Birth of the Wind Master

Chapter 10: The Rescue

"What was that?!" Sirus cried. The explosion shook the entire building. Some debris from the ceiling fell on his head. "Damn it! Where did that blast come from?" he exclaimed. He ran to the elevator and went to the roof. When he reached the roof he ducked to avoid a missile from hitting his head. It went upward and exploded. It created a shockwave that made him fall flat on his face. He got up and wiped the blood from his face. He looked around and saw three people on the other rooftop. They ran off when he saw them. He was about to pursue them when he saw two blurs going down the streets. One black and one white. "That must be them." He said as he ran to the elevator. "I can't let them find that wing!"

Ash and Misty had no problem maneuvering past the crowd and killing the guard standing by the door. They cleared the first floor of trainers without breaking a sweat and ran to get to the second floor. They were halfway up the flight of stairs when they stopped instantly. Standing at the top of the stairs was Sabrina. There was no color to her eyes, as if she wasn't even alive.

"Sabrina, get out of our way!" Ash cried. Sabrina just stood there.

"Sabrina we don't want to have to fight you." Misty cried. Sabrina reached to her belt and pulled out a pokéball.

"Alakazam, I choose you." She said quietly. The psychic pokemon came out of the ball in a blast of red light. It was similar to the Kadabra Ash fought a long time ago, but it looked more human and was holding two spoons instead of one. "Attack." She demanded in a monotone voice. It launched a psywave blast at them. They dodged it and their Pikachus jumped out of their backpacks and launched electric attacks at it. The Alakazam blocked it with a force field. Ash and Misty could only stand by and watch. None of their attacks could break through that force field and there was no way around it. Suddenly, there was the sound of an explosion. Bruno had broken through the wall and one of the rocks hit Alakazam and knocked it out. Sabrina recalled it and ran.

"Bruno, can you handle the enemies following us?" Ash asked.

"Can you stop asking stupid questions?" he asked back. Ash smiled and ran with Misty up the steps. Bruno turned around at the approaching group of trainers. He tensed his muscles. "BRING IT ON!!!" he cried as he charged through the group of trainers. When Ash and Misty reached the second floor, no-one was there. Then the elevator dinged. Ash and Misty looked at it, waiting to attack. When the doors opened, they fired shadow and light energy into it. When the smoke cleared, nothing was there. They approached the door cautiously. Then, Sirus fell from the ceiling and kicked both of them against the wall. He then created a wall of fire around them with a flick of the hand.

"Hello Ashura, Mistaria, how unpleasant to see you two." He stated. "I would have killed you by now but you deserve pain." He stated.

"What do you have against us?" Misty cried. Sirus' expression turned into pure rage.

"Because Mistaria, you killed him!" he cried.

"Killed who?!" she asked.

"You were the one who killed Blaine!" he yelled. Misty's face went white. "Blaine was like a father to me! He found me after my parents abandoned me at five years old!" Sirus stated, tears starting to flow down his cheeks. "He and his wife raised me like a son. He took me under his wing and taught me how to master my fire element. So much that I surpassed him. I was on a different assignment when you killed him!" he cried. "I have every reason to hate you!" he screamed. Then, his sentence was interrupted when Trevor kicked him into the wall. Emilia cheered behind him. Sirus got to his feet and looked at Trevor. "So I take it you are this wind master." Sirus suddenly gasped. "Those eyes, I've seen you before." Sirus then smiled an evil grin. "That was about six years ago. You were the one that got away." He stated. That sent a chill down Trevor's spine. "Blaine always told me 'If you let a little problem live, it will come back to get you."

"Trevor, what is he talking about?" Emilia asked.

"I'm talking about the day I took everything away from you." Sirus stated to Trevor. Trevor's fist clenched.

"It was you!" Trevor cried.

"Yes, I burned your house and family to the ground. And when you ran away, I missed and hit your stupid Sneasel instead." He said. Trevor felt anger and sadness build inside of him. His gut felt like it was going to explode.

"SHUT UP!!" he cried.

"I can still hear the stupid creature screaming in pain. And you, crying your eyes out because your best friend died, right in front of you, and you couldn't stop it." He stated. Trevor snapped.

"DIE YOU BASTARD!!" Trevor cried as he ran toward Sirus, he threw a punch at Sirus who blocked it easily. Trevor threw another punch and this pushed him back. Trevor's body then started to glow a deep red color. Sirus tried to block the third punch but it broke his arm and sent him flying into the wall. The last punch, which Sirus could not block, sent him flying through the wall and outside a few hundred feet.

