Author's notes: First of all, thank you all for the favorites, alerts and reviews! I didn't really like this chapter, but it had to be done. Well, at least it is shorter. And I still don't have a beta.

Don't Let Me Let You Go

Chapter 2 - Murder

Kirlia got up very early. He usually did not need much sleep. The previous day had been very calm and he had walked many kilometers from the rehab. A wild zigzagoon had told him there was a city nearby, but since the psychic pokemon did not want to meet any kind of humans (he had hear many bad things about them), he decided to avoid the city and walk through the forest.

But bad luck must have loved him because as soon as Kirlia made his decision, a young trainer jumped from behind of a tree. The boy was wearing a blue cap that matched with his eyes. His shorts were black and his T-shirt was of a shocking yellow. He touched one of the pokealls attached to his belt and put a smirk on his face.

"Wow, I must be the luckiest trainer of the world! A shiny kirlia!"

The boy sent his taillow out. It spread its wings and prepared to attack.

"Taillow, use quick-attack!"

The flying pokemon flew in Kirlia's direction with all its speed, but before it could land its attack, something stopped it in mid-air. The bird was thrown to the side and hit one of the nearest trees, letting a loud cry out.

"Taillow!"

The young trainer took his pokemon on his hands, giving it a worried look. Taillow opened its eyes and got upright. It still wanted to fight.

"Are you sure, Taillow?"

"Tai, tai!"

"Ok, use gust then!"

A little tornado was formed with the movement of the pokemon's wings and it was sent against Kirlia. The psychic pokemon did not even have to move a finger. Its eyes glowed with a purplish light and soon the mini tornado was gone.

"Leave me alone, or you'll regret it." said a calm voice inside the boy's head.

Telepathy. The trainer knew psychic pokemon were capable of communicating by telepathy.

"No way, you're going to be mine!"

He gave Taillow another command and it obeyed by using wing-attack. Again, Taillow was stopped before being able to hit, but it was not thrown to the tree this time.

"This is my last warning." said the voice in the boy's head.

The boy did not call Taillow back. What could that Kirlia do? The worst that could happen was Taillow fainting and then the boy would just call it back and send another of his pokemon.

"No giving up, then?"

Kirlia made a quick movement with his left arm, sending Taillow flying to a tree. However, this time the taillow continued being pressed to wood, not being able to breathe, but the boy could not see that his pokemon was dying. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he shouted a desperate "Stop!" in vain.

The white pokemon kept the bird there for a few more seconds before interrupting the psychic control. Taillow fell to the ground and the boy hurried to take it on his hands once again. Tear rolled down his face and fell on the little bird's lifeless body. Kirlia turned away and left without a sound.

It was the first time he killed a pokemon and he did not feel anything at all. There was no pleasure or sadness, even after the boy's desperate sobs filled the air. The psychic pokemon continued on his way.

OOOooOOOO

Why did it do that? Why did that blasted Kirlia kill his friend? He had fought many other pokemon and none of them had acted like that. What was wrong with that fucking Kirlia?

The young trainer carried his Taillow back to Petalburg's Pokemon Center. Nurse Joy asked him if he wanted to heal it, but he refused. There was no use of healing a dead pokemon. Slowly, sadness turned into anger and anger became hate.

That Kirlia would pay for taking away his pokemon's life.

OOOOoooOOOO

The rest of the day passed quickly and without any other important event. The wild pokemon did not even come close to him. Kirlia did not even have to read their minds to know why. It was obvious just by looking at their scared faces that some pokemon had seen the battle he had against that young trainer's Taillow and then told everyone all about it. Bad news travelled faster than he thought they would.

Indeed, those news travelled really fast. The Rockets soon heard of the powerful clod-blooded rare pokemon that would be perfect for their plans. So, small teams were formed to find and capture suck special pokemon. But the Rockets were not the only ones interested in having this powerful ally by their side.

The owner of the dead taillow had told as many people as he could about what had happened. He wanted trainers to help him catch that kirlia to prevent it from killing any other pokemon. It had to be stopped and punished. Some other trainers decided to go after the shiny kirlia on their own and even some pokemon collectors went off to search for it.

The story of the murderer pokemon spread too fast and by the time Shiny Kirlia had arrived at Verdanturf Town, the whole Hoenn region already knew about him.
