*Yuki's Point of View*
The plane ride home was amazing, the dark purple ocean flying under us as our graceful metal death trap was creaking. Yes, very amazing. I am completely afraid of planes, and that creaking landing gear in the hatch wasn't helping. I wish I could have surfed home on Lapras, but it seemed very tired. When we hit turbulence, I accidentally may have freaked and slapped Horus with the back of my hand. Oops? He awoke with such a startle, that I just turned away, clutching my seat, then turned and acted surprised. "Are you okay?" I feigned a surprised look, with a splash of concern thrown in. I could make a good actress. I just don't like the dresses. I love jeans more than skirts, and T-Shirts just as much. Horus blinked the sleepiness out of his eyes, then looked out my window. I followed his gaze to be startled by small jet following us. Horus jumped out of his seat, and threw open the emergency door, and let Swellow out of its personal sphere. He jumped on its back, which was big enough for him because Swellow was bigger than a huge, and wild, Swellow. I turned back around and saw the jet had a small, bright red insignia on the side. I couldn't make it out, but I knew it was bad if Horus freaked. I broke threw the crowd of surprised trainers, and threw out Dragonite, and jumped on its back. Horus and I flew in unison, until he broke off using Air Slash.
The jet shot a machine gun from an open door, and in the turbulence, it made it hard to dodge. Swellow was hit multiple times in the wings, as both Swellow and Horus dropped like stones. "Dragonite use Twister!" A swirling mass of wind slammed into the jet from Dragonite's mouth, and then we dove. We just caught Horus right after he returned Swellow to its pokeball, and pulled up before we slammed into the ocean like if it was made of cement. The spray caused me to sneeze a little, but other than that, I was fine. So was Dragonite and Horus. Yet, I knew Swellow needed help. We pulled up, and into the plane. As soon as we landed, I returned Dragonite. Horus sat there, staring at the floor for a couple seconds then he let out Swellow as I closed the plane door. Swellow looked terrible, about 8 total gunshot wounds. 5 seemed to have chiseled out some of Swellow's wings, and the last 3 were deep in Swellow's body. I wish I could tell Horus the truth, but I just had to lie. "It will be alright Horus, Swellow will be just fine." My voice was soothing on the outside, but on the inside, I was a mess. I wonder how Horus felt.
Swellow passed on the plane.
*Horus Point of View*
I am so stupid! I shouldn't have tried to destroy that stupid jet. I knew it was them, but I just had to be reckless! Swellow was gone, and now I had to deal with it! I crouched low to Swellow's body, putting my forehead to its cold forehead. I couldn't bear it. I cried, not caring everyone was staring, leaving burning scars into my head. Permanently. I just wanted to be alone with Swellow. My pokeball glowed a light blue, then it acted like if it was ready to catch another pokemon. I knew it meant it was over. The plane landed, and Swellow was being taken care of by the flight attendants. They didn't let me go to the burial, but I heard it was at a beautiful hilltop at the park, next to the strong oak tree. Swellow's favorite perch. It made me feel glad that its final resting place was where it felt most comfortable, and it made me feel glad I didn't go to the burial. I couldn't sit there, acting strong, while a loved one was lowered into the ground.
Weeks passed, and I slowly grew my old personality back. I was back to good 'ole me. Except the occasional stare out into space concept. I went over to Yuki's new address, which she gave me at the party, to see if she wanted to just hang out. When I stepped in, I was greeted by a small, hovering pink mouse like thing with a long tail. I chuckled as it tugged on my hair. "I never knew you had a Mew." Yuki came around the corner, wearing a purple dress with light blue flame designs on the bottom. She had combat boots, and her necklace of a planet surrounded by a ring.
"Sorry, Naomi is forcing me into a contest, and she wants me to use two new pokemon. Mew, and a surprise." She smiled and I nodded and smiled back.
"Where is Naomi?" It has been forever since I saw her and her Eeevee. Naomi is Yuki's sister. She has brown hair, light blue eyes and usually wears clothes she designs. May it be dark, light, or colorful, she always makes it to be worn differently, for contests and battles. Naomi is about 3 years older than us, while we are at 15. Umbreon is her partner.
"Over here," I heard from the kitchen. I walked over into the kitchen, and saw Naomi working on different things at once. Umbreon was sleeping at her side, obviously bored. It seemed Naomi was mixing different colors to a certain thread, so most likely trying to sew something for Yuki's dress.
"She wanted to add a shawl on top, but I disagreed. She still wants to, but can't make the right color combinations to match." Yuki seemed to state everything that had to do with her sister level-headed like, as long as it was an insult. It just made it even funnier.
"I am almost there! I just need to add a twinge of white!" She seemed to be very concentrated, when I accidentally stumbled her with my question.
"Hows the gym?" She looked up, and dipped the whole thread into the cup she was using to mix colors, and she cursed silently. I lowered my head. "Sorry."
Naomi just sighed, then shrugged. She stood up, and Umbreon lifted her head. "Its amazing. I'm getting much less challengers lately, so I can start to work on more contests. Also don't worry about it. It is fine." She smiled as I sighed with relief. "I decided to enter Yuki in tomorrow's contest. Are you entering?"
"I never even heard of contests in this town, let alone the one tomorrow. I gotta go sign up then. Thanks for the info!" I smiled as I ran out the door in a hurry. I quickly signed up, then saw the floral shop next to the contest hall. I read a sign saying there was a new shipment of Gracedia flowers. I walked in, bought a bouquet, and walked to the park. I climbed the hill, and knelt down by Swellow's grave marker. I set the flowers down when I heard a whimper behind the strong oak tree. A Shaymin walked out, and seemed to be hurt. I quickly smiled, put my hands behind my back, and scooted back, so it had a straight shot to the flowers. It slowly limped to them, and sniffed them. I smiled as it glowed a strange yellow like color, and then transformed into its Sky Form. It seemed to be very happy, mewling with pleasure. I smiled as it flew up to my cheek and rubbed up against it.
"Do you think I did this for you?" It nodded in mid air, and I stood up. "Well buddy, I gotta go. Enjoy it here, because it is still very important to me and a friend of mine." I gave a pained smile as I stated the "friend" and Shaymin seemed to notice it. It bumped into my belt, exactly where I had the pokeball of my old Swellow. It was caught instantly, and I gasped. I let it out, and it smiled at me. "You want to be my friend?" It did a back flip, and I chuckled. "Well, we got training to do for tomorrow." I headed home, and we spent hours working together.
Hey guys, I got some parts of this story from a book I'm reading. Like for example, the chiseled wing bullet with is from "Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment" by James Patterson, and the oak tree hilltop was a scene from a movie I forgot, but somehow remembered the ending sunset scene on xD. Either way, I hope you really enjoyed this chapter, because next chapter is going to be filled with a lot of descriptive battles and contest moves. BYE!
