Cyberfire22: Well well, look what we have here! You've got an account! I am working on the plot at the moment, and I've been thinking up good highways to drive this story on. Thank you, and I'm sure we'll hear of each other again ^ ^.

Casamora: You have some clever questions there, my friend:

1. Hhmmmm...now that you say...I really don't know. You can assume it, yes. Heheheh. I'm glad that I'm unique in that way, and shine a light that differs from some others ^ ^.

2. Ah, yes, N. He is a very important character in the story, but sadly, he hasn't come along yet. However, he will turn up very soon so stay tuned. It is the very direction that this story is heading to.

Stalking my fic is fine =)

Sahjil: I'm glad all that typing in this bloody heat payed off to make someone happy ^ ^. I try to at least make every character unique. Heheh. Sharp eyes, my friend, sharp eyes., indeed.

EpicKlauke5: Thanks, and yeah. I have that prob XP.

Luna: Thing is, I want to make that something a Zorua needs learn how to do. Of course, Rebecca doesn't know about telepathy and she needs to really concentrate to speak to humans. That will happen soon enough, strangah.

(blank): Thanks ^ ^! Cool~

Disclaimer: If I owned Pokemon then hell knows what I'd do with it! Well...maybe nothing really dark...

Ch.4- "Of Frantic Pidoves and Killer Zebstrikas"

'What am I going to do with them...?' I shook my head and sighed.

First...there was yelling. Then, there was punching and slashing...and before I knew it...the clearing was in ruins. The ground was split in two; thanks to Fontaine's Earthquake. The trees were on fire and the grass that surrounded them were terribly singed by Hades' Flamethrower (he burned everything down like there was no tommorow!). Surprisingly, they were still attacking each other!

"WILL YOU STOP FIGHTING ALREADY?" I screamed as loud as my lungs could take me. Hearing me shout they turned their heads to me, both in the middle of an assault.

"We have a little errand to attend to, remember?" I added a little have-you-noticed to my voice.

"I sincerely apologize..." Fontaine bowed his head in shame.

"Hmph," Hades looked away and muttered,"it's not my fault this bastard is so self centered." Fontaine's eye twitched with annoyance, but he held in the urge to rip off one of Hades' heads with his horn.

"Just-stop fighting! Even though you two are already evolved, your hearts are still that of a child's! Especially you, Hades." I shot the Hydreigon a quick glare. He tensed and growled a little and his eyes didn't meet mine. His two others heads gazed at the ground.

"Augh...this killed quite a lot of time, guys. Now let me think..." I closed my eyes and thought of my Pokemon...

Hades' already found.

So is Fontaine.

Eleanor (Zebstrika)...I first met her on Route 3.

Eve (Serperior)...I hatched her from on egg in the Dream yard.

Hepheastus (Emboar)...he was the first ever Pokemon I had so he might be at Nuvema Town.

Thaumas (Samurott)...I hatched him from an egg on the coast of Undella Bay.

Havoc (Haxorus)...I hatched him from an egg inside Challenger's Cave.

Sinclair (Dragonite)...I first met him in the lake around Dragon Spiral Tower.

Pandora (Reshiram)...well...I found her inside N's Castle...but how the hell will I get back there?

I then thought of my location; Pinwheel Forest. I was closer to Eleanor, so that would save me some vital time...

"Alright! We're heading to Route 3."

We took a cautious peek at the entrance of Striation City behind a tree, just to make sure there were no Team Plasma grunts anywhere. Everything seemed the same from when I last visited. The same group of people stood in the middle of the road. The buildings were still there, of course. Everything seemed safe and normal.

Seeing no grunts anywhere, we slowly walked away from our cover and into the city. I leaped up onto Fontaine's head. Hades had taken flight over head. The group of people standing near the entrance caught sight of us and erupted in a wave of "ooohhh"s and "aahh"s. We continued to march on, ignoring the fascinated remarks of the group.

