Author's note: K, just for those of you who were wondering, Treecko is now a Grovyle so when I say Grovyle, I mean Treecko, no I mean Grovyle, wait, that's not what I mean, what do I mean? I don't know what I mean. You know what I'm talking about. Sorry about some of the Disclaimers/A/N the bold wasn't working right.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or Pokemon Mystery dungeon, or some of the characters like Grovyle and Celebi ME NO OWN, I DO own, however, the ocs, (other than the fact that they are pokemon) and this story.
Dusknoir laughed and pointed his hand at Grovyle's oncoming form unleashing a powerful Shadowball that pulsed with darkness. It hit Grovyle hard in the stomach and he slammed to the ground.
"You really think you can win?" Dusknoir's scornful voice echoed across the barren plains, "against me?" Grovyle struggled to his feet and attacked the Ghost pokemon with Leafblade, losing his balance as he did so. Dusknoir sidestepped the attack and shot another Shadowball at Grovyle. The grass pokemon rolled to the side and leapt into the air, shooting a Bullet Seed at Dusknoir. The flying seeds caught Dusknoir in the face, but he was unfazed and retaliated with a Shadowpunch that sent Grovyle flying backwards into a rock. Grovyle moaned with pain and wearily tried to get to his feet but wobbled and fell.
Dusknoir advanced on the fallen grass pokemon and Shadowpunched him again. Grovyle was thrown backwards once more but landed this time on his feet.
"I will let you live if you turn over the scroll," Dusknoir growled at his stubbornly standing opponent.
"Never…" Grovyle panted and let out and involuntary gasp of pain as he stumbled backwards.
"Then DIE," Dusknoir shouted at Grovyle as he moved forward with his hands pointed at Grovyle's heart.
"NO!" A black and white blur shot at Dusknoir from the side and slammed him to the ground. Absol stood, having somehow shaken of the Sableye and bleeding from multiple wounds, he faced Dusknoir. Absol launched his body at the ghost pokemon and threw him backward with the weight of his body. Dusknoir stumbled as Absol readied a Razorwind and shot it at his enemy who fell backwards into the Sableye as he was hit with the vicious attack.
"No…" Dusknoir stepped back and vanished into the shadows with his Sableye following closed behind.
Grovyle sat up and struggled to his feet as Absol collapsed onto the ground, his legs too weak to continue to support his body. He lay on his side and his chest heaved, each breath taking an inordinate amount of strength. Grovyle rushed to his friend's side and ran his claw over Absol's gashed and bleeding flank. Absol twitched with pain and let out a groan, turning his body onto his other side and winced.
"We need to get back…to the…cave," he said, still gasping for breath and attempting to get back on his feet, "before…they…get back." Grovyle nodded and began to haul the disaster pokemon towards the cover of plants that hid the entrance but stopped when Absol let out another moan of pain.
"We need…to find…the scroll…before they do," Absol gasped, "I can get…to the cave…by myself." Absol heaved himself to his paws then took a few steps in the direction of the cave, moving with a pronounced limp.
………………………………….
On the other side of the chasm, at the bottom of a collapsed tower, two red eyes gleamed in the darkness. They glared at the gray figure in front of it.
"Master Dialga, we were unable to obtain the scroll , however, we now know exactly where the rebels are sheltering…" The two eyes gleamed and a growl could be heard.
"Yes, Master Dialga, of course, we will surround the area and capture them." The red spots of light flashed and slowly faded as Dusknoir backed away.
Umm…that's umm… sort of a cliffhanger? This chapter wasn't really good but whatever. I really like Absol, he's awesome, yes he is. I have been writing a lot lately and will probably get the fifth chapter up real soon. Review please.
