Happy New Years readers! May the upcoming year be blessed for everyone. If I owned Pokemon, then they would be a story arc about them actually going to high school..DISCLAIMER PLEASE!
Mya: As she said, lp21 doesn't own Pokemon; just me and Adrian.
Adrian: *scoffs*
Clouds began to form over the shining sun on Route 209, the coolness of the clouds' shadows made the travelers more at ease to walk about, especially our favorite magenta-haired coordinator. She was currently sitting on one of the over-water bridges with her feet in the pond, reading a contest booklet. Her pokémon were currently out of their balls and relaxing in the cool air; Aqua, Mimi and Len were in the water playing, Yanmega and Alice were taking a nap beside their trainer and Kaze was floating around in the air, enjoying the wind.
"So the next contest is in Solaceon Town." The coordinator said out loud as she checked her digital map on her poketch. "And it's just at the end of this route! Excellent."
Reaching inside her white bag she pulled out her ribbon case and clicked it open; the orange Floraroma ribbon shined beautifully in the returning sunlight. The magentette sighed and closed the case; both Yanmega and Alice looked up at her, the three pokémon in the water also stopped and gazed at their trainer as well.
Placing a smile on her face, she pats the two pokémon's heads. "Don't worry about me guys, we're going to win the Solaceon contest and add that ribbon to our collection." All the pokémon cheered for joy as the coordinator stood up and placed a hand on her hip. "We won't lose to either Adrian or Mya, so it's now time for some special training." Jessie looked up in the air to spot her ghost pokémon. "Kaze, you ready to win us this ribbon?" The balloon pokémon twirled in the air as the other pokémon cheered, Jessie smiled and then begun the training with not just the ghost pokémon but with the others as well.
After a long session of hard work, the pokémon were returned to their balls as Jessie continued to walk throughout the route; meeting trainers, battling them and taking the prize money. The former criminal had a huge smile on her face as she felt her wallet gaining weight; she then crossed another bridge as she saw an old stone tower.
Curious, she walked to it and inspected the stone tower. She then spotted an inscription on the tower however it was too hard to read. Shrugging her shoulders, Jessie spun on her heel to leave until she felt something hard hit her head from the sky.
Looking in the sky, she saw a Starly flew by and silently cursed at it. "I wonder what this is." She bent down to see a brown rock that was cracked in the middle and had two dots on the side. "Hmm, I think I remember what this is….an Odd Keystone right?" The magentette then looked to the stone tower and thought of something, she then walked to the tower and placed the keystone where the inscription was and tried to re-read it.
"This is the hallowed tower that was built over 500 years ago" Jessie read the sentence out loud and then pouted. "Well that was a waste of my time."
Soon she begun to hear a distant noise as the clouds began to cover the sky again. "Is…is that crying I hear?" Jessie asked herself as she looked at the tower. It began shaking so violently and something green and purple was oozing out the top. Jessie stumbled back as she was frightened over what she saw.
A green and purple-like vortex with a zigzag-liked mouth and crescent-liked eyes emerged from the tower, the keystone began floating in the air under the vortex-like pokémon as it gave Jessie a sinister look and roared out scaring all the other travelers. A dark purple sphere was formed by the pokémon's mouth and released onto the ground; the impact was so powerful that Jessie moved out the way in time before the attack would've hit her; however it made a huge crater on the ground.
Grey clouds were covering the sky as rain started to fall, the magenta-haired coordinator looked in terror as the pokémon glared a cold look in return. She pointed her pokedex at the unknown pokémon.
'Spiritomb; the Forbidden Pokémon. Its constant mischief and misdeeds resulted in it being bound to an Odd Keystone by a mysterious spell.'
Spiritomb then charged another purple ball that looked like a Shadow ball attack and fired it at Jessie; she dodged it but then crashed into a tree trunk, ripping her left sleeve. The rain made her hair cling into her neck and forehead; she was unable to move from her position as the Spiritomb levitated over to her and made a weird noise that sounded like laughing. It then charged yet another Shadow Ball as Jessie braced for the impact of the attack, however a bright blue light came out from her bracelet and a balloon pokémon floated in front of its trainer with a glare.
"Kaze!" Jessie shouted as the pokémon twirled into the air and released a purple-like wind around the other ghost pokémon. Spiritomb winced in pain as the Ominous Wind attack made contact but then endured the pain and released a Shadow Ball attack which hit point-blank sending the Drifloon flying to the ground.
The coordinator stood up and looked at her pokémon. "Kaze! Please endure the hit! I know you can!" The falling Drifloon regained its balance and flew upwards again, right above the Spritomb; Jessie smirked and stretched her arms. "Double Team!"
