Summers' P.O.V

I woke up the next morning with a groan. I sighed as I pulled myself out of bed. I looked over to Ben's bed, he wasn't in it.

I sighed as I got dressed and did my normal morning routine before walking into the kitchen. Leanne and Nema were cooking breakfast while Rand spoke with Ben, Pichu on his shoulder as he did so.

"Mis?" I smiled as Misdreavus flew over to me, resting on my head as I walked over to Leanne and Nema.

"Morning Summer," Leanne smiled.

"Morning," I replied as I walked over to the oven.

"Mom's not cooking a large breakfast we need to be in Cocona Village later," Nema smiled as she walked passed me.

"How come?" I asked.

"It's a surprise," Rand spoke up as he ruffled my hair. I shook my head as I sat down. I wasn't really that hungry, so I was glad it was only a small breakfast.

Leanne set plates down in front of me and Ben, who was sat across from me. Nema handed us a glass of water each before walking out the house.

"Once you've finished come to Cocona Village together, ok?" Leanne asked.

"Why?" I asked.

"Surprise," Rand answered as he and his wife left the house.

"The hell's going on with those three?" I asked as I looked at my plate. I drank my water as Ben remained silent, though I could tell he was staring at me.

"Mis?" I looked up to Misdreavus.

"Hungry?" I asked, she nodded her head, I threw her a small piece of toast up to her, she ate it happily.

We carried on eating, while Ben carried on staring. Finally, I'd have enough I slammed my hands onto the table.

"What?" I asked. "Why do you keep staring at me?" I looked at the brown haired boy in front of me. He glared at me before looking away. "I asked a question," I growled as I glared at Ben. "I expect an answer."

"Or what? You'll stab me again?" Ben asked as he turned to glare at me. I looked at him in shock before turning away from you.

"You were the one who wanted me to switch sides," I stated.

"I never thought you'd be a Ranger though," he hissed. I balled my fists as I glared at Ben.

"I've made mistakes but I've made up for them. I've saved your ass Arceus knows how many times. I've saved Leanne and Nema, captured legendry pokemon and helped out around the Union. Everyone else is cool with this and it only seems to be me you're pissed at, now Ania," I growled as I stood up.

"I didn't trust Ania like I did with you," Ben stated as he also stood up. I looked at him in shock before shaking my head.

"Screw, I'm going to Cocona Village," I replied as I placed my things into the sink. Ben followed behind me as I stuffed my hands into my pockets. I didn't turn to look at him, or even to speak to him.

"Pi?" I heard Pichu asked from behind me with Ben, who didn't say anything.

We arrived in Cocona Village to people who were cheering and laughing, while dancing to music that blasted through loud speakers.

"What's going on?" I asked over the music as I ran to Leanne, who smiled.

"It's the Rainbow Festival, for the Heroes of Oblivia. Sure Oblivia hasn't been saved properly yet, but we celebrate at this time either way," Rand smiled as he looked at Ben and me.

"So, what do we do?" Ben asked as he stood next to me, though he didn't look at me.

"Everyone, please direct your attention to the stage," I looked behind Rand to see a girl stood on the stage. "This year's Rainbow Festival was almost cancelled due to the Pokemon Pinchers. While the Pinchers haven't completely gone, it's much safer now thanks to our two Top Ranger Ben and Summer," everyone started clapping for me and Ben.

"Thank you Rangers!" someone called.

"You might as well just live here in Oblivia!" someone else called.

"If you do then Rand would have nothing to do," someone stated. I couldn't help laughing at the last one though.

"Ok everyone listen up," we all turned back to the stage. "I'm sure you all know this part of the Rainbow Festival. It's time to announce who will be playing the Hero who searches for the Grail. This year, that role will be played by Ben and Summer," oh boy. "Let's give them a hand," people started applauding but I could tell Ben wasn't impressed. What did he expect though?

"How great," Nema smiled as she walked over to the two of us.

"Last year I was the Hero who searched for the Grail," we turned to see Booker walking up to us.

"Hey Booker," I smiled as I waved. Keith and Kate walked behind him with Ania and Murph.

"Hello Summer, now, let me do the explainin'," Booker smiled as he looked at Ben and me. The Pichu from Dolce Island rode on Kate, Keith, Murph and Ania's shoulders before jumping off. "The Hero of Oblivia's search for the Grail is the highlight of the festival. Since you were picked as the Heroes you have to go to Rasp Cavern and search for the Grail in there, then bring it back here to the Village. In order to get the Grail you must pass the Heroes Trial," Booker explained, I nodded my head.

"Sounds scary, but fun," Murph smiled.

"Oh don't be such a baby Murph," Ania smiled as she ruffled his hair. I saw a faint blush creep onto Murph's face as she did so, I couldn't help smiling wider.

"I'll meet you at Rasp Cavern," Booker smiled before taking off. I watched him go while Kate, Keith, Ania and Murph wished us good luck.

