Eeveewing: Hi! More history!
Arctic: I don't want to explain more!
Molt: She means me dummy! (Pushes Arctic out of the way)
Nightmare: Hey. Is someone missing? Oh! I didn't see you Zap! You're so quiet!
Zap: Whatever...
Eeveewing: (I told him about the next chapter. Also Arctic's new form is his blizzard form!) I'm sure he's just being grumpy! :3
Nightmare: Okay... Anyway, read and review.
"You 'transformed'!? Into what!?" Molt cried. Arctic was still in his blizzard form. Right then, he was retelling the events in the room. Molt had already offered to watch Shira next. Zeck was listening to the story with great interest. Finally, he nodded, interrupting Arctic.
"Yes. My protectors gained their power... well... protecting me. My guess is the rest of you will also get your powers. After Molt, Zap will watch Shira," Zeck decided. Everyone nodded, although Zap looked unhappy. Molt noticed.
Perhaps he wanted to watch first?
Although she tried to pushed the dark thoughts away, she couldn't help but think it.
Or maybe not at all...
Finally, pushing away the dark fog in her mind, she marched toward Shira's room. However, Zap stopped her just as she reached the door.
"Um... If Nightmare attacks... just call! Okay? I don't want you to get hurt or... worse," he finished. Molt knew exactly what he meant. Inside of her head she finished it grimly.
Like Shira.
It was sweet Zap cared. She wouldn't trade him for anyone in the world. Arctic had Shira. Why was it bad for her to have a crush?
"I promise. But I'll be fine! You'll see!" she reassured him. Silently, she prayed to Arceus what she said was true. As Zap walked away, she almost stopped him. If this was her last day, she wanted Zap to know how she felt. Finally, she decided against it. What if he didn't feel the same way? No. She would not tell him.
"Oh, Shira! I wish you were awake! Then you could help me!" Molt sobbed into her hands as she closed the door, locking it. Sliding down to sit, she remembered when she found out she liked him.
~Flashback!
"Hi Zap! Training is going to be so much fun!" she squealed. He rolled his eyes, but smiled. Zap was more fun than Arctic.
"I hope you don't actually mean that! Training is so boring! When I was still a normal kid, I used to play video games! I'd much rather be doing that!" he laughed. His laughter always had a sort of soothing quality to Molt. Though, Arctic described it as listening to static.
Meh. Arctic was always weird back then. Before that, I had no competition. Now I have an entire school to compete with.
"Hey! Reshiram needs you two! Why am I the only one to show up to training!?" Arctic asked, exasperated.
Like I said! Weird!
"Probably because you're not cool!" Zap grumbled. Molt gave Arctic a sympathetic look, and raced off after Zap, leaving Arctic alone.
"Yes, Reshiram?" she asked. Before Reshiram could even explain, Zap mumbled something under his breath. It was so quiet, even Molt didn't hear him. Still, Reshiram turned a smoldering gaze on him.
"What was that!?" she growled. Molt backed away slowly. Zap had carefully positioned himself to be in between Reshiram and her. Although Molt didn't agree with everything Zap did, it was sweet of him to try and protect her. That was when she realized how she felt about him.
~End of Flashback~
"Why can't I tell him!?" she sighed, her tears slowly stopping. Something in the corner of the room caught her eye. Flicking from one place to another, was a shadow. It was warily making its way toward Shira.
Almost immediately, Molt jumped to her feet, seizing the shadow. Like Zap had asked, she called for help. They had reached the door, but couldn't get in.
"Molt! Molt! Unlock the door!" Zap called. With a jolt of horror, she remembered that when she had shut the door, she had locked it. If she tried to open the door, Nightmare would get Shira.
"I-I can't! Nightmare will get away!" she yelled back. As she spoke his name, the shadow materialized into the king of shadows himself. For a moment, he stopped thrashing. Suddenly, he heaved himself up so strongly that Molt was thrown off and bashed into the wall. As she opened her eyes, she saw Nightmare launching the move she feared. Yes. Dark void.
When it hit her, she thought all was lost. Then, an image of Shira, so sharp Molt thought she was actually looking at the sleeping beauty, popped up in front of her eyes.
Shira...
Unlike Arctic, a dazzling red light engulfed Molt. Her normally reddish-orange turned to flames, dancing gracefully about. Instead of her usual red shirt with brown jeans, she was wear a beautiful orange dress, with red and gold shimmering when the sun reflected on it. Last to appear were her wings. They were a dark yellow color with flames protruding out of them. Flapping them powerfully, she shot out of the way just as it was about to hit her.
Wait! Didn't it already hit me!? Whatever! I don't have time to worry about that now!
Zap was pounding on the door, and as I glanced at Nightmare, he shrank back into the floor to flee again. Finally, I opened the door. They were all in awe at me new form.
Eeveewing: Aka Wild Fire Form! I hope this chapter makes up for the long wait last time! Sorry again!
Arctic: Wow...
Nightmare: That was quick...
Zap: Oh great... My turn...
Molt: OMG! I love my new form! What's Zap's like!
Eeveewing: … Um... Not with the viewers...
Shira: zzzzzz... (See! Not awake!)
