Disclaimer: If I owned Pokémon, there would be more than 493
Author's Note: Darkrai and Cresselia don't appear in this chapter until the very end because I thought that this was a different way to introduce them to a new future.
Chapter 9 – Jet
Name: Jet

Occupation: War: Spy
(Point of View of Jet)
Here I was, wondering through a land of white searching for a human base in the snow. My job? To infiltrate it and find out as much as possible. But I wasn't speeding along at my usual rate. The snow was providing too much of a problem. I hadn't guessed that the snowfield would go on for this long. That small problem meant I could fail my mission. I had been going for three days now without stopping. The weather was so harsh, that even an ice-type like me would freeze to death. If I stopped, even to sleep, I would die. That is why I have to keep going, for freedom and my life.

(PoV of Jet)
Three more days later, and I could finally see it. The human base. The only bad point was that I was running out of energy, and fast! I began running, trying to get there quicker, while it became clearer and clearer through the deadly blizzard. If I was gonna make it, I was gonna make it now.
I could see my destination coming into sight, a ventilation pipe going into the side of the building. Once I got in, I actually thanked the humans for their intelligence; they had central heating in the pipes. Even in here though, I could still feel the cold air being sucked inside by the fans. I brought up some speed and managed to go directly through the spinning blades, unfortunately getting a small gash on my arm. After looking through a small grate on the bottom, I decided on pushing it down. Three humans in the room with me turned around. Upon noticing me just standing there, recovering from the fall, they immediately grabbed some firearms and began shooting.
-
(Guess who? Jet!)
Luckily for me, the moment caused me to finally get the adrenaline I needed, and somehow managed to dodge the three bullets and slash open two of their necks. I turned to the third one as his comrades fell. He slowly staggered back, and I smirked at him – he knew he had lost! That's when an alarm began to blare.
-
(Maybe it's jet)
I shouldn't have trusted him; he had been going for the alarm, not backing off. Now it was him who was smirking, but I quickly wiped it off with a claw to the face. Before he even managed to touch the ground, I had also destroyed the alarm. Using the time I had, I searched the room for anything that would give me energy quickly – I couldn't rely on adrenaline forever! In the third draw down, I found a small pile of chocolate bars. Hearing footsteps, I began to eat the bars as quickly as possible. Anyone looking at me now would call me a Grumpig for stuffing my mouth with so much. Unfortunately, the chocolate bars would take about five minutes to give me their energy, and the humans aren't that slow, so it's adrenaline for now.

I was resting in the room, waiting for the mass amount of humans to appear, all calling out 'intruder!' at the top of their voices. Hearing a small whooshing sound, along with paws on the floor, I guessed they had sent out one of their Pokémon to fight with them. I stood up as it neared, and sure enough, a Mightyena came around the corner, barking its head off. It didn't get much further than the corner though, as in a single, swift movement, my sharp claws managed to cleave its head right off. I made silent prayers that it would make it to Arceus' heaven. Humans are evil and savage, and they can abandon their friends. But Pokémon are nicer, often helping those they love, like the Mightyena. Unfortunately for me, its death yelp had obviously warned the other humans, and with more whooshing sounds, and more sounds on the floor, I knew it was going to be a tough fight.

(If you can't guess yet, it's still Jet)
The first round the corner was a trio of Golbats.
"Look what the cat dragged in!" One of the bats said. On the other hand, I decided for action, not words, and had already too out his friends by the time he finished the sentence. Then after five whole days of not speaking, I finally did.
"If you haven't noticed, numbnut, I am a cat!" He didn't have time to throw another insult before his life ended. But the next Pokémon in actually made me that bit scared. A Flygon. And it had already brought up a Flamethrower. I dodged out of the way, but got a small burn. I took the small chance I had and swiped at his throat before retreating back to my position. As the smoke from the flames disappeared up the vents, I saw that a Flygon's armour of scales was tougher than I thought, and that he had only received a small scratch!
"What're ya gonna do now, little kitty?" he taunted.
My reaction to that was anger, which caused a quickly charged Ice Punch to fly at his head. I heard snapping; probably his neck, then he fell over with a loud crash. There were three Dustox, six Swellows, and a Blaziken behind it. They were probably waiting to see if Flygon won. The Blaziken decided it was going to lean against a wall, but the other nine Pokémon wanted to attack. And they did.
-
(As if you couldn't guess by now)
I immediately sprung to action, taking down one of the Swellows, but getting scratched a little by two more in the process. I turned and saw one heading for me, so held up one claw, and its eyes went right to the claws. I threw the mess of a bird at the others. After that, I simply sped around the room, slashing at the Dustox, all while avoiding their toxic spores. After seeing their friends torn to shreds, the rest of the Swellows fled back around the corner, leaving just the Blaziken and me. Said Blaziken blankly stared at me. I was just about to open my mouth to talk, when it sped towards me with a fire punch.
I narrowly dodged the attack, but landed awkwardly. I looked up to see my luck came out well; the fire chicken had its fist stuck in the wall. I let out a sigh of relief and prepared myself for a very angry Blaziken. I stood, smirking at it. What I forgot about was one of its famous aspects. One that hit me square in the face. Damned Blaze Kick. I growled and jumped to the wall. I used it as an object to propel myself at the struggling bird, spinning for extra speed. My claw hit it directly in the eyes.
-
(Guess, I dare you!)
"You bastard!" The bird shouted, pulling its hand free and clutching its face. I rushed forward, aiming to finish it. What I got was another Blaze Kick to the face! I went sprawling across the ground, while it sped after me like having no eyes was no problem at all. I rolled to the side to avoid another Blaze Kick. It began a barrage of Fire Punches as I realised that I had to stay on the defensive; another hit and I would be a gonner. Dodging to the left and right multiple times, I read his pattern and found an opening. That's when I struck. In the chest, to knock the wind out him. He was down, so I quickly pulled off a Night Slash, striking the neck.
-
(Do I need to bother?)
He was dead, no need to check that. I looked down at him and immediately regretted it. The sight of eye sockets without the eyes generally does make you queasy. I heard the humans where incredibly close, so I searched for a place to hide. Soon, I found a cupboard and slid inside.
It was bigger than I thought it to be. I looked around after turning the light on. There wasn't much in here. I sat down on the floor, and tried to rest and gather up energy, before they found me. But remembering that I was a spy, I swiftly and quietly pressed my ear against the door.
"What happened in here?" One of the humans asked.
"I dunno," Another one, female, answered, "Hey, look up there!" I was slightly tempted to open the door and see what they were looking at, but they shouted it out anyway. "The vents! So that's where our spy's gone! John, send a Sneasel up there immediately! We have to find it."
I chuckled at their stupidity; they thought I escaped through the vents! I really felt like opening the door now, they would be so surprised.
Suddenly, there was a bright flash, and as I spun around, two Pokémon where floating in the middle of the room. And the purple one said exactly what I was thinking:
"What now?"
So yeah! Cresselia and Darkrai finally appeared! What do you think of Jet?
Oh! And thanks to Queen Palkia for the reviews!
