Chapter 20: Guardian of the Sea

Lyra laughed happily, calling out her new Dragonite, jumping on his back, flying into the air, saying, "Bye Silvy, bye Ethan."

She waved toward us, with that camera still in her hand as she disappeared into the distance.

I sighed, shaking my head, turning to leave; suddenly though I felt Ethan tackle me from behind.

"Where are you going, Silvy?" Ethan asked, with a smirk, holding back laughter obviously.

"First thing, don't call me that Fag," I growled, looking up at him, kicking him off me, standing to my feet, "Second thing, where I am going is none of your freaking business."

"Hey, I have an idea though," Ethan said, following after me, "Why don't we trade with each other as a truce?"

I simply glared at him, growling, "Like hell will I ever trade with you!"

One hour later...

I stared at the pokeball that was my new Alkazam that I traded the Fag my Skarmory for. I muttered to myself as I walked from New Bark Town, "How the hell do those two get me to do stuff so easily?"

I sighed slightly to myself and called out my Golbat just wanting to get to those islands where the sea creature was rumored to exist. I knew it was Lugia and if I could catch the legendary maybe I could finally defeat Lyra. I got onto Golbat, flying toward the Whirlpool Islands, over all the region of Johto, finally landing on one of the shores, looking into the cave. I couldn't help but smile as I heard a roar from inside.

I stepped inside and looked around, hearing the roar once more deep inside the cave. I smirked to myself, walking into the depths of the island itself. It took me a few minuets to reach a chamber where a waterfall cascaded down the rocks, the walls of the chamber sparkled with the dim light that came from hope above, and there in the center sitting on a rock was the Guardian of the Sea, Lugia.

He roared at me, spreading his hand like wings, saying into my mind, 'Welcome human child. It has been long since one came with a feather of mine, wishing to catch me.'

"Lugia, Guardian of the Sea, yes I wish to catch you will you give me the chance?" I asked, looking at the silver pokemon that's colored matched my own eyes and name.

His wings began to flap causing powerful gust to push at my body, I stood my ground placing my arm in front of my face, my long red hair flying in the wind. He flew toward me, landing on the ground before me, his voice coming into my mind, 'Silver, yes I know your name child, I shall battle you and your partners. If you defeat me, I will become your partner as well. The human rival of yours has already befriended my sister I see. So my choice is obvious. Call forth your first pokemon, let this battle begin.'

I looked at the legendary that towered before me as I hoped I stood a chance. I gripped my pokeball, calling out Magneton for my first member.

Magneton separated to avoid Lugia's Aeroblast as I called out, "Thunderbolt, Magneton!"

Magneton hit Lugia hard with a Thunderbolt before he could get down Safeguard so he ended up paralyzed.

Lugia cried out before concentrating his psychic energy on Magneton forcing a powerful wave of psychic energy outwards throwing Magneton into the wall.

Magneton floated up forming the three again as it's magnets spinning, sending another Thunderbolt at the legendary.

This went on for awhile with me having to use Weavile, after Megneton fainted, finally bringing Lugia down to critical health with a night slash. I threw a Dusk Ball hoping it was dark enough in this cave to take full affect.

The ball shook there on the cave floor back and forth 3 times before the click resounded through the cave. I blinked my silver eyes, running over, grabbing the ball from the caves floor, smiling saying softly, "Well I caught a legendary, Lugia is mine."

'Yes I am, Silver,' Lugia said into my mind weakly, 'But for now I rest.'

I nodded, taking that Alkazam's pokeball from my belt, sending it to the pc before placing Lugia's on my belt in it's place. I then called out Golbat, flying through the hole in the ceiling of the cave to Cianwood, knowing I needed to return Weavile. I landed just as it was getting morning, the battle against Lugia having taken all night. I walked toward the boy's house, knocking on the door. I looked down at Weavile's pokeball, hating that I had to return the one pokemon that reminded me of my mother. I bit my lip as the door opened in front of me.

"Your the one who stole Sneasel!" the boy yelled, glaring at me, "What do you want? I gave away my other pokemon so you wouldn't steal it, if that is what you want."

"No actually I am here trying to clear my conscious," I growled, placing Weavile's pokeball in his hand, "Here, your precious pokemon back safe and sound. He is also a lot stronger now thanks to me."

The boy blinked then sighed, saying, "I'm not really cut out to be a strong trainer...please just keep him."

He handed the pokeball back to me before closing the door on me.

"What is with these people and not accepting it when I try to return stuff?" I muttered to myself as I walked toward the pokemon center to heal before I went to Victory Road. I had my full team and Lugia at my side, I was more then ready.

I healed them and headed to the beach calling out Lugia to fly to Tojo Falls on. I smiled climbing onto his back, flying into the sky farther then Golbat ever took me. I knew this was my final test, I was going to beat Lyra then the Elite Four and prove to everyone how I've changed.