"That…that was a dragon rage attack…but…only dragon pokemon can use that." He said weakly. The ring of fire around Ash and Misty had disappeared. They all ran over to the hole in the wall to look outside. Trevor and Sirus were the only ones down there since Erika made sure that everyone left the area. On the rooftop, Sabrina stood, watching. Sirus slowly got up, holding his arm. "Where did you get such power." He asked weakly. Trevor was silent, staring at him with pure rage in his eyes.

"Why would that matter to you? Very soon you will be dead." He stated angrily. Yellow symbols appeared on his arm. Electric energy built up in his hand. His fist was furiously sparking with electricity. He screamed and charged toward Sirus. Sabrina saw this and something happened in her mind. NO! Sirus, please no! Her conscience took over and the machine on her head sparked and popped off her head.

"NO! SIRUS!" she screamed with tears in her eyes. She closed her eyes and used teleportation. Trevor was only a mere 7 feet away from him, and then Sabrina appeared right in front of him. Trevor didn't have time to react and the blast hit her in the gut. Electricity went straight through her. She screamed in pain from the blast, and then she coughed up blood and fell backward.

"Sa…Sabrina?" Sirus stuttered. He caught her in his arm. "No…Sabrina…please don't die on me." He said crying. "Why did you do that?" Sabrina coughed again.

"I can't help it. The thought of losing you made my body move; I had no control over it." She stated weakly. "I love you Sirus, no machine can stop me from that." Sirus put his head to hers.

"I love you too Sabrina. Don't worry I'll get you to a doctor. Your psychic powers will help you heal." He stated, tears falling down off his face. Then he stood up, holding her in his arms, even though one was in extreme pain. "We will continue this another time, Wind Master! MOLTRES!!" he cried. Suddenly, a great heat wave filled the area, and a large bird of fire landed next to Sirus. He jumped on to it and they flew off. Trevor was still recovering from the shock of hurting an innocent person. He looked down at his hand. It was covered in blood. Tears started rolling off his cheeks. Could I have stopped myself? Did I even want to stop? What kind of monster am I? Emilia used vines to get down to him. She reached to grab his shoulder, and then hesitated. Come on Emilia! He needs you right now! Don't be a coward. She then got on her knees and hugged him.

"It's alright Trevor. You didn't mean to hurt her." She stated. He looked at her with sadness in his face.

"But am I no different from him? Hurting people because of my anger." He asked. She didn't really know how to answer that question.

"Well, you have every right to be angry. He killed your family." She paused before continuing. "Why didn't you tell me your family was murdered?" she asked. He sat there for a moment.

"I didn't want you to feel sorry for me. That I was a depressing person." Emilia got mad and slapped him across the face. He looked at her completely astonished.

"You are not a depressing person. You are the happiest person I know. You make the most out of every day, so don't start telling me that you are depressing." She stated. Trevor just stared at her in amazement. She then kissed him on the cheek. "I'm sorry for slapping you Trevor."

"No, that's alright. I really needed it." He stated. Ash and Misty were still watching from the building.

"Why the hell did she do that?!" Ash exclaimed. Misty then slapped him on the face. "OW, what was that for?"

"Do not use that fowl language around me or the baby, GOT THAT!" she exclaimed.

"Yes ma'am." He stated. She walked off to the elevator and Ash followed, rubbing his cheek.

"Suck it up. You are such a baby." She stated.

"Hey, your hand hurts. That was pretty hard…" he stated as the elevator door closed. "…for a girl anyway." There was the sound of an echoing slap. "OUCH!"

Moltres landed in front of The League base in the mountains. Sirus jumped off with Sabrina in his arms. An earth master was at the door and ran to him.

"Sir is that Mistress Sabrina?" he asked.

"Get the doctors here immediately." He demanded.

"Yes, sir." He stated.

"Come on Sabrina; don't die on me, please. You're all I have left." He pleaded. He was halfway to the infirmary when a group of surgeons with a stretcher met him.

"What happened?" one of them asked.

"No time. She is losing too much blood. Her powers can't heal her fast enough." Said another. "Get her to the emergency room now!" the surgeon looked at Sirus and saw that his arm was badly hurt. "Sir, you should probably get that taken care of." He stated. Sirus looked at Sabrina.

"Can you do it while I'm with her?" he asked. The surgeon looked at him, then Sabrina and sighed.

"Alright, but you will have to be quiet during surgery. The procedure we are going to do is complex and needs absolute silence, understand?"

"Yes, I understand."