I nodded as I walked off with Ben by my side. It wasn't long until he fell behind in step as we walked. Misdreavus rested on my head as we walked, she must really like it up there.

We got to Rasp Cavern rather quickly, but the place seemed to be crumbling more than when I first arrived here.

We walked through. I was careful to avoid anything that looked like it would crumble, but Ben didn't.

I turned around in alarm when I heard him yelp and the rocks crumble. I quickly ran over to where he was, clutching onto a rock so he wouldn't fall.

I watched as he tried to pull himself up with another rock, but it crumbled under his hands.

"Ben, give me your hand already," I ordered as I held my hand out, Ben just glared at me. I could tell he was still pissed. "Ben trust me," I ordered.

"I did and you lied to me," he replied as he looked up at me. I griped my fists as I tried my hardest not to yell at him.

"Benjamin Natsuya, if you don't grab my hand you'll fall. Yes, I lied but it was for the best, no one needed to know who I was or what I've done. I'm sorry if I hurt you, and for the things I did, like stabbing you, but what's done is done I can't change the past, not give me your hand," I ordered as I glared at him. Ben just looked at me with hard eyes, he wasn't going to shift.

I pulled my hand away as I stood up.

"Fine, then die," I said before walking off. Pichu stood in front of me as he glared at me.

"Pichu, pi!" it yelled at me. I looked at the yellow mouse.

"I don't speak pokemon," I stated as I tried to walk passed it, but Pichu zapped me. "The hell was that for?!" I hissed as I glared at the pokemon.

"Ben's your partner, you may be mad at each other, but don't you dare leave him there to die," this time I understood Pichu loud and clear as he glared at me.

"Pichu's right," Misdreavus agreed, how can I suddenly understand them? I turned around to see Ben still hadn't pulled himself up.

I walked back over to the edge; Ben was looking down into the blackness below him.

"You might not trust me," I stated, Ben's head snapped up to me. "But just take my hand so you don't die already," I pleaded. He looked at me with a shocked expression as I held my hand out to him. He still didn't take it. "What do I have to do to prove to you I'm not gonna kill you?" I hissed as I balled my fists. "Damn it Ben!" I cursed as I hit the rocks on the wall. A few tumbled passed Ben's head towards the darkness.

I sighed. I heard the rock Ben was clinging to move slightly. My eyes went wide as I reached down. The rock came from the wall; Ben's hand came flying up.

I caught it in my own as I pulled him up to safety. I kept pulling him as I tripped over a rock. I fell backwards as he fell forwards. I landed with a bang as I bashed my head onto the ground, groaning as I did so.

Ben landed on top of me, his hands flying out to the sides of my head to stop himself from moving any closer to me. I reached my hand around to feel my head.

Now, I wasn't one to have weaknesses showed, but ever since I bumped my head at the Arceus awful submarine, my head as been more sensitive than ever before.

I sighed as I felt the blood coming from it. I could feel tears pricking at my eyes. I opened them to see Ben looking down at me, his face slightly red and shocked.

"You gonna get off me any time soon?" I asked in a whisper, trying to keep my voice from cracking. Ben jumped off as I sat up; my head began spinning as I leaned on the wall for a second or two.

"Are you coming? We have things to do," Ben stated as he looked at me. I snapped my head up to glare at him.

"Give me five, my head's spinning like crazy," I muttered as the tears fell from my eyes.

"Why?" Ben asked.

"I hit my fucking head on the floor pulling you up, idiot," I snapped as I held my head, which was still bleeding.

"Let me look," Ben ordered.

"Fuck off," I muttered as I just sat there. Ben moved my head from my head as he took a look before stepping away.

"It's a small cut, suck it up like you normally do," he ordered as he started walking away. I sighed as I stood up, a little shakily before walking to catch him up.

We were soon with Booker, who noticed my face was slightly pale.

"Summer, are you ok?" he asked. I nodded my head.

"Fine, just tell us what we need to do," I ordered. Booker nodded his head as he began explaining everything about the trial. Wasn't really much, stand on each stone once and get around the board, easy enough.

The challenge was done in a few minutes, more like seconds. Nick then appeared and gave us the Rainbow Grail. I took it before we started walking back to Cocona Village.

Fine minutes later we were stood in front of the stage that the girl was on.

"Attention everyone. Our Heroes have completed the trial and safely brought up the Rainbow Grail," cheers went up as people threw about congratulations. I stood with Ania, leaning on her slightly. "Now then, please enjoy the Rainbow Dance, performed by eight Pichu from Dolce Island. This year, there will also be a Ukulele performance," the girl said before walking off the stage.

We watched the Pichu perform in silence, they were actually pretty good. The dance was so cute too.

"That was the Ukulele and Pichu Dance performance. Now then, O Heroes of Oblivia. Hold the Grail you brought high above you head. Now, everyone, let's show our gratitude for the peace we enjoy in Oblivia," the girl ordered. Ania nudged me.

