New Divide
Chapter 3: Reunions
Darkrai and Raikou are dragged through the portal in the hands of a determined monster. The Legendaries' screams echo through the tunnel as they struggle and use their attacks on the beast. But nothing helps ease the monster's grip; it's as if Terotrey has a protective cloak around his skin.
Darkrai and Raikou continue their attempts to be free, but soon they stop when they realize that it's useless. They glance at each other in exhaustion. "What do we do, Darkrai?" Raikou asks. Darkrai looks down uneasily. "I… I don't know, kid. This could be it for us…" Darkrai's expression turns sad when he realizes that he might never see the people that he cares about again. Not Alice, not Arceus, not Cresselia…
Darkrai's heart sinks when he thinks about his lover. Nothing else matters to him more than Cresselia does. Darkrai would die for her in a heartbeat. Darkrai remembers every little moment that he has shared with Cresselia. His thoughts avert from the day they met to the very last night that they had shared. Darkrai's heart aches when he thinks about the previous night. That was the night when he and Cresselia had made love for the first and possibly last time. To put it bluntly, it was the most incredible experience that Darkrai had. But due to his current situation, he may never see Cresselia again…
While Darkrai looks down sadly, Raikou looks up at Terotrey with determined eyes. Now way is he going to let Terotrey destroy him and Darkrai, especially after what the mad scientist has attempted to do not too long ago. He looks around carefully before he smirks at Darkrai's direction. Darkrai notices Raikou's look and raises a brow questioningly. Raikou winks before he opens his mouth widely and bites down onto Terotrey's finger. The bite causes black substance to flow out of the wound and Raikou assumes that the ooze must be Terotrey's blood.
Terotrey lets out a scream of pain as he unintentionally lets go of the Legendaries. While the Legendaries are sucked down through the tunnel, Terotrey stops in his place and clutches his bleeding finger. He gazes at the wound with bewildered eyes before he glares furiously at the tunnel where the Legendaries have disappeared into.
"Damn you, Raikou!" Terotrey snarls venomously. "Once I find you two, you're both dead…" He zooms down the tunnel after the Legendaries.
Darkrai and Raikou continue to speed down the purple and black tunnel. The zigzag patterns blind the duo until the portal disappears and is replaced by a land of sand. Unable to help themselves, the Pokémon crash onto the surface. They hack as they dig out of the sand and shake off the unwanted dirt from their bodies. Then they look around with wide eyes.
Sand is everywhere as far as the eye can see. The sky is an unappealing mixture of black and purple colors. Some plateaus are scattered throughout the land and hints of volcanic activities are shown through the hard surface.
Darkrai floats up and looks around cautiously. He carefully looks around for anything that can help him and Raikou out of their situation before Terotrey gets to them. Darkrai blinks. Terotrey…
"Where is Terotrey?" Darkrai mutters as he looks up at the sky. Raikou takes a battle stance as he looks around cautiously for the terrifying beast. "I don't know. But how the hell is he still alive?" Raikou mutters. Darkrai only shrugs.
Then the Pokémon hear a muffled groan and freeze at their spots. Thinking that Terotrey may be near, they cautiously walk towards the source of the noise and find something unexpected lying face-down on the sand.
Messy black hair…
A Blue shirt…
Blue jeans…
Ashen cheeks…
Darkrai automatically knows who this child is. "Ash Ketchum…?" He raises a brow as he flips the boy onto his back. Raikou walks closer and looks down at the unconscious human curiously. Entei and Suicune have mentioned about this boy a few times. The human has supposedly helped them out some time ago. Raikou couldn't help but wonder about how a young child would be able to handle tough situations.
Darkrai places a finger over the boy's neck and checks for a pulse. "He's still alive." He mutters before he begins to check around Ash's body for any more wounds. Raikou continues to stare at Ash uncertainly.
Ash groans when Darkrai shakes his shoulders. The human shakes his head while the Pokémon back away to give him some space. Raikou raises a brow; he hasn't seen a human up close, let alone a trainer. Even though the boy appears to be harmless, Raikou has to be careful.
Ash droopily opens his eyes and sees sand everywhere. He frowns; he remembers sleeping in his room, not in the middle of a desert. "Where am I…?" He mutters as he rubs his head. Then he turns to face Darkrai and Raikou. Darkrai crosses his arms while Raikou stares at Ash.
"Good to see you awake." Darkrai mutters as he narrows his eyes at the human. "You were unconscious. We thought that you were dead." Raikou adds as he smiles kindly at Ash.