"Mommy, look at the pretty Pokemon!" said a little girl in a pink, polka dot dress. Her mother, who was beside her, smiled down at her daughter.

"Well, Molly, let that inspire you to become a great trainer when you grow up, okay, honey?" she stroked Molly's head.

"Woah, dude, check 'em out!" A novice trainer said to his group, pointing at us.

"MOVE IT!" a loud voice erupted from inside the bustling crowd. Suddenly, a man with long, blond hair in a blindingly white tuxedo and shades burst out of the crowd. He stopped dead in his tracts when he saw me.

"OH MY GAAWWDD!" his eyes seemed to sparkle behind the glasses and he cupped his cheeks in an admiring fashion. In a flash, he zoomed up to Fontaine and I, lifting me up from my Pokemon's head.

'W-who is this guy?'

"You are by far the most unique and ADORABLE Pokemon I've ever seen!" the man started laughing and twirling me around, like he was trying to shake my brain out of my head.

"Master Napoleon...please, tell me where you are to run off, next time." an old man in a butler uniform came out of the gawking crowd, panting. His gray hair was smoothed back and the spectacles that lay on his nose were slightly askew.

"Mr. Olivander, look at this dark beauty!" Napoleon beamed at the old man, who's words were ignored. He shoved me in front of his face.

"Oh my, what a stunning little Zorua!" the old man's aging eyes widen in amusement and he pushed his spectacles back into place. My eye twitched with annoyance.

'One bastard is good enough...' I thought and, without hesitation, clamped my jaws on the hands around my body.

"OWW!" Napoleon yelped and withdrew his hand, releasing me. The moment my paws touched the ground, I dashed back up to Fontaine's head and hid behind his poisonous horns and growled at the annoying man, who was whimpering over the small bite wound on his hand. Fontaine turned swiftly and began to flee. All we heard before we zoomed off was Napoleon's surprised gasp.

"So long, you annoying nitwit !" I yelled back to him with a silly face as his figure (as well as the crowd) grew smaller. We dashed out of the city.

Fontaine slowed his jogs as we neared the exit of Striaton City. The lazy sun pummeled the ground with its bright rays. The lustrous arms caressed the plants, and made the water sparkle.

"Hey, Hades, you see anything up there?" I called up to my Dragon Pokemon. hearing no response, I looked up and saw nothing but the blue sky. No black and indigo blotch hovered above us. Perplexed, my eyes searched the tree tops. He was nowhere to be seen.

"That's weird...I don't see Ha-"

CRACK-BOOM!

An ear shattering bolt of thunder raced downward from the previously perfect sky to the woods off to the west, incinerating thousands of tress in the process. Pidove flew into the sky in a panicked haze. My heart skipped a beat, and I flinched from the sudden crack of thunder. Immediately, Fontaine sprinted towards the area as fast as he could. I held on to his head for dear life.

'That has to be Hades...'

We zipped past the DayCare Couple, who had gone out of their houses to inspect the loud boom. The students of the nearby school had done the same and were zipping around in panic. The teachers tended to the terrified children. They shrieked when a blast of fire spewed from the same spot. Upon this, Fontaine quickened his already fast pace, like he was trying to race the speed of light. My heart was pounding with adrenaline. Suddenly, a young Pidove hopped straight into our path in front of us, and Fontaine screeched to a sudden stop. The Pokemon held out her wings in a frantic panic.

"P-please! Help!" she whimpered.

'Agh...,'I looked back to the west,' do we have the time before Hades destroys everything...?'

"What's wrong, child ?" Fontaine asked the panicked Pidove.

"Mother...up in that tree," Pidove pointed her wing at the tree to our left, " she-she's not moving..and-and," her eyes began to tear, "I don't know what to do!" I felt a pang in my heart when the small Pokemon began to cry, her face down and hidden by her wings.

"Don't worry, kid. We''ll get her down and see what we can do." I reassured her. Pidove looked up with teary eyes.

"T-thank you, kind strangers!" I smiled at her.