"Good, then follow me." The surgeon stated.

Ash and Misty found the mayor sitting on his desk, as if nothing was going on. He held something tightly against him. The people had gathered around the town center again. They waited anxiously as Ash and Misty came out, the mayor right behind them. Everyone cheered when they saw the mayor. He walked up to the podium. The townspeople just noticed the burns on his face and started to chatter angrily.

"Everyone, may I have your attention?" he asked. Everyone quieted down. "I have endured the past day and a half captive. However, I owe my safety to these two masters and their friends." The mayor declared triumphantly. Everyone in the audience applauded and cheered. The mayor motioned for them to quiet down. "So, I shall give them the token that the crooks were after. My most sacred treasure." He turned to Ash and Misty and showed them the item in his hands. It looked like a silver feather. "I give to you the Silver Wing. This is said to be a feather of a legendary pokemon." He stated.

"Um, I mean no disrespect sir, but, we really couldn't accept it." Ash stated.

"Nonsense, you saved my life and drove off those crooks. It's the least I can do."

"Well, I think that Trevor deserves it most. He went through a lot today." Misty stated. The mayor thought about that.

"Well, could you be sure to give this to him then, and my eternal gratitude for saving me and my city." He asked.

"We will." Ash stated as he took the feather in his hands. The mayor looked closely at them.

"If you don't mind me asking, are you two a couple?" he asked. Ash and Misty blushed simultaneously.

"Actually, we are married." Ash said.

"We're expecting our first child soon." Misty added. The mayor clapped his hands together.

"That is wonderful. I am very happy for you two." He stated merrily. He then walked back to the podium. "I would also like to have a feast celebrating Celadon City's new heroes!" he declared. Everyone in the crowd cheered in acceptance.

That night, everyone in the city wanted to talk to the heroes. Ash and Misty were bombarded with questions. Men and women alike gazed at Bruno, amazed that a human could get so big, and asked questions about how they could get in shape. Jesse and James enjoyed the food while Duplica was being asked to dance more times than she could count. The same was for Erika. However, Trevor sat at a table, looking at his hand. Even though he washed it off, he could still feel Sabrina's blood on it. He felt a soft hand touch his shoulder. Emilia sat down next to him with a plate of food.

"Trevor, you should be enjoying the party." Emilia stated. "You need to stop worrying about Sabrina, I'm sure that she's alright. She is a psychic master, she can recover herself." Trevor stayed silent for a few minutes before forcing a smile on his face.

"Your right Emilia, I should enjoy the party." He said. He then looked at her. "Um, Emilia…would…would you like to dance?" he asked. Emilia's face lit up with glee.

"Of course I would!" she exclaimed. Trevor stood up and Emilia took his hand as they walked to the dance floor. It was a slow dance. Trevor and Emilia just seemed to float across the dance square. "I didn't know you could dance." Emilia stated.

"I can't believe I remember how." Trevor replied. Everyone was watching them, but they didn't care. They didn't even notice. They danced like that for half an hour before stopping. When they stopped Trevor slowly reached forward and gave a gentle kiss on the lips. Emilia smiled at him lovingly, before they went back to the 'hero's table'. The mayor, who now had proper bandages on, was talking to Ash. The mayor turned to see Trevor and motioned him to come.

"Ah, so you would be Trevor. I would like to thank you for saving this fine city." The mayor stated.

"It's wasn't really a problem. We were glad to help." Trevor stated. Ash tapped on the mayor's shoulder.

"Mayor, I'm not saying that we don't enjoy being here, it's just we need to find those that escaped. We have been chasing them for a while now." He stated.

"Oh, but wont you at least stay until the festivities are done. It would mean so much to the people." He stated, glancing over to the citizens that were enjoying the party. Ash looked at Misty who nodded.

"Alright, but as soon as the party is over, we will have to leave." Ash stated. The mayor nodded in agreement. "How are your burns?" Ash asked.

"Eh, they hurt every once and a while, but with the city happier than it has been in years, it seems to rejuvenate me." He stated merrily. The party lasted another three hours before people started to leave. When everyone had thanked them and left the mayor looked toward the group. "Do you people need a ride?" he asked.

"Nope." Trevor stated. "We already have a ride." He stated as Lugia flew into town square and landed softly. Trevor, Emilia and Erika climbed on to Lugia's back. Ash created the shadow disc and Misty hopped on. Duplica transformed into Articuno and Jesse, James and Bruno jumped on. The mayor just stood there, mouth gaping as he waved goodbye. They waved back and flew off into the distance.
