Me: okay! Let's get this show on the road!
Rhythmi: prepare to be amazed and shocked!
Cassidy: pokelover0ash does not own Pokemon. She only owns her OCs and her own ideas.
Emily: Let's get ready to rumble!
Kellyn: who are you?
Ashleigh: oh, they're friends of mine ^^
Chapter 21
"Looks like I made it just in time," the girl said. Wait, I know that voice! It's, it's Ashleigh!
"Wait, you!" Blake Hall said while shaking his index finger at Ashleigh. "I just saw you on t.v. today! You're supposed to be in Sinnoh!" Ashleigh smiled.
"Oh, so you saw my performance," she replied. "Well, I'll just tell you that I have the fastest Flygon in world." She then turned to me. "Kellyn, my Pokemon are for you to use for Poke Assists. You take Darkrai, I get Blake." I nodded and readied my styler.
"Grunts! Get her!" Blake Hall shouted. A bunch of Dim Sun goons came up and surrounded Ashleigh.
"ASHLEIGH!" I shouted. She grinned and then with a swirl of her wrist she knocked out the inner perimeter of goons. I was shocked. She spun around and either hit the goons with her bo staff or she kicked them. It was amazing.
"Capture Darkrai already!" she shouted and I nodded and began to capture Darkrai. She jumped over Darkrai and landed a kick in Blake Hall's face before he could mess with the Incredible Machine. "Blake Hall, don't think I've forgiven you for having your goons hold a gun to Kellyn's head!" She whipped the bo staff around and I cringed as I saw where it had hit Blake Hall: the private area. I decided to ignore Ashleigh's angry rage for now as I went to capture Darkrai. I was going to capture it when Darkrai some how managed to break free.
Hastings called and said something about the stones, Vontage Styler, and energy. I was paying much attention due to what was going on. My styler then began to glow blue, red, and yellow and I understood that I could capture it now.
~Ashleigh's P.O.V.~
I punch Blake Hall in the face and then did an uppercut to his chin. He tried to punch me but I dodged and he tried to kick me but he missed. We proceed to have hand-to-hand combat.
I looked back to see that Kellyn's styler started to glow. It was a mistake to take my eyes off of my opponent.
He grabbed my hair and yanked it. It was so painful and tears started to form in my eyes.
No, I can't let Kellyn see this. He can't be distracted when he was facing Darkrai. I kicked Blake Hall's leg as hard as I could and he did let go of my hair. I slugged him one in the face for what he just did.
Blake Hall's a monster. He then took out a switchblade and tried to cut me with it. I was stepping back trying to avoid him swiping me with the blade.
Man, I hope Kellyn's paying more attention to Darkrai than he is to me at the moment. I tried hitting the switchblade from his hand while using my bo staff. It only made him cut himself.
How tightly is he holding on to that knife for crying out loud? This is ridiculous.
I looked over to see that Kellyn was just finishing his capture. That was good.
I felt metal meet my stomach as Kellyn finished capturing Darkrai. I looked down to see that Blake Hall had cut my stomach. He looked shocked, like he finally realized what he was doing.
~Kellyn's P.O.V.~
I finished my capture and turned to announce the good news to Ashleigh only to see Blake Hall slash her stomach with a switchblade.
"ASHLEIGH!" I screamed. Wendy, Keith, and Sven went close to the Shadow Crystal with the blue, red, and yellow gem as I ran to go to Ashleigh. She punched Blake Hall in the face, causing him to be knocked out.
Darkrai let Heath and Wheeler out of the darkness and I was soon at Ashleigh's side. She was holding her stomach, obviously in pain.
"Darn it, wasn't expecting him to pull out a switchblade during our battle," she said. "I tried to knock it out his hand using the bo staff, but it didn't work."
"We need to get you to hospital," I replied.
"Aw, but that place smells funny," she replied while wrinkling her nose, causing me to laugh. She took off her glasses and moved them to sit on the top of her head, allowing me to see her blue eyes. She smiled.
"KELLYN!" Keith, Karrie, Sven, and Wendy shouted. Hastings came up and saw the scene.
"Um, Heath, can you carry your boss and we'll escort you to prison?" Hastings asked and Heath nodded. "Where are the gems? I see the Shadow Crystal is now the Luminous Crystal."
"Um, they kind of stayed floating around the crystal," Karrie replied.
"Hey, can we get Ashleigh to the hospital?" I asked as I made sure Ashleigh had support as she held her stomach to try to put pressure on her wound so the bleeding would slow down.
"ASHLEIGH!" everybody shouted.
"Hi guys!" Ashleigh replied with a smiled.
"What happened to you?" Karrie asked.
"And why's Blake -I mean Wyatt- unconscious?" Wendy asked.
"Um, well, he got me with a switchblade and I got mad so I hit in the face and knocked him out!" Ashleigh replied with a smile. "We were fighting hand-to-hand combat, so that why he looks pretty beat up." Wendy nodded though everyone else was shocked.
