2hott4u: I know I didn't update in awhile, but that's because…I'm lazy and had no inspiration. I'm having trouble trying to think of good outfits for The Matt's friends. sigh there's like…3. Thank you Jamie: for Macy. She is greatly appreciated. On with the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon and if I did Harley would be in team Rocket and get killed eventually. (Sorry Harley fans!!)

The pains

The Matt flew over Johto and watched the pokemon slowly awaken. He was in Hoenn and gazed down to see a boy and his dad camping. He choked up slightly and flew faster. He flew over his first stop and cursed to himself. He landed on the ground and turned into Heracross. He began to walk through a field when he saw his first recruit. A guy of about 5'8" stood on a rock and was watching the sunrise with a Mewtwo by his side. He wore a black shirt and slightly baggy jeans, and his shoes were black. His eyes were a light blue and he had light brown hair that covered his eyes when he looked down. The Matt watched as his friend DarkJak stared at him. His Mewtwo glared at The Matt but he didn't even flinch. The Matt chucked a red and white pokeblock at him. DarkJak stared at it, but did nothing. The Matt growled and threatened him to eat it. DarkJak shrugged and ate it. He glowed for a moment before reappearing as his Mewtwo.

"Go to Mt. Silver." The Matt ordered.

"Why should I listen to you?"

"Cause Team Rocket is trying to kill us…" DarkJak thought about it and shrugged. He changed into his own Rayquaza. It was a very rare one. Not only did it have his blue eyes, it was black with yellow lines on it. The Matt changed into his non-shiny Rayquaza and they nodded briefly before going separate ways. He flew straight to Sinnoh. His next recruit was up on Stark Mountain. Looking down he saw a boy training his Empoleon. That was his Zenkai. Zenkai had brown hair and bright blue eyes, and was The Matt's little brother. The Matt had no time for his brothers annoying questions so he dropped the pokeblock from the sky. Zenkai looked up see his brothers Rayquaza. He smirked and nodded. Zenkai ate the pokeblock and turned into his Empoleon. Turning into his Staraptor he flew up to meet Rayquaza.

"Where's my brother?"

"I'm right here you dolt!" He smacked Zenkai on the head and told him to fly to Mt. Sliver. Zenkai refused at first but The Matt persuaded saying that there were hot girls there. That got him going. "Sure…hot girls…yeah right." He could almost feel Marina's fist crashing down onto his head followed by Esmer's, then Heather's and then Natalia's. He shuddered and flew off to find his last recruit.

Hot Girls??!!

Marina and her friends were relaxing peacefully in the sun until a shadow hovered above them. It was a black Rayquaza. Esmer sat up and grumbled. Heather was ignoring it and Natalia enjoyed the break from the sun. Its yellow lines glowed brightly in the afternoon heat.

"Move out of the way DarkJak!" Marina barked at him. DarkJak smirked and turned into Dragonite and became a dead weight. He dropped from the air aiming for Marina. Riley burst out of the bushes and tackled him into the ground with his own Dragonite. DarkJak threw him off and brushed invisible dust off of him. Esmer lay back down and relaxed again. Marina stood up and stretched her stiff muscles. She walked up to DarkJak and gave him a hug. Even though he was a pain he was one of her best buddies. Riley growled in jealousy and Marina turned around and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He quieted down and went under a tree for a nap. Natalia was sick of the sun and got up to go annoy DarkJak. She leaned on Marina's shoulder and yawned. DarkJak raised his eyebrow and yawned too. Then Natalia yawned again. DarkJak started to yawn but the yawn was caught in his throat. Natalia smirked as she watched him struggle to get the yawn out. Marina shook her head and went to go pry the girls off the rock where they were sunbathing. Esmer's vein popped as she was drug of the rock. Heather got up and followed on her own. All of the girls began rooting through the food stuffs for something good to eat. Then Natalia shot up.

"Where's Macy?" All the girls looked back and forth and their eyes rested on Marina. Heather raised an eyebrow quizzically. Marina sighed and changed into Pidgeot to go get Macy. She got 50 yards up when she was tackled back down again. She threw her attacker off and glared at it. It was a Staraptor.

"Zenkai?" He looked up.

"Marina? I thought Matt said there were hot girls here?" She smacked him. Esmer, Heather, and Natalia burst through the bushes to where Marina had fallen. "Aw man, he lied."

"Who lied about what?" Heather asked.

"Matt lied about there being hot girls here." All three girls smacked him. "OW!!!" Esmer got in his face and glared at him. He shut up and scooted away to DarkJak who was still trying to get the yawn out. Marina shook her head and flew into the sky again. She soared high above the clouds in search of their friend Macy. Soon enough she heard with her hawk ears the voice of their missing friend. She dove down and hovered over her. The girl in the clearing had black hair that curled onto her face hiding ruby eyes. She was Goth so she wore a black miniskirt and a red and black striped t-shirt. Macy had called out an attack to nothing, but then a huge black shadow shot up at Marina. Marina dodged but it kept coming. She tried desperately to get away. Then she got hit but it did nothing. She looked around and saw a Giratina arise beside its master. Marina dropped to the ground in relief. Macy stared at her but soon saw who it was. She rushed forward in concern. A call sounded from high above but when Macy looked up there was nothing. She looked back down at Marina but was soon hit in the head with a small red and white cube. Marina took it and placed it in Macy's mouth. Macy glowed and became her Giratina.

