Chapter 12: Signs of a ThreatSomewhere high in the sky at night...
"Atta girl, Mimzy. I know your beat, but just a little bit longer. I know you can do it." said a boy riding on top of his faithful Flygon. The dragon type had been soaring above and below the clouds nonstop for eight hours with her trainer perched on her back. Average Pokemon could only manage up to a few hours or so without weight on their backs, and with a determined nod Mimzy growled in agreement and flew onward, driven to prove to her trainer that she was the best flyer out there.
He flinched a little as Mimzy flapped her diamond-shaped wings, and the young man could feel the wounds he'd received from his battle with Damon a few nights ago beginning to ache again. Looking over the dragon's side the young man could see the patchwork of fields slowly turn into untamed wilderness and vast open plains. In his mind he thought,
Next time we meet Damon, you can be sure I won't be the one in pain...
He shook the feeling from himself as soon as he heard his Flygon croon in worry.
"Don't worry girl. I'm alright." said the man with a small smirk on his face. He patted Mimzy's neck for comfort and as he returned his arms to their warm jacket pockets, he felt his fingers brush against the small trinket that Damon and him had fought over. Pushing his coal black hair away from his deep red eyes, he removed the crystal-like object from the depths of the pocket and turned it carefully in his fingers while examining it from all angles. It still gave off a soft, pretty white glow, and the boy couldn't help but smile a litte at the sight of it.
"What could be so important about this thing anyway?" questioned the young man. He felt his wrist communicator vibrate as someone else was trying to contact him. He placed the small jewel in his pocket and proceeded to answer his call as he and Mimzy flew away into the darkening horizon.

Lune, Bolt and Riley made their way to the cave of Zoroark and her son Zak, who was a Zorua, which was on the opposite side of the flowery field in the hidden Waterfall village. Lune was staggering behind with a heavy mind as to what Lady Lilligant had told him only minutes ago. That he was connected with a legendary Pokemon. That he had to go meet another Pokemon on a place called Cloud Mountain in order to find out what Pokemon's spirit was intertwined with his. That he was the cause of Alex and Jade being abducted.
"You okay, pal?" questioned Bolt. The Pikachu had lingered back and was now walking next to Lune. Riley continued onward, and the pair followed behind.
"Yeah. I guess I'm alright." whispered Lune. Bolt sighed and looked up at the glittering moon. "I know you, and I know your too stubborn to admit it, but I can tell your afraid. I mean, who in their right mind wouldn't be? You've got a lot going on in that head of yours, and I worry about you. You need to relax and not blame yourself so much, okay?", said Bolt.
Lune furrowed his eyebrows and gritted his teeth, but didn't reply and soon sprinted ahead of Bolt and even Riley and was soon far ahead of the two. Bolt sighed and drooped his pointy ears and continued to walk towards the Lucario with an upset feeling in his heart.
"I think I went to far." said Bolt. Riley gazed at the Pikachu with a questionable look on his face for a moment, but didn't replay and continued to walk through the flowery field. The Lucario raised his right paw to his neck and let his head rest for a moment as he watched Lune dissapear near the end of the field.
I don't blame myself for what has happened. I blame the ones who did this to me.

Markus Staffon sat at his desk tapping his ringed fingers on his solid oak desk. His Liepard sat near his feet, swishing her tail back and forth in anticipation. Markus furrowed his eyebrows in deep thought,
That child, Alex. I had no idea that she was a Blessed one too, and she has no idea of it. I had only abducted her and the little rat she carries around to get to the older one. But I guess luck has a way of working with me these days.
Luck has nothing to do with this, sir.
Mewtwo. I haven't spoken with you in some time. Where are you now?
I'm at an undisclosed location. I've helped your men in capturing Regirock and Regice. I am currently keeping registeel detained until they come here, and then we are departing for the base.
That is very good. I'm proud to have you with me. Damon has left to begin the next assignment.
Do you trust him with that kind of mission? Wouldn't it be better to send me instead?
Now, now Mewtwo. I have faith in Damon that he will succeed. He has yet to prove me wrong. That's the end of it. I await for your return to the base.
Yes, sir., and, if I may offer my opinion, sir, I find you work your best when you use your wild imagination. I have to go now. I ll come see you as soon as my mission is completed.
Markus felt a small tinge in his body, like a cord being severed as Mewtwo broke the psychic connection between them. The man folded his right leg over his left as he sat in his leather chair and turned to face the window behind his desk. Markus then brushed his hand over the scar that crossed his left eye, a malicious grin slowly spreading over his face.