Ash stares blankly at the Pokémon for a few seconds. Then he screams and jumps a foot up in the air. This unexpected reaction startles the Pokémon and the duo stare bewilderedly at Ash. "You're both Pokémon!" Ash shouts as he points at the Pokémon.
"Well, at least now we know that you're OK." Raikou grins. "You're talking Pokémon? Am I dreaming…?" Ash squeaks as he backs away. He pinches his cheek and groans. "Nope. That felt real…"
"You're really funny for a human…" Raikou muses. Darkrai just floats there with an unreadable expression. Ash stares at Raikou before he panics again. "Ack! You're still talking!"
Raikou frowns in concern. "Maybe you're not OK after all…" He muses as he furrows his brows. Ash runs over to Darkrai and hides behind the phantom. Darkrai raises a brow while Ash stares at Raikou in terror.
"It's OK," Darkrai slowly moves away from the human. "This is Raikou. He's a Legendary and a good friend of mine. He won't hurt you." Darkrai pushes the uneasy human towards Raikou. Raikou stares down somewhat sheepishly at Ash while Ash hesitates. When the human sees the tiger's kind eyes, he relaxes a bit and steps closer. He rubs the back of his head bashfully.
"Eh, sorry about that. I have a bad habit of acting without thinking." Ash smiles weakly. Raikou smiles back. "It's no problem. I also have a bad habit of doing that too."
The awkward atmosphere is shattered when a loud roar echoes through the valley. The sand dunes shake while the three men stumble in alarm. Darkrai looks up and sees a black and purple portal forming in the sky. Without thinking twice, he jumps forward and tackles the two boys down onto the sand. The boys protest until Darkrai covers their mouths and glares up at the sky. The phantom sees a large beast coming out of the portal with furious eyes. When Raikou and Ash see the monster, they stop moving and watch him with wide horrified eyes. Terotrey unknowingly zooms past the trio as he looks around for something.
Once he disappears over the horizon, the three men sigh in relief and stand up. Darkrai wipes the sweat from his forehead. "Who was that?" Ash whispers. Raikou is about to respond when Darkrai nudges him by the shoulder. The phantom points at the deserted plateau not too far from their position. The men could see a few small caves within the tall pillars.
"We need to find shelter before we talk. We need to hide from Terotrey for as long as possible. If we stay in one place for long, Terotrey will find us." Darkrai states.
Raikou and Ash nod in agreement. Then the thunder tiger hoists the human onto his back and the Legendaries speed off towards the plateau. The three men occasionally look over their shoulders to see if Terotrey is in the area before they regain their focus back to their destination.
-ooo-
"… Raikou and Darkrai are… What?"
Suicune gulps as tears flow down her cheeks. The water dog, Cresselia, and Entei stand on the pedestal before the Legendary Council as they explain about their unfortunate predicament to the stunned Legendaries. Suicune glances at Cresselia. The metallic swan was too upset to talk and her lavender eyes were red from all of the crying that she has done. Entei looks sad as he gazes up at Arceus and waits for someone else to say something.
Arceus' gold eyes were wide with shock and disbelief. "But… I have never assigned any of you to do an exploration…" He raises a brow suspiciously and uneasily. He gazes at the other Legendaries that are sitting on their assigned seats. They all look too stunned and horrified to say anything about this crisis.
Suicune frowns and looks at Arceus quizzically. "You called out to us in our minds and told us to investigate an island off the coast of the Kanto Region."
Arceus frowns skeptically. "If there is a new island, then Groudon would have notified me about it." The God Pokémon looks over at the landmass lord skeptically. Groudon shrugs in his spot. "I didn't sense any new land formation, Arceus. If I didn't make the land, then it isn't real. Someone or something must have put the island up as a realistic illusion to trick bypassers." Groudon states thoughtfully as he taps his chin.
The Legendaries murmur amongst themselves thoughtfully while Arceus remains silent. Then the God Pokémon speaks. "Well, whoever has told you about this island must have used my voice as an undercover to lure you into a trap. But the questions are who would be able to mimic my voice effectively and how has it concealed its identity at the same time?"
The Legendaries chatter amongst themselves about the possibilities of who the perpetrator would be. Suicune, Cresselia, and Entei lower their heads in remorse. Suddenly Mewtwo floats up. "What are we going to do about rescuing Darkrai and Raikou?" He asks worriedly.
