I apologize for taking a very long time to update. To be honest, I haven't really been in the mood to write since Legendary Truth or Dare has been deleted. But I've managed to come around and at least finish this story before I go on to start up a new one. Although, it may be some time before the final chapter is out. It all depends on my moods. The rating has been changed to M due to there being violence in this chapter. I'd really hate to see this get deleted too.

However, I will have a back up copy on FanFic Underground. The link's on my profile. Come and join up if you've had enough of . By all means continue your stories. I'm not trying to deter you from them. I love reading what people write. O.K. Enough said. Please read the chapter and review. I'd like to know what people think. Don't review and well... I'm sure Pecha will eliminate you during her New Chu Order takeover!

I can't tell how long exactly Angela and I stayed liplocked through all the Thunder I released. It could have been minutes, hours, days, heck, maybe even years before we finally broke apart, me breaking off the Thunder attack. Angela giggled in delight as the electricity danced about her body. It was like her body was immune to being paralyzed. She cooed and purred at the feeling and I could only stand there, smiling blissfully as her entire body quivered in the delightful feeling.

"Oh Flash!" she said. "This feels so good! Why hadn't you done this sooner? I love it!"

I could only stand there staring at her dreamily as the electricity died down. Her purring continued, eyes closed, happy smile, and tail wagging. She only spoke once her eyes opened again.

"Flash," she said. "That was the best thing you have ever done to me. I-I love you."

I smiled so widely, my jaw could have possibly cracked and froze my face like that. She loved me. She truly loved me. It was the best feeling in the world to be loved, and the best part was I loved her right back with all my heart. This was the girl I would rather spend my entire life with than anyone else. She was mine and no one else's. "I love you too," I said, my heart fluttering like crazy, my mind all hazy. This was the happiest moment of my entire life.

Angela had so much happiness in her eyes, so much joy and love. Something told me she wouldn't want to be with anyone else but me as well. I'm glad I turned her feelings away from Michael and onto me. There was nothing that could ruin this moment, right? It was a blissful moment even as I kissed Angela once more, her returning the kiss. We stayed like that for just a little while longer before breaking apart, gasping for air due to lack of oxygen.

"Looks like it's getting lighter," I said, looking up into the sky. "We should probably get back before someone wakes up and worries."

"Yeah," Angela said. "We should."

However, just before we could turn around and walk off, the sound of a treebranch snapping was heard. I twirled around so fast my head could have popped off. Angela and I looked out toward the forest as someone stepped out from behind a tree. I couldn't see the guy too well, but his outline revealed that he was very huge.

"Good evening," he said. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything... cute."

"It's you!" I heard Angel whispered from behind me in immediate horror. "Wh-What do you want?"

"Isn't it simple by now?" the guy asked. "As if that night wasn't clear enough to get through your thick skull, perhaps I shall remind you once more. You, Angela Duncan, I want you dead."

My eyes narrowed, too many thoughts coming to mind at once. How was this guy able to understand Angela? Why did he want her dead? One thing was for certain though: this was the guy that attacked our group that night at the hotel, the guy that had, without any mercy, killed Virgil, and I had barely got to know him.

"Wh-Why do you want me dead?" Angel asked. "What have I ever done to you?"

"It's not about what you did to me," the man said as he began walking towards us. "It's about what you know what I did. And for that, you must die."

I took a step forward, raising up my paws as a shield to protect Angela as electricity sparked out from my horns. "I wouldn't take another step if I were you," I growled threatenly. "Doing so would be your last."

"Tch," the guy tsked. "If you want to die so badly for her, then go right ahead."

"You were warned," I said, letting off a powerful Thunder right off the bat. Unfortuantely, the man quickly sidestepped, the Thunder passing by harmlessly. "Darn it!" I fired off another Thunder, only this time, a green barrier formed over him, the Thunder harmlessly bouncing off it and richocheting into the air.

"Flash!" Angela whimpered, tapping my shoulder and pointing over towards the treeline. I followed the direction she was pointing to and saw what appeared to be a Froslass hanging by the trees, watching, keeping the man safe. This was bad for me. In my focus to protect Angela, I failed to realize that I could be in trouble if this guy had any pokemon. And it just so happened that he did. How many more there were I couldn't tell. All I had to do was keep my guard up.

I released another Thunder, aiming at the man. However, an unseen attack suddenly collided with my Thunder and cancelled it out. I growled, looking up into the air to see a Skarmory up above. This wasn't looking good.