"Fontaine, stretch as high as you could up that tree and I'll jump up from your head, alright?" the Scolipede nodded and walked to the tree. He stood on his hind legs with his front ones layed on the trunk of the tree. Luckily, he stretched up high enough for me to be able to reach a low branch. I leaped up and landed on the branch.

"Thanks." I called down to Fontaine. I looked about in the tree, and let out an annoyed sigh when I saw no sign of the Unfezant. Just when I was about to give up, I caught a glimpse of black and gray feathers.

'Aha!' I hopped to one branch after another. I finnaly got close enough to see the Pokemon. She was sprawled out on a large and thick branch. Her wings were bent in a terrible way and was bleeding. She was, indeed, knocked out and limp. Suddenly, it hit me.

'How am I going to get her down?" my eyes scanned the area, but all I saw was foliage. I looked back down at the injured Pokemon.

'I gotta hurry up...or else we're gonna lose her...'

I took a deep breath, and buried myself under her. Now covered with feathers, I slowly and painstakingly stood up, lifting up the limp body. I didn't go far before I collapsed out of fatigue. Were Unfezants supposed to be this heavy?

"Would you like some help with that, miss Zorua?" I looked to my left and saw a Volbeat.

"Ah...yes. Thank you." I smiled at him and crawled out from under Unfezant's body. The Pokemon slipped under the other wing and beat his wings, lifting the body off the branch. I watched as he carefully carried the Flying Pokemon to the ground. When Volbeat laid Unfezant in front of Pidove, I jumped to the lowest branch and out of the tree. Pidove rushed to her fallen mother in tears.

"Her wing is severely broken. The bleeding has stopped, though." Fontaine observed the wing.

"Do you know where your father is?" I asked Pidove. She looked up at me.

"My father...he's not..not" more tears began to roll down and I know I shouldn't press her.

"I-I'm sorry I asked such a question..."

"I could bring your mother back to my family, little Pidove." said the Volbeat," and Illuminise has been begging for a playmate!"

"I-I can?" said the Pidove, eyes even more teary than before.

" Of course." Volbeat smiled kindly.

"T-thank you, all! I don't know how to repay you..."

"No need for repayment, child." Fontaine smiled.

"Alright. We'll be off then." Volbeat said. He carried the Unfezant's limp body and flew into the air, gesturing Pidove to follow him. She looked back at Fontaine and I.

"Thank you! I hope we can meet again another day." She bowed deeply and flew off with the Volbeat until they were out of sight.

"Now that...was a good feeling." I smiled with pleasure.

"Indeed...but we must continue our own journey, no?" Fontaine lowered his head, and I jumped on it.

"Right."

The trees and grass flew by us, and Fontaine screeched to a stop, finally reaching the area and discovering what was creating the catastrophe; Eleanor and Hades. His face was bright red with anger and fury. Eleanor had a sly smile on her stripped face. The ground was scorched and beaten by flames and lightning. The area, which was a large as a football field, lay in a crumpled mess of disasters and singed trees. Burnt stumps lay everywhere. I think we were a tad too late...

"You're such a loser, ya lame dragon! You say you can kick ASS! If you can, you would've already kicked THIS ass by now!" Eleanor sneered up at the furious dragon, sparks flying off her horns.

"YOU SHUT YOUR FREAKI-"Hades screamed at the top of his lungs, but I interrupted him.

"Hades, you get down here this instant! If I don't have my eyes on you, you're burning the place up!" I yelled up at him. He looked at me in shock and surprise.

"Hehe...ya hear that, dumb dragon?" Eleanor smirked. Hades snarled at the Zebstrika, flames spewing out of his nostrils when he flared then. For what seemed like an eternity, Hades finally flew down in a silent defeat.

'Oh, WHY? Hades HAD to go fly off somewhere and meet, out of EVERY Pokemon in the world, Eleanor...'

OMG I am so sorry! I apologize for the major wait! I've been busy with school and all...