The Legendaries glance at Mewtwo before they look at Arceus. Arceus looks thoughtful before he looks down at Suicune carefully. "You say that Darkrai and Raikou were dragged into a dimensional portal?" He asks.
Suicune nods. "You're absolutely sure?" Arceus asks again. Suicune nods again. "Yes, Sir. We have seen Palkia create portals and we know what the occasional dimensional portal would look-" Suicune stops herself when a thought hits her. Then the water dog looks at Palkia with hopeful eyes.
Uncomfortable by the water dog's stare, Palkia shrugs cluelessly. "What?"
Suicune walks over to the space Pokémon and gazes pleadingly up at her. "Palkia, you're a Pokémon that can control dimensions. Surely you can locate the dimension where Darkrai and Raikou are." The Legendaries hold hopeful looks as they look intently at Palkia. Palkia looks thoughtful before she shrugs. "I could, but there are a million different dimensions out there. Darkrai and Raikou could be in any of them."
Deoxys and Mewtwo float up and hold determined looks on their faces. "Well, then we'll just have to look inside each dimension, won't we?" Deoxys states confidentially.
Palkia frowns. "We would need much more than a group of Legendaries to look through each dimension…"
"Remember the army that has helped us defeat Terotrey? We could ask for assistance again and the Pokémon may spread out the word about the missing Legendaries. That way if anyone knows about Raikou or Darkrai's whereabouts, then they can notify us."
The Legendaries seem to approve of this plan. Then Arceus says, "Very well. We all will be involved with this search. Get as many people involved in the search as possible. Do whatever it takes to bring back Darkrai and Raikou. If you happen to find the perpetrator, then bring him here; I would like to have a talk with him. Everyone is dismissed." The God Pokémon steps down from his pedestal and stares at the Legendaries for a moment. Then he walks towards the entrance door and leaves the room.
The Legendaries glance at each other before they stand up and follow their leader. While they go towards their separate ways, the Legendaries hope that Raikou and Darkrai are safe somewhere in the world.
Please be safe, boys…
-ooo-
Mewtwo and Deoxys fly through the sky together as they look around for two certain Pokémon. Even though it is a nice evening, they can't waste any time to enjoy the night.
They see a large meadow ahead and watch a certain dragon chasing after a smaller being. Deoxys and Mewtwo dive towards the duo and land a few feet away from them. The psychics know that the two Pokémon are close friends of Raikou and they would be willing to help the Legendaries find him.
Skyler chases after a hysteric Roselia with annoyed eyes. The Roselia laughs his head off as he gazes over his shoulder and runs even faster to avoid being caught. He then looks ahead and sees Mewtwo and Deoxys before him with crossed arms.
Jefferson Drewyer Roselia's smile fades and he screeches down to a complete halt. He stops a few feet in front of the psychics and he grins widely. Unfortunately, Skyler trips over Jeff and lands on top of the small flower.
"ACK! DUDE, SKYLER! LIKE, GET OFFA ME!" Jeff shrieks from under Skyler's body. He flails his rosy hands wildly and screams in anxiety. Skyler shakes his head from his dizzy spell and realizes that he is sitting on his friend. He stands up and looks down at a flattened Roselia. He picks Jeff up and fluffs him out before he sets the flower Pokémon down. Jeff holds his head and shakes the dizziness off before he rubs his arms.
The boys glance at the patient Legendaries and then grin like idiots. Without warning, they grab the psychics and hug the daylights out of them.
"Hey, mates! Long time no see, eh?" Skyler hugs the psychics by their shoulders and grins through his fangs. Roselia climbs up to the dragon's snout and nuzzles the psychics' faces affectionately. "Hey, dudes! How's the life with the Legendaries going?" Jeff asks.
Mewtwo manages to pull away from the hug. He glares disapprovingly at the two Pokémon while Deoxys simply returns the hug. "It's been a while, boys…" Deoxys says as she breaks away from the hug with a smile on her face.
Her smile suddenly turns into a serious frown. "We need your guys' help." Deoxys says quietly. Her change of attitude goes by unnoticed by the optimistic Pokémon. The two boys simply grin. "What service may we simple beings do for the great Legendaries?" Jeff says dramatically as he bows down to the psychics from Skyler's shoulder.
Mewtwo crosses his arms as he glares at the childish Roselia. This is no time to fool around! Mewtwo decides to cut straight to the point. "Raikou and Darkrai are missing."