"Follow me to Mt. Silver." Macy nodded and turned into Ho-Oh. They flew into the sky and arrived at Mt. Silver in an hour. Natalia pointed to the sky happily. Heather followed her finger and saw Marina and Macy flying down to them. Then Heather noticed something floating above them in the clouds. She watched it circle Marina then dive. Heather turned into Raikou and leaped into the sky. Marina fell in surprise. She regained balance and looked into the sky where Heather was glaring. Nothing was there.

"What was that all about?" Macy's voice was laced with annoyance. Heather glared at her but continued to scan the clouds. Then Marina was attacked swiftly from below. It was another Pidgeot. Heather tried to shock the other Pidgeot but they were twirling around and Heather couldn't figure out which was which. Marina broke free from the skirmish and stabbed at her attacker with her sharp beak. Her attacker spun causing her to lose balance from the wind it was producing. Her attacker was a skilled aerialist. She began to use complex diving maneuvers. It copied her stroke for stroke. Heather locked onto the attacker and used thunderbolt. The Pidgeot flailed helplessly in the electricity. Heather stopped and watched it drop to the ground smoldering. It stopped a foot before hitting ground and then The Matt streaked towards Heather. Marina noticed and turned into Charizard. She dove in-between them and caught The Matt. They struggled for the advantage.

"Why are you attacking her?" Marina growled through her clenched jaw.

"She took out Thomas." Marina looked down at the Pidgeot then back at The Matt. Her muscles bulged as she brought Matt (Rayquaza) over her shoulder. She heaved him at the ground and followed his descending bulk. He was ten feet from the ground when he regained balance but it was too late. Marina landed onto his back and pile-drove him into the ground. She knocked the breath out of him and was about to follow it up with flamethrower but Thomas stopped her with an aerial ace.

"Why are you attacking him?" Thomas hissed. She glared at him and used flamethrower. Either she hit Thomas or Matt, both would be good. Thomas took the hit. He landed hard on the ground and groaned in pain. She flew into the sky and rejoined Macy and Heather.

"What was that about?" Heather looked down at the scalded clearing.

"I told him not to bring Thomas…" Marina dove down to Esmer and Natalia. Heather looked at Macy and they both shrugged.

Emergency Much!!!

May awoke with a jerk, but lay back down when her muscles screamed in pain. She groaned as her whole body told to stop moving. Drew sat next to her and was applying aspear berries to the burns on her arms and legs.

"Look who's finally awake." Drew smirked.

"Drew, h-have you been taking care of me all night?" Drew nodded. She tilted her neck and looked up into the trees. She gazed at the emerald leaves but as she scanned over the leaves she caught a glimpse of gray. She went back to the spot but only waving leaves were in its place. Concentrating she tried to remember what she saw. Eyes! Someone was watching them. May got up and limped around looking for any signs of what it might be.

"May stop moving, you're going to hurt yourself more." May paid no heed to him. She looked up and saw a new swatch of leaves rustling. She kept it in the corner of her eyes. It continued, proving it did not know she knew where it was. She leaped into the branches and gripped their watcher. She got its left arm but her left hand was groping at thin air. Using her right arm she drug her watcher out by its left arm. As dust cleared a lithe blue form rose from the ground. May growled but stopped when her vision cleared. It was a Lucario with gray eyes. It was missing its right arm and scars lined its body.

"Very good, but shouldn't I expect any less from Marina's apprentice." May gasped. Both pain and shock were taking there tolls on her. May shuddered but leaped at the Lucario. It smirked and using its right arm knocked her off balance and held its right hand spike to her throat. Drew charged forward and bowled over the Lucario.

"May, go get Marina." May hesitated. "Now!!" She leaped away into the trees.

"O, no you don't!" The Lucario rushed into the branches and shouldered its way through them. Drew used petal dance and erased the Lucario's sense of direction. It growled and lunged at his throat. May stopped when she heard Drew scream out in pain. A lone tear ran down her face and she continued. A minute later the Lucario looked down at its paws and saw the small water droplet on a leaf. It growled and roared into the trees. May stopped again when she heard the roar. Her heart pounded in her chest and questions flew through her mind. 'Is Drew okay? Will I be okay? Will Marina still be there?' May flew through the trees and about fifty trees back she heard the angry snarls of her pursuer. She was in the forest now. She heard voices up ahead. One sounded familiar but it wasn't Marina's. She burst into the clearing and whipped around to find Marina.

