Chapter 25: Friends Lost and Found

In my arms, Luna starts to wake up. She smiles. "Hello Mommy."

I hug her tightly. "I love you, Luna. I hope we can get to Cyllage today."

"Doesn't look like it unless you want to camp." Ash states. "The Sun is going down."

"I don't mind sleeping under the stars." I say.

"Me neither. I used to do that when Gardevoir was a Ralts and Kirlia. We bought a house before she evolved."

I think I'm starting to blush. I hear shouting to the east. I hear metal clanking also. Lysandre runs through the gate. The inventor keeps running and a purple pokemon leaps in front of him. Lysandre tried running around it, but it cuts his legs off. His agonizing screams fill the air. The pokemon is defiantly a steel type. "Calem. Catch it."

He has no choice. He throws the Master Ball. Luckily, it didn't miss. I just use Psychic to hand it to Calem. It stops shaking and stays still. Lysandre gets picked up. "You took him away. Genesect was a vital part of our plan. Team Flare! Kill her."

They aim a pistol at me. They shoot and in a split second, one of Calem's pokeballs opens. Gallade appears in front of me, taking a bullet for me. Gallade drops to the ground. I blast several Psychic attacks and stun Team Flare. I put Luna on the ground next to me and I cry for Gallade. I look at him and he is looking at me and smiling. "You're a pretty girl."

I smile. Those were his first words to me. "You are a gallant pokemon." I say.

He smiles and closes his eyes. His breathing slows and eventually stops. He's dead. I pick up his body and, using Psychic, make a hole as big as Gallade in the ground. I lay him in it and cover it up. I look at Team Flare and get mad. I blast rapid Psychic attacks with Luna and Blade. They send out dark types to try and block it. It works. We can't get through Psychic types. I use Moonblast to get rid of them. After the pokemon are down, I continue with Psychic. Soon they lay on the ground, knocked out. "How do you like that?" Calem says.

I frown. I still think it isn't enough. I charge up a Psychic attack and aim at Lysandre. By then Calem notices me. He runs up to stop me. I am about to fire the attack when Calem slaps my hand downward. The attack hits the ground. "Don't kill him. You will be taken away and maybe killed."

"He killed Gallade. You would do the same if I died."

"But you wouldn't have died. You're a Time Lady."

I put my hand down. I slap myself. I start to cry for the millionth time that day. "Stop saying that! I actually wish I was mortal!"

I realize what I said. If I were mortal, I wouldn't be standing here right now. I start to cry even more. "You don't mean it, do you?"

"Just stay away!" I yell and teleport to anywhere but here.