Jeff nearly topples over Skyler's head out of shock. Skyler stares at Mewtwo as if the psychic has just shared a sick joke with them. "W-What…?" Jeff squeaks as sits on Skyler's snout and stares horrifically at Mewtwo. The Pokémon look at Deoxys and see that she has a grim look on her face as well.
"Suicune has told us about what happened. Someone has taken Darkrai and Raikou to another dimension. We need help with looking for those two through each dimension before something happens to them." Mewtwo explains coolly.
Skyler and Jeff couldn't believe their ears. Their good old buddy Raikou and another Legendary are missing? Are they all right? How long would it take to find the Legendaries? The Pokémon are certain of one thing as they narrow their eyes in determination.
They are going to save their friend.
"We'll help with the search. When we find whoever has taken Raikou, we're gonna kick his ass!" Jeff throws some cheesy punches in the air while Skyler nods in agreement.
Mewtwo nods in acknowledgement before he and Deoxys start to fly through the sky. Skyler follows the psychics while Jeff holds onto his antennas for dear life. It is quite obvious that the flowery being is terrified of heights.
"Don't worry, Jeff. I won't let you fall." Skyler reaches over his head and pats the Roselia's head softly. Jeff meekly nods but he continues to hold onto the dragon's antennas tightly.
"So what were you chasing Jeff for?" Deoxys asks as she looks at Skyler. It is obvious that she wants to start a conversation to pass by the time while they look for more assistants. Mewtwo remains quiet as he focuses on his destination and the conversation at the same time.
"Oh, that. Well, earlier I had gathered some Berries for dinner. Then a certain someone ate all of the Berries and didn't bother to save some for me." Skyler glares up at the Roselia on his forehead. Deoxys giggles softly. The boys always bicker about the most ridiculous things but their quarrels are often amusing to the DNA psychic.
"Shucks, dude. I was, like, hungry!" Jeff protests as he looks down pleadingly at his best friend. "You said that you weren't hungry so I helped myself!"
"That doesn't mean that you can eat all of the Berries! I spent all evening getting the food!" Skyler spat. Then the two Pokémon begin to argue with each other and Mewtwo groans in annoyance.
'This is going to be a long night…' Mewtwo thinks to himself. Deoxys only smiles at the boys as they continue to follow Mewtwo towards their next destination.
-ooo-
"Darkrai and Raikou are gone?"
Suicune nods to the Charizard and Rhydon before her. She has just finished telling the tribe leaders about her predicament and the siblings look stunned beyond belief. Nearby the leaders are Ulrik, Flame, Shadow, and several other Pokémon tribe members. The Pokémon look shocked as they gawk at the water dog.
Atsila finally regains his strict position. "I see…" He mutters as he rubs his temples tiredly. Bouldarin watches Suicune carefully as the water dog sits down and waits for the leaders to say something else.
"Arceus has asked everyone to keep a look out for Raikou and Darkrai in case they come back. But in the meantime, some Pokémon need to come back with me to the Hall of Legends so we can start on the search tomorrow morning. We really need all the help that we can get." Suicune says softly. Suddenly tears begin to form in her eyes. "I… I don't know if Raikou and Darkrai are safe right now, but I'm so worried about them… Especially Raikou…"
Atsila notices Suicune's sadness and leans over to cup her chin. He makes the water dog look up at him. "Don't worry, Suicune. We'll help in every way possible. Raikou has done so much to help our tribes, and I think that now is the time that we should return the favor…"
Suicune sniffles and smiles as she nods. The old Charizard lets go of Suicune and the water dog wipes away the incoming tears in her eyes. "Thank you…" She murmurs.
"Do not mention it, Suicune. We will do everything in our power to find Raikou and Darkrai." Bouldarin places a fist over his heart and bows before Suicune. Then he straightens up. "Let me announce about the plan to everyone outside and then I'll send my tribe of Rhyhorns down to the Hall of Legends with you." With that said, Bouldarin walks past Suicune and leaves the hut.
The room occupants stay at their spots and glance at each other briefly. Suddenly Bouldarin's voice shatters the silence. "EVERYONE, I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE!"
The Pokémon turn quiet as they listen to the Rhydon's speech. "Atsila and I have just received the news that Raikou and Darkrai have disappeared." The Pokémon outside gasp in shock and disbelief. Then Bouldarin speaks again. "By Arceus' orders, we must search high and low throughout the lands for Raikou and Darkrai. Atsila's tribe will search far and wide as they spread the word out about the Legendaries' disappearance. My tribe will go with Suicune towards the Hall of Legends to look for the two Legendaries through each dimension that Palkia will summon."