Having fully recovered from his previous battle, Aerodactyl soared through the night sky underneath a full grown forest at full speed. The fossil Pokemon had been chasing Lune, Bolt and Riley since he last saw them two days ago nonstop. He bared his fangs and thought,
That cursed Lucario. He made a complete fool out of me! . When I find him I'm going to claw out his throat, and then I can continue the mission of capturing that damned Umbreon. I can still prove to Master that I am his best Pokemon!
Aerodactyl growled as he heard a familiar voice calling from under the trees. It was a distinctive whistle and he soon folded his wings closer to his body and dropped like a stone towards the ground below. At the last second he snapped his wings out and caught an updraft, and landed on a thick tree branch about 50 feet from the ground.
The fossil Pokemon's hunter eyes could see well in the dark, and it wasn't long until he spotted a familiar figure standing on a tree branch from the tree to his right.
"It's been quite some time darling. I hope your well," said Mienshao with a slight sneer.
"Mi...Milady Mienshao! What are you doing here? Who are you with?" squawked Aerodactyl.
"I'm here with your master, Damon, on an important assignment. He isin't too happy with you. He thinks you've failed in your mission to capture that Umbreon my Markus so desperately wants. If you don't hurry and get the job done, your going to be severely punished." said Meinshao with the flick of her whip-like tail.
Aerodactyl cowered a bit on the branch and then glared at the Fighting-type.
"No need to worry. I have the Umbeon's scent, and I have a good idea of where he is based on his travel patterns that I've observed over the last two days."
Mieshao suddenly jumped from her tree branch and pounced on Aerodactyl's back. She then grabbed the two small horns on the rock-types head and yanked violently backwards. Aerodactyl screeched in pain.
"You listen here you lumbering idiot. I'm going with Damon to capture another target for Markus. We have a plane waiting by the coast of the south sea. We will be there tomorrow with our target, and you had better be there with yours as well. I suggest you round up some of your rock buddies and attack the Waterfall Village he's hiding in." said Mienshao in a harsh, hushed voice. "H-How did you know where he was hiding? I could-"began Aerodactyl, but was cut off as Mienshao snarled in his face, spraying spit in the air.
She then yanked the Pokemon's head back a bit farther, causing him more pain. "That's not really important as to how I know where he is. What I do know is that I'll kill you with my bare hands if you don't complete this job. Do I make myself clear?" the Mienshao whispered. Aerodactyl nodded is head as much as he could. The fighting-type then smirked once more, and while keeping her grip on the fossil Pokemon's horns she stepped onto the branch he had been standing on, and with a casual toss she threw the Pokemon into the hair.
Aerodactyl squawked and regained his balance and took off into the night sky in a panic as Mienshao chuckled from below.
"Meinshao! Where are you? We have to go! Now!" shouted a male's voice from below.
That human is lucky I'm not punishing him either. though Mienshao as she jumped down from the tree and landed next to a human man with chestnut colored hair.
"It's time to move out. We need to capture the legendary ice bird, Articuno, by sunrise if we want to be back to the plane on time. This way." said Damon, who was pointing towards a faint path hidden underneath dead leaves on the forest floor. As he began to walk away with Mienshao in close step behind him, an evil glow began to form in the sadistic Pokemon's eyes.
