Chapter 4. The creepy thing Blade was talking about in the last chapter was the Pokemon that killed Sar. Anyone have any idea which Pokemon it was?

Blade, Torch & Mud

The field seemed to go on for miles. Even with all of their running it seemed like it would never end. Well, that is what they thought until they almost ran off the edge of a cliff. Blade had to grab Torch and yank her back before she could go flying over the edge.

"Idiot."

Torch turned and glared at Blade. "Hey! Just because Mud didn't see the cliff edge that doesn't mean she's an idiot!"

"I think he was referring to you Torch," explained Mud.

"Oh. Well, I'm not an idiot!"

"They seem to fight a lot," said Wish. He looked back. "Ummm, there's something coming."

Blade and Torch stopped fighting to see what Wish was talking about. A huge cloud of dust was running towards them. Actually a group of Pokemon were in front of the dust. Tauros. Lots and lots of Tauros.

"Ack!" cried Torch, "A stampede!"

"They look frightened out of their mind," said Mud. "I wonder what caused them to behave like that. It would have to be something very scary."

"Can we please just get out of here before they kill us?" Torch peeked down the cliff. Trees were far below. Too far for comfort. "There's no way we can jump down from here and live."

"The Tauros are coming!" cried Wish.

There was nowhere to run. The Tauros were too close. Suddenly, the cliff edge that the four Pokemon were on broke away, sending the four of them into the air. "Oh Arceus!" cursed Torch as they fell.

Blade

"I can't believe a relative of mine would do something this stupid."

Blade opened his eyes. He was swirling through darkness. Floating before him was a Celebi. Serenity. Her arms were crossed. "I seriously can't believe you can't tap into your powers-my powers."

"What are you talking about?" asked Blade, still floating in this weird darkness. "That one time was a fluke!"

The Celebi placed one of her hands on her head and shook her head. "Blade. You are ridiculous. You are a half-legendary. They can use their powers whenever they want. You know, sometimes I wonder why I saved you from your fate."

"What do you mean?" However, Blade's question was never answered because he woke up.

Blade was lying on the forest floor. Light filtered through the trees over his head. He slowly lifted his head. Where was he? His eyes widen and he quickly got to his feet and looked around. "Torch!" he called, "Mud! Wish!" Nothing.

Where could they be? And where was he? The fall should have killed him but it didn't.

"Oh. You are awake."

Blade turned around, all senses on alert. If whoever it was, was an enemy he would rip through them. He relaxed when he saw it was a female Luxray. Hanging from her black tail was a covered brown basket. "Who are you?"

"Oh right. You are probably very confused." The Luxray put her tail to the ground and the basket slid off. "My name is Yalu. I found you collapsed out here and I wasn't sure if I should move you or not, so I went to my house and brought some food." She gestured to the basket. "Go ahead and eat. You will feel better."

Not wanting to hurt Yalu's feelings, Blade opened the basket which contained a bowl of soup and a small flask of water. Blade sat down on the ground and began eating. Yalu sat down, watching him. "So," said Blade, between bites. "Have you seen a Torchic, a Mudkip or a Garifarig around here?"

Yalu shook her head. "Sorry. Are they friends of yours?"

"Yeah. We fell off a cliff and I got knocked out by a falling rock. We probably got split apart on the fall."

"You mean the cliff above us?"

Blade nodded, noticing that Yalu was staring at him weirdly. "Is something wrong?"

"That cliff is over a hundred feet above us. How could you survive a fall like that?"

Blade shrugged. "I don't know the answer to that question myself."

Mud

Mud cracked open her eyes slowly, her head throbbing painfully. She carefully moved her left paw into her bag of herbs. She pulled out one and put it into her mouth, swallowing the bitter herb. Mud grimaced at the bitter taste but the pain in her head subsided. "Now I know why everyone doesn't want to eat these."

Mud looked around her. She seemed to be in some kind of ancient ruin. Stone buildings covered in moss and foliage surrounded her. "Where am I?" She suddenly remembered falling off the cliff. "Torch! Blade! Wish!" she called. Nothing. "What do I do now?" She didn't know what to do in this sort of situation. It was like the time Torch and her had gotten lost in the forest near the village. Then the two of them got separated and Mud had sat on the ground and cried until Torch had finally found her. Mud knew she couldn't act like she did then in this time.

"I'll look around," she said out loud. "Maybe I'll find them."

Mud froze when she heard a sound from behind her. She turned to see a Pokemon coming out of one of the stone buildings. The Pokemon had a huge gray head that looked like a shield with the same gray material on its legs. Mud couldn't believe it. Sun had told her about these Pokemon. It was a Bastiodon. "How is this possible? They're extinct!"

The Bastiodon slowly turned its head until it was looking right at Mud. It roared and charged at the Mudkip.
