NEVERMORE
~Part One Of Forever Trilogy~
Chapter 20
Children of the Pokedex Holders
We stumbled upon a lake. It was a large lake, with a small cave island in the center. There was snow everywhere around it, but the water was not frozen over. Not caring that we would be sitting on frozen ground, we all collasped down. We had run pretty far, and I knew I was definitely exhausted.
We were quiet as we regained our breath. When I felt better, I stood up and sat down on a rock instead. Raiden leaped onto my lap, and then hopped onto my shoulder. I patted him, thanking him for his hard work. If his Thunderbolt hadn't been so powerful, we wouldn't be here.
"Oh, Lady, it's really you!" Rubin cried, clutching the Poochyena to his chest, tears streaming out of his eyes like a fountain. "I never thought I'd see you again!"
"Pinkie," said Jade, hugging the Jigglypuff, tears pricking at her eyes. "You're really alive..."
Plato stood up, and brushed the snow off his pants. "So then it's really true, huh?" he said.
"What's true?" asked Chase, clueless.
I nodded numbly, ignoring Chase. "Yeah...have any of you been having strange dreams?"
"When I come to think of it," said Jade, looking up at the sky. "Yes."
"About some masked guy and that cruel woman," said Plato.
"I had that dream, too!" exclaimed Rubin.
"What the hell are you guys talking about?" demanded Sapphire. "Strange dreams? Masked guy?"
I sighed. "It's a really long story."
"Always is," said Am.
"You guys are weird," said Scarlet, patting her Charizard. "But that's okay!"
"You have no idea what hell we've been through," I snapped. "So just shut up!"
"You wanna go, blondie?" snapped Scarlet. Chuey was up too, cheeks crackling. "You obviously think you're something special!"
I laughed bitterly. "Yeah, right. Fu-"
"Both of you shut up," snapped Chase. "I want to know what the hell is going on right now."
"You know guys," said Viola, "fighting is not the answer. We need to go through this with rational minds."
"I have to agree with Viola," Rubin piped up.
"Shut it, girly-boy. Butt out, Chase," snapped Scarlet. "If she wants a battle, I'll give her one!"
Raiden and Chuey are already in each others faces, cheeks crackling. The Raichu was much bigger than the Pikachu, but Raiden had spunk to back him up. But I didn't move from my spot. I really wasn't in the mood for a fight.
"Leave Topaz alone," said Jade, getting definsive. "Who do you think you are?"
The black-haired girl flashed a brilliant smile. "I am Scarlet Moore, descendant of Red and Yellow, and Chase's girlfriend!"
"Well, that explains a lot," muttered Plato.
"What?" I wasn't sure what I was yelling about; the descendant or girlfriend part.
She crossed her arms, smirking. "You heard me right. Beat that."
"Topaz can totally beat that!" exclaimed Rubin. "She's Red and Yellow's daughter!"
"WHAT?" That was everybody that hadn't been there for Karen's monologue.
Rubin crossed his arms, obviously smug. "Nobody can beat that. Right, Lady?"
"Poochy poochy!" she barked. No one can!
Everyone was staring at me. I scowled. "Told you it was a long story."
"One that we don't even fully remember," said Plato, frowning.
"We will tell you what we know," said Jade. "The memories from our dreams."
But before anyone could say anything, Frosty began to glow. The Eevee began to change shape. Rubin, Plato, Jade, and I gasped. Frosty was no longer an Eevee; he had evolved into a Glaceon. Diamonda was thrilled.
After that we told them what we remembered. It turned out that Chase had been having strange dreams, too. He was really Grey, son of Black and White. It was all so confusing. And I was so tired. I was tired of being on the lam, tired of being cold and dirty. I was tired of being tired.
After all that explaining, Eiji produced Poke Balls for us all. We were able to capture our Pokemon inside the devices so we could safely go into Snowpoint City. The only problem after that was being recognized. But we would deal with that as it came. We checked into a rather sleezy hotel, but it was better than nothing.
...
The next day, we left Snowpoint City. We were lucky no one recognized us. We officially crossed the Sinnoh border into Hoenn. Next stop was Littleroot Town, where Rubin was from. Maybe we would meet some Pokemon friendly people. That would make life so much easier!
I accidenly posted chapter 19 unfinished, so please reread the ending! Yeah...that explains EVERYTHING about Scarlet, doesn't it? xP so, yeah...there's a change in plans. The basic plot is still on, but some other stuff has been changed, like Topaz's love interest.
Can anyone guess who? ^^
Topaz's Viridian powers will be pretty handy soon ;) and they're FINALLY reaching Hoenn!
