Ready or Not, Here I Come

Razor stood a few feet a way from Crystal. Time to start the training.

The Mightyena started walking toward her then broke into a run.

"Left!" he commanded as he swung his claws at her. Shing!

Crystal dodged.

"Now Right!" He attacked again. Shing!

She ducked.

He glared down at her. "When I say right, go right. It's better to stay out of the way of your opponent. Otherwise, if your opponent sees you ducked he could directly hit you from above."

"Ouch, that would hurt," Crystal remarked.

Razor rolled his eyes. Idiot. He stood in a battle stance. "Begin!"

Crystal thought it through. Which attack to use…?

Razor began to circle her. She watched him as he traveled a full circle and stopped behind her. Crystal looked back. He's gonna jump!

She dodged the split second he leapt into the air. Missing, he tumbled halfway across the clearing. Razor dug his claws into the soft earth before he ended up underwater.

The Mightyena walked out of the lake and shook the water from his fur. He looked up at his "student". "I don't remember teaching you that."

Crystal smiled. "Well I remember you saying don't duck but dodge. So I dodged to the right."

Razor still had a frown on his face. Everything was going well except for one thing. She still has a happy attitude.

If she was this naive then Shiloh might convince her that he was her friend. Time for some more harsh training.

"I'm gonna wipe that smile right off your face!" he shouted to her.

Crystal turned, wondering what was going on. She saw the black creature using agility, approaching her with blinding speed. The clueless Pokemon was knocked to the ground on impact.

She stood up. "What was that for?!" she hollered.

Razor responded with a full force slash. Crystal had a large bloody cut on her arm after the attack. She staggered to her feet. So you wanna change tactics huh?

Fire shot from her mouth. The fire burned the ground but it hadn't hit the target. "Where did he-?" And soon enough she found her answer. Razor came crashing down on her. He stood there pressing down on her back even harder. She cringed in pain. "Aren't you gonna fight back?" he whispered in her ear (A/N: creepy).

He forced her down every time she tried standing up.

"Crystal, get up!" Her eyes shot open. Who was that? It didn't sound like Razor and there was nobody else here. "Crystal, you can do it!"

"Crystal!" the voice called for her.

"Stop it!" she screamed. "Leave me alone!"

Assuming she was talking to him, Razor pressed down even harder.

"What? Can't you get up?" He smirked. "Or do you need your mother's help?"

The evil inside her that had started as a small spark now grew into a firestorm. It burned in her eyes; they turned an eerie bloody red.

Crystal dug her claws into the earth and pushed up with all her strength. She seemed to have more than she did before.

Crystal gave Razor a deathly look. He stepped off of her and just as she was about to attack he simply said, "Stop."

She listened to what he had to say.

"I believe we're finished training."

"I am ready," she replied. Her newly scarlet eyes glowed in the moonlight. "I'll crush them." She grabbed a rock and broke it in a million pieces with no trouble at all.

"Ready or not," She stared at the dimming fire in the distance.

"…here I come."

Shiloh woke at the sound of the cracking of leaves. He yawned and stretched. "While I'm up I might as well get some water," he said to himself.

He looked over where Crystal was once sleeping. He stared at the blank patch of grass. "Where did she…?"

He heard another crack.

"Crystal? Is that you?" he cautiously walked toward to the darker part of the forest.

Glowing red eyes seemed to float in the darkness. He edged closer and squinted to get a better look. That can't be Crystal. Her eyes are blue.

But it was her. She stepped out of the shadows and into the moonlight. Shiloh looked at her eyes then her bloody cut.

"Crystal you're hurt." He moved his head closer to get a better look.

Her piercing gaze warned him not to come any closer. He took another step. Shing! Blood dripped down his face. The once green grass had been consumed by the scarlet red liquid.

He stared at her, wide-eyed. Shiloh stood there in shock. Had she just attacked him? For no reason?

"Why did you-?"

"It's about time you shed blood for your crime," she scowled, her voice darker, with a hint of vengeance mixed in.

"What crime?" the look on his face was a combination of emotion. Scared, yet worried.

She did what she'd been taught. Her strait line of steps began to form into a circle. "You don't know the bloodiest thing you did? Pathetic."

"I didn't do anything," he tried convincing her that he was innocent.

"Yeah right you murderer. I know all your tricks. You'll pay for killing my-" "Crystal!" the voice called to her. It repetitively kept screaming her name.

She covered her ears but it didn't give up. She growled. "STOP IT!"

"Crystal? What's wrong?" he stepped closer.

"Get away from me…" she threatened, still in pain.

She shrieked and fell to the ground, still in pain. "Stop calling out to me… Whoever you are, stop!"

A purple colored creature stood in the never ending darkness. The glow in red gem on her forehead faded. "Crystal…" Dawn sobbed.

The storm is near. How can I contact you without putting you in pain? Your dark form is causing my telepathy to be painful because I am not a dark type, she kept thinking and thinking.

A psychic image appeared in front of her. She saw a large white Pokemon fly into the air. Its wings causing hurricane like winds. The blue flaps closed on its back and it dove into the sea.

A spark of hope lit up in her eyes. "Maybe there is a way…"

Hope everyone liked it! Thanks those of you who stayed with this story after that long wait. T.T Yur the best. Guess who's the mystery Pokemon is?