Bouldarin pauses before he speaks again. "Be proud to serve the Legendaries. Do whatever you can to find Raikou and Darkrai. If anyone has any information that will help us find the creators of life, then inform me or Atsila as soon as possible. FOR THE LEGENDARIES!"
The Pokémon roar in agreement while Bouldarin returns into the hut. He wipes some sweat off his forehead as he smiles at Suicune. Suicune smiles back. "Thank you again…" She murmurs.
He then returned inside the throne room, wiping some sweat off his forehead and smiled at Suicune. "Thanks again, everyone…" She murmured.
The Pokémon nod and Atsila stands up from his seat. "I will go with you and Bouldarin to search for Raikou and Darkrai through each dimension. My tribe knows about what to do." He places an aged hand on Suicune's head and pets her slightly. The duo look and Bouldarin and nod before everyone leaves the hut. As the three leaders reach to the ground, Bouldarin calls out to his Rhyhorns. "Boys, let's make haste! We're leaving now and we're going to camp in the Hall of Legends overnight so the search will begin first thing tomorrow morning! Everyone else knows about what they need to do!"
All the Rhyhorns follow the three leaders through the foliage while the rest of the Pokémon go to different directions. The search for the two missing Legendaries has begun.
Meanwhile, a lone being sits on a tree branch as she watches the tribes spit up. She remains at her spot as she lazily places a twig over her lips. Once the Pokémon are gone, she jumps off the branch and lands gracefully on the ground. She flicks her twig away as she steps up to the moonlight. The girl is a black and white Grovyle with strange black marks on her lips and forehead. Her blades are longer and slimmer while her head blade has a curled tip at the end. Her only accessories are a Star Piece necklace and a digital watch on her wrist.
Suddenly the watch starts to make beeping noises. The Grovyle looks at her watch before she presses a button. She holds her wrist up while a blue hologram of a pink Lucario's head pops up. The Grovyle smiles. "Hey, Laki. Did you get the bulldozer?" She asks quietly.
Lacaria grins. "Yep! We got it, Cryssy! We're good to go!"
Crystal smiles again. "How did you get it so fast from those Rockets? Honestly, I didn't think that you would get it until at least tomorrow morning."
Suddenly the pink Lucario frowns uneasily. "Well, I kinda had to bite the man since he was alone with it…"
Crystal groans. "Laki…"
"But I swear that my bite only put him to sleep!" Laki exclaims. "I didn't overdose him with too much sleeping powder. Too much of it could kill him and you know that I wouldn't do something like that unless it's necessary!"
The Grovyle is silent until she sighs. "It's fine, Laki. You did what you had to do to get the bulldozer. That's all that matters. I'm glad that you didn't go too far with using the powder." Crystal smiles reassuringly at her friend.
Laki returns the smile. Suddenly she looks curious. "So what do you need the bulldozer for anyway?"
Crystal smirks. "Just bring it to Terotrey's Realm in the plateau terrain at six tomorrow morning and you'll find out."
Laki gasps in horror as she stares at her friend with wide eyes. "But Cryssy, you know that place is dangerous! We never go in there; it's forbidden! You made that rule yourself!" Laki protests.
Crystal shrugs carelessly. "Just do it and trust me."
"But-"
"Lacaria." Crystal's voice turns hard as she glares at the Lucario. Lacaria hesitates for a moment before she sighs.
"… OK, Cryssy." Laki sighs in defeat. Then she looks up at Crystal with unsure red eyes. "I just hope that you know about what you're doing." With that said, Laki ends the call.
Crystal smiles as she lowers her wrist and turns to walk through the foliage. "Oh, don't worry, Laki. I know exactly what I'm doing…"
-ooo-
Entei pants as he reaches to the mountains where Drendan and Heatran reside in. He finds a cave and walks inside as he shakes the snow off his fur.
Entei walks down the tunnel and begins to search high and low for the Lucario and exiled Legendary. He greatly hopes that the duo hasn't moved to a new home; otherwise the entire search would be pointless. Entei runs through different caves and comes across either more paths or dead ends. Entei is thankful that he's a fire type; the heat from the caves has no effect on him.
When Entei comes across another dead end, he slumps down in exhaustion. Sweat falls from his forehead as he rests against the wall and rubs his aching paws. His heart drops when he realizes that the duo must have moved away to another place. Entei stands up and starts to leave until he hears footsteps coming from behind him.
