A/N: last chapter I introduce a loveable (maybe) character named Kasmir. He's a character I made in the past and I can't seem to leave him out of this story.
Anyways, it's crunch time for Hiku!
Chapter 11
The man in black dropped the limp form of Hiku in the grass and quickly pulled out a knife. He would quickly slit her throat and then take off after his partner to escape to safety. He didn't like it, but it was his duty.
Suddenly, several things happened at once.
A white and red Zangoose crashed through the brush and made a bee-line for the man. Secondly, the brown haired trainer came crashing after the Pokémon. Thirdly and most of all strange, the air rippled and a person with blonde hair materialized in a tree. The branch snapped and the strange teleporting person landed on top of the man in black, stopping him from wounding Hiku.
The trainer and Pokémon stood back and stared as well. They weren't expecting someone else to help them.
The man in black cursed and flailed his arm wildly, hoping to wound Hiku and the strange boy who had foiled his plans. He grinned as he felt it driving into flesh.
The strange teleporting boy saw that the man had dug his knife into Hiku's chest. He suddenly became angry, face contorted in a demon-like rage. The strange boy roared and lifted the man in black up in the air by his collar. A strange, blue orb of power glowed at the boy's hand and he plunged it into the enemy's stomach.
The man wheezed in pain and fell to the ground.
The strange boy glared intensely at the snatcher. "You sicken me, fiend! Trying to kill your own kind!" a purple aura grew around him and the man was lifted into the air yet again by a psychic attack. The man was lifted high into the sky, and then dropped back to earth.
The man in black fell to the ground on his head with a sickening crunch and laid very still.
The strange boy stood in his same position until he had calmed down, then he bent over the wounded trainer.
Jaylon could barely believe what he had seen. The rookie glanced over at Forte and the taller boy shook his head, indicating that he had no idea of what this was either.
The brown haired trainer waited a couple seconds before quietly stammering, "Who-who are you?"
The strange teleporting boy looked up from Hiku's form and jumped to his feet. "Oh Great Aaron, I didn't know I had an audience…" he smiled nervously and asked, "Hi, how are you?"
"How did you do that?" Jaylon didn't lose his surprise.
The boy opened and closed his mouth several times without making a sound.
"Zangoose Zan-Zan Zangoose goose, goose Zan Zangoose [he's a strong Pokémon, I can smell it.]" Rain tensed by Jaylon's side.
The boy smiled again and rubbed his neck. "Well seeing that you saw me in combat, there's no point in lying to you." He opened his eyes and they flashed purple. "I'm Kasmir." He waited for a reply, as if a simple name could account for the strangeness he had showed earlier.
"Meaning…" Jaylon left off.
Kasmir raised his eyebrows. "Really, you haven't heard about me? But I've been known in Kanto, I grew up there, and I helped the Lugia Rider in the Razzen battle in Sinnoh…"
Jaylon had no clue what this kid was talking about. "You are pretty much speaking Pokéspeak right now."
"I am? Crap!" the purple eyed boy jumped up.
Forte gave Jaylon another weird glance.
Rain came up and sniffed Kasmir. She growled softly, "Goose, goose Zan, Zan-Zan Zangoose [you certainly smell like a Pokémon…]"
"What, you are a Pokémon?" Jaylon was even more confused. "But you look like a normal human…"
Kasmir blinked several times, then ran up close to Jaylon happily, "Cool, I didn't know you could understand Pokémon too!" he corrected himself and stepped back. "But that isn't important; your friend is badly hurt. I'll get all you guys to a great place to heal up!" he winked his purple eyes charmingly.
"What are you…?" Jaylon started, but the air had become waving and hard to move through. He felt panic rising up in his throat, but it couldn't escape. The world twisted and compressed all around Jaylon. The sensation persisted several seconds more before it broke.
Forte, Jaylon, Maku, and Rain fell to the ground after the strain of the teleport attack.
Kasmir on the other hand seemed impervious to the effect. He picked up the wounded and drugged Hiku gingerly. "I'll get her some medical help, and then I'll introduce myself to you a little better. Don't move, ok?" he turned around and pranced off lightly.
Agent J was happy to catch his breath on the strange tiled floor he was laying on. So many things had happened so fast, it was starting to feel as if he was in Wonderland. He closed his eyes and soon began to nap, despite being on a cold, hard floor.
...
Kasmir, wounded Hiku in tow, ran as fast as he could back up to the study where the two Raquaza's were. He dodged by several other captains and undercover trainers that Raquaza employed. He didn't stop to talk with anyone, even though he loved being social.
He floated up the winding stairs and ran into the room outside the study. He kicked at the door and cried out, "Cor- erh, Raquaza! I got Hiku here! Come QUICK!"
The study door flew open and the two Raquaza's ran out. The younger Raquaza put her hand to her mouth. "Kasmir, how on earth did you…?"
The Human-looking Mewtwo shrugged. "I knew that Hiku was in danger already by listening in on Second Raquaza's call, and then I thought, I could find her in Oldale, 'cause that's where she lives. So I teleported over and ended up saving her," he paused and glanced at the red spot on her chest, "At least, I kind of saved her…"
"You genius!" the younger Raquaza threw herself at him and she hugged the Mewtwo. "After knowing you as a naïve little Pokémon, you actually have some sense! Great job, Kasmir!"
Kasmir reddened and smiled a bit. "Thanks, I guess…"
The second Raquaza walked up and inspected the still unconscious girl. "She needs medical help immediately. Take her to our medic, Kasmir."
The boy/Pokémon nodded and teleported quickly. He reappeared in the infirmary of Raquaza'a hideout. It was a large, white tiled room with many beds but only one medic cleaning medical tools. The said medic, a man with chocolate brown hair and an Audino at his side, looked up from his work.
Kasmir wasted no time; he quickly explained to the medic what had happened, then teleported away again to find the two boys and their Pokémon. Boy, this day is full of surprises! He thought to himself. I didn't think Corinne would hug me like that. He teleported back to the main entrance of Raquaza's hideout and found the boys and their Pokémon exactly where he had left them.
The Mewtwo smiled and poked the sleeping form of Jaylon Wicklow and Forte. They didn't stir from their sleep; neither did the Zangoose or the Makuhita. Maybe the Teleporting wore them out… that has happened before. He thought. Maybe I should have the Medic look after them too, and then I can find them when they wake up. I'm sure they will be full of questions, and I can't keep a secret.