I looked up before walking onto the stage and holding the Grail above my head. Different clouds of smoke appeared as I did so, people cheered left right and centre, though the loudest was Murph.

Booker asked the Pichu for an encore, while an old lady said to dance until our legs gave out.

I jumped down from the stage with the Grail, which I placed on a stand before walking back over to Kate and the others.

We all talked, laughed and had a bit of fun. It was relaxing in a way, but I noticed the fear in Leanne's eyes whenever she looked at me.

Ben seemed ok with me now, I knew he still didn't trust me, but after saving his life, once again, he must trust me slightly. I looked at Ania, who started talking, but for some reason she sounded far away, so did the music for that matter.

I held my head as I dropped my drink onto the floor. My friends turned to look at me with a confused expression.

"Summer?" Kate asked.

"Summer you ok?" Keith asked.

I couldn't heard them properly, it sounded like I was under water as they spoke. I closed my eyes as I fell to the ground; everything went blank from there out.


Bens' P.O.V

I watched as Summer fell to the ground. On instinct I held my hands out to catch her. She fell to her knees and then into my arms. I looked at her with a confused expression as Ania knelt down next to her.

"Her head's bleeding, why's her head bleeding?" she asked as she looked up at me.

"She saved me in Rasp Cavern and hit her head. It wasn't bad, so I told her to suck it up," I answered. Ania stood to her feet as she slapped me across the face. The music stopped as everyone turned to look in our direction.

"You idiot! A simple cut to the head can cause a concussion, heck with Summer and the stuff she's been through it could cause her to fall into a coma. Her head's the most sensitive part on her body, and if hit too hard she could pass out easily. You're lucky she saved you, but that gives you no right to tell her to ignore it. You should have told her to get it looked at, or told me yourself," Ania growled as she took Summer from me before passing her to Murph.

"Booker can we use your house?" Murph asked, Booker nodded his head.

"I didn't know," I stated as Ania turned away, she turned back to me with a glare.

"No, you didn't know. You don't know anything about her and now, because you've found out who she really is, you think you know everything single detail about her life. Well let me tell you this Ben, you don't know jack shit about Summer's life, where she came from or how bad she's had it. I don't care if you're mad at her for finding out she's Oris or not, but you have no right to judge her at all. If you knew what's gone on in her past you'll regret your actions fully and you'll regret ever being mad at her. People do stupid things, but you've done one of the most stupid things anyone could ever do in their life. You've lost one of the best friends you'll ever have," Ania hissed as she turned away from me again.

"That's what all this is about? What you're all yelling at me for? Because I found out who she really is?" I asked. Ania turned back to me.

"No, you didn't find out who she really is. Summer's a lot of people, Oris is one of them, but if you took time out to actually try to know her, trust me, you'll regret everything you've said to and about her," she answered before running off towards Booker's house.

Kate looked at me with a disappointed look before running off with Keith. Nema stood next to me as she sighed.

"Ania's right, you should apologise for what you've said, maybe then things will get sorted," she stated before returning to the festival with her parents.

I had to apologise for something I haven't done? I have every right to be angry at Summer for what she's done in the past.

I walked through the forest fuming as I tried my hardest not to hit anything or anyone who passed me. Pichu had gone with the others, so I was by myself.

"Well, well, look who found out about Summer," I turned around to see Jayden stood behind me. I glared at him as he walked over to me.

"I thought you were injured?" I asked as I got into a fighting position.

"Oh, I was, but now I'm bandaged up. So, enjoy finding out about my sister?" he asked as he leaned on a rock.

"Don't try making small talk, what do you want?" I asked, Jayden looked at me with a smirk.

"To help you. You want revenge on my sister right? Well, if you join us, then you can get that revenge quite easily," he answered while looking up at the stars, the smirk still on his face.

"You want me to join you?" I asked. Jayden nodded his head as he turned to me with his hand held out.

"What do you say?" he asked. I reached my hand out.

"BEN!" Summer steered her Staraptor in front of me.

"Summer, I don't know if this is real or not, but I need your help and soon, they're planning to kill me Summer, I need you now more than ever."

"Don't be a pervert Ben."

"You always have to ruin a moment?"

"Hop on."

"BEN!

I wrapped my arms around her waist as she buried her head into my chest.

"Way to ruin it."

"Stop being a pervert."

"Ben come on, we have a mission."

"Did you forget or something."

"Benjamin Natsuya, if you don't grab my hand you'll fall. Yes, I lied but it was for the best, no one needed to know who I was or what I've done. I'm sorry if I hurt you, and for the things I did, like stabbing you, but what's done is done I can't change the past, not give me your hand."

I stopped as the images played in my mind, memories of what Summer had said to me.

I stared at Jayden's hand. Do I shake it and join them, or do I remain loyal to the Rangers? Do I betray Summer, or do I stay with her?

So many things to consider. I looked at Jayden, who smiled at me as he motioned to his hand.

What do I do?


Yo guys!
