Part two is here, happy new year to all of you! Also still taking character requests.
Key: "Mental speech."
"Normal speech."
"Rain must be coming soon. My horn is sweating and I'm not warm at all. Best prepare myself. Knowing karma I'll already have someone looking for help."
Wet fur and urgency hung on a Leafeon's face as he ran from tree to tree dodging as much rain as he could. He looked up and the sky was still pouring down as heavy as it was four minutes ago. The Leafeon found a thickly covered tree with a ton of leaves. He stopped for a second to catch his breath.
"Son… is that you? And Fae, you can see again!" The Leafeon daydreamed for a second then punched the trunk of the tree. He took a second and looked up at the bark of the tree. It was still dry and Leafeon saw the sky flash. A bright crack of lightning struck the dry leaves and the tree started to collapse. The Leafeon was dazed for a second too long from the sudden flash of light that practically burned his eyes. When his sight returned the tree was inches away from his head. He tried to jump to the side, but his tail and hind legs got caught. He screamed in pain has he felt his hind legs break under the trunk. "SOMEBODY HELP ME!" His friend caught up and was scared by the sight. She was a Sylveon and quietly panicked at first, her face clearly showing fear. She took a second to be thankful she was blind so she couldn't see his face. Her feelers acted like a radar system and she could hear the bones snap, and the scream vibrate his throat. She tied her frontal ribbons around his free paws and tugged as hard as she could. She started to sob without blinking when her strength wasn't enough.
"Oh no… I can't get you free!" She tried to pull him free once more, but that uttered another pained scream. "Please just hang on!" She turned her head around and cried into the stormy sky. "SOMEONE HELP US!"
Valence's horn sent a pained signal through his body. He was eating his breakfast when he dropped his food from the sudden pain. He communicated with himself to try to understand why his horn did what it did. Absol knew they had horns, and they functioned like radars. They could detect, but it was up to the Absol to make a read off its signals.
"I knew it was going to rain…" He told himself. "But I've never felt that reading before…" He put down his food and walked outside. The wind had begun to pick up and the temperature was dropping fast. Then he spotted two Audino that were looking at the sky. Valence considered knocking them out and throwing them into a pond, but he thought he might as well make the most of his situation.
"I guess I should play along with King Arceus' grandmaster plan. I suppose I'll stop killing… for now."
"Did you hear something?" One said. Valence walked next to them and looked in the same direction.
"Yeah, like a tree falling." The other said.
"Followed by two screams shortly after." Valence listened to them and added his thoughts.
"Something's up. I knew it was going to rain, but something just went down." He said.
"Can't Absols sense disaster?" One pointed out. Valence didn't respond.
"Yeah, that's what he's saying. Should we check it out?" The other one shook his head.
"Are you insane? If trees are falling in the forest, there is no WAY we could get out if we got caught." The Audino listening seemed to agree. Then one turned to Valence.
"What about you? You seem very hardened." Audino asked.
"And why do you say that?" Valence turned is head, resisting the urge to slash their throats.
"I'm nervous so my heart rate is racing. Your heart seems very cool and calm, like you've seen worse and been heroic at times." Valence shook his head. He remembered Audino could listen to other's heartbeats to determine how they were feeling.
"No wonder they are always in Pokémon centers…"
"Truth be told I'm actually a deadly villain. I actually am asking myself why I haven't killed you yet." He smiled grimly as he heard them shudder. "But luckily for you I don't need to kill you. So sure, I'll check it out." He dashed away leaving the two Audino behind.
"Did he just threaten us?" One asked.
"…kinda sorta?" The other scratched its head.
"We should wait here for any injured he might being back." The other one nodded and they both plopped down next to a tree. "Wind's picking up."
"And it's getting cooler. It could be a while." He looked up at the tree and fired an ice beam at two Leppa Berries. It split the juices into the air before freezing it in ice. The two fell and each of them caught one. Then he snapped two pieces of bark off the tree and stuck them into the frozen berries. "Popsicle?"
"Sweet."
The Sylveon was sobbing, but she could hardly tell the difference between her tears and the rain on her fur. Her friend had stopped screaming, but he was still breathing and his eyes were still forced open.
"What if you never walk again?" She cried. "If I had been there we could be safe!" She told herself. Valence had picked up the scent of fear and traced it to a downed tree.
"Just a downed tree, that's a shame." He casually said. The Sylveon heard a voice near her.
"Hey, HEY! Help us whoever you are!" Valence heard a voice call from near his location. He walked around the downed tree and found a crying Sylveon and a silent Leafeon that was caught underneath the tree. He looked at the female and waited for a response. When he didn't get one he asked instead.
"What happened here?" He walked closer to them.
"My friend got caught underneath a falling tree! Please help us!" She cried. Valence looked at the crushed Leafeon and knew there was slim chance he could ever walk again. His legs were completely covered by the tree and his tail seemed to break the worst of the impact. Valence saw the bones weren't completely broken. Valence looked at the crying Sylveon.