A circle of Drifloons were surrounding the Spiritomb as it tried to look for the real one, the coordinator then snapped her fingers. "Hex!" All the Drifloons, with their slinky arms covered in an ominous purple gas, charged at the Spritomb and landed a critical hit to the ghost pokémon. Jessie smirked as she looked at the smoke from the impact and her pokémon flying upwards looking down, however they saw a transparent purple fist coming from the smoke and landed a point-blank punch to the Drifloon; the attack was so powerful that it sent the pokémon crashing towards its trainer, pushing them both back until they were over a dirt pit.
Jessie looked down and gripped Kaze very close to her when another blue light emerged from her bracelet and then a blue light cloaked her and the ghost pokémon. Jessie looked to see her psychic pokémon Alice holding them above the pit with her psychic attack, and also binding the Spiritomb from moving. Alice moved her trainer to a level grounded area as she released them, Jessie thanked the psychic pokémon as she looked at the Spiritomb trying to break free from the attack, however upon further inspection, the ghost pokémon looked weak. 'Time to finish it off!'
"Alice, psyshock!" Jessie commanded. The Ralts then unleashed her attack that landed a critical hit to the pokémon. It became so weak that it retreated back into the Odd Keystone; Jessie took this chance and pointed to the stone. "Alice, throw that thing so far away that it breaks or not meet civilization again." The psychic pokémon nodded as its eyes glowed blue, the keystone levitated and as the speed of light, it flew into the sky leaving a twinkle.
The coordinator sighed and collapsed onto the ground. "It's over…." She then realized she was holding her injured ghost pokémon and took a glimpse at him. He was motionless as Jessie gasped.
"Kaze?" She called out the pokémon's name waiting for a response but there was none. Jessie touched the pokémon's white fluff to feel it ice cold, she held the pokémon close to her chest as she felt tears flowing down her cheek added with the rain drops. "I'm sorry…..I'm so sorry…." Alice walked up to her trainer and touched her hands, Jessie lowered the motionless pokémon for Alice to see him, and the pokémon lowered her head as the coordinator looked to the sky. "I'm sorry Kaze."
As minutes went by, the rain did not let up; Jessie sat on the wet ground, crying for her lost pokémon. A minute later she felt no more water being pelted down her head and neck; she looked up to see a black umbrella above her head. Turning her body, she saw a purple ball gown that had a yellow 'X' clip on the bottom right; the dress was complimented with a black fur jacket that covered the wearer's arms. Jessie looked at the female's face to remember that she was one of the gym leaders, Fantina.
Fantina leaned and held Jessie's shoulder. "Come with me mon ami." She then helped Jessie up as the gym leader led her to a path covered by trees, the two ladies then arrived at the end of the path standing in front of a tall tower.
"Zes is where your Drifloon will be placed to rest mon ami. Ze Lost Tower." Fantina and Jessie both walked inside the tower as they saw some people there praying and placing flowers on gravestones. "Come mon ami, I will let the monarchs of the tower help you with ze burial." The ghost-type gym leader led the coordinator to the top of the tower where they were more people praying in gravestones.
Fantina went to two old ladies and curtsied at them. "Miss Amber and Miss Amie, Good afternoon."
The old ladies nodded as they looked in Jessie's direction and saw a motionless pokémon in her pale hands. One pointed to the soaked female. "So she wants a burial?"
"Oui Madame Amie." The old ladies nodded as they prepared a burial place. An hour later, Jessie stood over a tombstone that had the inscription:
"Kaze the Drifloon. Such a vibrant life was rudely taken. Valley Windworks to Route 209."
'I never felt such pain when I'm looking at this tombstone.' The coordinator thought as she looked to her five pokémon whom were all crying in silence, she then removed her white flower from her hair and placed it on top of the tombstone. 'For all you have done Kaze….Thank you.' A tear escaped her eyes as she recalled her pokémon, thanked Fantina and the old ladies and left the tower.
Walking up the route, she stumbled a little but regained her balance. Looking down, she saw a heel from her shoe was broken; also her white pants were covered in dirt and mud. Sighing, she touched her right sleeve which had a huge rip and continued to walk until she saw the lights of a town.
"Solaceon town. I finally made it." Walking into the town, Jessie desperately tried to find a Pokémon center but couldn't find it; being weak, tired and depressed after what had happened moments before her arrival, the magentette suddenly collapsed and blacked out.
The last thing she saw was a glimpse of a pair of small feet running towards her and a color of green looking down at her.
