I'm back from my day off! I really had to take a break yesterday, had stuff to do… like sleep. Anyways… Disclaimer time!

Jolt: "ParasiteDarkness owns nothing!"

Antonio: "Except for us!"

Drake: "Cause he created us!"

Shade: "But Gamefreak and Nintendo own Pokemon."

Luke: "Because if ParasiteDarkness owned Pokemon he'd be rich and probably wouldn't have written this fanfic."

And there it is… now let's continue from where we left off…

Normal POV

Antonio's Dream

I was falling, falling into a deep, black abyss. I slowly flipped and landed on my feet. I looked around only to see darkness, when I looked at my hands or feet I could see them perfectly, but everything else around me was pitch-black. I took a step forward and the ground where my foot touched instantly began glowing white. The floor began peeling away, leaving a white floor behind where it was once black.

"Where am I?" I yelled out.

Suddenly a swirling pool of darkness appeared a few feet away from me. A man emerged from the pool, with his hand reached out. He wore ripped blue jeans, white sneakers, a white t-shirt, and a duster jacket. His hair was a snow white and he wore a Yin-Yang necklace around his neck.

"Come, don't be afraid of the darkness."

"Who are you?"

"The one who helped you the last time."

"You're the voice in my head!"

"Indeed… now come with me. Take my hand."

"No, you're a creeper!"

"Fine… I'll take on a less creepy appearance."

Suddenly the man was gone, and Luke stood in his place.

"Come with me Antonio, don't be afraid."

I slowly stepped forward and took his hand; the pool extended outwards and surrounded us both. Tendrils of darkness extended from the pool and wrapped around us, pulling us in.

"Are you afraid, Antonio?"

"No…"

"I'm sorry I can't hear you."

"I'm not afraid."

"Speak up!"

At this point we were submerged in the pool, darkness up to our necks. I felt cold, but hot at the same time.

End of dream

"I'M NOT AFRAID OF THE DARKNESS!" I yelled as I sat up in bed.

"HOLY SHIT!" THUD!

I looked over to see Drake pulling himself off the floor.

"Drake? Sorry about that."

"Ngh… it's alright."

I looked to my left and saw that the bed was empty aside from me.

"Where's Luke?"

"He's downstairs in the kitchen… what was with that darkness thing?"

"Sorry, had a bit of a weird dream…"

"Mhm… Anyways Luke says to come downstairs he has a surprise for you."

"Alright."

I stood up and stretched, forgetting that I wasn't wearing any clothes.

"Dude! I don't need to see your morning wood!" Drake yelled as he covered his eyes.

"Holy shit! Sorry Drake, I forgot about that!" I apologized as I attempted to cover my 6 1/2-inch erection.

"It's alright, I'll just umm leave and let you get dressed and stuff." Drake said as he stumbled out the room.

Once the door was closed I grabbed some clothes and quickly dressed. The end result was black jeans, my gloves, my sandals and my trench coat, sure it was a weird combo but it's not like I was going outside or anything. I quickly dashed down the stairs and head for the kitchen. When I walked through the door to the kitchen, I was instantly greeted with a flying hug and a quick kiss from Luke.

"Good morning, my love."

"Good morning to you too, Luke."

"Are you ready for your surprise?"

"Luke, you didn't have to…"

Luke instantly silenced me with a kiss, and reached over to the table, grabbing a blue cloth. He pulled out of our kiss and blindfolded me.

"Let's go."

"Alright just don't lead me into any death traps."

"I'll try not to."

I felt Luke grab my right hand and Drake grab my left. Suddenly I felt Shade land on my shoulder and whisper into my ear.

"Nice job blinding Drake this morning."

"Oh so he told you?"

"Yeah I wish I could've seen the look on his face."

"Ya sure it's not that you just wanted a peek too."

"Nah I've already got Jolt for that… by the way. We kinda need your help later to wash the bed sheets."

"Have a bit of fun last night?"

"Maaaaybe…"

I laughed as I continued being led to wherever it was they were leading me.

"Speaking of which, where is Jolt?"

"I'm right here." Said a voice off to the left.

"Oh hey buddy, how was your first night at Muniz Manor?"

"Fun. A bit messy at the end though."

"Ngh, do you have to say that while I'm here?"

"Sorry Drake, I forgot you're straight."

"Sigh… ok Jolt, I'll cut you a bit of slack since you're new here."

"Hey guys, are we there yet?"

"Almost" answered Luke.

After a few minutes, we stopped. And my blindfold was removed. I looked around to see that we were in the garden, and in the middle was an arena drawn in white chalk.

"We'd like to show you our routines for the contests." Said Luke.

"Heh, guys how am I gonna be able to participate in the routine if I don't know what it is?"

"HUH?"

"Our routines are gonna include me. I not gonna have you guys do all the work."

"Ok then Antonio, how about you and I just improvise a bit."

"Ok Luke, let me just grab these." I said as I walked over to the wall behind me. I grabbed the two katanas mounted on the wall and handed one to Luke.(Those things are just all over the house aren't they?)

"What are these for?"

"To add a bit of a more…different routine to the contests."

