Several days had passed since I saw the red ball. I started panicking and ran back into me and Felis's den, and she reluctantly let me back in.

I had explained what had happened and no one believed me, I knew Thunder and Martha would if they were still alive.

I knew for sure.

I felt a strong chill of fear each time I heard that clap noise that indicated another Pokemon was enclosed in those tiny balls.

I had no idea where they had come from.

It didn't help that everyone had started laying eggs, I was terrified. Pixie, Sea Coral, Amber Dawn, Ginger, and even Dew had laid eggs. Camelia and fortunately, my mate, have not.

I insisted to her that we stop mating because our children could get hurt by these mysterious things.

"All Pokemon die, Riptide." Felis muttered. "Mother died from the Bandits, but she never regretted having me and Dew. I think you need to get over your fear of everything you see and hear and raise a family with me."

"Easier said than done." I growled. "How could I just change my fears that quickly?"

"If you want to keep me, you will." Felis snarled. "So I suggest you start working on it."

Felis padded to the entrance of our den and left.

I sighed and left too, but decided to hunt away from Felis.

I do love her, so much that's why I want to keep her safe and not break her heart by watching our children get caught by these things!

I felt a grim and dark feeling wash over me, I decided to visit Pixie and Mud Tail.

I had been walking through Willow Creek, catching the occasional Rattata and caught a Starly to take to Pixie and Mud Tail.

Then I saw Mary Mew again.

"H-Hello." I stammered. "This was...what you were referring to, wasn't it?"

Mary Mew nodded.

"Monmaura is where all Pokemon go where they die. You know that don't you? Good." Mary Mew sighed. "No matter what kind of Pokemon you are, no matter how much family you have, you always go to Monmaura."

"What are you getting at?!" I growled.

"It won't be that way anymore." Mary Mew buried her head in her small paws. "You've changed everything."

"What did I change?!" I growled. "I didn't bring these things here!"

"You did, you spoke to her." Mary Mew hissed. "You spoke to a human, and you let her touch you."

"So?! She was only trying to help me!" I snapped.

"She might have, but her tribe isn't." Mary Mew looked at me with scorn, then her blue eyes widened. "They're coming."

"What?! I-"

The next thing I felt was a sharp stab a pain and Daniel Darkrai's voice.

I was the only one cast out from Monmaura, I begged others to follow me and they have. They're lurking in the shadows with me and we're lost souls roaming the world. I have found I home deep in the Earth that we can all live in. The Darkness Core.

Not so fast, Riptide. I haven't finished. I will bring down those who don't have enough children, and those with the genetic curse.

"What Curse?!" I snarled.

I saw a brief blur of Daniel Darkrai's gleaming blue eyes.

Riptide's Curse

"NO!" I growled. "Genetic?! What are you talking about?!"

All relatives of you now have it and are guaranteed a eternity in the Darkness Core. Me and my mate Gloria can finally have our revenge on the cruel world.

I looked up and saw the thing that gave me pain was a huge metallic yellow monster with a singular but huge black claw.

A human was inside.

It dug out trees from the Earth and I saw Edward Entei looking at it.

"Oh no..." Edward Entei whispered. "HEL-"

Before Edward Entei could finish, another Yellow Monster appeared and knocked Edward Entei into the air, his body flew and hit a tree.

The Guardian of Willow Creek is dead.

Mary Mew flew down and carried his soul up.

That will be the last Pokemon to enter Monmaura without needing to have children.

"What about me?!" I yelled above the Yellow Monsters. "What about what I want?!"

You've taken too much, you were never grateful for the life you've had, a beautiful mate, a brother and sister who loves you, Martha was probably the best mentor you could ever had. But no, you disregarded them as nothing more than specks of dust. You were never a mature Pokemon. The humans are here, they intend to destroy Willow Creek and capture all the Pokemon in it for their use for Monmaura knows what. And it's all your fault.

"I-"

SHUT UP! You never admit when you are wrong! The world you know is ending and you STILL deny this is your fault! ADMIT IT! Maybe this wouldn't have happened if it weren't for your selfishness. Do whatever you want, you're screwed either way,

"Mary Mew?" I whimpered. No response. "MARY MEW!"

Their was no more noises beside the rumbling of the Yellow Monsters.

I will fight them.

I leaped in the air and shot a beam of cold water at them, the Yellow Monster wasn't phased one bit.

Edward Entei could have obliterated them.

That's it! Ragged Wing is a Fire-type! And he has two sons!

I knew I had to find them. Only then we'd stand a chance.

I fell on all fours facing three Yellow Monsters at once and stared them all in the face.

I ran from them as soon as all three came to a halt.

"EVERYONE, MONSTERS ARE COMING TO CATCH US!" I yelled. "Hello?"

No response.

No, everyone couldn't be dead! Mary Mew said they'd be captured, not killed!

"I was wrong, this is my fault." I whimpered. "I have to fix this."
