Those three words cut the party short, and everyone went silent, staring at him.

"Yes-"

...he doesn't deny it...make them suffer!

"-there was no other choice." Maximus felt a chill crawl up his spine as Ares stared up at him with those black eyes and displaced smile.

The Charmander smirked, "You're gonna pay for this. All of you will pay."

No one said anything as Ares turned and walked off, his ominous words making some shiver in fear. A few steps away, he paused to turn around, "I promise you this, Maximus," he spat out, "this won't be the last you'll see of me. I'll raze this town to the ground."

With that, he was gone.

Maximus mulled over those ominous words, not entirely worried over the threat, or promise. They had gotten death threats before and it was nothing new, but that unusually feral look in the young Charmander's eyes put him on edge. He sighed, feeling much older than he should, "No need to worry my friends," he finally spoke up after noticing the frightened looks on some of the other's faces, "he's just suffering. The Eevee had us all fooled, especially him. Just give young Ares some space and in time, I'm positive he'll be suitable to return in a few years," hesitant nods and small smiles appeared, "now, let us join these wonderful festivities!"

He ignored Donovan's apprehension and Titus, who was still staring in the direction where the Charmander had left.

There was no way that the young pokemon would still hold a grudge against them, was there? They had saved the world from possible destruction. Even then, there was a small prickle in the back of his mind, warning him that Ares would most definitely follow through with his promise.

I hope that you all enjoyed! Please R&R! I love you all!