We unsheathed our swords and readied ourselves. I swung my sword at Luke only to have him block. I then spun and struck again. With our swords locked against each other I called out to him.

"Use Dark Pulse!"

Right as he released a wave of energy imbued with dark thoughts, I pushed myself back away from him, using his attack to force myself back farther. I began to feel weak and… sleepy? I stood there for a minute dazed. I suddenly collapsed, hitting the grass with a soft thud. I could hear their frantic voices as my eyes closed.

"Oh shit! Drake, get Rosa!"

"I'm on it!"

"Oh god, what have I done? Antonio, love. Please get up. Please don't be…"

Antonio's Dream

I found myself back in that pool of darkness with that man. We were sucked in, being sent down to the bottom of an ocean of darkness.

"You'll be ok."

"What happened?"

"You were hit with Luke's attack. You timed the push incorrectly. Now you're in a coma."

"How long will it last?"

"Only a day or two… maybe three but it's nothing too serious. You'll make it to Sinnoh."

"How the hell do you know all this? Who are you? This is only the 3rd time I've been in this dream world but I'm already sick of it! LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!"

"YOU SWORE AN OATH, ANTONIO MUNIZ! THE MINUTE YOU TOOK THAT SWORD YOU HAVE ON YOUR BACK, YOU BECAME A PART OF THIS!"

"But what is THIS? HUH? TELL ME WHAT THIS IS!"

"You are the chosen one to help defeat a horrible evil!"

"What evil?"

"They're known as Team Galactic and you must fight them, stop them!"

"I DON'T WANT ANY PART OF YOUR BATTLE!"

"IT'S NOT A BATTLE! IT'S A MOTHERFUCKING WAR!"

"Sigh… Why me though? Of all the people in the world, WHY ME?"

"Because you're special Antonio. You are the only one who can stop this! I know that you've dealt with Team Rocket in the past, but Team Galactic is far worse. Team Rocket has been gone for a long time now, but Team Galactic is made up of some of Team Rocket's former leaders."

"How am I special?"

"Have you not noticed your abilities? You can speak with Pokemon!"

"So can Rosa!"

"But did she single-handedly kill 15 members of Team Rocket when she was 11? Even though 10 of those members were armed with guns? No, she didn't. But you did! You killed them all with only a katana!"

"Anyone who is properly trained can do that with a little luck."

"No they can't! You know that you're different from other people! You can feel another presence inside you when you feel scared or alone! It speaks to you, it helps you!"

"HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW!"

"Because Antonio, I am that presence."

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?"

"I don't know, all I know is that I am a hidden part of you, and my true form cannot be revealed until you find your missing half."

"Missing half? What the fuck are you smoking?"

"There is another half of you, a half that is hidden, locked away. If you can uncover that half, my true form will be revealed. But until then, I'm stuck in this body."

"Sigh… ok. How do I find my missing half?"

"The missing half can only be realized after Team Galactic has been stopped."

"Ngh… ok, but what are they doing?"

"They're trying to enslave the 4 main legendary Pokemon of Sinnoh, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and Arceaus. They intend to use their combined power to take over the world. What they do not realize is, that power, if used even the slightest bit incorrectly, will destroy this world."

"Wait, THIS WORLD? Are you implying that there are other worlds out there?"

"I have no idea."

"Ass."

"No I believe his name was Ash. He will be able to help you a bit in the future."

"…"

"But stay away from Jericho. He will cause you only grief."

"D-Did you say Jericho?"

"Yes, why?"

"Jericho as in, the Jericho that was my 1st boyfriend, the one who disappeared?"

"Yes that one."

"He's alive?"

"Yes… but do NOT try to find him. He will betray you."

"…Why would he do that?"

"Rage, jealousy, if he finds you he will feel as though you've betrayed him by falling in love with Luke."

"But he left me! I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD FOR 2 YEARS! HOW DID I BETRAY HIM! I LOVED HIM AND FOLLOWED HIM TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH!"

"I know that."

"NO, YOU'RE LYING! THERE'S NO WAY HE WOULD BETRAY ME, HE'S BEEN MISSING FOR 2 YEARS. HE'S BEEN ASSUMED DEAD! HOW WOULD YOU KNOW IF HE'S ALIVE? YOU'RE JUST A PART OF ME! HOW COULD YOU KNOW IF I DON'T?"

"STOP IT! I LOVED HIM TOO! I'M YOU, AND YOU SAID IT YOURSELF! I DON'T KNOW WHY I KNOW! BUT EITHER WAY, I KNOW THESE THINGS! IF YOU SO MUCH AS SPEAK WITH HIM HE'LL FIND OUT YOUR WITH LUKE NOW! THAT WE'RE WITH LUKE! AND HE'LL BETRAY US TO TEAM GALACTIC! HE'LL KILL LUKE! DO YOU WANT THAT TO HAPPEN? BECAUSE I'LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THAT HALF OF YOU DOESN'T AND I'M PRETTY SURE THE OTHER HALF DOESN'T WANT THAT EITHER!"

"I-I don't want that! I love him!"

"And so do I that's why I'm here to train you!"