"Are you quite finished yet?" the man asked, looking rather unamused. "If you are, I'll take my turn now. Froslass, use Ice Beam."

I glanced over at the Froslass as it shot out a whitish blue beam at me. I quickly sent out another wave of Thunder to countract the Ice Beam, but at this point, I was starting to get tired due to using too much electricity. I did, however, stop the Ice Beam from making contact. However, the nex thing I knew, something grabbed me on my left ankle. I looked down, panic striken to see a Garchomp's head looking right back up at me, smirking. My eyes widened in horror as the Garchomp was ordered a Slash to my body, which he did. I yelled out in pain, deep scratchmarks being left on my body.

"Now take him for a ride," the man said. "Underground."

I barely had anytime to do anything as I was pulled under and dragged all along through the earth. Breathing was quite difficult for me to do, seeing as how there was no oxygen to fill my lungs underneath. In fact, they were just ready to burst. Blackness envisioned me. I couldn't tell if it was from the ground I was underneath or I was actually losing consciouness. Everything was a blur up until I found myself lying upon my back, gasping for air.

I slowly pushed myself up, taking a look around the area I was at. I was still right where I was before being dragged underneath, only my heart almost stopped dead as I saw the man before me, holding Angel in one hand by her neck, slowly squeezing the life out of her.

His heart was racing a mile a minute, excited that he was finally at this point and time after so long of giving chase. Here he was, Jerry Tagger, holding the being he so long hunted to kill: Angela Duncan. He couldn't help but give a smile of pleasure as he knew what he was about to do. But first, he had to calm himself. No need of losing his head in the excitement and finishing her off too quickly now. He concentrated on controlling his breathing, which was short and panting. Once he had that under his control, his heart slowed back down to a steady beat.

Now, the next thing he had to think about was how he was going to kill her. That drew up a big blank on his mind. He'd spent so long hunting down Angela that he hadn't thought the slightest on how he was going to kill her. He looked around, trying to figure out just how he was going to kill her. Squeezing the life out of her would be somewhat fun, but it'd be over all too quickly.

His eyes stopped by the lake. The thought of drowning her would be fun, scaring her, making her wonder when he would actually come around to killing her as he would dip her in for a few seconds before letting her breath. But still, that would end things all too quickly for him. He wanted her to have the most agonizing death that he would remember for years to come.

He continued looing around, wondering. Having his pokemon beat her to death was too easy. Crushing her with anything would be just as easy as well. His mind raced, wondering just how to kill the being he held until finally, his eyes settled on something, setting his goal on how to kill her. He smirked, turnign his attention to his pokemon.

"Froslass, Garchomp," he said. "Go hold the Ampharos up. I want him to see what I'm about to do with his pretty little girlfriend." Froslass and Garchomp both nodded and rushed over to Flash, hoisitng him up roguhly by his arms, Garchomp's right claw holding Flash's head up to watch was about to happen. "You care a lot about this creature, don't you?" The Ampharos growled, obviously offended that he had called Angela Duncan a creature, but he didn't care. The time for her death was upon hand.

I could feel my heart starting to break. I knew what was going to happen. I knew what this man was capable of and what he was going to do. I was so stupid as to let myself take the bait and wear myself out. But then again, no matter what I did, the end result would wind up with me being right here, being held up by two of his pokemon while I watched what the man did next.

I watched as teh man slowly raised his free hand up to Angela's right front paw and clasped it ratehr tightly, causing Angela to wince. My eyes widened, knowing exactly what he was going to do. "Don't!" I cried out, but my cry went unheard as I heard her paw snap and Angela's blood-curdling cry. My heart practically stopped seeing this. I whimpered, tears welling up in my eyes as the man released her paw and started to go for the left paw.

"You know what they say about love, don't you?" the man asked, grabbing Angela's left front paw, causing Angela to cry. "They say that sometimes, love hurts, especially when it comes to having to hurt the one you love." With that, he snapped Angela's left front paw, causing yet another scream to emit from her. I sturggled against the pokemon who held me to attack the man that was hurting my Angela. He would pay for this. But the pokemon held strong, keeping me bound to where I was as the man reached for her back legs.

"Of course, in this predicament, I'm the one doing the hurting while you watch," the man said, breaking Angela's back right paw, followed by her left.