"Are you scared?" The Sylveon nodded. "Hmph." Valence ran back to get a running start to force the tree off. He brushed the ground beneath him and lowered his head. "You best move." The Sylveon stepped away to the side. He roared as he launched himself off his hind legs. He whipped up an Absol's famous move, Razor Wind, with his horn and launched it ahead of him. The white scythe cut clean through the think trunk of the tree. Valence threw his body against the severed end and knocked it away. He hurt his right foreleg and stumbled away from the log. The Sylveon felt his injury tax his body and acted on her own. She charged a power deep inside her chest and ignited herself in a red aura. She darted towards the remaining segment and Valence knew what would happen. Time slowed for him as he calculated her heading.
"If she continues with the Giga Impact… she would knock the tree off, but it would crush the Leafeon's right hind leg totally! What to do, think Valence, THINK!" Instinctively, he leapt up and slashed the other half into two more segments. He rolled away from the Sylveon's path and she took out the spit half. Now only a small stump remained on top of Leafeon. Valence jumped back and threw his body against the last bit and it finally freed the Leafeon. Valence looked at the Leafeon for a second and saw green and red leaking from his rear legs. The Sylveon leapt to Valence's side and shivered at the cold of the rain.
"He can't walk." She said.
"No shit." He said. "Place him on my back." The Sylveon nodded and gently raised him and put him onto Valence's back. She could feel his body twitching in her grasp and she herself didn't feel well anymore. "We need to make it back… it's getting colder out here." The Sylveon was feeling lightheaded and nodded slowly. Valence couldn't run with the Leafeon on his back so he kept a steady jogging pace. He glanced back at the Leafeon and its eyes were squeezed shut. Valence could feel him shivering. Then he felt something inside him awaken. Something he hadn't felt in ages.
"Leafeon… Sylveon… they are counting on me!" His mind told him. He couldn't really enjoy the feeling, but it was there regardless. He looked back at the Sylveon that was struggling to keep pace.
"I will get you two to safety, just stay with me okay?" The Sylveon didn't respond. Valence's fur was getting heavier as time progressed and he was slowing down after about three minutes. He looked back and the Sylveon had fallen way behind. He stopped and waited for the Sylveon to come alongside him. "Almost there, come on!" The Sylveon shook her head and turned her head to Valence. Valence could feel her body temperature skyrocket.
"Forgive me kind stranger… I wasn't… strong enough…" With that her white pupils rolled back and she collapsed on her side.
"NO!" Valence screamed. His wound on his foreleg began to throb and it froze him in pain. "Pain… will not stop me!" He lowered his head and threw the Sylveon onto his back, doubling the weight he needed to front. "Ngh…" He groaned and looked up at the sky. "Is this what you want…?" He said quietly while looking back at the two passed out Pokémon. "IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED?!" He screamed it to the heavens, where Arceus was no doubt impressed. He forced his legs forward and it also seemed he forced the rain down harder. He was at his limit and his legs started to give away. "I can't… move on." His right legs made him fall down and he forced his left legs to kneel as well to break the fall. His eyes shut and his mind left as he keeled over onto his side. He opened his eyes one last time to see a man in red running towards him with the two Audino next to him.
"You magnificent…son of a…" His mind died out and the blackness took his mind away.
"There they are, come on Gothorita, give them a lift! Serperior you need to carry the Absol since he's dark." This man was a Special Response Unit of the police force that specialized in Pokémon related incidents. They would be better known as Pokémon Rangers. This particular man, Isaac, was dispatched to observe the weather patterns when he came across two worried Audino that directed him to the issue. The Gothorita picked up the Leafeon and Sylveon with her psychic abilities while Isaac's Serperior wrapped his vines around Valence to carry him on his back. "Command this is Isaac, we have 11-23 three injured Pokémon, bringing them in to the Pokémon center, say again, bringing them in." He pointed back towards the city and nodded. "Let's roll!"
Valence was fading in and out. It seemed the man had stirred his mind into semi-consciousness. He also felt something carrying him and it smelled like fresh cut grass. He opened his eyes and a serpent eye greeted him.
"Welcome back." The Serperior said with a smile.
"…Sylve…Leafe… where are they?" He asked the serpent.
"We got them with my partner. Ye three are just fine." Valence felt the wound on his leg get worse and he grunted in agony. "Hang on son, we got ye, we got ye." He smiled. "Just rest, it's a very smooth ride on my back." Valence took the invitation and let the blackness take him again.
"Vernon… Fae… Arceus has told me… who you are. More specifically what I've done to you. How will I react? How will you react? Do you… even know?" His mind had learned their names from an unknown source that Valence credited with Arceus. His mind blacked out and he felt into a deep sleep.