"But what are you going to teach me? I already know how to fight!"

"Yes but you haven't learned to use Aura yet. Luke can't teach you how; his techniques don't work for us. But I can teach you. I will also teach you how to properly Mindfuck and Mindrape someone. And then, on Day 3, you will learn Parkour, and you will wake from your coma."

"Wait… Mindfuck? Mindrape? What the hell are you talking about?"

"Just wait and you will see. Those are tomorrow's lessons. But for today, you will learn to harness Aura."

"Ok then let's get the lesson started!"

"Not yet, there is something that must be done 1st."

"What is it?"

"You must be able to fight what you fear most before I can begin instructing you."

"F-Fight what I fear most?"

"Can you do it?"

"Yes, but before we begin…"

"What?"

"What should I call you?"

"… Call me… Zephyr."

"Ok"

Suddenly Zephyr's right arm became covered in darkness and stretched out like a tentacle. His hand grabbed my head and began squeezing tightly. I screamed out in pain, as Zephyr lifted me off the ground. Eventually he dropped me on the ground and stepped back. I pulled myself off the ground and got my sword out… ready for what was coming. Zephyr dropped onto his hands and knees, his whole body convulsing. Eventually he stopped, but it was no longer Zephyr who was on the floor. The darkness faded away, leaving us in a forest being drenched in rain. The man rose from the ground and looked directly at me.

"It's good to see you again Antonio. I see you still prefer those silly Japanese swords."

"Hello… Dad."

"Hahaha! Why don't I show you the weapon that a REAL man uses!" He laughed as he pulled a Greatsword off of his back.

My father stood before me wearing his usual clothes, a grey business suit with a purple tie, his black dress shoes, and his glasses on that damned face of his. His black hair, cut short and neat… it was as if it was 3 years ago…

"Real man? What's that supposed to mean?"

"Well we both know that you're not a real man. Just a woman trapped in a man's body."

"Dad, this was how the fight 3 years ago started… you got all pissed off just because I came out and told everyone that I'm Bi-sexual. And this fight will end the exact same way that it did 3 years ago! I WILL KILL YOU!"

"Bring it, fag!"

I pulled my ipod out of my pocket and flipped it on.

One-Winged Angel from Final Fantasy VII starts playing.

I slipped my ipod back into my pocket and leaped forward at my father, my blade thirsting for his blood. He blocked my strike and kicked me in the stomach, sending me sliding back about 10 feet. I jumped up in the air and kicked him in his face, knocking his glasses off. I spun around and grabbed his right arm; I then twisted it to its limits causing extreme pain.

"GRAAAGGHH!"

"TAKE IT LIKE A MAN, YOU BASTARD!"

I spun around, snapping his arm like a twig.

"NGGHH! PLEASE STOP, SON! HAVE MERCY!"

"MERCY? WHERE WAS YOU'RE MERCY WHEN YOU ATTACKED ME ALL THOSE YEARS AGO? YOU'RE A HYPOCRITE! THERE'S NOTHING I HATE MORE THAN A HYPROCITE! I WILL GIVE YOU DESPAIR! NOTHING BUT DESPAIR FOR WHAT YOU DID TO ME! NOW DIE!"

I pulled on his arm with all my might and tore it off of his shoulder, blood spraying everywhere. I spun around and slapped him in the face with his arm. He fell to the ground screaming in pain, clutching the spot where his arm once was. I dropped his arm and grabbed his sword and began walking away.

"PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME TO DIE! FORGIVE ME!"

"SHUT UP!"

I spun around and plunged his sword through his chest, pinning him to the ground. But he still wasn't dead, he still screamed, he still lived!

"PLEASE STOP!"

"DIE ALREADY!"

I looked at my hand and saw that my fingernails had grown in length and were sharp like claws. I plunged my hand into his chest using the claws to get inside. I moved my hand around as I desperately searched for something.

"STOOOOP!"

"JUST DIIIIIIIE!"

I wrapped my hand around a pulsating object and ripped it out. I held it right in front of his face, making him stare at his own heart. I crushed the heart in my hand and punched him one last time in the face.

Song Ends.

I looked down at my father's lifeless body in disgust, how naïve I was to think that even after 3 years, he wouldn't come back to haunt me. I thought I'd never have to face him again after he was dead… but I was wrong and now he's dead again. Suddenly, the body rose up and began changing back into Zephyr.

"Excellent. You were able to fight and destroy a dark phantom from your past with no problem. That's good, but when I'm done with you, you'll be able to face any demon from your past without any problems."

"Ok… what's next?"

"Take it easy, there's no need to start right away."

"Yes there is! I need to get stronger!"

"Why?"

"So I can protect everyone I love!"

"That's what I wanted to hear…"

"Then we really are the same person."

"Heh, let's begin…"

And Chapter 6 is complete! Anyways, make sure to review and what not! Let's hope that Zephyr can help Antonio achieve the strength he needs for his journey. Why is it that Antonio's father is such an ass? And what's the story behind Antonio and Jericho? Is there more to it? Find out in The Purple Warrior Chapter 7! I'll see you guys later, bye!