"May…" The Lucario shot into the clearing. She was up one second and the next her face was in the dirt. It all happened so fast that she didn't feel the pain till seconds later. She screamed and tears rolled down her cheeks. The Lucario was stabbing her back with its spike. She heard a roar nearby but was losing consciousness. The voice was in her ear now. It told her she was okay. Her vision was fading fast and the last thing she saw was Drew coming towards her. Her vision was gone now and she heard the fighting. It was Marina and the Lucario.

"Kin!" She blacked out.

2 hours later…

May blinked her eyes open slowly adjusting to the light. May's memory slowly booted back up and she shot up. Her wounds screamed and she shrunk back. Her eyes were wide as she scanned the clearing. Blood splattered the trees and the undergrowth. An unusually large pool lay in the middle of the clearing. Next to that were vicious snarls. The battle was still going on. She pulled herself up and half crawled half limped. An arm grabbed her shoulder. She pulled free and continued. Blood pattered behind her. She got to the bushes and saw Marina fighting the Lucario, but it wasn't a Lucario anymore. It was a massive Swampert. Marina was fighting against it with an evil glint in her eyes. The Swampert wasn't changing which made May wonder why. Then Marina was slammed against a tree. May watched as Marina spat out mouthfuls of blood. Marina sat there wheezing while the Swampert advanced on her. May turned into Venasaur and used Frenzy Plant. Giant thorny roots grew from the ground and circled around the Swampert. It inhaled deeply and shot a muddy attack making the roots shrink into the ground. May growled and waddled forward. The Swampert growled and used focus punch. May was hit hard in the snout. It didn't stop there it continued to smash at her head.

'Why wasn't anyone helping Marina?' May growled and turned into Blastoise. She caught the Swampert's punch and threw a mega punch at it. Swampert got it in the face but it didn't even flinch. It used muddy water and May was sent flying back. Marina was on the ground panting and watching her. May turned into her Delcatty. She used assist and got a flamethrower. Swampert seemed to take nothing. May was growing hopeless. She turned into Beautifly and used Silver wind. Swampert smirked and laughed evilly in her face. She even turned into Espeon. Marina was up in a flash. She turned into Umbreon and charged at May instead of the Swampert. May got slammed in the face with hydro pump and shadow ball. She flew back and struggled to get up. May turned into Blaziken. Marina calmed down and used iron tail on the Swampert. It no longer wanted to battle her. Marina tries desperately to stop it. May stood up shakily. Marina was thrown clear across the clearing and Swampert walked over to May. It saw she was looking at Marina and turned around. It began charging up hydro cannon. It fired and Marina's eyes glowed in the bright blue light. People sat in the trees above watching intently. May glared at them. Why didn't they do anything to help Marina? They all gasped if at last they realized she really was in trouble. May's wrists burned brightly. The fire consumed her body and she used blast burn. The rifts knocked Swampert off balance and it missed its target. Marina turned into Typhlosion and used blast burn as well. The Matt turned into Blaziken and used blast burn, Heather turned into Typhlosion and used blast burn, Esmer turned into Blastoise and used hydro cannon, Natalia turned into Empoleon and used hydro cannon, Riley turned into Blastoise and used hydro cannon, DarkJak used hyper beam, Thomas used hyper beam, Drew used hyper beam, Macy turned into Ho-Oh and used sacred fire, and Zenkai used hydro cannon. The Swampert was hit with all the attacks in turn. In the end it was left smoldering in the clearing. It shuddered and glowed a bright blue. A man fell to the ground. He was bleeding heavily and his grey eyes were becoming dull.

"I love you…Marina." He slithered down onto his stomach and died. Marina's eyes shone brightly and tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Why…why did you have to disobey me…Kin?" She lowered her head and all the girls lowered to her side. They comforted her while the guys stood around the corpse. The Matt shook his head in disappointment. Drew looked over to her. He nudged The Matt and he looked over. He almost fell over. She looked at him in curiosity. He approached her with wide eyes.

"What's…wrong?" Her breath was becoming labored. Her vision faded again but she could hear Marina's cries clearly. She looked around in her mind and saw rain falling around her. It left ripples as it struck the ground. In each ripple she saw a little bit of Marina's memories. They were so sad. Her dad died and she didn't know her mother. Her Eevee was almost killed and she had murdered a pokemon. Sobs rung in her ears, she felt the love and the pain of Kin and the pain of her pokemon dying. Marina's emotions over powered May and she found herself crying with the sad legend, no sad girl. Marina's memories slowly cleared and instead of water, blood rained from the sky. It didn't leave ripples it only gathered until May was up to her neck in it. She felt her head bob up and down in the crimson pool of pain and sorrow. She slide lower into the pool and lost all vision and hearing. May was unconscious again. Marina looked down at her apprentice and began healing her wounds.

2hott4u: I know it was emo! (hotty: geez, since when did you go that deep?) since I felt like it. Hope you all like it!