"NO!" I cried out, though it may have gone unheard due to Angela's screaming. Tears were rolling down both our eyes. Hers due to the unimaginable pain she was going through and me having to watch this torture. Here I was, once again, having to watch someone I love die because I was weak. All I've ever wanted was to be strong enough to protect the ones I loved, but that proved pointless now since I was powerless to do anything to stop this man. I continued to watch as he reached for her tail.

"Flash!" Angela cried out right before her tail was broken next. More screaming came from her. I began struggling to be free of my imprisonment, but still the pokemon held on tightly. I could feel the Garchomp's claws digging into my head, drawing blood out of it as the man reached for Angela's right ear.

"Don't you touch her!" I screamed at him. "You've had your fun. Now let her go!" A punch to the gut by the Garchomp shut me up quick as I coughed, but his hold remained. I watched as the man broke Angela's right ear. She whimpered, mouth open to scream, but it was more silent now. Her voice must have gone hoarse. I sobbed as the man broke the left ear next. I began thrashing around violently, desperately trying to get free.

The Garchomp delivered a kick right to my throat. It felt like the wind got knocked out of me there as my vision blurred. However, what I saw next made my vision go red. The man's free hand grabbed Angela's bottom side and he raised her into the air. He raised a knee and then I knew what he was doing. "Oh hell no," I whispered hoarsely as he brought her down upon his knee fast. I heard the most sickening crunch I could ever hear and watched as Angela's limp body fell to the ground. That pushed me past the line. Fury clouded my mind as I unleashed a newfound Thunder into the pokemon holding me, though the voltage of the Thunder was much more powerful now than it had been before.

I felt myself being let go as the pokemon screamed in pain from the voltage I released. I didn't stand around for them to recover and attack me though. All I did do was run straight for the man for hurting Angela, but before I reached him, the Skarmory swooped down and whacked me with a Steel Wing. I fell to the ground and felt the warm, sticky substance of blood oozing out from my face. I got up quickly and turned around to see the Skarmory making another round, its wings glowing. This would be the last time it would do any harm to me or anyone else.

Just as it made contact, I grabbed its wing and held on tightly, quickly spinning and slamming it hard on the ground. Moving quickly, I placed a paw right on his chest, over where his heart was and released all the Thunder I could muster right into him. I must have held up for a good minute before I broke off the attack. Apparently, I never heard the Skarmory scream in agonizing pain, for I was too blinded by rage to even take notice. What I did see was the lifeless form of the Skarmory lying there upon the ground. I couldn't care less though. My main target was the man.

However, before I could make an attempt to move, I was frozen in place by an Ice Beam. I growled, seeing the Froslass up against a tree, panting as she tried holding herself steady. The Garchomp, however, came at me. I was broken free of the ice, but was now lying upon my back receiving blows to the face. He even headbutted me followed by slashing right across my left eye. That had really done it. Before he could do anything else, I brought my head upwards, slamming my head against his. The sudden attack left him dazed. I took the opportune moment to throw him off me and, despite the tremndous headache I was feeling, I whacked him real hard in the head with an Iron Tail.

The Garchomp staggered back, tripped, and fell. I leapt on him and began giving my blows to his face, releasing what electricity I had left into his body. I stopped, however, for I heard someone whimper out, "Flash!" and then fall silent. I ceased my assault on the Garchomp, taking one good look at him and realizing that he was no more, what with all the blood on his face and no air coming out from his mouth.

I panted, not realizing that I used up a lot of power. I looked up at Angela only to have my heart ripped in two completely. There she lied, unmoving. Her eyes, though open and filled with fear, were empty, like a soul just departed from the world. I slowly stood up, my legs trembling and my breath shallow. I could feel something coming, like something I've been holding in. I knew what it was, but I just couldn't accept the belief of it. "Angela?" I said softly, moving toward her. However, in that moment, the man stepped out in between her and I, looking down at me as I looked up at him, getting a real, long good look at his face.

"You stupid, worhtless worm!" he said rather coolly. "You're going to pay for disposing of my pokemon. A life for a life. One's already been settled. Now it's time for yours."

The next thing I knew, I received a rather hard kick to the head, one that sent me flying up against a tree. The back of my head slammed hard against the trunk before I fell to the ground. My vision couldn't hold any longer. Blackness began to enshroud me. I could barely feel anything at this point. All I could see before I slipped into darkness was the huge man walking towards me, ready to kill without a moment's hesitation.