"Well, don't just stand there!" Hastings said. "Kellyn, Karrie, and Keith, go take Ashleigh to the hospital. Sven, escort these Pokemon to where ever they belong. Wendy, help me escort Heath, Wheeler, and Wyatt." We all nodded and Wendy left with Hastings with Heath, Wheeler, and Wyatt.
"Sven, those Pokemon are mine so it won't be hard to make sure they go home," Ashleigh said before closing her eyes and fainting. I'm glad I had a hold of her so I could catch her. I carried her and we went on Tropius since it was big enough to carry at least four people. It flew to the hospital and Ashleigh was rushed to the emergency room. I was forced to wait outside her room while they worked on her to heal her injury and give her blood.
A girl with short brown hair who wore pink glasses and wore a nurse's uniform.
"I heard Ashleigh Tsuyoi is in the hospital," the girl said.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I'm Erica Chikiyu," she replied. "I'm a friend of Ashleigh's and a Pokemon Nurse, or at least I will be once I graduate. I'm on vacation, and I was going to visit her when I heard she's in here." I nodded. "What happened?"
"She engaged a bad guy in hand-to-hand combat and the guy pulled out a switchblade on her." I replied. "He only got to slash her stomach though, so hopefully she'll be out of the hospital soon." Erica nodded.
"You wouldn't happen to be Kellyn Hajime, would you?" Erica asked.
"How did you know my name?" I asked and she smiled.
"Ashleigh talks about you all the time over the phone." she replied.
"She does?" I asked and she nodded, causing me to blush. So, she used to talk about me all the time and she still does?
"So, do you like her?" Erica asked and I blushed.
"I love her," I replied.
"Then I know you'll take good care of her," Erica replied with a smile. She then handed me a piece of paper with her number on it. "Call me when she's ready to have visitors, okay?" I nodded. "I'm going to visit Ashley now. I heard she's got a crush on a co-worker." She smiled and then left.
I waited and waited until a nurse came out and told me that they were done and I could come in to see her if I wanted.
I went in and sat by her bed. I held her hand since she was still asleep and waited until she woke up. She woke up the next morning.
"You're awake!" I said and she smiled before hugging me. She released me from the hug and looked into my eyes with her blue eyes.
"When do I get out of the hospital?" she asked. "It smells like that funky apple sauce they serve here." I laughed.
"When the doctors say you can," I replied. "Oh, and your friend Erica visited while you were getting stitches."
"Erica's in Almia?" she asked and I nodded. She let out a squeal.
"Wow, someone's happy to know that I'm here," Erica said as she walked in the room with Ashley, Ben, Keith, Karrie, and two other girls. "Kellyn, the black haired girl is Cassidy and the girl with orange-brown hair is Emily." I nodded and then Erica, Ashley, Cassidy, Emily, and Ashleigh hugged each other.
We then had visitors from the Ranger School. They were Kenzie, Takara, Sandy, Deia, Phoenix, Kitt, and Kitty. They all hugged Ashleigh, well all except Kitt, and then Kitty made Kitt hug Ashleigh. It was hilarious to watch.
They all talked and shared stories as well as laughed. It was a happy time and I couldn't help but smile.
"So, have you told her that you love her?" Ben asked and I blushed.
"Yes," I replied. "And she loves me back." Ben smiled and nodded. "So, have you told Ashley that you love her yet?" Ben turned bright red.
"No, not yet," Ben replied. "But soon."
"Hey, don't wait forever or you might lose her," I said. "You and Keith told me something similar to that if my memory is correct." Ben smiled.
"Thanks for advice," Ben replied. We then watched the joy on the girls we love's faces with smiles on our own faces. This could have continued forever if the nurses didn't come in and say that Ashleigh could be removed from the hospital as long as she took it easy for a week and that she wanted all of us to be quiet. Ashleigh rejoiced and we went to the Ranger Union. Ashleigh talked to Erma and then she talked to the kids from the Ranger School as we escorted them back to school. She found out that Deia wanted to follow her coordinator path and Phoenix wanted to be a breeder so she gave them a few tips and some words of encouragement before leaving.
We walked to Chicole Village and visited my house to get hugged by Kiwi. Mom made us lunch and my house never has been this full of people before thanks to Ashleigh's friends. Her friends seem nice, but that is what is expected from a girl like Ashleigh.
After lunch, we hanged by the ranch before heading over to Ashleigh's house since Ashleigh wanted to change back into her Ranger uniform and show her friends and everybody else her house. She was teased about it being the house where her and I would start a family in it, causing both of us to blush.
I then told her that we had a week before we could go back to the Union since they were going under repairs so she changed into a t-shirt and shorts before running outside, despite what the doctors said. We spent time on the swings and I just listened to Ashleigh and her friends' stories of the past and present, joining in only when I was there in the story.
After all the fighting, this was the best for all of us.

Ben: nothing!