Entei tenses as he turns around and growls at the intruders. He relaxes when he sees Drendan and Heatran before him with bewildered looks on their faces.
"Heatran! Drendan! Thank goodness that I found you!" Entei sighs in relief as he sits down. Heatran and Drendan drop their guards as they sit down and sigh in relief as well.
"You have been looking for us, Entei? Why?" Heatran asks curiously. Other than Raikou, Deoxys, and Mewtwo, Entei is the closest Legendary friend that Heatran has. Even before Heatran's exile, the fire Legendaries are like brothers. They talked with each other only once after the exile and that was when they were celebrating Raikou's victory against Terotrey a month ago. It's honestly a surprise for Heatran to know that the fire lion has been looking for him.
Entei wastes no time to explain about the crisis to the duo. Heatran and Drendan listen to the fire lion's story intently. When Entei finishes, the Pokémon are stunned as they stare at the lion with wide eyes and open mouths.
"Raikou and Darkrai have been captured?" Drendan asks uncertainly. Entei nods grimly. "Yes. I came here to see if you guys will help us find Raikou and Darkrai. I fear that the worst has yet to happen…" Entei shivers at the thought of losing Raikou and Darkrai.
Heatran snaps out of his stupor as he puts on a look of determination through narrowed eyes. "Not under my watch." Drendan and Entei look at the fire toad with surprise and curiosity. Heatran stands up. "Raikou has helped me see the light a month ago and I won't let him die easily. Not after how much he has helped me."
Drendan stands up as well. "I promised Raikou that I'd help him with anything. Heatran and I will go with you to find Darkrai and Raikou." The Lucario bows before Entei respectfully. Heatran nods to Entei with a smile on his face. Entei returns the nod and smiles as he stands up.
"Wonderful. This will help us out so much. Thank you." Entei says. Heatran and Drendan say nothing as they turn and leave the cave. Entei follows the duo and leaves the mountains within a few minutes. During the rush, the trio hopes that Raikou and Darkrai are safe at wherever they are.
-ooo-
Meanwhile, a large figure flies through a deserted valley as it looks around desperately for its captives. It has checked everywhere and inspected each plateau and sandy dune carefully to see if the trio were hiding from him.
Terotrey growls at his luck as he snarls. "Raikou… Darkrai… Ash Ketchum… Where are you three?" He thinks aloud darkly. "You can't hide forever… I will find you…"
He then feels a sharp sting on his palm. He glances at his hand and watches his bleeding hand vaporize before it turns solid once more. He knows that somehow, someway, he is still alive after everything that happened. After his treason against Alpha and Omega and his encounter with the Legendaries, he is still alive…
Terotrey smirks as he thinks about a certain Legendary that was exiled not too long ago. He suddenly calls out to her. "Blackfire!"
He waits until a shadowy aura appears before him. It takes the form of a large horse and blinks its purple eyes at him. Its black fur flows gracefully through the wind while the silver horn on its forehead twinkles.
"Yes, Terotrey?" The mysterious feminine being holds her head up high as she closes her eyes in an unimpressed manner. Terotrey smirks as he places his scaly hand on Blackfire's cheek. He ignores her tense reaction as he leans closely to her face.
"I want you to summon the robots to me. It seems that I cannot find my captives. Since two of them are Legendaries, the robots should still be able to locate them." Terotrey says unusually softly.
Blackfire's eyes widen when she hears this. Legendaries? Many emotions run through Blackfire; guilt for betraying her old mate and Legendary friends; anger for Terotrey and the things that he has forced her and the other exiled Legendaries to do; shame for everything that she has done herself; and sorrow for the things that she and her exiled allies are forced to do for the sake of protecting her daughter.
Blackfire wisely says nothing as she gives the demon a dirty look. Refusal would end up having Terotrey giving her punishment. Even begging him to spare the Legendaries would end up getting Blackfire punished. She could only do what she is permitted to do; remain silent.
Terotrey smirks knowingly. "Well said, Blackfire. Very well said." He whispers. Then he kisses her forehead and purposely ignores her flinch. Without another word, he flies off and resumes his search for the heroes.
Blackfire waits until Terotrey is gone before she lets out her disgust. She shudders at remembering his cold touch before she turns serious and remembers her job. She sighs as her form fades into the shadows. After a moment of silence, she quietly cries out her anguish and shame.
"Arceus… Crystal… I'm so sorry…"
Comments would be appreciated, please!
